Forever
Nothing ever could last forever, they all three knew, but it didn't stop them from trying to immortalize every moment they shared. They all kept busy with their own respective jobs, and it often kept them apart, but it made the time they did spend together that much more special.
Even as the roses that Draco would bring home as a just because gift for Theo and Luna shriveled and died, soon to be replaced with their relatives. The symbolic nature of their significance never dulled.
Luna was gone the most out of the three, leaving Theo and Draco to their own company to pass the time, they didn't mind. They understood the importance of Luna's passion in her work and study of creatures. Sometimes it kept her from them for weeks, even months. Upon her return, they always showered her with affection, wishing to reinforce her sense of belonging with them and that they hadn't forgotten about her.
It was a magnificent feeling to welcome her back, as if they were re-experiencing their introduction with her all over again. Her simple grace and beauty could shatter the fabric of their reality, and neither of them ever cared to notice time slipping away in the heat of the moment.
The love that they shared only grew with each encounter, their want for each other never faltered, a need they could never do without. And as the time ticked on, forever aged their love like a delicious wine they never could run out of. Always drinking from it and welcoming the shift they could make their reality move when they wanted to, even to the point where it would crumble into nothingness.
Never had any of them felt like they didn't belong. They all shared an equal love, the gentle touch of comfort, a knowing that the three of them, no matter what trepidations they faced, would never falter.
