So sorry, I meant to have this posted ages ago.

The Silver Lining

Chapter Eight

"So if you want to find what would make my life worth living," Snape said. "Find me one person who cares. Just one person who gives a shit about what happens to me."

Then Snape moved to stand up, but Sirius, who was now sitting next to him, grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down.

Then he took the younger mans face in his hands and pulled him closer until their lips were almost touching.

"I care," Sirius whispered, closing his eyes in an attempt to not kiss the boy sitting next to him.

Sirius knew he couldn't do it. He wanted to, so badly, but he was afraid it would be the last straw, the one thing to finally send him over the edge (literally).

Just as he began to pull away, he felt Severus' lips on his own.

It wasn't anything like he had imagined (and believe me, he had).

It was better.

Once again, it's patheticly short.

And that's the end!

REview please
