So I lay my head back down
and I lift my hands and pray.
To be only yours I pray,
to be only yours.
I know now you're my only hope. ► Rose was proud of herself for about two point five seconds when her son got her meaning through her gaze, her brows furrowed at her son as he spoke, chewing the inside of her bottom lip. Her expression turned concerned.
"Sev..."
She watched as he stood, gathered his things, at a complete loss. She knew teenagers were going to be a handful, but this much? Her eyes flitted to her husband and then back to her two children. She was half tempted to leap after him as well, but the grief, the Lupinisms that rarely surfaced, glued her to her seat like a well-cast sticking charm, her distraught clear behind a thin veil of a light sigh as she looked away.
"If he - if both of you wish to go, you're free to do so."
Her voice was light, and she wasn't looking at them.

You ought to be more careful.
People will think you're...
Up to something. Severus’s eyes didn’t leave his son as he walked away from the table towards the door. He quickly stood as Lily stood to follow his son. For a moment, he was worried that she, too, was leaving. It was a terrible disrespect towards him, and more importantly their mother. If there was one thing he hated the most, it was seeing Rose upset. His jaw worked as he saw Lily talking gently to his son, and then his eyes glanced over at Rose while she spoke. His hardened expression softened just a tad, something he had been working on – not being so closed off all the time when it came to his family. His eyes had expressed what was going through his mind right now – not anger really, more sadness than anything else. “Severus,” He said lowly, but it wasn’t a tone they had been used to hearing. It was softer, lower, and most surprisingly, vulnerable. It as if he was pleading with his son. He couldn’t say he understood what was going on with his son right now, but he did know things were difficult for him – especially given his house and who his father was. In a lot of ways, he blamed himself for it. Yet, he still didn’t change. Despite knowing things were difficult for his son, he had refused to change, and perhaps that was a failure on his part. He didn’t even know if he could change. |

[attr="class","junior"] [attr="class","rubedo"] [attr="class","urtv"]✎ 166 WORDS [attr="class","albedo"]JUST LIKE 「MAGIC」 I'LL BE FLYIN' 「FREE」 | [attr="class","gaignun"]Stopping in his tracks because of his sister, his face still blank, he took in a deep breath, about to reply when he heard his mother speak up – and then his father said his name in a tone he rarely had heard before. His chest felt heavy, but his mind was stubborn. “Oh shove off, Lily. You don’t want to be here as much as me. You’re just encouraging them.” He didn’t turn back towards his parents, his eyes closing for a moment. He loved them, he loved them very much. But he couldn’t stand sitting there and pretending everything was alright. He’d done that through the whole summer. Hell, they didn’t know, or at least mention how he had been sneaking out at night occasionally to go hunt down a possible story. “If they actually cared they’d give a reason to stay other than those puppy dog stares they’re giving us.” Severus rolled his eyes and moved out of her grip and out the door.

Lily stood up from her chair and walked over, taking Sev by his arm gently. This wasn’t a side that she showed to many people, besides Harry Potter, regularly, but if anything that fact emphasized the importance of all of this to her. Lily was a rebel. A spit fire. She didn’t care what people thought about her. But that line usually stopped at her family. While she still kept the act up, like she had earlier in the evening regarding her essay, Lily did care what they thought and she wanted them to get along, even if it was just pretending and sitting pretty for her mothers sake. “I know.” she admitted quietly. Everything he was saying was true, she was encouraging them. “But what’s the harm? Just stay for me then.” she shrugged, all of this in a whisper as to not upset her parents more. Sev didn’t seem to care and after her parents both spoke, her mother's words prompting her to roll her eyes, she knew her father had sealed the deal. Sev removed her hand from his arm and walked out of the chamber.
Lily stood there frozen for a second, staring after him. She turned back and both of her parents had their eyes on her. She should return to the table. Maybe she could make some excuse for him. They were twins, right? There was supposed to be some sort of telepathy there. She sighed, catching both of their eyes just barely. “I’m sorry.” she insisted, her voice sincere. Leaving her own book bag and sweater in the chamber, she ran out the door after her brother, even if he wouldn’t return, at least she could try to ensure that he wasn’t too upset or alone. Someone had to.

I know now you're my only hope. ► The kicker was the tone of her husband's voice that broke her. She knew her family wasn't perfection, hell, she didn't want it to be. She knew it was hard for them. Her husbands name had a weight to it, just as Lupin or Black or Potter did. She had been attempting to keep things as light as possible. But even she had her misgivings. Treating things as a joke, a lot of the time.
She stood with loud noise from her chair that caused her to wince. Puppy-dog stares? She winced at that as well, her teeth sinking into her bottom lip.
Sev left, and Lily chased after him and she stood there a moment, her eyes closed, collecting herself. She was barely holding herself together, but she knew it would only be made worse if she became visibly upset in front of her husband. He had that sort of sense about him - he could probably already sense it.
She inhaled, looking towards him, "I'm going to find Remus. I need a level head right now."

Up to something. Severus sighed as he sat down, the two leaving the room before his eyes. His wife spoke, and he glanced over. Running a hand through his hair he nodded. He reached over, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. “Alright. I’ll be here for when you’re ready.” He gave her a sad smile and a nod. “I’ll clean up from dinner, get everything ready for bed.” He swallowed and then his usual expression appeared on his face, hardened up, less vulnerable and more cold, callous. Leaning towards her, he pressed a kiss to her lips before standing and beginning to clean on up. It hurt, yes. He didn’t know what to do. No one gave him a guide on how to raise children and he had thought that they had done a good job up until now. But for some reason, he had the feeling they both hated him. And that killed him – to know his wife was hurting because he was a terrible father. He needed time to think, of how to fix this situation. He couldn’t stand seeing his children upset like this, his wife upset like this. But he didn’t know what the problem was. If they just talked to him about it… He shook his head and quickly distracted his mind with cleaning off the plates. TAG: n/a

I know now you're my only hope. ► She felt his touch but barely processed it, both him tucking the piece of hair behind her ear and the press of his lips to hers. Her eyes went to his and finally, she moved, pressing a hand to his chest. "We'll get through this. It's just... sixteen-year-olds being sixteen-year-olds. This is nothing on you, or I." That was the only bit of encouragement she could offer him at this very moment, as she raised her hand to his cheek, caressed it with a small smile, an "I love you" and then turned to move out the door. They both needed time to think, and she needed someone to bounce everything off of. Her getting emotional with Severus was not the way to go about it, at the moment. To be continued... Kids too. |
