Chapter 13
“It is. Just trust me.” Sirius lead Severus a little while more, and then stopped. “Open your eyes.” he breathed into his ear.
Severus opened his eyes and stared right at...
About a hundred candles, surrounding a green blanket, with silver pillows on it. The candles were a dark green color, that kind of green, that Severus adored. The pillows and blanket were covered in dark red rose petals making the sight just a little more romantic.
“Sirius...” Severus said, speechless. He couldn’t believe what he saw in front of him.
“Don’t say anything.” Sirius just said, and softly pulled the Slytherin after himself, seating himself and Severus on the blanket. “I’ve got a surprise for you~ check out the sky though, first. It’s time...”
Curious, Severus looked at Sirius and asked “What kind of surprise?”
“Don’t be so nosy.” Sirius grinned, and look at him. “Come on, now look at the sky! Or you’ll miss it!”
So, the black-haired boy looked into the sky. And there it was, passing by... the most beautiful shooting star Severus had ever seen. But not only one, no, two or three of them appeared in the sky, and were gone only seconds later.
“...Did you make a wish?” Sirius asked, laying his arm around Sev’s shoulder.
“...Yeah.” he answered, and slightly leaned into the embrace. “Did you?”
“Sure as hell.” Sirius answered, and looked as Severus, before kissing him on the cheek. “Okay, now... how about you get that surprise hm?”
Blushing, Severus shot Sirius a glance and then nodded. He was sure, that if he looked at Sirius now, he would fall even harder for him.
Severus heard a rustling of cloths, and then Sirius asked “Aren’t you going to look at me, Severus?”
A little hesitant, Severus turned his head, and looked as Sirius. And just as he had thought, he felt himself falling in love with Sirius even more. Why had he looked at him...? He was so stupid.
“Okay, before I give you this...” Sirius said, “I want to tell you again, how sorry I am Severus. I’m sorry I hurt your feelings, and I’m never, ever going to do that again. I love you Sev. Nothing is going to change that.”
Every word made Severus blush more, made him feel a little bit more uncomfortable... but in a strange and... good way. “It’s okay Sirius. I... I believe you.” If he had to tell the truth, the fact that Sirius had actually set all this up had made it okay again.
“Okay... so, I really want you to have this okay?” he smiled a little, and held out a little box to the Slytherin. “Please take it, and keep it safe.”
Severus took the box, carefully, softly... he didn’t want to break whatever it was. Taking another look at Sirius, he opened it, and was so surprised, he almost dropped it.
“Sirius you can’t give me this, you just can’t!” Severus breathed, looking down at the heart-shaped, green diamond, the size of his palm. “You... you can’t get married without this! It’s Black-tradition!”
Sirius just smiled, and said “...Sev, you’re getting this all wrong. Think about it again.”
Severus looked down at the diamond, and then up at Sirius again. “No way.” he breathed, closing the box. “Noo Sirius, this isn’t right. This can’t be good. Sirius, you aren’t serious!”
But Sirius just smiled, took one of Severus hand and said. “Severus Snape, you are... the most beautiful... incredible... undescribable person I have ever met in my life. I love you so much it hurts just breathing without you here with me.”
“Sirius stop...” Severus whispered, not believing his ears “Please Sirius..”
“I don’t want to be without you.” Sirius continued. “I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“Sirius!” Severus said, turning away his head. This couldn’t be happening...
“Please take the heart, that is given to every black to give to the person he loves. Take this as a promise that I will marry you one day Severus. I beg of you.” Sirius softly made Severus look at him again.
Severus starred at Sirius for a few minutes, then looked at the box in his hands.
“I beg of you Sev.” Sirius repeated. “Be my fiancee.”
“...okay.” Severus whispered, gripping Sirius’ hand tightly. “Okay...”
Overjoyed with glee, Sirius hugged Severus tightly, kissing him passionate and fiercely.
“Severus?” a voice called, so familiar, it made Severus freeze.
Sirius immediately let go of Severus, looking up totally confused.
Severus looked up, and starred straight into the face of...
