Eternally Yours (Severus Snape x Reader)

Chapter 28 The London Eye

Three days later, you were feeling much better, with new energy, and enthusiasm on your being that Severus allowed you to finally get out of bed. He was by your side when you two descended the stairs and he never took his eyes off of you all day.

After the both of you ate breakfast, you were now sitting on the couch reading a book while Severus was doing god knows what in the kitchen. Suddenly, he walked to the room you were currently in and handed you a steaming cup of tea. "Drink this darling," he said, placing the cup on the coffee table and sitting next to you.

Lifting your (e/c) eyes from your book, you asked him "What is it?" his onyx eyes fixed on yours and he said "Just a tonic, it'll give you strength as I'm planning on taking you out today and neither of us would like you to feel tired, now would we?" you smiled at him and took the warm cup in your hands before starting to sip it slowly.

When the drink was gone, you felt with lots of energy so you stood up from the couch as well as Severus, there was a smile gracing your lips "So... where are we going?"

---

You and Severus were walking down the busy streets of London, both of you were wearing muggle clothes so as to not attract attention as you walked side by side. You enjoyed watching the city move around you, how people are always in their tiny little world, worrying about their own problems and not minding other people's business.

You didn't know exactly where Severus was taking you as you've barely been out in the muggle world. But you trusted him with all of your heart so you didn't question where he was taking you because you know he doesn't like it when you ask that, even though he's never said that to you before, you know it's true.

You both continued walking for a couple of minutes until Severus said "We are here." you looked ahead and your eyes widened with excitement as you saw the big Ferris wheel known as the London eye in front of you.

A wide smile spread across your face as you watched it with enthusiasm. You turned to look at Severus, warming his heart with your enchanting smile. Your (e/c) eyes glistened with something that the Potions Master couldn't quite place, but he wanted to keep that gleam in your eyes forever.

"Well, what are you doing standing here? Let's go." he said, making you squeal in pure excitement. Severus paid for a ride and the both of you stepped in the gondola. "Thanks, Sev." you said as a tiny smile graced his lips "You are very welcome, dear."

And just like that, the Ferris wheel started to move; you walked towards the glass as your eyes saw the beautiful city from where you were standing.

Severus walked to where you were standing, wrapping his strong arms around your waist while you had your nose pressed against the glass. Neither of you said a word, you just enjoyed each other's company.

The black-haired man standing behind you wanting nothing more than to freeze this moment and stay like this forever. With you in his arms gazing at the breath-taking sunset. Just the two of you.

"It's beautiful." you said, your voice merely a whisper but Severus caught your words clearly. Suddenly, the memory of you two standing in the astronomy tower came flashing through your mind. But this moment was even more magical as your love for Severus has grown by him reciprocating your feelings.

You put your hands over his large ones as you leaned on his chest, watching the Thames glisten under the last rays of the Sun. He looked down at you, pressing his chin over your head before his obsidian eyes fixed one more time on the horizon.

"I love you, Severus." Said man looked down at you once more, just to be met by a pair of (e/c) orbs glancing up at him "I love you too (y/n)." he murmured in your (h/c) locks as he buried his face in your hair, making a blissful sigh escape your lips.

You two stayed like that until the ride was over, with a faint smile on your face, you stepped out of the gondola but before you could start walking back to Spinner's End, or as now you know the place, home, Severus pulled out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket and with a muggle pen, you saw how he drew a line in it "There... now there's one thing less to do." he said before handing you the paper in which you saw that he had crossed 'A ride in the London Eye' you smiled up at him as you gave him the paper back as you two continued your journey back home. But this time, his hand was wrapped around yours the whole journey in a firm but at the same time gently grip In what you could say was a love-grip.
