112. It's You

Inspired by the very cool song, As The World Caves In by Matt Maltese. Warning, I cried making this chapter lol. When Cardi said I like the pain, I second that so hard.

"Oh girl, it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh, it's you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves in"

"Peter.. Peter was the mole." Sirius muttered.

He watched, crouching by the window as the Death Eaters circled their small house.

It was only a week ago, he found out Voldemort visited James and Lily. It was only a week ago, his bestfriend died. It was only a week ago, he started resenting his own husband.

He rushed out to the other room, where Remus slept after the huge fight. It was horrible. They couldn't even look each other in the eye after what they've said.

At the same time, Remus came out. Eyes watering, wand ready. A slight tremble in his lips as he says, "I'm sorry  Sirius. It was never you. I'm Sorry- God I didn't know what I was thinking- to accuse you ?! Out of all people !"

Sirius dropped his wand and ran into his chest. His own tears already flowing, wetting a shirt he recognizes as his own. He clutched on to Remus like he was going to slip away.

The werewolf squeezed Sirius into his chest. He heard his lover sniff and shake in his arms. Is this what James felt that night ?

His life counting by the seconds. They pulled apart only to rejoin by their lips. A desperate last chance to fix what was broken.

Sirius smiled. His hands reached to his face, where Remus' palms were already encasing him. Sirius smiled because he knows. This was it. The only time to make things right.

"We have to get you out." He whispered. "I'll hold them off, buy time for you to go through the back door."

"No. No, no, fuck, never. I'm not leaving you again."

Remus closed his eyes and leaned his forehead on Sirius'. He kissed the raven hair. "I'm not leaving you again." He said, this time louder for the world to hear.

They join hands and go back to their shared bedroom. Turning the old record player on as the commotion started.

Death Eaters started to burn the house. Some of them coming in to make sure of their deaths.

But Remus and Sirius already downed a pill. A tactical purple pill designed by the muggles for instantaneous death once digested.  For dying was better than being taken alive.

The music drowned the loud jeers and the sound of wood breaking. Sirius hummed under his breath as Remus' hand found his waist.

Swaying softly from side to side. Sirius laid his head on Remus' chest, hearing his lover live. That's when he felt Remus really cry. Tearful, chest tightening cries.

"Oh no, no, my love. Why are you sad hmm ?" Sirius thumbed the droplets away.

Remus, of course, caught his hand and kissed his palm. "Because I didn't get to grow old with you. I didn't even get to marry you. I didn't get to propose, I didn't get to buy you a ring, a house, a new car-"

"Then propose to me now." Sirius smiled. His own tears cascading. "Though you already know the answer."

Remus sniffed. "Sirius Black, the love of my life, the person I'd walk the earth for, the Lily to my James-"

They broke into laughter.

"Will you stay with me for an eternity and after ?"

Sirius sighed in content. "I will. I love you so much, Lupin."

Then Remus watched as Sirius' eyes close. His body losing his power. Remus picked him up and laid him on their bed.

Just like their first night together. Remus carrying Sirius who was black out drunk to his bed. Those times felt like they were eons away.

Remus rested his body aside from Sirius. Fingers gliding, caressing his still wet cheeks. "Maybe in a different life, in another time, we will live forever, My lover."

His eyes closed, catching the figures crowding over them. His last sight was Sirius asleep with a blinding green light.
