Marauders Imagines || Vol. 1

(Request) Together At Last -Snape

Requested by: @Present_Mic_Got_Hoes

Imagine: Hey can we do one where we love Severus Snape but he loves Lily while we're younger. But when we get older he starts to realise his feelings for us and we end up married. Then at the war, he died and we are standing at the edge of a roof, and someone (you choose who) finds us and we are getting ready to jump and they ask us, "Why.... Why!?" And we respond with "I miss my lover man..." and jump. Then we wake up and we start to have a panic attack until Severus calms us down saying I'm here and stuff...

Warnings: mentions of death and suicide, light description of a panic attack.

------------

For as long as you can remember you've always been in love with the lonely Slytherin. Much like James was with Lily. Due to this you both built a mutual friendship despite being in different houses.

"Hey Severus." You beamed as you waved and the Slytherin walked past you on his way to his next lesson. As usual he completely ignored you, not even a glance in your direction.

Lowering your hand you tore your gaze to the floor, sighing defeatedly. "Why do I even bother." You muttered as someone stood beside you and placed their hand on your shoulder.

"It'll get better, trust me Y/N." James spoke as he too watched Severus walk off down the corridor.

It just didn't seem to matter what you did, Severus just wouldn't take any notice of you. After all he cared for Lily not you. "At least Lily actually speaks to you." You mutter coldly as you shrug his hand off you before turning away. "Sev doesn't even acknowledge I exist."

------------

Years passed and nothing seemed to change. That being said, the only time he spoke to you, the only time he held a single conversation with you, was when he asked you to join his side in the war.

"I'm sorry Sev but I'm not joining." You say as you speak to him at your front door.

"Why?" He questioned sounding hurt. You swallowed hard wanting so badly to tell him how you feel. But you didn't. You couldn't. "If you become a Death Eater you'll be protected." He begged. "I can protect you."

That was the last straw. "Protect me? Protect me from who? You didn't even acknowledge me when we were at Hogwarts, why would you possibly want to protect me now!" To say he was taken back by your outburst was an understatement. He stood there shocked and utterly speechless.

"I-" Before he could finish you slammed the door in his face. The moment the silence hit you your emotions ran loose, tears streamed down your face as you collapsed to the floor crying.

Raising his hand to knock again he stopped upon hearing your cry. A sudden rush of guilt hit him which prevented him from following through on knocking on your door again. You were right after all, he couldn't spend years of ignoring you just to then suddenly ask you to join him. Instead he slowly lowered his hand before walking away from your house.

Three weeks had passed before he knocked again. He had been in a duel with some aurors who had gotten the advantage of the fight pretty quickly. He barely made it out alive. He didn't plan on coming back to your house but he needed help and before he knew it his feet had taken him to your front door.

You on the other hand had gotten over the exchange pretty quickly, having spoken to the Potters about it. So you definitely weren't expecting him to show up on your doorstep late at night. Let alone injured.

Hearing someone apparate outside your front door you blew out the candles in the hallway, debating on not answering. Hoping that whoever it was would just go away and leave you alone. But before you could ignore it you heard a heavy thud followed by someone whining in pain.
