------------------------------------x------------------------------------


He was walking down a seemingly endless corridor, no light at all, moving completely blind, his hand on the wall to anchor himself. He didn’t know how long he walked for, the silence deafening, the darkness pressing in on him, oppressive and crushing. He thought he saw something, but it was just his mind playing tricks on him. He carried on, wondering why he was there, what his purpose was. Quite suddenly there really was something in the distance, a pin prick of light shining in the gloom. Sensing that that was where he needed to be he quickened his pace. The light got closer and closer until he found himself in a room that was softly lit by candles that floated around the room, illuminating a large bed in the centre of the room.

There on the bed, amidst the white silk sheets, was what he sought. Vast expanses of smooth skin covered long, lean limbs and sculpted muscle. Long dark hair was fanned over the pillows. As he watched, the object of his affections turned to look at him, beautiful eyes capturing his own and rooting him to the spot. One elegant hand ghosted over the smooth chest, stopping briefly to pinch a nipple, a silent moan erupting from between parted lips. The hand crept lower still, raking nails over the sensitive skin of inner thighs, drawing more silent moans from the figure. He saw muscles tense and twitch at the sensual touch. He was completely mesmerized by that hand as it finally grasped hold of the straining erection that was begging for attention. Slowly, up and down, pulling, squeezing, teasing, a thumb coming down to collect a glistening drop of moisture and returning to bring it up to parted lips, tongue daring out to taste the pearly essence. Meanwhile the other hand never stopped, bringing the figure closer and closer to completion, until finally, he watched as the other gave a final tug and came, back arched and mouth open in a silent cry of completion. This was the man he loved, the man he would spend the rest of his life with.

With a smile he made to move toward the bed, only to find himself still rooted to the spot. His lover looked at him again with those fathomless eyes, putting a finger to his lips. As he watched, another figure emerged from the gloom behind the bed, swathed in a black cloak. When it drew level with his lover, the new figure dropped the hood of the cloak to reveal red eyes and reptilian features. He tried to shout a warning, get to his lover, but his voice had left him and he was glued to the spot. A dagger was drawn from within the folds of the cloak, a snake winding around its hilt. He tried desperately to do something, knowing what was coming, but all he could do was watch as the new figure snaked an arm around his lover and thrust the blade into his heart. A look of complete surprise clouded the features of the man on the bed as he looked down at the dagger in his chest, a hand moving to gingerly touch it, fingers coming away covered in blood. Meanwhile the other figure faded back into the gloom, a look of triumph on its features. He watched as the white sheets became stained red with the loves precious life force and still he couldn’t move. He watched as the man crumpled to the bed, still holding his gaze, a bloody hand outstretched towards him. He watched as the life faded from the eyes he loved so much and he watched as the other mouthed ‘I love you’ one final time, moments before the last drop of life left him. He watched as the love of his life died and he could do nothing about it.

“HARRY!” he yelled, jerking upright in bed, covered in a cold sweat. Looking over he found the bed beside him empty and his heart nearly stopped, but seconds later the other man appeared at the bathroom door.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, moving to the side of the bed, surprised when a hand shot out and pulled him into strong arms.

“Oh god, you’re alive. I really thought you were gone,” he whispered.

“Sev, what happened? What’s wrong?” he said, wrapping his arms around the trembling form of his normally stoic lover. It scared him to see Severus like this when the man was usually so calm. He knew it must have taken something really terrible to affect him like this.

“You died. I watched you die Harry and there was nothing I could do about it. I was completely helpless as I watched the life drain out of you,” he said, a few stray tears forcing their way past his eyelids.

“Oh Sev, it was just a dream. I’ll never leave you, ever,” he promised, taking the man’s face in his hands so he could look into the onyx eyes that were filled with fear.

“I thought I’d lost you,” he said quietly.

“You can’t get rid of me that easily,” he smiled, wiping away the tears with his thumbs before leaning in to kiss him gently and sweetly, pouring every ounce of love he had in that one action.

Crawling back into bed he wrapped his arms around the other man and held him tight, rubbing a hand over his back. Severus took a deep breath, inhaling Harry’s unique scent, listening to the strong, comforting heartbeat and tucked his head into the crook of Harry’s neck. He’d never been more afraid in his life and he seriously didn’t know what he’d do without his lover. He felt sleep trying to claim him again, but he didn’t want to give in to it, afraid of what he would dream, terrified that when he woke up, Harry wouldn’t be there.

“Go to sleep Sev. I’ll be here when you wake up, I promise.”

“I love you Harry. Never leave me.”

“I won’t Severus, ever.”
