He fell asleep on his seat again.

Sophia entered his room to drop off some tea, but it looked like it was no longer needed to encourage him to take a break. She sighed, her lips painting a gentle smile at the pure sight.

She quietly placed the tray down at the table, then grabbed a blanket to tuck him in.

Sirius looked so peaceful when he slept. The stress and worry of his workload were temporarily non-existent in these moments – a much needed break for always working so hard.

She sat down beside him, a little close to the edge of the sofa to gaze upon his effortlessly handsome features. She giggled softly, just before leaning close to his eyelid and planting a heartfelt angel’s kiss on his warm skin.

His eyes slowly fluttered open, softening to a loving gaze as he realized that it was her.  He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close again, her hands on top of his shoulders and her leg rising to kneel on the sofa to support her balance.

“I love you, my little breath.”

The words turned into blue butterflies that perched on her shoulder, the undeniable feeling of her adoration for this man in her arms continuously growing at every second.

She places another angel’s kiss.

His warm skin turned cold against her lips and her eyes shot wide, realizing that he was now laying down against a bed of white lilies. The butterflies’ wings shed their majestic blue hues to dull brown ones and fluttered away, creating a maelstrom overhead. Her hand was placed against his chest – perfectly still, unbeating, and empty.

Tears were falling from her eyes and onto his cheek, not even flinching against the feeling of her confusion and grief. The clouds darkened and she felt the pit in her stomach increasing the longer she looked at his lifeless body.

But against all of these; he was radiant, glowing, and smiling.

He looked so peaceful when he was asleep.

She hoped that he would wake up when she kissed her against his eyelid – but he was peaceful.

She was never one for wishing, but at that moment;

“I wish you woke up like you always did.”

Her body shook as she shot awake, startled at the sudden drop of her heart. Sirius’s hold on her tightened, snapping her out of her confusion.

“Are you alright?”

Soph’s wide eyes stared back at his, still adjusting in the dark but she could clearly see the worry on his face.

It was just a dream.

Yet the feeling of loss and grief lingered at the too realistic nightmare and fed the void that filled her heart – and she sobbed.

She threw her arms around his neck and clung onto him as if the world would take him away so suddenly like in the scenario she’s just witnessed, desperately trying to stop her fears from taking over and convincing herself that he was still there, alive and breathing and living.

“It was just a dream, my little breath.”

He whispered very softly against her ear, holding her much closer to him and she nodded against the crook of his neck. Her tears stained his shirt and the skin of  her bare neck and collarbone while the cold wind wrapped around her legs and reminded her of the heartache.

“You’ll stay alive for me, right?”

He stilled for one moment, then brought the gold band on her finger against his lips.

“I will. I promise.”

He smiles wider, the reassurance of his promise dissipates the void in her stomach and the weight off of her shoulders. He cradled her in his arms until her breaths calmed from shuddering to rhythmic. He gently kissed the swollen, warm skin of her eyelid.

She finally looked peaceful when she slept.
