all i've ever wanted

He was a bright star in the darkness of life that surrounded her, a promise fulfilled after a lifetime of waiting. When she had very nearly given up hope he found her. He was possessive, fiery, and maybe he’d gone a little crazy. She had too. He was worth it, being here with him now, giving herself to him fully. Her future was bleak at best, but she could hold onto hope with him beside her. Sirius agreed they would leave their talks until tomorrow, and reminded her of the mead they’d left for themselves.

Deathbelle pulled back, a wicked grin playing on her features to match his own. The exhaustion of the day and being with him like this left her fatigued, but her muscles were soothed by the warm water and her worries by his warm gaze. Sore and tired, she was still eager to share a celebratory sip with him.

She didn’t try and slip away from his grasp, loathe to pull from him at all she led him closer to the ledge by the picnic where she grabbed the bottle of fermented honey. ”To a new beginning.” She toasted softly, taking a swig before offering the bottle to Sirius. This was a promise of something more, of having more than a quiet life. Of reclaiming who she really was.
