HP: Embrace the Darkness

Previously, when he was revising his paper, Ases only paid a small part of his attention to Snape, and listened to what the two people on the screen were saying, but he didn't pay attention to the details at all. Now that he didn't have the paper to occupy his attention, he immediately found the clue and said abruptly: "He is lying to him."

Snape was stunned for a moment, and didn't react. He subconsciously asked, "What are you lying about?"

Ases curled his lips, with a tone that sounded like both sarcasm and sympathy: "It depends on whether he wants power or love, or both. However, the ending may not satisfy him. From the beginning, there was calculation in the relationship, and there is no guarantee that there will not be interests involved later. By then, even if he finds out that he really loves me... I'm afraid it will be too late."

Snape was thoughtful. He had set too big a filter for Athis. He couldn't get rid of the influence of the filter even when looking at the same face. He didn't think about other things at all. Only after being reminded by Athis did he realize the foreshadowing and trap in the boy's words.

Of course, these are not important.

The important thing is...

With a scientific research spirit, Snape asked Athis earnestly: "What about you? When did you realize that you fell in love with me?"

In fact, he had a vague answer in his heart, but he wanted to hear it from Ases.

Aces' breathing stagnated slightly, and his hand that was playing with Snape's hair suddenly stopped. It took a while before he continued. "Do you really want to know?"

Snape nodded without hesitation.

"When I saw the Boggart." Aces' voice was a little ethereal, but very clear, almost enunciating every word. "When I realized that I couldn't accept your death in front of me, I knew that my feelings for you were out of control."

Snape was silent for a moment, thinking of the boy who was so panicked that he lost his composure in front of him and was completely unable to keep calm.

He looked at Aces who was staring at his hair silently, as if he could see the results of the experiment from it. He didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only hold his hand with his backhand: "Aces."

Aces' pupils focused: "What's wrong?"

Snape didn't say anything. Aces smiled knowingly, "It's all over."

Afraid that Snape was still imagining things, Arces took the initiative: "I told you when I realized I fell in love with you, what about you? When did you realize you fell in love with me?"

"..."

Snape was silent for a long time, so long that Aces thought he didn't want to talk about this topic. When he was about to change the subject, his voice rang out: "When I was reluctant to die."

Ases was speechless for a long time.

Snape said nothing either.

The room suddenly became quiet. Aces could even hear his own deafening heartbeat. His Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably a few times. His heart was filled with complex emotions. The sour heat almost instantly rushed to his nose and eye sockets. He couldn't help but fall on Snape's thighs.

His eyes suddenly came into contact with the light, irritated, and he blinked very slowly, his voice indescribably hoarse: "...You."

Ases could only utter two words and could not say any more. He raised his hands to hide the surging suppressed emotions in his eyes.

He thought that no words could be more touching than these.

Looking at Athis who was lying on his legs and trying hard to cover up his mistake, Snape curled his lips silently, his eyes flickering with tiny lights, melting his originally cold and hard black eyes into a pool of spring water, gentle and full of vitality.

Full of vitality.

It is an adjective from Asseth.

He likes to describe his lover as lively.

Because he was still brooding over the lifeless Snape of the past few years, and also because he had seen what Snape really looked like when he was lifeless.

Snape, who was being described, also liked this description.

Because this is a unique evaluation from Assesse.
