My whole body was screaming with fatigue and I didn't want to move. My eyes were so sore that I couldn't open them even a crack, but I was conscious.

The rest time was too short. He had to accompany Lucius, Sirius and Regulus, and also go find Lily. A short week was not enough. If he overslept, the time he had saved would be completely wasted.

Wenxiu Lord closed his eyes and pulled the big pillow around his arms a little closer to his chest. He smelled the familiar herbal fragrance that made him feel very safe. He buried his face in the big pillow and took a deep breath.

Putting his legs on the sunken part of the big pillow and feeling the warm touch, Wenxiu Lord's eyes, which were originally a little sore, suddenly opened.

'Where did the pillow on his bed come from?!'

Severus was still sleeping soundly, wrapped in the quilt in his arms. Wenxiu Lord's legs were now resting on the sunken waistline of the black-haired boy lying on his side.

Wenxiu Lord quietly withdrew his legs and hands, trying to leave without waking Severus.

Feeling the weight on his body lighten, the sleeping Severus seemed a little uneasy. He pulled one hand out from the quilt, grabbed Wenxiu Lord's shirt, frowned slightly, and moved a few inches towards him.

Wenxiu Lord paused, his arm, which was half pulled out from under Severus's body, stiffened and dared not move.

He just lay there stiffly, allowing the black-haired boy to move until he felt the heat from his breath on his chest. Then Wenxiu Lord saw Severus smooth his brows and continue to sleep soundly.

The expression on the silver-haired boy's face was a little distorted, and he didn't know what expression he should make to face everything he experienced when he woke up.

Those who lay together before were brothers, but now they lie together as brothers who are greedy for his body.

Wenxiu Lord felt that he should leave quietly now and pretend nothing had happened.

Although judging from the first thing he saw when he woke up, it was probably because his hands and feet were not honest when he was asleep, but seeing that Severus did not forget to hold him even in his sleep, he felt a little distressed.

"I'm awake now, but Severus isn't. He must have gotten a bad rest these past few days. I should leave before he wakes up. Let him rest now."

Thinking of this, Wenxiu Lord, feeling guilty, lay back on the bed with his body stiff.

Feeling the mattress beside him sink, Severus who was 'soundly asleep' seemed to have a good dream. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he half pressed his whole body on Wenxiu Lord.

Wenxiu Lord, who was about to quit Severus-brand hypnotic aromatherapy, smelled the scent on him, and his eyes, which had been forced open due to shock, now began to feel drowsy.

In order to avoid falling asleep again, Wenxiu Lord forced himself to think of something to distract himself.

The disordered breathing after waking up seemed a bit noisy, at least Wenxiu Lord felt that his breathing was very abrupt in the quiet bedroom. Feeling the weight on his body, Wenxiu Lord half-closed his eyes and slowed down his breathing.

This seemed to be the first time he had admired Severus' sleeping face up close. Although they had slept together before, Severus often woke up earlier than him. Every time he woke up, Severus had already washed up and was reading a book waiting for him.

Now that he was "forced" to move, Wenxiu Lord finally had the opportunity to carefully observe the changes in Severus.

The current Severus was very different from the boy he first met. Needless to say, his appearance was very different. Vincius Lord raised Snape the cat very well, and raised him from a short-haired cat to a long-haired cat.

Severus followed his advice and grew his hair longer, from the original chin length to roughly shoulder length. This was the length that Wenxiu Lord felt was most suitable for him. His hair was slightly curled and tied behind his back, which enhanced his gloomy and serious temperament and made him look more bookish.

Of course, without speaking.

He had gained some flesh on his face, which made his big hooked nose look less prominent. Or maybe he had a straight nose to begin with? It was just that the boy was too skinny and malnourished, so it was particularly obvious.

The biggest change is the inner self that is not revealed by the sleeping boy and cannot be expressed by his appearance.

That is different from the overly sensitive self-esteem caused by excessive inferiority complex. It is cultivated during this period and comes from the confidence in one's own abilities.

Wenxiu Lord felt that Severus was good like this. He didn't have to go through the torture of his youth and the pain of his youth, and he could have a better future.

Sirius, Regulus, Remus... If possible, Vinciu Lord is willing to work hard to build a tower to provide those who are lost in the darkness with an alternative way to a new life.

Not to imprison them in the name of protection, but to serve as a line of defense, allowing them to fly freely.

To achieve this, one must possess absolutely powerful strength and influence, just like the scorching sun at noon and the shadow under the sun.

The scorching sun makes the shadows smaller, although it will make those shadows darker, but he will try to be the sun, and also try to be the dark side, to build an "ideal country" for everyone he loves.

Severus felt the gaze on him disappear, and with dissatisfaction he moved his hand that was originally holding the boy's collar to his waist.

Wenxiu Lord, who was trapped in a stubborn thinking circle, felt the hand on his waist. The thoughts that were bubbling in his mind suddenly cleared out and became blank. He vigilantly wanted to observe whether the boy showed any signs of waking up.

This situation didn't last long, Severus knew when to quit before Sebastian knocked on the bedroom door.

Severus reluctantly gave the boy a final tight hug, and pretended to wake up as he released his restraints on Vinciu Lord.

The breath around him suddenly disappeared, Severus opened his dark and clear eyes, and there was no one around him.

Wenxiu Lord was afraid of being discovered by Severus, so he just disappeared.

Wenxiu Lord appeared in the study room in an instant, covered his chest with his left hand, and took deep breaths to calm his rapidly beating heart. He felt that this was even more exciting than riding a roller coaster.

There was a knock on the study door at this moment, and Remus' voice came from the other side of the door, "Good morning, Wenxiu, can I come in?"

Wenxiu Lord habitually wanted to answer no, but then he remembered that he had to take people to find Sirius and Regulus today, so he changed the subject and said, "Come in."

Remus pushed open the door with a glass of milk in his hand. He saw Wenxiu Lord sitting on the sofa in disheveled clothes and handed him the milk.

"What are you doing?"

Wen Xiu Lord hadn't had time to clean himself up. Fortunately, he didn't change into pajamas before falling asleep last night, otherwise it would be more troublesome to explain. "I finished work and was too tired, so I just slept here."

He hastily straightened his clothes and messy hair, then took the milk handed to him by Remus.

It was still warm when he put it in his mouth, and it seemed that some sugar was added but not much. It was slightly sweet. If it was Wenxiu Lord who had just come here, he would definitely like it very much. But now he consumed too much energy every day, so he had to eat more sweets to replenish his energy.

Compared to his current sweet tooth, the sweetness of this cup of milk was insignificant. Wenxiu Lord picked up a few sugar cubes from the small box on the coffee table and put them into the cup of milk. He took another sip, then squinted his eyes comfortably.

"Remus, you don't have to do this."

Remus nodded and sat down next to him, picking up the tissue on the table and handing it to him.

"I know, and I want to make amends to you. I did that to you before only because you seemed to forget that I liked you, too, and that bothered me."

The tissue was handed to him at just the right time, allowing Wenxiu Lord to wipe the milk that flowed out of his mouth due to choking.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"

Remus patted his back to comfort him. "If you forget, this is the only way I can make you remember it again."

Wenxiu Lord's pupils trembled violently. He couldn't believe how the gentle Remus could say such words with a gentle smile on his face.
