@microficmay Day 27: Hopeful + Alt 1: Hesitate

Remus is sitting on our ugly orange sofa, scrolling through his phone. His eyes crinkle as he chuckles at something funny and my heart threatens to beat out of my chest.

"Moony, my love," I say, laying my head in his lap.

He simply hums running his fingers through my hair.

"Do you know where I want to kiss you?" I ask sitting up.

He rolls his eyes. "My lips."

"No"

"Cheeks."

"No."

"Neck," he says, tilting his head seductively.

"Nope."

"Then where?" he demands, exasperated.

"At our wedding, in front of our families and friends." I get down on one knee.

There's pin drop silence and my hopefulness turns to hesitance when soft lips crash into mine.

"Oh my God, yes!"

@microficmay Day 25: Pain and Pleasure + Alt 4: Open the door

"Lucius!!! Wait! Those boots!" She gasps, staring at a pair of stunning black thigh high, boots with a killer 6 inch heel. Dumping all her bags in her date's arms, she waltzes into the store.

By the time Lucius gathers his wits and opens the store door, she's already tried on the pair and is posing in front of a full length mirror.

"Put it on Daddy's card. Bella's going to be so jealous."

The shoes aren't practical. They look painful and Lucius is fascinated and horrified by the pointed heel as Cissy twirls and struts around the shop.

His opinions, of course, are dismissed between cries of "Practical? Eww." And "No pain, no gain, baby."

~

Cissy looks like a vision at the party. Bella and many other girls are definitely jealous, but by the end of the evening her feet are killing her.

"Luci, please," she pouts, wanting to be carried.

He suppresses the urge to say I told you so, scooping her into his arms. The things he does for love.

@microficmay Day 29: Saturninity + Alt 2: Crisp

Neville is responsible for bringing them back into each other's lives- College sweethearts who'd drifted away.

And yet, Neville can't understand why he feels so saturnine. He's done the right thing, afterall.

He's out on the bench, breathing in the crisp evening air, fiddling with his cuffs, trying to clear his mind when he hears cheers and fireworks go off. Must be midnight. Gran always said, 'A wish made at midnight always comes true.' He closes his eyes and wishes. Warm breath ghosts his cheeks. Soft lips press into them. His eyes flutter open to find Harry and Draco flanking him, with identical soft smiles

[mkaugust]

Tuning out the heartbeat symphony of remembering decadent, irresistible secrets, hesitantly promised progress, radiant invincibility balanced with lost expectations, ferociously found serenity, surviving the pain and pleasure in turns as they wax and wane like fire chased by ice, re-ignited; Remus hopefully opens the door before wandering into his epilogue.
