WHAT  BODY  PART  ARE  YOU  ?

Heart

A heart in a cynical sense feels nothing, it simply carries through all the blood, all the oxygen, all the components the other parts that do feel need. An ugly organ, misshapen and strange when held in the palm of your hand. Yet, it is the centre of your being. It is the core. Even when you try to act unaffected, it is your heart that gives you away, skipping a beat, fluttering in excitement, halting dead in terror. You have so much of it to give, you just haven’t learned to discern who is and isn’t worthy of it yet. Hold onto it. Do not whittle it down, carve names into the flesh that you cannot erase. Remain patient, remain astute, and remain loving.

Brain

To say you have a tendency to overthink things would be an understatement of the century. It’s the only way you can function. Spending more time with your thoughts than others because they simply don’t understand. How can you make them understand? The answer is, you can’t. Some people are beyond logic and reason, but that doesn’t mean they are lost. You are the one who is more lost than they ever are, hemming and hawing over all the choices that you don’t need to. To tell you to ignore it though and to trust your instinct would be nothing short of a waste. Stay with your thoughts, but it will not give you peace of mind.

Teeth

To tear, to rip, to eat, to devour. You’ve only barked and attacked your whole life, bitten and torn at the hands that approached you, unable to tell if they were going to feed you or hurt you. Not uncommon for someone who has endured what you have. Sometimes they can turn in on yourself, biting and tearing flesh at every crevice of your being until you can find what’s underneath, to truly know who you are. But you won’t. Teeth always rot and fall out, and when that day comes, you will be weak and defenceless, muzzled and useless. So while you can, look to the cameras and give us a big smile.

❝ i can stay awake all night ,  if need be . ❞ // @hcmlock​ , Angela Ziegler

“Don’t.”

“Angela--- Please.”

Only one of them needs to suffer tonight. No one told Severus to drink themself stupid but Severus themself. Letting a man dictate their night and how it should end. The next time they share an ER with that fool, Severus will exemplify just why exactly they are referred to as the Ice Queen of the ER. 

They called it. Why sit through unnecessary tests when it was clear as day that child’s kidney was the source of his pain? Clear evidence of guarding and yet they refused to take him upstairs for something that could be resolved with fluids. Severus could take every surgeon in that goddamn hospital and drag them through glass and back. How dare he tell them how to run their ER.

They scowled, working themself up once more even in the safety of their tub. Naked as the day they were born in a warm bath and bubbles. All they are missing is another glass of wine and a charcuterie. 

Pinching the bridge of their nose, Severus reassured her groggily, “I’ll be fine. Thank you for seeing me to my home safely.”

And to make matters worse, when push came to shove and they forcibly brought the child to the surgical floor and demanded a room --- they’ll operate their goddamn self ; none of these skills forgotten --- he stood behind the head of the surgical division, claiming Severus never once called for a consultation. 

The audacity. 

“What’s the sentence for murder again?” they asked, tilting their head back to regard their dear friend perched delicately on top their toilet  with a glass of wine of her own. No doubt helping herself to the quaint collection Severus coveted for themself. 

They scowled, sighing heavily and pinching the bridge of their nose, “I could always frame him for malpractice.”

Guilt should ebb at the back of their mind but it doesn’t. The Potters’ summer home is empty save for two. Sirius and Severus are left behind to their own devices. A deadly duo in the wake of a budding friendship, no sharp teeth to be seen for a while now. James and Lily went off to do God knows what, the Potters have decided to treat themselves this afternoon and Remus has gone into town to pick up Severus’ medication as an act of love and affection.

What does it say about them?

That they could dance freely in the open diner room without a second thought with Sirius Black after all that has been said and done. Never mind the bumps and bruises marring this blossoming friendship. Remus would surely understand. This is nothing more than Severus and Sirius coming to terms with the other’s existence in the form of a dance and shared secrets, their origins more similar than one would have thought.

Never would they have thought that they could be like this. A week spent trapped together and more have been discovered and undone here than the years they have known one another. Encouraged as Severus was to dawn the black dress Sirius insisted they purchase, now that the house was empty and Fleamont was not around to pass judgment. Scandalized as James’ father was by Severus’ mere existence. 

Plain and lanky as they were, so are their choice of clothing. A simple black wrap held together by a bow neatly tied with Sirius’ assistance. Whisked away by a few well placed words and never would Severus thought that they would be one of those girls, charmed for once over annoyed by every little thing Sirius has to say.

Well goaded into a dance, something old and whimsical drowned their laughter. The sun beamed down on them, peering through windows wide and tall. The place alit with its radiant warmth, highlighting the glow of this surreal moment. 

With his arm raised, Severus’ hand in his, they twirled as prompted. Smitten with the sway of the dress, and the euphoria blessed with this moment of acceptance of their identity and choices.

The least likeliest person Severus’ greatest supporter and the most accepting, and understanding.

Deep pools of ink, shimmering with joy rarely seen are taken by this moment. Both arms hooked loosely around Sirius’ shoulders, swaying back and forth as they peered up into pure starlight.

They should feel guilt for the beat in their chest... But they don’t.

What does that say about them?
