Death - October 9 - word count: 456 - @wolfstarmicrofic (MCD)

Sirius sat beside the werewolf’s prone body, his fingers laced tightly with Remus’s cold ones, as if holding on could stop what was coming. 

He had never felt so powerless.

Remus's breathing was shallow, each rise of his chest a slow, labored effort. His body, frail and worn down, had been fighting for so long- years of transformations, years of pain. 

His disease had finally caught up. The toll of the full moons, of the constant strain on his body, had proven too much.

And now? Now, all Sirius could do was watch.

Remus was slipping away.

Sirius clenched his jaw, his throat tight. “Moony… stay with me,” he whispered, voice shaking. “Please.”

Remus’s eyelids fluttered, his once chocolate-brown eyes dull and heavy with exhaustion as they met Sirius’s. 

“You know I can’t,” the younger man murmured, his voice raspy and thin, barely audible.

The dog animagus shook his head, his grip tightening around Remus’s hand. “You can. You have to. We- we’re supposed to have more time. We’re supposed to grow old and—”

Remus gave a weak chuckle, cutting him off. “Old?” His voice was soft, weak. “We never really were destined for that, were we?”

Sirius bit his lip hard, the metallic taste of blood filling his mouth. “I don’t care. I wanted it with you.”

Remus’s eyes closed again, his chest barely moving with each breath. The noiret leaned closer, pressing his forehead against the other’s clammy skin, tears falling freely. 

“I can’t do this without you,” the gray-eyed man whispered, his voice raw, desperate.

“You’re stronger than you think,” Remus replied softly, his voice growing fainter with each word.

Sirius let out a strangled sob, burying his face in Remus’s neck. “Not without you,” he choked. “I’m not strong enough without you.”

Remus’s breath hitched, his grip on Sirius’s hand loosening. “You… were always strong. I… never told you enough,” the dirty blonde whispered, his words disjointed, fading. “But you were always the best thing…”

Sirius shook his head, pressing his face against Remus’s hand. “No, Moony. You… you were. You always were.”

The room was too quiet now. Sirius’s own breathing sounded too loud, too harsh in the stillness. 

Remus’s breaths had slowed, each one weaker than the last. 

And then… nothing.

Sirius’s heart stopped as the silence stretched on, suffocating and cruel. He waited, desperate for the rise of Remus’s chest, for any sign of life. But there was nothing. 

Just stillness.

Sirius’s hands trembled as he cradled Remus’s limp body in his arms. 

“I love you,” he whispered, his voice shaking. “I love you so much.”

But there was no reply. No gentle teasing, no quiet reassurance. Just the silence. Just Remus, gone with Death.

And Sirius, left behind.
