After a heated argument with your lover, they ended up admitting that they only ever dated you to prove to their friends that they could get anyone they could. You were only just a set up.

It broke your heart at their revelation and you didn't wish to see them, not anymore at least. Gods, how could've you been so blind to their antics this whole time? Probably because you were in love. Anything they did just made you fall even more, not knowing that they were making a complete fool out of you.

Days passed and you weren't feeling any better, the weeks just felt like they went by slower and the hours were just tantalizing reminders of how you could've spent them with your ex. You missed them..but it was for the best.

Severus had taken notice of your behavior recently and how it only seem to worsen, given that he didn't appreciate you around him–or anyone for that matter–for some reason he felt this annoying sensation of pain for you. No one deserved to be treated like that. Especially not someone as..precious as you.

Severus didn't want to seem vulnerable or seem like he cared–he most definitely didn't–yet..he actually did care..this once.

He saw how you'd bottle up your feelings and hide them away, he wanted to hold you. You were like delicate glass and he wanted you to shatter in his arms whilst he soothed your cries and your deteriorating feelings.

He wanted to mend your broken heart.
