As much as William would love to bask in the feel of watching his beloved sleep and let his hands careless her soft skin and listen to her steady heartbeat, he would skip it for just tonight.
So the moment he laid her on the bed and tucked her in until she was comfortable he walked out of their chambers, Severus was already waiting for him with a lamp.
He bowed the moment he set his eyes on his master coming out of the chambers. William spared no words as he walked ahead and Severus followed behind, they walked their way to the library but still went deeper, passing through the trillions of shelves, but for them, it was nothing but a sport. Until they got to a large door, bigger than any in this castle, and reached the very ceiling of the hall.
William stood before the door, his crystal gaze fixated on it before he closed his eyes and the sound of his ever slow beating heart echoed in the hall, before picking up in pace unnaturally.
