A ficlet written for the Dolohoes: Antonin Dolohov Supremacy Facebook group for their Very Villainous Valentine fest.
The prompt was ‘Together’
‘Together.’
That was not a word Pansy usually associated with herself unless it was to describe the way a black pair of dress pants worked together with her emerald green heels, or the way her favourite red wine went together with a really good Brie.
But here she was, staring up into the blue eyes of a man who presumed hopefully this word could be used to categorise the two of them.
“Well?” he encouraged, raising a well formed eyebrow.
“Well…” Pansy took a careful breath and smiled. “I think that sounds wonderful.”
Antonin slid his arms around her waist and pulled her into an embrace.
“Happy Valentine’s Day Moy Tsvetok,” he murmured into her hair before capturing her lips in a lingering kiss.
Pansy sighed and twisted her fingers through the thick, molasses coloured curls at the base of his neck.
Her decision now spoken out loud and confirmed with the sparking jewel resting on her finger determinedly banished the word ‘alone’ that had been her companion for so long.
A fic inspired by a scene from the AppleTvPlus series Echo 3 starring Michiel Huisman. Also inspired by a conversation on the Facebook group Dolohoes:Antonin Dolohov Supremacy.
