"Because what I want to do is wrong... and I don't trust myself enough to be seen with you in the public eye." His voice dropped to a whisper as he took a step away from me. I smiled, g...

"Severus,
It's nice to hear from you. I'm doing fine. How's the new promotion coming along? Everything you expected?"
Not even ten minutes later, I saw ink forming on the paper as the small ring on my finger began to glow an intense gold.
"It's going great actually... but I was wondering if I could ask you something?" My heart picked up pace as I read his message.
"Of course." My hand shook as I wrote.
"Why haven't you taken off your ring?" I thought for a moment? Why haven't I taken it off? I decided to answer honestly.
"I guess I forgot I was wearing it to be honest. I just kind of got used to it. What about you?" I asked.
"It's a nice reminder of you." A tight smile came to my lips. This felt weird talking to Severus again. It almost felt wrong in a way, I couldn't tell why. I didn't know what to reply back, so I didn't write anything for a few minutes. Instead I just sat there, running my fingers through my hair, wishing I could talk to Draco. Just wanting some kind of distraction away from this whole ordeal.
"Somethings wrong. Are you okay?" I read as the ink bleed through the pages.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I can just tell something bothering you. Is your healer training working out the way you wanted it to?"
"Yeah, it's just as amazing as I expected it to be." I answered.
"What about living with Draco?" Severus asked.
"It's alright."
"There it is. What's going on? You can talk to me (Y/n). We can still be friends you know. You can always talk to me about anything." This felt weird. Looking at Severus like he was my friend. Was he ever my friend? I don't think I ever once confided in him before. Looking back, it feels like our relationship was purely based on attraction. Perhaps it was a good thing it didn't work out the way we hoped it would.
"I don't know Severus. It feels too weird."
"Please. It's the least I can do." He wrote as I bit my nail for a moment.
"Okay. Well, It's just Draco has been acting differently towards me lately. He doesn't want to hang out with me anymore. And I don't understand because he's my bestfriend and he used to want to be around me all the time. I don't know, I'm starting to think about moving out." I sat for a while waiting for Severus to write back to me. We already have been writing each other for a few hours.
"Well, do you remember when he started acting differently towards you?" I thought back for a moment. Draco started acting differently that day he tried to kiss me. I feel like he has been avoiding me ever since.
