Rating: G
Word Count: 349
Author's Note: All characters belong to JKR but most of the characterisations came from the extraordinary members of lumos_founders. Unfortunately Suresh was born from the craziness that was my brain, however. // Requested by aspenwing in lumos_founders
Summary: Suresh is waiting for the squishy bit of his heart.
Suresh leaned back on the bench as he inspected the silver ring on his middle finger. It had a serpent on it, much like his father’s locket and was studded with precious stones that made up the beady staring eyes. He yawned and checked his watch. Watches and clocks were funny things, he had decided, but they were rather annoying with their incessant ticking in the middle of the night. One had had the misfortune of ending up on the receiving end of a rather angry blasting curse and, consequently, it was no longer recognisable as a clock.
Today was not a clock blasting day, however, and he wasn’t checking his watch to see his life tick away one minute at a time. It was a multi-coloured day; a day for bright colours that changed depending on their mood. Of course, said colours weren’t as important as the person they were attached to. Nor were they as important as the never ceasing smiles and interest said person brought with them.
Suresh had always found that Tonks kept a small part of his heart soft where the rest of it was cold and hard. He knew he wasn’t the most pleasant of people to be around, and he knew he wasn’t the most likeable, but Tonks seemed attached to him and he could get rid of her. He also knew he didn’t want to get rid of her. She was something he wanted to keep hold of and by Merlin he was going to keep hold of her.
The idea of keeping hold of her when a millennium separated them in real time was rather unrealistic but he’d manage it. Perhaps the time mix up would last longer than Hogwarts but then he’d lose Sevastian. It was a choice between the only two things he loved outside of the annoying guilt that made him secretly adore his sister and one he didn’t think he could make. Choices were easy when your heart was cold. Things were black and white. There was no grey area for emotions to cloud your judgement.
