100quillsA/N: Just something little, i mean honestly, me? write something longer than three hundred words? You must be barking mad!
Why was a New York minute shorter than everyone else’s? Why in some places did a minute last for hours and hours for weeks?
As Teddy watched James Potter beam at his friend-turned-lover, never had the envy been so great, never had time passed so slowly. The very second suppressed the hours, suppressing even the weeks upon weeks, drifting, forever more, into the waste less years.
Yet even as the tears fell Teddy continued to smile.
Best-man, best friend, best anything Teddy had been them all.
Best-man, as he watched the love of his life bind himself to another woman.
Best friend, when all his heart screamed was for more.
Teddy still smiled as the tears continued to fall. Only later would he drown himself in a bottle, only after the wedding would he finally submerge into grief. Only after the final toast had been made would he seal himself into silence.
Best-man, best friend, best anything, he’d be the best of them all.
