Chapter 2
The next day Severus was in a awkward mood, he woke up normally but something has changed, he didn't know how to explain it but something was missing.
He took a short shower brushing his teeth at the same time, then he brushed his long black hair, he didn't want to cut them because the feeling of them brushing against his neck and shoulders makes him feel comfortable and also it helps when it's cold outside.
Then he realized that his casual perfume bottle was empty, it was upsetting him, this perfume sent helped him to calm down and without it he'll feel like being naked and exposed in front of everyone.
After that he choose and put on his outfit wearing a big oversized dark green wool sweater with black mom jeans and his Dr.Martens shoes that Lily had offered him for Christmas, and on top of that a big padded denim jacket that had a brown collar and was too big for him.
He took his bag and left his little apartment.

He was walking in the cold before arriving to his university, but before he had the time to remove his jacket from his shoulders in the warm hallway a panicked girl was heading toward him in a hurry.
"Sev-"
"Your phone is okay Lily, one of your classmate texted me yesterday to inform me that your beloved was in good hands"
"OH THANKS" she said loudly, then Severus started to head to his first class with Lily by his side.
"Do you know Lucius? Lucius Malfoy" he said walking.
"Uh... I don't know "
"White hai-"
"Oh yes Blondie, yeah yeah"
"He's the one who have your baby"
"Okay nice ... Severus?"
"Yeah?"
"Tell me if I'm wrong but... You don't wear any perfume today, that's weird-"
But then when she was barely finishing her sentence Severus steps speed up, Lily knew it means that he was upset and he was doing that to not being angry against her.
She knew Severus by heart now so she was able to see if something has changed, even if it was a small detail.
Severus wasn't a big speaker but when you knew him you didn't have to hear him to know what he was feeling, his body language was very strong and Lily had learn to read between the lines, that's why she was her best friend after all.
So she headed to her own class.
When she arrived she immediately walked to the white haired man, he was wearing a long sleeved black shirt that was tucked in his black jeans and some fancy black boots.
" Hey! Uh.. Lucius?" She said.
"Oh hi, Evans isn't it? I got your phone" he said searching in his backpack.
"Yeah, Severus informed me, thanks I think I couldn't survive without this"
"It's nothing don't worry, but I think you should put a password in it for the safety, not everyone is honest and impressively kind like me you know" he said chuckling, passing her her phone.
"Yeah I definitely will, if I can do anything to thank you tell me"
"Well.. can I have the IG of your friend Severus?" He said after thinking.
"Uh yeah sure but why?"
"I've talked to him last night, and I don't know, he seems interesting"
"Ok, I don't know if he'll accept you, but yeah wait" she said taking a piece of paper and a pencil writing '@TheHalfBlood.Prince' and then gave it to him.
"Thank you Evans" he said putting the piece of paper in his wallet.

Severus was in class, he didn't know if this day was a normal day or just the worst day of the year, he had discovered the next play that they were going to work on, it was Cyrano de Bergerac.
Severus really loved this play but... The problem is that he knew like everyone that he was going to play Cyrano just because of his nose, one of his biggest complex.
After that during the break he was outside with a cigarette, usually Lily was smoking with him but today wasn't the day.
He was checking is phone and sew that he had a following request on Instagram, thinking that it was another fake account or something he opened the app with no particular expectations.
And then he saw the name of this account '@Lucius.Mlfy'.
Severus was hesitating so all he do was stalking Lucius's account viewing some pictures of him.
He wasn't ugly, quite beautiful thought Severus.
He quit the app thinking that he'll see what to do when he will be at home.
