A/N: First Snarry ever written, be nice please! R&R? Sev and Harry share an interlude in the life of lovers.
It was times like this that Harry enjoyed most, watching his lover sleep peacefully. Severus had the habit of curling in on himself, and he was doing so now. Harry gently stroked Severus' bangs out of his face and tucked them behind the shell of his ear, a soft, adoring smile alighting on his lips.
Severus stirred slightly and murmured Harry's name before falling into a deeper sleep, eyelashes falling like a fine, dark mist on his high, pale cheeks. Harry's smile brightened and he wrapped an arm around the older man's waist. The twenty year old had fallen in love with the Potions Master shortly after killing Voldemort in the Shrieking Shack when he'd rushed in to save Severus.
It had taken Harry nearly three years to get Severus even let him touch him, and it had been a long process of healing and assurance on both of theirs behalf. Their first kiss had been awkward and short, with Harry's glasses getting in the way and Severus' nose crushing against Harry's cheek.
Severus sighed in his sleep as Harry settled down beside him. It had been a shock to learn that Severus preferred being a bottom, but Harry was glad enough to become accustomed to regularly pounding Severus through the mattress.
The older man was nearly forty now, and he was discussing plans about retiring to the States, seeing as he was a war hero and had more than enough money. Harry strongly opposed the idea because he wanted to stay on as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
It didn't matter though, in moments like these. With Severus snuggled up against Harry's chest, breathing deeply. With a smile, Harry gently kissed Severus on the forehead. Snape moved beneath his touch, eyes opening.
"Hey." Harry whispered.
Severus' lips quirked upwards and he pulled his younger counterpart down for a kiss. Their tongues met in the sensual dance known only to lovers, and when they broke apart, both were breathless.
Harry could feel Severus' bony hips jutting against his own as he nestled up against the Potions Master, who yawned into his ear. "Sev?"
"Mmm?" Severus hummed sleepily.
"I love you, Severus Snape." Harry murmured.
"I love you too, Harry Potter." Severus replied softly, onyx eyes falling shut as he drifted off to sleep in his lover's arms.
