Chapter 2
After a couple days, and having been healed completely, Severus went to his chambers to rest. No sooner had he sat down in front of his fireplace, a timid knock sounded. Getting up he went over to the door.
"Hello?" He called through the wood.
"Um. Hi. It's me, Harry." Harry's voice called shyly from the other side. Sighing in relief, Severus opened the door and let the younger man in.
"Is there something I can help you with?" Severus inquired, taking in his new friend's appearance. Harry looked nervous, and a bit antsy.
"Well actually, I was just wondering if, eh, if, maybe possibly, we could, uh. Oh bugger, I'm really terrible at this." Harry mumbled. Severus was perplexed at what Harry was talking about.
"Harry, speak." Severus slightly commanded.
"I've always really liked you and especially after the past week of really getting to know you, I've found that I've grown rather attached to you. So while I know its a shot in a million, but I was wondering in maybe we could go out sometime. And if I'm just being my usual stupid self then-" Harry's rambling was cut off with a kiss placed firmly over his mouth. Severus had been stunned by Harry's confession, So he did the only thing he could think of to properly respond. And as Harry got over the shock of the stoic man kissing him, and started kissing back with all of his being, Severus knew he had done the right thing. Separating only once they needed air, the two looked at each other, taking a moment to fully process the situation.
"Really?" Harry whispered.
"Of course." Severus whispered back, tightening his arms around the young man.
Never in a million years had Harry thought that Severus would actually allow him to get that close to him, it was a dream come true. Severus had similar thoughts running through his mind, after what he had done he never thought Harry would want anything to do with him, let alone return his affections. This was certainly a wonderful surprise for both of them.
