Harry awoke the next morning, he looked at his sleeping lover and sighed. He pulled Severus closer to him, and started to kiss his neck, his cheek, then lastly his lips. Severus started to wake up, he looked into Harry's eyes. For the first in a while, Harry saw Severus smile.

"Good morning." Severus said groggily.

"Morning." Harry said resting his arms around Severus's waist.

"You best be careful, your hands seem to like to wonder."
Harry smirked. "Yeah... Why do you have to choose today to complain?" And as if to prove a point, Harry moved his hands down. "Ohh... Seems someone has an issue so early?"

Severus...still in his age had the descentecy to blush. "Either take care of it, or don't start anything."

Harry pulled Severus's shoulder, making it so Severus was on his back. "Are you telling me what to do?" As he spoke, he moved on to straddling Severus.

Severus shivered, "Yes. Now will you please get off of me?"

Harry's look turned stern, "Please, you said. Good... I would have thought you forgot your manners.

Severus almost glared, but he knew the rules. He loved these games, and he knew Harry did too. "Sir, can you get off of me, please?"

Harry smirked, "There you go. I'll make you a deal, okay?"

Severus groaned at Harry's sweet tone of voice. He knew that nothing well ever came of it. "Deal?"

"I think for you forgetting your place this morning, you need to be punished. What do you think?"

Severus bit his bottom lip, and whimpered at Harry's stern look. "I think... I think you're right."

"Good. I'll be very generous..." Harry looked at Severus, awaiting a response.

Severus knew what he was supposed to say, but he... "Thank you, sir."

Harry almost smiled, "Severus are you alright?"

Severus gave Harry a confused look, "Yes, I'm fine."

"Are you sure? You don't seem into this like you are usually... I don't want to force you into anything..."
"I'm fine. I don't feel too well this morning."

Harry looked at the fact he was on Severus, and got off. "Why didn't you say so? You know this is for you too..."

Severus rolled his eyes, and he saw Harry fight a comment back. "Doesn't matter. I'm no longer in the mood for anything."

Harry watched as Severus got up, and went into the bathroom. Harry sighed, what am I doing wrong?

Severus sat in the library again, but he couldn't pay attention to his book. He watched at the fire dance, and he let a sigh. Harry had left again, earlier that morning. Severus really hated it when he would disappear, without even saying where he was going. No, Harry isn't a child anymore. But still.

Severus looked at his book, and the words seemed a whole new language on the page. The longer he starred at them, they started to blur. Severus blinked, and finally stood up. He walked into the sitting room, seeing James and Edward sitting on the couch. Edward had a blanket around him, lying down on James's lap, while the TV went on. Harry had wanted the TV in the house, even though Harry-himself, rarely ever used it.

Severus was about to turn around and walk away, but James called him back. "Mum!"

Severus turned back, but only raised an eyebrow in response.

"Do you know where dad went?"

"Do you think I know? Your dad likes to disappear without telling anyone."

James looked down at Edward, and then back to Severus, "Are you guys fighting?"

"Not that I know of." Severus drawled, showing he didn't want to have this conversation.

"You guys were yelling a lot yesterday... Then dad left... So I was just making sure."

Severus saw the worry that held in James's eyes, "We're fine. We have our disagreements, as I'm sure you two have as well."

James shrugged, "But no-one's leaving... right?"

Ohh... He's worried about me leaving again... Damnit all. Severus had a half smile, when he spoke. "No. No one is leaving."

James smiled too, "Well other than dad. He's the one who keep disappearing."

Severus nodded, and headed back to his rooms. As he did so, he thought about what James said. 'Well other than dad. He's the one who keep disappearing.' Severus couldn't help but wonder... Where is he going? Why does he keep leaving? He couldn't be...cheating could he? Severus sat on the bed, and the more he thought the more he convinced himself. Harry's...cheating.

That night the Potters plus Edward sat at the table eating, Severus was more quiet than usual. Harry noticed, and asked if he was alright.

"I'm fine. Just not feeling well."

"Still? Well... maybe we should talk to madam Profery about it."

Severus took note on the 'we' in that sentence.

"Mum is something bothering you?" James' worried look bad Severus feel worse. Edward looked at him as well, but more curiously.

"Nothing is bothering me. I'm fine."

Harry tapped James's leg with his foot, to get James's attention. James looked at his dad, and Harry shook his head. James dropped the topic, and tried to bring up a new one. "Sooooo you guys are getting married... in only a few days."

Harry smiled, "Yes we are." Harry looked over at Severus, who didn't even look up from his plate. Harry's smile vanished, "Sev, can you help me in the kitchen?"

Severus wasn't stupid; he knew Harry was just going to question his silence in a more privet area. But he nodded that he would anyway, so they both stood up and went into the kitchen. "Sev, are you alright?"

"I already told you, I'm not feeling well."

Harry tired his best not to groan from annoyance, "But that's not what's wrong. Are you upset about something?"

Severus scuffed, "Like you care."

Harry was taken back by that, "What do you mean I don't care?"

Severus rolled his eyes, guess they really were going to call off the wedding. "I know why you're leaving all the time now."

Harry raised his eyebrows, "Okay? Is that why you're upset?"

Is that why? Yes damnit, that's why! "Are you saying I don't have a right to be?" Severus couldn't help but yell.

Harry jumped slightly at the yelling, "You can't control that Severus. If I want to go see him, you can't get upset with me."

Severus glared, "Fine. You're right. Fuck this, I'm done." Severus sent the ring on the counter and went upstairs.

Harry watched this happen with deep confusion and tears in his eyes.

Harry stayed in the living that night. He didn't want to see Severus, and he was sure Severus didn't want to see him. Harry laid down, he tried to sleep, but he just couldn't. His eyes were still fresh full of tears. He was glad that James and Edward were already asleep.

He finally got up; he held the ring in his pocket. He loved Severus more the world, he finally decided that he would stop. He walked up the stairs and into the bedroom; Severus was still awake and reading in bed. Harry sat down on the opposite side of the bed, "Sev... Please don't do this." Harry tried to keep his tears from falling, "I'll stop going there. I...will."

Severus looked up at him, "I don't believe you."

Harry starred at him, "You don't like that I leave and not tell you where I am. I'll tell you from now on, and you check if I'm there or not..."

Severus continued to stare at him silently, and then he nodded. "What did you do...while you saw him?"

Harry sniffed, and gave Severus a funny look. "I talked... I sometimes got mad and I yelled. It was stupid...but yeah I did."

"That's it?"

Harry nodded, "What else can I do there?"

Severus was about to answer, but he shook his head. "Never mind. Come to bed now."

Harry smiled and got ready for bed, he laid down curling up to Severus. "Sev?"

"Mmh?"

"Why don't you want me going there anymore? I understand he hurt you... But he means a lot you me. They both do."

"Both?"

"I mean my mum too."

Severus paled. "Your...your mum?"

Harry looked up to Severus, "Just because I talk more about my dad doesn't mean I don't miss her too."

Severus felt sick; he had just told Harry to stop visiting his parents' graves... He was going to stop too. Ohh... God. "Harry...you were visiting you parents graves?"

Harry nodded slowly, "I thought you knew that... You said you knew."

"I... Oh damnit." Severus pulled Harry closer. "You don't have to stop visiting them for me. I thought... I'm sorry Harry."

Harry was really confused, but he didn't want to question and start another fight. So he just smiled, "Thank you." and he soon fell asleep on Severus's chest.
