Chapter 7
Deep Conversations (Or Pillow Talk)
Severus
Severus leaned against the headboard of the makeshift bed, rearranging his arm under Harry's relaxed form.
"When are they coming back?" he asked and Potter let out a small yawn before answering.
"This afternoon", he said quietly and Severus could feel the puffs of air against his chest as he spoke.
Outside it had grown dark hours ago, and now the sun was starting to rise again, spreading a pale light through the attic room.
Harry sat up and Severus watched his muscles move under his skin when he stretched.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked, throwing himself back against Severus' chest.
"Yes", Severus said, because he actually had slept well. That was unusual.
"Me too", he said and grinned back at him. "I liked the 'not sleeping' too."
Severus had as well. The sounds Harry had made!
"I'm going to have to leave soon", he said and Harry gave a disappointed noise.
"Have time for another go?" he asked, his voice sounding like he was half joking.
"Always", Severus answered and was rewarded with a kiss.
Harry pulled away and looked at him. "Hey, your eyes are brown, not black."
Severus couldn't help but smile at that. "Really?"
"Well, a very dark brown", he said and placed a sloppy kiss to his jaw, then tilting his head to the right and said with sarcasm, "You seem so interested when I talk."
"Well, eye colour isn't exactly my favourite subject."
Harry gave an amused snort. "Fine. What do you want to talk about?"
They didn't have to talk. Just lying there was fine.
"I don't know", he said.
He was quiet for a while and then he said, "Do you like women too, or is it just men?"
"Just men", he said. "Always has been."
He'd had some awkward encounters with women, but they hadn't ended well.
"Why do you ask?" he said, letting his fingers move over that wonderfully smooth skin. He was so young, so perfect, so... flawless.
"Dunno", Harry mumbled, probably close to falling back to sleep.
"What about you?" he asked.
"Well..." he hesitated. "I'm not sure."
Of course he wasn't sure, he was a teenager. That time was for experimenting, someone had told him, some time.
"I can't think of you with a woman", he said, and it was true. God, he seemed to be telling the truth an awful lot lately.
"Why not?" Harry turned around on his stomach, looking up at him.
"You're..." he hesitated. "Maybe you're too... effeminate for that."
"What?" he spluttered.
"Maybe", Severus said and Harry laughed. "I mean I have a hard time seeing you as the... dominant party."
"So I have to be masculine to be dominant?" he asked and Severus made a face.
"I..."
"You've got yourself in some deep shit now", he said and Severus agreed. "So when a man and a woman have sex, the man is the only one that can be dominant?"
"Well, no. But isn't it... Easier for the man?" he asked and thanked his luck when Harry didn't seem to take offence.
"Do you mean because he's the one who...?" Severus nodded. "So you're saying the one who tops is automatically the dominant one?"
"I don't know what I'm saying..." Severus mumbled.
"But how about oral then?" he asked and Severus closed his eyes.
"I regretted I ever said anything."
"No, seriously", he said and rested his chin on Severus' chest. "That's kind of messed up. The fact that you think that. You've never bottomed, have you?"
He drawled the sentences out like he was talking about what to have for breakfast.
"Why does that matter?" he asked and Harry smirked.
"Well, you wouldn't think that if you had bottomed. I mean, you do have some power as the bottom. Anyway, if the sex is any decent you should", he said, his jaw moving against Severus as he talked. "When I bottom, I choose to... You know, give that to the other guy. My choice, I have the power."
Potter grinned. "And trust me, women always find ways to be dominant."
"When you put it like that, yes", Severus said, swallowing.
"See, when you sucked me off earlier", Harry said with a satisfied smirk. "You were sort of in charge, don't you think?"
"I get it", he answered and put his hands up, "I get it."
"Yeah", he said, kissing the spot where his chin had been. "I'm right."
"Yes, you are", Severus said, as Harry leaned back against him.
"So have you? Bottomed, I mean?" he said and Severus nodded.
"Once or twice. Not very good experiences", Severus said. They hadn't been.
"I'm sorry. And have you never had sex with a woman?"
"Never. I was close a few times, when I was younger, but no", he said. He couldn't even remember the names of those few girls he'd made clumsy come on's to. They had been Hufflepuffs, he remembered, because he'd thought that they would be more welcoming and nice if he didn't get it right at first. They were. But he had still never seemed to get the hang of women.
"You have, I'm guessing?" he continued and Potter shrugged.
"Yeah. I just don't see why I have to choose between the two", he said seriously.
"So you consider yourself bisexual?" he asked and Harry laughed.
"I don't consider myself anything. Why do I have do be anything? Can't I just enjoy, you know, sex?"
"So you're just as attracted to women as you are to men?" Severus asked, and he was actually interested.
"Yeah. Depends what I'm in the mood for", he said and smirked.
"What are you in the mood for now then?" Severus asked and Harry's smirk turned into a big, dirty grin.
"Well..."

"You don't have to leave yet", Harry said quietly from his place on the bed.
"Yes, I do", Severus answered. It was midday, almost afternoon, and he did not want to risk bumping into Lily or the Potter senior.
"No, you don't", he said, his hand sneaking around Severus' waist.
"Yes, I do", he repeated with a chuckle.
Harry stood up, hugging him from behind. "No", he whined. "Stay a bit longer."
"I have work", he said, but didn't move away from the warm body behind him. "Harry, I really have to go now."
"All right, then", he said, sounding irritated. "All right. Leave me here then."
Severus smiled. "Yes. I'll be big and bad and leave you all alone."
"So you do understand." His voice was right next to Severus' ear, which made it all that much harder to take a step away from him.
"Bye", he said, letting his eyes roam over the other's naked body, the smooth and tanned skin, the green eyes and the dark, unruly hair.
He brought a hand up to Harry's cheek, and the boy's smile faded.
"When my place is fixed up, would you wanna come over?"
Severus doubted that Harry would want him to come over when his apartment had been mended, but he nodded anyway. Severus suspected that his appeal would be gone when Harry was out of his parents' house, out from under their supervision. This whole thing had been a natural reaction, he had had an affair with Severus just to try to, maybe unconsciously, offend his parents. Severus was fine with that, he couldn't really expect more. Why else would this - fucking perfect - creature screw around with him?
Well, maybe if he had some sort of confidence issue, but that didn't seem to be the case.
"I'll see you around, then?" Harry asked, making Severus smile.
"Yes. See you around."
A/N: Hi again. Liked it? Review? (I don't care if I'm a review whore. I want them. I need them. Giiive them to me…!)
I think I have a problem.
