Here's the next chapter of this story. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling and (sadly) not me.
Severus groaned as he felt a sharp pain in his lower region and it wasn't until he felt a pale cold hand spoon his back when he realized why. Last night, he had actually had sex with Lord Voldemort himself. Shocking wasn't it? The world's most powerful wizard had actually slept with him, Severus Snape. It was unbelievable even though he had witnessed it himself! The man was holding him against his chest and muttering something that Severus had no idea what he was saying.
What turned into him finally gaining his death mark, turned into them having a "small" chat, which ended in them in bed. How? He wasn't even sure. Maybe the wine had some influence on what happened the previous night. Either way, he wondered what would happen next. Would this lead to anything? The young man couldn't help but to think about this important thought. After all, last time alcohol had come into play, he got knocked up.
"Are you awake Severus?" Voldemort's voice surprised him.
"Yes my lord." Severus said, not bothering to turn around.
"Look at me, Severus." the dark wizard said softly.
The young man took a deep breath and faced the wizard's snake-like eyes. Voldemort then began to stroke his cheek and stared into his eyes. "Does it still pain you?"
Not sure what he was referring to, he answered, "A little, but not much."
"Good." he placed a soft kiss on his lips. "We're both so very dirty from last night. We should shower before we leave."
Severus nodded and followed him to the bathroom. The raven was nervous about getting into the shower with the older man, but then remembered that if he didn't, it would make him look bad. Truth be told, sleeping with the older man wasn't too bad, but he didn't want to think that a session like his one would keep going. The younger man jumped a little in surprise when Voldemort placed his head on his shoulder and wrapping his arms around his young lover's body.
"You're so tense, Severus. You can let your guard down now. I'm not going to hurt you."
"I know." Truth be told, he didn't trust him all that much…yet…even if he was his master now.
After bathing with Voldemort, Severus quickly slipped on his clothes. He was planning to meet up with Thomas now and needed to hurry off. Taking a bow, he informed the older man that he was leaving. Voldemort, who was now slipping into his robe nodded, looking a bit upset that Snape was leaving him. "Go if you must. I look forward to seeing you anytime."
Severus nodded and left. Did that mean that he wanted him to come back for more sex? Whatever it meant, he knew he'd have to come back soon. Once he had arrived home, Thomas was in the living room, talking Severus's mother.
"Severus! You're home!" Mrs. Snape looked worriedly at her son. "Is everything alright?"
"Yes. Everything is fine mother." he turned to Thomas. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yes I'm ready. It was nice talking to you."
"You too, Thomas. You two have a great time."
***2 hours later***
"So…where were you? I was worried." said Thomas was they took a walk in the park. He didn't want to pest Severus about his whereabouts earlier, but now his curiosity was about to burst.
"I was…well I was with the dark lord." he saw no use in lying. That's where he was.
"You were gone a pretty long time. I was worried…"
"…that I was sleeping with someone?" the younger man finished.
When he didn't answer, the other man sighed. Thomas was continuously getting jealous whenever Severus was with someone, no matter who it was. A lot of people seemed to be worthy of the taller man's jealous at some pointed. He had no right to act like he owned Severus or that he was his lover. Snape had told him time after time that they were just friends. Why couldn't he understand that?
"Severus, I know you don't like me poking in your business, but you remember what happened with the last guy you got sexual relationship with, he left you after finding out that he wasn't the father of your child."
Severus was dangerously quiet, which then was an indication that he shouldn't have brought up Remus or the baby. "Severus, I really sorry."
"It's okay, Thomas. I know you didn't mean to mention the baby." he responded quietly. Truth be told, he was still sore about the baby and Remus. The baby wasn't on his mind much these days unless he saw a parent playing with their child and then he would sink into a small depression from seeing it. As for Remus, he hadn't seen him since he graduated. Even then, they didn't speak as Remus was with his friends and Severus was with his, however he did try, but failed when he saw something that made his heart cringe.
FLASHBACK
Snape was at the slytherin end of the year party which was supposed to be extra special, however it wasn't. Even though he was glad that he was no longer in school, there was something bothering him about leaving. It wasn't until now was when he figured out what it was. He felt the need to apologize to Remus. Apologizing felt like the right thing to do now and maybe it would bring him some closure of some kind. He managed to slip out of the dorm room without anyone noticing him and made his way to the Gryffindor dorm, going over what he was going to say.
'Well I have to say, 'Sorry' for one thing and maybe…' he stopped as soon as he saw James. 'Potter? What the hell is he doing out here? Shouldn't he be with Lily?'
"Come on and hurry the hell up!" James hissed to someone. Snape thought that he was talking to Lily, but was surprised when he saw Remus.
"Sh, James!" Remus blushed, rubbing the back of his head. "Someone's going to see us."
"Then hurry up and get in here." James pulled the taller teen's arm.
"B-but what if someone sees us?"
"They won't. Filch's off with the teacher's and who the hell would look for us in here? Besides, the Room of Requirement is the first place Peter and Sirius'll look, so hurry up."
Still a bit hesitant, the raven rolled his eyes and pulled him in, shutting the door behind him. Severus raised a brow. Why were they hiding from their friend and why were they in a closet and so secretive? Looking around, the slytherin snuck over to the door and looked inside of the keyhole, curious. He wished he hadn't.
James had his mouth on the taller teen's neck was and was nibbling on his neck while his hand was in Remus's pants. The werewolf was blushing and moaning his friend's name in that cute little way that he missed. Severus's eyes widened and he even had to rub his eyes and look again to make sure he was seeing what he was seeing and he was. Why…when…what about Lily?! Was that all a show?! What the fuck…when…how…why…Severus's confused mind demanded an answer. Was that piece of shit cheating on Lily and was Remus with that piece of shit?
Horrified, he backed up, a little hurt and confused. Sure they weren't together anymore, back that didn't mean that it didn't hurt. Remus seemed to be enjoying himself more than when he was with the Slytherin. Sighing, he made his way back, forgetting what he was doing before until he bumped into Lily.
"Oh…hey Severus." Lily said awkwardly.
"What?" he could tell that she had a question on her mind that she was probably asking herself if she wanted to ask him or not.
"No need to act that, Snape." she glared at him.
"Then watch where you're going." he sighed. "If you're looking for your scumbag boyfriend, he's that way. Try calling his damn name."
Without thanking him, she darted off to where he pointed to. However she came back. "You do know that you're not supposed to down this way. The dungeon isn't over here."
"Mind your own damn business, Evans!" He remarked irritated. "You're not supposed to be down here either, but here you fucking are. Speaking of fucking, you must not be giving Potter what he wants because I just saw him giving it to someone else and it's not a girl."
"What do you mean by that?"
Snape merely just turned and left, deciding to let her find out by herself. He hadn't meant to had acted that way, but he was already ticked off and the main reason he didn't tell her was because she wasn't doing to believe him.
Whether Lily found out about James and Remus, he didn't know, however she did keep him by her side the whole time both on the train and dinner hall. He once he even heard James telling his friends (while Lily was talking with some friends not too far away) that Lily demanded that he never left her sight because she thought that he might be cheating on her, although she never said a word about how and why she suspected it, she obviously refused to tell him.
END FLASHBACK
Anyway, that was the last time he saw Lupin up that close, not counting the train station. Severus regretted not saying sorry, but decided that it was best to let it go.
"It's getting late. We should be heading back."
The younger male nodded, but knew he only said this was because of the awkwardness. After walking him back home, Thomas pressed a kiss on the shorter man's forehead and left. Severus went inside the house, announced his arrival to his mother, and laid down in the bed, thinking about his future.
*5 Months Later*
After a while, Snape found that being a death eater was okay, but he didn't like the fact that he was Voldemort's little play thing. Yes the man treated him with love and gentleness, refusing to deny that Severus was his favorite, but how long would it last? He hated to think about his master in a negative way, but it made him a little mad. What if he found a new lover and just tossed him aside? It hadn't happened yet, but what if he did?
He wished he had someone to talk to about this, like Remus, Thomas, or, heck, even Dumbledore. His mother would probably be shocked and horrified and probably convince him to leave and/or find a nice woman (or man) as she usually did. It seemed as if he was on his own now and he had to get used to it. He suddenly felt his dark mark burn, which meant that either Voldemort was summoning him or all death eaters (most likely the latter). Not taking a chance, he went there as soon as possible. Indeed, Voldemort only summoned him.
"Good afternoon, Severus. How are you?" the older man was standing in front of his fireplace, not at all bothering to turn around.
"I'm fine." Severus responded. "Did you want something?"
"Yes. I need you to tell me something…"
"Yes, my lord?"
"Are you comfortable with…this…with us?"
"You mean…" Severus had wanted to say, "our relationship", but didn't know if that was the correct word.
"…yes. Our relationship…"
Snape was a bit surprised, but decided to just answer his question. "I'm fine with it."
"Are you sure? Call it what you want, but I have the strangest feeling that you think I might grow tired of your company…is my hunch true?" Voldemort turned slightly.
The raven ran his fingers through his long black hair and looked away, unsure whether to say anything or not. It was true that he felt this way and feared that the dark wizard was going to leave him very much how Remus had left him, although under a different condition.
"Yes…you do think so. I can see it in your face." Severus flinched slightly and looked embarrassed. It caught him off guard when Voldemort titled up his head and kissed his lips. "Well you no longer need to worry about such things, Severus. I will not leave you. Ever."
"Yes, my lord." the raven blushed as he wrapped his arms around him and snuggled his head into his lover's chest, amazing the dark wizard. This was the first time in months that Severus had ever showed some sort of affection towards him and it pleased him. Meanwhile, Snape felt some comfort in Voldemort's words for some strange reason and couldn't for the life of him know. Maybe he wasn't lying and his lover would indeed stay with him. After all, it wasn't like it was with Remus. As long as he stayed loyal, he was safe.
