Harry's PoV:
Harry woke up the next morning to Severus shaking his shoulder. "Get up, Harry," Severus was saying. "It's winter break." Grinning, Harry sat up, excited by this news. Severus smirked. "I've never seen a grown adult so excited about vacation."
Harry laughed and playfully shoved him. "I feel like I could dance around the room," he said dramatically. "No work or drama or kids for two whole weeks."
"Well, not two whole weeks," Severus pointed out as Harry got out of bed. "Two and a half weeks."
"Even better," Harry sighed happily. Severus chuckled.
They used Floo powder to get to Snape Manor, and upon their quick arrival, Harry gaped at the house in amazement. "Wow!"
They were in a beautiful living room with dark polished wood and dark green paint. The rest of the house was gorgeous, too, the kitchen and dining room and the backyard. Harry could see a hammock dangling between two trees.
When they went back inside the house, Severus started up the stairs. "My bedroom is up here. Our bedroom," he added after a moment.
Harry felt a jab of nervousness and was suddenly overwhelmed as he walked up the stairs behind Severus. He opened the third door on the left side of the hall and Harry followed him into his bedroom, his heart pounding. He barely noticed the bedroom, completely aware of how close Severus was. Suddenly breathless, Harry leaned against the door. "Severus..."
Severus looked back at him, his expression filling with worry. "Harry? You look pale. What is it?"
"Just...a little nervous." Harry swayed, and Severus caught him before he could fall, his hands gripping Harry's waist.
"Sit down," Severus said, pulling Harry over to the bed with a gentle arm around his waist. Severus's touch made his heart speed up, and Harry swallowed nervously, despite the growing desire. "Do you need a glass of water?"
"No, I...I just need..." Harry laced his fingers in through Severus's and leaned in for a kiss. The kiss lingered and Harry's heart pounded quickly as he felt Severus tugging him closer, his hands on the younger man's waist. Harry felt hot all of a sudden, as he felt Severus's body pressed up against his own.
After a few moments of kissing, Harry felt Severus pushing him up against the soft pillows, their kisses heating up. Severus's lips trailed down to Harry's neck, and Harry buried his face in Severus's soft hair.
Warm lips crashed against his own, and Harry kissed back just as hungrily. "Severus..." he mumbled into the kiss, pulling back just a little to catch his breath. He felt suddenly overwhelmed.
"Is there something wrong?" Severus asked gently, his thumb brushing against Harry's jaw.
"No, not at all," Harry quickly reassured him. "I just need some air." Severus looked at him doubtfully. "I'll just go into the backyard." He hugged Severus tightly, surprising the older man who hugged him back. "Everything's fine. I love you."
"I love you, too," Severus said as Harry kissed his cheek and went downstairs into the backyard. The cool breeze did feel nice as he went over to the hammock and sat down. Why had he been so nervous all of a sudden?
Severus's PoV:
Severus sighed as he got up and went into the kitchen to make coffee. Unsure what was bothering Harry, he felt confused. Had he done something wrong? Had he rushed things?
Harry's a lot younger than you, a voice inside him said. Maybe he's just overwhelmed.
Severus looked out the window where Harry was sitting on the hammock, biting his lip and looking like he was thinking quite hard. Is he mad at me? Severus wondered. Did I do something wrong? He didn't think he had, but with teenagers, you never knew. Draco Malfoy had had a bit of a crush on him, and Severus hadn't known until the boy had confessed to him, practically in tears. Hormonal teenagers.
After a moment, he went outside to where Harry was sitting. Harry smiled when he saw Severus and patted the empty space beside him. Severus lay down on the hammock beside Harry, their shoulders touching. "I hope I'm not intruding in your personal space," he said.
"This is your house, Severus," Harry replied with a smile, reaching for his hand. "Well, it's more like a mansion, technically."
Severus snorted, his thumb brushing over Harry's. Harry rested his head on Severus's chest, and the older man held him close. He felt Harry relax against him, and Severus stared up at the blue sky. "Harry...are we okay?" Severus asked after a while of silence.
Harry lifted his head, green eyes staring into dark ones. "Of course. I just got nervous earlier." A pause. "I'm sorry."
"You don't need to apologize to me." Severus brushed a lock of dark hair out of Harry's eyes. "Why were you nervous?"
"I guess I just didn't want it to be awkward or anything," Harry stammered. "And...and this is my first time." He blushed.
"You're young, Harry," Severus pointed out. "There's no need to be embarrassed. Not around me. In fact, if anyone should be embarrassed, it should be me."
"Why?"
"Because this is my first time as well."
Harry's PoV:
Harry tried not to look too surprised. He searched desperately for the right words. "Oh."
Severus chuckled, and Harry's blush deepened. "You weren't expecting that, I see."
"But...but you're..."
"Thirty eight."
"Oh," said Harry again. Thankfully, Severus looked amused. "Why?"
"I just never found the right person," Severus said, "not until now, at least." Harry knew he must look as red as a tomato by now. "You can trust me, Harry."
"I know," Harry reassured him, suddenly realizing how close their faces were, how close their lips were. "I know." And then they were kissing, and any nervousness left over was gone. Severus kissed him hard, his mouth hot against Harry's, his hands low on Harry's back. Harry wrapped his arms around Severus's neck, his tongue brushing against Severus's. His heart pounded wildly as they kissed, Severus's hands slipping past Harry's waist.
"In the house," Harry gasped out. Severus nodded and they got up, almost falling off the hammock on the way into the house.
A while later, Harry and Severus lay together in their bedroom, the sky a dark blue-purple through the window. Harry rested his head on Severus's bare chest, sighing happily. It was a while until they spoke, they just lay there enjoying the other's company. After what felt like a long time, Harry said, "I'm glad we have this time together."
Severus's fingers stroked Harry's hair. "I agree." Harry lifted his head for a kiss, his lips brushing softly against his lover's. "I love you."
"And I love you," Severus replied, pulling Harry closer and kissing him again.
