Severus woke up and tried to stretch. However, he could only move one arm. His eyes snapped open, only to relax again when he saw Harry sleeping peacefully against his right side, an arm draped over his torso.
Severus smiled, watching his lover sleep with a small smile on his face. Severus closed his eyes and just relaxed, listening to the slow, deep rhythm of Harry's breathing.
After a while, Severus felt Harry stir. The younger man snuggled up to the warmth, bringing a small to the older man's face. Severus them felt Harry wince as he tried to move on to him.
"Ow," Harry muttered, rubbing his lower back.
"Are you alright, Harry?" Severus asked, gently stroking his lover's shoulder.
"My lower back and my arse hurt," Harry said, wincing as he moved up to kiss Severus softly. "Is that normal?"
"Unfortunately, yes," Severus said, reaching for a small bottle on his nightstand. "However, this will help the pain.
He dipped a couple fingers into the lotion and began gently massaging it into Harry's lower back. He felt the younger man relax as his pain relieving cream began to work.
Harry sighed as he felt the pain in his lower back ebb away as Severus massaged his lotion into his skin. He moved closer, thinking back to the previous night.
Harry smiled as he remembered how gentle and loving Severus has been. He felt very lucky to get to see the usually stoic man's tender side.
"What are you smiling about?" Severus asked, having finished with Harry's back.
"How amazing you made last night," Harry answered, looking into his lover's eyes. "Thank you, Sev."
"You are very welcome, Harry," Severus answered, a smile on his face.
The couple lay in one another's arms for a while, before Harry got a little daring.
Harry started very slowly moving his hand down Severus' chest, his fingers lightly skimming the pale, scarred skin. He stopped as his felt a particularly large scar.
"Sev, how did you get all of these scars?" Harry asked, sitting up a little to look at his lover.
"Um," Severus said, suddenly nervous. "I...uh..."
Harry nodded, having sat up. He gently took Severus' hand and laid it on his left forearm, where his collection of self-inflicted scars were.
Severus felt the small bumps on Harry's arm and looked at him in shock.
"You too?" he asked, horror struck.
"Yes," Harry said. "My aunt and uncle caused nearly all of them. They were terrible to me all my life. I do not plan on returning to that house once this school year is up."
Severus felt a powerful surge of protectiveness flow through him as he pulled Harry into his arms, holding him close.
Harry moved closer gratefully, happy that someone finally cared. He felt a tear roll down his cheek and mover even closer.
"Harry, please don't resort to that any longer," Severus said, rubbing his back gently. "If you ever get the urge to harm yourself, please find me."
"Of course, Sev," Harry said. "I haven't felt the urge to do that since last summer, after we fought . This is the scar from that..."
Harry took Severus' hand and put it over a rather long, dark scar.
Severus couldn't stop the pain sound from escaping his throat. He hated that he had caused Harry to harm himself.
"Sev, I don't blame you at all," Harry said, looking at him. "I blame Draco and his jealousy. It wasn't your fault."
"But I said things I never meant to say in that argument," Severus said, trying to pull away.
"Severus Tobias Snape, it was not your fault," Harry said, his hand slipping under the sheets. "Trust me."
Severus gasped as he felt a tentative hand brush his cock, all his guilt melting away at Harry's touch.
Harry clumsily stroked Severus' cock, groaning as he felt his own cock start to respond. He knocked Severus' hand away when he tried to reciprocate.
"No," Harry said. "This is all about you, Sev."
Severus groaned, unable to say what he wanted to. He gasped when Harry lightly squeezed then moaned as he felt Harry speed up a bit.
Harry waited until Severus closed his eyes in pleasure before he moved and took some of his lover's cock into his mouth, bobbing his head experimentally.
"Harry," Severus groaned, fighting the impulse to buck himself into Harry's mouth. He threaded one hand into Harry's hair.
Harry sucked a bit harder, bobbing his head faster. This earned a drawn out groan fro the older man, who gripped Harry's hair tighter. Harry let a small moan escape, causing Severus to groan.
After a few moments, Severus could feel himself approach his limit.
"Harry, I'm really close," he managed, releasing the younger man's hair. "You can stop if you wish."
Harry's response was to suck harder and keep going. Severus lasted only a few seconds before emptying himself into Harry's mouth, who swallowed almost everything.
Harry carefully released Severus' cock and sat up, looking bashful. He soon found himself being pressed into the bed and soundly kissed by Severus.
Severus broke the kiss a should while later and rested his forehead against Harry's, looking at the other man.
"Thank you," Severus said, softly.
"You're welcome, Sev," Harry said, blushing a bit under the intense gaze of his lover.
Severus moved to lay next to Harry, smiling when Harry cuddled up to him.
The couple stayed in a comfortable silence until there was a knock on Severus' door.
Harry started to move away from Severus, only to be pulled firmly into his lover's arms. Harry smiled and snuggled closer.
"Whomever that is can wait until I'm ready to stop cuddling with you," Severus said, before kissing Harry passionately.
Harry responded enthusiastically, wrapping his arms around Severus' neck.

Out in the hall, Dumbledore frowned as he waited for Severus to answer his door.
"He never takes this long to answer, even when he's asleep," Dumbledore muttered, before walking away.
