I think that this is the longest chapter I have ever written for this fanfic :). I hope that you'll all like it.

**This chapter is rated M!**


July 31st

The black haired boy was lying in a warm and cosy bed. He rolled on his side and slowly opened his heavy eyes. His vision was blurry, because he didn't have his glasses on and he was still half asleep, but he could see that the sun was already shining. This meant only one thing; he would have to get up. Harry let out an annoyed moan and he sighed. Leaving the bed seemed really impossible at that moment. Harry put his arms under his pillow and closed his eyes again. However, his eyes shot back opened as soon as he remembered where he actually was. The memories of the last past days returned to Harry and he quickly turned around just to see that Severus wasn't lying next to him. Harry felt a little bit disappointed when he saw that Severus had already gotten up.

The past days, which Harry spent at Severus' house, were great. He loved the fact that he could see the man all the time. The best thing about staying with Severus was the fact that they didn't have to hide from other people and they could finally enjoy the time with each other. In the mornings, the two of them would usually cuddle and it would already be noon before they would leave the bed. So, because of this, Harry was really disappointed when he saw that Severus wasn't lying next to him. Suddenly, the bed didn't seem that comfortable and Harry was finally wide awake.

Harry lifted himself up and sat onto the bed. He put his glasses on, stood up and decided to go look for Severus. Maybe it was already really late, so that was why Severus was already up. Harry opened the bedroom door and yawned. He then headed down the stairs. When he opened the door, he could immediately smell a delicious smell coming from the kitchen. Severus must have been preparing a breakfast! Harry could feel his mouth watering and his stomach let out a loud growl. Harry smiled and then happily stepped into the kitchen. He was right! Severus was standing in front of the stove as he was preparing a meal for both of them.

When Severus heard a noise coming from his right side, he looked at that direction. When he saw the boy standing in front of the kitchen, he smiled. That day was Harry's birthday so that was the reason why he got up earlier than Harry. Severus needed to make sure that the day was going to be perfect. However Severus was very surprised when he saw that Harry was standing there almost naked; the boy was wearing only his underwear. Knowing how easily embarrassed Harry was, Severus almost felt like it was his birthday when he saw the sight of almost naked Harry.

"Good morning," said Harry and yawned again. He wasn't aware of the fact that he had very little clothes on, so he walked past Severus and sat onto the chair.

"Good morning, Harry," said Severus and he walked to Harry. He then cupped Harry's face and pressed a feather light kiss onto Harry's lips. Severus then pulled back and crossed his arms. Severus raised his left eyebrow, still waiting for any sign of embarrassment coming from Harry.

When Harry saw that Severus was staring at him, he frowned. What was wrong with Severus?. "Why are you staring at me?" asked Harry.

A small smirk crept onto Severus' lips as he said: "I know that it is your birthday today but… is this some kind of present for me?" As Severus said that, he gently placed his palm onto Harry's naked chest.

Harry's eyes grew huge when he felt Severus' cold fingers on his skin. He quickly looked down and finally noticed that he was wearing only his underwear. When Harry noticed that, his body heat increased immediately and his cheeks were aflame with dark pink colour. How could he be so stupid for not noticing that earlier? Harry stood up, because he wanted to get some clothes on himself as soon as it was possible. However, before Harry could leave the kitchen Severus grabbed his arm and pulled Harry close to himself.

"Where are you going? The breakfast is almost ready," whispered Severus into Harry's ear.

When Harry felt Severus' hot breath against his ear and neck, his whole body shuddered. Harry was still amazed that Severus had such a big impact on his body. "I'll just put on some clothes. I'll be back in a second."

Severus' smirk widened when he felt Harry's heart beating fast and he held the boy even closer to himself. Severus had his arms around Harry's waist and he had no intentions of letting Harry go. "Why? I don't mind if you are dressed like this," teased Severus.

"Oh, I know that you don't mind," said Harry and pulled back a little. He didn't like the smirk on the man's lips. "B-But I mind it, so could you please let me go?"

Severus nodded and then removed his hands from Harry. Harry didn't say anything and he ran into the bedroom. His heart was racing and his face was still feeling really hot. He was very angry with himself for being so stupid. When Harry was done with dressing himself up, he sat onto the bed and sighed. He realised that the almost forgot that it was his birthday that day. So that was the reason why Severus woke up so early. Harry knew that Severus must've made some plans for that day. Even though Harry said to the man not to worry too much about his birthday, he knew that Severus wouldn't listen to him. Because Harry didn't want to keep Severus wait any longer, he went into the kitchen.

When Harry returned to kitchen he saw that Severus had already put all of the food on the table and the man was already sitting down, waiting for Harry to come into the kitchen. Harry gulped, still feeling a little bit embarrassed. Harry looked down and then made his way across the kitchen and sat down next to Severus. As Harry was coming closer to the man, Severus noticed that a light pink blush was present on the boy's cheeks. Severus pressed his lips together and held back his laughter. He didn't want to make things worse. Plus it was Harry's birthday that day and he didn't want to ruin Harry's day.

Harry, who still wasn't saying anything, took the fork into his hand and started eating. The food, which Severus cooked, was really delicious and Harry had to smile. As Harry was eating happily, Severus was just watching Harry. Severus knew that he have been doing that a lot. Ever since Harry came to his home, he couldn't take his eyes from the boy. It still felt like a dream having Harry there and Severus just wanted to make sure that Harry really was there. While Harry was eating, he could feel Severus' eyes on him. He turned his head to Severus and sent him a puzzled look.

When Harry saw the serious expression on Severus' face he frowned. Why was Severus acting so serious all of the sudden? "What's wrong?" asked Harry with his mouth full.

"Oh, nothing," said Severus and finally a warm smile returned to his face. "I was just thinking."

"About what?"

"How happy I am… that you are here," said Severus and put his hand behind Harry's neck. Severus' eyes travelled lower and stopped on those horrible marks around Harry's neck. Severus gritted his teeth in anger and forced to look away.

When Harry saw the troubled look on the man's face he sighed and brought his hand to his neck, so that his hand was touching Severus'. "I told you, I am alright. And I am really happy to be here too," said Harry, who tried to cheer Severus up. He didn't want Severus to worry about him. Especially not on his birthday!

Severus nodded, knowing that he shouldn't have been thinking about such unpleasant things. A small smile returned to his lips. Then he took Harry's hand into his own. He guided their hands down and let them rest on the table. When Harry saw that the man returned to normal, he felt relieved and he went back to eating the delicious meal.

When Severus saw how fast the boy was eating his food, he couldn't stop himself from smiling. "I see that you like your breakfast. Is it really that good?"

"It's delicious," said Harry.

After the two of them finished eating their breakfast, they cleaned the dishes. After that, Severus took Harry into the sitting room and then suddenly disappeared. Harry knew that that had to do something with his birthday. Harry sat onto the old armchair as he waited for Severus to return. He still couldn't believe that he almost forgot that it was his birthday. Harry knew that it was because of Severus. He was having such a great time with the man, that he had forgotten his own birthday. Knowing how much he meant to the man, Harry knew that Severus must've planned something big for him. Harry didn't want to admit to himself, but he was actually happy that Severus didn't listen to him.

Severus retuned with two presents in his hands. He saw how the boy's eyes lit up when he saw the presents and the man chuckled. Harry really did act like a child sometimes; well he technically still was a child and Severus would sometimes still forget that. Severus awkwardly stepped to Harry. He was really bad at things like that. Harry got onto his legs and stepped closer to Severus. Severus also took a few steps closer to Harry and then he smiled.

"Happy birthday, Harry," said Severus softly. Then he handed those two presents to Harry.

"T-Thanks," stuttered Harry, feeling how the heat of his body raised a bit.

"I hope that you will like them," said Severus and pointed to the presents.

Harry nodded and put the two presents onto the table, which was next to the armchair. Harry decided to unwrap the bigger present first. As he was unwrapping it, he could feel that Severus watching him. That made him feel a little bit nervous. Severus noticed that he was making Harry feel uncomfortable and he chuckled. Harry wanted to turn back and make a comment on it, but he decided not to. When he was done with unwrapping the first present, there was a box in it. He opened the box and he found a beautiful photograph album in it. The album was empty and it was in the darker shade of green. Harry smiled, because he knew that the photograph album was going to be filled with his and Severus' pictures by the end of the summer. He liked his first present a lot. When he opened the album there was a note inside of it.

Happy birthday, Harry! Let's make many beautiful memories together this summer and put them in here. I know that we are going to have a great time this summer and I really hope that you like this present. It feels so nice to have you here and the house finally doesn't feel so cold and lonely. For the first time in years I feel happy while staying in this horrible house. I know that I told you this many times, but you mean everything to me. So… happy birthday. I love you.

As Harry was reading the note, he could feel the warmth and happiness spreading through his body. His heart was pounding and he turned to Severus, who was still watching him. The man felt a little bit uncertain, because Harry wasn't saying anything. The boy was smiling and then Harry walked towards Severus.

"Hey, you have another one to-"

Severus stopped talking as Harry wrapped his hands around his body. Severus leaned down and buried his nose into the crook of Harry's neck. Harry chuckled as he felt Severus' long hair tickling his neck. Severus brought his left hand up and entangled his fingers into Harry's hair. The boy looked up and his gaze met Severus'. As their eyes met, Severus lightly exhaled, gently touched Harry's right cheek with his fingers and then ran his thumb over Harry's dry lips. Harry parted his lips a little bit when the man touched them and then gave Severus' finger a soft kiss.

"Thank you," muttered Harry. He knew that he had another present to unwrap, but he really liked the first one and he just had to say something.

"Do you like it?" asked Severus.

"Yes," said Harry.

"You still have another one left to open," said Severus and then pointed to a small present, which was still waiting to be unwrapped.

"Oh yes, of course," said Harry and quickly stepped to the table, which had the last present on it. This one was much smaller. Harry rubbed his palms together in excitement and started opening his last present. As he was opening the present, Severus stepped closer to him, not even once taking his eyes off Harry. Harry could feel Severus' eyes on his back and he was starting to feel nervous again. The man then walked past Harry and sat onto the armchair, patiently waiting for the boy to unwrap the last gift.

When he opened the gift, he found that inside of a small black box there was a very beautiful bracelet. When he saw that the man bought him a piece of jewellery, Harry blushed a little bit. However, he had to admit that he liked that he was going to wear something from Severus every day. The bracelet was silver and black and Harry immediately took it into his hands. The bracelet was made out of steel and Harry liked it a lot. Harry put the bracelet around his wrist and then he turned to the man.

Severus could tell that Harry liked his presents and he was very happy about that. When he noticed that Harry couldn't stop looking at the bracelet, Severus' deep laughter filled the room. The boy looked at him, blushing slightly. Severus' happiness only grew when Harry stepped to him, leaned down and pressed a soft kiss onto his forehead. Severus closed his eyes for a second and then opened them. He looked up.

"Thank you for the presents. You really shouldn't have," said Harry and watched as the man stood up.

"Nonsense, Harry. I said that I was going to spoil you this summer, didn't I?" teased Severus.

"W-Well… thanks," said Harry awkwardly.

"I am just really happy that you like them."

Harry nodded and his eyes went down to his wrist. He gently touched his new bracelet. Harry knew that he probably looked stupid for staring at his wrist, but he didn't really care. Harry usually didn't like wearing jewellery, but he knew that that bracelet wasn't coming of any time soon. Severus noticed that Harry's eyes were again on the bracelet and he smirked. He had no idea that such a small thing would be so important to Harry.

"You like the bracelet that much?" asked Severus.

"Y-Yeah," said Harry and made a short pause. "This is the first time that I've gotten a piece of jewellery and you gave it to me… It means a lot to me. Thanks to you, this is the best birthday that I've had until now." Harry knew that he was saying embarrassing things again, so he just shrugged, trying to ignore the upcoming blush.

"Oh the day isn't over yet. I have something else planned for today," said Severus.

"What? No, you really don't have to…" said Harry. He was happy that the man planned something else on that day. However, Harry didn't want Severus to worry so much about him. The presents were already more than the boy could wish for.

"Your birthday wish was to have a dinner with me somewhere. You do remember that, right?" asked Severus, who was a little bit disappointed that Harry forgot about that.

"Oh that… yeah," muttered Harry. Because of the Dursleys Harry had completely forgotten about his birthday wish. Harry then nodded and slowly smiled. "The dinner would be nice," said Harry to himself and Severus heard him.

"Ah, so you've remembered," said Severus.

"Yeah," nodded Harry and then grinned at the man.


Later that day

Harry was standing inside of the bedroom, getting ready for his dinner with Severus. He had taken a shower and at that moment the boy was deciding on what to wear for his date with Severus. He had taken all of his clothes out of his trunk, looking for a perfect thing to wear. However, Harry just couldn't find the right clothes for his date. That was always happening to him and he was really angry at himself for not buying some new clothes for himself.

Harry looked at the clock, which showed that it was already 6 pm. Harry quietly cursed, because he realised that 30 minutes already passed since he started picking what to wear. Harry let out an annoyed groan. In the end, Harry picked to wear a light blue shirt and jeans. He looked himself in the mirror and noticed that the bruises around his neck were still present. He avoided looking at it as much as he could. He lightly touched his neck. It didn't hurt anymore, but it was annoying to have to look at it. He wished that it could disappear quicker. Harry then sighed and took a comb into his hands. When he finished combing his hair, he took one last glance at the mirror. He didn't really like what he saw, but he decided to let it be, because he knew that Severus was already waiting for him.

Harry then quickly went downstairs and saw that Severus was already waiting for him. Harry took a good look at Severus. Severus was wearing a green T-shirt and jeans. Harry was still not used to seeing Severus without his robes on. When Harry saw Severus in Muggle clothes, he just couldn't look away. The man looked really good in them. Severus looked ten years younger and ten times more handsome without his robes. Harry found himself staring at Severus, so he quickly looked at the floor, blushing furiously.

Severus was sitting in his sitting room, while he was waiting for Harry to get ready. He knew that the boy would take a long time to get ready, so he opened a book and started reading it. At least, that was what Severus tried to do. However, he couldn't really concentrate on the book, because his mind was filled with Harry and he was very excited about their dinner. Severus only hoped that everything would go smooth. When Severus heard that the bedroom door finally opened, he closed the book and went to the stairs. He smiled when he saw Harry. When Severus saw Harry, he could tell that the boy really did spend a lot of time getting ready. Harry looked fantastic; the blue shirt looked stunning on Harry. Suddenly, Harry stopped walking. Severus frowned and then noticed that Harry was staring at him. Severus grinned and then stepped closer to Harry.

"Do you like what you see?" whispered Severus right into Harry's ear.

Severus' voice made Harry's heart throb and Harry couldn't hold back himself from moaning quietly as Severus said those words. Harry's flush deepened and he gently pushed Severus away. "L-Let's go… I am really hungry," stuttered Harry and walked past Severus.

Severus followed Harry. Just as Harry was about to open the main door, Severus stopped Harry by pressing his body against Harry's. Harry's body froze and he turned around in confusion. He wanted to say something, but Severus interrupted him by saying: "When we come back, I am going to make love to you."

Severus' voice was hoarse and when Harry felt the man's hot breath against the back of his neck, he gasped. Harry's body shuddered at Severus' words. What came over the man? Harry knew that Severus was usually never so blunt about things like that. Harry gulped and somehow managed to turn around, to face Severus.

Severus' breathing was hard and uneven. He didn't even know why he said that so suddenly. It was true that he hadn't touch Harry in that way ever since they left Hogwarts. Severus knew how much his body missed Harry and it was becoming really hard to control himself around Harry. So, when he saw the way Harry was looking at him at the stairs, made Severus lose his self-control. When Harry turned around, Severus finally let the boy go and he stepped a few steps backwards.

Harry's body was still shaking a little bit and his eyes were wide opened. He had no idea what had just happened. He sent Severus a confused look. When Severus saw the confusion in Harry's eyes, he looked down a little bit before locking his gaze with Harry. Severus took a deep breath and he opened the main door.

"Severus," said Harry and grabbed Severus' arm. "W-What was that?"

"Nothing… forget it," muttered Severus and watched as the boy stepped outside. "Now let's get going before it's too late. Take my hand," said Severus, who wanted to ignore the words that came out of his mouth just a few seconds ago.

"O-Okay," said Harry and took Severus' hand into his own. Severus looked at Harry and their fingers intertwined. Then Severus apparated the two of them to the place where he and Harry were going to have their dinner.

Harry and Severus were soon standing in front of a small restaurant, which seemed to be the only one in that small town. Harry looked around him and saw the people walking past them, not really paying too much attention to him and Severus. Harry smiled. He wasn't really used to people not recognising him. People would usually point fingers to him and start whispering as he walked past them on the magical streets of London. Harry smiled and then looked at the man. When Severus saw the smile on Harry's face, he returned Harry a small smile and then took Harry's hand into his own. As Severus did that, Harry was caught completely of guard and he pushed Severus' hand away.

"What's wrong, Harry?" asked Severus, who was surprised with Harry's reaction.

Then Harry remembered that they weren't on Hogwarts. He knew that nobody knew who they were and that it was completely normal for them to hold hands outside. Harry lowered his eyes apologetically and then moved his hand forward, gently brushing the back of his palm against Severus' hand. The man smiled and then took Harry's hand again into his own and leaded Harry into the restaurant.


The restaurant was almost full, so they were very glad to find an empty table in the corner of the restaurant. Harry and Severus sat down, waiting for the waitress to take their order. As they were waiting for her, they sat there in a complete silence. Harry was looking down into his lap as he was shaking his legs nervously. He didn't even know why he suddenly felt so shy around Severus. To keep himself busy, he took the menu into his hands and started looking at it. He didn't even know what he should order.

Severus, on the other hand, was enjoying himself. He knew that Harry felt embarrassed, so he stayed silent for a few minutes, waiting for Harry to calm himself down a little bit. He looked around the restaurant and was happy that it didn't change much since he was younger. When he was younger, his father would sometimes take him to that town. Even though he didn't get along with his father at all, coming to that town would always make Severus feel better.

"Can I take your order?" asked a young waitress, who finally came to their table.

"Uh, yeah," stuttered Harry, who was still looking at the menu.

"So, what shall I bring you, gentlemen?" asked the waitress and smiled. Harry looked up to her and returned her an awkward laugh.

"Uh… I would like-" started Harry, but then stopped talking. He really had no idea what he should order for himself. He then looked at Severus, his eyes pleading for help.

When Severus saw the expression on Harry's face, he chuckled and then gently ruffled Harry's hair. "Would you like me to order for you?"

"Yeah," said Harry.

Severus then nodded, looked up at the waitress and ordered food and drinks for them. When Severus finished ordering, the waitress smiled and then walked away from their table. When Severus and Harry were finally alone, Severus looked at Harry. He saw that the boy was again looking down. Severus frowned a little bit.

"So, how do you like it here?" asked Severus.

Harry looked up. "It's nice here. But are you really sure that nobody will recognise us?" asked Harry, turning his head down.

"Yes, I am certain of that. There are no wizards in this small town," said Severus. "Is this why you keep looking down; to hide your face from the others?"

"No, not really," mumbled Harry, who was far too embarrassed to admit the real reason why he wouldn't look at Severus' face.

"Then why won't you look at me?" asked Severus, who already knew the real reason why Harry was looking down.

"I'm just-"

"Embarrassed?"

"Yeah," said Harry and finally looked at the man. "I don't even know why… I mean, this is our first proper date. I-I know that we went on a date before, but we are in front of other people… and in a restaurant… It just feels different." Harry sighed and shrugged his shoulders. He knew that what he was saying was stupid. "Or I don't know… I suck, I know."

Severus was supporting his head on his hand as he watched the boy. He knew exactly what Harry meant by saying that. "I know what you mean," said Severus.

Soon, the waitress brought their food and drinks to their table. Severus and Harry thanked to the waitress and then started eating. Harry had to admit that the food at that restaurant was very delicious. He then looked at Severus.

"How do you like your food, Harry?" asked Severus.

"It is really good," answered Harry and then took a sip of juice.

"I'm glad to hear that," said Severus.

"So…" started Harry. He wanted to ask Severus an intelligent question instead of making a fool out of himself in front of Severus. What should he ask Severus anyway? Harry started thinking and then remembered that he hadn't ask Severus yet what was he doing before he came to his home. The man said that he has been really busy and Harry wondered if it was alright to ask the man about it. Because Harry couldn't come up with more intelligent answer, he asked: "So, what did you do while I was staying at the Dursleys?"

Severus stopped eating when Harry asked that question. His body tensed and he sighed. He wasn't in the mood to discuss it with Harry at that moment. For the whole July, he and Dumbledore were working on a plan against Voldemort. Severus spent too many days working on that plan and he really didn't want to talk about it

Harry saw that the man was thinking really hard and he frowned. "Severus?"

When Harry called him by his name, Severus stopped thinking and he looked at Harry, who was giving him a puzzled look. He knew that it wouldn't be fair to lie to Harry. However, he couldn't tell the truth to Harry. He knew that if Harry found out the truth, he would be really worried. Plus Severus really didn't want to destroy Harry's birthday by discussing serious things like that.

"Oh, nothing really. I was just helping Dumbledore at the Hogwarts with some… stuff," said Severus, but he knew that Harry wouldn't believe him.

"You are lying to me," said Harry, who felt a little bit offended.

"Yes," sighed Severus and continued, "Look, I really don't want to discuss this right now. I mean, it's your birthday. Let's talk about something more pleasant."

"What is that supposed to mean?" asked Harry and narrowed his eyes. He knew about Severus' past, so he couldn't shake off that horrible feeling that all of that had to do something with Voldemort.

Severus sighed, knowing that he would have to tell Harry the truth. Plus judging by the worried expression on Harry's face, Severus realised that Harry had a clue why he didn't want to tell him about his summer. "I and the headmaster were working on a plan, which could hopefully destroy… him," finally said Severus.

"What?!" said Harry with a loud voice. He knew that Severus used to be a Death Eater and all of that stuff, but he really didn't like the idea of Severus working against Voldemort. "Don't… I mean… I don't want you to get hurt," said Harry and looked at his plate, his hunger suddenly disappearing.

"But I am alright," said Severus, with a calming voice. This was why he didn't want to discuss that matter with Harry, especially not on that day. "You don't have to worry… Everything is alright. I didn't spy on him or anything like that. I and Dumbledore were just… discussing some things."

"Yeah, but still…" said Harry, who still felt very worried.

"Like I said, everything is alright," said Severus and then gently ruffled Harry's hair, hoping that the boy could relax again and enjoy the dinner.

"Are you sure? I-I mean I would go mad if something would happen to-"

"Everything is fine, now eat," said Severus lightly and smiled to Harry.

Harry angrily pressed his lips together, but he nodded. He knew that Severus didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he decided to listen to the man and he stopped worrying.

After the two of them finished eating, Severus paid for their dinner and then they went for a walk around the small town. As they were walking Severus was explaining to Harry that he used to come there a lot of times when he was younger. Even though the town was very small, it had its special charm and Harry could see why Severus loved that town so much. Harry was very special that Severus showed him another place that was close to his heart.

They were walking down the street, holding hands. At first Harry had a difficult time getting used to it. But after a few minutes, when he actually saw that nobody was paying attention to the two of them, Harry loved the fact that he was able to hold Severus' hand like that. Harry squeezed Severus' hand a little bit tighter as he smiled. He hadn't felt that happy in a long time and without any questions, that was the best birthday that he ever had.

When Severus felt that the boy tightened the hold of his hand he smiled. He looked to his left and saw that Harry was smiling. As he saw Harry's smile, a warm feeling started spreading through Severus' body. When he was with Harry, he felt completely relaxed. It seemed like all the worries disappeared when Harry was near him. Severus then stopped and stepped in front of the boy and looked Harry into the eyes.

"Should we head back home?" asked Severus.

"Uh… I don't really care," answered Harry and then remembered what Severus said before they went to dinner. Severus said that he was going to make love to him, right? Harry gulped and his body shuddered at that thought. No matter how embarrassing it was to Harry, he wanted to be held by Severus. He missed those big hands roaming around his body.

"What's the matter, Harry?" asked Severus when he noticed that Harry was thinking.

"W-When we come back to your house… I mean, before you left you said that you'd like to-" said Harry and then stopped talking. Harry's heart was racing and his breathing was fast. Harry touched his hot cheek and then buried his face into Severus' chest.

"Oh," was all that left Severus' mouth. He really wasn't expecting Harry to say that. He saw that Harry's body was shaking and he could tell that Harry was panting. Seeing boy in that state made really difficult for Severus to control himself. He wanted to hold Harry. It's been such a long time. "It's completely alright if you don't want to. I mean, I'm not going to lie… I would like to, but if you don't want it then…"

When Severus said that, Harry gasped. "N-No… I want to," blurted Harry out.

"Really?" asked Severus with a huge grin on his face.

"Yeah," said Harry, still hiding his face. He grabbed the man's shirt, because he wanted to let Severus know how much he needed to be touched.

Severus laughed lightly and said: "Well, I guess it's time for us to get back home."


As soon as Severus apparated the two of them back home, Severus opened the door of his home and stepped inside. Harry quickly followed Severus, his heart still racing. Severus locked the door and then grabbed Harry's hand. Before Harry could say anything, the man started walking up the stairs, dragging the boy behind him. Severus then went right into his bedroom and then closed the door. He gently pushed Harry onto the bed. Harry didn't complain about it and his body became unbearably hot when Severus sat down next to him and kissed him hungrily.

Severus missed Harry so much, that he completely forgot about being gentle. His right hand went behind Harry's neck and his left one into Harry's hair. When he gently pulled on Harry's hair, the boy let out a small yelp of surprise. It didn't hurt, it actually felt really good. Severus captured Harry's lips with his own and his tongue sneaked into Harry's mouth. Harry felt a little bit stunned, but he quickly recovered and he opened his mouth, letting the man explore his mouth. The taste of Harry's mouth was driving Severus' insane and he could feel how his self-control was beginning to disappear. Harry gently moved his tongue and as his tongue brushed against Severus', he heard a groan coming from the back of Severus' throat. That sent a wave of arousal through Harry's body.

Severus broke their kiss for a second, because it became hard to breath. In a second his mouth was back onto Harry's, kissing the boy deeply and hungrily. The way that Harry was moving his tongue was driving the man completely mad. He pushed Harry back and Harry lied onto the bed. Severus then hovered over the boy, supporting himself onto his left arm. Their lips locked again. Severus put his right hand onto the boy's chest and then he moved it lower, stopping on the boy's hips. As Severus did that, Harry's body shook under Severus' touches and he moaned a little. Harry's moan was what brought Severus back to reality. He broke their kiss and gave Harry a gentle look.

"I'm sorry for attacking you like this," said Severus, panting. His hand moved back up and he gently touched Harry's cheek. "I just missed you so much," said Severus as he slowly traced his fingers over Harry's lips.

Harry's cheeks became aflame with pink at Severus' words. "T-That's okay. It's not like I hated it," said Harry slowly. When he saw a smirk forming on Severus' lips he realised that he said something embarrassing again.

Severus chuckled at Harry and then their lips met in a gentle kiss. Severus felt how Harry's body was slightly shaking under him. He took Harry's hand and pressed it onto his own chest. He wanted to show that it was completely normal to be embarrassed and nervous. Harry opened his eyes slightly when Severus took his hand. When his hand was pressed onto the man's chest, he could feel that Severus' heart was throbbing. Harry realised that Severus' pulse was rapid and he calmed down a little bit. Severus smiled when he felt that Harry relaxed under him.

"I love you," whispered Severus, his lips travelling to the boy's neck.

Harry turned his head, letting the man come even closer to him. Severus' tongue started slowly travelling across Harry's neck, up to Harry's ear. Severus gently bit Harry's earlobe, making Harry gasp. Severus chuckled and then his lips returned to Harry's neck, gently nibbling the skin there. Severus bit a little rougher, leaving the mark there. That way, he really knew that the boy belonged only to him. When Severus bit his neck, Harry gasped and buried his fingers into Severus' hair.

Severus groaned when Harry tugged on his hair and with his right arm, he started lifting Harry's shirt. His hand went underneath Harry's shirt and Harry couldn't hold back the moan when Severus' fingers came in contact with his hot skin. Severus gently ran his fingers over Harry's stomach, up to the boy's chest. Severus' fingers felt amazing against Harry's skin and he bit onto his lower lip, to keep himself from moaning. Severus looked up and when he saw Harry's face, he almost moaned. Harry's eyes were half closed, his lips slightly opened as he was panting for air. Severus licked his lower lip as a wave of new arousal hit his body.

Harry's body was growing hotter and hotter by each passing second. He could feel that Severus' hand started travelling lower, stopping on his thigh, and gently squeezing that place. Harry swallowed hard. His throat felt itchy and dry. Harry could feel himself getting hard as Severus' slender fingers started travelling upwards. A load moan escaped Harry's mouth when Severus touched his hard member through his jeans. Harry then decided that he should do something for Severus too. Severus was usually the one doing all the work and the boy wanted to make Severus feel good as well.

"W-Wait a second," breathed out Harry.

"Harry?" asked Severus and stopped touching Harry. Severus was breathing hard and almost couldn't believe that Harry asked him to stop. Why did Harry suddenly change his mind? Severus sighed and lifted himself up. "Do you not want to?"

Harry saw that Severus' face darkened with anxiety and he panicked. "Ah, that's not it," stuttered Harry.

"Then what is the matter?" asked Severus and frowned.

"I-It's just… I want to do something for you as well," muttered Harry, shaking off the embarrassment.

"I see," said Severus, a smile returning to his face. He felt relieved a little bit and then he nodded. He knew how much that meant to Harry, so he decided not to talk back that time. He just nodded and then lied back onto the bed, waiting for Harry to continue with things.

Harry's heart sped up when he saw that the man was lying down, waiting. Harry gulped and awkwardly hanged himself over Severus, staring down to his face. Harry gently cupped Severus' face and the man closed his eyes. Harry then lowered himself down and gently pressed his lips against Severus'. He then started planting feather like kisses all over Severus' face. Severus smiled and put his arms around Harry's body. Harry's lips then moved to Severus' neck. Harry gently nibbled the skin there and felt satisfied with himself when he earned a quiet moan coming from Severus.

Suddenly, Severus lifted his body and removed his shirt. He then lied back, watching at Harry for make the next move. A light blush welcomed Harry's cheeks when he saw shirtless Severus lying underneath him. Harry quickly collected himself and returned his lips to Severus' neck. He licked the man's neck. Harry then slowly slid his tongue down Severus' neck to his chest. Severus jerked his head back and exhaled sharply. Harry's tongue felt really good against his skin. He pulled Harry's hair a little. At that point Severus had a really hard time with controlling himself. All that he wanted to do at that moment was to pin the boy against the bed.

"Harry…" said Severus, grabbing the boy's chin and lifting Harry's gaze.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it feel good?" asked Harry, troubled.

"No, that's not it. It feels really good, actually. And this is why I can't hold back anymore," said Severus and Harry knew what he meant. Harry nodded. Severus then wrapped his hands around Harry's body and flipped their bodies over.

Severus took Harry's shirt off and impatiently undid Harry's belt. Harry was looking at Severus' eyes and he could see that they were dark with need and lust. Harry licked his lips and forced himself to look away. Harry was still wearing his underwear, but Severus' eyes lit up when they saw Harry's erection. Severus took a deep breath and gently ran his fingers through Harry's erection. Harry arched his back to Severus' touch, pushing his hips against Severus' hand. Harry's eager reaction made Severus' heart beat faster. Severus then removed Harry's underwear, his hands quickly taking a hold of Harry's hard member. As Severus gently squeezed Harry's erection, the boy closed his eyes and covered his mouth, trying to muffle his moans. Severus started slowly moving his hand, his eyes locked on Harry's face. Just looking at Harry's face was almost enough to make Severus come. Severus felt his own member throb and he groaned.

Harry opened his eyes. The heated look in Severus' eyes made Harry's heart throb. Severus' hand started moving faster and Harry could swear that he saw stars. Harry removed his hand from his mouth, knowing that it was useless to muffle his voices. Harry started moving his hips, which made him feel ever more amazing. God, he missed being touched like that. He needed more of Severus' touches and kisses.

"How does it feel?" asked Severus, panting.

"Feels… good," said Harry, his face burning with embarrassment.

"Did you do this to yourself when you were staying at the Dursleys?" whispered Severus, his hand moving faster. He tightened his grip around Harry's hard cock a little, earning a loud moan from the boy.

"N-No…" lied Harry. Harry looked at the man's face and saw the huge smirk on Severus' face. He almost rolled his eyes. So the man knew that he was lying? "Y-Yeah," finally breathed Harry out, turning his face away from Severus.

"Really?" asked Severus, his voice filled with lust.

Severus could feel that his body was begging for release and he knew that he wouldn't be able to hold back for much longer. He brought the fingers of his free hand down, gently running his fingers over Harry's entrance. When Severus did that, Harry's eyes shot back open as he remembered how amazing he felt when Severus touched him there the last time. Harry's body started shuddering as the need of being touched at that place started growing inside of him.

"How about here?" asked Severus. "Did you touch yourself here too?"

"O-Of course not!" panted Harry.

"Oh, Harry," moaned Severus, leaning down to the boy, kissing him hard. He wanted to do more things to Harry. "Tell me, what should I do?"

"Touch me."

"But I am touching you already, Harry," teased Severus.

"N-No… more," panted Harry, his face burning.

"Do you want me to touch you here," asked Severus and pressed his fingers against Harry's entrance.

"Please…"

Harry watched how Severus summoned a small bottle and smeared some of the liquid onto his fingers. Harry swallowed hard when Severus brought his fingers down to his entrance again. Severus then poured some of the liquid onto the boys' entrance, because he didn't want Harry to be in any kind of pain.

"Are you really sure about this?" asked Severus gently, just making sure that Harry didn't feel pressured to do this.

"Yes… now please hurry," blurted out Harry. He stopped thinking about what he was saying.

Severus then smiled, kissed the tip of Harry's nose and gently pushed a finger into Harry. When Harry felt Severus' finger inside him, he arched his back and gasped. It felt a little bit weird, but as Severus continued moving his finger, the discomfort transformed into pleasure. Severus wrapped the fingers of his free hand around Harry's shaft, slowly pumping it. Harry could feel how the pleasure started building up and a familiar numbness started becoming present in his waist. Harry couldn't control himself and started moving his hips, thrusting hard into Severus' hand.

Severus quickened up the pace of his hand and pushed another finger into Harry. He knew that he probably should've warned the boy about it. Harry let out a surprised yelp when he felt how another finger entered him. It hurt a little bit at first, but then the pain quickly faded away. Harry felt how Severus' fingers started moving inside of him. And then Severus' fingers brushed against that wonderful spot. Harry threw his head back and let out a loud moan.

"Here?" asked Severus and chuckled a little bit. He could see that Harry was feeling good and he was happy about that.

"Y-Yeah… more," said Harry.

"Oh, Harry… you are amazing," whispered Severus.

The man started moving his fingers faster. Every time when Severus' fingers brushed against Harry's prostate, Harry let out a loud moan. Harry opened his eyes again. His vision was blurry from the pleasure. The hand around Harry's cock also started moving faster and Severus knew that Harry was close.

"Severus, I'm going to-" said Harry and bit his lower lip. Harry then moved his hips a few more times, before spilling his seed onto Severus' hand.

It took Harry a few seconds to come back to reality. He felt really exhausted and happy. His body was still shaking and he looked to his right, where Severus was lying. Severus was panting and Harry noticed Severus' erection. Harry took a deep breath, sat onto the bed and gently touched Severus' hard member. As Harry touched the man, Severus' body shook. Severus swallowed hard, almost forcing the saliva down his throat. He wanted Harry; more than any time before. Severus also sat onto the bed and moved closer to Harry. Harry's fingers started shaking when the man lifted up, but he didn't stop touching the man.

"Harry," breathed out Severus. "I… I want to be inside of you," said Severus, his voice hoarse from the lust and need. His body was shaking. Harry was still so young for things like that, but at that moment, Severus didn't want to care about that.

When Severus said that, Harry's eyes became huge and his body grew hot again. A shiver of adrenaline and anxiety ran through his body. He felt very nervous and then he looked at Severus. Harry could see that Severus' body was shuddering a little bit. When their eyes met, Harry saw that Severus' eyes were begging Harry. Harry gulped and then licked his dry lips.

When Severus saw the nervous look on Harry's face he slapped himself mentally. But before he could say something, Harry said: "Okay." Harry's voice was quiet and small.

"Really?" asked Severus.

"Y-yeah," replied Harry shyly.

"I'll try to be as gentle as possible. And if it hurts, tell me, alright?" said Severus, because he needed to make sure that Harry understood that he could ask to stop things.

"O-Okay," stuttered Harry and then looked around, not knowing what to do next. "So… what should I do?"

"You just lie back and enjoy. Don't worry about anything else," said Severus with a smile on his face.

"Okay," said Harry again and lied onto his back.

Severus hovered over Harry's body, leaning down to kiss the boy. Harry returned Severus the kiss. Severus' lips them moved lower, licking Harry's neck and collarbone. His lips stopped at Harry's right nipple for a second, gently biting it. Harry started feeling good again and he could tell that he was hard again. Severus then started planting soft kisses down Harry's chest and stomach. Severus' heart was beating fast. He still couldn't believe that the boy gave him permission to do that to him. Severus' mind was screaming that Harry was still too young for that, but Severus' body gave in. He knew that he wouldn't be able to stop himself, even if he wanted to.

"Lift your legs, Harry," said Severus.

Harry slowly nodded and then did as he was told. When Harry lifted his eyes, Severus just couldn't tear his eyes away from Harry. Harry's blush deepened when he saw where Severus had his eyes on. At the sight of Harry, Severus' cock throbbed inside of his jeans. Severus swallowed hard and cleared his throat. He took the bottle of lubricant into his hands, against smearing the liquid over his fingers. He gently pushed two fingers inside Harry. Harry looked down surprised. Didn't say Severus that he was going to…? Severus' fingers moved and Harry arched his back.

"A-Aren't you going to…?" asked Harry.

"I will, I just need to prepare you so it won't hurt that much," answered Severus.

"Okay."

When Severus added the third finger in, Harry clenched his teeth in pain. He didn't want to complain about it, because he knew that if he would, Severus would stop. However, Severus noticed that the boy was in pain and he leaned down, planting soft kisses all over Harry's face. Severus pushed his fingers further in, stretching Harry properly.

"Does it still hurt?" asked Severus after a while.

"A little bit, but… don't stop," said Harry as the pain started turning in pleasure.

Severus nodded and started moving his fingers faster. He pulled his fingers out a little bit and then pushed them inside in. That time Severus' fingers brushed against Harry's prostate and Harry let out a loud moan. With his free hand, Severus clumsily opened the button and zipper of his jeans and pulled them down. Severus then took his aching erection out of his boxers and started slowly stroking himself. Harry's moans were like music to Severus' ears.

Harry watched as the man stroked himself. That aroused Harry even more. Severus' fingers felt amazing and Harry brought his own hard to his cock, slowly stroking himself. The pleasure in Harry's body started building up and he knew that his orgasm was approaching. Then suddenly, Severus removed his fingers and Harry opened his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Harry… But I can't wait any longer," said Severus with raspy voice.

"Okay," muttered Harry.

Severus coated his penis with a generous amount of lubricant and then bought his erection to Harry's entrance. Severus then pushed into Harry as gentle as he could. Harry's eyes grew huge as Severus' member started disappearing into him. When Harry felt that Severus started slowly sliding into him, he almost forgot how to breathe. Harry knew that it was going to be painful, but he didn't think that it would hurt that much. Harry tried to relax himself and he hoped that the pain would disappear quickly. Severus then pushed out a little and then back in. After a few moments, Severus' length was finally inside Harry.

The man was panting, resisting the urge to move. Severus looked down and saw the pained expression on Harry's face. Suddenly Severus felt worried when he saw that he was hurting Harry. "Harry, are you okay?" gently asked Severus.

Harry was breathing fast, still trying to relax. He knew that once he would relax himself, the pain would be milder. "It hurts," said Harry. Even though it hurt, Harry didn't want Severus to stop. Harry knew that he was ready for this, so he decided to go even further with Severus, despite the pain.

"Should I stop?"

"N-No, I'll be okay," said Harry.

Severus still wasn't completely sure if he should listen to Harry. Severus slowly nodded, his body shuddering. It felt amazing inside Harry. Harry was so tight that it almost hurt. "T-Then, just relax," said Severus, his voice trembling.

Harry nodded and started taking in deep breaths. Severus felt how Harry finally started relaxing around him and he smiled. Harry returned Severus a shy smile. Severus kissed Harry again. The pain in Harry's body started slowly disappearing and the desire of Severus moving his hips came into Harry's mind.

"Does it still hurt?"

"A little bit… But not as much as before."

"I'll move now, okay?" gently asked Severus.

"Yeah," asked Harry, feeling his heart beat rising.

Severus slowly rocked his hips and Harry wrapped his legs around Severus' hips. As Severus was slowly moving his hips, he leaned down and locked his lips with Harry's. Harry returned him a feverish kiss and Severus groaned when Harry gently bit his tongue. That sent a new wave of adrenaline through his body. At that moment, Severus felt so alive and he didn't want that feeling to stop. He quickened up the pace a little bit.

Harry bit his lip when he felt how the man started moving faster. Harry closed his eyes when Severus touched his chest. He couldn't believe it; everything that the man did felt amazing. Severus then grabbed Harry's cock and started stroking the boy. The pain mixed with pleasure felt so good to Harry. He started moving as well, earning a loud moan from Severus. With his free hand, Severus grabbed Harry's hips and started moving really fast.

Harry wanted to say something, but he couldn't even put together a sentence at that moment. Severus took his member out and just as Harry was about to make a comment about it, the man slammed in with wild force and Harry forgot how to breathe. Harry wrapped his arms around Severus, while the man plunged in deeper. Harry held Severus close to him as the man was thrusting hard into him. Severus was completely lost in pleasure. He started stroking Harry faster and faster. Harry dug his nails into Severus' back, knowing that he was close to the edge.

"Good… so good," were the words that left Harry's mouth.

The bedroom was filled with Harry's loud moans and Severus' fast breathing. The pain was almost gone completely. Harry felt so good and so full, he wished that that feeling would never stop. The man thrust into Harry furiously, hitting Harry's prostate. At that moment it became all too much for Harry. He pushed hard into Severus' hand. Severus' body tensed up as Harry came. Severus also knew that he was approaching the edge. He wrapped his arms around Harry, holding the boy so tight that it became hard to breathe. Harry felt that Severus' body was shivering and he knew that Severus' orgasm was approaching.

"Harry… I'm going to come," said Severus. He thrust a few more times and then Harry felt that something even hotter entered his body. Severus then pulled himself out of Harry, collapsing onto the bed, next to Harry.

For the next few minutes, the two of them stayed silent, gasping for air. Harry felt completely exhausted and his eyes started to feel really heavy. Severus looked at Harry, making sure that Harry was feeling alright. He saw that Harry was slowly drifting to sleep and he chuckled. He whispered a cleansing spell, cleaning them up.

"Harry, this was amazing. You were stunning," said Severus slowly and turned to Harry. There was a huge smile on Severus' face and he felt incredibly happy.

"Yeah, this was amazing," agreed Harry. "This was my best birthday. Thank you," muttered Harry, who was already half asleep.

"I love you Harry."

"Me too," muttered then Harry and finally drifted into sleep. Severus chuckled yet again, hugged Harry and closed his eyes. Yes, that summer was really going to be amazing.
