The Halls of the Blind

Chapter Twelve

Giving In


Everything has to break. Everyone has to give in, give up, let life win.


A/N: sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex... did I say it enough times? 0:-D Um... I don't know where the line between R and NC-17 is... but I'm labeling this as R... if you don't much care for guyxguy sex... just wait for the next chapter...

Cerulean Sky: I had myself a little worried as well, but, yes, alls good in the end. And thank you... I like my snape too...

frulie: yeah, it's b/c of that interlude I uploaded... it set off the numbering... I love my characters too.

Agar: o.O lol, that's so funny!



Severus's eyes narrowed. "While the sentiment is endearing, I want to know how much Halliy-Jayde told you about me to get you to say that."


Harry blinked, then smiled. "She really didn't tell me anything, just gave me pointers. It helps that I wasn't planning on going anywhere."


"She didn't tell you anything?"


"Not really."


Severus raised an eyebrow. "'Not really'?"


"She said that it might not be only the fear of hurting me, but the fear of being hurt as well."


"She said that, did she?"


"Severus, leave her be. She's just trying to repay you."


Severus raised an eyebrow. "Repay me?"


"For pushing her at Charlie. For helping her. She just wants you to be happy."


"And she thinks I'll be happy with you."


Harry snorted and said with a smile, "Apparently, though only heaven knows why you'd be happy with 'The Boy Who Lived'."


"How is it you can pursue something with no fear?"


Harry thought for a moment. "I'm afraid to live without it."


"Understandable, I think."


Harry smiled and turned toward Severus. "So, do I get to kiss you now?"


"Impertinent brat."


Harry smiled more as he moved toward Severus. "Greasy git."


"Are you sure?"


Harry sighed. "Severus, if y-"


Severus's mouth covered his, silencing him most delightfully.


Harry parted his lips with a soft sigh, and ran his tongue over Severus's bottom lip. He coaxed Severus's lips open and twined his tongue with Severus's, a small moan making itself heard in the process.


Harry's hands ran over Severus's shoulders and back and through his hair. Then down over his shoulders again and down his arms. Harry pulled on Severus's arms, bringing him closer.


Harry broke the kiss, panting for air. He kissed the side of Severus's neck and nipped his ear. He smiled as Severus groaned and kissed him. Harry moved his hands to the front of Severus's robes and attacked the buttons with a vengeance.


Severus broke the kiss and stilled Harry's fingers and said. "Harry, I thought you said you didn't want sex."


"Hm, did I say that?" Harry asked as he licked the side of Severus's neck.


Severus's lips quirked in slight amusement. "Yes, you did."


"Well, I didn't mean it quite like that." Harry nipped his ear. "I want you, the sex is just a bonus."


"Ah, I see."


"Good, can we get on with the sex now?"


Severus let go of Harry's fingers and pulled back, moving to get off the couch.


Before he got too far off, Harry had locked his arms and legs around Severus. "Severus," he whined, "don't leave."


"Foolish boy, I'm not leaving, per say. I'm trying to move this to the bedroom."


"Why?"


"Aren't you being a bit petulant?"


Harry just pouted.


"There is such a thing as a bed, Potter."


Faint color painted Harry's cheeks. "Oh."


"Yes, oh." He managed to stand with Harry still clinging to him. "The bed is more spacious, softer, and much more comfortable." He moved to the bedroom.


Harry chuckled. "Too old to do it on the floor?"


"Do you want rug burn and bruises?"


"Hm, I guess not."


There was a hiss from the portrait on the wall in the bedroom. "What are you doing?"


"What does it look like, Shenisto?"


"Are you sure, little man-snake?"


"Oh, hush up, if I wasn't sure, it wouldn't have gotten this far."


"I will go visit with the others."


Severus quirked an eyebrow as the snake slid out of the portrait. He set Harry on the bed. "Do I want to know?"


"Dunno," Harry said. He grabbed Severus and pulled him up onto the bed between his legs and kissed him. "Less talk, more everything else."


"Very well," came Severus's response. He then muttered a few words and the suddenness of flesh on flesh made Harry gasp.


Severus's hands roamed lightly over Harry's torso and sides, as his mouth pressed kisses down Harry's neck.


Harry tilted his head further back and let out a whimper. Severus stopped, and pulled back slightly.


"Nonono," Harry said as he reached to pull Severus back down. "Good whimper, good whimper."


"Harry-"


"Trust me, it was a good whimper."


Severus went back to Harry's neck and started kissing his way down. His lips brushed over Harry's collar bones and he delivered a small nip to the boy's shoulder.


Harry arched up into Severus and gave a half-sob. "Severus..."


Severus only smirked and moved to Harry's nipples as his hands slid down to the boy's hips. He worried one nub, then the other. "What?"


"Please..."


Severus kissed down Harry's fluttering stomach. "Please what?"


"Please," he repeated.


Without preamble, Severus swallowed him to the root, which caused Harry to let out a scream and arch off the bed, emptying himself into Severus's mouth.


Severus laid a kiss on Harry's stomach and moved up, pressing a kiss to Harry's mouth.


Harry eagerly returned the kiss, tasting himself in Severus's mouth. They broke apart. "That was- I mean- oh wow."


Severus smirked, his hands lightly running over Harry.


"More," was Harry's simple request.


"Harry, are you sure?"


"If you ask me if I'm sure one more time, Severus, I'm cursing you. I won't go away, but I'll make you think I'm a flower you're trying to pollinate."


Severus's lips quirked. "You do have creative threats, don't you?" (1)


Harry didn't get a chance to answer as Severus's lips covered his own and managed to leave him breathless and hard again.


"Accio," Severus said, and a moment later, something smacked into the middle of his palm.


"What's that?"


"Something that will act as lube."


"Oh. Ok."


"Harry..."


Harry glowered slightly in Severus's general vicinity, thinking of where he left his wand. "You're not going to ask me if I'm sure, are you?"


Severus smiled. "No. I'd rather not think of you as a flower. No, it's just, you never did say if they ever used anything."


He stopped trying to figure out where he left his wand. He shook his head. "Oh. No, they never did."


"Harry..."


"Severus, please!" Harry pulled Severus to him and kissed him hard, once. "Just, please."


Harry spread his legs for Severus and Severus kissed him lightly. Severus prepared Harry slowly, watching his face for any signs of pain. By the time that was done, Harry was sobbing Severus's name again, begging more.


Severus slicked himself up and moved between Harry's legs. "Harry, this might hurt."


"I don't care, Severus, just... just, please! Now! Please!"


Severus pushed in, and Harry's hands tightened on Severus's shoulder, finger nails digging into skin.


He stopped. "Harry?"


Harry shook his head, and pulled at Severus. "Don't stop." Was Harry's simple request... well, order.


Severus started moving again, hitting that spot in Harry that made him cry out and beg for more, harder, and faster. And Severus gave it to him. Harry was the first to give in, crying himself hoarse with his release. A final push and, much quieter about it, Severus followed him.


They laid on Harry's bed, legs tangled, bodies sated, as Harry thought about the next day.


"The potion will be finished tomorrow," said Severus, almost reading Harry's thoughts.


Harry sighed. "I know."


"What are you going to do?"


"What should I do?"


"It's not for me to tell you, Harry. You need to make a decision about this, not let someone else tell you what to do."


Harry sighed and snuggled closer. "Let's just wait till tomorrow, and see." Harry kissed Severus's chest. "Stay tonight?"


Severus kissed the top of his head. "I'll stay till you're asleep."


Harry sighed. "Can we move back to the couch, then? I can't sleep by myself in this bed."


"Why not?"


"I'm just not used to this much room... It's too big."


"Alright." Severus picked Harry up and carried him out to the couch. He placed Harry on the couch and sat down behind Harry, letting Harry lean back against him.


True to his word, Severus stayed till Harry was asleep.


A/N: Eh-hehehehe... *rubs back of neck* some parts detailed, some not... (I think it turned out ok for one of my first 'sex' scenes...) and only six pages... so yeah... next chapter Harry decides if he'll take the potion or not... and, I think after that chapter, there's the epilogue... the story is coming to an end... unless there's something else you guys want to see...


1) I got this from a different fic, but changed, a lot, I guess. The actual lines were:

"Ah," Snape moaned, and again as Harry let his teeth graze ever so gently over the head of his cock. "The devil is...no gentleman after all, I fear; you are... most unkind, my young fiend, to make me believe...that you in any way--"

"Severus." Harry took his mouth away momentarily. "You'll stop this particular train of complaint now, d'you hear me? Or I'll hex you. I won't go away, but I'll make you think you're a daisy I'm trying to pollinate."

"You do have rather creative threats. Oh, my..."

If you know what story that came from and who the author was, can you let me know... so I can give them some credit? Thanks linelen. It was: A Little Touch Of Harry In the Night by Amanuensis. I reread the copy I saved to my hd... I don't know the link to it, but, at least we now know who it's by!! :-D
