what was he, and exactly what you are

by fyiagcg

i said 'then i'll go' was a once in forever thing. but damn the characters, hermione wanted her say and severus wanted more kissing. so here's both. in the sequel to 'then i'll go' called 'what was he', and its sequel, called "exactly what you are"

Ok. I claimed that 'then I'll go' was the beginning and the end. But then I started thinking. And we know that's never good. So, I wrote some more. But it turned out to be about 180 words. So, I broke it up and wrote even ::more::. And low and behold, out popped a sequel, and its sequel.

WHAT WAS HE?

What was going on? She'd finally told him the truth. She had thought she'd never see him again. He was kissing her. She was... unbelievable? Well, then what was he? She pulled away, just far enough to have her lips back to herself.

"You! What are you...? You are... you are..."

She couldn't finish, she had no more words. Until he took her lips again.

What did she want to say? What did she want to call him? Was that his tongue? No, focus. What was he? This kiss was... unbelievable. That's it, she thought. Say that; 'You are unbelievable.'

EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE

Her mind was going mad, flipping through her mental thesaurus, under Severus. What was he? Lovely. Wretched. Going to be the death of her. The man she loved. Perfect. A bastard. Unbelievable. No! An amazing kisser. Just a dream. Anything but unbelievable.

She pulled away once more.

"You are..."

Again he waited, and again she was unable to finish her statement. She couldn't repeat his words, could she? Unbelievable. Maybe they both were. Maybe this all was. So, deciding it was time for her to stop thinking; she leaned in and told him exactly what he was.

"You are... unbelievable"
