Harry curled up beside Severus on the couch and watched the fire crackling. They had revived Molly and after much encouragement to the new couple sent them off for rest before they returned the next day. They had of course not argued and hurriedly made their way upstairs were Harry pulled on his Gryffindor bravery and snuggled up to a surprised potion master.
Harry sighed in contentment. Since Severus didn't push him away he could only assume that the other man would want a closer relationship. "Does this…" He began to say.
At the same time Severus brought up his courage and tried to talk. Did Harry immediately curling up by his side mean he wanted to be something more then just a friend? "Are we…"
They looked at each other for a minute and laughed nervously. "Only Merlin I am so nervous." Harry stated. Then he took a big breath and looked Severus clearly in the eyes. "I liked that." Harry blurted out finally while blushing profusely.
Severus just looked in amazement at Harry. "Could we ever be…" He looked down at Harry who was still blushing lightly.
"Do you want to?" He asked fearfully. Harry pulled away lightly.
Severus just pulled the young man back to where he had been. "Do you?" He asked quietly.
Harry blushed again lightly. "Would you be scared away if I said I've been trying for the past few weeks to work up the courage to try and give you some small hint to say I fancied you?" He announced insecurely while also trying to hide himself in Severus' side.
Severus himself was shocked at the announcement. Harry wanted him. He wasn't just caught up in the moment. He actually had been thinking of Severus the way Severus had wanted Harry to.
Harry was fearful when the older man didn't say anything. "I'm sorry Severus. I'll… I'll leave." He said before extracting himself from the stunned older man.
Severus didn't even notice Harry was moving away until the sudden warmth was gone. Quickly he shot his hand out and enveloped it around the wrist and pulled Harry back towards him. He leaned over and captured the young man's lips once again. Taking it slowly he just brought his lips to the other. He wanted this to be perfect. For all of their kisses together to be perfect. After he couldn't take it anymore he dared his tongue to trace a part against the welcoming lips.
