Warnings: Some kissing…. that's about it…And SEV! In black boxers!

The cold December wind blew chills up Harry's spine; "Damn…" he mumbled looking over at the castle which stood in the distance.

Harry left his place under the tree by the lake and trekked up toward the castle 'Sev is not going to be happy' he thought, finally reaching the castle doors. He stepped through the entrance and shivered shaking snow off of his coat. The castle was decorated with holly and mistletoe, and soft carols could be heard playing throughout the place. 'It's Christmas Eve and I am late!' he thought urgently, making his way to the dungeons.

He stopped at a large portrait of a vampire "Blasphemy" He uttered and the portrait swung open to reveal a long hallway. Harry walked down the hall, and into a large open sitting room only lit by the glow of a warm fire. There was a large cushiony couch sitting in front of it, along with two chairs (that looked much like the couch) an antique glass topped coffee table and a Persian rug on the floor.

On the far right side of the room was a door which led to a large master suite. 'Where's Sev?' He thought taking off his cloak and scarf and hanging it up on a stud near the hall. He walked over to the door that led into the bedroom and cracked it open peering inside. "Severus?" he called out meekly knowing his lover would surly be angry at his lateness. "You are very late." A gruff voice answered. "I'm sorry…I lost track of time." Harry responded opening the door and walking into the dimly lit room. "Yes well your ability to tell time has always been lacking hasn't it" the silky voice said again, finally being matched with its owner.

A tall, lean, black haired man lay on the bed in a pair of black boxers, reading. His glasses hung of his slightly hooked nose. "I said I was sorry, you don't have to be all huffy" Harry said walking over to Severus and sitting on the end of the bed. "Yes well let it be you to be the one to loose track of time on the most important day of the year!" Severus said angrily "And I'm the old man here!" he said slamming his book closed. "You're not old Sev!" Harry said looking aghast. "Don't play sweet with me, I am still angry with you." He said switching off the light.

Harry heard rustling of sheets and a slight muffled yawn "Se-v" He wined scooting over to his side of the large bed and sitting on his knees facing the older man. Severus mumbled something in which seamed to be a response. "Sev…Please" he said with a slight whimper.

Severus sighed and turned over pulling Harry to him. Harry smiled and cuddled into the warm chest of the older man; breathing in his warm musky sent that only Severus seemed to have. "I really am sorry you know" Harry whispered kissing Severus's collar bone. "I know…" Severus said kissing the top of Harry's head. "I love you Sev." Harry whispered

"I love you too Harry" Severus said quietly "Oh and Sev…." Harry added "Yes Harry?" Severus asked. "Happy anniversary" Severus smiled "Happy anniversary Harry"
