Because I love to lay here lazy

We could close the curtains

Pretend like there's no world outside.

"No, ma'am. We are getting up right now. Severus Snape does not sleep in," he said firmly, trying to sit up. Hermione laughed, grabbed him, and pulled him back down onto the bed next to her. He groaned and tried to sit up, but she was stronger than he thought.

"Come on, Sev, please? It's Saturday! We could just lie here for a while longer. What do you have to do today?!" she exclaimed, rolling on top of him and sitting on his hips. She smiled inwardly as she felt him tense under her.

"What do I have to do? I have to work on the Wolfsbane for Lupin, I have to work on another potion for Dumbledore, plus we need to clean," he said, annoyed.

"You can do that later! And you'll have all of tomorrow too! I'll help you with the potions and the cleaning!" she said, laying her chin on his chest and looking into his eyes. "Please?" she begged, her brown eyes reminding him strongly of a puppy. He sighed in defeat. She squealed and kissed him hard on the lips. He felt his annoyance melt away as he kissed her back, pressing his lips against hers with a passionate force.

She rolled over and pulled him on top of her. He looked down at her with a gentleness he never knew he possessed. They hadn't been together very long; she had just graduated and the summer had just begun. They hadn't even slept together yet (except literally… she stayed in his quarters every night). They hadn't even said "I love you," but Severus knew he did. Every day he spent with her, he felt his feelings for her grow. He only hoped she felt the same way. He dared not express his feelings yet; he couldn't risk scaring her off.

As he sat there looking at her, Hermione was growing impatient. She wanted him to kiss her again; she had never been with any man who made her feel the way Severus Snape did. She knew she loved him. But did he feel the same way? She couldn't tell. She had never been the kind of girl to just come out with what she was feeling. She decided to wait for him to say it first.

But at this moment, all they wanted was to be together, and each one knew the other felt the same. And that was all that mattered.

He leaned down and kissed her neck. She moaned quietly, putting her hands on his chest and unbuttoning his black silk pajama top. She slipped it off of him, admiring his chiseled body he always hid under his layers of robes. He smiled and smoothly pulled her spaghetti strap tank top over her shoulders. She was breathing evenly, her chest rising up and down with every breath. He had the sudden urge to just hold her. He lowered himself next to her on the bed, pulling her body close to his.

They simply lay there, wrapped in each other's arms.

Maybe sleeping in isn't so bad, Severus thought to himself as Hermione snuggled into his chest and fell asleep.

It's just so easy

When the whole world fits inside of your arms
