All I can say is there's going to be some serious drama coming up. I have some awesome plans for the future!
Harry woke the next morning feeling refreshed and excited even though he was still convinced the past two days were a dream and Snape, well it was Severus now, could still snap at any moment. He rolled his head from side to side as he lay in bed, listening out for the shower but it was a struggle to hear it from across the hall. He thought about the last couple of days and realized that Snape had many different personalities, he snorted at this thought, thinking that he could almost pass as a schizophrenic. He had witnessed Severus's teacher side, his caring side and now his romantic side and wondered how many more he was going to discover over the course of the year.
He turned towards his door as he heard another door open and then close and he wondered if that meant the man was out of the shower. Only one way to figure that out and he jumped out of bed, no longer caring that he was only in his boxers and opened his door to find the bathroom one open. He didn't know why he felt disappointed that he wasn't going to see the man half naked, he supposed that he shouldn't get ahead of himself even though it was like the man had awakened some sexual beast within him and he desperately wanted to have a repeat of the day before.
He had been standing in his doorway staring at the bathroom goofily for a while without realizing and suddenly Severus appeared from his bedroom wearing his black pants and white shirt, said white shirt Harry decided looked rather good on him, but he preferred it off him even more. He smirked.
"Someone's in a good mood this morning." Severus said coming towards Harry and he instinctively took a step backwards.
Severus stopped in his tracks and cocked his head at Harry as if wanting an explanation of why he backed away, but all he got was Harry's head ducking and blushing beautifully. He smiled, it seemed as though Harry was still a little shy when it came to this and he stepped forward, this time Harry didn't move and Severus put a couple of fingers on his chin to lift his head.
"You needn't feel shy, Harry." He said and Harry locked eyes with him.
"It's all so new." He said quietly and Severus nodded in understanding.
"I know." He gave Harry a small smile and then cupped his face.
"Go and shower, then breakfast. You need to eat." He continued although a little more authoritative and Harry sidestepped him and made for the shower.
It had been nearly half an hour before Harry emerged from the shower and Severus looked at him in interest as he came to sit in front of the man. His cheeks looked flushed and he had a wry smile on his face as he grabbed some toast and started eating it.
"Have I missed something?" Severus commented as he flipped through a letter and Harry looked up.
"No, sir?" Harry said questioningly, he wasn't too sure what the man was meaning.
"I thought you had drowned in there." He said offhandedly and this time he met Harry's gaze but Harry blushed hard and looked away.
"Ahh." Severus said with understanding and he then heard the scraping of Harry's chair as the boy bolted from the room.
Severus sighed, he wasn't going to go after Harry and the boy had eaten something at least. He shook his head in somewhat amusement as he visualized the boy's face and came to the conclusion that he was going to be teaching the boy a lot this break, and it wasn't tutoring for his classes.
Harry had disappeared for the rest of the morning to his room to do his homework and Severus had retreated into his study. There was a pop in the study around noon and Severus turned to see Karsha bowing in front of him announcing that lunch was ready. He thanked her and she popped away as he stood and walked out into the landing before turning towards Harry's door and knocking gently.
"Yes?" Severus heard from the other side of the door and he walked in to find Harry at his desk that was covered in bits of parchment and books.
"What are you doing?" Severus said coming to stand beside him and Harry looked back down at his work.
"Potions." He said simply and tried to cover up his essay he was working on.
Severus slapped his hands away and pulled the piece of parchment up so he could read it and his eyebrow arched as he started reading it.
"It's just a draft, really, you don't have to…"
"Shh." Severus said smirking and then gave it back.
"It's good, Harry, I am merely curious. Now come, lunch is ready." He continued and Harry stood to follow the man out.
They sat eating lunch in silence and Harry was deep in thought as he had the information for his potions essay jumping round his head as he tried to make connections with things he'd read. He was so lost in thought that he hadn't heard Severus speaking until he felt a presence in his head and he tried to shake his head to get rid of it. It was only then that he'd realized that Severus had tried Legilimency on him and he frowned.
"You didn't." He accused.
"My apologies, but you were so far in your mind you couldn't hear me." Severus replied arching an eyebrow.
"Oh, sorry. What were you saying?" Harry said and Severus snorted.
"I should be honored that it was potions taking up your attention however, I was asking what your plans for the afternoon were. I am heading into town, so if you would like to come you are more than welcome."
"I was just going to do homework, so yeah I'll come with you." Harry smiled and the man nodded.
"Very well." Severus said and stood with lunch finished.
Harry stayed at the table as the man disappeared into his lab and looked down at his plate. His stomach was doing some interesting things, flipping to be exact, as the man had spoken to him with such civility and casualness. He'd been a little disappointed that the man hadn't initiated anything since the day before and he was wondering if Severus was having second thoughts. He hadn't mentioned anything either, just been ridiculously handsome and amusing to which Harry found frustrating.
He stood suddenly and went up to his room to grab his hoodie, it was cool outside so tee and jeans wasn't going to cut it. When he re emerged from his room and looked down the stairs, Severus was coming out of the lab and turned to walk up the stairs.
"Ready?" He said as he ascended and Harry nodded, looking down.
"Let me get my coat and we'll go." Severus continued and walked past him.
They walked in silence as they neared the town center and Harry had his hands in his pockets. He wanted to be close to the man, maybe hold his hand, have him put his arm around his shoulders and pull him close. He didn't dare do such things however in town in fear of the man getting upset with him. Again, he was so lost in thought that he failed to see that Severus was watching him from the side but he didn't do anything about it and continued towards the shops.
They walked into a store and it was the first time since they'd left the house that Harry looked around at his surroundings. He frowned as he looked around, if he wasn't mistaken the shop looked like an Apothecary and he looked over to Severus to say something when a man came out and he started talking to him. Harry walked over to hear what they were saying and guessed that he had in fact been right, but he couldn't understand how this could be, Severus had said that this was a Muggle town.
"Severus?" He whispered when the store worker had disappeared into the backroom.
"Hmm." Severus said looking at a catalogue.
"Is this a Wizarding shop?" He whispered again and Severus nodded.
"It is, quite handy for someone like me." He replied not really paying attention and Harry nodded walking back around the shop as he waited for the man.
He was looking out the window as he stood in the shop and took note of the other shops around. He decided to venture outside so he could get a better look and was surprised to see that it was actually rather busy considering they were in a small township. He frowned as he looked around to see if there was anything of interest, but there actually wasn't and he shoved his hands in his pockets as he continued down the street.
It was at the end of the block when he stopped and came to a little Muggle park that had swings and a seesaw and he went over to sit on the swings as he watched everyone busying themselves with their shopping. Well, it is Christmas, he remembered and then something hit him, he needed presents for his friends.
"Shit." He said aloud and he heard a lady behind him gasp as she pulled away her child. He'd sworn he was alone.
Then he thought of something else, a present for Severus, although he had no idea what to get the man but he knew it had to be something good seeing as the man had given him such a special birthday present. Speaking of which, he pulled the necklace up from inside his tee and held the pendant in his hand. He found it oddly comforting to squeeze the pendant in his hand and now that there was something more to their relationship other than student and teacher he felt that it meant so much more. He sighed, then he looked around, he couldn't see anyone although he spied a tree not too far from where he was, so looking around as he neared it he transformed into Jade and padded off towards the town center again to look for Severus. He hoped the man wouldn't be angry for walking off, but as he came to the store he noted that the man was still scanning through the same catalogue and talking with the shop worker. He snorted, as best as a cat could snort and rolled his eyes before wandering across the road to the other stores and exploring.
It was another half an hour before Severus re emerged from the store and Harry wandered over to him as he could see him frowning and looking in all directions. He butted his head against the man's leg and saw Severus bend down and pick him up from around his middle then bringing him close to his chest. Harry meowed and rubbed his head against the man's chest and heard a little chuckle coming from the man.
"Thought you'd wandered off." He said quietly and Harry made eye contact with him and cocking his head to the side.
Their walk home was uneventful and when they were inside Harry changed back and made for the stairs with the intention of going to his room. This action made Severus frown and look on with interest, as Harry had made no move to initiate contact or even speak of what was happening between them. He'd given Harry space for the morning, so he thought that he should go and see what was eating him, as he'd been awfully quiet on their walk into town, and then of course Severus couldn't speak cat on their way back. However he decided against it and thought to mention it at a better time, perhaps even after dinner when they retired to the living room like they always did. He smiled, it was simple actions that showed Harry's naivety to this kind of thing and he wondered if there had been any occasion apart from the boy's in London and potentially Blaise where Harry had been intimate. He shuddered when he thought about Blaise, he didn't know why but the student gave him an odd vibe.
The rest of the afternoon ticked by, Severus was in the study and Harry was doing his homework but he was stuck on a combination of ingredients for a potion and he wasn't sure how they connected. He was getting to the point where he was running out of ideas and options on how to look for the answer so, standing he took his textbook and knocked on the door to the study. Severus called that he could enter and he stood awkwardly in the doorway as the man spun round in his armchair to look at him.
"You may come in further, Harry." He said amused and Harry blushed as he took a couple of steps into the room.
"What can I do for you?" He continued and Harry looked up at him holding his textbook up as well.
"I'm stuck." He said and the man turned in his seat putting his quill down and looking back at Harry expectantly.
"If it is potions, you should realize that I cannot give you the answers." He started and Harry nodded in understanding.
"However, if you were looking for something to read," he raised his eyebrow at Harry suggestively, "then I would recommend Potions: Meddling with the Unknown, that may help you find what you're looking for."
Harry looked at the man in disbelief, is he trying to be so obvious? He thought, a smile slowly creeping across his face.
"Okay, and where would one find such book?" He asked and the man pointed to the door. Harry nodded and smiled.
"Thanks, sir." He said and went to leave.
"Wait." Severus said and when Harry looked at him he made a come hither motion and Harry walked slowly over to him, placing the book on the man's desk.
Taking his wrist, Severus pulled him and he ended up sitting sideways on the man's lap, his arm grabbing Severus's shoulder so he wouldn't fall off and they locked eyes. Harry felt a hand on his knee and suddenly he felt his stomach knotting and something pleasant bubbling inside him.
"Is everything all right, Harry? You seem awfully quiet today." Severus spoke softly, and Harry had to stop himself shuddering at the jolt of pleasure that he felt in his back.
"F-Fine." He stumbled and blushed looking away.
"I don't believe you." Severus whispered and applied pressure to Harry's knee.
They locked eyes again but Harry had to look away, he couldn't understand why he was feeling so shy about this, although he supposed he was nervous about mentioning anything about it. How was he supposed to go about it? Ask for a kiss? Ask the man to work his sweet spots and bring him to the brink of an orgasm? He just didn't know, and seeing as he'd never done anything like this before, he was relying heavily on Severus initiating contact. Although, the fact he was currently sitting on the man's lap, he suspected that he would be fine to kiss the man…
"Harry?" Severus's softly spoken voice coming through his overthinking brain and he shook his head, before focusing on the man he was sitting on.
"Sorry." He mumbled and the man narrowed his eyes.
"Talk to me." Severus sighed and turned Harry's head so they were looking at each other. However at Harry's look of confusion he clarified.
"I said before that we must be honest and you have to let me know what you're thinking and feeling. I refuse to take advantage of you and if you are feeling uneasy about this, you need to communicate that with me. There is no judgment here." He finished and stroked Harry's cheek with his thumb.
Harry took a deep breath and nodded that he understood.
"I feel upset." Harry said and Severus frowned, looking genuinely concerned.
"Why do you feel upset?" He asked and Harry knitted his brows together as he thought about his answer.
"I feel upset, because you haven't kissed me today." Harry looked away and blushed fiercely when he realized how it sounded but Severus didn't seem to mind and he chuckled a little before turning Harry's head back.
"My apologies, let me fix that." He said and then leaned up to capture Harry's lips in a soothing kiss.
When they pulled away Harry was smiling and he nuzzled Severus's neck breathing in his scent. This is what he'd wanted, to be close with the man and to feel the yummy feeling in his stomach whenever the man was being nice towards him. He felt an arm wrap around his shoulders and he was given a little squeeze before Severus patted his knee and he moved his head away to look at the man.
"Better?" He quipped and Harry nodded.
"Excellent. Now, as much as I would enjoy to continue this I have work to do." Severus continued and Harry went to get off but found Severus holding him back.
"Later though." He smirked and Harry grinned at the prospect before nodding and jumping up and walking towards the door.
Later though, promised so much, and the way Severus looked at him, his body felt like it had almost caught fire. There was excitement building within Harry, so much so that he forgot to go and find the book Severus had mentioned and crashed down on his bed, grinding his hardening erection into the duvet. He was surprised, he hadn't realized that so little time with the man could have contributed to such strong physical reactions, but he wasn't exactly complaining and with a cheeky smile he put his hands into his jeans and wrapped a hand around his hard member.
After dinner, Harry couldn't help but smile and he was extremely nervous. Severus had picked up on this change in Harry's magic and he was very much interested in the way the boy was acting around him. It seemed as though the anticipation was growing and it was turning him on greatly, knowing that Harry was more than willing to submit to his attention. There was always that doubt in the back of his mind however because he knew that he shouldn't be doing this, shouldn't be sucking Harry in like he was and making him craving his touch. Harry had a chance at a happier life now that he wasn't with his relatives and yet here Severus was, complicating it for him and making him keep secrets.
Taking a large mouthful of red wine he looked across the table at Harry who had his head down trying to suppress a giant smile, and he could tell that the boy was getting fidgety. He had to smile to himself, putting all negative thoughts to the side and standing. This action causing Harry to look up with wonder and excitement clearly etched into every pore on his face and Severus held out his hand for Harry to take it. He wasn't going to venture to Harry's bedroom tonight, he thought that they could spend some time getting to know each other first, or at least resist the temptation to go further than Harry could handle at this stage.
Severus had to chuckle lightly at Harry's actions when he went to sit down and Harry all but leaped onto his lap straddling him, but he didn't mind at all and he let his hands rest on Harry's hips. There were only a couple of seconds between them sitting and Harry leaning forward with the intention of kissing him so he let it happen and encouraged Harry to lead. It was quite clear that he was inexperienced and after a minute Severus took control and snaked a hand around the back of Harry's neck pulling him close. It had the desired effect as Harry let out a soft moan and his hips thrust forward a little.
It was amazing how quickly Harry became hard but then again, Severus knew that it was because he was a young and hormonal teenager so it really should have come as no surprise. However he was genuinely surprised at his own reactions and he almost felt that he needed to reprimand himself for such lack of control. He had to squash that thought right then and there because with Harry he knew it would be a fruitless task, the boy was simply addictive and with his lack of experience it made him even more attractive.
He was drawn from his thoughts when he felt Harry's hands on the buttons of his shirt and he went about doing the same, but more slowly so Harry could think about what was happening. They broke away from the kiss when Harry pulled away and Severus scanned his face as he watched Harry's eyes raking over his now exposed chest. Harry reached a hand towards Severus's chest as his eyes scanned every detail and he combed his fingers across the light splattering of hair that was on his chest. Harry blushed and looked away when he realized Severus was watching him and he went to nuzzle his nose on the crook of the man's neck before Severus stopped him and they locked eyes.
"Do not be embarrassed. I don't mind you doing this." He smiled and Harry's eyes shone with hope for a split second.
"It's actually rather calming." Severus continued, whispering this time into Harry's ear and he felt a shiver go through Harry's slender body.
Harry put his hands on Severus's chest and using the closeness he started giving the man little kisses on his neck, trying to achieve what Severus had done for him yesterday. As he did this he could feel the man's hardening erection twitching every now and then making him feel a little more confident but it was getting more difficult to stay still and he wanted to whip out his cock and stroke himself. He suddenly felt Severus bite him on the neck and he moaned loudly and decided that he couldn't hold out any longer so he leaned back and fiddled with the button on his jeans feeling no shame in taking hold of his throbbing erection and stroking it as he looked into the man's eyes.
Severus took hold of Harry's head with both hands and pulled their lips together as they kissed, getting steadily more heated the longer they sat like this with Harry pumping his cock hard. Both of them were moaning, although Harry more so and he gasped when Severus moved a hand, placing it on Harry's one that was stroking his erection.
"You want to do that with mine?" He purred in Harry's ear and Harry closed his eyes, thrusting forward at the man's words.
He took a couple of deep breaths to try and compose himself before he even thought about pulling back so he could look at Severus as nerves suddenly got the better of him and the excitement he was feeling increasing dramatically. He did pull back though eventually and then looked down between them, licking his lips at the thought of touching Severus's erection. He'd only seen it briefly the day before so the prospect of seeing it again and now touching it made him incredibly nervous.
"You don't have to." Severus continued but Harry locked eyes with him and shook his head.
He moved his hands, one from Severus's chest and from his own erection and set about undoing the man's pants. His hands were shaking a little from both excitement and uncertainty but he figured that Severus would put him in the right direction. He gasped again when he Severus's erection popped out from the confines of the man's pants and his eyes shone with eagerness to give pleasure like he'd been receiving. He heard Severus's breath hitch as he wrapped an unsure hand around the base and when he looked at his face, his eyes were hooded and lips parted. They locked eyes and Harry was given a quick nod that everything was okay, so he slowly moved his hand up and then back down. It felt weird doing this to someone else as he'd only worked his own gear for the entirety of his life and the feeling was hard to explain. He didn't realize that giving someone else pleasure could create more pleasure for ones self, and he was already had a dribble of come forming at the tip of his penis as he stroked the man he was sitting on.
He was rewarded with a low growl from Severus and Harry couldn't stop himself wrapping his other hand around himself and stroking both of them off. For Harry who was somewhat clumsy and uncoordinated, he thought he was going pretty well and he was rewarded with a moan from Severus before the man snaked a hand around his neck and pulled him into a searing kiss, one that was not sensual and soft but primal and aggressive. However, both of them responded to the kiss and it wasn't long before Harry tensed and moaned loudly, his kiss getting slow and sloppy as he rode out his orgasm. This was what sent Severus to the brink and thrusting his hips up into Harry's hand groaned as his orgasm ripped through him.
Neither of them moved after their climax and both of them were panting as they regained their composure. Harry pulled back however when he felt Severus's cock softening and he put his own away before looking into Severus's eye with a hazy smile plastered in his face. Severus let his thumb ghost over Harry's lower lip before he put righted himself and zipped up his pants.
"Who knew you were so good with your hands." Severus mused as he pulled Harry close and moved him over to sit beside him.
"W-was it, okay?" Harry said unsurely and looked up at Severus to gauge his reaction.
"Did it not have the desired outcome?" Severus quipped back and Harry smiled as Severus smirked.
"And there's your answer." He continued and kissed the top of Harry's head as they settled into a comfortable embrace.
