Tortured Valentine
"Sev? Are you in here?" Harry Potter called as he entered the quarters he shared with his long time lover Severus Snape.
"I am in the bedroom, Harry." Severus answered in what he considered his sexiest voice. He turned to watch the younger man as he entered, eager to see his reaction to what he had set up for this special evening.
Harry bounced into their bedroom, "Happy Valen… tine's… Day…" His eyes went wide as he scanned the very dungeon-esque decorations Severus had placed in the room. "Um… Sev…?"
Severus smirked rather pleased with himself, "I thought we could try something a little," he raised an eyebrow, "different this evening." He was almost purring as he tugged on the chains he had installed above their bed to make sure they were secure.
"Yeah, um… I see that." Harry's eyes trailed over the rack of whips, floggers and paddles by the bathroom door. "This is… um…"
"Exciting?" Severus purred hopefully. When Harry just stared at him he said, "Unexpected, perhaps?" slightly less confident than before.
Harry sighed, "Actually, I was thinking," he shrugged, "frightening." When Severus' shoulders slumped he added, "I'm sorry Love. I'm just… I don't know." He looked around the room.
It wasn't the first time Severus had asked for a little rough play but this went way above and beyond anything they had done before. His eyes focused on the array of toys Severus had spread out on the dresser. There were a few things he didn't recognize among the dildos, butt plugs and cock rings.
One item in particular caught his attention and he picked it up with a small frown. "Which one of us did you envision wearing this?" They frequently switched who was top depending on how they felt. So Harry felt this was a perfectly valid question.
Severus jaw clenched and his eyes narrowed and he snapped, "Forget it." as he snatched the item from Harry's loose grasp and stuffed it in his sock drawer. He then proceeded to plop down on the bed with his back to Harry. He had found that silence was much more effective than yelling or screaming at the brat.
Feeling that he had obviously misread what Severus was thinking, Harry shook his head and reached into the drawer. He then crawled up on the bed behind Severus, "I'm sorry Love. I know you sometimes like it rough, but this is just a bit," he shook his head, "overwhelming for me."
Severus snorted as Harry wrapped his arms around him asking, "Can you tell me something Love?"
Severus shrugged and Harry lifted one hand with the item he had asked about hanging from his fingers, "What is it about wearing this that appeals to you most?"
Severus looked down and shrugged again.
"You can't expect me to do this, if you can't explain it." Harry caressed Severus chest as he snuggled up close to his back, "What about this do you want most?"
Severus was almost whispering when he answered, "I want to feel cared for, like…" he stopped speaking, his breathing hard and ragged.
"Like what, Sev?" Harry slid his free hand inside Severus soft white shirt.
Severus took a deep breath, "Like a…" he let his head fall back onto Harry's shoulder, as he tried to control his breathing, "This harder than I thought it would be."
Harry kissed his temple, "I know Love, but I can't give you what you want if you don't tell me what it is."
Severus nodded as he turned slightly to look at Harry, "I want to be cared for, pampered and spoiled, like a pet." He slid off the bed to kneel in front of Harry, "Please, Harry?"
Harry moved so he was sitting on the edge of the bed with a foot on either side of Severus. "Are you saying that you think this, will make you feel that way?"
Severus shook his head, "No!" The corner of his lips curved up, "This," he touched the bright red collar with gold heart shaped studs that Harry was fitting around his throat, "will only serve as a physical, visual reminder that I have given myself to you. That I have given you the right to make the decisions in this room." He paused a moment, "Perhaps I should say in sexual situations." His smirk was as close to a smile as it ever got when Harry chuckled. After all there wasn't a flat surface, and some not so flat surfaces, in the castle that they hadn't had sex on or against.
"Further more I give you the right to use any of these," his hand swept the room, "on me, for discipline or pleasure." The purr was back in his velvety voice.
Harry nodded and grinned, "You will want for nothing, I promise." He then slid his hand into Severus hair, "You'll have to teach me what some of these things are."
Severus nodded eagerly as Harry leaned forward and captured his lips.
When Harry pulled back he frowned slightly. "Something isn't quite right. Ah!" He pulled his wand, "Tell me, my lovely little pet, what kittens wear?"
Severus blinked, "I do not believe kittens wear anything." He said slowly.
Harry smiled, "Correct." If he noticed Severus concerned look he ignored it. He tapped the collar he had just placed around Severus neck and made a small loop before making a much more elaborate motion and pointing to the laundry basket.
Severus gasp as his clothing seemed to dissolve, melting off his body only to reappear where Harry's wand was pointing.
Harry then tossed his wand onto the bedside table and opened his arms, "Here, Kitty-Kitty."
Severus happily launched himself at Harry and they rolled on the bed as they kissed.
Severus would not notice until much later that Harry had changed the color of the thin leather collar from red and gold to a much more appropriate black and silver.

Shopping
"Oh honestly Harry, do you really intend to put that in there?"
Harry rolled his eyes at his best friend, "Yes Hermione, my Kitten needs a new one." He almost wished he hadn't agreed to bring her along.
She snatched the item from his hand before he could drop it into his shopping basket.
"Harry, this is way too big for a kitten. You'd probably have to double it around its waist." Hermione scolded.
Grabbing it back Harry again tried to place it in the basket only to have it snatched away again. "Do you really intend to put that in there, Potter?"
Harry sighed, "Apparently not." He looked up at the taller dark haired man, "What's wrong with it."
"It has a bell, Potter, and it's green." Severus sneered.
Frowning Harry demanded, "What's wrong with green?"
Severus sighed, "Nothing, but I think red or perhaps black would be more appropriate."
"Alright," Harry said as he shook his head and smiled, "How about that one?"
Severus dropped the one he disliked and picked up the one that Harry indicated, a small smile appearing on his face as he examined the thin black leather collar with small diamond studs.
"But Professor," Hermione tried again, "that's still awfully big for a kitten."
Raising his eyebrow Severus sneered, "Really?" He then lifted the collar to his own throat and deftly fastened the buckle with a smirk, "It is actually a little snug. Just like I like it."
