Three Little Words

Severus sighed. I must make a decision soon. Potter was quite persistent, after all. The way he’d hovered over Severus’ bed during his recovery, and his vigorous defence of Severus during his trial had been proof of his determination.

Then had started the letters, talking about being friends, about all Harry wanted for ‘their new life’. Severus understood. He’d fought the attraction between them for years, but it seemed Potter was finally ready to succumb. But am I?

When the knock came, Severus was ready. Opening the door, he looked at Potter, then, smiling, slowly stepped aside. “Do come in.”

Oh, this is so lovely... You managed to tell a much longer story in just one hundred words and the image you paint of Severus' long -and fruitless- struggle to avoid the temptation of actually falling for Harry was both slightly bittersweet and achingly romantic. Beautiful from beginning to end, ali. Kudos on a job well done. :)

Thank you! :)
You always say such kind things! I do try to tell as complete a story as I can in a drabble, and when I can make it be a 100 word drabble and not a series, even better. :)
