When they landed in Severus’ flat, Harry clung to him.
“Is everything all right?” Severus asked.
“Now that we’re out of danger and you’re okay, yes.” Harry narrowed his eyes. “You are okay, right? You were limping earlier and I couldn’t tell if they hurt—”
“Harry.” Cupping Harry’s face in his hands, Severus kissed him. “Relax. I’m rather stiff since I’m not as young as I once was, but I’ll be fine after some food and rest.”
“Okay.” Harry looked around. “Sorry I didn’t clean up—”
“Please.” Severus hummed. “It’s obvious you spent your time tracking me down.”
“I had to,” Harry said. “I couldn’t leave you with them.”
“Indeed.” Severus sighed. “Now, you could use some rest, too. I’ll cook something and—”
“Are you mad?!” Harry cried. “Not an hour ago you were a hostage! If anyone’s cooking, it’s me.”
Severus scowled. “Ridiculous. I should—”
Harry grabbed Severus’ shoulders. “Neither of us is in any shape to deal with sharp objects or fire at the moment. Luckily, we’ve options. Kreacher!”
Kreacher appeared. “Master Harry?”
“Please fix dinner.” Harry eyed the mess that was the living room. “And clean up in here.”
Muttering something indecipherable, Kreacher got to work.
“Don’t tell Hermione I did that, okay?” Harry pulled Severus towards the bedroom. “And I really should owl her, but I don’t trust my penmanship right now.”
“Ronald will inform her that you’re fine.” Severus sat on the bed. “Are you staying?”
“Of course! What did you think?”
“I wasn’t sure.” Not meeting Harry’s eyes, Severus began undressing. “If this were a Sophocles Greek tragedy, this is when you’d inform me you’ve found someone else.”
“Severus.” It was Harry’s turn to cup Severus’ face in his hands. “I love you. There’s no one else. You’re it for me.”
“I come with baggage—”
“If you mean Malfoy, we can all get along.” I hope. “Now, are we going to bed or arguing?”
Slowly, Severus smiled. “It’s interesting seeing your dominant side. I vote for bed.”
“Brilliant.” Ditching his clothes, Harry climbed in alongside Severus. “And sorry about the…dominance.”
“It’s all right,” came the surprising answer. “I rather like it.”
And with interesting thoughts swirling, Harry slept.

Date: 2016-01-30 08:22 am (UTC)It's so sweet to see them caring *for* the other and trying to take care *of* the other. ^^
And then, after having been a selfless hero Severus reverts back to the withdrawn, insecure person that he is beneath all those robes and prickly demeanor. He's not sure Harry will stay! After all the chasing, rescuing and caring Harry's done, Severus still doubts... ... ... (This should be a very long line of ellipses - there is nothing to say to this; else than to shout and grumble and threaten bodily harm to Severus. Which I won't do. And did he really mean the Malfoys when he spoke of baggage?)
So, thank you very much for writing and sharing this story, dear alisanne!

Date: 2016-01-30 09:22 pm (UTC)I definitely see them as needing to take care of each other. After all, who else will?
Severus I'm afraid always reverts to type. It's one thing to say you love him, but he needs to see it. Not that Harry isn't showing him with his every action, but you don't lose years of insecurity after only a few weeks. *pets him*
Although perhaps things will change with upcoming chapters... *g*
Thanks again!
