Summary: Harry Potter isn't a great fan of modern love. But he is willing to negotiate with the right candidate.

 

Modern Negotiations.

Their eyes connected, halting Potter's words. Their laughter faded into awkward silence and Severus' breath hitched, waiting for a kiss that never came.

“I can't do this, Severus.”

Bitter disappointment dashed his unreasonable hopes and he turned away, unwilling to expose his tattered emotions any further. Inviting Potter to dinner had been foolish. He'd been aiming too high all along...
“I understand.”

“I don't think you do. I want...”

“I get the picture, Potter!”

“Listen to me! Modern love leaves me cold. I want marriage. Children. A Chihuahua...”

Severus gaped, appalled.
“A Chihuahua?”

Harry laughed, relieved.
“The Chihuahua is... negotiable.”

ROFL. I think a Chihuahua is what Severus truly needs. Just imagine the picture of him walking with it. LOL.
Thank you, this is the perfect start of the day.

[pekeleke]

LOL, thanks so much, barb.:D

It's amazing how clearly you seem to have picked on the picture I had in my head when I wrote this... That's exactly why I picked the Chihuahua, you know? I tried to imagine poor Severus taking the thing out into Hogwarts' grounds for a little walk and fell out of my chair, laughing...

I'm glad that this little piece had the same effect on you and let me say that it's wonderful to see you here again so soon, reviewing another one of my 100's. Your excuse for not liking them in general is perfectly valid, you know? Sometimes I feel exactly the same: I don't get to play with Severus for long enough writing only drabbles which is why, every now and then, I feel compelled to write a long one shot... ;D

Anyway, I'll leave you for now, my friend. I think I've got a couple more comments from you that I want to answer, so... see you in a sec. ;)

[barb2210]

Well, looks like I couldn't stop. :) I translated this one as well. I hope you wouldn't mind if I share it with others...

[pekeleke]

That's all right, barb. Remember to send me a link to it, though, so I can add it to my list. I don't think I can drag out posting that particular list for much longer. I don't want to lose track of what is going on, translation-wise, so I'll put it up as soon as I have your links, I think...

Take care of yourself,
Sincerely

Severus, Harry, and a chihuahua. Bwahahahaha!
I need a picture of that. :)
Love this!

[pekeleke]

LOL, Oh, I'd love to see that picture, too, I bet I'd be hilarious... Poor Severus! The things he has to do for love! ;)

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this little one. Thanks, as always, for your lovely comment.

I can see this picture: Severus, Harry, sweet little boy with raven hair and green eyes and Chihuahua. Yes, this is very good picture after so bad Friday.
You made my day, thank you!

[pekeleke]

I'm glad that this little drabble managed to make you feel better after a bad day. Thanks so much for taking the time to both read and review. Your lovely comment made me smile. :)

[adafrog]

lolol Not a chihuahua!!

[pekeleke]

LOL, I know... Poor Severus! The things he has to do for love! ;D

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review, ada. You managed to make grin like a loon with just four words.

So cute! Harry so easily managed to out-Slytherin Perselus :D I translated it to Hungarian: http://napisnarry.livejournal.com/4977.html

[pekeleke]

I'm thrilled that you found this little drabble cute. Thanks for all: the link, the time you spent trying to translate it, and this lovely comment. All of it was greatly appreciated. :D

a chihuahua? no. but a yorkshire terror, i mean *terrier*, i could see. ;)

wonderfully done! and of course harry wants the whole shebang, who wouldn't with that handsome potions master?

(me, i have a tiny poodle. less than 7 pounds, and an excellent watcher-of-mom, who has alerted on blood sugar lows several times for me now. yay servicedog!)

[pekeleke]

LOL. I can't honestly picture them with either the Chihuahua or the terror, sorry, I meant Terrier. I always imagine that Severus will be kind of... "allergic" to pets of any kind and Harry... well, it's true that he strikes me as a dog person, but I can only picture him with something huge, clumsy and really hairy. :D

Yes, I can definitely understand why Harry will want to have ALL of Severus to himself. A sexy man like that won't last out there for long, will he?

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review. Your lovely comments always make me smile. :)

[agneskamilla]

*snorts* I did imagine that! Severus - tall, dark and sexy - on his daily walk with his Chihuahua, pink leash and all. LOL. Priceless picture, wish I could draw! Thanks Honey, you really are the best:)

[pekeleke]

LOL, yes I remember that a lot of people wanted to see a picture of this one. It's a wonderfully funny mental image, isn't it?

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read this and sharing your thoughts about it. Hearing back from you, put the hugest smile on my face. :D
