Summary: What Severus' eyes can't see keep him doubting my sincerity...

A/N: Wrote two very different drabbles for this prompt and couldn't made up my mind about which one to submit, so I'm posting them both. :)

What his eyes can't see...

 

Severus doesn't like mirrors.

He doesn't like crystal-clear puddles, curtain-less windows or reflective glass.

Whenever he comes face to face with himself he sees a murderer. A traitor. An old and ugly husk.

 

I hold him tightly, whispering the truth against his ear and refusing to let go.

“I love you, I love you, I love you...”

 

His eyes are wild and desperate when he questions me savagely:

“Why, Harry? How can you love... me?”

 

“I love you because you are you, Severus!. Someday your eyes will see the man you really are and you'll learn to love yourself, too!.”
