Fighting losing Battles.

Harry stared, dumbfounded, at the new picture that adorned Severus' deserted chambers, tracing his own smiling face with slightly shaking fingertips while his heart pounded with hope.

Despite their year-long sexual affair, Severus refused to allow their relationship to deepen any further.  Using his desire to enjoy his recently-acquired freedom like a shield against commitment.  Constantly rejecting Harry's offers of... more... through painfully blatant neglect.

“But you're fighting a losing battle.  Aren't you, sweetheart?  Your head claims it'll take a miracle to make us work, but your heart knows better.  It'll only take love, Severus.  And patience.   Bucketfuls of both...”

Bad Severus. You'll get your man, Harry, don't worry.

LOL. True. Severus is being unusually selfish here, but looks like his heart is finally ready to commit properly to Harry...

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review, ada. Your "bad Severus" comment made me smile so hard. ;D
