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...”

Harry is as always very understanding. He really know that he has to take small steps with Severus, just one by one. Because Severus is the most insecure person in the whole world. Just sex is fine enough, but relationship? It could be difficult, because Severus didn't believe that he could be happy. So this Harry's picture in his room is a very big step for him. And I damn proud of him.

Hello there, myk! :)

It is true that my particular version of Severus is too insecure to jump into a romantic relationship without thinking twice, or even three times, about it. I'm pretty sure that Harry's understanding attitude will pay big time in the end, so they should be fine, eventually. :)

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drable so much, my friend. Thanks, as always, for your lovely comment.

Hugs
