oh this was REALLY lovely. you caught the pain and sorror and hurt that severus felt at thinking harry was teasing him, the anxiety that harry had at thinking "he isn't BELIEVING me!", the horror of severus at being called Professor in bed, and the sweet tenderness of "i love you" being spoken for the first time.

*wild applause* i like, i like! JUST what the doctor ordered when one is recovering from a broken arse. (seriously.)
