Let Us Begin.
read on rue16

  

Severus' courage falters as he presses the doorbell.  'Turn around. Turn around now, you, fool.'
“I can't.  I have to know if he waited.”

The door swings open, exposing Harry Potter.  The man who once tried to tether him with passionate kisses and a desperate promise:  'I'll wait for you, Severus.  All you have to do is come back.'

Five years.  He's been gone for five years.  There's no way Harry remembers...
“Potter, I...”

“You're back.  Are you finally ready for us?”

“Yes, I'm—ready.”

Harry smiles, kisses his mouth reverently and whispers:
“Come in then, Severus.  Let... us... begin.”
