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.”

Awwww, this is so sad even though it´s cute in the end. Five years! OMG. Lovely drabble, pekeleke, thank you;-)

*sigh* So beautiful-so much in so few words. *bows to a master of words*
Thank you for sharing.

Of course Harry waited for Severus. I think he would wait another five years if he had to.

[pekeleke]

LOL. Thanks, ada! :D

True, Five years is a very long time to wait for the person you love, but at least that wait is over now and they've got all the time in the world to make up for it. I'm glad you enjoyed this drabble, despite its angsty theme. Thanks, as always, for your lovely comment, pat. :D

[pekeleke]

Oh! *blushes* That's such a lovely thing to say...

I'm thrilled you found this drabble so beautiful. Thanks, as always, for your gorgeous and kind comment. :D

[pekeleke]

Yep. I think Harry would have waited those extra five years, too. Thankfully he didn't have to. The long wait is over and now its time for their happily ever after. :D

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review another work of mine, myk. Your lovely comment meant the world to me. :)

Aww! So sweet! *happy sigh*

I'm thrilled that you found this one sweet, ali. Thanks so much for your lovely comment. :)

Five years! That must have been agonizing for the both of them. Poor boys. and Severus is so brave here. I love him so much, and I am very glad that they are finally where they belong. Yay.

[pekeleke]

True. Five years is a very long time to wait for their chance to be together. I agree with you on the point that Severus was very brave here. Any other man would have assumed it was too late already and never bothered to show up. Thank Merlin for Severus' need to know, for that paved the way to their happily ever after. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review. :D
