Accept What Is.
read on rue16

 

Harry hates the way his lover always hesitates before entering his chambers, clearly waiting for either permission or welcome, but what really breaks his heart is Severus' refusal to spend the entire night in his arms.

“Why do you always do that?”

Severus frowns, clearly puzzled.
“Why do I do what?”

“Tell me you left a potion on the fire before you even say hello.”

“I'm just... letting you know I can't stay.”

Harry laughs, bitterly angry.
“Can't or won't?”

“Harry...”

“Please get into your head that I. Love. You.  I will not leave you, Severus.  You are my happily-ever-after.”

LOL. I agree with you on the point that Harry will have to keep telling Severus that he has no plans to leave him until he's managed to erode all the pesky defenses his love has learned to build around his wounded heart.

I would love to see Severus' face too, when he finally learns that putting his faith in Harry is the one decision he'll never live to regret. :D

I'm glad my drabbles manage to touch you so deeply, teryarel, so I'm not going to apologize for causing all these 'mushy' comments. I don't think they are all that mushy actually. They are very thoughtful and show a level of insight into Severus' heart that often leaves me smiling from ear to ear. I love 'seeing' my Severus through your eyes so, please, keep sharing him with me every now and then, my friend. :D

Hugs
