Summary: Sometimes life gets in the way of love. Sometimes it doesn't. 

You, Me, and Ourselves.

Harry frowns at Severus' third attempt to stuff half the library into their straining suitcase. Past experience taught him never to challenge his husband's need to carry his emotional crutches directly.

That doesn't mean he won't listen to sense, so Harry kneels beside him, catches his elegant hands and looks into currently frustrated -and utterly beloved- dark eyes.
“Could we make this trip purely about us and enjoy each other without potions and raids getting in the way?”

Severus' gaze softens and he smiles, pleased and pliable, thoroughly enraptured by the idea.
“I'd like that. Enjoying each other is... important.”

Harry and Severus in a nutshell.

I'm constantly amazed at how much you can put in a hundred words. Well done!

[pekeleke]

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble. Thanks so much for your lovely comment. :D

Dear pekeleke, thank you for this drabble! It's my like a little light that makes the evening brighter and warmer.

Yes, enjoying each other is important in a relationship. And I somehow got the feeling that Severus doesn't imply their enjoying each other in bed (or wherever).

I'm glad that they are "enough" in themselves for the other. (Was this actually an understandable sentence?) They have each other and that's enough. (That's better. ^^)

Have a good Easter-time!

Hello there teryarel :D

I'm thrilled that this little drabble managed to make your evening better. I agree with you on the point that enjoying each other is important in a relationship and that both Severus and Harry were talking about doing so in a way that didn't refer only to bedroom activities, but expanded beyond them.

Yes, your comment about each one of them being enough for the other in and of themselves made perfect sense and was at the very center of what this work was about.

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

Have a happy easter yourself. ;D

Hugs, as always,
pekeleke

Awww! Listen to Harry, Severus. He is wise. :)
Very sweet!

[pekeleke]

LOL. Yes, Harry is wise in this one and I think Severus knows that too. Thanks so much for taking the time to both read and review this drabble, ali. Your lovely comment was greatly appreciated. :D

Love it.

You been okay? Haven't seen you around as much.

[pekeleke]

I'm fine, ada. I know I haven't been around much this year, but RL has been really busy for me so far, and I haven't been getting as much time to write as I used to, let alone read and review other people's work. I have so much catching up to do that's not even funny, but at least that means I'll be drowning in snarry for a long, long, time! :)

Hopefully things will settle soon and then you'll see me around more often. Thanks so much for caring enough to ask. :D

Now, about this drabble... I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it. Thanks, as always, for your lovely comment. :D

[adafrog]

Ah, busy I understand. Hope you get time to read soon. :)

[pekeleke]

I hope so too. :D

[mrs_sweetpeach]

This was completely lovely. I can so see Severus trying to fill his suitcase with more books than will fit. Even with shrinking charms.

[pekeleke]

LOL. Yes, I can definitely see Severus stuffing his suitcase full of books. Poor Harry! ;D

I'm glad that you enjoyed this drabble so much. Thanks, as always, for your lovely comment. It was greatly appreciated. :0

Elegantly put Harry! Well done and thank you for sharing.

[pekeleke]

I'm thrilled that you agree with Harry, since I agree with him too. Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review another work of mine, Your lovely comment was greatly appreciated. :D
