Summary: “Yes, this is what I want.” Harry whispers fiercely, embracing his prickly love with utter gentleness.

 

Harry hates Severus' need to unbutton his left cuff first when he's undressing. He'll stand beside the bed, back ramrod-straight like a proud warrior, and undo those two small buttons like a man throwing down a gauntlet: 'This is what you want. This marked, tainted, thing. This monster. This Death-Eater. This worthless creature who doesn't deserve you.'

Harry hears Severus' unvoiced challenge and dismisses it altogether by moving relentlessly forwards.
“Yes, this is what I want.” He whispers fiercely, embracing his prickly love with utter gentleness. “I want this marked, tainted, thing. I want you with all my heart, Severus.”

I'm thrilled that you found this drabble so beautiful, teryarel. And yes, less hope with all our hearts that the day will come when Severus is able to look at the dark mark and realize that, although its presence on his forearm helped make him the man he currently is, it has never managed to define him. :D

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review another work of mine, my dear friend. Your kind and lovely comment was greatly appreciated. :D
