The Harsh Man’s Choice.
“Well?” Potter asks, such a simple question, but it turns Severus’ life upside-down. Severus is neither angel nor devil. He's a harsh man, though. One who rarely rejects opportunity.
Potter claims to love him, and although exploiting the boy's feelings goes against Severus’ every principle, principle alone won’t get him anywhere. Potter’s affection gives him power, options, respite. No sane Slytherin would reject that, but... “I can’t promise you-”
“Honest love, I know.”
“You deserve it, though.”
Potter smiles tenderly. “So do you.”
“Sounds like I’ll get it, Potter. You won’t.”
“But I’ll get you. And you are enough, Severus.”
