Playing It Safe.

Severus watches Potter rush towards him, and wonders if the brat understands why he loiters at day’s end outside St. Mungo’s laboratory, where no healer should be.

“Done for today, Master Snape?” Potter asks, flashing him that shy, adoring smile that promises so much.

“Yes.” Severus responds, daring to smile in return. He’s no innocent. He understands the concept of attraction, and ponders whether he’d be excited or terrified when-if Potter ever grows the balls to finish this game he’s started.

“Good night, then.” Potter plays it safe for another day, and Severus’ smile dims with disappointment.

“Good night, Potter.”

Oh wow Harry can you be anymore clueless? FIX IT! I love how we see it all from Severus' POV. However, it looks like Severus' patience is wearing a little thin.

LOL. Yes. Harry is being a bit clueless in this one. He needs to put his Gryffindor cap back on and make a move on his man. Hopefully, he'll do that soon and then they can replace all that pining with properly good times. I'm sure Severus will love that. :)

I'm glad that you enjoyed this drabble, keyairreem. Thanks, as always, for your kind and lovely comment. :)
