In Earnest.

Severus stiffens when Potter comes closer. Potter falters. Temptingly flirty smile dimming considerably.

“Am I unwelcome?” Potter asks, uncharacteristically prudent.

“That depends.”

“On what?”

“On why you’ve approached me.” Severus surveys the crowded bar. “The ‘fun-seeking’ patrons of this establishment rarely do.”

“More for me,” Potter says flippantly, and Severus sighs, disappointed.

“I don’t think so. I’ve no interest in levity, Potter.”

“Hear, hear.” The brat replies breathlessly, flirty smile brightening once more. “Would you stay if I kiss you in earnest or would you try to escape, Sna-Severus?”

“That’d depend.”

“On what?”

“On the quality of your kiss, Po-Harry.”
