Summary: Severus Snape doesn't have a particularly accommodating nature. But he is willing to make an effort when the right man insists...
 

Since You Insist...

Severus Snape is a private, wary Slytherin. He's in love, but believes himself too... charmless... to pull off outright seduction.

Unwilling to expose his heart to the daunting humiliation of rejection, he uses Harry's inexplicable hero-worship to his benefit. He discourages an auror career, supporting the DADA apprenticeship. Openly despises the French boyfriend, the Quidditch-nut and the mousy librarian, until Potter finally explodes:

“If you want me for yourself just take me, for fuck's sake! I'm yours, Severus. Yours!”

“There's no need to scream, Harry.” Severus smirks triumphantly. “I'd be delighted to... take you, since you insist on being... mine.”

HAHAHA! What a Slytherin way to do things. It certainly takes longer than the Gryffindor method.

I wonder how long it really took for Potter to explode - maybe he was seeing those other blokes to make Severus jealous.

LOL. Yes, the Gryffindor approach is certainly faster, but I don't think our Sev would have felt quite this satisfied with himself if his triumph hadn't required at least a modicum level of plotting...

Judging by Harry's rather flustered claims, I'd dare say you are right, you know? There's a pretty good chance that he picked all those guys on purpose to rile Severus up. Obviously he should have known that Sev, being Sev, he wouldn't be the one to cave in first...

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble, soLeo. Thanks, as usual, for keeping up with my work. :)
