Time To Face The Music.

Severus' heart sank upon seeing that small, velvety box.
“I thought we agreed about this the last time we discussed it.”

“We never discussed it. You walked out, remember? I couldn't even answer...”

“Your answer is marriage? Are you daft? I'll be lynched the moment this goes public. People will assume I was buggering you at Hogwarts...”

“You weren't.”

“Let's get back to basics, Potter. I'm a dammed Death-Eater. I was Voldemort's...”

“Please, don't lie. You were mine all along.”

“That's not the point!”

“We are in love. We can't hide it forever. It's time to face the music, Severus.”

Hmm. Looks to me like that IS the point, Severus. You were always Harry's and always will be. :)
*happy sigh*
Lovely!

[pekeleke]

LOL. True. For once in his life it looks like Harry can see the actual point a lot better than Severus. Oh, the shock! ;D

I'm thrilled that you found this drabble lovely, ali. Thanks, as always, for your kind review. :)

Harry's basics and Severus' are very different! ^_^
You were mine all along.
That is my favorite line. because it is so true.

from the tidbit it seems that Severus is so concerned with what other people think that he is trying to use that as an excuse from letting himself enjoy fully his relationship with Harry. He needs to let go and relax!

[pekeleke]

It's true that the boys' ideas of what is basic here are completely different. Although I can understand Severus' caution I doubt it will make either of them happy in the end. Harry's plan should get them there eventually, though.

You are right when you say that Severus needs to follow Harry's lead and relax a bit. He's got not just any old hero, but The Savior himself, on his side. Nothing can possibly go wrong. At least not for long...

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review, my friend. Your beautiful comment made my day. :D

I really understand Severus' fear, but Harry is right - Severus was Harry's. Always. Just like Harry always was Severus'. People will talk, it's true. But they could go to hell, it doesn't matter. Severus and Harry love each other and it is really important.
Well done, my friend.
Hugs,
myk

[pekeleke]

Hello there, myk! :D

I'm with you on the point that, although I can understand Severus' fear, I also believe that keeping their relationship secret will hurt them both in the end. Harry's plan is much better. Things might get rocky for a little while, but everything should settle in the end. They love each other, as long as they fight this battle together, nothing and no one will be able to tear them apart...

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble, myk. Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review. Hearing from you never fails to make me smile. :)

Severus, let Harry handle the mobs with the torches, and everything will work out fine. especially once it comes out that HARRY asked SEVERUS to marry him, and not the other way around!

poor stressed Severus...he needs a honeymoon someplace they don't know the two of them. with a SPA, and MASSAGES. :D

well done!

[pekeleke]

Hello there fallconsmate! :D

I think you are right. Severus should let his Gryffindor hero go slay all those dragons for him while he takes a back seat and enjoys the fireworks.

I love the idea of Harry whisking his poor, stressed new husband somewhere far away for a private honeymoon full of pampering. Humm... I might end up writing something like that one day. You know I'll blame you, don't you? ;D

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this story, my friend. Thanks, as always, for your lovely comment. :)

[fallconsmate]

blame, give credit, it's all the same plotbunny nibbling at your ear! ;)

*hugs and hugs*

[patolozka]

Oh, that´s so cute! Interesting that I was looking for some music but it's a phrase:-) Like it. Thank you!

[pekeleke]

Hello there, pat! :D

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble so much, even if the title confused you a bit at first. Thanks for taking the time to both read and review, my friend. Your lovely comment was greatly appreciated. :)

[keyairreem]

Face it Severus you cannot win that argument! LOL

[pekeleke]

LOL. True. Severus will have to concede defeat eventually... ;D

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble. Thanks so much for your lovely comment.

[adafrog]

Come on, Severus, you can do it.

[pekeleke]

Yes. I think Sev can do it too, particularly with this sort of determined Harry by his side...

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble, ada. Thanks so much for the extra-long comment. It really made my day. :D

[mrs_sweetpeach]

This was cute. Poor Severus, I expect he's quite concerned about how the public-at-large is going to react. Harry doesn't give a fig as long as he gets his man!

[pekeleke]

True. Harry tends to disregard public opinion while Severus worries constantly about it. I agree with Harry's take on this, though. Life is too short to live it on other people's terms, so... poor Sev will end up losing this battle, I'm afraid.

I'm thrilled that you found this drabble so cute. Thanks for taking the time to both read and review. Your lovely comment was greatly appreciated. :)

They were each other's all along! And isn't that the best thing ever? Anybody who thinks otherwise is mentally challenged and probably blind and deaf as well. I can imagine no other ways not to know that. After all it is a basic fact;)

[pekeleke]

Yes, they were each other's all along. I'm glad that we share this particular opinion about the boys', agness.

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review another work of mine. I absolutely adore 'seeing' my stories through your eyes. :)
