A/N: The title of this particular drabble comes from the poem “Tell All The Truth” by Emily Dickinson.

Summary: Harry Potter teaches Severus Snape that, although the truth might be surprising, it's never -ever- premature.
 

The Truth's Superb Surprise.

Severus turned away, silently rejecting Potter's kiss. He felt too fragile for anger. Too disappointed. Too wounded.
“This was a mistake. Please go home, Harry.”

“But you wanted me to stay. I don't understand...”

Severus jerked away, looking absolutely shattered.
“I heard you floo-calling your friends while I was in the kitchen. You were boasting about... this.”

“Severus...”

”You want a casual affair while I...”

“Yes?”

“I don't do casual. I...”

“You?...”

“I fall.”

“Then fall, sweetheart. I promise to catch you.”

Severus blinked:
“Sweetheart? Aren't terms of endearment a bit too premature?”

“The truth is never premature, my love.”

Sometimes I think that Severus is not a master spy but master of misunderstanding. I know that it could be because of his insecurity, but sometimes it is just... stupid. I'm pretty sure that Harry was just so happy that finally he is with Severus that he had to floo Ron and Hermione.
Sweetheart is a very good word to describe Severus :) I think that he likes it, but hush! You don't know it from me.

True. Severus can be too suspicious for his own good sometimes. I'm pretty sure that Harry was just so happy about having convinced Severus to give him a chance that he just had to tell his friends about it, but you know Sev... Thinking the worst of everyone first is second nature to him. Hopefully Harry will slowly teach him to leave behind all that lack of trust and have more faith in him and yes, I believe Severus likes being called a sweetheart, even if he'll never admit to it out loud... ;D

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

Hugs
