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.”

I'm with both of you there, then: falling hard for someone sure trumps wasting time on one-night-stands in my book.

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this little drabble so much. Thanks, as always, for your lovely comment, fallconsmate. :)
