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.”
