Chocolate-man Severus! Wonderful idea. I think that Severus is a very sensual man. It really seems to fit that he would like (dark) chocolate. Did you let them possibly join a "chocolate ecstasy tour"? (How /do/ you keep on comig up with those little tidbits?)

Did Harry really have a cramp? At first I thought that this doesn't fit into the flow of the story, but as I think about it... Perhaps it simply shows those "little things" that a couple shares when they get comfortable with each other. Did you mean it in such a way? Or was Harry trying to divert the topic after all?

I love Severus' humour in this scene. Slytherins cannot whine, huh. :)

But then there is Sev's view of their future as seen through the eyes of the public. He is probably very accurate about the reception of them being together. (At least, that's what you seem to let shine through as being in store for them. If you would have the public accepting Severus, then he wouldn't be as pessimistic as he is about their reactions.) I hope for them that there won't be too many problems.

The kiss was one of the most sensual and touching scenes I have read in a long time. Harry is behaving like a true champion of romance. He could melt a stone (or Severus) with his words and actions. And he (unlike Dumbledore and Lily) will stand by his friend and chosen partner. He will not let Severus down when he needs him most. And now, finally, Sev can see - and believe - this, too.

Thank you for another part of your story.
