�Harry, why am I spending my last day of freedom hanging around a bloody
park?� Ron asked
irritably, kicking at a stone on the floor.

�Because
this is what Dumbledore wants us to do?� Harry rolled his eyes.

�A park?
He thinks that Voldemort�s just going to decide on a
leisurely stroll in this very boring Muggle park, in,� he wiped some spots of
rain off his forehead, �the rain?!�

�I�m not a
weather man,� Harry snapped, watching two figures walk side by side, talking
quietly. �I know this is stupid, and futile, but come on. Don�t you like being
incognito just a little bit?� He tweaked his fake moustache with a wink.

�No, the
beard itches,� Ron scratched his face. �I hate this. I want my old hair back. I
don�t like being grey, it doesn�t suit me.�

�Just a
mirror into the future,� Harry laughed. �When you will be old
and grey and doddery with a dodgy hip and a walking stick.�

�If you�re
still around I�ll beat you with it,� Ron folded his arms and blinked the rain
out of his eyes.

�Ooh I�m
scared,� Harry grinned. �So. Whilst we�re sitting here
spying on two people who appear to be nothing more than talking about
something, how are things with Snape?�

�Can�t you
call him by his first name, Harry, it�s been long enough?�

�No,� Harry
said pointedly.

Ron
groaned. �Things are great.�

�Sure?�

�Sure as
hell is hot.�

�Remus was
asking about you the other day,� Harry said, tapping a rhythm on the bench.

�Oh?�

�Was very
subtly trying to ascertain whether you were okay, if the relationship was going
okay, whether I thought there was anything untoward going on?�

�Untoward?�
Ron looked at him with a bushy grey eyebrow raised.

�I don�t
think he trusts Severus further than he could throw him,� Harry admitted. �And
I�ll confess he joins the club. We offered him a t-shirt.�

Ron laughed
despite himself and the slur on his partner. �Well, I trust him.�

�You would,
you�re in love with him.�

�Hey, you
said that without the slightest shudder! Dear God have we made a breakthrough?�

�Shut up,�
Harry muttered. �But why would Remus be worried� do they have more history than
we know of?�

Ron
sniggered and Harry looked at him inquisitively. �Severus would kill me if I
told you.�

�Tell me,�
Harry�s eyes flew wide, forgetting he was meant to be acting the part of a
seventy year old.

�I really
shouldn�t,� Ron shook his head. �I actually think he�d eat my entrails if you
ever let it slip. And anyway, this involves Remus too, your friend� you�ll
probably look at him differently.�

�Screw
differently,� Harry hissed. �Tell tell tell.�

�You�re
such a child,� Ron rolled his eyes. �Fine. Well. You
know that point where you lose your virginity?�

Harry
nodded.

�Well��

�Well
what?�

�Oh do you
not see where I�m going with this you dolt? Severus lost his virginity at
sixteen in the broom cupboard on the fourth floor with Remus Lupin.�

�Oh my fucking god. Is everyone we know bent?!� Harry said in shock.

�I think
they put something in the water at school,� Ron winked and jokingly spread his
hand over Harry�s thigh. �You should watch out. It might not be out of your
system yet.�

Harry
rolled his eyes and pushed Ron�s hand off him. �Seriously
though? Ew.�

�And
anyway, Remus is married and expecting his first child. So it would seem he�s
not gay anymore.�

�He might
be bisexual,� Harry countered. �I�ve always thought��

�What?� Ron pushed him.

�Well. Before Sirius died� when they were re-united, did you never feel the
tension between them? The look in their eyes?�

�Fair
point,� Ron shifted and looked over the park where their subjects were still
circling on the path. �Maybe they were together then.�

�But why on
earth would Remus sleep with Snape? I mean it�s no secret that my dad and
Sirius hated him� and Remus never stopped them.�

�I don�t
think I could have stood up to Sirius Black either,� Ron shrugged. �Remus is so
timid and quiet. And with his condition he was just grateful for friends, I�d
imagine.�

�So why on
earth would he sleep with Severus Snape, especially if, as we suspect, he was
in love with Sirius?�

�He won�t
talk about it,� Ron shook his head. �I didn�t push my luck enough to ask.�

�How could you not ask?!� Harry said disbelievingly.

�Because he�s really private!�

�And you�re really fucking brash; you never hold your tongue.�

�I do
around him,� Ron shrugged.

�You are so
different when you�re around him,� Harry said quietly.

�How?�

�You�re all
grown up and quiet and respectful. It�s bizarre to watch� considering that up
until you started seeing him you were still getting riotously drunk with us in
the village and throwing up spectacularly on the way home.�

�I still get riotously drunk! And I still throw up.�

�Not with
me,� Harry sounded upset.

�Are you
trying to tell me I�m not spending enough time with you?� Ron twigged
instantly.

Harry nodded.

�Fine,� Ron
smiled. �We�ll go for a drink when we�re done here? Get
Hermione along?�

�No, just�
us,� Harry said with a sly look of his eyes.

�Alright,�
Ron couldn�t really understand what had bought this on. �You�re not going to
confess undying love for me and try to steal me from Severus are you? Because
I�ve got to admit Harry, I don�t fancy scraping you both off the walls when
you�d finished fighting one another.�

Harry
laughed and said, �No, no. Not in love with you.�

�I�m
actually offended.�

Harry made
smooches at him, �Like kissing me wouldn�t completely freak you out anyway.
You�re like a brother.�

�Yeah but
some people kiss their brothers,� Ron teased evilly. �Who ever heard of
boundaries, eh?�

Harry
laughed again. �I can�t believe we�re not going back, Ron.�

�I know.
It�s insane. Do you know I actually considered doing the teacher training just
so I could go back?�

�So have
I,� Harry replied gingerly. �In fact, I might have submitted the form��

�You�ve
applied for teacher training?� Ron�s mouth fell open. �Congratulations.�

�They�ll
probably turn me down anyway,� Harry shrugged.

�Not bloody likely,� Ron grinned. �The whole world seems to know about your
little Dumbledore�s Army stint.�

�That was
different��

�Harry, if
you could teach me how to make a Patronus,� Ron said in a low voice, �You could
teach a troll how to tap dance.�

�You�re
cleverer than you give yourself credit for� than any of us really ever give you
credit for.�

�That�s
sweet Harry, but seriously, you don�t have to pretend you weren�t every single
bit as surprised as I was when I opened the envelope.�

Harry
laughed. �Okay okay okay. Maybe. But still.�

Ron sat up
with a jolt and hit Harry in the chest with his hand, �Look.� He nodded towards
their two chatters, who had seemingly got themselves into an argument. Harry
watched through narrowed eyes. �Walk,� he got to his feet and Ron followed.

As they
neared, Ron bent over and feigned needing a rest for his seventy year old self,
and Harry hovered over him concernedly, a hand on his back, with his face and
ears alert. The conversation was much louder now.

�But if we
move now this whole thing could fall apart,� the man hissed. �We could ruin it
all.�

�The Dark
Lord thinks not,� the other shook his head. �He thinks it�s time, that it�s
gone on long enough and he finally has enough power to succeed.�

�It�s
madness, I�m telling you.�

�I�ll be sure to convey your doubts,� the man replied sharply. �And see if he
favours you then, fool.�

Ron heard a
pop and looked at Harry frowning. One of them had just disapparated
in the middle of a Muggle park. Another pop, Harry looked round.

�Does that mean the shit�s about to hit the fan?� Ron stood up and began
wordlessly re-instating his ginger hair and normal clothes after checking there
was nobody nearby.

Harry
nodded and softly touched the scar on his forehead. �This bastard thing is
tingling again.�

Ron looked
at him uneasily. �The sooner, the better�� He said softly, finally voicing an
opinion which had been on his mind for a few weeks. �We can�t live like this�
so drawn out, waiting.�

To his
surprise, Harry nodded in agreement. �Everyone�s had enough. Look. I�m going to
go and report back and I�ll meet you in the Leaky in an hour?�

�Sure.�

Ron had an
hour to kill so when he arrived in Diagon Alley, he
followed his feet to number 93 and pushed open the door to hear its little
tinkle. There was rustling to his left and George stood up and looked at him.
�Hey! Didn�t expect to see you here today?�

�Just
meeting Harry for a drink, where�s Fred?�

George
yawned and made his way to the counter. �Seeing a possible
lead about getting our products in some shops abroad. Looks
positive!�

�That�d be
well cool,� Ron grinned, walking behind the counter and playing with the keys
on the till like he always did. �This thing has always fascinated me.�

�You�re so
weird,� George laughed. �Got time for tea?�

�I always
have time for tea, brother dearest.� Ron nodded and looked around the quiet
shop. �Bit quiet in here, isn�t it?�

�Well
Thursday afternoons aren�t our busiest time,� George rolled his eyes. �Anyway,
how are you? How�s Sn-� Severus?�

�I�m good,
bit nervous about tomorrow. Severus is fine, doing potions stuff at the school
again.�

�Are you
sure?� George raised an eyebrow. �I mean� are you sure he�s always going where
he says he�s going?�

�Why
wouldn�t he be?�

�He�s a
spy, Ron.�

Getting
annoyed that this was the second conversation he�d had that day about his
lover�s trustworthiness, Ron replied, �He might be a spy, but he would tell me
if he was working.�

�Or, he
doesn�t want you to know about it because he hopes it would buy you some time
if anyone attacked you asking questions about him��

�He would
tell me,� Ron said firmly. �I feel like I�m bashing my head against a brick
wall here. Nobody seems to get that I trust him.�

�We see
that you trust him,� George handed him a chipped mug, �Most of us just don�t
understand why.�

�You don�t
have to understand anything,� Ron shrugged. �Just shut up and let me get on
with it. If a mistake is what I�m making, at least it�ll have been my own,
alright?�

�Alright,�
George held his hands up in surrender, knowing not to push much further.

�Thank
you,� Ron breathed, and perched himself on the stool nearest him. �How are
you?�

�I�m good�
I�m a bit upset though,� he looked at Ron.

�Why?�

�Because
instead of coming to work with us you�ve gone and bloody got yourself
a proper job.�

Ron
laughed. �Come on, you don�t want me skanking up your
shop after everything you�ve done for it.�

�But still�
we kind of expected you�d come begging for a job� so we kept a spot open for
you and now we�re without.�

�Well you should have said,� Ron winked. �Who needs to be patching up the
wounded when you can be flogging troublemaking devices to the unwitting youth?�

George
laughed. �Yeah, alright, I see your point.�

***

Severus
looked impatiently at the clock. It was gone six and Ron should have been back
two hours ago. There was warm air floating in through the open back door, the
rain from earlier having passed on and leaving the sky blue in its tracks. He
tapped his finger on his mug and bit his lip nervously. Ha! And this is just two hours late� what am I going to do when they
start keeping him late at work? When he�s so tired when he gets in from work he
hasn�t got the energy to do anything but crawl into bed? He took a mouthful
of tea. I�m as bad as he is about it.
Fuck. I don�t know� How can it be so hard? A bird squawked in the garden
making him jump a bit. He didn�t know why, but for the past few days he�d been
constantly on edge, always looking over his shoulder. He hoped his senses were
just out of whack� when he got like this it normally meant that something was
about to happen. And I haven�t had to
experience anything happening with someone running around that I actually cared
about in years� I can�t lock him up� No, Severus definitely couldn�t lock
Ron Weasley under the stairs to allow him to be able to fully emphasise with
his best friend. But the thought of letting Ron be in the thick of the action,
if there was going to be any action, made him sick. Of course Ron would want to
be there, he was used to fighting his way out of trouble now.

A sound in
the living room made his ears prick up, and Severus hurried through to see Ron
brushing himself off in the fireplace.

�Where were
you?� Severus asked, sweeping him into a hug as he stepped off the hearth dropping
ash everywhere.

�Sorry, got
caught up with Harry. He chose today to get all �you never spend any time with
me� clingy.�

Fucking Potter. I hate you. He�s mine. Let go already. �Did you have any luck with the
people you were trailing?�

Ron nodded
and took off his jacket, brushing past Severus to hang it up in the hall. �Yeah. Something�s about to go down, we think.�

He briefly
explained their eavesdropping to Severus who frowned. So that�s why you�re on edge. It�s going to happen,
he�s going to call you. �I haven�t been called at all, though��

Ron�s eyes
glanced nervously at Severus� forearm as though it might explode. �I know. It�s
odd� isn�t it? For him?�

�Just shows
how much I�ve fallen from favour,� Severus said uncomfortably. �I feel like
we�re wide open, we know nothing� but if I go sniffing around it�ll look
suspicious.�

�Nobody you
trust to just ask?� Ron asked bleakly.

Severus
couldn�t help it, he laughed. �Ron, when it comes to the Death Eaters the word
trust doesn�t even feature.�

�Oh� of
course,� Ron shrugged. He went into the kitchen and opened the fridge. �We have
nothing to eat��

�Arse,�
Severus cursed. �I forgot to go out and get food. Sorry.�

Ron tapped
his fingers on the open fridge door trying to figure out what he could make
with the little he had.

�We could
go out?� Severus touched his shoulder. �Celebrate your last night of freedom?�

�Where are
we going to go,� Ron raised an eyebrow, �That you won�t spend the evening
freaking out about someone seeing us?�

Although it was a fair point Severus felt his temper bite in reaction to
that. Do you want me to hang a fucking banner on
the front of the house? �Fine then� take away, and beer?�

�That
sounds a much better evening,� Ron closed the fridge and smiled at him. �Now we
can have the usual �which take away are we going to have� fight��

�You
choose, your night,� Severus held his hands up signalling peace.

It was
because of that comment that Severus found himself munching on pizza an hour
and a half later. It wasn�t his favourite, the cheese rarely agreed with him.
But Ron could sink it like it was water. Taking a swig of ale, Severus looked
at him, spread out on the sofa eating methodically.

�Would you
look at that, you�re chewing your food instead of inhaling,� Severus winked.

�You�re
clearly having an effect on me,� Ron rolled his eyes and rubbed his hands
together to break up the grease. �That was great, thank you.�

�We�ve been
together nearly three months, living together for one and you�re still thanking
me for buying dinner?�

�Just being
polite,� Ron said. �Manners don�t cost anything.�

�You�re
really snarky tonight,� Severus looked at him. �Has someone upset you or
something? Have I done something wrong?�

�No, no.�
Ron shook his head and put the pizza box to one side. �No, I�m just tired after
today and nervous about tomorrow��

�And?�

�How do you
know there�s another and?�

�Because if
you study a book for long enough you begin to realise what�s on the next page.�

Ron scowled
and rubbed an itch on his cheek. �Fine. Both Harry and
George today, in separate conversations, have sort of
implied that I trust you too much.�

�How much
do you trust me?�

�Implicitly,�
Ron stared levelly back.

�Big words
for you,� Severus set down his bottle. �Well. With my past I�m not surprised
they can�t understand why you trust me. I expected it. I expected them to fight
a lot harder to get us apart.�

�George�
seemed to think that if you were spying for either side, there�d be no way
you�d tell me� that you probably aren�t at the school when you always say you are.�

Busted. Damn you George Weasley. �Well. I always start off at school, if I go elsewhere on
Albus� instruction��

�So you have been lying to me?�

�No, I�ve
not lied! I�m just saying I don�t stay in the school all day. Ron, come on�we
don�t have to tell each other every tiny thing.�

�Oh, so,
you weren�t sitting in the kitchen guzzling tea nervously watching the clock
when I was late home?�

Oh you�re so fucking perceptive. �Well.�

�When you study a book for long enough you
realise what�s on the next page!� Ron mimicked him with a raised eyebrow.

�Alright,
point taken,� Severus grumbled. �Sorry. But I haven�t lied to you. I haven�t
done any spy work.�

�But you�ve
been out under Albus� instruction��

Bugger. �Yes, I have.�

�Doing
what?�

�Research.
On things he thinks will be useful for what�s coming.�

�Okay.�

�Sure?�

Ron nodded
and smiled absentmindedly. �I�m just a bit anxious now. You hear something like
I heard today and it makes you want to run around protecting everyone you love
and you can�t.�

�I feel the
same way. Except you�re the only person I have to protect.�

Sighing,
Ron stood up and stretched his arms above his head. �I should get an early
night� need to be bright and enthusiastic for the morning,� he muttered,
sounding anything but.

�Ron, it�s not even gone eight yet. You can�t just go to bed because you don�t
want to sit here and talk to me.�

�It�s not
that I don�t want to, I�m just� uneasy,� Ron looked at him with a creased brow.
�You know before, when I was trailing around with Harry and Hermione, it was
worrying. My family were at risk because of my friendship with Harry and I
hated how Hermione was involved in everything, putting her life on the line
next to me� I just wanted to protect her and thought that was the limit of my
protective instinct. Now I�m realising it wasn�t, and I don�t like it. What
with today, and last night where I felt that way hearing about your past� I�m
just a bit baffled by it, okay?�

Severus
stood up and crossed the small space to embrace Ron tightly. �I know what you
mean. This is new for me, too��

They stood
for a few minutes locked in each other�s arms. The smell of Ron pervaded
Severus� nose, a soapy, musky scent which never changed, even when he was wet,
sweaty or under the weather. Soapy� bath�
that�d be new, we�ve never shared a bath before.

�Hmm. Could
I convince you to get in the bath with me?�

Ron pulled
back and looked at him with an eyebrow raised. �You� Mr Cleanliness, wants to
share a bath with me?�

�So I like
things clean,� Severus rolled his eyes and pointed his wand at the bathroom,
turning on the light. �It�s not as though I�m obsessively cleaning up after
you.�

He pulled
away from Ron and went across the hall, eyes falling on the bathtub, wondering
quite how much to enlarge it. �Engorgio,� he whispered,
pointing his wand and let it grew as much as he could whilst still leaving room
to walk in the bathroom.

Satisfied,
he put the plug in and let it fill. He knew Ron would laugh when he smelt it,
but he opened a cabinet and tipped in two slugs of separate foaming bath oils,
one strawberry and one coconut. An odd concoction but a mix
of their favourites.

�Smells
good,� Ron laughed from the living room, bending to pick up his bottle off the
floor. �Oh!� he exclaimed, seeing someone�s face in the fire. �Shit, Remus, how
long have you been there?�

�What?�
Severus called from the bathroom, thinking he was talking to him. Then he heard
Remus Lupin�s voice in his living room and he jumped.

�Sorry,
Ron, am I disturbing your evening?�

�Er, no, of course not,� Ron glanced to the bathroom where
he could see Severus standing in the door frame. �Are you looking for me or
Severus?�

�I was
looking for Severus, but not to worry-�

�He�s
here,� Ron gestured out of Remus� sight. �I can get him.�

�No, it�s
fine. I need to� well I�ll speak to him another time.�

And then he
was gone out of the fire. Ron looked at Severus and shrugged. �Why are our
friends so weird?�

�Remus
Lupin is not �our� friend, he�s your friend,� Severus said pointedly. �He
obviously wanted to talk to me in private.�

�Oh! I�ve
just remembered� Harry said he spoke to him the other day and he seemed really
concerned about me, asking how our relationship was� and I quote if Harry
thought there was anything �untoward� going on.�

You meddling fucker, Lupin. �That sounds like the sort of
backwards claptrap Remus Lupin would spout,� Snape shrugged. �I don�t know what
his game is.�

�Is there a
game?� Ron frowned, walking out of the living room.

Severus
shrugged again. �I honestly have no idea. We haven�t had a polite word between
us in years. We didn�t part amicably when school finished and you saw how it
went when he was at school teaching with me.� He�s sticking his fucking nose in where it�s not wanted now he knows
what�s going on is what he�s doing. Fucking bastard.

�Would you
like me to go through the fire and tell him you�re not holding me hostage?� Ron
asked, tipping the last dregs of the bottle into his mouth.

�No,�
Severus shook his head firmly. �If Remus wants assurances he can come to me
himself. I�m not having either of us chase him down to placate his conscience.�

�But why on
earth would he care?� Ron asked, perching on the side of the bath.

Severus
sighed and turned around, unbuttoning his shirt. �Because he
has always pretended to care about people.�

�Hey, come
on, that�s not fair,� Ron frowned. �He does care about people.�

Severus
rolled his eyes and hung his shirt on the back of the door. He undid the button
of his jeans as he said, �Ron. He just craves affection and love, it�s not
real��

�So if someone
craves affection and love that means none of their attentions and caring is
real?� He said with a half-challenge in his tone.

�No, not
everyone,� Severus stepped out of his jeans and underwear and left them
uncharacteristically on the floor, so involved in the conversation. �But Remus
Lupin, yes.�

�That�s
ridiculous,� Ron folded his arms. �How can you be so judgemental? Is it really
the werewolf thing?�

Severus
groaned exasperatedly. �No, no it�s not the fucking werewolf thing. But it�s
just��

�Just what?�

�Embarrassing,�
Severus raised his chin slightly and stared hard at Ron.

Rolling his
eyes Ron stripped off his clothes and threw them onto the floor on top of
Severus�. Facing each other naked, Ron flicked his wand at the living room.

�What did
you just do?� Severus asked, stirring the water gently with his hand.

�Blocked the Floo. Or do you want the world and its mate to tramp in on us in
the bath?�

�I never
block my Floo,� Severus said with a smirk and a voice full of innuendo as he
got in, the hot water flattening the dark hair on his legs.

Despite
their previous discussion, Ron giggled childishly and watched as Severus sat
down, the water swallowing his body. Ron turned and walked into the kitchen,
heading for the fridge. Two cold bottles of ale in his hand, he returned to the
bathroom and shut the door behind him. He extinguished all but the candles
closest nearest the bath and finally climbed in, handing Severus both drinks to
hold whilst he settled himself.

�Got to say
this beats going out for dinner,� Severus winked, washing the water up over his
arms and shoulders.

Ron slid to
lie down and rested his back on the slope of the tub, raising his bottle to his
lips. �Yup. Now go on then, tell me the no doubt
thrilling tale of why you don�t think Remus Lupin cares for anyone.�

Bugger I hoped you�d forgotten it. �Fine. You
know that we had carnal relations at school��

�S-e-x.
Say it. You�re not five.�

�Fine,�
Severus growled. �We had sex when we were sixteen� in a broom cupboard.�

�And it was
bad� good� catastrophic?�

Severus
thought back and finally answered, �The last one.� He shook his head. �You have
to understand that I was� well. I was still very much in love with Lily at that
point. She�d cut off all contact with me and instead of waking up and smelling
the roses my feelings just got deeper and deeper. But I was also struggling
with the fact that most of the boys around the school were starting to look a
bit pretty.�

Ron snorted
and Severus poked his leg under the water. �Sorry.�

�Anyway.
Obviously, every class I was in, Potter, Back and Lupin were also there. They
had taken all the same subjects I had for NEWT and I just couldn�t fucking escape them. They were everywhere. Oh god just
thinking about that makes me want to punch the living daylights out of James
Potter.�

�Lets keep the hatred to the minimum,� Ron didn�t smile.
�It�s in the past and you�ve moved on.�

Oh really? How are you so fucking
sure, Ron? How do you know I�m not still in love with her? �I sat next to Lupin in Potions. He was
good at it, but nowhere near my level and I could tell
he liked sitting next to me for the knowledge. But I had to put up with Sirius
Black dancing around my table every lesson. It drove me mad. And then one day,
when I was sitting stirring a Potion of Peace one hundred times in each
direction, I noticed that Lupin was a bit quieter than usual, and that Sirius
Black�s perfect little arse wasn�t bent out from our table as usual.�

�He paused as he saw Ron�s eyebrow quirk at his
description of Sirius. �Oh, Ron� even if he was a prick, I can�t deny that when
he was younger, before Azkaban got him, Sirius Black was beautiful. I�m not
getting into that though. Anyway. Remus continued to
be quiet, he wasn�t even politely talking about the
shared storeroom ingredients� So I knew something was up with them. I looked
round and Sirius had a face like thunder, I can see it right now without even
closing my eyes. I hope you�ll forgive me when I say that I suddenly felt a lot
happier.�

Taking
pleasure in someone else�s misery wasn�t something Ron was keen on, but he
could see Severus� point.

�We got to
the end of the lesson and the bell rang and Lupin moved pretty slowly. Black
and Potter left the classroom without him and it� well. It was lucky the room
emptied because the floodgates opened. I packed up my stuff and was about to
leave him to it when he spoke to me, said he couldn�t face being alone and
could I stay with him for a bit. Now this was a guy who had done nothing to
stop his friends tormenting me in six years, and nothing had gone between us
that you could call friendly.�

�You walked
off and left him?� Ron sipped his drink.

�No,
actually, something compelled me to sit down and talk to him. He was upset
because he�d tried to talk to Sirius about his feelings for him that morning
and it hadn�t gone well�� Severus� eyes searched Ron�s face to see if he knew
that particular piece of information.

�Harry and
I talked about that this morning� were they sleeping together, then?�

Severus
laughed sneeringly. �Only after Remus had found his
confidence. But they did eventually. It was why I was so, so convinced
Remus must have been helping him in your third year� they were lovers, not many
people knew it and most that had were dead.�

�So where
do you come into this equation?� Ron asked.

�Well that
afternoon, when he was crying, he admitted he didn�t know whether he was on his
arse or his head, basically. He was going through hormonal changes like the
rest of us couldn�t comprehend, with the lycanthropy and such� He said if he
had the chance to sleep with a man, he would� because then he�d know.�

�And you
stepped up to bat?� Ron said incredulously. �How� helpful of
you!�

�Don�t you
dare attribute that to any form of �good character�,� Severus looked into the
bath water shaking his head. �No. I did it because I wanted to know, too, if my
feelings were warranted� I knew Remus would never tell but inside it was like a
personal victory over Sirius Black�s smug face, that I was defiling his friend
in a broom cupboard.�

�It�s not
defiling if both parties consent,� Ron rolled his eyes.

�I
suppose,� Severus conceded. �But there you have it.�

�And you
were never tempted to do it again?�

�Remus
Lupin didn�t say another word to me our entire time at school, Ron. No, there
were no further midnight meetings in the cupboard.�

�I wonder
if Dumbledore knew all the sex that happens in the school�s broom cupboards
he�d keep them there� they�re the ultimate accomplice in misdeeds.�

�Oh he
knows,� Severus shook his head. �I�ve mentioned it before and apparently it�s
an essential element of boarding school education. Take from that what you
will,� he waved his beer bottle.

Ron laughed
and sent the water rippling around them both. �So what d�you
reckon now? Remus is concerned about you in your relationship with me? Or he�s
concerned about me with you?�

Severus
shrugged and put his bottle down on the wide rim of the bath. �Could be either. I still don�t think he cares about either
of us though, personally. After I did that for him he didn�t even fucking say
thank you. Here, here�s my virginity for you on a plate and you can spit all
over it when you�re done.�

�You sound
really bitter about it�� Ron sat up and looked at him. �Did you have feelings
for him or something?�

�No,�
Severus lied. Lie. Lie. �But a thank
you would have been nice, it�s all I�m saying. And the
fact that he didn�t say thank you has always convinced me that all his nicety is just a front.�

Ron fell
back down. �God. Remus must really have hurt when
Sirius died� to get him back, and then lose him so soon afterwards.� He shook
his head. �I know you don�t like them, there�s no love lost� but that can�t
have been easy to deal with.�

�I imagine
not,� Severus agreed, but showed no sign of emotion.

�So much
pain caused by one fucking monster�� Ron shook his head with a scowl of disgust
curling onto his lips. �It makes me so angry.�

Severus
said nothing and stared into the bathwater again.

Ron took a
large mouthful and swallowed slowly, feeling the bitter taste assault his
tongue as it went. He bent up his long legs so the tops came out of the water.

�Let�s
change the subject,� Severus said with a false tone of cheeriness. It was clear
that the thought of death and destruction was lingering around both of them
that evening.

Ron grunted
in assent and blew gently into his bottle top. �Speaking to George today� he
said they�d expected me to go and beg them for a job at the shop, so they�d
kept one open for me� and now I�ve gotten myself on the training they�re
without.�

Severus
looked at him, soul searching. �They expected you to beg them for a job?�

�It�s what
I told them I�d do at Easter,� Ron admitted. �I had no idea this,� he waved in
the space between Severus and himself, �Was going to happen, that I�d move in
with you and not need a job straight away.�

�Still.
Did it not feel a tiny bit satisfying to be able to say �no, I don�t need your
charity?�� Severus asked quietly.

�It did, but not as much as I thought it would,� Ron admitted. �When I was
little, everything was a competition and now� like
with the exam results. When Charlie sat there and told me I�d trumped his
record it didn�t feel as good as I thought it might, when I laid in my bed aged
eleven feeling like I was going to be one hell of a disappointment to mum and
dad.�

Severus
tugged his drink out of his hand with a smile and set alongside his own on the
rim of the bath tub. Then he moved forward in the water to rest on top of Ron,
the bath tub being amply big enough to accommodate them.

�Mmm, now that�s nice,� Ron smiled, kissing him between the
eyes. �Why on earth haven�t we done this before?�

�I don�t
know,� Severus rubbed his arm under the water. �But it�s something I�m going to
bookmark for the future.� He kissed him deeply, tenderly, for the entire world
as though it were the first time all over again.

Ron
smoothed his hands over Severus� wet back, finger span easily crossing the
narrow width. The candlelight was warming his pale skin to a glow and he looked
divine, raven hair still clean from his morning shower, only wet from the neck
down. His skin was glistening with the bath oil and smelt ten times as sweet as
usual. They were laying crotch-to-crotch in the bath, nothing separating their
naked bodies from contact. With a wave of affection, Ron thought how this was
easily the most intimate situation he�d ever found himself
in. The sex was intimate, of course, but this was different. It was romantic
and it was warming� he knew soon they�d be fucking each other�s brains out, but
this� this was something special. Something he never really contemplated.

�What are you thinking?� Severus smiled, kissing his collarbone lightly. �I can
almost hear the cogs turning in that beautiful head.�

Ron
chuckled and said, �Just thinking how romantic this is� and how I never thought
that I�d do this with anybody.�

�I thought
up until you started dreaming sweetly about me you were up for a married life
with Wonder Witch?� Severus winked at his new nickname for Hermione.

Ron sighed
and said, �Yeah, I was� but I didn�t think we�d do stuff like this, did I?�

Severus
laughed and kissed the hollow of his throat next. �That�s why, Ron, sometimes
it pays to have an older partner��

�I�m not
going to disagree with that,� he winked back. �The things you�ve taught me have
been invaluable.�

Severus
squeezed one of his nipples in response. �Shall we take this upstairs?� he
whispered coyly. Fucking
girl. Just say you want to
fuck.

�Why bother
going upstairs� the bathtub is just fine��

But Severus
stood up in front of him, his body dripping as he stood above Ron in all his
naked glory. �Well, I�m going upstairs,� he shrugged, and stepped out onto the
bath mat, reaching for his towel. He dried himself methodically, knowing Ron�s
eyes were not leaving his body. God I
hate it when you look at me. �You�re making me self-conscious,� he
murmured, giving his crotch a rub with the towel.

Ron laughed
and stood up himself, pulling the plug out as he went. Severus handed him a
towel but Ron, with a glint in his eye, refused it. �You dry me�� He climbed
out carefully onto the bathmat, before throwing his arms around Severus and
rendering all his previous drying worthless.

�Oh you
little sod,� Severus breathed, opening the towel out and bringing it round
Ron�s thin shoulders, where Ron took it in his hands and squashed Severus to
him closing the towel behind his back.

The
friction between them was delicious. Severus kissed him, sneaking his arms
around his thin waist which Ron was loathe to reject.
His erection was starting to grow and Severus couldn�t miss it as it pressed
harder into his own. A desperate groan escaped one of their mouths; they were
so closely entwined that neither could pinpoint who it had come from. And then,
with a fluid movement, they were moving against one another, lips feverishly
kissing lips, tongues massaging tongues. Ron started to make his continual moan
and Severus found the strength to pick him up which Ron quickly caught on to
and wrapped his legs around Severus� waist. Without really thinking about it,
he found his back against the cold bathroom wall and he gasped aloud in shock.

Severus was
too busy sucking on his neck to notice it, however. �Ron, how the hell did you
get to taste so good?� He breathed on the wet skin, licking a trail right the
way up to his jawline.

Ron
answered with a whimper and Severus smiled. He reached over and opened the
door, and steam billowed into the cold hallway. He pulled back from the wall
taking Ron with him, careful to navigate all of Ron�s limbs safely through the
doorframe, turning towards the stairs. Ron halted him in his tracks with
another deep kiss and by running his hands through the now slightly
sweat-dampened raven hair.

�Oh I swear
to Merlin and anyone else who has the audacity to be listening if you do that
again I will take you right here in this hallway,� he hissed once his lips were
free.

He knew Ron
wouldn�t be able to resist that sort of provocation and found his mouth
assaulted again and his hair being tangled and tugged by long, thin fingers. He
groaned and sank to his knees, still carrying Ron. His back clicked again and
yet again he ignored it. He pushed Ron back onto the smooth floorboards and
grinned as Ron hissed at their chilled temperature.

�Accio,� he said quietly, and held his hand out for the wand
which came flying out of the bathroom, where he�d left
it.

�So what
are you going to do to me tonight?� Ron asked with a smirk. �Fucking,
bondage, both, magical assault?�

�Tonight
I�m going to have you all to myself,� Severus ducked his head sucked on the
same nipple he�d pinched erect in the bath. �If, of course,
you approve?� He swiped his tongue across it, causing a gasp to tear up
out of Ron�s throat.

�Oh, you
don�t know how much I approve,� he felt his cock harden.

Severus
smiled. �I do, don�t you worry.�

He found
himself heading straight for lubrication, which was odd for them, but it just
didn�t seem necessary, they were both so hard and wanting. He was stretching
Ron before he knew it, the redhead moaning on the floor and spreading his legs
so wide they hit the walls of the hallway. �In, now,� he panted.

�Desperate
tonight, aren�t we?� Severus whispered, and spread the lube over his erection
withholding an internal whimper.

�Hold me
tight,� Ron begged him, a strange request, Severus thought, as he positioned
himself and entered slowly.

�Oh god,�
he moaned aloud, forgetting his usual attempt at keeping his voice down. Ron
was just so fucking tight every time they did this, he never got any looser and
it felt amazing. He felt amazing.

Severus did
as Ron had asked, when he was fully inside of him he crept his hands beneath
Ron�s back took him tightly in his arms and Ron mirrored the grip on his own
body. Severus rocked back and forth gently to accustom them both to the
tightness. Ron moaned happily into his neck, he could feel him inhaling his
scent, turning his nose up so it pushed into his hair, falling freely about his
face. The moan made his hips jerk unwillingly and he kissed Ron�s shoulder
gently. Ron looked up at him with eyes clouded by the heat of the moment.

�We don�t
do this enough,� he stroked with his hand.

�What make love in the hallway?� Severus laughed in his ear.

�That�s just it, make love anywhere��

�We do it all the time,� Severus moved his hips back and forth, picking up a
rhythm.

Ron gasped
a few times before getting his words out. �N-no, we f-fuck,� he explained,
letting his eyelids slid shut with the pleasure. �But we don�t often m-make
love. Oh god yeah��

Severus
didn�t reply for a time, instead concentrating on moving back and forth in Ron,
never actually pulling out but properly creating a smooth sequence of movement.
Ron was whimpering slightly by the time he did answer. �No, I suppose we �ah fuck- don�t make love that often.�

Ron kissed
along his jaw to his lips and whispered, �I think we should make a conc� oh fuck yes, right there, faster� a concerted� a
concerted��

Severus
kissed him, pushing his tongue in Ron�s mouth, drowning out the end of the
sentence. Ron was moaning properly now, if there was one thing Severus simply
adored the most about him, it was how fucking vocal he was during anything
sexual. Such a difference to Severus, who normally remained oh-so-quiet� But he�s teaching you to be louder.

Ironically,
when Ron next bucked his hips up to meet Severus� thrust, a louder groan
escaped his lips and Ron clutched him in response. �I love it when you make
noise,� he breathed. �You never normally do��

Severus
couldn�t help it as another grunt fell from his lips and he gasped at the air,
eyes shut as he plunged deeper into Ron, who had put aside all abandon now and
was bucking up and writhing and�

�Ohhhhhhbollocks,� Severus cried out, squeezing his eyes
shut as the burning warmth engulfed his cock and he spurted slowly, from what
felt like the very depths of his balls, into the tight space.

Panting, he
felt Ron�s hand slide from his back and get in between them, reaching for his
own erection to help himself finish. Severus knocked it out of the way and
remained inside Ron, whilst moving his hand up and down between their bodies,
feeling Ron harden and hearing him hiss as each stroke brought him nearer.

Severus
ducked his head and kissed his lips before scraping his thumb over the soggy
tip. Ron refused him permission to back away by gripping him tightly and
screamed inaudibly into his mouth as he came over both of their stomachs. And
he didn�t stop screaming until the last push was out of him, where he merely
let go of Severus� mouth and moaned for a further minute, until the throbbing
dizziness had subsided.

�Fuck,
Ron,� Severus said weakly, dropping his own dizzy head onto the shoulder now
laying flat on the floor. �I take it back� there are advantages to having an
older lover, but none of them beat having you as one. I mean� I� fuck.�

The all
encompassing emotion that apparently came with loving Ronald Weasley threatened
to overpower him, as it did after every powerful ejaculation that the redhead
squeezed out of him. He tried to still his breathing and calm down but it
wasn�t working.

Ron still
had his back in a tight grip, squeezing for all his worth. It wasn�t until it
started to hurt that Severus thought to look up and was alarmed at what he saw�
tears rolling sideways off Ron�s face, dripping down onto the floor. �Oh my god are you alright?� Severus tried to pull up but Ron�s
grip prevented it. �Stop crying�stop� or you�ll make me��

But it was
a moot point. His eyes were already welling up anyway and as they spilled over
he noticed a fresh wave roll out of Ron�s.

�What a
pair of fucking wet blouses we are,� Ron half-sobbed. �Oh Jesus, Severus�� If
possible, he gripped him tighter and Severus felt his come squelch further
between them.

�What?�
Severus sniffed slightly, breath hitching as he spoke.

�I�m scared,� Ron bit his lip in his worry.

Severus
didn�t need to ask of what, because he knew his fears were the same as Ron�s�
the fear of what they�d just shared being gone, the intensity fading away, or
being ripped away from them� �I know, he whispered quietly, and bought a hand
up to stroke his hair protectively. �Me too...�
