Story: Twisted & Unrecognizable
Notes: In the second chapter I wrote the final battle date as being June 23. I should have read May 8. Apologies and going forward let us all just act like I wrote May 8! Enjoy Lovelies!
Previously:
Dinner was a quiet peaceful affair, both men filled the other in on the happenings going on in their work life; Kingsley's day was generally more exciting than Severus' but that suited the potions master just fine. Severus enjoyed his quiet sedate life; Merlin knew he had experienced enough excitement in his past to last the rest of his life.
After everything was cleaned and put away Severus snuggled up on the cushy sofa in Kingsley strong arms. Both men read, enjoying the merrily crackling fire as they sipped from their glasses of fire whiskey.
Soon it was time to retire to bed for the night, after their nightly routines they slipped under the thick blankets. Severus sighed in pleasure when Kingsley scooted behind Severus and spooned his smaller body. Severus felt safe and protected inside Kingsley's sweet embrace; sleep as it always did when Kingsley was there came easily.
~~~~~~~*********Chapter 3********~~~~~~~
Severus was awoken by the winter sunlight filtering into his bedroom through the slightly open drapes. Not wanting to get up just yet Severus buried himself deeper under the blankets and closer to his lover's warm body.
A deep chuckle was heard somewhere in the vicinity of Severus' head before a kiss was placed to the black haired man's head. "I see you're awake Severus." A huff of irritation left the potion master's thin lips. "Unfortunately yes. But I would like to go back to sleep if it is possible."
Not waiting for Kingsley's response Severus closed his onyx eyes, snuggled back into his lover's chest and proceeded to drift back to sleep. Unfortunately Kingsley had other plans, the larger man slid out from under Severus' almost slumbering form, slipped on a warm dressing robe and made his way to the en suite bathroom.
Severus huffed loudly in annoyance; he would never get back to sleep now! Sighing through his noise he roused himself from his warm bed, shivering when his feet touched the cold wooden floor. He really needed to get a rug for bedroom, he was tired of his feet being frozen every morning.
Putting on his own dressing gown Severus made his way to the bathroom to brush his teeth, and complete his other morning rituals. Kingsley was just reappearing from the washroom as Severus passed him; Kingsley placed a quick kiss to Severus' head and a playful slap on his arse.
The former Auror danced away before Severus could retaliate with a slap of his own, quickly leaving the bedroom to start their breakfast. Severus smiled good naturedly at his lover's antics.
Severus was truly grateful to have someone like Kingsley in his life. Their relationship had started when they had run into each other at Hogwarts; Severus was getting a checkup a few weeks after he was released and Kingsley was stopping by to say "Hello" to Madam Pomfrey.
When Kingsley had seen Severus there his demeanor was cautious, as if he was approaching a very dangerous animal and was afraid Severus would attack him. Severus for his part was waiting for the condemnation of guilt from the newly appointed permanent Minister of Magic.
No condemnation was forthcoming though; Kingsley had approached the former spy kindly if cautiously, and inquired about his health. Severus was a bit unsettled by the older man's gentle tone but answered honestly.
The conversation flowed easily between them now that Severus could speak his mind without worrying about what he said. They spoke of so much; their lives at Hogwarts when they were students, Severus had never known Kingsley had been in seventh year when he had entered his first.
Severus found himself speaking of his potions; how he wanted to patent them, sell them and what he wanted to do now that he was free to pursue his passions. Creating new potions being one of them; Kingsley had been supportive and attentive while Severus spoke.
Kingsley spoke if his work as Minister; how much of a mess the Ministry was after Voldemort's fall. The constant pressure on him to round up the rest of the Death Eaters. Trying to get their world in order with an undermanned Auror Dept. Severus felt a bit sorry for Kingsley and what he went through every day at work.
They even came from similar backgrounds; Kingsley mother being a muggle. Severus was sure that Kingsley childhood wasn't like his in every way, the dark skinned man's parents obvously loved him, but it was still nice to talk to someone who had knowledge of the muggle world. It became tiresome trying to explain muggle things like refrigerators and phones to clueless purebloods all the time.
Still lost in his thoughts Severus absently picked up his toothbrush, applied the toothpaste and began to scrub his teeth. A dreamy look in his dark eyes, as his and Kingsley's relationship flashed across his mind's eye...
It was now five months since that day had happened in the hospital ward at Hogwarts; Kingsley had stayed on Severus' mind for a long time, thoughts of the Minister just simply refused to go away. Severus finally broke down and did something about his rather obnoxious thoughts.
Severus had invited Kingsley over for supper about 3 months ago. He remembered Kingsley confessing he didn't really know how to cook, and he had no one at home to cook for him. Severus convinced himself it was because he wanted to thank the man for his efforts in restoring their world to them by providing said man with a good meal. It was a bad lie even Severus knew that.
The truth was Severus was scared by his constant thoughts of Kingsley, not all of them were innocent either. It had been so long since he had taken a lover or even showed the slightest interest in anyone sexually. Add to the fact that he wasn't all that much to look at, and the offers of a relationship were few and far between.
Severus had little hope that Kingsley would be interested in him; he just figured Kingsley accepted his offer out of kindness; he probably didn't want to offend Severus by refusing his offer of dinner.
Severus couldn't have been more wrong! Kingsley had entered his home and placed a soft kiss to Severus' sallow cheek, a bright smile that showed Kingsley's perfect teeth on his handsome face.
Severus didn't know what to do with himself at that moment. Yes, he had taken an interest in the older man but that was as far as he had let himself go. He never thought someone as desirable as Kingsley Shacklebolt would return his feelings.
Severus chuckled as he continued brushing his teeth; Kingsley had looked so nervous when Severus continued to just stare at him, and eventually sputtered an apology for misunderstanding Severus' intentions.
Severus took that moment to stop the man from talking, placing his lips to the other mans. Their first real kiss had been sweet, a simple pressing of lips. That simple kiss had led to where they were now, practically living together at Spinner's End.
Leaning over Severus rinsed his now clean mouth and toothbrush before seeing to his other needs. Five minutes later Severus emerged from the bathroom and began to make his way to the kitchen; silently preying his lover hadn't set anything on fire.
Kingsley really hadn't been lying when he said he couldn't cook well, the extent of his skills were toast, eggs and reheating meals already made for him. All in all the cooking generally fell to Severus, and he did not mind it one bit.
He liked taking care of Kingsley. Severus liked that Kingsley relied on him to cook his meals, and brew any potions the man may need. It was nice to be needed for something other than information or his skills in the Dark Arts.
Make no mistake Severus was not Kingsley's little housewife, that would never happen! Severus would castrate anyone who suggested it; Kingsley pulled his fair share of weight around the house as well. Laundry had been the task Kingsley was finally relegated to; the man really was a nightmare with most cooking or cleaning charms.
An amused smile came to the younger man's lips when he walked into the kitchen and watched Kingsley try to scrape the burned sections off the toast. Severus cleared his throat; this caused Kingsley to to turn and flash him a sheepish grin.
Deciding to rescue the man from certain culinary disaster Severus shooed him out of the way so he could get breakfast underway. Kingsley took his customary perch on the bar stool at the counter, watching Severus' hips and bum sway as he made his way deftly around the kitchen.
Severus smirked at his lover when he caught those coffee colored eyes checking out his backside, and winked saucily at the seated man. Soon enough Kingsley's focus was pulled from Severus' pert backside by the appearance of his breakfast.
Both men dug in happily, enjoying the comfortable silence. Kingsley wiped his mouth when he finished his pancake and spoke; "Remember Sev we have that thing tonight at Hogwarts." Severus scowled; oh yes he remembered the thing as Kingsley referred to it as.
This thing was a remembrance for the people who had fallen at the Battle. Severus had no issue with this at all, many good men and women died that day and they deserved to be remembered with the highest of honors.
Severus' issue lay with the timing and planning; it was to take place at 7pm and the dress was formal. They were turning a somber event that deserved the utmost respect into a cocktail party with depressing undertones. Whoever planned this thing was a moron!
"I remember perfectly well Kingsley. I shall be ready by 6:45 so we can floo to Minerva's office." Kingsley just smiled, taking Severus' slim hand and placed a soft kiss to his palm. "Thank you for coming Severus. I know you hate these kinds of things."
Severus just nodded, standing so he could clear up. Before he moved away to clean the dishes Severus placed a kiss to Kingsley bald head. Severus knew Kingsley thought he didn't like going to social events because of the crowds and while in the past that reason was valid it wasn't the reason now.
Severus hated these things now because people stared at him when he walked in with Kingsley. They looked at him with judgment in their eyes, and no matter what Severus did, no matter how well he dressed, or acted those eyes judged him wanting.
It frustrated and hurt Severus; why couldn't people just accept him for who he was. Yes, he wasn't the nicest or most attractive, but he was a good person underneath the sarcasm and horrible past choices.
It was always this way for Severus though; no one looked at him and saw him. Well that wasn't true Kingsley saw him. Severus knew his lover cared for him; sometimes he just wanted Kingsley to hold him tightly, while being told that he was loved, that he was perfect as he was. Severus would never ask for this though, Kingsley needed to do it on his own.
As strong as Severus was he would always have that lonely sad beautiful boy crying out in the back of his mind; crying out for the love, and support that had been so cruelly denied to him in his childhood.
Shaking his head at his upsetting thoughts Severus began casting the cleaning charms on the dishes in the sink, and the dirty kitchen counter. He pushed his thoughts to more mundane things, like what would he wear tonight...
So we are moving right along! I hope you all are enjoying it so far and slash will occur next chapter.
