CHRISTMAS STORIES
Baby It's Cold Outside
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Christmas Night, 2000
"Well, Mr. Potter, I think it's about time I left…I stayed quite a bit longer than I intended."
I really can't stay
(but baby it's cold outside)
I've got to go away
(but baby it's cold outside)
This evening has been
(been hoping that you'd drop in)
So very nice
"But…" sputtered Harry Potter in surprise, not ready for the man to leave quite yet. At the raised eyebrow the man gave him, Harry fought a blush. "Erm…It's…it's snowing."
That eyebrow moved higher. "Yes, I am aware."
"It's…snowing badly, you know…snow storm and all," Harry said.
"I am a wizard, Mr. Potter…I won't be walking the streets or driving," Severus assured him with an amused smirk.
"Well…You couldn't fly," Harry pointed out.
"Obviously," Severus said, smirk growing a bit. "You are connected to the Floo network, are you not?"
"Err…It's not working, actually," Harry fibbed. "I need someone to come take a look at it."
(i'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start worry
(beautiful whats your hurry)
My father will be pacing the floor
(listen to the fireplace roar)
So really i'd better scurry
(beautiful please don't hurry)
"I can always go the same way I came…I have an Apparation license, you realize, Potter? I am forty years old now," Severus said.
"Yes, but you'd have to go outside and just past my wards to do it," Harry said. "It may not be far, but it is cold and it is dark," Harry pointed out.
"I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself," Severus assured him.
"No, I know…But I just…You know…thought it would be better…safer…You could stay, you know?" Harry finally said. "It's a big house and…there's no reason to hurry home…Unless you're expecting someone…" Harry said, bracing himself for the response.
Severus snorted. "Unlikely. I am hardly good company, Mr. Potter…People do not visit me unless they need to, especially on such a heart-warming holiday as Christmas."
"See? Nothing to worry about then…This way you don't have to be alone on Christmas."
"I was never worried about that, Potter."
but maybe just a half a drink more
(put some records on while i pour)
the neighbors might faint
(baby it's bad out there)
say what's in this drink
"Want some wine?" Harry asked instead of carrying on trying to give reasons for Severus to stay. Might as well just act like he had agreed to it.
Severus just stared at him a moment before shaking his head and muttering unintelligibly to himself. "I might need something stronger if you expect me to remain in your company tonight."
Harry chuckled and tried to bite back the rush of excitement that danced through him at Severus's way of agreeing to stay. He hopped up from the couch and quickly fixed them both a glass of firewhiskey and walked back out, handing Severus his glass and sitting back beside him on the couch, a bit closer than he had previously been sitting. Would Severus notice? Would he say anything? Harry felt a bit anxious as he thought about it and found it hard to look at Severus. He couldn't help it…He wanted to be closer…wanted to touch the man…wanted more than anyone should ever want from Severus Snape.
It all started last Christmas, Harry remembered. He had spent his whole evening at the Burrow with his mind on Severus and coming to the awful realization that if he wasn't in love with the man, he was at the very least falling for him. He had broken up with Ginny a few weeks later and confessed the horrible truth to his best friends shortly thereafter. Ron had been a bit furious at first, but they reconciled after a bit…Well, more after Harry admitted the truth to Ginny and she got over it and Ron was soothed by the fact that his sister was no longer heartbroken over being left because her boyfriend was gay.
He had gone to the Burrow again this year…Breaking up with Ginny hadn't done anything to his relationship with the family. They were still his family and he still loved them. Of course, he made plans to leave early, considering Severus had owled him a few days previously, agreeing to meet with him Christmas night, if it was agreeable, to discuss the possibility of Severus making a potion that could help Harry's eyesight. Magic could fix a lot of things, but most wizards with eye problems normally just kept to glasses, as more severe sight problems could be tricky to fix and could risk losing your sight altogether if done wrong.
(no cabs to be had out there)
i wish i knew how
(your eyes are like starlight now)
to break this spell
"Drink up, Potter. You seem tense," Severus pointed out after a few silent minutes. Harry had just been holding his glass, staring into space, lost in thought.
"I'm fine," Harry lied automatically. He quickly lifted his glass and took a long drink of the firewhiskey, finding the way it burned down his throat to be soothing and properly distracting.
"If you are that uncomfortable by my stay, you shouldn't have asked, Potter," Snape said, sounding amused.
"No! I want you to stay," Harry blurted out.
(i'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
i ought to say "no, no, no sir"
(mind if i move in closer)
Severus shifted a bit and peered at Harry in a manner the young man couldn't quite define at the moment. "And why would that be?"
at least i'm gonna say that i tried
(what's the sense in hurtin' my pride)
i really can't stay
(oh baby don't hold out)
Shite. He knew! Severus knew. Harry swallowed hard as he stared at the man he loved, more than aware of his closeness and somehow just knowing…seeing it in Severus's eyes and hearing it in his voice. Severus knew. Harry was frozen for a moment before licking his lips and quickly glancing upwards, scanning his ceiling for the damned mistletoe that had followed him home. At the Burrow, George repeatedly sent the mistletoe in every direction, trying to force anyone who was anywhere near another person to kiss. By the end, the poor mistletoe had taken to moving on its own accord and when Harry had gone to leave, it had decided to go with him, dropping onto his coat without his realizing until he got home and the thing shot up to his ceiling.
Sadly, the mistletoe was nowhere to be found and could give him no good excuse as to what he wanted to do. Disappointed, Harry looked back to Severus who was watching him expectantly, eyebrow raised. "You've been acting very strangely since I arrived, Potter," Severus pointed out.
Well…If Severus did know, and Harry had a feeling he did…Then this wouldn't be much of a surprise. Licking his lips and gathering his courage, Harry leaned forward and pressed his lips to Severus's.
baby it's cold out side
i simply must go
(but baby it's cold outside)
the answer is no
Severus pulled away after a second. "Potter, I don't think-"
Harry leaned in despite himself and kissed Severus again, a soft, chaste kiss, that no less managed to make the man shut up. "Right. Don't think," Harry encouraged quietly, pleased to feel the man's strong hands grasp his face and pull him close, kissing him deeply.
(but baby it's cold outside)
your welcome has been
(how lucky that you dropped in)
so nice and warm
Severus was still for a moment and Harry was close to pulling away and hiding away in embarrassment before the man's lips hesitantly began moving against his own. Harry reached out to tug the man closer, pleased as long arms wrapped around him and held him just as firmly. Any thoughts concerning this situation could wait until later…Harry was enjoying himself too much to over think things and ruin this utterly perfect moment. Severus felt so good and warm and strong against him…Tasted strongly of firewhiskey and cinnamon.
(look out the window at that storm)
my sister will be suspicious
(gosh your lips look delicious)
my brother will be there at the door
(waves upon the tropical shore)
"You never were good at hiding your feelings, Potter," Severus said quietly against his mouth.
"Hmm," Harry said, feeling a bit better now that Severus had let on more that he knew how Harry felt about him. "S'that a problem?" he asked, nipping at Severus's bottom lip.
my maiden aunts mind is vicious
(gosh your lips are delicious)
Instead of answering with words, Severus kissed him again. Harry eagerly twisted his body a bit, shifting himself until he was straddling Severus's lap. Severus hadn't exactly verbally reciprocated his feelings, but the fact that Severus was snogging him instead of taunting him about the fact was a good sign to him. If he didn't, though, it was better that he said nothing. Harry was enjoying this too much and never wanted it to end…Of all the gifts he had been given today, this was his favorite. It would only be better if he was given the chance to unwrap Severus, as well, and really have him.
but maybe just a cigarette more
(never such a blizzard before)
i've gotta get home
(but baby you'd freeze out there)
say lend me a coat
(it's up to your knees out there)
After several long, blissful minutes, Severus pushed Harry away and cleared his throat, eying the door. "I really should get home," Severus said in a strained voice.
you've really been grand
(i thrill when you touch my hand)
Harry frowned and fought past Severus's arms to attach his mouth to the man's throat, pleased with the quiet groan the man released. "But it's still snowing," Harry murmured. He didn't know why Severus wanted to leave…Harry wanted him so badly, and from what Harry could feel from his position in the man's lap, he wanted more, too. Maybe he felt like he was using Harry or something…Or maybe he just really didn't want him. That last thought didn't really settle much with him. In his haze of excitement and arousal he couldn't see past much but getting what he wanted from the man. This was his chance! If things did go badly, he at least wanted to make the most out of this night he did have.
but don't you see?
(how can you do this thing to me?)
"You'll be warmer here," Harry added, kissing the man softly on the lips again. "We could go up to my bedroom…If you'd be more comfortable there."
there's bound to be talk tomorrow
(think of my lifelong sorrow)
"You don't know what you want," Severus argued weakly while his hands reached around to grasp Harry's arse.
at least there will be plenty implied
(if you got pneumonia and died)
"Don't know what you're getting into," Severus mumbled quietly, kissing Harry back passionately when their lips met again.
i really can't stay
(get over that old out)
"Yeah…I do, actually," Harry breathed, kissing the man with everything that he had.
Baby it's cold
Baby it's cold outside
Harry doubted they'd make it to the bedroom when Severus turned them around to lay Harry out on the couch, pressing his own body down onto Harry's closely…But the living room was as good as anywhere else in the house.
