Previously:
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...
~~~~~~~~*********Chapter 4*********~~~~~~~~~
Severus fidgeted with the sleeve of his over robe while he checked his appearance for the last time before Kingsley and him left for Hogwarts. He selected to wear a dark emerald green robe with silver detailing with a black over robe; each piece of clothing was well made out of cashmere wool and fitted to Severus' lean form.
Taking a deep breath Severus made his way to the floo, when he arrived he smiled while giving an appreciative look at the outfit Kingsley had selected; black under robes with a stunning silvery grey over robe. The large man looked unbelievably handsome, his robes highlighting his muscular shape, and Severus once again had to think again why was this man with him?
Taking Kingsley's hand they made their way into the floo, Kingsley wrapping himself around Severus, who had grabbed a pinch the floo powder. Throwing the fine powder Severus shouted their destination; "Hogwarts, Headmistresses' Office, Scotland" followed by the password of "Leon".
A flash of green fire later Severus and Kingsley were being warmly greeted by Minerva McGonagall, the new Headmistress of Hogwarts. Severus couldn't stop the woman from hugging him and truth be told he didn't want to.
Throughout the years Minerva had been the mother figure he never had; no matter how acerbic Severus was Minerva refused to back down when she felt something was in his best interest. For that Severus would always be grateful to the older woman, not that he would ever tell her, but Severus knew Minerva knew how he felt for her.
Once the greetings, casual conversation and hugs had been given Kingsley held out his arm for Severus to take. Blushing lightly Severus slipped his arm around Kingsley's, and allowed himself to be escorted to the Great Hall.
When they reached the Great Hall Severus had to grimace; the decor was overdone for what the event was meant to be. Who decorated with streamers at a memorial event? Severus' internal question was answered in the next moment when Ginny Weasely appeared to welcome them.
"Do you like it? I didn't want it to be too sad so I livened up the decoration." Kingsley nudged Severus to warn him to be nice, and not filet the youngest Weasely to tears. Kingsley spoke for the both of them while Severus smiled but it was probably more of a grimace.
"It is quite a departure from the traditional decor that I was expecting. I'm sure everyone will be speaking about it for days to come." Severus heard the slight insult, but apparently Miss Weasely did not as she proceeded to preen at Kingsley's words.
Severus watched as Ginevra moved onto the next people entering the Hall; Kingsley and Severus began to circulate the large room, making small talk, and exchanging pleasantries with their friends. Kingsley exchanged words with his supporters and colleagues.
Severus saw the group of women who loved to make him feel horrible, not that Severus ever showed them how much their barbed comments hurt. He prayed that Kingsley would avoid them, or at the very least wouldn't hear the mean spirited words they directed at Severus.
Kingsley was above all else was a protective, caring man who took great offense when someone was rude or disrespectful to someone he cared for or anyone in general. Fate, as it usuallywas, was not on the onyx eyed man's side it seemed; when they passed the harpies. Kingsley stiffened when he head the loudly whispered disparaging remarks of "Slut" and "I wonder when the Minister will tire of his newest toy?", directed at Severus.
Severus tried to mask the hurt showing minutely in his eyes before Kingsley turned, and saw it but he wasn't quick enough. He knew Kingsley saw the pain in Severus' dark eyes; Kingsley's usually warm chocolate eyes hardened as he glared at the group of wicked banshees.
Apparently the women got Kingsley's message since they stopped giggling, and quickly moved to another section of the room. Severus hoped that Kingsley would just let it go but it wasn't to be it seemed. "We will speak on what I heard when we get home, Severus."
Severus just nodded his raven head, but responded back when Kingsley pressed their lips together. Severus took comfort in his lover's reassurance and support. The night from that point on was blessedly void of rude comments and insults.
Kingsley and Severus returned home at 10:30; Kingsley didn't wait, and pulled Severus' smaller form into his arms, pressing their chests together. His large hand grasped Severus' chin lightly, making Severus remove his head from the larger man's shoulder. Severus tightened his arms around Kingsley's neck, before allowing his head to be raised to look Kingsley in the face.
When their eyes met Severus felt his heart warm at the blazing emotions he saw in Kingsley's eyes. "I don't want you to believe what those women said tonight. You, Severus are beautiful, honorable and caring. I am lucky to have you in my life, and I have no intention of leaving you."
Severus didn't know what to say in response to his lover's sweet words; god knew he wanted to believe them, but it was hard when all your life you've been told you were greasy, ugly, weird or just unwanted. Not knowing what else to do Severus crushed his thin lips to Kingsley's full ones.
Their tongues met and battled against each others in a fiery kiss; Severus tried to express everything he was feeling at the moment; love, happiness, safe, fear, and insecurity. Kingsley responded just as intensely to Severus' unspoken confession, pouring comfort and support back through via his lips, tongue and teeth.
Kingsley brought his hands to Severus thighs and lifted his slender body off the ground. Severus wrapped his long legs around Kingsley's narrow hips instinctively, as they continued to break apart and collide again in a torrent of hard kisses.
They made their way through the house and up the stairs in a hurricane of kisses, moans and teasing touches. Finally they reached Severus' large bed where Kingsley deposited his younger lover gently.
"You are beautiful Severus. Tonight I want to show you how gorgeous you really are." Severus moaned at the sensual promise in Kingsley's deep voice, still not daring to believe Kingsley's words lest he take them back, or not truly mean them.
Severus had been led on, tricked before to let his guard down, and then left alone after he had outlived his use. He knew Kingsley wasn't like his past lovers, and Merlin knew he wanted to believe the man undressing him with such tender care.
He felt his eyes begin to water as the loving treatment brought all the hateful, cruel words to the forefront of his mind. Making him remember that he was ugly, reminding him that he didn't deserve love or care. Abhorrent creatures don't deserve love, as his father was always keen to tell him as he beat him.
Kingsley seemed to realize something was wrong with his lover, and stopped removing Severus' clothes to look into his lover's wet eyes. "Severus. Severus look at me!" Severus just closed his crying eyes and shook his head no; he couldn't let Kingsley see him like this.
Severus tried to roll away from Kingsley's body, but was promptly grabbed, and held against Kingsley's strong body. "No Severus you are going to talk to me. What's wrong? Please baby tell me what's the matter so I can fix it. Was it what those women said tonight?"
Severus gave up trying to get away, and pressed his face into the crook of Kingsley's neck, as he let his tears flow. In a muffled small voice Severus spoke; "I'm sorry, so sorry. I don't know why you stay with me.
You're so handsome and kind, anyone would want you. I don't deserve someone as kind and caring as you. Someone like me deserves to be alone." Kingsley once again seized Severus' chin and forced him to look into Kingsley's soft brown eyes.
"Don't apologize Severus; never apologize for expressing how you feel. Why do I stay with you? Because you challenge me every day with your intelligence and stubbornness. What do you mean someone like you doesn't deserve me? What do you mean when you say you deserve to be alone?"
Severus blinked away his tears, looking into Kingsley's eyes, letting the pain and sorrow he had been holding since he was seven years old show through. Kingsley's eyes softened further, as his strong arms tightened around Severus' slender body.
"Someone like me; someone ugly who doesn't deserve to be loved. I'm so disgusting that even my own father and mother didn't care for me or love me. They just ignored me or beat me until I understood that I was unnatural and unwanted.
You shouldn't be with someone whose own parents didn't even love him. I'm grateful for the time we have had together but I just keep waiting for you to realize you could do better and leave."
Kingsley's eyes filled with anger, but it quickly turned to determination mixed with an emotion that no one had even directed at Severus before; that emotion was love. "Severus I'm going to tell you a few things and I want you to listen. I'm with you because as I said you challenge me with your intelligence, your quick wit and stubborn will to have your own way when you think you're right.
I love that you care for me enough to cook for me, clean up after me, and when I come home from a stressful day you do little things to help me relax. You are not unnatural or unwanted! Your parents were the unnatural ones!
You, Severus Snape, are beautiful and kind. It is for all these reasons that I have fallen in love with you. I love you Severus and I want to be with you for as long as you'll have me. Don't ever doubt me in this because I will be telling you how much I love you, how beautiful you are everyday until you believe it."
Severus stayed quiet as he let Kingsley's impassioned words flow through his mind. He couldn't help but begin to believe those lovely words; someone loved him for whom and what he was. Up until tonight Severus had just believed that his lover cared for him, but never did he think Kingsley could truly love him.
Once he started to believe Kingsleys' words they began to bring a burning warmth into his very soul; pushing away all the negative feeling Severus had been holding inside himself. He finally believed it; someone loved him for who he was and they wanted him, faults and all.
A blinding smile broke onto Severus' face; while inside his unnaturally twisted soul and heart began to heal and return back to their normal state. The burning warmth continued to build, and spread outward to Severus' very skin. Kingsley had to let go as Severus' magic rippled, and burned across his skin.
The more Severus believed Kingsley words the hotter the feeling inside him became until it condensed in a blinding flash of light that completely encased Severus' body. When the light faded Kingsley froze when he looked at his lover's kneeling form; Severus just looked at Kingsley in confusion.
Kingsley summoned his wand, and transfigured a mirror out of a pillow so Severus could see what he was seeing; Severus looked into the mirror and froze. Where there once was an ugly, sallow, twisted man now sat a beautiful man.
Severus' lank, greasy hair returned to its once thick, shiny state that he hadn't seen in over thirty years. Severus turned his eyes to his now once again porcelain skin, and touched it tentatively, as if it would all disappear in an instant if he was too rough.
Tears of happiness replaced the tears of sorrow as Severus continued to peruse his new yet old appearance; his nose was once again straight, his thin lips had filled back in again giving his lips a pouty look. It was overwhelming to see that beautiful, sad, lonely boy all grown up and staring back at him.
Severus yawned loudly; he guessed removing the accidental glamour he had placed on himself in childhood took a lot of magical strength and energy out of him. Kingsley reached his hand out to stroke Severus' cheek tenderly as if Severus would break if he was to rough.
"What happened, love? I'm not sure I understand." Severus smiled at his confused lover, and in a sleepy voice he explained; "When I was seven I wished I looked the way I thought I should, ugly and disgusting. My magic reacted to my desperate wish and my appearance shifted to what it was.
I never knew it was reversible, I tried several counter charms and potions to make the accidental glamour go away but it refused to budge. After experiencing what I just experienced I can only guess that it was deeply connected to my emotions and feelings."
Kingsley nodded, looking more comfortable now that he knew what happened to his lover's body. "So all this happened because I told you I loved you?" Severus contemplated Kingsley's words before answering slowly.
"I believe it was partially that, but it was also that I believed your words with my whole heart and soul. When I let myself open my heart completely laid myself vulnerable, and bear in front of you; I think all of it combined to release the glamour I constructed unknowingly in my youth."
Kingsley smiled brightly, waving his wand to banish their clothes to the laundry, and took his now tired lover into his arms. Severus just let his worn body be moved under the covers, and held against Kingsley's muscular, warm body.
"You're even more beautiful than before Severus. I love you." Severus nuzzled Kingsley's chest, placing soft kisses to the mocha skin; "I love you too, Kingsley. Thank you for loving me for me."
After his words Severus shifted into a more comfortable position, languishing in the love radiating from the older man and let himself be lulled to sleep by the sound of Kingsley breathing with a soft smile on his lips.
Yes I know I said there would be slash but it just didn't fit into the chapter. So next and final chapter will feature slash. Thanks for your patience.
Bunnymort I hope this chapter answered you questions! : )
