CHAPTER FOUR: Heartfelt Words
Sirius led him into the room slowly shutting the door as Severus took a seat. Alone in this room his demeanour changed. The cold exterior seemed to slowly dissolve and his blank expressionless mask vanished. Sirius leaned heavily against the door having locked it securely with a complex locking charm the moment he'd shut the door. His eyes taking in the cold rigid and straight back posture shift. Until Severus was leaning forwards his head resting in his hands. A slow trembling spreading across his thin frame barely visible through the thick fabric of his robes. Sirius could here the quick rapid intake of breath that was the only sound Severus ever made when he wept. Sirius knew instantly that Severus had dissolved into silent tears. The man hardly made noise. It had shocked Sirius at first, but he'd soon learned why. Severus had been punished so severely for making any involuntary noise as a child he'd learned how to be silent even when crying. Sirius crossed over to his partner and slowly sank down on the seat next to him. Wrapping both arms tightly around Severus surprised again when Severus leaned into the contact. He could still remember when Severus had stiffened before responding to his touches and well any physical contact. That he wasn't doing it anymore spoke volumes to Sirius.
"Why are you so out of sorts Sev?" Sirius asked softly as he held the man pressed against his chest. Feeling the tears silently soaking into the material of his robes. He could feel the tremors getting more powerful beneath his tight hold.
"How long will you want someone like me now that everyone knows?" Severus barely whispered his voice shaking uncontrollably. As much as seeing Severus loose controlled usually turned Sirius on. This loss of control was breaking his heart. Sirius could feel his own tears beginning at the raw and unimaginable pain lacing that voice. Sirius never wanted to raise the dead to murder them again more so then in that moment. He wanted to torture Tobias Snape with every bone in his body. That the bastard has somehow instilled into Severus that he was unable to be loved. That their own actions as boys had cemented that belief and that Lily's stubbornness as a child had all but left him broken. It was enough to make Sirius wish he could go back in time and beat them all senseless for being so stupid.
"Sev, I love you," Sirius said his voice thick with tears. That caused the other man to look up and meet his gaze. Tears openly running down his cheeks. "I love you. And only you." Sirius repeated the words. Severus slowly touched his cheek. Letting the tears fall over his fingers. As if confused that Sirius was crying. "Damn it Sev. I don't want to let you go. I never want to let you go. I never will. Please. Stop. Your hurting me. Every time you say that. It hurts so damn much."
"I don't understand it," Severus whispered shaking his head. Sirius knew that. How could he. Severus had never known love. How the hell was he suppose to know what love felt like? What it was like. Of course he didn't know. Everything he'd ever known in his life had been isolation and loneliness. He'd never been loved. Even by his friends. That much was abundantly cleared to Sirius. Sure his friends must have cared deeply for Severus, he knew that, but they had never shown Severus love like he'd desperately needed. No one realized how to break through the cold barriers. Of course they didn't. No one had ridden that storm. What a storm it had been. Sirius could still remember the verbal barbs and sarcastic stabs that he'd weathered trying to show Severus the depths of his feelings. The only thing that had kept him strong in the face of the acerbic man's rejections had been the knowledge that Severus didn't know anything else. He'd tried to push him away, because he didn't want to face rejection himself.
"I know, but I want to show you Sev," Sirius whispered. "I don't want to pretend anymore. I want the whole damn world to know that I love Severus Snape and to hell with them. To hell with what they think. To hell with their prejudice and to hell with everything else. I just want you Sev. I love you. And I'll damn well tell you until you understand!" His words were growing with strength. Neither realized that Sirius's voice had risen loud enough for Alastor and Albus to hear them clearly in the library. Which was right next door.
"Siri, what if Harry doesn't approve?" Severus whispered. Fear lacing his voice. "He hates me, with good reason mind. I've been a complete ass to him."
"You don't know Harry if you think he hates you Sev. He doesn't understand you. No one does. You've made damn sure no one could. You don't trust anyone Sev," Sirius said rather angry. "I know why you don't. I know the damn cost you pay every time Albus sends you back. I know what they do to you. I see it tearing you apart. I see you loosing a bit of yourself every time you go there. Every time you answer the call. I see it when you look at the Order members. You make sure they don't trust you, because it's easier if you control the rejection. Your so afraid that they will betray you that you push them all away. You force them to be at arms length. Keep yourself separate. All the while you protect them all with your very life hanging in the balance. How the hell do you expect to just let you go? How could I? I'm the only person you've ever allowed inside your walls. The only one whose seen you truly naked. Not just in the flesh, but your soul and mind as well. How the fuck can I leave you? How?"
"I don't know," the reluctant answer came moments later. Severus's voice was so low Sirius had a hard time hearing him.
"That it Sev. I can't. I can't fucking leave you. Your the air I breath. The blood that races in my veins. Your my very soul. I can't leave you, anymore then I could hurt you," Sirius states loudly. Following the statement with a passionate kiss. Severus returns the kiss with abandon. His lips pushing hard against Sirius. His tongue parting the lips. A moan escapes Sirius and Severus groans as the sound causes his lips to part and their tongues flick together.
The two man would have lost each other in their kisses which would have led to other things but the sharp rapping on the door broke them apart quickly. Sirius watched as Severus's walls literally slammed down and transformed the man into his cold and distant shell. Cursing Sirius rose. Severus cast a wordless cleaning charm over them both erasing all evidence of their tears. Sirius had reached the door when Severus was standing tall, menacing and stiff by the couch.
Alastor stood framed by the open door looking from Sirius to Severus. "Moody?" Sirius said in question. His tone stating what his words didn't: what the hell do you want.
"Albus is making tea, we wondered if you'd like to join us," Alastor said giving Sirius a look that clearly told him: we heard everything. Sirius cursed loudly at that and Severus blushed. His face flushing a deep crimson. Sirius had just caught the change and he couldn't help the hot look he gave his partner. His tongue darting over his lips. That only made Severus blush harder. Who knew Severus could blush and look menacing while doing. It was doing strange things to Sirius who was sudden very uncomfortably hard and thankful for the robes he'd put on today. Usually he didn't bother walking around with only his trousers. He knew Severus liked to be fully clothed and especially seemed to enjoy seeing Sirius fully clothed. Sirius didn't really get why, but he enjoyed it immensely when Severus got wicked with him seeing him clothed like this. All proper, just like his mother had taught him.
Sirius couldn't help but look at the curtains over the picture. Ever since Severus had begun to come over regularly he'd cast a series of charms and wards around the picture that made it so they could literally explode half the downstairs and Sirius's mother wouldn't even stir. He could kiss the man for that alone. The bitch was gone for good. Or as good as in Sirius's mind.
Sirius hadn't realized that Severus had moved until he felt strong arms warp around him and pull him against a firm chest. The muscles of those arms flexing. There wasn't a hint of tremble there anymore. Confidence and strength radiated from the gesture. Sirius looked up at the slightly taller man. A small smile curved Severus's harsh features. Sirius was grinning openly.
"We would be delighted to join you both for tea," Severus drawled and Sirius squirmed in his hold. Well aware of the erection he could feel pressing just above his ass and against his back. Evidently Severus was just as aroused as he was. Damn. That was hot. Sirius couldn't stop thinking about how he wanted to just push Severus on the floor and rut right there. With that naughty thought running through his min Sirius laid his hands over Severus's and smiled happily as he laid his head back against the man's shoulder to nuzzle his neck. That earned him a light moan.
"Do spare me the displays of affection," Alastor grunted. Though his eyes were shining bright with approval. "Come on then, before you both start acting like love sick teenagers. I might vomit if you do that."
A rich laugh sounded from above Sirius and everyone froze. Alastor hadn't know Severus was even capable of laughing let alone that it could sound so carefree. Sirius was amazed. That sound from Severus. Above him. Around him. Feeling it against his back as Severus's chest vibrated. It made him moan out in arousal and pleasure. Oh what he wouldn't give to hear that sound again.
It didn't last long, but it had been long enough to draw Remus who stood at the base of the stairs staring open mouthed at the scene before him. Severus didn't loosen his hold on Sirius. Their eyes met and Remus grinned broadly.
"Damn Siri Severus can laugh. Who knew?" Remus said. "I smell tea," he added as he walked away and into the kitchen. Alastor nodded and turned to walk away into the kitchen. Severus held Sirius a long moment long before slowly letting him go. Though he only lowered one arm. Letting the other drape over Sirius's shoulders in a very intimate gesture of possession. That made Sirius hot all over and he leaned against his partner.
"If you keep being so sweet you are going to make me come in my pants," Sirius whispered into Severus's ear and could feel the smile that formed. A light kiss followed it on Sirius's hair and the two walked to the kitchen.
