Chapter 6
Harry’s POV
Harry poured the cat food into Nimbus’ bowl. His heart was pounding hard against his ribcage while his face felt hot and he couldn’t help but to grin widely like a fool. He was in seventh heaven. He felt like he was really going to float into the air with so much happiness.
He loves me! He repeated silently even though all he wanted was to shout it out loudly.
Harry snapped out of his thoughts when Nimbus hissed angrily at him. He had accidentally poured the cat food on top of her head instead of into the bowl.
“Oops, sorry Nimbus,” he said apologetically.
He poured the right amount to the bowl then cleaned up the mess while feeling more than a little embarrassed.
Thank God, Severus is in the other room! I’m behaving like a complete fool!
He put the cat food back on the shelf while thinking about whether or not he could ask for more kisses from Severus.
No, this is not good! He thought as he banged his head against the shelf. I shouldn’t be so clingy. He hit his head again. He might get sick of me before today is over!
“May I inquire what are you doing, Potter?”
Harry whipped his head around to the source of the voice. Severus was leaning against the kitchen door, looking amused.
Bloody hell! He cursed, instantly he blushed brightly.
“Careful, you don’t want to harm what's left of your brain,” Severus said dryly.
Harry narrowed his eyes at Severus, a bit insulted. “Did you just imply that I’m stupid?”
Severus smirked, “I won’t think of you as a fool if you cease to behave as one.”
“You—you didn’t have to put it so bluntly!” protested Harry. “I only act like a fool around you!”
Harry slapped his hand over his mouth, mentally groaning. He really had to stop putting his foot on his mouth.
“Only around me, hmm?” asked Severus, almost teasingly.
Severus stepped closer to him, like a predator stalks its prey, and trapped him against the shelf with his hands. There was something in Severus’ black eyes that sent a shiver of delight up his spine.
Severus bent down slightly and said softly in his ear, “I think you still owe me something.”
Way past the limit! Sexiness overloaded! Harry’s brain screamed out to him.
Harry was feeling a bit faint; his heart was pounding harder than it supposed to. And he was so close to babbling nonsense now. Severus was far too close for his sanity and self-control. He could smell the man’s aftershave. It smelled like the fresh scents of old spice which made him want to lick Severus if only to find out whether the man was that delicious or not.
Harry swallowed, trying to get his dry throat to function properly.
“Err- Pants and Socks?” guessed Harry.
“Potter,” Severus grimaced lightly, sounding annoyed.
It would seem that that wasn’t the right answer. Harry looked at him blankly, wondering what else he owed to Severus.
“A confession, you fool!” hissed Severus.
Harry’s mouth made a perfect ‘O’ then he blushed even harder. His heartbeat grew quicker and louder. He could even hear his own heartbeat in his ears. It felt like he was going to suffer cardiac arrest right here and now which was pretty silly considering that it was just three short words and Severus had said them to him. Even more absurd, he also felt the same way for the other man, so why did he feel so light-headed and suddenly lose his voice?
“You should say so if you don’t feel the same,” deadpanned Severus, pulling away slightly. “No need to waste time, Potter.”

Severus’s POV
He could see a flare of panic in Potter’s green eyes and felt a bit guilty for causing it, but he refused to be the only one who confessed here! He wanted, no, he needed to hear it from Potter!
“Wait!” said Potter loudly. “I… I…”
Severus watched as Potter struggled for words. Feeling a bit of pity for the younger man, Severus reached out and gently caressed the young man’s cheek with his hand. Potter closed his eyes and leaned into his touch.
Potter slowly opened his eyes again, looking straight at him. Those green eyes shone brightly. They were filled with an overpowering mixture of emotions; love, anxiety, happiness, and tension. For a moment, Severus was completely submerged in it.
“I love you, Severus,” Potter intoned with a soft but steady voice.

Harry’s POV
Harry felt emotionally drained once he finally said it, but it was a happy kind of drained, there was no need to keep it all bottled up. He had never felt more content than right then. He was free to love and to be loved. He and Severus exchanged small smiles.
Severus leaned down to press a kiss to his forehead. It was the closest thing to ‘I love you too’ that he could get from the man right that second. Taking the initiative, Harry closed the distance between their mouths. To his surprise, Severus pulled away almost immediately.
“Potter, I’m not going to be a bottom,” said Severus sternly.
Harry blinked then a loud snort escaped from his lips which followed by a laughing fit. Severus glared at him, irritated.
“Potter,” snapped Severus. “I don’t find anything humorous about it.”
“Sorry, it’s just…” Harry took a deep breath, trying to control his laughter and failed considerably. “…you looked so serious when you said it.”
Harry grinned then shrugged. “I don’t really have a particular preference. Any position is fine with me.”
He was going to burst into laughter again at seeing Severus’ scowl when the man suddenly yanked him closer. He felt the man’s lips crushed against his, effectively cutting off any laughter. There was nothing sweet about it, just pure lust. He sighed in pleasure as Severus plunged his tongue into his mouth.
Their hands were running wild, caressing each other. Locks of Severus’ dark hair fell forward as the older man sucked harshly at the base of Harry’s neck, making him moan. He groaned loudly when he felt Severus’ fingers graze his nipples through the material of his shirt. He tugged on Severus’ shirt and slid his hand underneath it, caressing the man’s firm, warm back.
All of a sudden, his stomach growled loudly. Severus stopped kissing him and pulled back a fraction of an inch. As if on cue, his stomach rumbled again, this time even louder. Harry bit his lip in embarrassment. The other man snorted softly.
“It begins to sound like thunder,” Severus smirked in amusement.
Harry scrunched up his face in annoyance and clutched his stomach, hoping to silence it. It was very irritating to have their make out session interrupted again and again. However, it didn’t work. All those inspirational words, claiming that as long as you have determination you can do anything, were clearly for naught because his stomach, undeterred, rumbled again.
Severus snorted then broke out in sudden laughter. When Harry heard it, he instantly forgot about his stomach and his embarrassment. He stood entranced. This was the first time he’d heard Severus’ laugh in so many years. He had almost forgotten how lovely it truly was. His heart melted at the sight. It was like falling in love all over again. Severus noticed his stare and his unexpected mirth subsided.
Harry smiled softly at him. “I love you.”
“I know, Potter,” Severus’ lips quirk up in a half smile. “Let’s feed the beast, shall we?”
“My stomach isn’t a beast,” said Harry, rolling his eyes then he patted the offending organ. “It’s only vastly misunderstood.”
Severus raised his eyebrow at him then stared accusingly at his cat, Nimbus. Harry blushed again.
“Err, come on… Let’s go,” said Harry, changing the subject.
Harry quickly wrapped his hands around Severus’ arm and proceeded to drag him out of the room before the man started to tease him again.
Not that he really minded being teased though. All was well in his world because one way or another, they were finally together, and he would do his best to make sure nothing would ever separate them.
