Summary: Even if they weren't safe even for a second.
When Severus was very young, his mother often held him in her arms and whispered stories in his ears as they huddled together inside the bathroom and tried not to hear fists slamming into the bathroom door. Her arms never felt safe but they were warm and her swift heartbeat was comforting. He’d loved the scent of rosemary and mint against her throat and her soft fingers sliding through his thick hair. He’d loved the way she clutched him to her, as if he were special. Precious. Loved. Even if they weren’t safe even for a second.
When Severus was older, he often held himself tightly within his own arms and whispered stories to himself as he huddled alone in his bedroom and tried not to feel the shame of wanting someone to soothe him again. He hated how much he needed, how much the silence ate away at his soul. He hated the way his dreams tried to tempt him into reaching out and taking the comfort in Remus’s eyes. He hated the way he ended up doing so and how Remus held him and he felt special. Precious. Loved. Even if they weren’t safe even for a second.
