Summary: Severus did not look many in the eye.
Severus did not look many in the eye. It was a habit he’d picked up in childhood and had suited him well through the years. It made him seem submissive and dominated, servant and slave, and that was precisely what the Dark Lord wanted.
Eyes were intimate. For a man who spent little time in the presence of others and touched even less, there was nothing more intimate than holding a steady gaze. Legilimency didn’t even enter into it. In some ways, Severus feared eyes. He always held the fear that someday those he held dear – precious few as there were – would realize exactly who he was behind it all.
It didn’t stop him from having one person he might have made himself vulnerable for. He stubbornly blamed it on the particularly attractive shade of gold and the interesting flecks of green within them, but deep down he knew exactly why and that scared him even more.
He didn’t think Remus ever realized the importance Severus put into something as small as locking eyes, something for which Severus was eternally grateful. It stayed that way until he died and it wasn’t even hazel eyes he looked into in the end.
