Summary: Severus enjoys another birthday.
A/N: Written for the severus_sighs Birthday Challenge, in response to prompt #1: Severus opened his eyes, but it was a few seconds before what he was seeing registered with him.
Also, I’m making no money from this story.
Severus sighs, content with his lazy, lovely day. It began slowly, teasingly, tantalizing him with lips and hums and fingertips.
No, that was Harry. He pulled Severus gradually from sleep, his hands sliding over the contours and angles of Severus’ skin until Severus had to open his eyes, if only to witness the wonder of it.
An easy smile was followed by breakfast – most of which was fed to him by Harry’s own hand, fingertips skimming over his lips – and a good book by a crackling fire. Now it is evening, and he can tell Harry has something planned by the way he fidgets, glancing at the clock every few seconds.
Soon enough, Severus’ suspicions are confirmed when Harry walks casually out of the room and comes back with a grin and a cake. Severus doesn’t have to count to know there are fifty candles flickering on it.
“Close your eyes,” Harry says. “Make a wish.”
With a secret smile, Severus complies, floating in the cocooning weight of a pleasant doze.
He opens his eyes, but it is a few seconds before what he is seeing registers with him. He blinks, trying to focus in the dim, pre-dawn light, but sees only the pillow next to him, empty as it has ever been.
