Pairing: Severus/Harry
Rating: G
Word Count: ~200
Summary: Harry has something special for Severus' birthday.
A/N: Created for severus_sighs birthday prompt #1: 'Severus opened his eyes, but it was a few seconds before what he was seeing registered with him.' Thanks for the beta, joanwilder and last minute help from jadzialove when Severus refused to play along with this.
“Close your eyes.”
Severus narrowed them instead. “Why?”
“Just do it,” Harry said, smirking a little as Severus glowered. “Come on. Please?”
Severus pursed his lips but couldn’t resist that look on Harry’s face any better than he had the first time. “Oh very well,” he agreed, though with decidedly ill grace, and dutifully closed his eyes.
He listened to the rustling of fabric and was about to remind Harry that he did not like surprises when Harry murmured, “All right… you can open them.”
Not liking the nervous tone, Severus’ eyes snapped open. The terse reminder died on his lips. It was a few seconds before what he was seeing registered. Harry was holding out a velvet box, its lid open—a gold band nestled inside.
“Harry…”
Harry was watching him, his green eyes bright, not a hint of nervousness in them. They’d never discussed formalizing their relationship. They were both content in their cohabitation, in the life they’d built here together. But as he took in Harry’s serene features and then turned his eyes back to the ring he’d chosen, Severus knew he would say yes.
