Summary: Severus *Sighs* had a good day.
A/N: Written for the Pisces among us, no Beta. (Sorry…)
January 9th, 11:00pm.
Severus sighs.
This has been the most perfect day.
Two years ago, on January 9th, Harry gave a small dinner party, with eight people whose company Severus actually enjoys, and Chocolate Mousse Cake for dessert. It was nice.
Last year, Harry took him to Paris. Le Musee d’Orsay, le Jardin des Plantes, and dinner at Alain Ducasse. It was nice too.
But today? Today has been perfect.
At breakfast, they shared the paper over black coffee, as they do every day. Then Severus went to his Potions’ lab, brewing in perfect peace for hours. They had vegetable soup for lunch, with Harry’s thick-crusted homemade bread. The afternoon was spend in front of the fire, each of them absorbed in his own reading, occasionally sharing a fact, or commenting on something notable. Severus made a simple dinner of hummus and salad, and they played chess in front of the fire. They came to bed, talked a little, and wanked each other off. Now they are drifting off to sleep, Severus glowing with the knowledge that each year has shown his husband’s greater understanding, respect, and appreciation of who he truly is.
Suddenly Severus’ eyes snap open, a most disquieting thought gnawing at his heart. What if this perfect day does not show the culmination of Harry’s growing understanding and appreciation of him but instead that he has simply completely forgotten? The constriction in his chest is surprisingly painful.
“Harry?”
He feels Harry’s smile on his shoulder, before hearing it in his voice.
“Happy birthday, Severus.”
Severus sighs.
This has been the most perfect day.
