In a heartbeat.
Harry enters the staff room, feeling instinctively anxious.
One look at Severus' precious espresso-machine explains his unease.
Severus isn't here, fussily brewing his delicious coffee. There's no delicate aroma filling the air, entrancing Harry's senses...
A sleep-roughened groan startles him.
“Headmaster! You look...” -Soft-eyed. Rumpled. Hot...- “exhausted”
“I've been up all night strengthening the wards.”
“Oh!”
“I'm too old for this...”
“You? Old? Nah!. You just need someone to...” -look after you- “make your coffee”
“I could kiss you for that, Potter”
Harry smiles wishfully:
“That'd be a dream come true...”
Severus stills, entranced.
“You'd accept... me?”
“In a heartbeat.”
