A/N: Okay, so I swear I didn't plan this, but when I set this week's snarry100 prompt, it happened to coincide with this week's snape100 prompt, which is "Snape's gift". *sigh* So, I wrote one drabble for both. *sheepish*

Harry's Gift

~

Every Yule enterprising students sought amusement by leaving gag gifts at his door. Severus became adept at recognizing them, consigning them to flame.

Not so this box, however.

Severus examined it thoughtfully.

He succumbed at midnight, opening it with an impassive face, heart racing.

When he saw what lay inside, he froze.

“What’s this?” he asked, setting the box in front of Harry at breakfast.

Smiling, Harry stroked the heart-shaped medal.

“My gift to you,” he said.

“But it’s...”

“My Order of Merlin, yes.”

“Why?

Harry turned, his mouth close to Severus’.

“You already have my heart, why not this?”
