Challenge 150 – Snape vs. Lupin – Snape's perspective: "A Mutually Satisfying Arrangement"

It was all very practical.  Fantastic sex with a surprisingly attractive lover.  Conversation, companionship, carnal pleasures – a mutually satisfying arrangement. 

There was no need for frivolous romance, or foolish declarations – no expectation this arrangement would be required to delve into murky emotional territory, where pathways lead to mire or peril, into those swamps and marshlands of the heart.

Severus had himself entirely convinced of the practicality of his decision, the pragmatic reasoning behind his choice, only to find his gaze caught in eyes the colour of amber and sweet honey, more potent than any elixir and sweeter than any draught.

I suspect his emotional IQ doesn't match his intellectual IQ! *snicker*

Lovely! Typical Snape. He wouldn't willingly recognise love until it bit his arse.

For a phenomenally intelligent man, sometimes Severus just doesn't have a clue.
