Aw, geez. I think my heart melted. This was perfectly tender and beautiful without feeling too sappy. Fluff, perhaps, but of the sort laced with not-quite-angst. This was perfectly balanced. I loved Severus' snarky 'idiot' toward the end. It really brought him in to character for me. I'm glad, however, that he wasn't too caustic and made no effort to deny his own softness. They were both needy and in love. Thank you.
aw.... sweet story
