Love Is Like A Butterfly
5. Love is Like a Butterfly
'I feel it when you're with me,
It happens when you kiss me,
That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside'
Dolly Parton.
Working in the lab had taken on a new dimension now that Hermione and Severus were shagging. It had been a trial at first, because they were so fired up they could hardly keep their hands off each other. They had done it on the potions bench, in Hermione's office, on the chair behind Severus desk and then on the desk itself. It had been exhausting and exhilarating all at the same time. And then, something changed.
Severus didn't understand what was happening at first. He still felt the same anticipation when Hermione entered the room, but when their eyes met, the feeling that he wanted to peel her clothes off had abated slightly and something else was in its place. Oh, he still wanted to get her naked every now and then. But he was equally as happy just to sit in her rooms by the fire as they both read. Hermione liked to sit on the floor between his knees, and Severus thought he had never felt such contentment as when he was stroking her soft curls with one hand and holding his book with the other.
It was on such an evening that Severus had his epiphany. Hermione had fallen asleep with her head on his inner thigh. The warmth of the fire and her cosy spot on the floor had all combined to lull her, but Severus's leg was going numb and he needed to pee. He stared down at her and noticed the small smile on her lips and her eyes dancing from some dream or other.
'Hermione,' he whispered, stroking her cheek.
'Mmmm?' Hermione murmured as her eyes fluttered open slowly.
'Let me take you to bed,' he said softly, shifting his position and encouraging her off the floor and into his arms. Effortlessly he lifted her and walked into the bedroom, placing her gently against the pillows and extracting himself from her clinging arms.
Hermione looked at Severus through half-closed eyes and mumbled 'I love you' before falling asleep.
Tears stung his eyes as he bent to kiss her soft, pink mouth. And he knew that he loved her, too.
