Severus woke up and detangled himself from Harry and sat up, looking down, he had a good idea his husband was going to be out for awhile. He looked up and smiled at Max and then scooted down to join him.

“That little dude is totally fucked up Sev.” Max said as he handed his friend a doughnut. Severus bit into it thoughtfully and nodded.

“I had no idea he’d not paid any attention to our contract or his submissive’s bill of rights Max. I could just kick myself for not making him give me four feet of parchment in an essay on it. In fact I think that may be a good idea.” He said shaking his head as he watched the sleeping man. Max shifted in his seat and pulled a packet of papers out of his back pocket and handed it to him.

“Here’s Allie’s rights, let him read those on the way back and we’ll make him discuss them as we go.”

Severus took the papers and quickly read over them, they were nearly identical to Harry’s, and he agreed that it would be good to make him talk. The two friends sat and finished eating while watching some inane fishing show on the television until Harry finally woke up and rolled over.

“Did you nap okay, baby?” Severus asked as he leaned down and pulled Harry into his arms. Harry nodded sleepily and blushed shyly as Severus brushed his long hair back out of his face. He settled Harry down between his legs again and brushed his hair back into a neat ponytail, pausing to kiss the back of his neck softly and to whisper in his ear.

“My husband.”

Max made a gagging noise and swatted his friend in the shoulder as he squatted down in front of Harry.

“Hey kiddo, how are you feeling? Are you still sore?”

“I’m a little hungry, and not really sore Sir.” Harry answered softly, he glanced up and bit his lower lip, it was hard to believe they were being so nice since he’d caused so much trouble.

“Well Bit, we had doughnuts, but your old man ate them all, so we’ll stop and get you some more on the way out of town. Are you ready to go?” Max said as he smirked at Severus who was laughing and Harry who was amazed that his husband had eaten doughnuts in the first place.

“Yes.”

Once out in the car park, Harry started to get in the back seat when Severus stopped him and lifted him into the front, buckling him into the middle.

“You can ride up here with us, love,” Sev said as he climbed in the passenger side next to Harry and waited for Max to start the truck. After they had stopped and got Harry some food and themselves some drinks for the road, they set out for Sturgis, since the others had decided to go on back because of the morning’s upheaval.

“Harry, I want you to do something for me, okay?” Severus asked as he pulled the folded paper out of his pocket and held it in his hand.

“Anything Severus.” Harry replied as he drank his juice. Severus gave him the paper.

“I want you to read this out loud.” He said quietly as he watched his lover’s green eyes.

Harry took it, looked at Severus, opened it, cleared his throat and began to read, his voice faltering after a few words, but he pressed on with Severus holding his hand.

“ Rights, as a Submissive....” Harry’s voice trembled as he bit his lip and looked up at his husband who nodded for him to continue.

“I have the right to set limits, and expect them to be respected. I have the right to adjust these limits at any time, with notice to you. I have the right to expect you to push them, to force me to create new limits and boundaries.” Harry’s breath hitched here and Severus squeezed his hand in reassurance.
“I have the right to privacy. I expect you to be concerned about time we spend apart, but I expect you to understand that I am a person, seperate from you, and thusly having problems and situations in my life that I will not need your help with. I have the right to expect you will respect me for my independence and not criticize me for it. I have the right to ask you for help, should I need it. I have the right to be trusted, providing I have earned it, and I have the right to expect you to believe I am an intelligent, caring and loyal person.” By now Harry’s breath was coming in shuddering gasps, he’d been so wrong about so many things.

“Go on Harry, you need to finish.” Severus said quietly as he soothingly stroked his back.

“I have the right to ask things of you, and have you listen to my requests. I have the right to ask for your attention, without having to misbehave to get it. I have the right to ask you to contribute as much to this relationship as I do. As long as my requests are submitted respectfully, I expect you to consider them as you would from any friend or colleague. I have the right to question your motives, should you deny my requests, as long as I do so with the proper respect.” Harry whispered as he rocked as much as he could in the restraints of his seat belt.

”I have the right to expect you to administer your punishment with care and caution. I have the right to use my safewords at any point, should I feel them necessary. I have the right to get up and walk away from a scene if you have crossed the line. I have the right to expect you to respect my decisions, and not think less of me, or abandon me for them.” Harry began to sob now, tears running unchecked, Severus had pulled him close to him and was cradling him next to his chest. He’d never known, he’d never read the things Severus had given him.

“I have the right to speak up if I feel our relationship is not giving me what I need. I have the right to tell you what I need, in a respectful manner. I have the right to expect you to understand my reasons for doing so, and the right to expect you to listen with an open mind. I have the right to end this as a Dominant and submissive relationship if I feel it is not healthy for me.” He stopped reading when the words ran out, he felt like a light had gone on for him. He felt like he was going to be sick.

“I have to be ill,” He whimpered as he fumbled with his belt. Max whipped the truck over to the shoulder of the road and Sev quickly got his husband out and had him supported in his arms while he emptied his stomach. After a long few moments, Severus raised him back up again and wiped his face clean.

“How do you feel Harry?” he asked as he looked down in to the tear stained face, he hoped the reading had not been too much for him.

“Better Sev, I’m better, it’s going to be okay I think.” Harry murmured and leaned forward to wrap his arms around his husband’s waist. Severus helped him back in and then climbed in after him. Max turned to him and gave him a hug.

“Okay sprite, no more insane shit, we are all too old for it. Now we are going to discuss what you just read so we know you’ve understood every word of it.” The Healer said as he started the truck again and pulled back onto the road.
