Broken But Beautiful (SnapeXReader) COMPLETE

26

I took a deep breath and turned the handle. Severus was sitting at his desk. He looked over at me. Anger instantly spread across his face. He said nothing as I stepped into the room and shut the door behind me. I walked over to him.

"Severus," I started but he cut me off.

"Snape." He said coldly. Oh... I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Listen, I am so so sorry. I know you probably don't want to forgive me but, I just want you to know that I am sorry."

 He scoffed. "Whatever."

"I talked to Dumbledore yesterday." I blurted. His eyes widened

"What did he say?"

"He told me what happened after we last talked. He also made me realize some things."

"Like what?" 

I took a deep breath. "That.... That I really care about you and I don't want to, to lose you." I said quietly. "He also made me realize how much you cared about me. I am sorry I ruined it." 

His face softened and he shook his head. "It's care not cared. And you didn't ruin it. I still care tremendously about you."

"Really?" I asked hopefully. 

He nodded his head. "Of course. Is that all Dumbledore told you?" 

"I think so. I am just so sorry that I had never noticed how much you cared about me before Dumbledore told me." 

He raised his eyebrows. "Really? I would have thought it would be obvious."

"Well, it wasn't at the time but now it is. I just want to say, Thank you for all that you have done for me. At some points, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been there." 

He stood up. "Is hugging allowed?"

 I nodded my head. 

He wrapped his arms around me. His chin was resting on the top of my head. It feels so good to be hugging him. He made me feel so safe and comfortable. How could I have hurt this man? Honestly, I feel more of a, I don't know. A connection with Severus than Draco. Maybe I should brea- "You can call me by my name again." Said Severus interrupting my thoughts. I pulled back and smiled at him. He smiled back at me. He pulled me even closer to him and squeezed me. "I really like you Y/n." He said quietly. I pulled back again.

"You shouldn't." I said. 

His hands dropped from around me.

"Why not?" I sighed. "Because I hurt so many people. I hurt you Severus .Not to mention how broken I am." 

He shook his head. "You may have hurt me but you fixed it. And you aren't broken."

"Yes I am." I argued. I looked down at the floor. 

Severus closed the gap between us and grabbed my hands. "No you're not. You are beautiful." I didn't know what to say so I stayed silent. "Is it alright if I kiss you?" He asked.

 I quickly glanced at him then back at the floor. "It shouldn't be." I paused. "But I want you to."

 He leaned in and kissed me gently. I felt a tear make its way out from the corner of my eye. He broke the kiss. He placed his hand on my face and wiped the tear off with his thumb. "What's wrong?" He questioned. He looked worried. 

I took a deep breath. "No one makes me feel the way you do." 

He smiled. He rested his forehead against mine. "That's good."
