Severus woke up to the lovely sound of his girlfriend making up a tune on the piano and singing, trying out words in time with the tune but hearing another man sing along made him furrow his eyebrows in anger.

He didn't want to invade in your job but he hated your co-worker with a passion. You are in a musical duo with a guy and it was obvious to Severus that he had a crush on you. He wanted him away from you but he couldn't exactly do that.

Severus sat up, rubbed his temples and groaned in annoyance, standing up and walking out to the living area, seeing you and Beau sitting at the piano. You heard Severus, looked to the side and smiled, going up to him and giving him a hug, kissing his cheek.

"Good morning"., he smiled and pressed a few gentle kisses along your jawline., "good morning, love"., Beau looked at the both of you and huffed quietly., "me and Beau have been working on a new song that he has written, do you want to hear it?".

"Of course I would. Let me just make us a cup of tea"., "great. Oh can you get Beau one too. He got here pretty early and we've been very busy"., Severus scrunched up his nose and you stifled your laughter, putting your hands together.

"Please"., you mouthed, begging him., he rolled his eyes., "fine"., he sighed out and kissed your forehead, walking into the kitchen. That's the only downside to being with you. A lot of people love you and want to be with you but he felt extremely lucky because you chose him.

But it also left him to worry that you would leave him for someone else. He didn't want to admit it to you but it scares him everyday that it would happen. Your fingers danced on the keys as you started to play, humming softly with tune while you waited for Severus.

Beau watched you lovingly and smiled. He wrote the song about you but you were under the impression that it was about his ex-girlfriend that he broke up with a few months ago, completely oblivious that he was very much in love with you.

Severus walked out with two cups of tea, placing one carefully beside you while holding out the cup of tea to Beau with such force that he got some on his leg, he of course didn't mean to do this but he wasn't exactly sad about it either., "ah, shit! What the fuck is your problem!"., he said angrily as he shot up.

"Like I meant to do it. You bloody idiot"., Severus sighed out, rolling his eyes., you looked at Severus and sighed as Beau got up and went upstairs to the lavatory., "I really didn't mean to, love"., you sighed and nodded, standing up and walking over to him.

"Now that he's gone..."., Severus said and without giving you a chance to reply he pressed his lips against yours., you hummed against his lips and smiled., "if I knew you were waiting I would of sent him away much sooner"., he chuckled against your lips, tilting your chin up and deepening the kiss, pulling you closer.

Beau walked in and you placed one more kiss against his lips before sitting back at the piano with Beau. You put your fingers on the keys and started to play the beginning of a slow and gentle tune that was still kind of in the works.

"Tell us what you think of it, Sev"., you smiled at him and started to sing., "~ I think it would be better, you're beautiful and shy, I let my chance with you go by. But you don't belong to me, you never did. If you give me a chance- ~"., Severus sighed., "who wrote this again?".

"Beau did"., you smiled at him., Severus looked at you and sighed again, he knew how incredibly naive you can be and that's what made him so protective over you. "So who's it about Beau?"., Severus sat back and crossed his arms, already knowing who it was about.

"It's about my ex-girlfriend. ..."., he said in a sassy tone., "...Who did you think it was about?"., "oh, I don't know. ..."., he sighed out., "...My girlfriend, perhaps?"., "what?"., Beau faked shock., "I know you like my fucking girlfriend"., Beau furrowed his eyebrows and continued to insist that he didn't like you which was very much not the case.

"I know you-"., "Severus!..."., you snapped at him., "Stop it!"., he looked at you confused., Beau have him a smart ass look which infuriated Severus more. You noticed it and sighed, looking at Beau., "could you come back later"., you sighed out.

He nodded and stood up, starting to leave the room. You heard the front door shut and walked over to Severus, holding your hand out., he sighed and put his hand in yours, standing up., "Severus what's the matter with you?..."., you said softly., "...What's wrong?".

"Are you kidding me?..."., you looked at him confused and he huffed., "...You're so fucking oblivious!"., you looked at him hurt and took your hand out of his., "why would you call me that?"., "because you are!..."., his voice started raise.

"...How can you not see that he loves you?! That song is about you!"., you scoffed and shook your head., "that song is about his ex-girlfriend!"., your voice started to race., "how can one person be so unbelievably stupid"., "fuck you!"., you yelled, tears brimming your eyes.

"...Don't call me that again! I'm not stupid!"., you said as you stormed up the stairs and Severus stormed out the door, going...somewhere. You sat on the bed and crossed your arms going over what Severus said over and over in your head., "it's bloody insane! How could he love me?".

Severus decided to go to Three Broomsticks, sitting in the same spot where you and him met and sighed, sniffling. He regretted calling you stupid and storming out without apologising to you. He wasn't planning on drinking but he just wanted somewhere to cool off.

Madam Rosemerta came over with her notepad in hand., "good morning, Severus. What can I get for you?"., "uh, nothing. I just needed a place to calm down"., she nodded and started to walk off. Severus put his head in his hands and shook his head.

You laid in bed and heard a knock at the door., you thought it was Severus so you started to head down the stairs and opened the door to see Beau., "oh. Hi, Beau. Come in"., he walked in and the both of you sat at the piano, once again working on the song.

He started to sing the song and you sighed., you had to find out the truth, you didn't want this argument with Severus to continue., "Beau, can I ask you something?"., "yes of course"., "do you have any feelings for me?"., instead of telling you he thought he would show you.

He leaned forward to kiss you but you weren't about to cheat on your boyfriend. You leaned back and stood up., "No, Beau"., he stood up and looked at you angrily., "I can't believe you're rejecting me for that knobhead?!"., you looked at him angrily.

"Don't call him that!"., "why not? He doesn't love you"., you went quiet, looked down to the ground and your shoulders slumped., "he just wants to be with you because of your status. He told me a while ago"., "well...t-that can't be true"., you muttered softly.

Beau saw you about to cry and he took advantage of that, stepping forward and hugging you., "I'm only trying to look out for you my friend"., you heard the front door open and you looked towards the living room and to see a puffy eyed Severus.

"What's going on, love?"., he saw that you were upset and he walked towards you, putting his hand on the small of your back, glaring at Beau., "what have you done to her?"., when Beau didn't answer him he listened in to his thoughts and grabbed ahold of his shirt collar.

"What did you say to Y/n?"., Severus seethed., Beau didn't answer him so he looked at you., "what did he say to you?"., he said softly., you put your head down and sighed sadly., "he said that you told him that you don't love me and that you're only with me because of my status".

Severus huffed and his grip got tighter on Beau's collar., "why are you lying to her?"., Severus seethed., Beau looked at Severus with widened eyes and cleared his throat., "well...I-I, uh-"., "don't lie to her again. Apologise to her and leave".

Beau just looked at you and pulled away from Severus running out the door. You looked at him and immediately he pulled you towards him, cupping your cheeks and kissing your forehead., "I love you. Please don't think any less".
