Severus was sitting in Riddle Manor, inside Tom's office with papers on the desk. He was going over all the details for the ceremony that was now only a few weeks away. Looking down, he smiled at the plans that finally allow his dreams to come true.
The door opens and Tom walks in, "I love that you are finally living here, my darling".
Severus blushes, "I've always loved your manor. I will admit that we were dating and first visited, I...may have dreamed of living here".
Tom laughs, "Well, it's our manor now, love". He walks over and gives Severus a kiss, "What are you up to?".
He shuffles the papers around, "Just going over all the wedding plans. I want to make sure everything goes perfect".
Tom grabs his shoulders from behind, "Don't stress youself out too much, darling. With Lucius in charge, everything will go perfectly. Now that you have completed your NEWTS, we have all the time in the world to be together".
Severus stands and wraps his arms around him, "I'm finally free from Dumbledore's clutches. All I have to focus on now is our wedding, honeymoon and starting my potions business".
Tom smirks and kisses his soon-to-be-husband, "I am so proud of you, Severus. Now, I can finally give you the life I promised you. The one you deserve".
Severus blushes, "There is...one thing I want to change about the wedding plans...if that's ok".
"Of course".
"Well, I was thinking that maybe instead of my wearing a suit that I...". He sighs, "I can't believe I'm saying this...would you be grossed out if I wore...more of a dress type...clothing?".
Tom looks at him slightly shocked, "You're comfortable with that?".
Severus blushes, "Let's just say Regulus can be very convincing".
He laughs, "That he can. Darling, you can wear what ever you want. Although I will admit I have imagined what you might look like in a dress".
Severus hides his face in his chest, "Of course you have". He looks up, "Has Lucius spoken to you about the marriage certificate?".
He nods, "Yes, we met the other day to go over the final plans and he let me know that all the paperwork is in order. Just needs to be signed by us on the day".
"Good. Another thing not to worry about. After everything with Dumbledore, I don't think I can handle more things getting in the way of me becoming a Riddle".
Tom smirks, "I thought we agreed to hyphenate".
He blushes, "I know but...I really like your last name and...at this point I want nothing to do with my father. I want a fresh start as a Riddle".
"What about in public? Most people by now know my last name and it's relation to me as the Dark Lord".
"Well, for appearances I will go with Snape. Most people would assume I am marrying a woman so me not changing my name wouldn't cause suspicion. But in every other circumstance, I am a Riddle".
Tom gives him a kiss, "Very well. I assume you'll be a Riddle in front of the Death Eaters?".
"Of course. If I am your husband, I think they should show me the same respect that they show you".
He smiles, "My little Prince of Darkness indeed".
