Part Twenty-Nine

Severus sat down in the driver's seat, and set his coffee in its holder. He turned his head to the side and looked at James. "Movie or Lily's?" He said.

"Hmmm... Movie." James said.

"Alright." Severus leaned over slightly and kissed him. "I really am sorry about the argument last night. I was a jerk."

"You kinda were, but it's not really your fault." James chuckled. Severus grinned.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Sev."

When they got back to the hotel, Severus picked the movie. He chose A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Severus was laying on his back on the couch watching the movie as James grabbed snacks from the kitchen. James looked at him silently.

Severus was wearing a brownish flannel over a white T-Shirt he'd gotten from Charity in 1978 (it said 'be gay do drugs'), a pair of blue jeans, and white socks. His doc Martins were on the floor by the entrance. His feet were crossed over eachother, and he had one hand supporting his head.

At some point, Severus noticed James' lack of activity and looked at him. "Something wrong?"

"You're hot." James blurted out. Severus raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah? You think so?" He chuckled. James realized what he'd said and tried to take it back without sounding like an asshole.

"Sorry, I didn't— well, I did mean it, but I didn't want to say it, I'm—" he stumbled over his words before Severus cut him off.

"Why are you apologizing? It's just a compliment, it's not like you told me to fuck off."

"I know, but..."

"You're hot too. Now come here, you're missing the movie."

James nodded and quickly sat with him on the couch, laying his head on his chest. Severus softly stroked his fingers through his hair.

James held his hand out beside Severus' hand, waiting for Severus to hold it. Severus silently held his hand and intertwined their fingers.
