Making the Man
"Why should I?"
Harry tried not to look pleading. "Because I want you to." All right, he was pleading. "Because it's my birthday."
Severus uncrossed his arms, his only sign of relenting. "I haven't...since I...left home."
"When you started teaching?"
Spots of color appeared in Severus's cheeks. "Before then."
It took Harry a moment, but he worked it out. "You mean you haven't worn Muggle clothes since you were eleven?"
Before Severus could get defensive, Harry said, "You'll look brilliant."
Shaking his head, Severus said, "I won't. I have no such clothing."
A thrill surged through Harry. "Leave that to me."
Harry's scar and name had put him into public attention before could remember. He was used to being stared at even on the rare occasions he coaxed Severus out in public.
Tonight, hardly anyone gave Harry a second glance. He'd purchased an expertly tailored black suit, cut to reveal what he already knew--that Severus's body was lithe, with long legs and fine shoulders.
"They're staring," Severus hissed.
"I know. You look brilliant. I told you you would."
Severus tugged at the jacket. "I can't wait to get out of this."
Harry laughed. "You can leave that to me too."
