When the door clicked open, Harry neither spoke nor looked up from his paperwork. The click of bootheels passed him, then parchment landed on the other side of their partners desk. Retreating footsteps, then the lavatory door closed.
He knew that Severus would return shortly. He would doff his outer robes and scrub his face, hands, and fingernails clean of the residue of potions ingredients. Only then was the workday truly over.
When he felt a slim hand settle on his shoulder, Harry pushed his work aside and turned to greet his lover with a kiss.
He liked this routine.
