‘ mature as always ’ oh how strong the urge was to repeat those words right back at the BAT who was currently residing in his kitchen, and to make a face at him too for good measure. " if anything, “ he started his sentence but found that the anger BREWING inside his chest made it nearly impossible to answer, venomous words lay heavily on his tongue as his hands turned to fists against his sides. " a decade in azkaban has only assured me of my need to break your fucking nose. ”
‘ so ? ’ chin was held a little higher —- quiet assertiveness. would getting rid of black be worth taking his place in an azkaban cell ?most likely not. but they wouldn’t take him for leaving the other with a bloody nose & a purple eye, would they ?screw being the better person ; it was just that attacking a man in his own house, with one of his teacups in hand seemed a little rude, & well, if being a savage did not bother sirius, it surely bothered severus. ‘ is there… anything stopping you? ’
pawpriint-blog: ' all that blood was never beautiful, it was just red. '
‘ there is hardly ever beauty in blood. ’ absentmindedly, a pair of pale slender digits brushed against the thick reddish scar tissue on snape’s long neck. how ironic was it that his signature curse cut, drew & splashed blood, & severus himself would have choked to his death in crimson had potter not arrived in time ? it seemed like he was destined to live a great practical joke ; if there was a god, he certainly had a most wicked sense of humor. ‘ is there? ’
" oh, don't you bloody worry about that dumbledore will hear plenty of complaints from me. ” his eyes narrow as he crosses his arms ; never had he really been able to shake the demeanor of a child, especially not when severus snape was involved. “ i might have an idea s n i v e l l u s how about we set up camp at your fucking place ? hmm ! see how you like it when you have me roaming around your kitchen. “
‘ mature as always. ’ a pair of thick black eyebrows was raised as he brought delicate porcelain to his lips. only severus snape would find in a gesture as ordinary as drinking tea a way to provoke others. he lingered, making sure to keep eye contact with the other. ‘ one would expect that spending over a decade in azkaban would minimally change someone’s world view. ’
“ a man would think that after twelve years in azkaban the worst parts of his life are surely behind him but no, after that he apparently needs to face severus snape in their bloody kitchen ! ”
‘ then, you might want to report that complaint to dumbledore. ’ severus gently rested his teacup on its saucer, a long, thin finger still wrapped around the handle as he directed a cold ( but not at all free of a tip of amusement ) glare at black. ‘ surely the order would find some place else appropriate where such unfortunate man won’t have to go through a situation as… revolting. ’
