It was the man's imperfections that drew the eye. At school Sirius had pointed them out. Snivellus, after the nose. Greasy Git for his hair. They were the things that people noticed, and so Sirius had made fun of them, looking for a reaction.
His imperfections still drew Sirius' eye, but in a different way. That gangliness was now a long, lean figure. Still the wrong side of skinny, Sirius wanted to feel the strength in those wiry muscles wrapped around him. His nose was as hooked as ever, but it suited him. Made him imposing. Intimidating. Left Sirius wanting to feel it pressed against his throat, breathing in his scent.
Then there was his personality which was clearly far from perfect, but every scowl, every insult, hit Sirius' skin like a sharp caress that left him aching for more. He bit back, looking for reaction, and shuddered every time he succeeded.
Yes, it was the imperfections that made Severus Snape so perfect. Now Sirius just needed to convince him of that.
I still can't believe this is mine!! *grabby hands*
I love love love what you did with the prompt and the pairing, I love that Sirius does it all to get a reaction from Severus. It hints at the fact that he might have done it in the past to get noticed by Severus as well, even though he didn't know what kind of reaction he really wanted from him. I also love the, let's call them "good" intentions at the end, about making Severus see the perfection in what everyone else perceives to be imperfections, that they all amount to one brilliant desirable human being.
Title Imperfect. Authorvanessawolfie Beta None. She's not online. Word Count 141 Pairing/Characters James S. Potter/Unknown. Author Notes I’m not sure about this, but still, it’s something. Not perfect, imperfect. --------------
James knew what imperfection was, he wasn’t stupid. It just wasn’t a term he used very often, as he tended to overlook his flaws. However, when your boyfriend tells you he can’t be with you anymore because he’s sick of never being treated right, you are bound to look at yourself and think, what is wrong?
In James’ case it was that he never really did tell his boyfriend that he loved him, or anything like that. Also, it could help the relationship thing if he stopped flirting with everything that moved.
Maybe James was imperfect, but still, wasn’t everybody. However you twisted it, James still had to go grovel some, so he did. His boyfriend took him back and after a few years practice, James said ‘I love you’ every day and never so much as looked at anyone else.
