I don't know what this is. I have so many other things I need to be working on but I guess I jut needed some light cuddle fluff. hope you enjoy.

Cuddle Bug

Charlie was sitting quietly on the couch reading. He was not expecting to be scared half to death when out of nowhere arms wrapped around his stomach and a head of messy black hair landed on his chest and began nuzzling like a cat.

"Harry?" Charlie starred down confused at the slight man squeezing his middle. Harry only hummed in response. "Ummm, not that I really mind but, is there a reason you're hugging me?"

Harry lifted his head from Charlie's chest but didn't unwind his arms. "Sorry Char. Mione says it's because of my abusive childhood, but I get these sudden cravings for affection and you were already here so you're my victim." Harry rested his head back to Charlie's firm chest. "If I'm bothering you I'll have had enough to tide me over in a few minutes. Next time I'll go find Severus or something, he's used to this now."

Charlie looked baffled as he tried to think of what to say. Finally he just wrapped his arm around Harry and shrugged. "It's fine Harry, really. I mean you're letting me live with you basically free of charge. The least I can do is let you have a cuddle, especially when it's actually pleasant."

Harry chuckled against Charlie's chest. "Well that's good since I really didn't want to move anyways."

Charlie laughed along with him for a moment. When they settled he began running his fingers through Harry's still uncontrollable hair. "Hey, Ry? Since when are you and Snape so buddy buddy he lets you hug him?"

Harry snickered, Charlie could feel it rumble against his side where Harry's chest and stomach was resting. "Well... Sometime after the final battle when we reconciled he could tell I wasn't happy. You remember how I was for a while after the war... anyways, he got me to talk about it and he found out about... well, everything. He found out about the abuse and the torture and the neglect and the sadness. Eventually I broke down into horrible sobs and he didn't hesitate in scooping me up and hugging me like no ever had before." Harry let out a long whooshing breath. "It was such a relief the first time it kind of slowly became a habit."

Charlie smiled visualizing Harry wrapped around Snape. Charlie couldn't help the low chuckle. "Don't tell Sev I told you though." Harry said through giggles, "He'd probably kill me." Charlie nodded and continued running his fingers through Harry's wild hair.

"I won't tell." Charlie smiled down at Harry. "You have a great laugh Ry. Wish you had more things in your life that made you laugh." Charlie scowled at the fireplace as he continued his ministrations.

Harry turned his head so he could look up at Charlie. "You always make me laugh Charlie. Even when you don't know you can. Just telling you stories about myself can make me laugh. You bring that out in me." Harry's smile was so sweet and sincere Charlie couldn't help himself. He really couldn't. He leaned down slowly while a smile spread across his face and pressed his lips lightly to an unresisting Harry.

Charlie pulled back slowly long seconds later, a grin still playing across his lips. "I didn't think you would actually kiss me." Harry confessed. "I've been wanting you too, for... ages now."

Charlie was genuinely surprised by that news. "Well why didn't you say anything? We could have been snogging all over the house for weeks now!" Harry burst into laughter, burying his face in Charlie's chest to stifle it.

When Harry calmed down he gave Charlie a big dopey grin. "Well I guess we better start making up for lost time then." With that said he grabbed the front of Charlie's shirt and pulled him down into a passionate snog.
