you weren’t sure how to tell your friend, Severus, that you liked him. So, you just decided to give a little hint, knowing he was rather blunt, and would say something like “okay” if you said you liked him. So you were in the Slytherin common room, he was reading and you sat beside him, trying to think of how to say this

y/n:”hey Severus…” you said, taking a deep breath and continuing as he looked up from his book “there is a boy, that I know… we’re friends and… I like him”

he just stared at you, not getting the hint “why are you telling me? Also, you have friends?”
