Headcanons: Severus taking care of you when you’re sick

Severus Snape x Reader

A/N: I’m currently getting over a cold and I feel like death, so while I’m lying in bed in complete darkness I thought I would try something different. I just need soft and comfy thoughts about Severus tending to me with love and care while I begrudgingly recover from this damn sickness. And please let me know if any of you are interested in seeing more headcanons and little blurbs like this other than what I usually post, I have absolutely no clue what I’m doing on here. Sorry if I got a little carried away with this, my brain doesn’t like to shut up.

It wasn’t often that you fell ill during the school year as a fellow professor at Hogwarts, but no matter when it would occur, Severus was always quick to pick up on it and would take off the entire day if he needed to so he could ensure that you were comfortable and relaxed as he helps you recover. No matter what happened, he would make sure that everything was taken care of so you wouldn’t be stressed about taking a sick day.

“Y/N, darling, are you alright? You’re burning up.” His hand feels cold to the touch when he wraps his fingers over your forehead to check your temperature and you saw his expression turn somber at the whimper that crawled up your throat.

He would be ever so gentle with you as he took in your appearance and asked you how you were feeling so he knew what medicines you needed, being quick to his feet to grab the multiple vials and bottles back to the bed so you wouldn’t have to get up just yet. After he helped you sit up, he tilted your head back with a finger under your chin as he fed you the calming draught and healing tinctures, praising you after drinking every last drop.

“That’s it, you did so well for me. Now lie down, my frail little love, I don’t need you passing out on me.” His hushed words would make you blush and squirm, but now wasn’t the time for such thoughts. You do obey his request though and Severus can be seen with a hint of a smile upon his face as you begin to get comfortable under the blankets.

Taking you in his arms to cuddle with you in bed so you could wait for the potions’ effects to start kicking in and his voice softly guiding you through a breathing exercise was a definite pro when it came to being sick. Severus has always been known to be affectionate with you, but it warmed your heart that he cared so much about you to the point where it got a little annoying. But you couldn’t resist how loved he made you feel by the way he was kissing the top of your head and his fingers gingerly stroking your back while the two of you were tangled within the bedsheets.

One of the best things however was when Severus offered to read to you, knowing that you found his voice soothing and he always enjoyed sharing his favorite stories with you.

If you were to ever complain about being cold or just feeling gross and uncomfortable with the sweat that your body accumulated over time, Severus would be more than happy to draw you a bath, making sure to add eucalyptus and lavender bath oils to help with any sort of congestion and if you so desired, he would wash your hair and give you a scalp massage to help relieve some of the tension from your headache.

While you are soaking in the bath, Severus goes to change the bedsheets out for a fresh set and picks out a pair of new pajamas for you, making sure to draw all the curtains closed to block out the daylight. But if you didn’t want to wear any pajamas, he would hesitantly comply with your wishes and honestly didn’t mind being in bed with you and having no barriers, sharing an intimate moment even given the circumstances.

If Severus is already gifted at brewing potions, then it would be no surprise that he would be more than adequate in the kitchen. He loves cooking meals for you and his chicken noodle soup always hits the spot when you’re feeling under the weather. But if you’re not able to eat very much, he at least intends to keep you hydrated.

He was always diligent on serving you a cup of tea any time you got sick; some herbal concoction of licorice, peppermint, and who knows what else. It tasted something awful even with a spoonful of honey added, but Severus insisted that you drink the entire thing, otherwise you would be whining about your sore throat later on and you despised the look of ‘I told you so’ that he would make.

Although he can be stern when you don’t cooperate with him, you know he is only doing it out of love. It breaks his heart to see you in pain and he only wants what’s best for you and your health. After all, isn’t that what you agreed on when you two were married? Severus vowed to be there for you through sickness and health and he will never break that promise. After everything that has happened in his life, he never thought he would find a light in the darkness, but when you met each other he knew that he deserved something better in this world and he would do everything to cherish and protect you.

“Do you need anything else, my love?”

“No, just you.” Severus chuckles quietly at your reply as he wraps his arms around your frame once more, with your head resting on his chest as he watches you doze off to the sound of his beating heart.

*Severus and Y/N are having a conversation while eating dinner in the Great Hall*

Y/N: Just out of curiosity, have you ever liked someone before but you were too scared to say anything?

Severus: Quite frequently, actually…

Y/N: *laughs awkwardly* Yeah, same here…

*Meanwhile, Minerva and Albus are watching the two professors avoid eye contact with each other in awkward silence*

Minerva: *muttering under her breath* Oh Merlin, they’re so clueless! Just kiss already! Otherwise I’m going to have to hear more about Severus pining over Y/N for the rest of the year!

Albus: *nodding in agreement* I would bet you 10 galleons that Y/N is going to make the first move.

Minerva: I’ll take that bet, I’m sure Severus will step up to the plate eventually. I hope so anyways…

Severus: What are you doing?

Y/N: *hanging upside down from a tree branch* Trying to kiss you?

Severus: You’re going to fall if you’re not careful.

Y/N: …

Y/N: *trying to fold their arms* Shut up and kiss me then, I’m starting to get lightheaded.

Severus: *smirks* With pleasure…

*Severus and Y/N are arguing over him doubting your feelings for him*

Severus: Sometimes I wonder why we’re together, but then-

Y/N: You remember how much you love me?

Severus: Well yes, but-

Y/N: You think about how we’re perfect for each other?

Severus: Sometimes, but-

Y/N: You remember how much you like kissing me?

Severus: Ohhhh Merlin, let me FUCKING talk for fuck’s sake!

Y/N: *sighing* Okay, but you didn’t have to yell…

Severus: I was going to say that you listen to me, but never mind. *walks away*

Y/N: *running after him* SEV I’M SORRY, PLEASE COME BACK! I HAVE COOKIES WE CAN SHARE!

Ok, im having a soft moment so here we go.

Im sure Severus never had anyone cook/bake for him, give him any individual affection, or do anything that made him feel special. No one to fight for him, he's always fighting for himself, yk?

But theres that one teacher (y/n), his bestest friend, always makes him feel wanted, loved, special. And he doesn't know what to do about it, so he just keeps being his cold, sassy self, UNTILLLLLLLL one day she leaves suddenly (short leave or other, your choice!). And poor boy realizes he actually really likes being wanted and appreciated- maybe confession when y/n returns?!!

Im down bad for this man, its concerning

~anonie 🖤

I absolutely adore this prompt and I enjoyed writing this little drabble for you. I apologize that it took me so long to respond, but I’m still trying to figure out how to work with the inbox and I didn’t see it right away. But anyways, I hope you like what I wrote. 🖤

Mutual Feelings

Severus Snape x gn!Reader

1823 words

“How long do you plan to be gone?”

You were pulling your coat over your shoulders before you turned around to see Severus standing by your office desk, his brows furrowed with a sort of solemn expression as he fiddled with his hands.

For a brief moment, you thought that he might actually miss your presence while you were away. He’s never been known to show much emotion in general, but ever since you started your position as the new Herbology professor, the both of you became quite close and he couldn’t help but let his barriers down and he found himself laughing at your frivolous jokes and smiling at the thought of joining you at your office to grade assignments while jesting each other late at night. He hated to admit that you had turned him soft, but he could never bring himself to be angry with you for befriending him in the first place.

“I don’t know yet, but I’ll send you an owl once I get to my sister’s place. She’s been a little worried about our mother’s health recently, but I’m sure it’s nothing too concerning.”

As you stepped closer to Severus, he regained his posture and smiled as you looked up at him. His hands twitched, trying so desperately not to brush away the stray hairs that fell in your face. For so long, he was trying to convince himself that he had no other feelings towards you other than that of a friend, but you somehow wormed your way into his heart and all he could think of was you day in and day out. You were so kind to him, far more than he ever deserved and yet you reminded him that he was wanted, maybe even loved through your acts of kindness as you sought after his advice and even baking him cookies when you knew he needed cheering up after a long day of teaching.

“In that case, I look forward to hearing from you once you get settled. But do be careful while you’re away, I don’t know how long I can endure your students as they will most likely fail at repotting the mandrakes again.” You laugh at his words, but he does have a point. Due to the last time, one of the Ravenclaw students was a little careless when repotting his own mandrake and you ended up in the hospital wing after you fainted. Severus was unabashedly furious, but you assured him it was only an accident and there was no harm done.

“Hey, that was one time!” You slap his shoulder lightly. “Besides, I don’t think any of them would dare make a mistake while under your tutelage. But thanks again for covering for me, I appreciate you doing this.”

“Oh, if only you knew.” He chuckled lowly. “But it’s no trouble at all, and if you need any further assistance while you’re gone, I would be pleased to oblige you.”

“I’ll have to keep that in mind, thank you. I best be off now though, otherwise I’ll never hear the end of my sister pestering me for being late. Goodbye, Severus.” You reach out and wrap your arms around him in a tender embrace and he surprises himself when he willingly reciprocates the hug, giving you a gentle squeeze before he reluctantly steps away.

“Goodbye, Y/N. Safe travels.” Severus only hopes that you don’t notice the small blush that tints his pale cheeks as you turn around to the fireplace in the corner. And with the flash of green flames engulfing your figure, you’re gone.

It had been a whole week since you left the castle and Severus was experiencing an inner turmoil with himself as he pushed his food around with a fork during dinner. You would usually sit next to him for every meal and he soon came to realize how much he enjoyed your company above everyone else who sat at the high table. He never thought he would ever start to harbor feelings for anyone really and yet here he was, looking somberly at the empty chair beside him. He honestly didn’t know how much longer he could bear this unwelcoming loneliness without you there to annoy him with your silly little quips and your sweet little smile that would light up the entire room whenever you greeted him. His heart flutters at the idea of potentially confessing his intentions toward you, hoping that you would share the same sentiments, but there was only one way of knowing and he was growing eager for your return.

You of course had written him several letters, you detailing how your mother was doing quite well despite your concerns and he in return described, albeit exaggerating, how your students managed to not destroy the greenhouses despite their clumsiness. He received your most recent owl only yesterday and he was delighted to see that you would be back in no less than two days time, but it seems that the hours were dragging on and on against his favor.

With a withering sigh, Severus stood to resign from the assembly of his fellow colleagues and made the long trek back to his office to continue and hopefully complete grading the towering pile of parchments that lingered on his desk. The empty hallways were too quiet for his liking as he missed the unnecessary small talk you would have had with him and it only reminded him of your absence even more. It only made his scowl grow deeper and he began to wonder what you were doing at this precise moment, but he soon found out what that answer entailed as he opened the door to his office and stepped through the threshold of the dimly lit space.

There you were as plain as day, sitting in the rickety chair behind his desk with your hands tucked under your chin and that sweet little smile upon your face that he adored so much, as if you were expecting him all along.

“Hi there,” You couldn’t help but grin at the sight of him and the butterflies in your stomach only fluttered even more as he looked upon you in such surprise with those dark and twinkling eyes of his. You were hoping to get that sort of reaction and you tried with all your might to remain calm, but you were rejoicing from the inside at your little triumph.

Severus’s brain must have short circuited before he could give you a sarcastic reply in response, but you were too quick for him to keep up as you crossed the room to stand in front of him. He gazed down at you and he was entranced by your bright eyes for what seemed longer than was appropriate and he was confused by the worried look that replaced your smile he was so used to seeing all the time.

“Is something wrong, Severus?” Your voice sounded so timid and gloomy and he wanted to rectify that matter as quickly as he could to once again behold your cheerful expression.

“N-no, nothing is wrong, Y/N. I’m just surprised to see you, gladly, of course. I wasn’t expecting you for the next couple of days is all.” He wanted nothing more than to grab ahold of you and never let go in fear of you disappearing again, but he remained stoic in fear of not wanting to further upset you with any sudden actions.

“Oh, well, that’s alright. My mother kept insisting that she was fine and that I was wasting my time on being bothered over her health, so she sent me on my way and I figured I would come back early. I’m sorry if I startled you, I guess I should have let you know before I came back.”

“Don’t be, I’m just glad to see you back in one piece.” Severus then finally smiled, his posture softening for a brief moment before he tensed up again as you embraced him tightly. The familiar scent of your perfume engulfed his senses and he let out a soft sigh of content.

But before he could even think of the next action to take, he instinctively held your head against his chest and stroked your hair through his nimble fingers. You pulled away from him and he realized just how close you were to each other and froze, his arm still around your waist and his hand still grasping at your head. It was as if time stood still as he gazed at you longingly and without another thought, he leaned in to capture your lips in a tender kiss.

This caught you off guard for only a second, but you were quick to reciprocate his affections and kissed him languidly, wanting to savor this moment for as long as you could before you both ended the connection. Severus then rested his forehead against yours as you both caught your breath, the small puffs of air that fanned over your face warmed your cheeks even further than your rising blush ever could and smelled distinctly of mulled wine and something that could only be described as him. It was now a permanent addiction you would surely never get tired of.

“I-I um, was hoping to beat you to that first, but that was even better than I expected.” You chuckled sheepishly.

“You-you’re not angry with me?” Severus whispered, his breath hitching in the back of his throat.

“Of course not,” You voice in a hushed tone, reaching up to cup his face and stroke at his cheek gently. “I’ve been wanting to tell you how I feel about you for so long, but I was afraid you would be upset with me and it would ruin our friendship.”

He breathes a sigh of relief at your words and is overjoyed that you have the same desire for him as he does for you. He never would have known that someone would ever like him, let alone wanting to show him that he deserved to be loved in any manner after all of the heartache he has endured in the past. Yet here he was, with you in his arms as you shared more soft and sweet kisses, never wanting to part from you again.

“The feeling is mutual. But I can’t begin to tell you how delighted I am to have you here with me, just like this.” Severus sighs happily, placing a kiss atop your head as he hugs you tightly to his frame.

“Well, maybe we could go to my chambers for a nightcap and start there?” You bite your lip, still nervous with anticipation at the prospect of the Severus Snape confessing his true feelings towards you.

“I would like that very much,” Severus murmurs, taking a hold of your hand as the two of you walk down to your room like you were giddy schoolchildren once more.

*Y/N is badgering on and on about how much they adore Severus*

Severus: *grabs Y/N by the collar of their shirt* You should be addicted to shutting the fuck up.

Y/N: *laughing in his face* You wanna kiss me so bad, it makes you look stupid.

Severus: And so what if I do?

Y/N: *blushes furiously from head to toe*

I Promise

severus snape x reader

712 words

Severus made his way down to your shared chambers that resides in the dungeons after the long and tedious day he endured, wanting nothing more than to spend the rest of the evening in the comfort of your embrace. But he was also peeved at the discovery of what he bore witness to earlier, or rather the lack of what he discovered. He knew only one other person who would betray him so profoundly and he was about to confront the little thief.

Turning the doorknob diligently, he crossed the threshold of the room and glanced up to find you cuddled up in his favorite armchair, reading one of those cliché romance novels you adored so much under the warmth of the soft quilt he gifted you last Christmas. Severus couldn’t help but crack a tiny smile at the sight of you as you looked up from your book, a smile upon your face to match his own.

“Hello, my love. How was your day?” The sound of your voice broke his stupor and he was once reminded of his objective, his smile turning into the classic smirk he loved to use when he was plotting a certain demise.

“Oh, the same as usual. Those dunderheaded students of mine never cease to amaze me by the lack of their ambition to follow basic instructions.” Severus made his way to kneel in front of you, taking a hold of the forgotten tome that rested on your lap and placing it on the adjacent end table to hold your hands within his. “However, I did come across something earlier today that upset me a little.”

Your smile dropped at his words and he knew that you would worry over whatever was bothering him and want to help him make it right. Assuming that he had caught you by surprise, Severus’s smirk only grew wider at the look of confusion upon your facial features.

“I’m sorry to hear about that, sweetheart. Would you like to talk about it?”

“Indeed I do, my darling girl. But first…” Severus murmured before drifting closer towards you to capture your lips in a soft kiss, making you sigh at his affection.

His lips were cool to the touch by your connection, but they were always a welcome reminder of his love towards you. It wasn’t long before he tore himself away from you and began to kiss your cheeks and along your jaw, brushing away the few stray hairs that framed your face so he could reach the shell of your ear only to whisper:

“If you ever, ever eat my biscuits again, there will be severe consequences.”

Severus then leans back and he basks in the dawn of realization you were experiencing. Right there, that was all the satisfaction he needed and he caught you red-handed. But then you had the audacity to begin giggling at him as if to mock him for such a silly notion.

“Pray tell, my dear, but what is so amusing?” He found your reaction quite irksome, but then again, he started to chuckle along with you.

“Oh, I’m so sorry, Sev. I didn’t mean to laugh in your face, I was sure it was something far more serious. But I confess, it was me who who ate the last of your biscuits. That’s why I made a fresh batch for you as an apology.” You pointed to where the small kitchenette was and sure enough, on top of the counter, lies a plate of warm cookies you had only just let out of the oven before Severus came back from his office.

“Would you ever find it in your heart to forgive me, Sev?” Reaching out to cup his face with your hands, you stroke at his cheek gently. Locking his gaze with your doe like eyes, Severus takes a hold of one of your wrists and places a ginger peck at your palm and returns your smile. He’s not actually upset with you, but he could never resist your eloquent charm.

“Hmm, I suppose I will. But only if you promise to join me in bed for the rest of the night.” He has you laughing again with his simple request, and who would you be to deny him?

“I promise.”
