    Summary

    Harry works at a café. Everyone warns him about the grumpy regular who always occupies the table in the far corner. Except, Harry doesn't know what everyone is on about; he likes the sarcastic man.

    ***

    "Who's he?" Harry whispered.
    "Who?" Sasha asked, looking up from where she was emptying the dishwasher.
    "Dark and broody guy over there," he said, tilting his head towards the window.
    "Ooooh, he... You might want to be careful around him," she said cryptically.
    "Why?" Harry asked.
    "Have you not met him already?"
    "Well, kind of. He was a little grumpy yesterday."
    "Nothing new there, I've never seen him in a good mood. I think he doesn't even know how to smile."

    Summary

    Harry doesn't care about Snape beyond having to sit detentions with the man despite being of age. He doesn't. He asks him out for a drink just to get out of detention. So what if it's... nice? So what if they become friends? So what if Snape *is* lonely?

    It's not Harry's problem - at least not until he realises he's accidentally befriended the man, and just how much he cares for Snape.

    Well, shit.
