Hurt him? Severus lived for that. The next bite was for all of the jelly legs jinxes Sirius cast on him when he was carrying books down the stairs. And after that? For calling him 'Snivellus.' Severus slipped his fingers into the hair at the back of Sirius's skull and held him closer. The next bite was close to the base of his throat, especially viscious, and meant to pay him back for the terror he had Severus feel as a child.
It stopped being just about Sirius after that. The same emotion that caused the tears yesterday was back in a new and far more dangerous form.
He scratched fingers down Sirius's beck, leaving islands of bruises in lines to his chest. Those were for James Potter, for Lily Evans. For the night of the werewolf attack. For his father. For Dumbledore protecting Lupin. For a mother that never really saw passed her lust for his dad.
Sirius wanted it harder. And Severus half tore him open.
