Chapter Text

After that first time in Gryffindor Severus found he actually quite liked going there. Jamie was fun to play with. He always made the silliest faces, even during class and it made Severus giggle to no end. It got him in trouble so much with the professors. Not Severus though. They only smiled nicely at Severus and then gave Jamie detention. Severus got in trouble off his Papa if he found out though which wasn't so nice. Daddy nearly always kept the secret. It was actually Severus that was the problem when it came to keeping the secret. He always ended up telling Papa during his bath or when he was being changed.

"Papa?" Severus asked one night, when Papa was changing his diaper.

"Yes little cub?"

"Do you and Daddy love each other?" He asked. He noticed how Daddy and Papa always looked so cosy together until someone pointed it out to them and then they would jump super high, like the time Severus had too many choccy frogs and got sick all over Sirius. Looking at his Papa now Severus could see that he was going red.

"We do. We love you most of all though." Severus smiled at that.

"How much?" He always asked them this question in some form every day.

"We love you to the moon and back." Lucius said, poking him in his tummy before doing up his sleeper.

"That's very far."

"It is and that's how much we love you." Lucius smiled, picking him up and giving his head a kiss. "Let's go out and see what your Daddy is doing."

Severus hummed happily, content to lay down again his Papa and be carried around. Since living with his new Papa and Daddy, Severus was getting used to being cared for all the time. It was strange at first, the constant love and affection but he soon grew used to it and found himself seeking it out happily. He heard his Daddy mention 'touch starved' before. He wasn't sure what it meant but he did know that they always cuddled him. Jamie did as well which was nice.

Severus peaked his head up when they came into the living room. Kicking his legs in delight when he saw Jamie sitting there beside his Daddy. Sirius was also there but Severus still wasn't sure about him. He squirmed to get down and took off running towards where Jamie's arms were out.

"Hello little man! Did you miss me for the last two hours." He joked, having seen the little a short time ago during dinner.

Severus nodded shyly, "Missed you lots." He said, kissing him on his cheek.

James laughed at the adorable little, unable to believe what a few short weeks could do to change something.

"Well I suppose it's only natural to miss your best friend." He said, tickling Severus slightly.

For the last week or so he has been trying to get Severus to call him his best friend. So far Severus was holding out on him. He kept claiming that his Daddy and Papa's feelings would be hurt if he said it to him.

"Daddy and Papa didn't leave." Severus responded. James clutched his heart.

"Ouch. You wound me. Am I not your best friend?"

"Daddy and Papa would be sad if I'm not theirs." Severus said, looking at his Daddy. His Papa had gone to get his night-night bottle.

"It's okay for you to have best friends outside of us baby. You can have more than one." Remus had heard this conversation between James and Severus many times. This was the first time Severus ever looked at him though, during it.

"Jamie can be my best friend too?" He asked.

"He sure can!" Remus said enthusiastically. Severus' smile lit up his face.

"Jamie. You can be my best friend too!"

James threw Severus up playfully, making him screech. "Woohoo!"

All the while Sirius was watching on quietly. Not really sure how to interact with the little in front of him. James was a natural with him but to Sirius all he could think about was Snivellus. The greasy Slytherin git. Even though he most definitely not that same boy it was hard to switch it over in his mind. He'd asked James to help him overcome it and somehow coming over here was supposed to help him get used to it. All he felt at the moment though was jealously at Severus saying over and over that 'Jamie was his best friend'. He knew it shouldn't annoy him but it. Unfortunately he picked the wrong moment to lose his cool and snap at the little.

"Well he was my friend first Snivellus." He snapped angrily at the little. Severus stopped smiling and his lower lip trembled. He hated when people called him that name. Daddy and Papa said it wasn't nice. He looked up to Jamie's who arms he was still in.

"Doesn't like me?" He asked pointing at Jamie.

"No, no, little man. I like you! So does Sirius. He's just being mean." James said softly, glaring at Sirius. Sirius glared back at them, not caring. He lost the glare though when he heard Lucius behind him.

"Yes little cub. Sirius is being mean. This isn't the first time we've had a conversation about this Mr. Black." Lucius commented coolly. Sirius began to sweat. "Do you remember what I said would happen if I heard any comments like this again?" He asked conversationally.

Sirius shook his head even though he knew full well. Lucius just hummed and turned to Severus who was still sniffling a small bit, hiding his head in James' chest.
"Do you remember what I said cub?" He asked more softly.

Severus lifted his head. "Spankin'. Your cub not gettin' a spankin' is he?" He asked in worry. He knew he didn't respond to Sirius but he was talking about Jamie being his best friend which set Sirius off.

"No cub. You didn't do anything wrong. I think Sirius will be though."

Sirius spluttered, unable to form words. It only took a few seconds but before he was fully aware of what was happening he Lucius was sitting beside him and pulling him over his lap with his pants around his thighs.

"Y-You can't do this!" He cried out after the first spank landed, shocking him into speaking.

"I believe I am. Normally I would never dream of this but as you are friends of Remus and will be in my household a lot I am taking the liberty of setting a few things straight. I have also written to your parents in the mean time to ask permission should the need arise. It was given." Lucius said as he continued to spank him. Sirius winced with each impact of Lucius' hand. His bottom was starting to flame. It was nearly as bad as his cheeks were at all of them seeing him like this. Tears came unbidden into his eyes. Unable to hold out he let out a small sob. So busy in crying that he wasn't aware Lucius had stopped spanking him until he felt a hand rubbing soothing circles against his back.

"It's okay now." Lucius began when he heard Sirius' sobs taper down into something more manageable. "I don't want to do it but if the need arises I will."

He gently stood Sirius back up and helped him fix his pants before pulling him down for a post spanking cuddle. Sirius squirmed a bit but Lucius just shushed him.

"Sorry but you'll have to deal with this as well. Anyone getting a spanking always gets a cuddle after. Isn't that right cub?"

Severus nodded his head. "Yeah Papa! You have to get a cuddle, 'cause if you don't then you will still be sad." Severus explained to Sirius. Sirius just looked back at him, still upset that he got spanked in front of everyone. Feeling sympathy towards him Severus squirmed off of James' lap and toddled over to his baby bag, rooting around until he got what he was looking for. He toddled back to Lucius and reached over him to place the pacifier in Sirius' mouth. Sirius blinked in surprise at Severus, who smiled shyly back at him.
"Paci will make you feel better too." He said with confidence. Walking over to his Daddy this time, looking to be picked up.

James, Lucius and Remus all hid their laughs as Severus looked so happy with helping while Sirius just looked confused. Lucius noted that he didn't take the pacifier out though. That would be something to think about later.

"Right. I think it's time for someone's night-night bottle." Remus said, summoning the bottle where Lucius left it before Sirius spanking. Severus took the nipple happily into his mouth ready for night-nights. Snuggling into his Daddy with his Papa and his best friend Jamie here made it even better. He felt that he and Sirius were going to make fast friends now that they realised that Sirius might have the wrong classification. He sighed happily around the bottle as his Daddy rocked him. Severus smiled sleepily up at him, blushing slightly at the look of pure love he got back. He could hear his Papa talking quietly to Sirius and felt Jamie rubbing the sole of his feet. Things didn't get much better than this he thought, as he slowly fell asleep. Who would have thought that in a few short weeks he'd find himself a Daddy, a Papa, a big brother and a little brother? He wondered would he have to share a nursery now? Ah well those were thoughts for another day. Sighing happily one more, Severus let sleep take him, knowing he was safe and he was loved. In the end, that was all that mattered.

Notes:

So that's it! The last chapter of this story. Thanks to everyone who followed it and commented. It's much appreciated. Let me know what you think of this :)

Notes:

Hey! So this was inspired by a user called Elf_Lover and a second user Kortney Kay Kerker also wanted to see it, once the idea was there it wouldn't leave. Not sure how many chapters it'll be but it will probably be no more than ten.

Let me know what you think of this and if you're interested in reading more.

Comments and Kudos are appreciated :)
