Summary
Sirius Black isn’t sure what to think of Severus Snape. He’s even less sure about Snape being his personal Mediwizard, under orders of Albus Dumbledore who assures them both that it will hasten his recovery from his long imprisonment in Azkaban.
As time goes on, Sirius discovers that Snape’s prickly exterior protects a tender, haunted soul. At the same time, Severus discovers that Sirius Black is not the cruel, unbearable wizard he always believed him to be.
What will come from this forced coexistence?

Black,” Snape whispered, without turning back over.
“Hmm?”
“…Thank you.” The soft whisper could only be heard over the crackling flames due to their proximity. Sirius almost doubted it, but no, he knew what Snape had said, however reluctantly.
Sirius felt his own cheeks flush as his heart thumped wildly within his chest. A grin cracked his handsome face, and suddenly he was no longer stiff and restrained. He pounced on Snape, with more force than was wise given his condition, and pressed their bodies together, burying his face in the nape of Snape’s neck.
“Let go of me,” Snape hissed, writhing within the hold.
“I like sleeping this way. And that’s what you get for turning away from me.”
Severus felt the urge to swear at Black and send him away, but then he felt Black’s upturned lips and pleasantly warm breath against his skin. He was also fairly sure that he would end up being used as a pillow no matter how much he protested. So he closed his eyes, resigned to his fate, and tried to ignore his quickening pulse and Black’s body heat.
They slept. When Severus woke up hours later, he noted with considerable aggravation that Black’s care was sufficient - he’d regained strength in his limbs and his fever was gone. He wormed his way out from Black’s slumbering grasp and then turned around to view the nest he’d escaped. Black slept peacefully; he looked so comfortable and inviting that Severus almost climbed back into the bed to continue sleeping beside him.
He shook off that desire, internally berating himself for it. He cast a few diagnostic spells to check on Black and was relieved to see the other man was recovering very nicely.
With his job finished - he must not let himself forget this was all a job - Severus Disapparated. He needed space to clear his mind and heart, if he wanted to be able to face Black the next day.
