Severus's primary experiences with people touching him are instances of people hurting him, and he's still moving back and forth in his head about how he feels about what's been progressing with Claire. Is he starving to be held like this - for her to sleep beside him, kiss him, grab his hand? Or is it overwhelming and uncomfortable?
He pulls his arms around her and presses his face against her hair. Tells his head to shut the hell up. He does want it, as horrible and selfish as it is of him. ]
