I love it! I love your characterization of Severus - he's just perfect! And Harry is hopelessly... Harry! And rather sweet.
There's so much to enjoy here. The little details like Harry observing that Severus smiled, and then correcting himself to think 'un-frowned'. And I couldn't stop snickering with: “I,” Harry bit his lip. “I love you.” Severus stiffened. He looked at Harry for a long, long moment, and a muscle in his jaw twitched slightly. Harry found he was holding his breath. Then Severus leant down, and kissed him gently. “I… am fond of you also, Harry,” he said, sounding like it cost him a great deal to admit it which is almost a word-for-word accounting of when I first became involved with my very Severus-like SO (whose birthday is 2 days after Snape's, although a different year) - just perfect. Lovely characterization, a great story. And I'm eager to read the next bit.
