Ha. Well I'm sure you know about the follow-up, Two Men On Top (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/twomenonetop.html).
What happened in between those two stories is that Ron didn't leave well enough alone. His manner towards Snape became very casual and rather inappropriate, which pissed Snape off. Ron couldn't help it though. After the initial shock they'd had a nice time and he couldn't look at Snape the same way (nor could he resist teasing him about the silk shirt).
Snape cracked down on him in class, gave out any number of punishments, lines, forced him to drink foul-smelling potions, split Ron and Harry up and made Ron work with Neville -- but nothing worked. Ron would smirk and suggest, "Why don't you give me detention?" which was the last thing Snape wanted. The other Gryffindors couldn't believe it and the classroom started to get a little out of control. Ron started to get off on the power he had (and his new-found popularity). Then Snape announced an entire month of detention for Ron... and Ron just grinned.
Until he discovered his detention was with Filch.
But Snape couldn't resist gloating over Ron, so would pop by to inform him of a spot he missed, let him know of future tasks, or delightful ones he'd be revisiting.
At this point it had become a battle of wills.
So Ron turned up the heat, just to shut Snape up. He started scrubbing the Dungeon floor (his task for that night) shirtless. Snape stopped by... and didn't say a word.
"What's that? Cat got your tongue, Snape?" Ron smirked.
Scowling, Snape folded his arms. "Well, if you plan to put on a show...." He settled in to watch, and Ron turned red with embarrassment.
It escalated from there and bled more and more into the classroom, until even Ron's friends were wondering what the hell was going on. Finally Snape met Ron in Hogsmeade for private this-has-got-to-stop detente. This was a bad mistake, as they wound up spending the night in a hotel room together.
