Chapter 15

Fizzing Whizbees Apartments, 2020

This was a familiar thing, Logan sitting on Leo’s lap as they tongue punched each other's faces on the couch while Tortilla sprawled out next to them grooming herself. They would stop a few times just to look at each other and giggle. Logan was moving unintentionally on Leo’s lap. Making him suffer more than Logan realized. Leo wasn’t hard yet so they didn’t stop but he was getting there.

Logan could tell because his lover was getting a bit turned on by just how red his face was. They got home about a week ago from the Ravenclaw tournament and Leo having been so busy with school they haven’t had a chance for them to just hang out one on one. That left Logan with an important question on his tongue. He has been thinking about asking Leo to move in for a while, he basically lives there anyway so he didn’t see the issue, except the apartment he lives in now is closer to his school. Yeah, it's only like a couple blocks closer but Leo doesn’t have a car or anything and Logan is gone in the morning’s a lot because he goes to lift at the stadium.

Leo pulls away and flops his head back over the back of the couch, panting and so so red. Logan smiles and leans forward, fitting his nose into the crook of Leo’s neck and leaving little wispy kisses. Leo lifts his hands from Logan’s hips up to his hair and takes it out of the bun he threw it up in earlier. His hair falls down and Leo just runs his fingers through the bottom half of his hair detangling it as gently as he can.

“You didn’t get hard this time.” Logan smiles and Leo can feel it on his neck.

“Too stressed.”

“Really?”

“Mhm, happens to the best of us.” Leo sighs and rests his cheek on Logan’s head. Logan feels so warm and smiley, he wishes they could stay like this forever. Then he remembers a promise Leo made in an elevator. Sitting up and placing his forearms on either side of Leo’s head and looking down at him. His eyes are closed and those light lashes are resting on his cheeks so softly, he notices how there are some lashes a lot lighter than the others. Reminds him of that weird white spot on his temple that has white hair.

“Can I see your tattoo?”

“You’ll have to sit up so I can take my shirt off.” Logan whines a bit annoyed. He didn’t want to move! He was comfy!

“Can’t you just roll up your sleeve?” Leo smiles and shakes his head, Logan gorans and sits up a bit. “Can I take off your shirt?” Leo opens an eye and nods, lifting his arms up. Logan flutters his fingers under the hem of Leo’s shirt and he feels him flex.

“You’re tickling me.” Logan laughs lightly and starts lifting up the shirt. He takes it all the way off and just stares at Leo’s arm. This tattoo was huge and creepy. “You look scared.”

“It’s just more creepy than I was expecting with all the… organs.”

“Yeah I can see that. Let me explain it.” Logan couldn't take his eyes off the ink, it had like hundreds of words in different languages in neat even rows going from his shoulder down to his wrist, there were spaces where two vertical pairs of eyes on the inside of his arm are. Two in the middle of his bicep and two in the middle of his forearm. “All the words are actually phrases, they are positive things I have said to myself over the years. Starting in Swedish, then the phrase is in Finnish, then Norwegian, then Icelandic, then Danish, then English, German, French, and finally Russian. That's why there are so many words. It's stuff like ‘I’m proud of you’ or ‘You’re okay’ stuff like that. The eyes represent how there have always been eyes on me since I was a baby. Whether it was caseworkers or baseball scouts. I’ve always been watched. Then if you look here.” Leo lifts his arm straight up and Logan sees on the back of his arm are still the words but also an anatomically correct heart on his upper arm and a correct brain on the back of his forearm. Logan noticed that the body parts were outlined in red as well as black, he can't remember if the eyes had it too. “Basically the heart and brain are there because my own feelings and thoughts have a tendency to contradict. Like too much. But I never knew which one to trust. Still don’t.” Leo puts his arm down and Logan reaches out to touch. The skin is still as soft as any forearm is but it's weird to watch his fingers run over what looks like ancient script on someone else's skin.

“Why get such a big tattoo if you are just going to hide it?”

“I got it for myself, I didn’t get it for everyone else.” Logan keeps running his hand all over Leo’s arm, like he doesn’t believe it's a real thing. Then he suddenly stops, looks into those pale eyes and finally asks the question.

“Will you move in with me?” Leo doesn’t even pause before he answers.

“Yes.”

They worked things out with Leo’s schedule, he would stay at Remus’ during the week and Logan’s during the weekends. It just worked the best that way. It took a few weeks for it all to fall into a good rhythm but they eventually got it. Remus would even stop by on friday nights and stay for dinner. Which was whatever Leo felt like making. Guy was a wizard in the kitchen but apparently made Remus cook for him all the time.

Leo has always wanted to go to a haunted house and pumpkin patch. He wanted to go into a corn maze and prove they were easy to get out of. He wanted to eat a fresh caramel apple and see if it was really as good as everyone said it was. He wasn’t a big fan of the flavor of pumpkin in sweets, he preferred carrot, but he was willing to try because he knows Logan loves sweet things.

Whether it was drinks or snacks, Logan loved sweets. He also loved scary shit, he and Noelle always bond over their love of horror movies and just Halloween in general. Having hashed out plans to get away from slasher characters on their living room floor when they were younger. Logan is driving to a pumpkin patch that has an orchard and a haunted house, he was taking Leo there as a surprise. This patch is one of the places Finn took him in his rookie year and he's gone back a few times a year, every year.

Leo has been exhausted lately and studying like crazy. He was currently asleep in the passenger seat with his well used notebook in his lap. He would wake up a bit whenever they would hit a bump in the road and fall right back asleep. Logan pulls up to a parking spot in the grass next to a big fuck off pick up truck and turns off the car. He unbuckles and shakes Leo’s shoulder.

“Leo, we are here.” Leo lifts up his head and blinks a few times sniffling and rolling his shoulders before looking at Logan.

“Where is here?” Leo’s accent was really thick because he was still sleepy and stretched his arms back over the headrest of his seat.

“Well, you mentioned wanting to go to a pumpkin patch so we are at one.” Logan smiles when Leo does and grabs his phone off the stand on the dash. “Let's go, I want to go to the haunted house first.” Leo nods and they get out of the car. They link hands and walk towards the small house separating the pumpkins and the apple trees.

The house was not scary in the slightest, Leo saw everything coming before it jumped out at them but he did love how Logan wouldn’t pay attention and get scared so he would cling to him. Leo fucking loved that so much. They exit the house and Logan is still wrapped around Leo’s arm.

“Still spooked?”

“I just need an excuse to be all cuddled up to you in public.” Logan looks up at him and smiles.

“Why do you need an excuse?” Leo squeezes his hand and looks down smiling just a little because he couldn’t help it.

“Well, we aren’t public and we never talked about it either.”

“How about we don’t worry about the media and just be a couple, hm?” Leo leans down and kisses Logan’s forehead.

“I… like that idea.” Logan cuddles up to him more and rubs his cheek on Leo’s arm. They walk over to a food stand that has everything to do with apples, getting cups of apple cider and Leo’s apple he wanted. It was wrapped in plastic and just plain caramel. Logan drags him over to the pumpkin stand and gets a pumpkin bar. They sit down at a picnic table and Logan just stares at the bar with frosting on it flexing his hands because he wasn’t given a fork. He hates, hates, sticky stuff on his hands. Leo meanwhile is focused on unwrapping his apple and taking a bite. It strings soft caramel when he takes it away from his face. It was pretty fucking good, setting it down on the plastic he takes a drink of his cider and frowns.

He did not like it. It was like hot cinnamon water and it was not enjoyable. He looks up at Logan who is just opening and closing his hands as he looks at his treat.

“What's wrong?”

“It’s going to make my hands sticky because I don't have a fork.”

“You don’t like that?” Logan shakes his head, Leo thinks for a moment.

“When Finn and I used to go get pretzels at the mall back in Harvard he would hold them and I would eat them so I didn’t get stuff on my hands.”

“Want me to do that? I don’t mind.” Logan looks up at his boyfriend and sees the soft smile with a bit of caramel on the corner of his mouth. Logan would wipe it off but… sticky.

“You would do that for me?” Logan just feels a warm feeling bloom in his chest and he puts his hands in his lap. That warm travels to his cheeks and he knows they are red but he could care less at this moment.

“Of course! Come here.” Leo pats his side of the table and Logan gets up and moves to the same side of the table. He puts a hand on Leo’s thigh and opens when Leo holds the bar up to his face taking a bite. Leo sets the bar down to take a bite of his apple again.

They continue this until their food is gone and Logan scarf down both their cups of apple cider. They go to pick apples, only getting a small bag full because Leo wants to make recipes with them. They go to pick out two pumpkins to carve and one to cook with. Leo picks out two smaller pumpkins and watches Logan pick the biggest fucking pumpkin and struggle to take it over to the til. Leo offered to carry it but Logan refused. Carrying it to the car and setting it on the trunk huffing.

“Don’t you lift like everyday?”

“Shut upppp!” Leo laughs and they put everything into the back of the car. They get into the vehicle to drive home and share a sweet kiss before they get buckled and start driving.

It was a good week.

Deathly Hallow Apartments, 2020

Before the door is even completely closed Kuny is against the wall with both of their bags at their feet. They are kissing frantically, hands grabbing wherever they can. Nado is basically trying to climb up his body. So, Kuny gives him what he wants and picks him up.

It wasn’t the most graceful thing in the world. They were mid-walk as he picked Nado up, causing him to stumble a bit, basically pinning the other man into the frame of his bedroom door. They pull away from their energetic smooching to laugh. Pressing their foreheads together Kuny adjusts his grip. Taking his friend over to the bed he tosses him onto it. Watching Nado bounce a bit while still laughing. Kuny climbs between his legs and feels Nado’s hands scramble to try and take his clothes off but Kuny grabs his wrists and just holds them for a moment.

“What’s wrong?” Nado is looking at him with those deep dark green eyes and a little bit of a flush on his cheeks, making his tan all that more glowy. There wasn’t anything wrong, he just liked to look. He also wanted to take things a bit slower, he didn’t want to hurt Nado and this was something completely new to him.

“Nothing. I just want to take my time with you. I don’t want to rush this.” He reaches over and lifts’s Nado’s shirt off him with ease. Tracing over all the wild ink and color. He was soft but also bumpy along his chest and shoulders but it reminded Kuny that Nado was indeed a human and not a god.

“Kunnnnnyyyyyy! You promised to fuck the life out of me!” Nado was tugging on his shirt and Kuny let him take it off him. He rolls his eyes and yanks Nado’s pants and underwear off before standing up and taking off the rest of his own clothes. He returns to his spot between those long legs. “Uns!”

“Sh! We need to do this right or else I’ll hurt you because… well.” Jackson watches Kuny gesture to his groin and rolls his eyes.

“Because of your massive cock, yes, I get it. But hurrrrryyyyy! I’m horny!”

“I can tell.” Kuny jokes and puts his arm up as a pillow from the massive pile behind them comes flying at his face. Hitting it to the side and laughing he leans down and kisses Nado, pulling away before they get to into the heat of the moment. He lets his eyes rake over Nado once more and stops when he notices a tattoo he has never seen before. He runs his hand in the crease of Nado’s thigh and pushes his left leg open. “Do you have a tattoo… near your dick?” Kuny just looks at the tattoo so confused, imagining the pain that comes from getting a tattoo in the crease of your thigh.

“Yeah, it’s a slug.”

“Why?”

“I thought he was cute! His name is Stanley.” Nado smiles up at him with pride and Kuny can’t help but let out an amused huff.

“You’re cute.” Kuny says and rummages around under the pillows on either side of the laughing man. He finds what he is looking for but loses his grip on it when he moves down Nado’s body. While Nado has his eyes closed from laughing he decides to give Nado a taste of his own medicine and swallow him down while he isn’t paying attention.

“UNS! FUCK! A LITTLE WARNING!” Jackson grips Kuny’s hair tightly, it was probably painful but he could care less at this very moment. Feeling his eyes unintentionally cross, he feels a heavy arm patting the bed next to him. He forces himself to focus and sees the hand trying to grab the lube that Kuny must have found under his pillow mountain earlier. Jackson picks it up, grabs Kuny’s hand and slaps the bottle in that large palm. When did Kuny even learn how to suck dick!?

Jackson can hear himself letting out breathy moans but he isn’t really paying attention to anything other than the man between his legs. He once again feels Kuny moving and Jackson helps him out, lifting his legs to rest over Kuny’s broad shoulders. He relaxes, stretching out completely with his hands stretched out over his head. Then he is less relaxed. He feel’s fingers around just where he wants them and feels a loud moan fall from his mouth as two thick fingers push into him.

Kuny was in heaven. He was listening to Nado moaning, for the first time not through their bedroom walls and it was from himself making Nado feel good. He used two fingers because he remembers talking to Nado about it one night when they were just watching shit TV on a sunday. Casual conversation, of course. Nado was crushing his head between his thighs and it was a wonderful feeling. He could feel his muscles tensing around his ears and fuck, was it addictive.

“Kuny, I’m gonna cum if you don’t-” Jackson was not a person who came easily but he hasn’t had sex in what felt like forever. When in reality it was about three months. He feels that magical mouth pull off his dick and he whines unintentionally. He feels those fingers keep moving at a steady and light rhythm.

“I’m doing four fingers.” Kuny looks up to see a confused look on Nado’s face.

“Now!?” Jackson did not realize there were more fingers added, was he really that far gone already?

“No,” Kuny chuckles and gives his inner thigh a small kiss. “ But that's what I will work up to because I really really don’t want to hurt you. Okay?”

“No, it's going to take forever!” He chokes on his words when he feels pressure on his prostate making his legs jerk in different directions and his back arch off the bed. “OKAY! Okay! Take your time.” He takes a deep breath and keeps up the pattern of deep breaths to keep himself from finding the edge too soon. Just trying to figure out how Kuny knows what he's doing.

Kuny worked him open for a few minutes, they were both sweating and Nado was twitching, gripping the sheets as his knuckles turned white. Kuny slides in another finger and Nado looks like he was about to have a stroke. So he completely stopped moving his fingers all together.

“KUNY! What the hell!?”

“I want to watch you move.” Kuny lifts himself up so he is resting most of his weight in his forearm that is placed just above Nado’s shoulder. He sees the other man turn bright red and flop his arm over his eyes. Grumbling as he slowly starts to move his hips. “Nado, look at me.”

It feels like Kuny is taunting him, so he lets out a huff and moves his arm from across his eyes to over his head, only to see those beautiful light brown eyes right in front of him.

They kiss and he feels himself turn into a melted ice cream puddle.

Kuny pushes in another finger knowing that Nado was ready for it a long time ago but he has been enjoying watching the other man just fall apart. Nado breaks their kiss to moan brokenly. Loving that sound he starts kissing up the taunt tattooed neck.

“Just like that.” Kuny mumbles into the sweaty skin as Nado keeps his hips moving on their own. Kuny takes over once again but is only able to move his fingers in and out once before Nado is grabbing his wrist making him stop moving. “You okay?” The concern in his voice makes Nado smile. He cares about him and it makes him so happy.

“Y-yeah, I just don’t want to cum when you aren’t in me.”

“... I’m literally inside you!”

“Not your fingers! Your cock!” Nado laughs a bit as Kuny chuckles into his neck. This pause has given him a bit of time to calm down and get away from the edge. Shivering as Kuny pulls his fingers out. He twists a bit to pop his hips and sighs as Kuny reaches into the side table to grab a condom and puts it on after throwing the wrapper over his shoulder. Kuny lubes himself up and wraps Nado’s legs around his waist, feeling him pull him closer. Obviously in a hurry to get fucked.

Jackson was trying to hurry Kuny the fuck up without words and instead is bracketed in with Kuny putting his hands one either side of his head and looking down on him with this expression of cockiness. Which he has never seen from Kuny before. It was sexy as hell.

“I’m taking my time with you for a reason. But once you get comfortable, you better hold on.” Kuny pushes in about a quarter of the way and watches Nado’s face contrast from surprise to eyes-rolled back in pleasure as his mouth falls open. He slowly starts rocking only a bit of the way in and out as he lets Nado get used to him. Rough hands wrap around his wrists and Nado is just panting under him. Kuny pushes a bit more in and Nado chokes again.

“Uns-”

“Deep breaths, tell me when you’re ready.” Kuny keeps his slow pace using one of his hands to brush the hair off Nado’s forehead. “You’re beautiful”

“You’re a fucking sap.” Jackson groans, looking up at Kuny who is staring back at him with the most loving look. That just makes him want to spill out those three words without hesitation… but he doesn’t. “Kuny-please!”

“Be patient” Kuny feel Nado’s heels digging into his booty trying to push him in more to bring him closer. So he gives Nado what he wants, how could he resist with a face like that. Kuny pushes in half way, leaning down to give Nado a sweet sweet kiss.

“Is that all of you?”

“Half”

“Oh thank GOD!” Jackson pushes his hips up and moans, wrapping his arms around Kuny’s neck pulling him in for more kisses. Laughing into the kisses, he makes the bigger man laugh as well, having a little giggle fit in the middle of them doing the horizontal tango. Seemed about right. Kuny pulls away and brushes the hair out of his face again because the mess-of-a-bun it's in has been flopping all over. His hands are sweaty so the hair gets a bit stuck to it and ends up pulling it a bit.

“Ow!”

“Sorry my hands are-”

“Do it again.” Kuny shakes his head a bit surprised and wants to say something but he doesn’t even know what to say. He just tugs lightly on that hair he loves so much, lacing his fingers in the bun. He pulls on his hair and pushes all the way in, with his hand pulling the hair holding Nado’s head back so his neck is completely exposed and he just goes to town sucking on those tattoos.

“ILOVEYOUILOVEYOUILOVEYOU-OHFUCK!” Kuny was pounding into him for a good few minutes until Jackson’s head got the best of him and he spurted out those words he wanted to save for a special occasion. But now that he thinks about it, this is a special occasion. Kuny just stops moving when the words sink in around them and it annoys the hell out of Jackson. “Kuny! Please move!”

Kuny does just that, pressing his face into Nado’s neck once again and just fucking the life out of him without stopping. No breaks, no pauses, nothing. He was going to show Nado that he loved him too even if he couldn’t get the words out at this very moment. Kuny feels Nado’s arm slide off from around him and go between them. His hips don’t slow down in the slightest. He was so close and he could feel it in his navel.

Jackson reached between them, he really wanted to try and cum untouched but with how Kuny was starting to sloppily move he realized the teddy bear wasn’t going to last long enough for that. Guess they would have to do this again. He smiles to himself at the thought and starts jerking himself off quickly, his moans were getting higher pitched. He throws his head back and grips Kuny’s shoulder with his free hand as Kuny thrust a few more times incredibly hard just the way he likes it.

They both cum around the same time and Kuny just puts all his weight on Nado, flopping his arms out.

“I’m hot.”

“Yes, you are. We should go again.” Jackson panted out not wanting this night to end.

“You’ll be too sore to do anything tomorrow.” Kuny mumbles behind his ear and kisses lightly.

“Only thing I’m doing tomorrow is getting my tiddies pierced, oh and my tongue.” Jackson shifts a bit to get his arms out from between them, resting them above his head to cool down.

“You still have to sit.”

“Maybe a little.” They both let out little amused breaths laying together in comfortable and sleepy silence.

The next morning Jackson is sitting on the piercing chair, he went a couple hours early to chat with Marlene as she tattoos some guys thigh, then makes his way over to Mary who is stenciling up a new tattoo for a client who texted her an idea, and finally Andy who was just eating a granola bar and was happy to talk to him. Ink came in late and she is his normal piercer. She looked like shit if he was being honest. Pale, sweaty and tired.

“Hi, sorry I’m late. It’s been a rough week. I had treatment a few days ago and just feel like shit.” She puts on her gloves and has him take off his shirt.

“Treatment? Are you sick? Is everything okay?” She shakes her head and starts disinfecting his chest working quickly before sitting down on her swivel chair and scoots next to him.

“No, June and I have been trying to have a baby for… a long time. It hasn’t been working.” She just looks so sad and he doesn’t really know how to respond and it appears she doesn’t want him to because she just gives him the rundown of after care for his new jewels. Then pierces him once he's ready.

And that was that.

Chapter 10

Indicolite Stadium, Ravenclaw, Hogwarts 2020

The Ravenclaw tournament is only held in the years when not a single team from Hogwarts makes it into the World Series. It was the last games of the season and was more played for fun than anything else. Everyone except the Ravenclaw teams all stayed in the Feathered Hotel just a block away from the stadium.

Ravenclaws stadium was the best stadium in the city, it was on the second highest point of Hogwarts. It was Remus’ childhood, his dad took him to games here all the time, getting ridiculously long hot dogs and comically small sodas. He loves it here.

He was hanging out with his team and a couple other teams in the players lounge as they watched the Lion’s play against the Ravens. It was a close game, the room was split 50/50 on who would win. They were tied up until the 8th inning when Logan hit a home run! Having the Lions take the lead into the 9th. Remus was so happy and mildly intoxicated from the shitty beer on tap at the little wet bar in the corner. This tournament was a big deal in Hogwarts with so many people arriving it was safest and probably the easiest to keep the players in the lounge.

How do you do that? Beer and food.

The game ended in the Lions winning 45 to 43, the teams came out to join everyone in hanging out. For some reason Sirius is in a bad mood. It’s more like he’s sad, this was the last game of the night so everyone starts filing out to their cars to either go home or to the Feathered. Remus sees Sirius just sitting on one of the deep blue couches, his face was in his hands as he is resting his elbows on his knees.

“What's up?” Remus sits on the arm of the couch next to the other man.

“Just a bad night is all.” Sirius takes his face out of his hands leaning back and looking up at his… Well, he still didn't know what to call Remus.

“You pitched great tonight, you won the game.” Remus was surprising Sirius more and more everyday, he never expected someone who insults him so frequently to care about how he’s feeling.

“It’s not a bad night in that way… I got a call from my parents telling me I have to go home for some fancy dinner party for my birthday. It’s going to be some stupid thing with all their buiness associates who disrespect our culture and try to pass it off as a joke. I’d rather not go but I don’t have a choice.” It felt like there were metal beads being poured into his chest, getting heavier and heavier the more he thought about going home. Like he was being buried from the inside out.

“Come with me.” Remus stands up and starts walking to the stairs that lead up into the stands. Sirius only has a second to follow him before he loses him. Sirius gets off the couch and follows behind the taller man, he notices that Remus is wearing a Lions jersey without a name or number on the back. It made his mind wander to a place he never thought it would.

What would Remus Lupin look like in... his jersey?

He is brought away from his troubling thoughts when they have climbed all the way past the boxes to the nosebleeds and Remus starts climbing an old metal ladder. Sirius hesitates because it doesn’t look very safe and he can see through the railing that's at the back of the stadium.

“Come on, you’re being slow.” Sirius sighs and climbs up the ladder as quickly as he can. He finds himself standing on top of one of the boxes, looking over the field and even the whole city they were that high up.

“Whoa.” He sits down next to Remus who has his legs over the side of the box and is swinging them. Sirius takes in the beauty of the city, all the lights turning on as the sun sets, the colors of the sky melting into an oil painting of hues.

“It's beautiful up here, how did you find this?”

“This is where I would come when I was a kid, after camps here or whenever my bike wasn’t locked up to a pole because I forgot the combination. I was never allowed in the stadium by myself after I got in trouble so in high school I’d have to break in just to get some alone time. I would read a lot up here.” Sirius looks at Remus, the taller of them pulled a small bag of ranch flavored sunflower seeds from his jeans pocket and put a handful in his mouth. Spitting the shells over the side to be swept up later. “Want some?” He holds the bag out to Sirius who just shakes his head turning it to look back out to the view.

“I never had a spot like this when I was a kid, there were always eyes on me. My family doesn’t have the best reputation with the tribe because of a rumor of why our eyes are blue and the fact that Orion bought a uranium mine for some white people.”

“Uranium?” Remus looks at him, raising an eyebrow. Was Uranium still a big thing?

“Yeah, it’s something that the tribe was forced to mine when it was first discovered. People on the Res are still affected by radiation poisoning to the point where there are special clinics for that. Yet, he just decided he cared more about the money than anything. His dad was to busy playing baseball to show him any attention and his mom just gave him money to stay away from her so it’s no wonder hes so fucked in the head.” He finds a couple twigs and tosses them over the edge just watching them fall. “We call it yellow dirt. You can look up all the stories about it if you want.”

“I will.” Sirius was surprised, usually when he tries to inform someone about this stuff they just brush it off. He looks up meeting Remus’s eyes and smiles a little. “I want to know more about your culture, it sounds amazing and interesting. Plus, if we have to be friends then we should probably know as much about each other as possible.” Remus spits out a couple more seeds before tossing more in his mouth. Cracking them loudly.

“I don’t know what to say to that…”

“Then don’t say anything.” Sirius pulls one of his legs up from over the side and rests his chin on his knee. “I thought your dad was just a baseball star.”

“After he got injured from sliding wrong he decided to fuck over the family as much as possible I guess..” He sighs, flicking one of Remus’ sunflower seeds that fell between them off the box, watching it fly out over a couple rows of seats before disappearing.

“I forgot he got injured.” There was a silence between them, all they heard was the breeze in their ears. Then Sirius couldn’t take it anymore.

“What about your family? Are they nice?” Remus smiles, Sirius is looking at his profile and notices how it's illuminated by the crescent of the sun still being shown over the land.

“My parents are amazing and supportive and Julian is such a cutie, he gets on my nerves but I’m pretty sure all brothers do that. He’s also about ten years younger than me and somehow I was the accident. He was so excited when he got into Ilvermorny… He asked me what highschool was like and I couldn’t tell him because my experience was so different” They let out light hearted laughs, Remus leans back supporting himself with his hands. Sirius could tell something was bothering him though.

“Reg and I weren’t on speaking terms for a while, our parents thought we would revolt against them or something. We didn’t start talking again until he was drafted, then he just showed up at my apartment and yelled at me for leaving him there alone.” Sirius criss-crosses his legs and leans back on his hands as well so he can look up at the stars that are starting to peek through the dark sky.

“You have each other now.”

“Yeah, we do.” They watch the stars come out in silence, eventually climbing down and making their way out of the stadium.

Sirius and Remus walk back to the hotel together, Remus was nice enough to carry Sirius’ bag there for him. All he did was complain about his shoulder being sore and suddenly his bag was out of his hands. They walked in silence, only breaking that when James walked up between them after they got to the hotel lounge, slapping his arms over their shoulders.

“Look who's getting along!” He kisses both their cheeks before patting their shoulders and walking in front of them, turning around to face them as all of them continue walking. “Anyway, there is a ghost adventures marathon this week and I would like to watch it with my two best friends.”

“Lily isn’t here, aren’t her and the baby your best friends?” Remus sends him a teasing smile at the complete offense on James’ face.

“I mean you!” He smacks Remus upside the head while speaking in quick Spanish that he can’t understand besides, “Estúpido.” Remus laughs and ruffles James’ already crazy hair.

They go up to Sirius’ room because James is sharing a room with Kuny, the latter being the captain was allowed to get his own room because he has special privileges… like a loser. James decides to take up the entire couch, stretching his arms behind his head and his ankles over the side of the other arm of the couch. He sends the other two a smile.

“I like the couch, you two can share the bed.” His smile is innocent but Remus knows something else is going on. He kicks off his shoes and hops on the bed, leaning his back against the headboard, texting Leo that he would be back to the room a bit late. He was sharing with Leo because he didn’t trust him not to get in trouble. The kid doesn’t know how to not be a complete tornado over half the time.

Sirius joins him on the bed, keeping a friendly distance between them. James was in charge of the remote having snatched it off the dresser that the tv was one and flipping through the channels until the loud intro of Ghost Adventures ruptures their eardrums. There was no reason for it to be so loud.

They watch as these bozos scream ghost at every little sound, Remus never believed in this type of thing but Sirius was looking quite shaken next to him. He smiles a little at how scared this 6’ man was at an obviously fake show. James passed out in a rather odd position on the couch about five minutes in, his arm was over his face and he had one leg over the back of the couch and the other was over the side with his foot on the ground. Remus nudges Sirius with his elbow.

“What?” Sirius looks at him, Remus grabs his chin and turns it towards James. Sirius is confused for a moment and then notices how his best friend is sleeping, pulling out his phone and snapping a picture. He sends it to Lily, they have always sent weird ways their Puerto Rican falls asleep in. He was so weird sometimes.

Remus takes his hand off Sirius' chin before he takes the picture, he didn’t mean to do such an intimate action but he also knows that James is a light sleeper so if he spoke too loud, he would have woken up. He hopes Sirius didn’t think it was too much.

Sirius has a weird feeling in his chest, like his heart was about to beat out of it. It also felt like he could still feel Remus’ rough fingers still on his chin, it was like his fingerprints were being burned into his skin. It made him anxious, jumpy even. He was already freaked out from all the shit going on in the show and now he felt on edge from these feelings dominating his brain.

After he sends the picture to Lily he places his phone on his lap and crosses his arms to try and hide his tapping fingers. Acting like he is focusing on the show again he is watching Remus in his peripherals, he was actually watching the show. Laughing every once in a while at something, probably another spine chilling voice over the weirdly loud box thing. Sirius’ eyes stay forward but the focus is now on Remus’ scar that’s a crescent shape, it basically cradles his eye from the end of his eyebrow to the top of his cheek. He still can’t believe that it came from a rock.

He also still can’t believe that Remus went to a boys school, he doesn’t seem like someone who would ever break the rules. He always thought Remus was just a hot head who was a strict rule follower. But tonight on the boxes he saw a different side. Remus was really nice and actually cared enough about Sirius to show him his little childhood hideout.

Maybe they were actually becoming friends.

Feathered Hotel Lounge, Hogwarts 2020

Clay was sitting at a booth table in the bar area with Finn beside him and Leo and Logan across from them. Leo had something to tell him and he was getting anxious, he thought that since Logan and Finn were there that he was going to tell him that it's happened. That Finn and Logan happened. He was drinking water tonight because he plays in the morning tomorrow, also he is rooming with Reg and doesn’t want to ruin the poor guy's sleep.

“So what did you want to tell me?” He looks at his brother, it seems Leo is about to explode from excitement or something. Finn has been in a terrible mood these last few months and it has ended up in their relationship being a bit rocky as of late. They decided to work on it after one particularly intense argument over something as small as what they should do for a date. They started spending more quality time together by doing a simple task. A puzzle, an all black puzzle, it was hard and Clay loved a challenge so he had the idea of doing the border of the puzzle last. It was set up on Finn’s coffee table so they would sit around it on the floor and just talk to each other.

Sometimes it's hard to get time to do this puzzle together but they decided that once a week they would work on it. This was also another way for them to be together that wasn’t just about sex, that has been what the relationship devolved into rather quickly at the end of June. It was October now and they were finally seeing the growth from all their non-sexual time spend together. Finn’s arm was resting behind him on the top of the booth seat, rubbing his thumb on his shoulder. It was soothing.

“Well, this has been going on since the last week of June.” Clay felt like a dog with the way his ears perked up. Leo noticed and paused what he was saying for a moment. “Logan and I are dating!” Clay watches his brother's face bloom into a bright shiny smile as Logan flung his arms around his neck and kissed Leo’s cheek. They both giggle something sappy and Clay felt the contagious happiness flow onto his side of the table making him smile as well.

“That's great! Who asked who?” He places his hand on Finn’s thigh after he feels the thumb running over his shoulder stop. Did it really bother him that much?

“I asked him just before we fell asleep together after the Pride game.” Logan was ogling Leo with his eyes, running a hand through his hair and plastering himself to Leo’s side. He wonders if Finn looks at him that way, he looks at his boyfriend and notices how tightly he’s holding his glass while staring at the couple across from them. He feels his phone go off and checks it. Reg wants him back to the room so he isn’t exhausted tomorrow.

“Reg is mothering me again, I should probably head up. Coming?” He starts sliding out of his seat looking over at Finn who hasn’t budged. He can feel his face dropping a bit and decides to smile at Leo and Logan. “I’ll catch up with you guys tomorrow.” Lovebirds gave him a thumbs up, he fully gets out of the booth and walks towards the elevator. Looking at his feet as he walks he runs directly into someone.

“Eyes up here Clay.” He looks up and realizes it’s Thomas. He sends him a small smile and pats his chest that's right in front of his face.

“Sorry, I was in my head.”

“You okay? You look sad.” Clay just nods and goes to walk past his friend but is stopped when he steps in his path again. Looking up at him confused he raises an eyebrow.

“What?”

“Clay, what's wrong?”

“It's nothing! Now I need to go up to my room before Reg-” His sentence is stopped short when he is pulled into a tight hug. He tries to get out of it for a second but gives up not having the motivation to get out of the vice grip around his shoulders.

“If you won’t tell me then I’ll just hug you. Hugs make everything better.” Clay sighs and lets his arms hang as Thomas gives him a couple of squeezes. It felt nice actually, Thomas was warm and really strong so it felt like a cushioned cement block was holding him.

“Are you and Noelle dating yet?” He mumbles into the firm shoulder his face was smashed against.

“Yeah, we went on a couple dates but became official last night after our game. She’s coming tomorrow to see us and Logan.” Clay just hums and takes a deep breath when Thomas finally pulls away.

“I don’t like hugs very much.”

“Well, get used to them. I hug all my friends.” Thomas ruffles his recently retwisted locs and walks past him to the lounge. Clay feels a bit lighter but his chest is still heavy. He decides to take the stairs up to his room. Giving himself more time to think. He felt sick.

Thomas walks into the lounge, there are many tables filled with a mixture of people from different teams. He wanted to go sit with someone from his own team but it appears most of those tables are full. Damn the Eagles being socal butterflies! He spots a booth with some of his friends and an empty seat so he makes a b-line towards it before anyone else decides to sit there.

“Sup guys!”

“Hey Talker!” Leo smiles at him as they fist bump over the table.

“So what's going on? Anything interesting?” Leo just shrugs, jostling Logan’s head on his shoulder. Thomas was so proud of his little Brother-in-law for going out and getting what he wants. “You two are so fucking cute, I’m glad you took advice for once.” He meets Logan’s eyes, the shorter man rolling them and flipping him off.

“Noellle said she is coming up tomorrow.”

“Oh yeah that reminds me! You owe Clay food.” Logan sits up straight in a split second and his eyes get big.

“No fucking way!” Logan slams his hand on the table with a completely shocked look on his face before he starts laughing. “When did this happen!?”

“We’ve been going on dates for a couple months, had our first kiss like three weeks ago after we lost against the Braves. She was wearing my jersey and everything.” Thomas sighs and the other three can basically see little heart shaped bubbles coming out of him. “We officially started dating last night.”

“Are you gonna tell us the story or not?” Finn looks at him, Thomas feels a bit shy which is not normal for him but he shrugs it off and nods. Thomas tells the story from the beginning of the night.

“I went to her performance last night, basically rushing out of the stadium to get there on time. I picked up a daisy from the outside of the stadium in those little flower pot things out front, you know the brick things.”

“The flower beds?” Finn snickers.

“Yeah! Those! Anyway, I got her a daisy because they only sell roses at the stage and she does really like roses. So I gave her that after her fucking amazing performance. She's just so beautiful” Thomas sighs again, resting his chin in his hands on the table looking quite red in the face. “After that she dragged me to this little hole in the wall tacos stand and ordered enough food to feed a small family. She can eat, and I love it.” He smiles remembering how beautiful Noelle looked in the glow of the streetlights as they sat outside at a small table barely big enough to hold all the food. Watching her stuff her face because she hadn’t eaten all day to make sure she looked presentable in her costume.

“She’s always been able to eat a lot, Mom would get so mad when she would keep asking for more food when we were younger.” Logan laughs a bit.

“It's amazing! She's amazing! We were just sitting there staring at each other like we have a tendency to do and she said ‘What?’ and I said ‘Nothing just looking.’ and she said ‘You’re so sappy.’ and I said ‘Yeah?’ she was like ‘Yeah.’ then we just kinda stared at each other again for a while.” The other three were all giving each other looks, one confused, one amused, and one flabbergasted.

“So when did you ask her?” Leo wraps his arm around Logan and sits back a bit in his seat to relax.

“She asked me. Said there was no way I can get out of it now. I wouldn’t want to get out of this even if my life depended on it. She’s definitely the one for me.” He smiles wide.

“I hope you know I won’t believe it until I see it.” Logan says, yawning and stretching in his seat.

“She's coming to the game tomorrow, us against the Badgers.” Thomas and Leo high five over the table, making Logan whine at being shaken about.

“Sorry, käraste.”

The next afternoon after the Eagles game that was lost 56-0, a weird game for sure. Clay stands between Logan and Finn as they witness the absolute monstrosity that is Noelle and Thomas baby-talking to each other.

“When are you free?” Logan leans over just a bit towards Clay as they continue to look forward at this sentimental molestation of their eyes. Clay leans towards him slightly as well.

“I won’t have any free time with school until December.”

“Then our date will be in the winter months.” Finn walks away and Clay thinks about going after him but ignores that feeling entirely. Finn avoids him so much recently that he’s started to think that Finn doesn’t even like him. It makes him annoyed so he’s gonna start ignoring Finn back.

“Sounds good to me, I’m gonna go get something to drink. Later.” He walks away, leaving his brother and Logan behind with confused looks on their faces. He didn’t care anymore.
