"Come on Lena!" Harry called into the bathroom. He was excited to be in America with his sister. She finally talked him into visiting with her. Now with the war over he had no reason to say no.
"Alright! Hold your tits." Lena grumbled. Harry huffed at her. She was able to tame her hair and curl it this time. Whenever she uses magic on it, it goes haywire - much like Harry's currently. Lena paused and tried to flatten Harry's raven hair.
"Helena Jade!" Harry hissed pulling away from the woman. He loved his sister more than life but she can be a bit embarrassing. Harry and Lena saved the wizarding world. That much was true to every wizard and witch they came in contact with. The orphaned twins with matching scars and enough baggage to fill a railway train.
"You told me to come get you when the taxi showed up." Harry said. He grabbed his jacket. Florida in spring can be a tad chilly at night and they were going clubbing. Harry couldn't fault his sister for wanting to live a little especially when the thought of death was ever present in their lives. -Used to be. He would have to get used to that. It was hard to imagine walking around without having to look over your shoulder.
Lena grabbed her jacket to go with her short black dress. Her hair was pinned back from her face. She hated for her hair to be in her face. She settled for flat dress shoes because she didn't want to be taller than her brother. It was the one thing that made them different. Harry was an inch taller than her. He used to use it to mock her. That was until she put him in a headlock and hit him with a bat bogey hex.
She watched Harry hold the door open for her. He was so charming but shy. She wanted him to find a good person to love and take care of him. After all she didn't know how he would take the news that she was moving to America and becoming a healer. Harry was still very much in love with England. He wanted to help rebuild Hogwarts. She never wanted to go back. Thankfully the Ministry of Magic offered express N.E.W.T.S for students who were supposed to attend seventh year but couldn't because of "unforeseen circumstances."
She didn't feel attached to anyone like he did. The one person she was attached to died during the war. It was his prompting that lead her to want to be a healer. He said she held a level of compassion and empathy for people that no one else did. Lena missed Severus. She loved him. She never got to tell him how much.
"You're drifting again." Harry said. Lena smiled at her brother. The street lights and nearby businesses casting shadows over their faces.
"You know me. Always in my head." She turned to look back outside and watch the street signs pass by.
Harry didn't understand the loss Lena felt. He gripped her hand giving it a comforting squeeze. He never knew the secret relationship between her and Severus. First he was angry for being kept in the dark but then he was mostly sad because he knew Lena wouldn't feel the same again. Maybe she would? Minerva told her that she was young and that love can pop up unexpectedly. After all that's what happened between Lena and Severus. When Harry got a good look at his sister he saw her green eyes shining bright as they pulled up to the club. If nothing else Harry would help her forget for a night.
"You do realize I'm getting married this weekend and you're big idea is to take me clubbin'." Rick said as he took the drink that Shane was waving around in front of him. Shane was lucky he loved him like a brother and that they have known each other since before high school.
"Relax. This is a way to destress. Have fun. After this weekend you'll never have fun again." Shane said with a grin. Rick shook his head. His best friend was a child.
"How do you know? You haven't settled down more then spending two nights with the same girl in the last three years and I think that's because you were too hungover to get up that day!" Rick laughed and patted Shane on the back.
"Hey! You're the one that is supposed to get roasted." Shane finished his drink. He was ready for another. Rick wasn't much of a drinker but with his nerves and Lori wanting to have the wedding in the Florida keys which took a lot of planning and money he was willing to make the sacrifice. Rick took in the crowd around him. People were sweating and pushing together to various beats of the music.
This really wasn't his scene. It was more of Shane's scene that he got drug along for the ride. The next thing Rick knows is Shane let's out a whoop whoop and heads into the crowd to dance. Rick shook his head. This was ridiculous now. Maybe he could leave sneak away while Shane is trying to get in some chick's pants.
"Uh I'd like sex on the beach." A raven haired green eyed man said next to where Rick was sitting at the bar.
"Wouldn't we all?" The bartender said making the raven haired man blush. Rick noticed that the man had an accent. Then Rick wondered if the man was here with anyone. He shook his head. He couldn't think those things. He was getting married.
The raven haired man turned towards Rick and smiled. Rick felt his heartbeat speed up. This man had the most beautiful green eyes and gorgeous face. His pouty pink lips begging to be kissed. Rick couldn't help but smile back. Then a woman came from around him and joined the man at the bar. Rick felt stupid. The man was smiling at that beautiful woman. They looked like two angelic beings completely out of place. The woman whispered in the man's ear which made him laugh. It was a melodious sound that Rick wanted to hear again.
Rick looked down and realized his drink was now gone. He let out a sigh. He thought about another drink and then decided to just order one for that man too since he was very nice to look at. He felt like being charitable. After all this was why Shane brought him. To have fun, loosen up and sow his oats before walking down the aisle on Saturday. Shane was the only one that knew Rick had a variety of tastes. Shane however was strictly here for the women. Rick hasn't found many men attractive especially lately nor has he looked because of his guilt wracked brain. But there is nothing wrong with looking besides there was something about that man. Rick looked up only to find the raven haired man and woman gone. Rick stood up to leave but not before the bartender put a drink in front of him.
"Compliments of the gentleman over there." The bartender smiled and pointed at the raven haired man.
Rick couldn't believe his luck. He smiled at the bottle feeling ridiculous. He should go introduce himself. After all he may never have another opportunity. He picked up his drink and walked over to the corner where the man was sitting. There was a seating area away from the dancing for people who wanted to talk. "Thanks for the drink. My name is Rick." Rick smiled and held out his hand.
"The name is Harry." Harry took the man's hand and shook it. He was very warm to the touch. Harry felt a shiver run down his spine. If only to have those hands everywhere, he though. Harry was already feeling the effects of the first drink his sister gave him. Lena was out on the dance floor probably squished between two men at least. He smiled, he will never be as daring as his sister. However he has never bought a drink for a random stranger. There something about those eyes though. Harry wanted to talk to him. He sipped his drink while the base of the music thudded through the building.
"You here alone?" Harry asked once the awkward silence became too much. Rick was trying hard not to stare at him but was failing.
"No my best friend. Dancing out there." Rick waved off to the crowd of people pushing against each other. Harry smiled at him. A sense of comradery while their respective partners are out being loose limbed and rubbing off on other people.
"You saw my sister earlier." Harry said. Ricks eyes widened. "She is the one that talked me into coming."
Rick smiled into his bottle. "So it's her I have to thank for meeting you?" He was laying on the charm without really trying.
Harry laughed. "You know at first I was regretting that tonight might have been a horrible decision. But now I'm rethinking it." Harry grinned at Rick. His eyes alight with something that both excited and frightened Rick.
A few drinks later and a stumble to Rick's hotel room which happened to be just down the street. They didn't want to have to walk far because Shane planned on them getting wasted that night.
Rick couldn't believe he landed this beautiful man in his arms tonight. He never expected to get lucky nor did he really want to but he thought about Shane's advice. One last hoorah before settling down for good.
Now Harry had his legs wrapped around Rick's waist while they kissed sloppily. Rick wanted to wish his jeans away. He was dying to feel Harry's skin against his. Rick's cock was throbbing in his jeans. He felt like he might come just from the sounds Harry is making. It has been a few years since he took a man to bed after all.
Harry dropped to his knees in front of Rick. The man groaned at the sight and ran his fingers through Harry's hair. Harry hasn't ever had sex with a man before. He didn't want his nerves to show through. He has read plenty of books and even seen porn to inspire his fantasies but nothing prepared him for the sweet charming blue eyed stranger he was kneeling before. Harry wanted to taste him.
Rick stood with his back against the door. Harry had his mouth on Rick's cock. It was the sexiest thing Rick had ever seen. Harry hummed lightly every time he took Rick into his mouth. Rick knew he was going to come. He warned Harry before but the smaller man kept sucking.
Harry wiped his mouth clean as Rick pulled him up to standing. His mouth was assaulted with a hard quick kiss. Then Rick took off Harry's shirt and before Harry could think to remove Rick's, Harry was being lifted and sat on the bed.
"Let me help." Rick quickly grabbed Harry's black slacks and gave them a quick tug. Seeing Harry naked on his bed made his cock fill again and he was ready for round two. Rick licked at Harry's nipples and bit them playfully. He worried the one gently between his teeth and then sucked hard at the other. Harry arched his back up and pressed flush against the older man. Fuck, Harry felt incredible under him.
"Rick." Harry breathlessly whispered when Rick slipped a finger inside him. Rick was nowhere near a practiced gay man, Harry thought but he took his time opening Harry up. Finally after writhing and squirming under Rick, Harry felt the blunt tip of something poking him. Rick was ready to push in. There was a hungry look in Rick's eyes that made Harry push hard against him.
"God." Rick moaned. It wasn't long before he bottomed out in the gorgeous ass of the man he met earlier. The gorgeous creature who for whatever reason picked him. Rick let Harry adjust to his size. It wasn't long before Harry gave an experimental hip thrust that elicited a moan from both of them.
"Fuck me." Harry groaned. His body flush and a sheen of sweat covering him. Rick gripped his hips tight enough to leave marks which would mean he would have bruises later. He never expected to have such an erotic experience with a stranger. Rick picked up the pace. Soon the sound of skin against skin with grunts and mewls of pleasure were the only sounds to be heard in the room.
Rick adjusted Harry's legs so they rested on his shoulders. This position gave Rick direct access to Harry's prostate. Harry practically screamed in pleasure. Rick kissed Harry's calf. Rick slide his hand down Harry's thigh and gave his erection a tug causing Harry to spill all over his stomach. Feeling Harry squeeze him and watching the small man come with euphoric bliss on his face pushed Rick over the edge.
"I'm coming Harry." Rick moaned.
"Yes come for me Rick." Harry said barely above a whisper. Rick emptied himself inside of the condom inside of Harry. When he pulled out of Harry he noticed the condom wasn't that full. He shrugged. Maybe he didn't come as much as he thought. He brought Harry a towel to clean up.
"I should go." Harry said.
"Stay. Then leave in the morning. My best friend has his own room." Harry nodded. Rick climbed into bed with him and wrapped his arm around the man.
"Plus we could always have another round in the morning." Rick said with a grin. Harry lit up. He liked that idea very much.
Rick woke up after him and Harry spent half the night bringing each other pleasure. He was alone. That thought really shouldn't surprise him. Harry was a one night stand and this was nothing. He was still getting married to Lori in a few days.
There was a note next to the phone by the bed.
"Thank you for a wonderful night. I'll never forget it.
Harry"
"I'll never forget it either." Rick thought to himself. He had to shower and then meet Lori and her parents for brunch. Time to get on with life.
"Have fun?" Lena asked when Harry apparated back to their hotel room the next day. He blushed brightly instead of answering. Lena laughed and forced him towards the bathroom. "Shower." She growled playfully.
"How was your night?" Harry asked from the shower. Lena let out a sigh.
"It was alright. I met someone too. He was different. He put on this act of being an asshole but of course I can see through that. He gave me his number once I told him I don't need anymore assholes in my life. I figured that would have sent him away but instead he danced the night away with me." Lena said with a smile.
"Do you plan to call him?"
"No. Of course not!" Lena said. Harry laughed. His sister was an ass too. But she needed to move on. It was time for them to get on with their lives. They survived a war for Merlin's sake.
That night after Lena told Harry about her plans for being a healer he thought about what he wanted to do with his life. Times have changed now and he needed to change too. He felt better than he has in years and now, now he was ready to move on from the past.
He would always remember Rick and how he took his time with him. Rick didn't realize it but he helped Harry towards the better. Harry know felt comfortable with a part of himself he never had a chance to explore. He wondered what other parts of himself were left to be uncovered.
12 years later.
Harry was looking down the barrel of a gun that belonged to a man he never thought he would see ever again in his life. Rick was pointing a gun at him simply because he was afraid for his and his people's lives.
"Harry?" Rick said his name. He remembered him. Rick lowered his gun. Harry felt a small piece of happiness bubble up inside of him. But it was short lived. A gun went off and suddenly Beth was dead. Then a man from Rick's group shot Officer Dawn. He can't say he blames them. They held his son hostage to make sure him and his sister helped them.
It was a half hour later when Rick and Carol returned to the hospital. Harry was having his son and Lena pack provisions. They were getting out of here.
"I'm sorry about Beth. I treated her when they brought her in." Harry said.
"You look like you're going somewhere." Rick said. Harry huffed a laugh when he put the backpack on. Rick also noticed the two people in the room.
"We're not staying here. Dawn was a real piece of work. She kept my son locked up. If we didn't help her she would starve him. It was awful." Harry had to hold back his emotions.
"You can join us." Rick said. Carol raised an eyebrow at him. Harry stared at the man for a moment. 12 years later he still looked like the same man who took him to bed that night. Harry looked at his son. Rick couldn't know. He would think Harry was a freak. A group was better. They would have a better chance.
Harry nodded. "We will."
"Questions?" Carol said to Rick waiting for him to ask them what he needed too. It's what they did. Rick shook his head no. Carol stopped him. "We need to ask."
"I know him. Knew him." Rick clarified. Carol nodded.
"Alright." But Carol didn't like not asking.
"Is that him? Dad?" Jamie asked his father. Harry wiped his eyes. "That's him." Harry said. Lena shook her head. She never understood why Harry didn't tell Rick about James. It was many years ago but obviously he remembered Harry despite the time gap. Lena smiled at Jamie, at least now he has both of his dads with him. Even if Rick didn't know Jamie was his.
