Strength Within
A summer Hogsmeade weekend was the perfect opportunity for a bit of privacy; the older students were in the village and the younger ones were enjoying the blazing sun. It just so happened to be that privacy was exactly what two Gryffindor students needed, and lots of it. Under the red and gold laid brown and white, intertwined as closely as the stitching on the drapes secluding them away from the world they both barely realise is there, such is their bliss. Dean and Seamus. Seamus and Dean. Ying and Yang. When apart so different, yet so alike. However when united they form one, perfectly complimenting one another.
Dean ran his hand gently down Seamus' chest, tangling his fingers in the tight curls upon it holding him to the other boy. "Don't leave me."
"I won't...ever. You give me strength," Replied Seamus as he stroked his lover's cheek. He paused as he reached Deans lips, then slowly replaced his fingers with his mouth. He kissed him more passionately than ever before, trying to convey his love through that one motion, pouring as much of himself into the kiss as possible. He needed to tell Dean that his love was more than words, it had changed him. It had given him the courage to reciprocate something he never thought he could: the love of a man. "I love you."
