Sony Boy – Grimm: partners, not alone
"Nick! You need to stop this! You don't understand what that woman, that Musai has done to you." Harry Potter, one of the newest members of the Portland Police Department dove for his partner's gun. Attempting to wrestle it from the taller man's hands even as Nick never took his eyes off the man in the cell. "This will destroy everything you've become! You're not alone in this, I can help you!"
"Get away from me," Nick shoved at the other male, barely even noticing as Harry slammed against the brick wall behind him only to slowly stand once more, one hand holding his hip as the other went to the wand hidden in his arm holster.
"Please Nick, don't make me do something I'll regret." Harry's hand trembled as he watched Nick raise his gun once more. He knew his lover was far from his reach, a simple stupefy would do the trick...
"Nick stop! I can't protect you from this." Captain Renard yelled as he slammed open the door to the cell block, gun drawn and being closely followed by Nick's former(current?) girlfriend Juliette, the blutbad Monroe, and Rosalie.
"Nick, please listen. Juliette is here..."
Harry couldn't help but wince, the subject of Juliette had been a tender one. Nick still loved her, had been in love for her for years. Nick had said his love for her had changed, that it was Harry he wanted. No one else knew that though. Nick was still desperate to rescue the woman that he had once planned to marry, and those who thought they knew the situation believed it to be since he was still madly in love with her.
He had been there since the beginning, well close enough to the beginning that he caught up with things rather quickly. It had taken a long time for those at the precinct to adjust to his presence; Detective Hank Griffin's death had been sudden and painful for those who knew him, and especially tormented his former partner (who was now Harry's partner), Nick Burkhardt. Nick had balked at the idea of having a new partner, it had only been with the insistence of Captain Renard the man grudgingly accepted British-born male. An acceptance that came even further when he learned the man's history.
Harry was still embarrassed, remembering how easily he had been captured by the heads of the Portland Lowen Games. He had been desperate to show his worth to the Grimm; the man who was his partner and who we was becoming quickly infatuated with. He had shown the Bookie his true face when Nick had been observing the bar. A Zauberer was rare, especially so in the States; a perfect specimen to be forced to fight to the death. When Nick had found him bloody, standing over a fallen lowen in the middle of the ring in full woge form.
Things progressed quickly from there, the two became inseparable much to Juliette's amusement and Monroe's frustration. Nick now had a partner that he could interact on a normal level as well as a Grimm. It was the perfect situation for their attraction to grow, causing a tension that would reach it's peak within a week of Juliette waking from her coma caused by the Hexenbiest Adeline. He had punched Nick after their first kiss, in his defense he had been surprised when he had been shoved against the wall by the taller man, and he couldn't bear thinking this was some form of revenge after learning about the affair between Juliette and Captain Renard.
"...Please just look at me," Juliette's voice grew tight as she fought back a sob, bringing Harry back to the present as he watched the stand off with Nick once more. "Nick, look at me."
"Nick, listen to her. Please." Harry called quietly, raising his wand once more, hoping he would be fast enough to cast off a stupify before the man he loved could shoot his 'rival' in the Musai's curse.
"H-Harry..." Nick clutched at his head, dropping his gun that amazingly didn't go off once it hit the ground.
"Nick, look at me. You need to open your eyes. Let me see them." Juliette grasped at Nick's face, trying to turn him towards her before he pulled out of her reach, turning his head to the male still leaning against the wall.
"Harry. What are you doing here?" Nick looked around confused, seeing his friends standing there watching in confusion even as he made his way to his partner; wrapping an arm carefully around his waist to support him.
"Making sure you're not doing something stupid, as usual." Harry's chuckle was wet, his voice tight as he looked up and met the man's hazel eyes.
"Sounds about right." Nick looked at his friends in confusion once more, before shrugging as he pressed a kiss to the man's temple. "Thank you."

OPINION TIME: I'm still trying to get myself back into the HP/OHSHC crossover world, and I have a very intriguing idea and what to know if people are interested. It is an HP/Ouran crossover with a bit of a Chobits twist. It's a Kyouya/Harry pairing with Harry being a persocom that had been gifted to Kyouya by the Host Club. Give it to his "friends" to give their most anti-social member a persocom, let alone one that's MALE.
