Chapter 23
"Here's King's Cross Station kids. Now come on, it's 10:45, the train leaves at 11 o'clock and we need to get you four settled in."
Five teens and one adult got out of the car to get their trunks. "FUUMA I CAN GET IT, MY ARM IS FINE NOW!"
"Well excuse me for trying to be a good boyfriend!"
"I appreciate it, really, but you need to carry your own."
"He's got a point Fuuma, I however, have yours Subaru, I don't have one to carry."
"Please don't remind me Sei-kun."
One hand was pulling Subaru's trunk, the other grabbed Subaru's hand. "You will be fine, before you know it, it will be summer."
"No Hokuto, I insist, after all your brother is getting married to my son."
"Ah thank you, I honestly don't know why it's so heavy. I do see where Sei-chan gets his gentleman side from though, his father!"
"Hokuto, please don't draw attention, there are Muggles nearby you know…"
Fuuma, Kamui, Hokuto, and Subaru's trunks were loaded onto the train.
"Well Dad, Seishirou, see you soon. Maybe you can make it to the Quidditch finale, if we make it to the finale."
"Behave yourself Fuuma; I don't need another owl about how a poor trash can was under your wrath." Fuuma smiled a cheeky grin at his father before putting his hand on Kamui's back guiding him to the train.
Hokuto waved a cheerful goodbye and was about to yell at her twin to move it when she saw where Subaru was. Kamui turned to do the same but Hokuto shushed him. "Leave them."
Subaru stood poking his fingers together looking up into amber eyes. Seishirou had his hands on Subaru's shoulders looking into emerald eyes.
"Subaru…you need to go soon, so if you have something to say, now would be a great time to say it."
The tears pricked at the corners of emerald eyes as he threw himself into the taller male.
"Oh Subaru..." The sunlight caught the delicate silver chain around Subaru's neck. A smirk occupied his lips. "Subaru, before you take off I have a present for you, seeing as you gave me this one on New Year's." His long finger twisted a chain around his neck that ended in a lock.
Subaru looked up as those long fingers unhooked the chain around Subaru's neck and added another charm to it before re-hooking it. Subaru was expecting a lock at first, but he looked down and saw a key. "A key Sei-kun?"
"Indeed, you're the only one with the key to my heart."
Subaru stretched up to kiss his fiancé. Arms wrapped around the younger teen's waist pulling him closer as they kissed. They broke away leaving Subaru breathless.
"Get going, I don't want you to throw away your education for me." Subaru pecked him on the lips one more time before taking off to join his siblings and Fuuma on the train, after he did patrol of course.
Both Seishirou and his father stayed put until the train was out of sight."Well come on Seishirou, the Ministry will be waiting for us and I don't think they'll believe the 'I'm late because after dropping off my son and his friends at Kings Cross Station, I had a hard time moving my lovesick stepson off the platform.' as an acceptable late excuse."

After his prefect patrol, Subaru flopped in their usual compartment. "I swear there are attacks on innocent people, and all everyone on the train is talking about is Touya and Yukito's wedding."
"Because everyone's a teenager, that's why. When you get married to Sei-chan it will be the same thing," Hokuto paused. "Speaking of which, you two sure said a lengthy goodbye."
At this Subaru turned red.
"Did he give it to you?" Fuuma looked up from his potions book (he was attempting to finish his holiday homework on the train).
"I-if you mean the charm, then yes, he did."
"OHH WHAT CHARM? LET ME SEE!" Hokuto leaned forward and lightly tugged on the chain on her twin's neck. "It's a key."
"Y—yes, it means I'm the only one with the key to his heart."
"Damnit! I should've thought of that; instead of getting half a snitch with your name and you getting the other half with mine!"
"No I like that, I told you, you're not your brother, if you were, you wouldn't be with me."
The sky was getting dark, they would be arriving soon and ready to start another term and for some of their friends, their last.
