Disclaimer: Not mine but if I did Cara would make an appearance lol.
Thanks to all my reviewers.
HGFMGDBVC: Thanks, that was short and sweet, it brought a smile to my face (Grin)
KatFay: I know, don't you just love him? He's been living in my head for a while so I thought he should make himself known.
MessrMarauder: Hey hey buddy. I love giving Cara a voice right now, he is so gorgeous.
~*~ Chapter 6 – Growing the Confidence
Harry had given Cara his photo album to flick through as he showered. Cara would grin, as a younger version of the Trio would wave at them before photo Ron and Harry would start wrestling.
He looked sadly at a picture of a young James and Lily Potter holding up a laughing baby Harry, his heart going out to the boy he'd come to hold dear. He'd feel a little jolt of sympathy go through him as he'd see Harry's laughing Godfather behind his happy parents on their wedding day.
He heard the bathroom door open and he looked up before his eyes widened comically. Harry had come out topless, his loose slacks clinging to his hips as he scrubbed his hair dry with a red towel.
"You alright Cara?" He heard as though it was from a difference and the blonde shook his head to clear it.
"Yeah, Um...just...Where's your shirt?" He said in what he hoped was a casual shirt. Harry grinned and pointed to a space next to him. He looked down where Harry's shirt lay.
"O-oh." He said, picking up the shirt then handed it to Harry. Their fingers brushed against one another's and whilst Cara still blushed he found himself thinking about Hermione's words to him a few days ago. Pulling up all the courage he could muster he breathed in then exhaled to calm himself.
"Harry?" He said looking up at the other young man for a moment before patting the space next to him. Harry took the other and settled next to him, Cara turning to face him which made their knees brush lightly.
"Harry...D-do you, possibly...Um," He frowned at his own incoherent speech so he shook his head once more to clear it, "Are you only attracted to women?"
Harry's eyebrows shot up and he turned away slightly with a frown, considering the words. "I...well I've had girlfriends but they've always turned out to be nothing serious...Why are you asking?" He said as he turned back to the blonde and he cocked his head as Cara was doing something he'd never done before...He was looking him straight in the eye, unwavering with no blush upon his cheeks.
"Is there a chance...you may like...other males?" He whispered and Harry began to fidget as the amber gaze warmed his skin.
"Well, there is that...well I suppose I...Um..." He stammered but stopped when he felt a hand come to rest upon his heated cheek, causing him to turn and face Cara's slightly smiling face.
"Is there a chance you m-may like...me?" He said, a little stronger then before and Harry locked eyes with him.
"...I'd say there is a rather big chance that it is possible." He whispered. The two stared at one another, Cara fighting to keep the smile waiting to burst onto his face back which caused Harry to start fighting one of his own.
Suddenly Cara leant forward and embraced the black-haired boy tightly, the other returning it as they both fell sideways so that they lay on their sides on the bed.
"Oh thank Merlin, I-I though I was, well I figured that...Should this be a romantic m-moment?"
"Ditto." Harry whispered back as he tucked a stray piece of blonde hair behind Cara's ear. He shuffled forwards slightly so that their noses now brushed lightly at the tips and they were led close together.
"I was shocked when I had started feeling these strange things around you, I've never been attracted to males before." He said as Cara played with the tips of his bangs resting upon his cheek.
"Hermione said something l-like, you fall in love with whoever you please, that y-you have no boundaries...or something to that effect."
Harry sat up suddenly as he laughed. "Oh it makes sense now. They kept grinning at one another and then they asked about if you had a girlfriend." He shook his head amused as he leant back to the other man, braced on his forearms above him as he smiled down at him.
Cara smiled up at him as he stroked a tanned cheek, running his thumb in slow circles over it. He suddenly seemed a little nervous.
"I've um...I've never k-kissed anyone before." He whispered sounding a little ashamed, which caused Harry to place a small kiss on his cheek.
"That isn't a bad thing Cara. In fact, I fell honoured you'd want to share it with me." He smiled reassuringly which Cara found contagious as he placed his hands to rest gently on either side of the finely sculptured face. He pulled him down slowly and stopped when there was only a hair's breath between their lips.
He seemed too nervous to continue so Harry took the initiative and pressed his lips lightly against Cara's. He swallowed a small gasp from the other young man and moved his lips lightly that caused a feeling of small pleasurable prickles to run through their lips.
He shifted to lay half over Cara and smiled as he felt him grow more confidence, moving against his own until he felt the mouth below his open slightly, granting entrance.
He dipped his tongue in hesitantly, not wanting to startle the blonde but it meet with another, slowly duelling as they played a lazy footsie with their feet.
With a happy jolt he remembered his case of undress as timid hands ran up his bare sides, resting occasionally at the small of his back and kneading softly at his shoulder blades.
They pulled back with a slick sound and smiled at one another.
"I can s-see why people enjoy doing that." The blonde mumbled through his happy smile and Harry chuckled lightly.
"And you say you've never done that before?" He teased lightly before placing a chaste kiss on Cara's pink ones. Cara gave a little laugh and shook his head.
"Not everyday you meet someone willing to h-have a relationship with a werewolf." He said lightly as he sub-counciously continued to run small circles over Harry's back.
"Well then they're fools aren't they." The other replied as he leant down for another kiss, Cara instantly granting entrance this time as they continued to explore this new step in their relationship.
"So would it be out of place to ask if you'd be my boyfriend?" Harry smirked as they pulled back and Cara pretended to think for a moment.
"I can't say I see a problem with it." He replied with a small smirk before the two returned to their affections.
~*~
"...I'd like to have you all working in groups of four for this project as I have found in the past it helps create a sense of teamwork..."
Professor Mirna continued to talk at the front of the small theatre but Harry and Cara barely paid attention. They were facing forwards, taking brief notes and such but carefully concealed under their desks they lovingly slid a foot over one another's. Cara would risk a glance over every now and again only to be caught by Harry as he smiled back.
"No no, Harry don't get up, it's only me, the school hood friend you can barely hear right now."
Harry whipped his head forward, his jaw dropping only to be replaced by a grin.
"Susan? Susan Bones? Oh my god, hi." He said excitedly, smiling at Cara as he stood and hugged the ex-member of the DA.
"How long have you been in this class?" He asked. He couldn't recall hearing her name before.
"Oh the university got all mixed up and originally had me in the wrong class. But HI, I'm here now." She grinned then looked at Cara, who looked a little nervous as he gazed at his clasped hands in his lap.
"And who are you sweetie?" She asked kindly which made Cara look up and look between the two old friends.
"Um, I-I'm Cara Faolan...um, Harry's...Harry's friend." He said quietly. He looked up when he felt gentle fingers toy with the tips of his hair and he leant into Harry's hand.
"He means my boyfriend." Harry said wistfully and then turned to Susan who looked shocked momentarily then grinned widely.
"Oh my god, Harry! I'm so happy for you." She hugged him causing her to laugh, then he suddenly hugged Cara who seemed a little startled but then relaxed a little.
"Well I had come over to see if you wanted to work with me and my friend for the foursome." Susan smirked.
"Sure, Cara is that ok? You don't mind do you?" Harry asked softly and Cara nodded with a small smile.
"Your nice." He said quietly and Susan smiled while she laughed.
"And so are you." She said kindly.
