Pairing: Penpal!AU. AlbusGellert

Albus smiled as he read the familiar scrawl.

Hey Al,

My dad has to come to your part of London for a business trip. He asked me if I wanted to accompany him. I think he's still trying to get me interested in the family business. If I say yes and feign interest for a little bit, we can finally meet face-to-face.

You interested?

Gellert

Albus didn't hesitate. He got a piece of paper and quickly scribbled his reply.

Gellert,

You bet. Tell me when you have the details.

Albus

He put it in the mailbox. Now it was just a matter of waiting.

As soon as Albus saw the blond-haired man, his heart fluttered.

Gellert smiled. "Albus, it's so nice to finally meet you in person."

Albus licked his bottom lip. "Same. Here." He had been hiding something behind his back, and now he brought it out with a flourish. "I remember you saying how much you love chocolate caramels."

"Thanks, Al, but you didn't have to. After all, I didn't get you anything."

"I wanted to. It's a "Great to meet you' present."

"Now I wish I got you something."

Albus waved it away. "Meeting you Is more than enough."

"Your brother is glaring at me again."

"Don't worry about it. Aberforth is always angry. About everything."

"Still, he doesn't seem to like me."

"What he doesn't like is the fact I'm gay, and he thinks I'm way too close to you."

"I don't think you're too close. In fact, I want you to be closer."

Albus' eyes twinkled. "Good. We're on the same page."

Gellert's lips pressed against his in a hard kiss. "You taste so good," he groaned.

"So good," Albus murmured, tangling his fingers in silky, soft, blond hair.

Lips moved to Albus' neck, nipping slightly.

Albus arched, pressing himself against Gellert's lean body. "Don't stop!" he pled.

"Never," Gellert vowed.

"You're disgusting!" a new voice snarled. Both boys jumped away and stared with wide eyes at Aberforth, who wore his usual look of constipation. "Both of you are disgusting!" he repeated angrily.

"He's making me choose between him and you."

Gellert shook his head. "And you're choosing him," he said sadly.

Albus grabbed Gellert's hand. "You're mistaken. I choose you. choose you over everyone."

"Even over your family?"

Albus kissed Gellert. "I know we've only been pen pals until recently, but this feels real. It feels special, and I want to explore it."

"That's a lot of pressure on me."

Albus kissed him again, and Gellert returned it. Pressure or no pressure, he wasn't going to say no.
