"Steve, can I ask you something?"
"Mmh? Oh, yes, of course"
"Do you have a thing for Bucky?"
More silence.
"…What?"
Steve stopped reading and stared in disbelief at his lover who was calmly rubbing his large belly.
"Harry"—Steve put away his book—"Why are you asking this?"
Harry bit his lips and looked away.
"It's…It's just the way you look at him"Harry paused then looked at him"It's almost the same way you look at me"
"Harry, I love you"Steve stood up from the couch and gathered the wizard in his arms"I'm with you and I want to stay with yo-"
"Steve, I love you but that didn't stop me from cheating on you with Johann when we were actually going out at first"cut calmly Harry.
Steve frowned confusedly.
"What are you implying?"
Harry inhaled then exhaled sharply, stepping back slightly.
"If you want to, I wouldn't mind if you were to sleep with Bucky"—Steve gaped at him—"Whether it's for a one-night stand or for more"
"Harry, wait, wait"Steve collected Harry in his arms before he ran a hand in the smaller man's hair"Why would you say this? I love you, I don't hate Schmidt that much now but just because you think there's something between me and Buck, doesn't mean I want to sleep with him, we're still a couple"
Harry nuzzled slightly against Steve's chest before he got out of the embrace and stared up at the blond.
"Steve, we're not like any couple so if you want to sleep with him, go ahead, I won't even mind"said Harry as he turned around and started waddling out of the room"After all, it's not like the three of us are married"
Steve watched him go, a slight pang in his chest.
—
"Keep on frowning like that and not even the serum will heal your wrinkles"
Steve started slightly from his daydream and eyed Johann as he entered their bedroom, a whimpering twin in each arms. Steve stood up from the bed and took one of the twins in his arms before shushing him slightly and bouncing him in his arms.
"What has got you to think so deeply?"asked Johann.
"Nothing, really"Ezekiel smiled at him and his hand went to grab Steve's moving lips and Steve, jokingly, took the hand gently between in teeth, making Ezekiel squeal.
Johann cleared his throat to have the blond's attention so that he could give him a raised eyebrow.
"You sure about that, Kapitäin?"
Johann saw Steve—after he let go of Zeke's hand— bit his lips and look away.
"What do you think of marriage?"asked Steve.
Johann's back straightened and he tensed.
"…Are you proposing to me?-"asked Johann
"What? No, no, not at all-"cut Steve, a blush colouring his cheek.
"-Because that a sh-"—Johann cleared his throat to cut himself from cursing—"-You can do a better proposal speech"
Steve groaned and Johann smirked at the deep red tint on the blond's cheeks.
"I'm not proposing to you, I just want your opinion on the matter"
Johann shrugged.
"For me, a marriage is almost like children in a couple, a catalyst, either in a good or bad way"replied Johann"Either it strengthen a good relationship or it breaks it"
"Seems like you have some kind of history"remarked slowly the American and Johann nodded.
"They say marriage is supposed to bind two people in love forever, lies if you want my opinion"growled Johann"My parents were married and that didn't stop my father from beating my mother or trying to drown me when she died in childbirth and he blamed me for taking away his favourite punching bag"
Steve winced slightly, realising that his enemy may have had a worse childhood than he did.
"Why bring up the matter?"asked Johann, shifting a fussy Castiel in his arms.
Steve sighed before he told Johann what happened with Harry months ago.
"And again, why bring up the matter?"
Steve gave a long look at the elder man.
"…I want to marry him"said the blond"I want us three to be married"
Johann nodded in understanding before he stilled when the words dawned on him.
"…Come again?"
Steve rolled his eyes.
"You heard me, Schmidt"drawled the blond.
Johann was about to answer when JARVIS interrupted him.
"Sirs, Harry is saying dinner is ready"piped JARVIS.
Johann inhaled and shifted a crying Castiel in his arms.
"We'll talk about this when we have feed the little Dämonen and Harry's sleeping, jawohl?"
Steve nodded and stood up from the bed, shifting a whining Ezekiel in his arms before he followed Schmidt into the elevator.
—
Both super soldiers waited until they heard the soft, even breathes of their lover before leaving their bed and going down to an empty floor.
"So, let me summarise"said Johann, after they were in the room, while massaging his nose"You want the three of us, like you, me and him, to get married, right?"
Steve nodded.
"More than a hundred years old and no Alzheimer, cookie for you"replied Steve
"Real funny, Rogers"drawled the German before they fell silent"…I hope you understand what it entails…"
Steve nodded again.
"I do"
Johann rolled his eyes at his choice of words.
"…You also understand that there's nothing and, more importantly, nobody that would marry three men together"added Johann.
Steve nodded again, slower this time.
"I know"replied the blond"I also know that I won't look at…the Muggle side"
Johann straightened up and stared at the blue-eyed blond.
"…Are you actually considering using Magical means?"
Steve shrugged.
"There has to been something"said the American man"I mean, wizards can get pregnant-"
"Only the strongest"piped Johann
"-So, maybe…"
"There's just one flaw"
"Mmh?"
"Harry and his friends are the only magical being we know of"said the sapphire-eyed man"If we ask Hermione or Weasley to help us find something, they'll put two and two together then tell their family of the good news then, maybe, spill the beans to Harry! If you wanted to surprise him with a marriage proposal…"
"…I'll find something"replied Steve, a hint of anger in his voice"…I'll go to any occult looking shops, I'll go to Horizon Alley to try and find something, anything"
Johann stayed silent as he stared lengthily and strongly at the blond.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why do you want to marry Harry?"asked Johann.
Steve eyed weirdly the man before him.
"Isn't that what normal couples do?"
"Rogers, we're not in the 1900s anymore, people have another view on marriage…And we're anything but normal"drawled Johann"I'm a villain, you're an Avengers, therefor my enemy, and yet, we're both banging"—Steve blushed slightly—"and helping him raise our children"
"Cut the crap and get to the point, Schmidt"drawled Steve.
"Do you really intend to marry Harry just by principle rather than love?"asked seriously Johann, giving a look at the blond"Because if you do, I won't let you and I'll even tell Harry, he deserves way more than that…And you know it"Johann turned around and went to the lift"I'm going back to bed"
Steve watched the other man leave.
"I thought you didn't believe in marriage by love"drawled Steve as the doors opened and Johann stepped in.
"I thought I wasn't gay or that I wouldn't have a family and here I am"replied Johann as the doors closed"Think about what I said"
Steve watched as the doors closed before staring at the wall in front of him, his mind thinking fast. He pretty much didn't sleep that night but as he joined the others for breakfast at the Penthouse, he whispered something into Johann's ears when Harry's back was turned.
"I want to marry him because I love him"
Johann stilled, blinked then nodded before going back to his coffee.
—
When Steve asked Harry how to go to Horizon Alley, he didn't expect the wizard to tell him he couldn't.
"Why?"
"You're a Muggle"replied Harry, his eyes riveted on his cake"I already broke many rules by telling you I was a wizard and I can't break more, even if we are dating…If you really want to go, I'll have to ask for a slip from the American Ministry…And then again, it can take months or even years to have this kind of slip"
"What can I do then?"
"Nothing"
Steve groaned.
"You told me that Muggle parents can be with their children in Diagon Alley, why couldn't I?"
"Well, first, the parents MUST accompany their children and second, their children is of magical descent so of course they can have access to Diagon"
"What about muggle and magical parents?"
"The muggle parent can accompany their partner and children to Diagon but the two parents must be together"
"We're together"
Harry rolled his eyes.
"Together as in married"
'That's why I want to go! So that we can find a way to be married to you and Schmidt!'screamed internally Steve while he groaned.
Harry stopped trying to put an icing on his cake and eyed his blond lover.
"Why do you want to go to Horizon Alley?"
"It's nothing"replied the blond.
"Look Steve, if you tell me what you want, I can go and get it"
"It's nothing really!"
Harry tilted his head on one side.
"It doesn't bother me, rea-"
Steve cut the smaller wizard by kissing him and he sensed the wizard turn to jelly in his arms. Steve released Harry before putting his forehead on the raven-haired's.
"It's okay, I'll think of something else"
Steve kissed the wizard's forehead before he left the premise and went out.
—
For weeks he did nothing but go to muggle occult shop to muggle occult shop. He had asked any vendors if they had anything concerning marriages and all of them suggested 'spells' to break up a rival's marriage and have the woman marry him instead or a love potion—'Drug' his mind suggested— to slip in his crush's drink and he even had someone suggest a 'powerful' fertility spell for him and his betrothed.
'On that point, we definitely don't need any help'
He did all of the shops in New York and none of them had anything. Steve groaned, burrowing his head in his pillow, on his bed, and tried to smother himself.
'If this went on, I'll find a way to break into Horizon Alley!'
"Found anything?"asked Johann, as he entered their room.
Steve gave an angry growl in his pillow.
"That's what I thought"replied the German before he sat on the bed.
Steve grunted and moved on his back and glared at the man.
"If you came here to mock me, I'm beating you to a pulp"hissed the blond.
Johann stayed silent and gave a look at the blond, completely unfazed by his threat.
"I thought you were supposed to help me"hissed the blond again.
Johann raised a mocking eyebrow.
"Really? I thought it was your plan to find a way for us three to marry"
Johann ducked lazily the pillow Steve threw at him.
"Well, since you seem in a rather…good mood, I'll take my leave"Johann stood up lazily and slowly from the bed before he made his way to the door"And here I thought you would be happy about what I found"
Steve grunted.
"And what did you found, Schmidt?"hissed the blond.
Steve couldn't see it but he heard the smirk Johann was giving him.
"Why don't you join me and find out?"asked the German man.
Begrudgingly, Steve sat up and glared at the smug-looking man by the threshold.
"This better be good, Schmidt"replied Steve before he stood up from the bed.
Steve feared Schmidt's face would split in half from his wide grin.
—
Steve followed Johann to Harry's old coffee shop. With Harry's pregnancy and half-'maternity' leave, Harry had to admit he wouldn't be able to do The Lionheart-Tower trip and vice versa, pregnant or not, so he had to sell, much to the dismay of customers, only for the wizard to inform them that he had just relocated in one of the Avenger Tower's lowest floors Tony had been kind enough—more like he knew one day Harry would work for him— to lend and transform it into a cosy-looking coffee shop. Harry just had to cook and bake and the food would be taken down to the coffee shop by small elevator. So, until they moved all the stuff from the house above the Lionheart and deactivated the Floo Connection, Harry wouldn't sell. And by chance, Harry hadn't deactivated it yet. Steve watched as Johann used the backdoor of the Lionheart to enter before he followed the man inside then upstairs into the house's living room.
"Why did you take me here?"asked Steve.
Johann just smirked.
"I asked a certain witch for help"
Steve gaped at the brunet.
"Are you crazy?! I thought you said that if we asked Hermione she'll tell her family and then they will tell Harry! Our whole surprise plan is foiled!"
Johann raised an eyebrow.
"Do you really think Hermione is the only witch I know of?"
Before Steve could say anything, the fireplace roared and a redhead woman stepped out, wiping her weird-looking clothes then beaming at them.
"Steven, Johann"
Molly went and gathered the two taller and buff men in her arms and gave them her famous bear hugs.
"Mrs Weasley"said Johann.
Molly released them and put her hands on her hips.
"How many time do I have to tell you, it's Molly"half scolded the older witch.
Johann looked away and Molly took the man back in her arms—Johann had yet to get used to being hugged and not look like either it's the end of the world or he will murder everyone in the vicinity. Steve restrained himself from laughing, it was always funny to see Schmidt react to physical contact that wasn't Harry's.
"Thank you for coming on such a short notice"said Johann after Molly released him.
"You said you needed help, I'm always happy to help"replied the Weasley Matriarch, cupping the man's face"What is it then? Is Harry alright?"
Johann gently extracted his head from the woman's hands before he cleared his throat and extended a hand toward the door.
"How about we discuss it outside or around some food?"suggested the German man.
Molly frowned yet, accepted and the three walked out and went to the nearest—and least crowded— coffee shop. Sitting inside, due to cold weather, and ordering drinks, Molly stared expectantly at the two super solders.
"So, why did you Floo me?"asked Molly, after the waiter had given her, her hot chocolate, looking at Johann.
"For an important matter"said Johann, looking at the content of his cup—a Chai Tea Latte—"Important enough that we want to keep it a bit…"
"Hush hush"finished Steve before taking a gulp of his spiced hot chocolate.
Molly looked at Steve then Johann, then Steve then Johann again.
"Well, what is it?"
The blond and the brunet shared a look before Johann nodded slowly, followed by Steve.
"The thing is, Molly…"began slowly Steve"Before I tell you, I want you to remain calm and not to scream or tell someone close to Harry or even Harry himself"
Molly frowned before she eyed the two men worriedly.
"Harry? Is he alright? What's going on?"
"He's more than alright"answered Johann before taking a sip of his tea"But, for quite sometimes, R-Steve has been…pondering something for a while and, before we contacted you, he did everything in his power to…succeed it a-"
"Johann, either you get to the point or I curse you"scolded Molly.
Johann bit his lips, barely holding back a flinch and Steve let out a nervous snicker.
"What…Johann is trying to say"said the blond"Is that…I want to…I want us three to…To be married"
Molly openly gaped at Steve and the blond looked away, a blush on his face.
"I know there's no one in the Muggle World that would want to marry two men, much less three so…"
"So we're looking for something in the Wizarding World"finished Johann"Is there a way for us three to be married?"
Molly stayed silent and still and both men feared they had done something bad until the redhead woman let out a happy cry then hugged the life out of Steve then Johann.
"Oh, Merlin! Oh MERLIN!"—Johann and Steve tried to hush her gently as some heads turned toward them.
"Mrs. Weasley, please, we're amongst muggles"whispered Johann.
"How many times did I tell you? It's Molly and you should start getting used to it if you are to be my in-laws!"said the redhead woman.
Johann gaped at her while Steve huffed a laugh.
"So that means there's a way?"asked Steve, stars in his eyes.
"Of course!"answered Molly before she took a sip of her chocolate"You three are not the first triumvirate in Wizarding History, but you still are the first muggles-wizard triumvirate"
"Triumvirate?"asked Johann.
Molly nodded.
"That's what wizards call a bonded couple of three people"explained Molly"Mostly it's one witch-two wizards or a wizard-two witches but it happen that there were a muggle in some of the bonded"
"Bonded?"asked Steve
Molly nodded again.
"That's the wizard equivalent of marriage but, much, much more deep"Molly stared at the two, suddenly serious"Unlike marriage, a bond between two persons or more not only unite them but also link them, soul, mind and magic, in other words, you will feel what the other is feeling, if one is sad, you will feel their sadness, if they're happy, you'll feel their happiness and so on…Are you sure this is what you want?"
"Is there anything else?"asked Steve with a small smile
"No"answered Molly, finishing her chocolate"Not for more than two people I mean"
Johann nodded slowly.
"Is there any…Customs? Before proposing, like a marriage band or…dowry?"asked Johann
Molly shook her head.
"You just need a Bonding Wizard or Witch to do the binding spell for you"—Molly physically started and stared wide-eyed at the two—"Concerning the spell, all the parties must feel something for the other or the spell will never work"
"Feel?"repeated the two super soldiers and Molly nodded.
"The spell won't work if you feel anger or hatred or any negative emotions towards one of the parties, a way to assure the security of all of them, not many triumvirate or more-umvirate could be officialised because of that"
Johann and Steve gulped, staring at each other.
"Where can you do this kind of spell?"asked Steve.
"Anywhere in the Wizarding World"replied Molly.
"And for Muggles?"asked Johann"Horizon Alley is forbidden to Muggles and we'd like to surprise Harry"
Molly paused to think.
"I know where you can go for England but for America, mmmh…I do not know but, I can always try and go to Horizon Alley to look for something for you boys"
Steve and Johann let out a breath before smiling.
"If it's not too much, please"said Steve and Molly chuckled.
"Not at all, Steven"Molly stood up"I'll go now and I'll come and find you if I find anything"
"Actually"Johann fished something from his pocket"Here's a mobile phone, it will allow us to stay in contact anywhere and at any moment"
"A mobile phone?"repeated Molly and Johann smiled gently.
"Think of if like a portable Floo"explained Johann as he handed the device to the witch"But instead of being teleported to them, you can talk and even see each other, it's quite easy to use and this one is magicproof, just in case"
Molly laughed.
"You muggles are quite crafty"said Molly, twisting her phone in her hands.
Steve and Johann then explained her how to use it, demonstrating with theirs from time to time and, once Molly had got the hang of the basis, she walked out of the coffee shop and toward one of the entrances of Horizon Alley, promising to 'text' them anything she finds. Johann and Steve watched her go before paying for their drinks then walking to the Tower, sharing a fist-bump on their way. The same day, during dinner, Johann and Steve received a text from Molly, telling them she had found something in Las Vegas and even texted them photos of the information. Hiding a smile, Steve stared right back at Johann, who nodded his head.
'Thanks, Molly, you're the best, if there's anything you want from me or Schmidt, just ask'texted Steve back.
A few minutes then his phone vibrated.
'You'll need a witness ;)'replied Molly and Steve had to stop himself from smiling.
'Crafty witch'thought the blond.
His phone vibrated again.
'I'll join you in Vegas when you are ready, text or call me when you're about to go'
'Will do!'texted back Steve.
'Now, I'll just need a plan to get Harry to Vegas'
"Who was that?"asked Harry
"Just a friend from the Vet. Association"replied casually Steve"Telling me we'll have to cancel our meeting next week due to a familial problem"
"Ow! Send them my regards"replied Harry, sitting down.
Steve nodded
"I will"
—
"You need my jet for what!?"
Steve tried not to cringe as he looked around—and sighed relievedly when there were no signs of Harry.
"Keep your voice down a bit, Stark"drawled Johann.
"Why?"
"Because!"
"That's not even a good excuse!"
"Shut up the both of you"hissed Steve, massaging his eyes"Stark, please, we just need the jet for some days"
"Define 'some days'"drawled Tony
"Stark, either you give us the jet or we'll ask someone else"threatened Johann, about to leave but Steve stopped him by grabbing his arm.
"Schmidt, please…"
"No, we don't need him"growled Johann"I have a jet, just like him, and you can use it without me going all KGB on your arse!"
"Yes, a jet black jet with the notorious HYDRA logo, in red mind you, on it"drawled Tony"No eye-catching at all!"
"Shut up Stark! It's better than your jet and you know it!"
"Excuse me! But HYDRA technology is comparable to Cro-Magnon's stones and sticks!"countered Tony before he turned to Steve"Don't listen to this doofus and forget what I said earlier! You can use my jet! It's faster, slicker, technologicer-"
"That's not even a word, Stark!"shouted Johann
"-And beautifuler than the trash can Schmidt has been flying with!"
Johann sputtered angrily.
"Trash can!? At least, I didn't do unorthodox things in it!"
"Shut it, Skeletor!"
"Shut up the both of you!"shouted Steve.
Johann growled deep before he marched out of the lab and Steve shook his head at his retracting back.
"Please, Steve, tell me you aren't considering flying Schmidt's Trash Can?! It would be a blasphemy to the Wright Brothers!"Steve was sure Tony would have a heart attack if he answered 'yes'.
"Well…"began the blond.
"No, stop right there Cap! I said I will lend you my jet so you better take it-"
"Stark…"
"No 'Stark's! You take it or I ram it so far up your butt you won't need to hijack me or Thor for a fly in the next mission!"
Steve gave a look at the genius.
"Alright, alright, I'll take it"
Tony nodded, looking as if a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulder.
"Great, good! Just tell me when you need it and it will be ready!"
Steve nodded.
"Thanks Tony, really"
Tony nodded before he went back to his work. Steve smiled as he walked out of the lab. and toward the elevator. As he approached it, he saw Johann patiently waiting, an unlit cigarette at his lips. Johann raised his head as he heard footsteps coming toward him.
"So?"
"Your plan worked, I didn't think it would but it did!"admitted Steve with a wide smile.
Johann smirked, lighting the cigarette that was at his lips.
"So, when is he allowing us to use it?"
"Whenever we want, we just give him a head up and he'll prepare the jet for us"
Johann chuckled darkly, pressing the call button for the elevator.
"Manipulating Stark, really Kapitäin"
"It was your plan at first"said Steve"I just suggested that I do it since I know which button to push with him"
Johann out-right laughed.
"You sure you don't want to join HYDRA? We would have the world on its knees by the second day"
The doors of the elevator opened and the two stepped inside.
"No thank you"said the blond"I'd hate to kill you to take over your organisation"
Rather than be angry, Johann was amused.
—
They waited a few weeks before starting their plan. Johann was adamant that his HYDRA agents get a couple of weeks of vacation for the good work they have done—and threatening some of them at some point when they refused. With the HYDRA base in New York unavailable, Strucker couldn't order them or him to attack the Avengers—and ruin their bonding ceremony. Next was the kids. They debated whether to take Lily and James or not. Steve argued that the kids should witness their Dad's wedding ceremony but Johann remarked it was the wizard equivalent of a quickie wedding, not something quite memorable so they decided that, with the Avengers already babysitting Zee and Cas, they could babysit the other two—even if the idea didn't settle right with them.
"So, we have the jet, we have the location of the ceremony, we have the Avengers babysitting"recapitulated Steve as they were talking in an empty room"We're still missing something"
"What?"
"How are we luring Harry to the ceremony? Is he even gonna accept the bonding ceremony?"
Johann gave a long look at the blond.
"You're thinking that just now?! After everything we did?! Fick dich Rogers!"
"Shut up!"
Johann groaned, and massaged away the beginning of a headache.
"Couldn't you think this BEFORE?!"
"Sorry!"said the blond, making the German man groan louder.
Johann felt like bashing his head on the nearest wall…Or maybe Rogers'.
'Really!? This Dummkopf couldn't think this first?! Dumbass blond!'
"We could simulate an undercover mission?"piped up Steve.
"Or we could try the good ol' way, kidnap him"growled Johann.
"We're not kidnaping him!"
"Kidnaping who?"
The new voice startled them. They turned around to discover…Harry.
'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!'thought both men.
"Kidnaping who?"repeated the wizard coming closer"Jo? Steve?"
The two super soldiers tried not to share a look and think of a plausible lie.
'Maybe this could be a plan!'thought Steve
"Avenger mission"said Steve smoothly"Schmidt was telling me HYDRA has been wanting to kidnap a scientist and he didn't want to kidnap him and came to warn me"
"Except it's you who yelled you didn't want to kidnap him"Harry frowned and came closer"Are you lying to me?"
Both taller men gulped, hearing the threat underneath the tone. They better tell the truth or suffer being cursed, maybe even AK'ed on the spot.
Johann heaved a long sigh.
"Alright, we're coming clean"said Johann, ignoring Steve half gaping half glowering at him.
"Don't you dare"hissed the blond but Johann held up a hand in the universal 'stop' gesture.
"We have been planning something for the three of u-"
"Schmidt, open your mouth again and I'm ripping your tongue out!"
"Steve, don't make me curse you quiet"growled Harry, his magic pulsing slightly around the room.
"Harry, there's no need to use your magic like that"said Johann, feeling the magic swirl around him and tingle slightly his skin.
"No need? No need?!"—Harry came closer to him and Johann unknowingly stepped back—"For some times you both have been lying to me!"
"No, we haven't"said the German man and the magic swirled hotly and dangerously around him"…Okay, maybe we have"
"I can understand the first time, we all have our secrets but when I'm hearing more lies from not only you but Steve too, and recently even! I can't and I won't stand it anymore! I think something is up, and I'm not leaving this room until I have all the answers!"
Johann bit his lips uneasily and quickly sent an oblique look at the blond.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you"conceded Johann, heaving a sigh"We've been planning a little vacation for the three of us in Vegas, you've been working non-stop, not just as an Avengers but also as a full-time parent and we wanted you to have a little break, with us, with no kids, just the three of us…I even got my base to close for a while and the agents are taking a small vacation!"
Harry frowned at him and gauged him thoroughly for any lies.
"Is there any truth in this lie?"
"It's the truth"replied Johann"We were just discussing how we could get you into the plane Stark lent us"
Harry's eyes widened.
"Kidnaping!"
The brunet nodded.
"You know you could have just told me!"accused the wizard.
"And ruin the surprise?"replied Johann, a wry smirk at his lips.
Harry groaned.
"I swear Jo, if this is payback for the necklace-"
"It is! See how it feels!"
Harry hit him lightly on the shoulder as he snickered.
"So, you were planning to take me to Vegas?"
Johann nodded.
"Surprise!"said Johann with fake enthusiasm"We just would have liked for you to discover this once we were in Vegas"
Harry huffed a laugh before he went up to the sapphire-eyed man, stood on his tiptoe to kiss him softly on the mouth.
"You both are idiots, you know?"
"I'm not, Rogers is!"
"Shut up"
Harry chuckled and went to kiss Steve.
"So, when are we supposed to leave for Vegas?"
Okay, now they shared a look.
"How about in…"began Johann
"Two days? Just to have time to prepare and things"finished Steve and Johann nodded.
Harry gave them a look before he nodded slowly.
"Alright, well, I'll go see the weather on the Internet and see what I'm packing"said Harry as he made his way toward the door"Lunch will be ready in a moment and if one of you could go check on the twins, that would be greatly appreciated"
"I'll check on them"said Steve and Harry smiled before he left the room.
When they were sure they were alone, they let out a huge and relieved breath.
"That was close, like real close"heaved Steve, looking as if a huge weight had been taken off his shoulders and Johann nodded.
"Ja, I nearly died for you, du Dummkopf"growled Johann
"Well, at least, now we were able to get him into the plane"
Now that the near Harry-pocalypse was over, they returned to their planning.
—
'We fly to Vegas today, we should be arriving in around two hours'texted Steve.
…
…
…Ping!
'Noted! Don't forget the address, wear your best clothes, please inform Johann of this,'—Steve tried not to snort too noisily at this—'And more importantly, act like you normally would around Harry'texted back Molly.
The baby blue-eyed blond smiled.
'Dully noted on the last part, Harry nearly found out, thanks to Schmidt we were able to cover it up and have Harry into the plane without much fuss'
…
…
…Ping!
'Good thinking of Johann! Thanks Merlin, I would hate for all this planning to go down the drain!'
'Me too, Molly, me too, I'll see you at the church later, have a nice trip! :D'
…
…Ping!
'You too Steven, and Johann too, pass him a hello for me'
Steve smiled again as he pocketed his phone while going to the elevator and going down to his floor. Once he entered their room, he found Johann packing up.
"Where's Harry?"asked the blond.
Johann paused his folding and looked at the blond.
"He's up in the Penthouse, making something in case we go hungry"—Johann returned to his folding—"You warned her?"
"I did, and you have a 'hello' from her"
Johann smiled.
"So, that means everything is in place?"—Steve nodded—"Gut, gut, now if you could go get the needed clothing and hide them, we'll be ready to go"
Steve chuckled and nodded.
"Alright, you'll be fine on your own?"—Johann gave him a long look—"Just checking!"
Johann half glared at the retracting back before he folded the last piece of clothes and zipped the luggage shut.
'Rogers' luggage is done, Harry's and mine too'thought Johann as he grabbed the suitcase and made his way down the hangar where Stark's private jet was waiting for them'That means we're almost ready to depart'
Johann's elevator arrived to the hangar. He exited it and made his way to the plane. Opening the baggage hold, Johann went to place the luggage and found the hold full. Fuller with more than two people's luggage.
'Wait, wait! What?!'
Footsteps echoed inside the plane and Johann peaked his head inside the machine and came face to face with a smirking Tony. Johann glared.
"Stark, what are you doing here?"
Before the genius could answer, Natasha's voice piped from the pilot's seat.
"Why didn't you tell us you were planning to go on a vacation in Vegas?"
Johann started a little—not expecting her voice— and glared above Tony's shoulder.
"How do you know we're even going on a vacation?!"
"Well, you have luggage in the hold"came Clint's voice before he poked his head out"And Harry has been squealing happily about it"
Johann choked on his spit.
"Was?!"
A door opened and Harry with Steve walked out of the elevator then toward the plane. Once Harry was at Johann's side, he stared quizzically at the brunet.
"Jo? Is everything alright?"
Johann was trying not to explode from anger.
"Harry…"purred sweetly Johann"…Why are the Avengers in the plane, fully knowing of our plans?"
Steve's eyes widened and he gaped inside the plane while Harry gave a grin, unaware of what he had done wrong.
"Well, Clint was moaning about not having any vacation since becoming an Avenger and, to rub it in his face, I told him I was going on a vacation with you and Steve a-"
"-And I decided to hijack you"said Clint"Along with the others, we've all been dying for a vacation here!"
Johann glared at the archer before turning to Harry.
"Harry, it was supposed to be just the three of us, with no kids"
Two someone gasped before footsteps were heard then Johann found his waist ensnared by little arms.
"Vati, you didn't want to take on a vacation?"whined James.
Johann gulped and did his best not to look down at his kids. He failed. James and Lily were staring at him with big, round and wet eyes, eyes that would make puppies envious. Biting his lips, Johann didn't know what to say or what to do.
"Vati?"whined Lily, making him groan silent.
Head bowed slightly and shoulders slumped, Johann mentioned toward the plane.
"Everybody embark"said Johann in a despondent tone that made everyone—minus Steve— cheer.
Arms released his waist before scrambled footsteps were heard followed by happy chatter. Someone approached him and Johann raised his head and stared into two twinkling emeralds. Harry put a hand on his cheek before he leaned toward him and kissed him softly on the lips. When the kiss broke, Harry was beaming as he walked inside the jet. Steve made his way toward the jaded brunet.
'What are we going to do?'Steve's eyes seemed to say.
'I don't know'his eyes replied.
Heaving a huge and silent sigh, Johann made his way inside, followed by Steve.
—
They tried to think of a plan during the trip…And came up with nothing. Johann and Steve had refrained from banging their head on the plane's wall and, instead, were communicating silently—Thank you Morse Code!— each holding a twin to hide their tapping fingers on their legs.
'Our plan can go down the drain'said Steve, his slightly slumped form indicating his blasé-ed mood.
Johann cleared silently his throat—and got Steve's attention— and readjusted a squealing Castiel in his arms before he tapped his thigh silently with one and two fingers—one for small dot and two for long.
'Maybe not'Johann paused before he went on'We can do one last thing'
'What is it'Steve gave him a questioning look.
Johann swallowed before tapping on his thigh.
'Maybe we should come clean to the Avengers'said Johann
'You think'Steve gave him a glare and Johann didn't know if he was being sarcastic or asking.
'Yes'
'Why'
'Because I think Nat is onto something with us'replied Johann, his eyes moving from the blond to the corner of his eyes—Clearly toward the redhead.
With a discreet glance toward the Russian, who had been chatting with Bucky in Russian since the beginning of the trip, who was staring at them from the corner of her eyes while still talking with Buck.
'You sure'
Johann was sure it was a question.
'Yes'said the German'Look'—Johann shifted Cas in his arms and started tapping his left thigh.
Steve didn't know what was being said but when he saw Nat start tapping back an insult he might have an idea.
'See'said Johann, turning back to the blond with a look.
Steve gave a soundless groan.
'Alright I will tell her'said Steve.
'Make sure she keep it a secret from Harry'Johann gave a warning look at the American, who nodded before tapping on his thigh.
Within minutes, the two super soldiers watched as Nat's eyes widened before she said something in Russian at Bucky—who tried not to gape openly at them— who then stood up and went casually to Bruce—and started talking to him in Bengali, silently, while Natasha started signing at Clint. The archer's eyes widened before he smirked and turned to Stark—on the pilot seat—and Thor.
"I nostri buffoni si stanno per sposare con il nostro stregone, ma non dobbiamo dirglielo!"said Clint.
Steve had to put a hand on Johann's shoulder to stop him from pouncing on the man.
"What? What was that?"asked Harry, raising his head from his book.
"Just playing a game of Chinese Whispers"said Bruce with a smile.
Harry frowned.
"Since when it's not done in English?"
"I just wanted to test Tony's Italian"said Clint.
"Pfff! Like I need any testing!"replied Tony.
"Then, what did he say?"
Steve and Johann held their breath silently as Tony laughed.
"He said the diaphragm jelly is in my glovebox"
"What?"breathed Harry, his shoulders shaking with repressed laughters"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I don't know, I'm just repeating what Bird Brain said to me"
"And you got it wrong, I told you I have a rash on my ass I think you gave it to me"
"Eww!"shouted the twins, covering their ears, while Harry laughed.
"You guys are disgusting"said Harry.
Unaware of the two super soldiers grinning and smiling behind him, Harry returned to his reading.
—
"How long have you been planning this?"growled Bucky.
They had arrived at the hotel half an hour ago. Steve and Johann had suggested that Harry freshen up for a special evening, and Harry had gladly accepted, taking Lily and James with him, leaving the rest of them in the lobby of the hotel. Once the wizard had gone up to their suite, the Avengers had swarmed them.
"I don't know"said calmly Steve, in his arms Zeke yawned, and the blond turned to Johann"How long have we planned this?"
"I think…Three four months"replied Johann.
"Roughly"added Steve, nodding.
"And you're telling us this now?!"Tony groaned"You could have told me!"
"And what good could that have been?"drawled Johann.
"Well, for one, I would have booked us a better hotel with the Nuptial Suite for you three"growled the genius"I would have given you the best suits and the best party!"
"This is exactly why we didn't tell you Tony, no offense"said Steve"We wanted to surprise him and…"Steve paused.
"And the fact that no one would marry THREE men together"finished Johann"We had to look in the Wizarding World for this matter"
"Wizarding World?"repeated Thor"Did you not know we could have married you up in Asgard?"
"We didn't"said both super soldiers at the same time
"And going up in Asgard would have been…Let's say…Predicatble"said Johann, calmly"We just want a simple and quick ceremony, something that can't be done in Asgard or elsewhere, except Vegas, which I've been told that there is someplace where you can bond quickly and with more than one person at the same time"added Johann, playing with Castiel gently.
"You went to the Wizarding World for this"stated Natasha, glaring at the brunet then the blond super soldier"You went to the Wizarding World for this and you didn't invite me"
"We didn't"answered Steve"Muggles aren't accepted in Horizon Alley"
"Then, how did Achmed the Dead Terrorist know?"asked Tony, making Johann glare at him.
"They had me"piped a voice.
The Avengers turned and stared at the redheaded woman, who the Avengers had learnt had been Harry's foster mother when she had come, one day, in Harry's hospital room after the birth of the twins.
"Mrs. Weasley"greeted Steve while Johann gave the woman a greeting smile.
Molly smiled and went to hug the blond then the brunet super soldier.
"How many times-"
"More than we can count"said Johann with a smile, snickering when Molly whacked him on the head.
"It's been a while, Mrs. Weasley"said Tony, gladly accepting a hug from the motherly woman.
"Molly and yes, it has, how have you been?"
"Good, good"replied Tony as Molly went to hug the rest of the Avengers.
The witch smiled.
"Great"she turned to the two super soldiers and glared at them"Steven, I did say to wear your best clothes, same for Johann"
"I was about to"replied the blond"But I was swarmed with pesky pests demanding answers"
Tony and Bucky harrumphed while the rest of the Avengers glared at him.
"Well, don't you two stand there"chided Molly, taking the twins from their arms"Get up and dress up or our plan will definitely go down the drain"
Both feeling cheeky, Johann and Steve stood up straight and mock saluted her.
"Sir, yes, sir/Jawohl!"replied both men before making a beeline for the elevator as Molly looked ready to curse them, even with her arms full.
When they arrived in their suite, Harry was in the living room, shirtless, hair a bit wet, and putting on trousers.
"Finally you're up, thought you had lost yourselves"said Harry, a cheeky smile at his lips"Where are…"
"Nat is babysitting them"replied Steve"You know how she is with them"
Johann gave a smirk.
"And we didn't get lost, we were merely arranging the reservations for this evening since we're numerous"replied Johann.
Harry nodded slowly as he put on a shirt.
"No problems?"
"Not at all"answered Steve as he made his way to the bedroom then bathroom, undressing on the way while Johann proceeded to follow him with a luggage then empty the content of said luggage onto the bed: the two protective covers that housed their suits.
While Harry kept on getting dress up in the living room, Steve took a shower. When he was done and towelling his hair, Johann walked in, clad in just a towel.
"Molly texted me, she's waiting for us inside the church"whispered Johann as hepassed by Steve.
"A church?"
Johann nodded.
"To blend in in Muggle Vegas, according to her"Johann entered the shower cubicle"And reminded us that we must dress up well"
Steve snorted before exiting the bathroom and going for one of the suits on the bed—the royal blue one. He was trying to tie his tie correctly when Johann emerged from the bathroom, a towel around his waist, and made his way toward the bed.
"It's been a while since I put on a real suit"remarked Johann, staring at the dark blue suit on the bed.
Steve snorted, done with his tie—the knot a bit sloppy but good.
"The last time I wore a suit like that, it was for my mother's funeral"
Heavy silence.
"Ich bitte um Entschuldigung"said slowly Johann and Steve shook his head.
"It's okay, it's not your fault, I'm just glad I'm putting a suit for a great occasion rather than a tearful one"
Johann made a noise of agreement as he turned around, took off the towel and put on the trousers then the white shirt before buttoning it up. Steve watched him dress, quickly, from the corner of his eyes and was amazed at the speed Johann was tying his tie.
'I wouldn't be surprised if he could do it with his eyes closed'
"Hope you won't go out like that"
Steve started at the brunet's voice.
"What?"
"Your tie"simply said Johann"You tied it as if you were going to a f…"Johann cut himself, cleared his throat before continuing"Your knot is sloppy"
Steve stayed silent, simply staring at him.
"Really?"
Johann nodded before he motioned the blond to come. Silently, Steve complied and Johann undid his tie before slowly re-tying it into a Full-Windsor knot.
"You all ready?"came a voice as Johann was finishing Steve's knot.
Both men turned to the source of the voice…And nearly chocked on their saliva. Harry was dressed in a velvet green suit, a light green and yellow shirt and a colourful tie. In simple words, he looked so fucking sexy, the green suit seemed to make his eyes more glowing. Harry blushed a little at their stare.
"Soooo…How do I look?"asked the wizard, looking down at himself.
"Amazing"breathed Steve.
"Köstlich"purred Johann.
They said it at the same time and it worsened Harry's blush.
"You can thank Lily and James, if it weren't for them, I would have gone as a clown"admitted Harry.
"Remind me to give them both a gift"said Johann lowly.
Harry nodded as James—in a black and red suit— burst into the room, Lily—in a bottle green sequin dress— hot on his tail. The red headed girl chased after her brother and both started running around the two super soldiers.
"Get back here!"growled Lily
"Nope! I want to live"
Both rolling their eyes, Steve and Johann bent down and grasped a twin each in their arms.
"What is it with you two?"asked Johann, kissing James's temple.
"He messed with my hair"accused Lily, in Steve's arms.
"It was an accident!"defended himself James"I just wanted to fix her braid because of a strand and you moved and it all went down"
"I spent centuries trying to braid my hair! Centuries!"
James gave her a long look.
"Aren't you exaggerating a bit here?"drawled the boy"And it looked horrible anyway so be glad I messed with it"
"Kids"soothed Steve as Lily looked ready to launch out of his arms and strangle her brother.
Johann heaved a sigh as he rolled his eyes.
"Lily, settle down"said Harry after a sigh before he made his way toward Steve"I'll re-do your braid"
"Don't worry, I got it"replied Steve, setting the little girl down before looking at her"What kind of braid do you want?"
"Elvish braids! Elvish braids!"replied ecstatically the redhead as she went to the living room to gather the needed stuff.
Steve stifled a laugh as he watched her go and sat on the bed, patiently waiting.
"Hope you know what you're doing"said James as Johann set him down.
"I read then watched Lord of the Rings, of course I would know how to braid"drawled Steve with an amused smile.
Lily came back with a paper, a brush, a comb and elastic bands and explained what she wanted to the blond.
"I want the same hair as Tauriel in the Hobbit"simply said Lily, extending the paper toward him.
Steve stared at what seemed to be the tutorial on how to braid your hair into Tauriel's before he nodded and Lily sat on the ground and Steve started brushing then braiding her hair slowly. If Johann was quick to tie a tie, Steve was good with doing hairdo. In less than fifteen minutes, he was done.
"There, tell me how it looks"said Steve and Lily eagerly went to the bathroom to stare at herself.
"I LOVE IT!"came Lily's voice before a red blur ran into his legs and hugged his waist"Thank you so much, it's amazing!"
"Good, we should go now or we'll be late"said Harry
"I agree"said Johann"But before we go, I want to do something"
Harry turned to him.
"Mmh?"
Johann smirked and took out a silk cloth from his pocket.
—
"I swear if you make me walk into a pole, you're sleeping on the couch"growled Harry"Both of you!"
Clint and Thor snickered somewhere behind him. Johann had suggested that he be blindfolded, so that the surprise may last longer to quote the arsehole.
'I really hope I don't walk into a pole'
Johann's and Steve's strong hands on his shoulders was the only thing that stopped him from halting altogether in his steps.
"We won't, I promise"came Johann's voice.
Harry made a noise from the back of his throat and let himself being blindly led by his boyfriends. Behind him, he could hear Zeke and Cas coo softly, albeit tiredly, and Harry wondered why he hadn't left them to sleep at the hotel but when he saw how cute they looked in little tux—thanks Tony for them and thanks Nat for dressing them— the thought had left his mind. They walked for a while before finally stopping.
"We're here"came Steve's voice.
Wait…Why was fear tinting Steve's voice?
Before Harry could utter something, someone started undoing his blindfold and blinking neon lights greeted him. Harry stared at the floodlit and colourful building in wonder, read the words on the threshold and his eyes widened as it sank into his mind that he stood in front of a church.
"Wh-what?"breathed Harry, turning around and staring at the group behind him.
Well, more like the two down on one knee super soldiers that looked at him expectantly.
'Oh Merlin, surely they aren't…?!'
His hands flew to his mouth to hold back a gasp while James and Lily gasped loudly.
"I-We understand this is the last thing you expected"began Steve slowly, carefully.
"Especially like that"added Johann slowly"But please, bare with us for a moment, we're as moved and as stressed as you are, if not more"
Harry stayed dumbfounded, eyes wide and hands still clasped on his lower face. Steve and Johann eyed each other before the blond nodded and Johann inhaled shakily, fear gripping his whole being.
"When we first met, it wasn't in good way…"started Johann slowly"I was hellbent on world domination and, to win, I wanted a mean to an end and you were this mean…I hurt you, I scarred you for the rest of your life and for that, I will never forgive myself, it's not like I can anyway…"—Johann inhaled sharply before continuing—"…When I lost you, I felt like my world had crumbled, I had never noticed just how much I had fallen deeply for you, I was madly in love with you, I still am don't worry"—Johann emitted a small chuckle—"…And when I saw you again, it felt like a gift from the Gods…I admit I was still in my world domination mind as I tried to woo you back"—Johann let out a dark snicker—"And the whole 'woo back' plan backfired on me and, if possible, I fell more in love with you, and I have no regrets for my action, I just regret that I hurt you and I hope I will be able to heal your past wounds"
Johann swallowed before he eyed Steve and nodded at him.
"When we met, it also wasn't in a good way…"began Steve"You were my enemy at first, you were evil in my eyes and mind until you told me you were used for evil deeds against your will, I can't tell you how I felt because I don't even know what I felt and then I slept…When we met again, it had been two weeks since I stopped playing Sleeping Beauty"—Amused snort from Johann and wet giggles from Harry—"And I'm called back to duty to stop an alien with a God complex that wants to dominate the world, I never expected to see you again, nor to fall for you as the world was going to shit…I tried to ask you out but I have never been good at asking a dame out in my time, much less a guy so I understand my wooing attempts were futile until that day at the Lionheart, you accepted going out with me and it became clear to me after your heartbroken speech at the restaurant that I accepted you, with your flaws and your qualities, your past and your present, now the question is are you willing to spent your future with not only me"
"But with me too"finished Johann, slowly.
Both inhaled slowly.
"Harry, will you bond, in heart, mind and soul, with us?"asked both Steve and Johann.
There were no words in any languages to say how speechless he was. He felt like time had stopped around him as he stared at the two kneeling men. He didn't even register he was crying until the wind blew and something cooled on his cheeks. Slipping his hands under his glasses, Harry rubbed the tears from his eyes, breathy sobs escaping his lips as he tried to gather himself to formulate an answer.
"Y-Yes"breathed a sniffing Harry after a beat"Yes! Yes!"
Harry flung himself into the super soldiers who barely moved when he landed in their arms, their heads nuzzling his neck.
"You bunch of idiots"sobbed Harry"Yes, I'll bond with you two"
The arms around him tightened and Harry felt his boyf-fiancés smile before they released him. Behind them, The Avengers cheered while James and Lily went to hug them.
"So this is why you went to Vegas!"said James, his grin wide enough to nearly split his face.
"We did, and we had a lot of troubles"replied Steve, releasing Harry.
"If I wasn't such an emotional mess, I'd hit you two for making me feel like this"breathed Harry before he turned to the Avengers"Did you guys knew?"
"Only when we were in the plane"answered Tony, before coming up to Harry and gathering him in his arms.
Harry let out a laugh.
"Chinese Whispers, my arse"said the wizard as the other Avengers hugged him to congratulate him.
When all of them had hugged him, Harry felt a gentle pressure in his middle back, followed by a second. Turning around and smiling at his fiancés, he let himself be lead inside the church to officialise their bonding. Harry couldn't help the happy squeal upon seeing Molly patiently waiting on one of the chairs of the waiting room. Molly smiled when she saw them and opened her arms for a hug from her foster-son, who gladly did so.
"Molly, what are you doing here?"
Molly laughed.
"Who do you think hinted those two on bonds and binding ceremonies?"
More tears of happiness fell down his cheeks as Molly said this.
"I think I understand now why Steve wanted to go to Horizon Alley"
"Yes, he's a crafty one, same goes for Johann as he was the one who had the intelligence to Floo me"said Molly.
Harry laughed something that sounded like a sob as Johann and Steve looked down embarrassedly. Molly took Harry's head in her hands, her thumbs rubbing circles on his wet cheeks.
"Harry, answer me honestly, are you happy with them?"asked Molly gently.
Harry nodded.
"Very, I have never been more happy in my whole life"
The Weasley Matriarch nodded.
"Remember, Harry, if they hurt you…"said Molly.
Harry let out a breathy laugh.
"I think if Steve or Johann were to hurt me, there will be a civil war at home with how much people will want to protect me"
His foster-mother smiled at his answer before kissing him on the forehead. Someone passed their arms around his waist and Harry grinned even wider.
"Come, let's start the ceremony"said Steve and Harry nodded widely while Molly motioned toward the large double doors of the church.
"The Binding Wizard is waiting for you"informed Molly.
Walking towards them, Johann pushed the double doors gently, letting the room reveal itself. Rows of white benches on each side of the room with a way between them that lead to the altar where the young-looking Binding Wizard was patiently waiting for them, wearing robes that would make Dumbledore jealous. Slowly walking toward them, the wizard bowed in front of them in a greeting way. Bowing that was imitated by Molly, Harry, James and Lily—then by the Avengers.
"Mister Potter, what an unexpected pleasure to finally meet you, you may call me Callum"said the Binding Wizard, eyeing the raven-haired wizard's forehead.
Harry tensed a little and the wizard laughed slightly.
"Don't worry, Mister Potter, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, I won't reveal your bonding to anyone"reassured Callum with a smile"If you knew what kind of people I have bonded in my time here, I would have enough blackmail to take over the Wizard World without much of a fight but sadly, Unbreakable Vows bind me to silence"
"And that is supposed to sound reassuring"drawled Johann and was elbowed by Harry.
"Jo"
"I was merely asking"replied the German man.
Harry glared at the brunet while the Binding Wizard smiled.
"Shall we begin the ceremony?"—Harry, Steve and Johann shared a look before nodding—"Very well, if the parties of the triumvirate would stand before the altar with their witnesses, we may start"
"Witnesses?"asked Johann and the wizard nodded"I thought we only needed one"
The Binding Wizard shook his head.
"For each party, a witness must stand"
"I stand with Johann Schmidt"said Molly, coming to stand next to the brunet super soldier.
"We need two more witnesses"said Harry.
The Avengers stared at each other before Tony suddenly stood.
"I stand with Harry Potter"
"And I stand with Steve Rogers"came Natasha's voice as she handed Cas to Thor.
The Binding Wizard motioned for them to join them and Tony stood beside Harry and Natasha beside Steve. Staring at them with a smile, Callum motioned the group to follow him to the altar. Taking his place behind the altar—they noticed it had a bowl in it now that they were closer—Callum stared at the parties and their witnesses before magic started vibrating in the air.
"We are here to conduct a bonding ceremony between three parties"—Magic started gathering in the room, slowly, gently—"Who stand witness?"
"I, Molly Isobelle Weasley, stand witness to Johann Ekkehardt Schmidt's bonding ceremony"
Something invisible, sweet and warm circled Johann and Molly.
"I, Anthony Edward Stark, stand witness to Harry James Potter's bonding ceremony"
The same thing that circled Johann and Molly circled them.
"I, Natalia Alianovna Romanoff, stand witness to Steven Grant Rogers"
The same thing happened to them and Callum nodded.
"May the bonding ceremony of Harry Potter, Johann Schmidt and Steven Rogers…begin"
The Magic that had been circling them exploded and sent a tiny shockwave in the room before it settled around the room, waiting patiently.
"Is it supposed to do that?"asked Johann.
"It is, now, for the parties, give me your hand"
Callum extended a hand toward Harry and the raven took it. Callum took out a silver knife before, slowly, slicing the palm of the wizard. Harry let out a hiss at the pain and watched as tiny drops of blood dripped into the bowl. Callum whipped the blade clean before repeating the same process with Steve then Johann.
"Now, grab each other's forearm at the elbow, with your bleeding hand and over the bowl"instructed the wizard, taking a step back.
Slowly, Harry, Steve and Johann arranged themselves into a triangle so that they may grab the other's forearm. Harry grabbed onto Steve's, while Steve grabbed onto Johann's and Johann onto Harry's. Callum started chanting and the drops of their mixed blood in the bowl started floating above it, swirl and twirl mindlessly.
"Now, all the parties must kiss each others to seal the bond"
Johann and Steve stared at each other before Johann gave a slow nod. Steve slowly approached his face to Harry's and gently kissed the raven-haired wizard. Immediately, a glowing, golden thread linking their hearts appeared. Steve released Harry's lips, only for them to be swallowed under Johann's and another golden thread linked their hearts together. It was an amazing yet alien feeling, he felt heartbeats than wasn't his echo his heartbeats and emotions that also weren't his. Seeing the two golden threads, Johann and Steve eyed each other warily.
"I said all parties must kiss to seal the bond"reminded calmly Callum.
'Now, here's the hardest part'thought both Steve and Johann.
Molly had told them that if one of the parties had negative feelings toward another, the bond wouldn't be sealed and so far, Johann and Steve didn't have any negative feelings towards one another but they didn't love each other either, and they wondered if this will be enough. Johann and Steve kept on staring warily at each other, then at their joined limbs before Johann inhaled soundlessly and approached his face toward Steve's. The blond stayed still as the brunet's lips hovered his before they landed softly and Steve tried to relax his body and answer the awkward kiss. Steve thought about Johann's devotionness and love for Harry and tried to convey his respect and pride in the kiss while Johann conveyed his respect and slight friendship for the blond. Closing their eyes and deepening the kiss while projecting any kind of positive feeling for the other, they hoped for their bond to seal. Separating as the need for air was getting unbearable, they edged away from each other and opened their eyes slowly…And smiled upon seeing the thin, yet glowing strongly, golden string linking their heart. Callum started chanting and Johann felt his palm and Steve's grow warm before he watched as his blood snaked hotly its way to Harry's forearm then his hand before settling near the ring finger. The same thing happened with Steve's blood on his arm and Harry's blood on Steve's. Callum chanted louder and the blood near Johann's ring finger curled around it and began to burn. Holding back a hiss—unlike Steve and Harry— Johann watched the transformation of his blood into a red golden band that drank the rest of the blood on his arm, making a deep green emerald and blue sapphire appear followed by runic symbols. The same transformation occurred with Steve—a whitish band with a blood red ruby and the same deep green emerald as his— and Harry—golden band with also a blood red ruby and a sapphire.
"I declare all parties bonded, in magic, mind and soul"said Callum"Please, welcome the Potter-Schmidt-Rogers Triumvirate, nobody may dissolve your union for only Death can do you three apart, so mote it be"
The Magic still in the room heated and vibrated before releasing a small shockwave, indicating the vow was sealed.
—
"Sooooo…Now that you are married, what are you going to do?"asked Clint, grabbing a piece of pizza.
After the Binding Ceremony, the group and the newly-bonded decided to go grab a bite and Tony suggested a nice pizza joint a few blocks away.
"In the immediate? Finish my pizza"replied Harry.
"And in the long run?"asked Thor, finishing his second—WHOLE— pizza.
"Maybe consummate the bond"—Johann and Steve choked on their pizza—"After all, a bond is considered null if it hasn't been consummated"
"Ewwwww!"whined the twins.
"Dad, we're eating!"said Lily
"And we'd like to keep it in our stomach, please"added James.
"You could have, at least, said it in a…Let's say, more tactful way"growled Johann, finishing his piece of pizza.
"What would be the fun in that?"
Johann growled and Steve chuckled.
"Don't worry Harry, when we're finished here, I promise we'll honor you dutifully"—Steve bit into his pizza—"In every room of our shared hotel room and every position"
This time, half of the Avengers chocked and the twins whined louder.
