Chapter Thirteen-Passion

"Excuse me, boys." Ginny flashed them a quick smile before walking off to her mother, who was speaking with Narcissa Malfoy, Lavender's mother and Mrs. Zabini. "Mum, I need to speak with you."

"Ginny dear, whatever is the matter?" She beckoned her to the side.

"Percy is here."

Molly's smile faded instantly. "What? What do you mean 'here'?"

"Over there at Marcus's table."

Molly peered in that direction and saw Ginny was right...that mop of crimson curls was unmistakable.

What the hell is he doing here?! And...where did those robes and glasses come from? I surely did not purchase them!' "Go back to your friends. I'll handle this." The sharp tone in her mother's voice forced her to obey without question. Ginny did not want to be in the middle, of course she would have loved to been the spectator.

"Hey Percy, how about we go upstairs? Take a break from the crowd?"

Percy replied "I'd love to."

Making sure the coast was clear, the boys calmly left through the glass doors.

Molly was hot on their heels when Tonks blocked the door. "Pardon me, but I need to.."

"You can go back into the ballroom. The prince does not need unnecessary bombardment. Strict orders." Narrowing her eyes, the matriarch went back to the party. Tonks stuck her tongue out, flipping her off.

The two teens hustled through the halls, heading to his room, hoping nobody else would miss them. Upon shutting and locking the door, they flopped down upon the bed. "I didn't know how much longer I'd last...too many people."

"Tell me about it, Marcus. For the longest time, I thought I felt eyes on me."

They sighed, relaxing onto the duvet. Marcus pondered silently for a moment before he spoke "Percy, there's been something I've been wondering for quite some time."

"What is it?"

"Why is it that you never undress in front of me? I mean, we're both guys...so there's no need to be shy. We've been together for over a month."

Percy sighed sadly, standing up and folding his arms around himself. "You want me to be honest?"

"Please."

"Alright. Truth is, I can't stand my appearance. I've been tall and skinny for as long as I can remember. As I, as I grew up...nothing really changed except for a few obvious things. While my siblings grew up and out, I stayed the same. Nothing I did like walking all over town or carrying a shit ton of Mum's things while multitasking with a wand made a difference."

He continued "As the days went on, they were getting noticed...praised. Mum, she's beyond delighted at how they turned out...and when she looks at me, I can see the disappointment and distaste in her eyes, like I'll never amount to anything she perceives as worthy. The fact my some of my siblings have cracked on my looks for years made it even worse...if you also don't include people walking right by me like I'm invisible or getting a sneer of disgust from one of their friends or their mothers. Hell, a few years ago, Bill tried to convince me to come out in swimtrunks once. I almost stepped out the door until Ron, Ginny, a few of her girlfriends and several boys started pointing and laughing. I haven't went out in one since. Every day, when I look in the mirror I see a bony, scrawny, freckle-slathered, pasty-skinned weakling. And, I just can't bring myself to see otherwise...I just can't. You don't know what it's like to be ridiculed...you should... consider yourself lucky you don't have to deal with this." he finished as several tears ran down his face.

Marcus stared at Percy, saddened to see how much he was truly hurting. Honestly, he had to admit that he was lucky he wasn't ridiculed on a near-daily basis. Sure, he's been made fun of, but once he beat up the ones who taunted him, they left him alone. Percy on the other hand...during most of his life, he was treated as less of a man by some of those who were supposed to care about him most. What also unnerved Flint is that after all this time, Percy still feels so vulnerable. He hated that his boyfriend was in pain and now, it was up to him to make sure he never feels that way again.

Flint stood up and walked behind the tearful redhead. "Percy, come here." He turned him around and guided his face to his. "I need you to trust me when I say this...let me remove your clothes."

Percy stared at him in shock over the request. "W-what is that going to accomplish?"

"You'll see...please."

Percy had no choice but to trust him. This man never left him plummet to his death when they flew. Apprehensively, he allowed Marcus to unbutton his vest, then his shirt, eventually stripping him of every stitch of clothing. Percy closed his eyes in shame and embarrassment. 'When is this going to be over?'

Marcus ran his hands slowly up and down Percy's shoulders, attempting to soothe him. "Don't worry love, you won't be alone." he whispered softly into his ear as he too, removed himself of his ensemble. As soon as his boxers hit the floor, Marcus wrapped his arms around Percy. "Look, Percy."

He relented but decided to obey. Percy turned his gaze up at the full length mirror on the wall. There both he and Flint were, completely nude, standing in the middle of the room-a thin frame in front of a heavily built one, pale skin against tan...and nothing in between.

"Do you want to know what I see? I see someone who doesn't know how beautiful they really are. I see someone who is perfect-intelligent, insightful, kind and wonderful. Those are the most important aspects I treasure, the fact it's all wrapped up in a gorgeous package only adds to it. You see.." he rested his head on Percy's shoulder as he spoke "...when you say 'scrawny', I say 'slender'. When you say 'pasty', I say 'ivory'. 'Slathered with freckles'..I say 'sprinkled' with them. Percy, you are absolutely the most beautiful boy I've laid my eyes on...inside and out. Don't let what a few egotistical, vain and shallow arseholes tell you any different. I chose you over anyone else in the world, and I don't find myself wanting anyone other than you. Ever."

Percy remained silent. No one's words had ever struck a chord within him as much as Marcus's. Of course, Bill and Charlie have tried, don't get him wrong, but the fact it came from someone he used to consider a complete stranger, the most unexpected of people...whom he's grown close to and fell for. It made so much more of a difference. How Marcus described him sounded so sweet, so genuine..he couldn't help but feel an intense euphoria arising within his almost-shattered form.

He did not feel so cold inside anymore. Percy felt a few stray tears run from his eyes, this time, they weren't from despair. Marcus turned him around and wiped those salty drops from his freckled cheeks.

"Marcus, did you...mean everything you said?"

He pressed their foreheads together, whispering "Every word." just before capturing Percy's lips in a much-needed, passionate kiss.

Percy leaned into him, allowing himself to surrender as Marcus ran his fingers throughout his curls, tasting every centimeter of that familiar mouth. As they kissed, Percy felt something stab into his pelvis. Peering down, he could see it was Marcus's rather intimidating length, standing to full attention. At the same time, he could see himself rapidly hardening. He gulped before meeting Marcus's eyes...those eerie ice blue orbs have darkened with intense lust.

Breathlessly, Percy whispered "M-Marcus...I.."

He didn't have to say anything. With a swift motion, he picked up the redhead bridal-style, pulled down those crimson sheets and laid him upon the bed. Percy couldn't believe it. He was actually going to have sex...with Marcus. Flint placed kisses all over Percy, caressing every curve of his body. Eventually reaching his cock, he swallowed as he recalled every excruciating detail Cassius and the others gave him.

He took him into his hand and slowly licked across the head, causing Percy to shudder at the sensation. Marcus continued, licking him all around the top before taking it down the sides. Reaching up again, he enclosed his mouth around him, remembering to breathe through his nose as he sucked. Percy gasped as he petted him, watching Marcus treat him with care.

"C-Can I try?"

Marcus released him with a smile "Of course...just take it slow. As you can see...I'm above average."

'Well above it...' Percy nodded as he moved over, reciprocating the slow and teasing movements before taking him halfway. What he couldn't take, he rubbed with his hand.

Marcus groaned in pleasure, watching Percy on his knees was an absolute delight. Percy gazed up at him with half-lidded eyes as he removed his mouth, taking once last chance to dart at the tip with his tongue. He laid back on the bed as Marcus grabbed his wand, muttering a few spells-one that caused an internal tingling and the second, a warm and oily sensation. Marcus performed the same on his hand and aching cock before setting it down.

"I gotta prepare you first, love...make it a little easier."

Percy smiled, spreading his legs. Marcus grinned as he slowly inserted a long, broad finger..stretching those tight muscles. As Flint watched Percy's expression turn from slight discomfort to wanting, he remembered Cassius telling him this felt good but the next part would be even better.

Bending down, Marcus circled his tongue around Percy's tight hole as his finger slid in and out, making him moan a bit louder. Inserting another finger, Marcus pleasured him a little longer before lining himself up. "Percy, if this hurts too much, tell me and I'll stop."

"Doesn't the first time always hurt?" He had a point. With a slow thrust, Marcus pushed the head in, getting three inches in before hearing Percy hiss in pain, grabbing his shoulders.

"Percy?"

"No, Marcus..keep going. Please, I want this." Marcus smiled, kissing in between his eyes as he pushed all the way inside. Gritting his teeth, Percy accepted the huge appendage inside his tight cavern, allowing himself to relax as Flint began moving.

"Faster."

"Ok, love.." he picked up the pace, gripping Percy's hips. Percy moaned loudly as he felt that cock move in and out of him, hitting a spot that made him cry out.

"Ahh! there! right there! More!"

Hearing Percy's demands threw him into overdrive. He started slamming into Percy repeatedly, wrenching a few screams out of him. "Fuck! Please don't stop!"

Marcus growled "Don't worry baby, I won't." He bucked himself into the redhead like a madman, watching his love grasp the sheets and cry out in pure ecstasy. Seeing Percy become so undone, so lustful, it was more beautiful than he could ever dream.

As the sweat ran down their bodies, Marcus laid back and pulled Percy on top, still thrusting madly into him, Percy screaming nonsense the entire way. With one final thrust, Marcus came with a howl, biting Percy on the shoulder. The redhead yelped, climaxing a moment later, leaving Flint's heaving chest wet and sticky.

Laying down on the pillows, both boys were catching their breath, exhausted from their erotic encounter. Marcus had an arm around Percy while he rested his head on his shoulder.

"Marcus...that was...oh fuck..."

He chuckled. "Yeah, we just did that..heh heh. And amazing it was. I...had no idea our first time would be...so explosive."

"Tell me about it.." he yawned.

"I'd love to make this a habit, wouldn't you? Percy?" he saw that his crimson-haired love was already fast asleep. Not wanting to wake him, Marcus pulled the covers up over them. Using a 'Nox', he sent the room into darkness.

Around midnight, the royal ball came to a close. Every guest bid their farewells and apparated home.

Walking towards the apparition point, Molly was silently fuming. 'I know that boy went upstairs with Marcus to attempt seduction. I'm not blind, I've done the same when I was seventeen. I can't believe what nerve that selfish brat is demonstrating. Well, when he gets home...one would best believe I'm putting a stop to it.'

Yay! Percy and Marcus finally romped in the sheets! XD I know you guys must be so proud. :P What's up next? Wait to see!
