Edward had washed in the cold water of the sink in the kitchen, he didn't feel the chill and he was wondering whether he should bother putting on some clothes, Harry would only rip them off again he hoped, smiling. His mind was racing. He couldn't believe something as good as Harry's love had happened to him. He just wasn't that lucky. He shook his head to try to clear the negativity and the sparkles from his skin glittered the room. He wouldn't normally be in this room during the day. He tended to avoid situations that reminded him of his difference to mortals but Harry had changed that. He was starting to teach Edward that his body was beautiful, that Edward was beautiful. Harry loved him and Harry was different too. He shook his head again and laughed to hear himself think like a lovesick girl. But if this was a sickness then he wasn't going to seek out a cure.
Harry had been so excited when he had left earlier. After the dramatic turn their lovemaking had taken they had both of them had needed some time to think. Not to regret, Harry had assured Edward when he had voiced this concern, but just to savour the truth of their relationship. They loved each other equally and this was going to last. Edwards's cheeks hurt from grinning.
Edward wondered what he was going to say to Alice. Surely his sister had seen them together in her visions? Had she seen everything that had passed between them? Had she seen her brother surrender himself to this young wizard? The way Edward had been utterly taken by Harry? If he could have blushed Edward would have done he was sure. But then there was nothing shameful in the things he and Harry had done together, they were in love. They'd talked for hours in the night, between the exploring of each other's bodies. Harry possessed Edward inside and out, had penetrated his body and his soul. He'd told him all about his family and their lifestyle, Carlisle and the decisions he'd made for his family. He'd told him about Bella and Harry had listened, nodding and encouraging the hard words coming from Edward's heart. Harry hadn't been jealous at all, Edward had searched his face carefully for any sign but Harry had explained that he'd decided to trust Edward completely. This, explained Harry tenderly as he stoked Edward's shining skin, meant that he couldn't be jealous of Edward's past. Harry was his future. Edward smiled again at this thought. He spoke of his family and Edward realised how alike they were, both orphans, both different from others, special. It had been hard to listen to the awful things that Harry had been through and at first his muscles had tensed under the glittering skin with the urge to hurt those who had made his beloved's life so difficult in his early years. Harry had smiled at this and hugged Edward to him.
'You don't need to defend me,' he had whispered into Edward's ear. 'I can look after myself, remember?' The magic had swirled from his hands, surrounding Edward in delicious tingles. That had been the end of the talking for a while.
'Now that's just not fair!' Edward jumped at the sound of Harry's voice behind him. Harry was leaning against the door frame, eyeing appreciatively his view of the naked Edward. How had Edward not heard Harry's approach? Harry saw the question in his eyes and held up his wand in answer. 'I cheated, 'he grinned.
'What's not fair?' smiled Edward slowly turning to face Harry. He knew what he was doing to the young wizard, the flush colouring his delicate skin was intoxicating. Harry sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
'No time for this. Damn.' He swore as he took a long look at the beautiful young man obviously happy to see him. 'Come on, get dressed, I've something to show you.' Reluctantly Edward grabbed some clothes and followed Harry to the back door. 'Stand right there,' Harry commanded pointing to a place where the dust motes danced in a shaft of brilliant sunshine. Edward did as he commanded never losing Harry's gaze. If this was some new experience, some new challenge in their relationship he was determined to face it head on. 'Look at you,' Harry breathed mesmerised by something on Edward's skin. 'Just look.' And Edward looked and saw that his skin no longer glittered. His body looked like Harry's, smooth and young, yes but without the tell tale sparkle that had kept him so long indoors. He gaped.
'My god. How did you...? What did you...?' for answer Harry held the wand aloft again.
'It's my gift to you.' He kissed Edward's cool lips passionately. 'Want to go for a walk?' Edward nodded mutely. Harry took his hand and led him outside into the brilliant sunshine. 'Take these,' he passed Edward a pair of sunglasses and put on his own. 'I didn't think you'd own any.' He said smiling at the astonishment on Edward's face. Edward turned to him.
'Stop.' He put out his hand and halted Harry in his steps. He turned the wizard to face him. 'Thank you,' he whispered, 'you have no idea how long I've...' words failed him. Tears splashed rivers down from his eyes and Harry collected them with his fingers and kissed the cold wet cheeks.
'I can imagine,' he whispered into Edward's mouth as he kissed him. 'You don't ever need to be in the dark anymore. I'm here now.' He took Edward's hand and strode down the path to the waiting world of the day.

Harry didn't know what to do first. They went back to the little bar where they had met only the night before. Edward was awed by the fact that his life had changed in so short a time. This young man had turned everything around, upside down and on its head. He loved him for it. As Harry drank some sparkling water he told Edward about his conversations with Hermione and Ron. Edward had laughed at the obvious pleasure Harry had in telling his friends about this new adventure he was having. It made Edward proud that he was the source of Harry's happiness. He couldn't take his eyes off his skin and he turned his hands this way and that trying to catch some sign that the sparkle was returning and it was time to go back.
'It won't happen,' Harry explained,' I've harnessed some of the sun's energy to keep the charm working. As long as it's sunny, you're safe.' He smiled, obviously pleased with himself. Edward returned the smile.
'Is it permanent?' he asked.
'No, just say the word and my gorgeous, glittering boyfriend is back.' Harry grinned. Boyfriend, thought Edward, sounded good coming from Harry's lips. He kissed them, hard and passionately.
'I can't believe you're real.' He whispered.
'Let's find somewhere secluded and I'll show you how real I am.' Smouldered Harry in return.
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((
Even in the shelter of the great tree Edward could not help but marvel over the change Harry had wrought over his body. He looked truly mortal, if a little pale. I wonder if I'll tan? He mused to himself. How he would have loved for Alice to see him tanned. He chuckled quietly at the thought.
'What?' asked Harry from where he lay against Edward's cold, hard body. 'Everything ok?'
'Everything's wonderful.' Edward said in a confident voice. 'But...'
'What?' Harry turned frowning, what was wrong? Edward took advantage of his confusion to grab Harry and rolled on top of him. His vampire strength easily conquered the young wizard. In an instant response Harry's magic began to seep out from his body, creating tendrils to weave around his lover's body.
'No.' Edward's voice was commanding. 'No magic this time. Let me be in charge.' Harry relaxed smiling and lay back with his arms behind his head.
'No problem.' He grinned at the beautiful young man sitting astride his legs. Edward began by wetting his lips with venom. He smiled down at Harry. This is what vampire prey must feel like the wizard thought as he saw the hot determination in the vampire's eyes. The hunger.
Effortlessly pinning Harry's arms above his head Edward lazily explored Harry's body with his free hand. Harry was already hard and he twisted in Edward's grasp as the vampire's cold hand settle near to the revealing bulge in his jeans. Harry's breath was coming in short, hard gasps and Edward smiled at the effect he was having on the boy. Even more alluring, he thought to himself, as this was just the effect Harry had on him.
'What do you want Harry?' he growled quietly into the ear of the trembling boy. Harry's eyes opened wide, this was a turnabout in the power of the relationship.
'You,' he whispered looking into Edward's eyes, noticing the red tinge that coloured them now.
'Not good enough,' growled Edward again, more menacing now. 'Be specific.' Harry swallowed but didn't answer. When Edward saw that Harry needed more encouragement he moved his hand untill just one finger touched the tightening bulge in Harry's trousers. Harry writhed involuntarily; trying to wriggle so Edward's hand was fully on him. It was no good, the vampire was too strong. He gritted his teet and moaned. Edward smiled a predator's smile. It made Harry wonder if he played with his food. He cleared his throat, feeling torn between his desire for Edward and his pride. He decided there was no competition.
'Touch me Edward,' he whispered gruffly, 'please,' he added hoping this would be enough. Edward smiled and nodded. His hand swept over Harry's erection, the feeling so pleasurable it was almost painful. Harry, confined by the tight denim, struggled to keep a grip on himself.
'Let go,' encouraged Edward, 'just give yourself over. Lie perfectly still,' he grinned wickedly. Harry's response was to relax in the vampire's grip. The movement of the cold hand became more and more insistent and Harry was nearer and nearer to orgasm when Edward stopped. Harry began to moan but Edward's hand over his mouth silenced him.
'Now might be time for magic!' he hissed as Harry noticed the direction of Edward's gaze. An elderly couple were picking their way amongst the trees. The old lady pushed a pram, proud grandparents on their day out. For a moment Harry's mind fluttered like a butterfly in a jar. The pressure from his body and the closeness he had felt to release clouded his mind. Then he gathered the magic over them like a blanket, borrowing the magic he had learnt from the cloak of invisibility. As the couple passed by Edward undid Harry's trousers and released the pressure on his longing body. Harry sighed in relief then gasped as Edward's teeth took hold of the rim of his shorts and ripped the fabric. Not giving Harry time to respond Edward took the length of him in his cold, tingling mouth. The powerful muscles of Edward's jaw, used to biting through flesh and bone to draw blood, now worked Harry's body into frenzy. He moved slowly at first feeling the pressure in Harry building. The boy lay as still as he could, he was behaving Edward's mind smiled, but even so the small jerks and thrusts betrayed the pleasure building inside him.
Edward stopped. He moved away from Harry, the cold air assaulting the flesh now burning with vampire venom and human need. He heard Harry swear under his breath. Edward's lips were at his ear.
'What do you want Harry?' he murmured, licking the skin where the blood beat wildly.
'Oh god.' Harry gasped out, his body still bucking beneath Edward. 'I want your mouth Edward.' Then he hurried on, worried this might not be enough to satisfy the dominating vampire. 'On me Edward, I want your mouth on me. Please, please.' He caught the edge of the vampire's grin as he flashed from his side, settling himself between Harry's legs. In a swift movement he swallowed Harry and then held very still. He put his hands beneath his lover, lifting his lower body up off the ground, helpless. Harry tried to move but Edward had other ideas. Using his own strength he moved Harry back and forth, taking control from the young wizard. Harry felt the unbearable pressure, the uncontrollable urge to give all of himself to Edward. He let go of himself into the vampire's hands. His orgasm rose towards him, he arched back into Edward's hands and came.
