Edward sat on the cold wooden floor of the room he now shared with Harry. The cold didn't bother him and he looked down as the small hairs on his skin caught the morning sun. No sparkle, no telling sign of his immortality. Harry had been right about his spell lasting as long as the sun continued to shine. Edward smiled, happy for the first time since those first days with Bella, before it had all got complicated and the truth became more and more apparent. He and Bella had different needs. How could he have ever expected her to understand him? She was a child after, all in comparison to his years in the world. As if in response to his thought Harry shifted in his sleep beside him. His sleep - warm leg settled next to Edward's long, cold limb. Harry was different; Edward knew that, Harry had told him all there was to tell about his life before Edward. It was these experiences that made Harry, mused Edward, watching the boy with affection. They'd both experienced so much, maybe this was why they knew they could trust each other. They had each found an equal.
Harry yawned widely. Through sleepy eyes he looked up at Edward, marvelling at the way the sun lit up his hair like a halo, even without the vampire sparkle Edward looked like an angel. Harry smiled to himself. His heart beat must have increased because Edward turned to look at him.
'When did I fall asleep?' asked Harry running his hands through his black hair.
'After the second time.' Edward smiled warmly 'I thought you needed the rest. Keep your energy up.' He chuckled softly.
'I'm starving!' announced Harry sitting up and throwing back the duvet.
'Mmm, me too.' Edward's grin was wicked as he leant in to kiss Harry hungrily with his cold lips. 'Come on, I'll buy you breakfast.' He loped to where his clothes were neatly folded and Harry's were thrown carelessly. Harry got up, stretching and yawning.
'Great, and then we can come back and deal with the other sort of hungry.' He winked.
Stopping in the doorway for a long kiss, Harry pulled Edward against him, magic swirled around them.
'Can breakfast wait?' murmured Edward.
'Nope,' Harry pushed Edward away playfully. 'Build up your appetite!' he grinned. Edward growled in his throat and followed him out into the sunshine. Behind them the house fell silent and still. Still apart from a delicately booted foot which stepped out from a room upstairs. White hands held up a wide petticoat and skirt as the boots descended carefully the rotting staircase.
