I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there.
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there.
Ooh then I suddenly see you,
Ooh did I tell you I need you
Ev'ry single day of life?
You didn't run, you didn't lie,
You knew I wanted just to hold you,
And had you gone, you knew in time
We'd meet again for I had to hold you.
Ooh you were meant to be near me,
Ooh and I want to hear me,
Say we'll be together ev'ry day.
Got to Get You into My Life - The Beatles
Edward stormed out of the schools front office, careful not to touch anything just in case his frustration got the better of him, he didn't know how he would explain a fist shape dent in a nearby locker. He replayed the scene over and over in his head but it seems all his mind wanted to remember was that absolutely breath taking smell from the silly human girl. He tried to reign in his anger as he passed through the main entrance and only slightly splintering the doors as he slammed them shut behind him.
Once he was outside of the building he allowed his frustration to take over his senses. He could have had one bite, one little sip of her blood and he would have been satisfied. Edward felt the venom pooling in his mouth as though it were saliva and he fought for dominance over the 'demon' part of himself. He knew that he wouldn't have been able to only take one bite. He would have fed and fed until she was dead and he wouldn't have been able to leave so many witnesses so he would have had to kill them too. Imagine...all that blood. All his.
Edward swallowed the venom and pulled his mind away from thoughts of human blood, in fact from thought of blood all together. Instead he imagined his Harry. His beautiful Harry, waiting for him with open arms and soft lips. Warm skin and soft body. Edward kicked a small pebble that was in his way and the small stone soared over the parking lot and landed in the nearby forest and with a swift glance around to make sure nobody had seen it he carried on his way to his Volvo.
His imagination was so good he conjured up Harry's smell. Some kind of mix between an earthy grassy smell and the smell of fresh rain in the summer. As he found himself drawing closer and closer to his car the smell from his imagination seemed to intensify. That was of course until he heard a heartbeat, and the soft breaths escaping a humans lips. The sound came from in front of him. Edward looked up in confusion and noticed the small figure laid out on the bonnet of a small blue Porsche parked next to his own silver Volvo, right at the other end of the car park.
Edward grinned and quickened his pace, not enough to seem un-human but enough to bring him closer to his little mate faster. There he was. Slightly tanned skin. Midnight black hair. Full lips. Long legs. And a pair of striking emerald eyes, which, at the moment, were hidden behind a pair of dark sunglasses. Even though the sun was no where in sight and rain was just beginning to dribble down idly.
"Hey you."
"Hey Eddie." Edward stood in front of the Porsche and waited for Harry to sit up but when the young wizard continued to lay flat he took a step closer and rested his hands on the Wizards slim thighs.
"You shouldn't be out here; it's not good for you in your condition."
"You sound like your father. I'm fine."
"Well, he is a very wise man. You would do well to follow his guidance." Harry pulled the glasses off his eyes with an impatient hand.
"What are you doing here?" Edward asked softly.
"Alice phoned me, she told me about you little predicament in biology," Edward looked at the ground slightly ashamed, "Hey, Eddie, don't be ashamed. I'm so proud of you." Harry took Edwards hand and held it tightly.
"I almost killed her, and everyone in that room."
"But you didn't and Carlisle, Esme and I are all proud of you." Edward smiled at his love who was still lounging on the car with his glasses on but Edward knew that the younger male was looking at him with those beautiful eyes.
"Why don't we talk in the car, so you don't get sick?"
"Spoilsport." Edward dragged him gently down the bonnet so that his feet were resting on the ground, "I told you I'm fine. Just a little sore from training is all." Harry sat up to face his love.
"You know I don't like your training methods."
"They suit me for now. I don't wanna start shooting dangerous hexes and curses at Luna if I can't control them."
"But still, an animated mannequin? That attacks?"
"Stop complaining or I'll be using you next time." Harry poked Edwards shoulder with a single finger.
"I'd like to see you try." Edward leaned closer slightly so he could offer the challenge.
"I bet I can get the help from your brothers." Harry closed a few more inches between them.
"I'm faster." Centimetres to go...
"I'm more powerful." Harry whispered.
"I love you."
"Merlin! I love you too." With that that rapidly decreasing gap was closed by two pairs of frantic lips meeting each other halfway. Harry gave a slight moan and allowed Edward to lift him slightly so the Vampire could have more access to his mouth.
"Harry-" Edward murmured while Harry tried to catch his breath a few minutes later, "We're in the school parking lot."
"I don't care." Was the answer he received before Harry pulled him back to his mouth. Edward heard the school bell ringing signalling the end of the school day, but Harry didn't seem to because he refused to let the American go.
"Students-?"
"They'll get over it." Harry whispered once again forcing Edward to kiss him again...not like he was attempting to resist considering his mate was currently pressed against him with their lips melded together perfectly. The Vampire could hear each thought passing through the other students' brains as they noticed the hot and elusive Edward Cullen making out with the out-of-towner in the parking lot. As well as the hot and elusive Edward Cullen being gay and in a relationship.
"Harry...Come on Sweet. Everybody's staring."
"Screw them-" Came the reply, to which Edward just chuckled and held Harry's body to his for a few moments longer in a tight hug.
"Will you come with me to do something?"
"Always."
"We can collect your car later right?" Edward nodded as Harry unlocked the car and handed Edward the keys.
"You're letting me drive?"
"You need to let off some steam, but if you crash it you'll be buying me five more to replace it."
"Noted." Harry kissed his cheek as they finally parted to go to the opposite sides of the car.
-----
"What are we doing here?" Edward asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well for one thing, I do still live here." Harry took the car keys from Edward and unlocked his house with an impatient turn of his wrist, "And there's a few things I need to pick up before we go." Edward dutifully followed Harry into the small house all the while giving his young mate a questioning look.
"And where exactly are we going?"
"England." Harry said off handedly as she shuffled few a few papers that Luna had left on the table that morning, "Do you know where Luna is?" The wizard asked.
"Dunno, she might be with Esme though, those two have really hit it off. Esme thinks of her as another daughter."
"Luna will like that, she's never really had a mother...Here they are." And Harry pulled out a couple of pages of thick parchment with a bunch of names, dates and addresses written in a fancy cursive script."
"What are they?"
"Addresses." Harry left the room to walk upstairs with the Vampire following like a gormless idiot.
"What are they for?" The brunette didn't answer, as he was too busy picking up various boxes and arranging them in order to fit them in a small backpack.
"Harry?"
"Hmm-"
"Are you going to answer me?"
"They are addresses to some of my ancestral homes back in England. I need them because I am going to be apparating to England and the only way the apparition goes untraced is if I do it on my own property."
"Why are you going to England?" Harry stood up straight and zipped the bag up.
"We. We are going to England because it's Emma's birthday today and she always gets up extra early." Edward caught Harry's wrist in a lose grip as he tried to walk past without an explanation, "She's like my little sister, I promised her I'd be there today. Anyway, this might be the last time I can give her a birthday present."
Edward pulled Harry closer and wrapped an arm around his waist. His other hand went straight to Harry's mop of messy hair and he began to card his fingers through slowly.
"Take a deep breath Harry and listen to what I'm about to tell you." Harry did as he was told and then looked up into dark eyes, obviously the girl's blood had affected him more then he cared to say, "You are not going to die. I refuse to allow you to die."
"I'm afraid that really is not your decision." Harry shook Edwards hand from his body and swept through the door. He bounded down the stairs and reached into the fridge to take out, what seemed to be, a very expensive looking birthday cake.
"When did you get that?"
"This morning, I had Luna order it for me last week." Edward took the cake when it looked like Harry was having difficulty balancing both the bag and the cake in his hands.
"So how are we going to do this?" Edward asked a few minutes later when Harry had the backpack on his back and an umbrella in his hands while Edward held the cake.
"Well I'll put my arms around you, spin slightly and then I'll apparate. You probably won't like it but it only lasts a second so don't panic too much. Oh and we might land either in a room or outside, all I can do is visualise the address since I've never been there."
Edward nodded and smiled once Harry's arms were around his waist.
"On three. One...Two..."
