Settling Down
"Ah… Cor… MacCor! I'm delighted to see you again!"
Cormac chuckled as Gilderoy got his name wrong once again. He sat himself on a chair in the old professor's hospital room. "Your memory never ceases to amaze me, Gilderoy. They tell me it's getting better each day."
"Yes, yes," Gilderoy responded with his eyes looking elsewhere.
"I have some good news for you," Cormac continued. "I have been speaking with the healers and they have allowed you to move in with me as of tomorrow."
This caught the older man's attention. "Move in?"
"Yes," Cormac said, nodding enthusiastically. "With me. Of course, I had to promise I would also be your full time carer – along with lover – but they were satisfied."
Gilderoy scrunched up his nose. "Lover?"
"Yes. Don't you remember, Gilderoy? I have been coming to see you the past two years – every day without missing one. Then three months ago we confessed our feelings for one another."
"Ah, I see." Gilderoy frowned.
Cormac sighed. Gilderoy had forgotten only twice in the last three months of that moment. This made the third.
"We are finally able to settle down, my love." He reached out to take the older man's hand.
Gilderoy gave a sparkly grin and squeezed his hand back. "Oh, I very much look forward to living with you in a month!"
Cormac sighed, shaking his head. "Tomorrow."
"Yes, of course! Tomorrow!"
