Love in Motion- (OliverMarcus)

Around the World in 31 Days- Morocco ("Mistake? You really think you're a mistake?")

Oliver feels awkward and out of place as he walks among the pumpkin patch near Hagrid's hut. His secret meetings have always been tucked away beneath the stands of the Quidditch pitch or hiding away in the locker rooms. Now, out in the open where someone could pass by and see them, he feels horribly exposed.

"Thought you weren't coming." Marcus startles Oliver by stepping into his line of sight. The Gryffindor wonders how he hadn't noticed him sooner.

"Bit open, isn't it?" Oliver asks, gesturing around at the grounds.

Marcus shrugs but doesn't answer. If he's honest, Oliver is grateful for the silence. They're dancing around dangerous territory, and the wrong word can cause an explosion. After all, Marcus is the one who is so afraid their secret will come out one day; he's mocked Oliver for suggesting that maybe they could go on proper dates and be happy.

The Slytherin taps his fingers against the orange shell of the nearest pumpkin, seeming to lose himself in thought. After several seconds, he breaks the silence. "I wanted to apologize. You made a mistake when you first kissed me."

Oliver's jaw drops. It takes him a moment to collect himself as he takes in the other boy's words. It doesn't fit Marcus at all. He's so used to seeing his lover in all his sneering, arrogant glory. Seeing him so vulnerable is strange, but he moves closer, gripping his boyfriend gently by the wrist. "Mistake? You really think you're a mistake?"

Marcus scowls and jerks away, shoving his hands into his pockets. "What else could I be?"

Oliver rolls his eyes as so many answers flood his mind. An addiction, a rival, a friend, a lover, my everything. He cups Marcus' face and leans in, kissing him fiercely, trying to let all his unspoken thoughts reach his boyfriend in that kiss.

When they pull away, Marcus softens, but Oliver can still see the conflict in his dark eyes. "Why would you want this? I'm too scared to even call you mine in public."

"You have your reasons, and the timing isn't right," Oliver answers. "I don't care if I have to wait until we leave Hogwarts, or even after that. I love you, and you are worth waiting for."

Marcus holds him close, chuckling. "The Quidditch change room are empty," he murmurs.

Oliver shivers. "Meet you there."
