Fizzing Whizbees Apartments, 2020

This was a familiar thing, Logan sitting on Leo’s lap as they tongue punched each other's faces on the couch while Tortilla sprawled out next to them grooming herself. They would stop a few times just to look at each other and giggle. Logan was moving unintentionally on Leo’s lap. Making him suffer more than Logan realized. Leo wasn’t hard yet so they didn’t stop but he was getting there. 

Logan could tell because his lover was getting a bit turned on by just how red his face was. They got home about a week ago from the Ravenclaw tournament and Leo having been so busy with school they haven’t had a chance for them to just hang out one on one. That left Logan with an important question on his tongue. He has been thinking about asking Leo to move in for a while, he basically lives there anyway so he didn’t see the issue, except the apartment he lives in now is closer to his school. Yeah, it's only like a couple blocks closer but Leo doesn’t have a car or anything and Logan is gone in the morning’s a lot because he goes to lift at the stadium. 

Leo pulls away and flops his head back over the back of the couch, panting and so so red. Logan smiles and leans forward, fitting his nose into the crook of Leo’s neck and leaving little wispy kisses. Leo lifts his hands from Logan’s hips up to his hair and takes it out of the bun he threw it up in earlier. His hair falls down and Leo just runs his fingers through the bottom half of his hair detangling it as gently as he can. 

“You didn’t get hard this time.” Logan smiles and Leo can feel it on his neck. 

“Too stressed.” 

“Really?” 

“Mhm, happens to the best of us.” Leo sighs and rests his cheek on Logan’s head. Logan feels so warm and smiley, he wishes they could stay like this forever. Then he remembers a promise Leo made in an elevator. Sitting up and placing his forearms on either side of Leo’s head and looking down at him. His eyes are closed and those light lashes are resting on his cheeks so softly, he notices how there are some lashes a lot lighter than the others. Reminds him of that weird white spot on his temple that has white hair. 

“Can I see your tattoo?” 

“You’ll have to sit up so I can take my shirt off.” Logan whines a bit annoyed. He didn’t want to move! He was comfy! 

“Can’t you just roll up your sleeve?” Leo smiles and shakes his head, Logan gorans and sits up a bit. “Can I take off your shirt?” Leo opens an eye and nods, lifting his arms up. Logan flutters his fingers under the hem of Leo’s shirt and he feels him flex. 

“You’re tickling me.” Logan laughs lightly and starts lifting up the shirt. He takes it all the way off and just stares at Leo’s arm. This tattoo was huge and creepy. “You look scared.” 

“It’s just more creepy than I was expecting with all the… organs.” 

“Yeah I can see that. Let me explain it.” Logan couldn't take his eyes off the ink, it had like hundreds of words in different languages in neat even rows going from his shoulder down to his wrist, there were spaces where two vertical pairs of eyes on the inside of his arm are. Two in the middle of his bicep and two in the middle of his forearm. “All the words are actually phrases, they are positive things I have said to myself over the years. Starting in Swedish, then the phrase is in Finnish, then Norwegian, then Icelandic, then Danish, then English, German, French, and finally Russian. That's why there are so many words. It's stuff like ‘I’m proud of you’ or ‘You’re okay’ stuff like that. The eyes represent how there have always been eyes on me since I was a baby. Whether it was caseworkers or baseball scouts. I’ve always been watched. Then if you look here.” Leo lifts his arm straight up and Logan sees on the back of his arm are still the words but also an anatomically correct heart on his upper arm and a correct brain on the back of his forearm. Logan noticed that the body parts were outlined in red as well as black, he can't remember if the eyes had it too. “Basically the heart and brain are there because my own feelings and thoughts have a tendency to contradict. Like too much. But I never knew which one to trust. Still don’t.” Leo puts his arm down and Logan reaches out to touch. The skin is still as soft as any forearm is but it's weird to watch his fingers run over what looks like ancient script on someone else's skin. 

“Why get such a big tattoo if you are just going to hide it?” 

“I got it for myself, I didn’t get it for everyone else.” Logan keeps running his hand all over Leo’s arm, like he doesn’t believe it's a real thing. Then he suddenly stops, looks into those pale eyes and finally asks the question. 

“Will you move in with me?” Leo doesn’t even pause before he answers.

“Yes.” 

They worked things out with Leo’s schedule, he would stay at Remus’ during the week and Logan’s during the weekends. It just worked the best that way. It took a few weeks for it all to fall into a good rhythm but they eventually got it. Remus would even stop by on friday nights and stay for dinner. Which was whatever Leo felt like making. Guy was a wizard in the kitchen but apparently made Remus cook for him all the time.

Leo has always wanted to go to a haunted house and pumpkin patch. He wanted to go into a corn maze and prove they were easy to get out of. He wanted to eat a fresh caramel apple and see if it was really as good as everyone said it was. He wasn’t a big fan of the flavor of pumpkin in sweets, he preferred carrot, but he was willing to try because he knows Logan loves sweet things. 

Whether it was drinks or snacks, Logan loved sweets. He also loved scary shit, he and Noelle always bond over their love of horror movies and just Halloween in general. Having hashed out plans to get away from slasher characters on their living room floor when they were younger. Logan is driving to a pumpkin patch that has an orchard and a haunted house, he was taking Leo there as a surprise. This patch is one of the places Finn took him in his rookie year and he's gone back a few times a year, every year. 

Leo has been exhausted lately and studying like crazy. He was currently asleep in the passenger seat with his well used notebook in his lap. He would wake up a bit whenever they would hit a bump in the road and fall right back asleep. Logan pulls up to a parking spot in the grass next to a big fuck off pick up truck and turns off the car. He unbuckles and shakes Leo’s shoulder. 

“Leo, we are here.” Leo lifts up his head and blinks a few times sniffling and rolling his shoulders before looking at Logan. 

“Where is here?” Leo’s accent was really thick because he was still sleepy and stretched his arms back over the headrest of his seat. 

“Well, you mentioned wanting to go to a pumpkin patch so we are at one.” Logan smiles when Leo does and grabs his phone off the stand on the dash. “Let's go, I want to go to the haunted house first.” Leo nods and they get out of the car. They link hands and walk towards the small house separating the pumpkins and the apple trees. 

The house was not scary in the slightest, Leo saw everything coming before it jumped out at them but he did love how Logan wouldn’t pay attention and get scared so he would cling to him. Leo fucking loved that so much. They exit the house and Logan is still wrapped around Leo’s arm. 

“Still spooked?” 

“I just need an excuse to be all cuddled up to you in public.” Logan looks up at him and smiles. 

“Why do you need an excuse?” Leo squeezes his hand and looks down smiling just a little because he couldn’t help it. 

“Well, we aren’t public and we never talked about it either.” 

“How about we don’t worry about the media and just be a couple, hm?” Leo leans down and kisses Logan’s forehead. 

“I… like that idea.” Logan cuddles up to him more and rubs his cheek on Leo’s arm. They walk over to a food stand that has everything to do with apples, getting cups of apple cider and Leo’s apple he wanted. It was wrapped in plastic and just plain caramel. Logan drags him over to the pumpkin stand and gets a pumpkin bar. They sit down at a picnic table and Logan just stares at the bar with frosting on it flexing his hands because he wasn’t given a fork. He hates, hates,  sticky stuff on his hands. Leo meanwhile is focused on unwrapping his apple and taking a bite. It strings soft caramel when he takes it away from his face. It was pretty fucking good, setting it down on the plastic he takes a drink of his cider and frowns. 

He did not like it. It was like hot cinnamon water and it was not enjoyable. He looks up at Logan who is just opening and closing his hands as he looks at his treat. 

“What's wrong?” 

“It’s going to make my hands sticky because I don't have a fork.” 

“You don’t like that?” Logan shakes his head, Leo thinks for a moment. 

“When Finn and I used to go get pretzels at the mall back in Harvard he would hold them and I would eat them so I didn’t get stuff on my hands.” 

“Want me to do that? I don’t mind.” Logan looks up at his boyfriend and sees the soft smile with a bit of caramel on the corner of his mouth. Logan would wipe it off but… sticky. 

“You would do that for me?” Logan just feels a warm feeling bloom in his chest and he puts his hands in his lap. That warm travels to his cheeks and he knows they are red but he could care less at this moment. 

“Of course! Come here.” Leo pats his side of the table and Logan gets up and moves to the same side of the table. He puts a hand on Leo’s thigh and opens when Leo holds the bar up to his face taking a bite. Leo sets the bar down to take a bite of his apple again. 

They continue this until their food is gone and Logan scarf down both their cups of apple cider. They go to pick apples, only getting a small bag full because Leo wants to make recipes with them. They go to pick out two pumpkins to carve and one to cook with. Leo picks out two smaller pumpkins and watches Logan pick the biggest fucking pumpkin and struggle to take it over to the til. Leo offered to carry it but Logan refused. Carrying it to the car and setting it on the trunk huffing. 

“Don’t you lift like everyday?” 

“Shut upppp!” Leo laughs and they put everything into the back of the car. They get into the vehicle to drive home and share a sweet kiss before they get buckled and start driving. 

It was a good week. 

Deathly Hallow Apartments, 2020

Before the door is even completely closed Kuny is against the wall with both of their bags at their feet. They are kissing frantically, hands grabbing wherever they can. Nado is basically trying to climb up his body. So, Kuny gives him what he wants and picks him up. 

It wasn’t the most graceful thing in the world. They were mid-walk as he picked Nado up, causing him to stumble a bit, basically pinning the other man into the frame of his bedroom door. They pull away from their energetic smooching to laugh. Pressing their foreheads together Kuny adjusts his grip. Taking his friend over to the bed he tosses him onto it. Watching Nado bounce a bit while still laughing. Kuny climbs between his legs and feels Nado’s hands scramble to try and take his clothes off but Kuny grabs his wrists and just holds them for a moment. 

“What’s wrong?” Nado is looking at him with those deep dark green eyes and a little bit of a flush on his cheeks, making his tan all that more glowy. There wasn’t anything wrong, he just liked to look. He also wanted to take things a bit slower, he didn’t want to hurt Nado and this was something completely new to him. 

“Nothing. I just want to take my time with you. I don’t want to rush this.” He reaches over and lifts’s Nado’s shirt off him with ease. Tracing over all the wild ink and color. He was soft but also bumpy along his chest and shoulders but it reminded Kuny that Nado was indeed a human and not a god. 

“Kunnnnnyyyyyy! You promised to fuck the life out of me!” Nado was tugging on his shirt and Kuny let him take it off him. He rolls his eyes and yanks Nado’s pants and underwear off before standing up and taking off the rest of his own clothes. He returns to his spot between those long legs. “Uns!” 

“Sh! We need to do this right or else I’ll hurt you because… well.” Jackson watches Kuny gesture to his groin and rolls his eyes. 

“Because of your massive cock, yes, I get it. But hurrrrryyyyy! I’m horny!” 

“I can tell.” Kuny jokes and puts his arm up as a pillow from the massive pile behind them comes flying at his face. Hitting it to the side and laughing he leans down and kisses Nado, pulling away before they get to into the heat of the moment. He lets his eyes rake over Nado once more and stops when he notices a tattoo he has never seen before. He runs his hand in the crease of Nado’s thigh and pushes his left leg open. “Do you have a tattoo… near your dick?” Kuny just looks at the tattoo so confused, imagining the pain that comes from getting a tattoo in the crease of your thigh. 

“Yeah, it’s a slug.”

“Why?” 

“I thought he was cute! His name is Stanley.” Nado smiles up at him with pride and Kuny can’t help but let out an amused huff. 

“You’re cute.” Kuny says and rummages around under the pillows on either side of the laughing man. He finds what he is looking for but loses his grip on it when he moves down Nado’s body. While Nado has his eyes closed from laughing he decides to give Nado a taste of his own medicine and swallow him down while he isn’t paying attention.

“UNS! FUCK! A LITTLE WARNING!” Jackson grips Kuny’s hair tightly, it was probably painful but he could care less at this very moment. Feeling his eyes unintentionally cross, he feels a heavy arm patting the bed next to him. He forces himself to focus and sees the hand trying to grab the lube that Kuny must have found under his pillow mountain earlier. Jackson picks it up, grabs Kuny’s hand and slaps the bottle in that large palm.  When did Kuny even learn how to suck dick!?

Jackson can hear himself letting out breathy moans but he isn’t really paying attention to anything other than the man between his legs. He once again feels Kuny moving and Jackson helps him out, lifting his legs to rest over Kuny’s broad shoulders. He relaxes, stretching out completely with his hands stretched out over his head. Then he is less relaxed. He feel’s fingers around just where he wants them and feels a loud moan fall from his mouth as two thick fingers push into him. 

Kuny was in heaven. He was listening to Nado moaning, for the first time not through their bedroom walls and it was from himself making Nado feel good. He used two fingers because he remembers talking to Nado about it one night when they were just watching shit TV on a sunday. Casual conversation, of course. Nado was crushing his head between his thighs and it was a wonderful feeling. He could feel his muscles tensing around his ears and fuck, was it addictive. 

“Kuny, I’m gonna cum if you don’t-” Jackson was not a person who came easily but he hasn’t had sex in what felt like forever. When in reality it was about three months. He feels that magical mouth pull off his dick and he whines unintentionally. He feels those fingers keep moving at a steady and light rhythm. 

“I’m doing four fingers.” Kuny looks up to see a confused look on Nado’s face. 

“Now!?” Jackson did not realize there were more fingers added, was he really that far gone already? 

“No,” Kuny chuckles and gives his inner thigh a small kiss. “ But that's what I will work up to because I really really don’t want to hurt you. Okay?” 

“No, it's going to take forever!” He chokes on his words when he feels pressure on his prostate making his legs jerk in different directions and his back arch off the bed. “OKAY! Okay! Take your time.” He takes a deep breath and keeps up the pattern of deep breaths to keep himself from finding the edge too soon. Just trying to figure out how Kuny knows what he's doing.

Kuny worked him open for a few minutes, they were both sweating and Nado was twitching, gripping the sheets as his knuckles turned white. Kuny slides in another finger and Nado looks like he was about to have a stroke. So he completely stopped moving his fingers all together. 

“KUNY! What the hell!?” 

“I want to watch you move.” Kuny lifts himself up so he is resting most of his weight in his forearm that is placed just above Nado’s shoulder. He sees the other man turn bright red and flop his arm over his eyes. Grumbling as he slowly starts to move his hips. “Nado, look at me.” 

It feels like Kuny is taunting him, so he lets out a huff and moves his arm from across his eyes to over his head, only to see those beautiful light brown eyes right in front of him. 

They kiss and he feels himself turn into a melted ice cream puddle. 

Kuny pushes in another finger knowing that Nado was ready for it a long time ago but he has been enjoying watching the other man just fall apart. Nado breaks their kiss to moan brokenly. Loving that sound he starts kissing up the taunt tattooed neck. 

“Just like that.” Kuny mumbles into the sweaty skin as Nado keeps his hips moving on their own. Kuny takes over once again but is only able to move his fingers in and out once before Nado is grabbing his wrist making him stop moving. “You okay?” The concern in his voice makes Nado smile. He cares about him and it makes him so happy.

“Y-yeah, I just don’t want to cum when you aren’t in me.” 

“... I’m literally inside you!”

“Not your fingers! Your cock!” Nado laughs a bit as Kuny chuckles into his neck. This pause has given him a bit of time to calm down and get away from the edge. Shivering as Kuny pulls his fingers out. He twists a bit to pop his hips and sighs as Kuny reaches into the side table to grab a condom and puts it on after throwing the wrapper over his shoulder. Kuny lubes himself up and wraps Nado’s legs around his waist, feeling him pull him closer. Obviously in a hurry to get fucked. 

Jackson was trying to hurry Kuny the fuck up without words and instead is bracketed in with Kuny putting his hands one either side of his head and looking down on him with this expression of cockiness. Which he has never seen from Kuny before. It was sexy as hell.

“I’m taking my time with you for a reason. But once you get comfortable, you better hold on.” Kuny pushes in about a quarter of the way and watches Nado’s face contrast from surprise to eyes-rolled back in pleasure as his mouth falls open. He slowly starts rocking only a bit of the way in and out as he lets Nado get used to him. Rough hands wrap around his wrists and Nado is just panting under him. Kuny pushes a bit more in and Nado chokes again. 

“Uns-” 

“Deep breaths, tell me when you’re ready.” Kuny keeps his slow pace using one of his hands to brush the hair off Nado’s forehead. “You’re beautiful” 

“You’re a fucking sap.” Jackson groans, looking up at Kuny who is staring back at him with the most loving look. That just makes him want to spill out those three words without hesitation… but he doesn’t. “Kuny-please!”

“Be patient” Kuny feel Nado’s heels digging into his booty trying to push him in more to bring him closer. So he gives Nado what he wants, how could he resist with a face like that. Kuny pushes in half way, leaning down to give Nado a sweet sweet kiss. 

“Is that all of you?” 

“Half”

“Oh thank GOD!” Jackson pushes his hips up and moans, wrapping his arms around Kuny’s neck pulling him in for more kisses. Laughing into the kisses, he makes the bigger man laugh as well, having a little giggle fit in the middle of them doing the horizontal tango. Seemed about right. Kuny pulls away and brushes the hair out of his face again because the mess-of-a-bun it's in has been flopping all over. His hands are sweaty so the hair gets a bit stuck to it and ends up pulling it a bit. 

“Ow!” 

“Sorry my hands are-”

“Do it again.” Kuny shakes his head a bit surprised and wants to say something but he doesn’t even know what to say. He just tugs lightly on that hair he loves so much, lacing his fingers in the bun. He pulls on his hair and pushes all the way in, with his hand pulling the hair holding Nado’s head back so his neck is completely exposed and he just goes to town sucking on those tattoos. 

“ILOVEYOUILOVEYOUILOVEYOU-OHFUCK!” Kuny was pounding into him for a good few minutes until Jackson’s head got the best of him and he spurted out those words he wanted to save for a special occasion. But now that he thinks about it, this is a special occasion. Kuny just stops moving when the words sink in around them and it annoys the hell out of Jackson. “Kuny! Please move!” 

Kuny does just that, pressing his face into Nado’s neck once again and just fucking the life out of him without stopping. No breaks, no pauses, nothing. He was going to show Nado that he loved him too even if he couldn’t get the words out at this very moment. Kuny feels Nado’s arm slide off from around him and go between them. His hips don’t slow down in the slightest. He was so close and he could feel it in his navel. 

Jackson reached between them, he really wanted to try and cum untouched but with how Kuny was starting to sloppily move he realized the teddy bear wasn’t going to last long enough for that. Guess they would have to do this again. He smiles to himself at the thought and starts jerking himself off quickly, his moans were getting higher pitched. He throws his head back and grips Kuny’s shoulder with his free hand as Kuny thrust a few more times incredibly hard just the way he likes it. 

They both cum around the same time and Kuny just puts all his weight on Nado, flopping his arms out. 

“I’m hot.” 

“Yes, you are. We should go again.” Jackson panted out not wanting this night to end.

“You’ll be too sore to do anything tomorrow.” Kuny mumbles behind his ear and kisses lightly. 

“Only thing I’m doing tomorrow is getting my tiddies pierced, oh and my tongue.” Jackson shifts a bit to get his arms out from between them, resting them above his head to cool down.

“You still have to sit.” 

“Maybe a little.” They both let out little amused breaths laying together in comfortable and sleepy silence. 

The next morning Jackson is sitting on the piercing chair, he went a couple hours early to chat with Marlene as she tattoos some guys thigh, then makes his way over to Mary who is stenciling up a new tattoo for a client who texted her an idea, and finally Andy who was just eating a granola bar and was happy to talk to him. Ink came in late and she is his normal piercer. She looked like shit if he was being honest. Pale, sweaty and tired. 

“Hi, sorry I’m late. It’s been a rough week. I had treatment a few days ago and just feel like shit.” She puts on her gloves and has him take off his shirt. 

“Treatment? Are you sick? Is everything okay?” She shakes her head and starts disinfecting his chest working quickly before sitting down on her swivel chair and scoots next to him. 

“No, June and I have been trying to have a baby for… a long time. It hasn’t been working.” She just looks so sad and he doesn’t really know how to respond and it appears she doesn’t want him to because she just gives him the rundown of after care for his new jewels. Then pierces him once he's ready. 

Feathered Hotel, 2020

Sirius was just about to head down to breakfast when a knock on his door stopped him. Who would be here at 6am the morning before the final games of the tournament? He opens his door with a hair tie in his mouth while one hand holds the ponytail he so carefully crafted before this intruder came to visit. 

“Hey, I left my-whoa!” Sirius pulls Remus into the room by the front of his yellow eagles shirt. Slapping his hair up in a way more messy than intended he regrabs that soft shirt, using his other hand to grab the back of the slightly taller man's head and bring him into a searing kiss. Remus makes a noise of surprise and throws his hands up for a second before relaxing. Resting his hands on Sirius’ shoulder blades he kisses back. “I was not expecting this.” He mumbles on Sirius’ lips making him smile. 

“I like surprises.” Sirius moves the hand holding onto the fabric so the crook of his elbow is at the side of the other’s neck. They both laugh a bit. Remus loses his balance for a second and they stumble back a couple steps. Pulling away they just look at each other before snickering. “Yellow is a good color on you.” 

“Thanks, it’s my team color.”  Remus kisses him again, running his tongue along Sirius’ bottom lip. Opening his mouth he feels a hand on his side, he flinches because it tickles. Remus hums a laugh and moves his hand to the small of his back instead. 

They make out for what seems like hours but was really only a few minutes because one of the twenty alarms Sirius has set on his phone goes off. It was the one he hit snooze on just before starting his hair. Five minute snooze. He steps back just a smidge to pull his phone out of his back pocket but when he reaches for it, it isn’t there and the alarm has stopped. 

“What?” 

“Right here hotshot.” Remus waves his phone in his face, smirking. 

“How did you…?” Remus chuckles at Sirius’ face and reaches around to slide his phone into the very pocket it came from. Giving it a little pat before stepping back and walking over to the dresser. He picks up the mysterious charging cord that Sirius found when he woke up. 

“I have a lot more tricks up my sleeve, Black. You just gotta be around me enough to figure out what they are.” Stuffing the cord in his shorts pocket he struts back over to the highly confused man and gives him a soft lingering kiss. “I’ll see you at the stadium.” With that he winks and walks out the door. Leaving Sirius floundering for words. 

Just like he was promised, he saw Remus at the stadium. Very up close and personal… in the family bathroom. He was snatched from the hallway when he stopped to check his phone. At this moment, Remus was sitting on the counter with his ankles hooked behind Sirius’ back and his hands on his cheek and neck. Sirius had his hands pressed against the weirdly warm countertop. He didn’t know what time it was and frankly he didn’t care. Their tongues run across each other smoothly, taking turns sucking on the others bottom lip, Sirius always ends up biting down playfully on Remus’ making him laugh and turn more pink than he already is. 

“You should probably go.” Remus says but he doesn’t let go or pull away. He couldn’t bear to. He just wanted this to be never ending. But air was in short supply. He pulls away only to let Sirius breath. Kissing down his neck, he smirks a bit before lightly nipping at his pulse point making Sirius jolt a bit. 

“What are you a vampire?” Remus lifts his head and smiles at just how red those tan cheeks are. Reaching up he tightens the pony tale that has started to slip. Resting his hands on top of Sirius’ that are on the counter. 

“Maybe I am, I bet it was your dream in highschool to be a vampire. I could see you as a twilight fan.” Remus smiles when he hears Sirius start laughing, leaning forward he puts the tips of his fingers under Sirius’ chin and kisses him, gently. “Better get moving, you have a game to win.”  He unhooks his legs from behind Sirius’ back and pushes him away with his feet on his thighs. Once Sirius was far enough away he swung his legs and waves. 

Sirius walks out of the bathroom, picking up his bag from the floor by the wall where it fell when he was so aggressively yanked. Hurrying to the locker room he gets inside and can’t wipe the smile off his face. It’s hurting his cheeks at this point. Getting dressed he just keeps playing those moments with Remus over and over and over again in his head. Ignoring anyone who tried to talk to him. 

He played one of the best games of the season that morning. God, he felt great. He could run a hundred miles if he wanted to. He was so excited to see Remus again, whenever that would be. It’s crazy how just a single thing can change the entire way you look at someone. But, did he think differently? Was this just something he hoped for, deep down he knew this was wrong and that he should stop. Walking in the empty halls of this maze-like stadium gave him time to think. Actually think about what he’s been doing. 

He wanted Remus in a physical way, he was strong and handsome and was more of a man than Sirius ever saw himself. His fluffy brown hair and killer glare always made his stomach do turns but he always thought it was because he hated him so much it made him sick to his stomach. Should he call things off? Go back to hating him because that was more widely accepted? He couldn’t have luxuries in his life like Remus… there was too much at stake. So, he made up his mind. He was going to call it off, or at least he thought he would. 

Familiar hands grab his shoulder from behind and lips that smelled like mango whispered in his ear. 

“Wanna make out?”

“Since when do you ask?” 

“Since this time it’s gonna take some finesse.” He felt himself getting led away down a dead end hall with a locked broom closet at the end. Remus stopped in front of the door and squatted down so he was eye level with the doorknob. He pulls out two hair pins and suddenly the door is unlocked. Pushing it open with the slightest touch of his fingers. 

“Where did you learn that!?” He blindly follows the other into the pitch black room. He lets out a little noise when he feels a hand on his chest and his back to the now closed door. He flinches when he feels a smirk touch his lips. 

“You seem to forget,” Remu’s pressed his whole body up against Sirius’ own, his breath caught in his lungs as he realizes just how trapped he is… it was wonderful. “I’m a criminal.” Lips meet again for what feels like the millionth time. It was frantic and rushed even if they had more time now than they did either of the other two times they smashed faces. 

Sirius threw his arms around Remus’s neck and lifted one of his legs to rest at Remus’ hip. He felt that strong hand grip his thigh pulling it higher, and Sirius just tried to pull him even closer. One of Remus’ forearms was against the door beside his head, the other hand was squeezing his thigh with every intense kiss they shared. Pulling away so the back of his head rested against the surface behind him, he was panting trying to catch his breath. 

“Did you really learn how to do that in school?” He groans quietly when he feels sloppy kisses leading up from his collar bone up to his jaw. 

“I never said in school, I just reminded you that I’m a bad guy.” A kiss. “A troublemaker.” Another. “Someone who people usually avoid.” A very intense kiss that makes him feel like his eyes are crossing and his leg tightens around Remus’ hip. “Fuck, you’re so good at this.” 

“Did you expect me not to be?” 

“I always thought you were kinda a prude so I didn’t have high hopes.” Sirius might not be able to see with just how dark it is but he knows that signature grin is on the other face right now. 

“I see where Leo learned it from.”

“What?”

“That look.” 

“You can’t even see me!” 

“I just know.” Remus laughs and kisses him again, moving his arm from by Sirius’ head to his other thigh and tugging at him. Sirius pulls away and grabs Remus’ shoulders. 

“You can not pick me up!” 

“Why not? You seem like the type who likes to be held.” Sirius fills his cheeks with air and feels his face start to burn. Thank god there isn’t light in this room. At least not one that's on. 

“I mean! We are basically the same size, you can’t just pick me up!” The hand on his raised thigh leaves and the body pressed so firm against his own leans back. He hears a little jingle before a click and suddenly the sun is burning his retinas. Once his eyes adjust to the dull bulb he realizes he is staring into two very determined brown ones. “What?” 

“You really don’t think I can lift my body weight?” The sass in that question let Sirius know that he said the wrong thing, but the smirk on Remus’ face let him know that it wasn’t a bad wrong. Grabbing his thighs again Remus pulls them out from under him at the sametime. Sirius feels himself fall and he grabs whatever part of Remus he could. Which so happened to be his hair. Remus huffs and puts his knee under his ass. “Maybe put your arms around my neck instead of trying to rip my hair out. I quite like my hair.” 

“Sorry.” He does as Remus suggests and the grip on his thighs turns into a grip on his ass, lifting up so they were eye level with each other now. “Cool.” Sirius kicks his legs a bit and smiles. 

“Thought you would like it.” Voices down the hall catch their attention, swiftly the light is turned off and a hand is put over Sirius’ mouth because he starts to verbally panic. The voices get closer and more familiar. 

“You’re sure no one is down here?” That was definitely Finn. 

“Why would they be?” And Clay. They were so screwed. The door handle turns and a push is felt. Remus just pushes harder against Sirius who tries his best not to make a noise. “Hmm, something is in front of the door.” Another push in and another push back. 

“There's another one two halls down. Wanna go there?” 

“Yeah, why not.” The voices of their friends dissipate as they scurry off, laughing and talking. Remus puts him down and once he knows for sure it's clear he starts laughing. 

“Let's get out of here.” 

He was drunk, his mind was racing and his emotions were dictating his actions. Standing in front of Remus’ room door he knew what he was doing was stupid and about to ruin everything he could ever want but it needed to be done. He couldn’t keep doing this. The fear of someone finding out, even worse his parents finding out, made him feel physically ill. He needed to end this no matter how much he actually wanted this. He couldn’t have it. He knocks, waiting for a while no one answers the door. He knocks again. Still no answer. He was getting frustrated. Maybe it would be easier just to start ignoring Remus all together. Never talking to him again. Avoiding being in the same space as him as much as possible. 

He knocked one more time. Waiting as long as he could with his heart beating out of his chest. No answer again, so he turned around and walked towards the stairs. Opening the door he felt it hit something. 

“OW! What the hell!” 

“Remus?” He sets into the stairwell and sees Remus rubbing his forehead. “Sorry, I didn’t know you were there.” 

“Don’t worry about it, I was just resetting my brain before heading to bed.” He smiles and reaches over Sirius’ shoulders to tighten his ponytail, a sentiment that was slowly becoming the norm for them. “Why were you on our floor anyway? Aren’t you up one?” He removed his hands from his hair and rested his elbows on Sirius’ shoulders, making the distance between them minute. His heart was fighting his ribcage again. 

“Y-yeah I am… Remus?” 

“Hmm?” He hummed, closing his eyes and resting his forehead to Sirius’. His cheeks were getting warm and he was starting to lose all train of thought besides the want to kiss the beauty in front of him. He clenches his fists and takes a deep breath. 

“We-MM!” Remus did it. He kisses him, just like he wanted. Sirius couldn’t help himself; he kissed back knowing this was the last time they would ever do this. The last time Sirius would allow himself to do this. He gripped Remus’s waist tightly, he didn’t want him to move away. Their lips move against each other with a rhythm so easy and relaxed that it could have made him cry. Their smacking was loud, ringing in his ears, with every passing moment he felt the anxiety in his stomach churn. 

He steps back, holding Remus arms length away from him. Panting while looking at the ground. Remus was going to hate him, never speak to him again. Tell James and Lily about everything they did and then they would leave him too. Fuck, he felt his eyes burn with salty tears, he’s never getting drunk again. 

“We can’t do this.” He felt Remus stiffen. He couldn’t look up. 

“What do you mean?” 

“Remus we can’t be together, we can’t keep sneaking around. We can’t.” Remus smacks his hands off his shoulders and Sirius looks up. 

“Hold on, wait. You started this shit. Then one day of us having a good time and getting along you fucking cut it off! Are you serious?! Don’t you dare make that fucking joke right now because I’m actually angry.” He wasn’t lying, Remus looked furious, his eyes were angry but also hurt, his arms were tense, his cheeks were red from the alcohol and his heightened emotions. He was so beautiful. 

“I didn’t mean to start it in the first place!”

“Then why did you go along with this!? You obviously want something!” 

“No Re-”

“Don’t say you don’t want it. I see the way you’ve changed around me, I know what you want but you’re too stubborn and scared to admit it! What is stopping you? Huh? What is it? Tell me!” Remus backed him up against the wall as he walked forward with every sentence. Making him feel trapped. Not in a good way this time. Sirius puts his hands on the angry man’s chest, just to keep distance between them because he knows if he gets too close he will fall into his desire again. 

“It’s wrong!” 

“Wrong? I thought you supported our friends.” 

“It’s not wrong to be gay… it's wrong for us to be together! We hate each other. All we do is fight and when we don’t it’s because we are trying to keep the peace around James and Lily! Remus, I don’t want this. I don’t want… you.” Sirius knew what he said hurt, it hurt him too. He watched that face he learned to enjoy so much fall. Remus backs up away from him. His hands fall from the other's chest to his side. 

Then he was gone. 

Feathered Hotel, 2020

Clay was sitting on his brother's bed, tossing a baseball up towards the ceiling and catching it while Leo got ready for bed. They were just talking about their schedules with school now that baseball was over. 

“Kan vi studera på onsdagskvällar? Det är de enda dagar då Reg och jag inte har kvällslektioner.” 

“Ja, vilken kväll som helst skulle fungera förutom torsdag. Min ryska lektion är på torsdagskvällar.” Leo is brushing his teeth so his voice was all gurgly. 

“Tar du examen i förtid? Som tre år i stället för två?” He and Reg were both aiming for that but his brother really liked school so he didn’t know if he wanted to keep going or not. 

“Ja, jag-” THe door bursts open making both of them jump. Clay drops the ball on the ground and Leo chokes on his toothpaste. Remus storms in, throws himself on the bed and lets out a very distressed scream into his pillow. Leo comes out of the bathroom to lean against the doorway. “Remus?” 

He just screams again, the brothers share a look. Clay picks up his baseball and moves to sit on the edge of the bed facing the screamer while Leo goes to rinse out his mouth. 

“Remus, what's going on.” 

“I HATE THEM! I FUCKING HATE THEM!” Remus’ muffled yelling is very intense. Leo comes out of the bathroom, he sits down next to Remus and rubs his back. 

“Who do you hate?” It's silent for a moment before Remus sits up and swings his legs over the side of the bed just about kicking Leo in the face as he does so. His hair is sticking up like a mad scientist with how staticky he is. 

“I was maybe possibly starting a relationship with a-a-a… girl?” 

“You don’t seem so certain.” 

“Shut the fuck up! Anyway, I was starting a relationship with this girl and I was having a great time sneaking around with her today. Yesterday she kissed me for the first time and even if it was a fucking shitty pathetic kiss I was so happy. I was so. Fucking. Happy!” Remus stands up and starts pacing between the beds. Clay and Leo watch him pace getting more and more confused by the second. 

“What happened?” Clay asks knowing that Remus needed to get it off his chest. This just reminded him of when Cam found out that the girl he fell in love with at first sight was actually just using him for money. He was a mess and is still affected by that today. So, he knew that Remus needed to talk about this.

“I don’t know what I did wrong but…she said we couldn’t keep doing that.”

“After one day?” 

“After one day! Not even a full fucking day. I don’t know what happened, we were laughing and talking and just being nice to each other for once when we would sneak off but, I guess I fucked up somewhere along the line. I knew she was selfish and stubborn and a fucking idiot. But I didn’t think she would be such an asshole! A fucking jerk.” Remus was panting as he walked, his face was red with anger and his eyes were full of hot tears threatening to fall. Eventually he stopped pacing and sat on the end of his bed with his back facing them. 

“She must have been someone you really liked for you to be this worked up over a one day thing.” 

“That's the thing, I don’t even like them! I hate them! I’ve hated their guts forever! So why does this hurt so much…” He sounded so sad all the sudden. 

“Who is she?” Leo moves down the bed to place a comforting arm on his friend's shoulder. “Anyone we know?” 

“...No, you wouldn’t know her.”

“Describe her, we might.” Clay says as he gets up and sits on the other side of Remus who is just looking at his hands. Looking like he was calculating. 

“Really long curly hair, light blue eyes a shade or two darker than Leo’s, tall but not taller than me, stubborn, athletic, snobby, a prude.” He sighs and puts his hand on his face. 

“She sounds like a real winner.” Clay says sarcastically, Remus cracks a smile when he flops his hands back down on his legs. 

“Yeah, but I guess I wasn't the prize.” They all sit there for a moment before Remus stands again. “I’m gonna go shower, wash those memories away. They don’t matter now.” Remus walks off to the bathroom, closing the door gently. 

“Han är verkligen inte okej.” Clay looks at Leo who nods. 

“Låt honom få tid för sig själv, jag följer med dig till ditt rum.” They get up, Clay grabs his phone off Leo’s bed along with his vape and they walk down the hall, up the stairs and down another hall the other way to Clay’s room. In silence. Clay sighs and smiles a little at his brother. 

“He will be okay, we can make him sweets when we get home. Something to make him feel better.” They part ways, Clay going into his room where Reg is laying on his bed looking at something on his phone with his vape hanging out of his mouth and his leg hanging off the side of the bed. 

“Sup.” Clay says walking over to his own bed and flopping down on his back before turning on his side to look at his best friend. “When we get home tomorrow are we deep cleaning the apartment?”

“Probably should, I might go over to Sirius’ though. Something happened with some girl and he was texting me nonsense a few minutes ago.”

“Remus also got heartbroken today. I didn’t even know he was dating someone.” 

“I didn’t know my brother was either. I wonder if maybe….” They both look at each other having formed the same idea. Speaking at the sametime. 

“They were going after the same girl.” They collectively sigh. Reg flops his arms out to his sides so his phone is in his fingers over the edge of the bed. Clay picks at the loose string on the decorative blanket of the bed. 

“They always compete with everything, why did they have to compete over a pair of tits?” Reg sits up and groans frustrated. “You know when Sirius was drafted he completely cut me off? Then when I was drafted I went to his apartment and yelled at him. It ended up with us talking about how he hates Remus for like three hours. So fucking annoying!” Reg gets up and starts changing into his sleep clothes. Clay just hummed. 

“Do they only hate each other because of how the media twists them? Because I have witnessed them being friendly to each other and I don’t see why they can’t get along.” 

“James and Lily have asked them to be friends because they are expecting a mini version of them. So, yeah they are starting to be more friendly but Sirius still just fucking complains and its so exhusting.” Reg gets under his blankets after turning off the one light in the room and turns on the lamp. Clay scoots under his blankets as well, cringing at how his leg hair is sticking to the blankets from the static. 

“Oh, did you hear that Crouch and Riddle got into an argument!” Clay plugs his phone in and puts it under his pillow. “No one knows what it was about but apparently it was a huge argument.” 

“When doesn’t Tom cause drama?” 

“I mean, true but usually it's never with a coach.” 

“You sure about that?” 

“I thought so, him and Igor are like best friends.” 

“Igor just sucks Tom off because Tom is scary and a great player.” 

“I like Igor, he’s nice to me.” 

“He’s a good coach but a lot of people don’t like him because on the surface he seems so cruel but he’s a nice guy.” 

“Helped me meet my best friend.” 

“Awww that’s so gross, don’t ever say that again.” Clay just starts laughing at what Reg said and he can see Reg trying to hide his own smile. “Also, if Thomas and Noelle are going to keep randomly showing up to the house drunk to find you I’m going to ban them from coming over.” 

“They don’t mean any harm, you know that.” 

“I like them but I’m also tired of them stumbling in and stealing you away for you to return hours later with bags of stuff they bought for you.” 

“I mean they just feel like they owe me stuff because I got them together… I think.” 

They were laying in the yard of the hotel, looking at the stars and also at the rooms of the hotel turning off their lights. Thomas was a bit more drunk than Noelle was, holding her hand in the grass between them with his other hand behind his head. She had her free arm just stretched out above her head picking at the grass. 

“I appreciate you meeting my family, I know they can be a bit much.” Thomas watches as another hotel room light goes out on the third floor. 

“I liked your family, they were fun. Your grandma sure is a character.” Noelle pops her gum that she has been chewing for hours and really has no flavor anymore. 

“Yeah, she has always been nosey when it comes to relationships. Wants us all to be like her and Pawpaw Jer.” 

“It’s sweet, she just wants to share a good experience she had. But if she were to literally share it with you that would be disgusting.” They both chuckle a bit. 

“She is determined that one of us ended up like her, and I was always told to ignore her when she starts suggesting I try polyamory. My parents always thought it was a bit weird.” 

“I’ve heard of it but I never really looked into it, I always thought it was kind of shady. Like a way to cheat but not label it as cheating. A way to make people have like orgys and stuff. I don’t know, it’s just kind of weird. I don’t know how you can have a healthy relationship while having multiple relationships.” 

“When Nana talks about it she always looks like she is looking back at the fondest memories she has ever had. Her and Pawpaw were in a relationship with another couple for… I don’t know, years maybe. But Pawpaw died and she lost touch with the other couple.” 

“That's really sad. I see why she wants her family to experience that. It’s a lot of love she lost.” 

“You think they all loved each other? I always thought it was just for sex.”

“Well, doesn’t a relationship need love? Whether it’s a couple or a poly relationship?” 

“It's called a polycule and I guess you’re right.” 

“If you were ever in a polycule, who would it be with?” 

“You obviously.” Noelle laughs at him. “What? It’s true! Who would you?” 

“Well, you for one. But if it's a poly thing then we would need at the very least another person.” Thomas looks at her and raises an eyebrow telling her to go on. “I think Remus would be nice. He’s good looking and funny.” 

“Seriously, my team captain?” Noelle laughs and lets go of his hand to roll over and rest her head on his chest, tracing her finger up and down his chest. 

“Well, who would you want?” She asks, looking up at him to see him still staring at the hotel windows. 

“Clay.” They are quiet for a minute before Thomas realizes what he said. “Wait no! I mean umm a-”

“Thomas, it’s okay.”

“But I’m not gay!” 

“You can like a man and not be gay, I mean you’re obsessed with Micheal B. Jordan.” 

“Hey, I admire him. I don’t have a crush on him.” 

“Yeah sure, and I totally don’t have a crush on Kristen Stewart.” 

“I mean, I don’t have feelings for Clay. He just gets along with us really well.” 

Feathered Hotel, 2020

Leo was warm, having drank a couple drinks he was just happy to be lounging on one of the fancy couches in the lobby with his boyfriend under his arm who was very cuddly, surrounded by his friends just talking. Remus and Reg were on either side of them on the couch with Nado, Kuny, Sirius, James, and Lily all pulling up chairs while Thomas, Noelle, Finn and Clay all sat on the ground. They were across the room from the bar but a nice lady kept bringing them drinks when they asked. Maybe they hired her for the night because he doesn’t remember that being an option the past few days he's been here. 

“No way! The Percy Jackson books were way better than the Henry Puffer books!” Thomas and Finn were currently arguing over something he could give less of a shit of. He read the Percy Jackson books and hated them with every fiber of his being. As someone who is from a family where they actually practice that stuff. He never read the Henry Puffer books because they bored him. 

“No Henry Puffer was better because it was longer, I got more out of it.” 

“Percy Jackson was more fun to read and didn't just focus on some kid who was basically handed everything on a gold plate because he was “the chosen one” it was lame.” Finn faces him, his thigh resting on Leo’s foot which was kind of annoying. Logan wasn’t paying attention to them at all, just scrolling on tiktok on his phone, his FYP was mostly sports stuff but also strangely enough… FNAF. 

“Hey can we talk about something different? Maybe play a game or something before these two idiots tear each other faces off?” Reg says with everyone else agreeing and the two idiots just grumbling about how now one else understands them. 

“What game do we play?” Sirius asks.

“Something not childish.” Remus throws in. Leo takes this as his chance. 

“Well, I know it’s not not childish but I’ve never played Never Have I Ever before.” 

“Neither have I.” Clay looks at his brother and smiles before leaning his head on Finn's shoulder. 

“I mean it isn’t a bad game, we can play. Just take a drink every time you’ve done something someone else hasn’t. Who wants to go first.” James is pointing at everyone before he stops on Reg. “How about little ole Regulus.” 

“Okay, Never have I ever had sex.” He smiles as he watches everyone drink, everyone except Leo and Logan. “Hey did you hear me?” 

“Yeah, I heard you.” Leo says and Logan nods. 

“You two have been together for months and you haven’t had sex?” Finn looks at them surprised. 

“Nope. Does that mean we are next?” Logan stretches his arms over his head and sits up more, bringing his feet underneath him. 

“One of you.” James puts his arm around his pregnant wife who is drinking water with a bit of mio tonight. She looked tired but happy. 

“Umm, Okay! Never have I ever… had surgery?” Leo tried to think of something he’s never done and that was the first thing that came to mind. He watches as Sirius and Reg both drink along with Lily and Remus. “Stories?” 

“Tonsils.” Reg and Sirius say at the same time. 

“I had a nose job.” Lily states, James looks at her confused. 

“I didn’t know that.” 

“It was for my deviated septum.” She kisses his cheek smiling. He nods for a second before looking back into the group. 

“Broken collar bone, my gallbladder was removed and I had to have my nose fixed.” He swirls his drink around, looking up to see them all staring at him. “Okay and I broke my fist too so there was that, and wisdom teeth, almost forgot.” 

“Oh I forgot that counts.” Thomas takes a drink along with Noelle and Finn. Remus just smiles a little. 

“My turn!” Kuny says his goal is to get Leo to drink and he knows a great way to do that. “Never have I ever Flirted with a friend so terrible that she stopped being friends with me and now runs the largest Instagram fanpage for me.” He sits there and smiles while Leo glares. 

“Is that even allowed!?” He takes a drink. Snickering ensues and he just sighs, plopping his cheek on Logan’s head. 

“I’ll go.” Sirius says, “Let’s see, never have I ever done illegal drugs.” Everyone drinks but him. “You guys are terrible influences. Especially you.” He points at Reg. 

“Wh- me!? I tried them with Clay!” 

“I just didn’t want you to be a hard-ass like your brother.” Clay says nonchalantly. “No offense Sirius.” 

“A little taken.” Sirius watches the young player shrug. He rolls his eyes. “Who wants to go next?” Finn hums like he is thinking and everyone waits for him. 

“Never have I ever,” He looks at Logan and smirks. “Committed arson.” Remus, Lily, Reg, and Logan all drink. Leo turns to his boyfriend and friend a bit shocked.

“When!?” 

“After I moved out I burned my parents' invasive bushes.” Reg says. 

“I burned down a billboard on the highway that said some creepy ass shit about abortions, Noelle was there! Why didn’t you drink?” Logan exclaims. 

“I didn’t commit arson, I was just a witness.” Logan just rolls his eyes. 

“I’ll go next. Never have I ever cheated in Uno.” Thomas slurs out. Everyone but him drinks and he just sits there shocked. Leo watches him become a bit teary because he's drunk and puts his face on Noelle's shoulder. “I knew you were all liars.” 

“Never have I ever gotten a tattoo.” James says, he obviously isn’t waiting for anyone to decide his turn anymore. Noelle, Logan, Leo, Clay, Reg, and Remus all drink. James raises an eyebrow at them all waiting for explanations. 

“I have a stick and poke on my neck, it just looks like a blob now. Used to be a micro skull.” Remus lifts his glass to James before taking his drink. James then looks at Reg. 

“I have a smiley face on my right ass cheek. Got it when I was drunk in highschool.” Sirius just shakes his head at his little brother. 

“I have Icarus and the sun because that’s the story my Mam always compares me to.” He lifts up his shirt  a beautiful greek style black and white tattoo of Icarus flying towards the sun on the right side of his chest. Icarus stretching from the center to the left side. 

“Wow… does Leo have a matching one?” Thomas says as Clay puts his shirt back down. 

“No, mine is different and I won’t be showing it. I think Remus is the only one here who has seen it all. Thomas has maybe caught a glimpse in the locker room. It’s the reason why I am always either wearing long sleeves or my compression sleeve. It's an entire arm's sleeve and that's all I will say.”  Leo wraps his arm around Logan once again after leaning forward to set his glass down. 

“Logan hasn’t seen it?” Reg asks and Logan just shakes his head. “Alright then. What’s yours Logan?” He lifts up his shirt and on his hip you can see the outline of a thick sun, eight dots representing the rays of the sun and a crescent moon underneath it. 

“It's a symbol for harmony, Noelle has the same one at the base of her neck.” He gestures towards her, she is wearing a tank top so she just points to it and Reg smiles. “It’s an important thing in our family. It’s a native symbol my mom's entire family has as well. 

“Clay, do you want to go next?” James says, Clay hasn’t been saying much which isn’t like him. Clay and James became really close friends after Clay beat James in a shot contest. Ever since then they have been close in the, I am gonna bully you and if anyone else does I'll throw hands, type of way. 

“Never have I ever… uh… been cheated on?” Nado and Remus are the only two to drink. “That's good, I’d be worried if more of you had that experience. What happened?” He looks at Nado. 

“I didn’t realize they wanted an open relationship… so I found them with someone else. I’m not mad about it, it was just a big miscommunication.” He leans back in his chair and crosses his legs. “No biggie.” 

“What's a biggie?” Leo and Clay speak at the same time. 

“No big deal is what no biggie means.” 

“Ohhhh.” They all look at Remus. 

“High school drama. I was dating someone and they wanted to fuck around so they did without telling me.” He stands up yawning. “I think I’m gonna head to bed. Goodnight guys.” He finished his drink before heading towards the elevator. Sirius, James and Lily followed not long after. 

“Wanna go to bed?” Leo looks down at Logan who is already dozing off, he shakes him a tiny bit watching his eyes flutter back open. He smiles, Logan’s long lashes still covering most of his eyes from this angle. “Let's get you to bed yeah?” Logan nods and stands up, twisting his torso cracking his back. 

“Let's go.” Logan starts walking towards the elevators and as soon as Leo catches up to him he has fused himself to Leo’s side under his arm. Leo just smiles, they stand in the elevator after picking the third floor. Their silence is welcomed with how loud it was downstairs. Logan was rubbing his cheek on Leo’s shirt, his arm was around his waist and pressing his fingers into Leo’s side as if playing the piano. 

“Can I see your tattoo?” Leo looks down at the other man, he runs his fingers through Logan’s hair, scratching his scalp lightly as he does. 

“Maybe tomorrow, at your place. Is that okay?” Logan nods and yawns, making Leo yawn too. They walk out of the elevator down to Logan’s room which he shares with Finn, they go inside and Logan flops face first on the bed, his hair flying everywhere. Leo sits on the edge of the bed and pats his back. “You need to change.” 

“I’ll sleep in this.” Logan speaks into the bed and kicks his slides off the end of it. Leo helps him under the covers, tucking him in around the sides as Logan starts to drift off again, his face smashed into the soft hotel pillow. He leans over and kisses his forehead. “I love you.” Logan mumbles. Leo stands there for a second, smiling to himself. He didn’t know if Logan would even remember saying that in the morning, it was the first time he ever said it to Leo. 

He would cherish it forever. 

“I love you too, and I’ve been dying to say that.” he whispers, watching his lover's face relax as he fully falls asleep. Not being able to help himself he kisses that soft tan cheek again before leaving to go to his own room. 

He felt like he was walking on clouds. 

Feathered Hotel, 2020

They were back in Jackson’s hotel room, his roommate was out for a bit longer that night. He was lying down between Kuny’s legs, back to chest, with his head on his chest as he watched the other man play animal crossing on his yellow switch. 

“Go punch a villager.” He suggests and feels an amused breath on the top of his head before feeling a soft kiss on the same spot. 

“I like my villagers, I don’t want to hit them.” 

“Please, for me!” He tips his head back to pout up at Kuny who just shakes his head, his lips twitching up just a bit. He keeps pouting until Kuny sighs.

“Okay, pick one.” Jackson smiles and looks around as Kuny’s character who is dressed to the max in random shit runs around collecting junk from the ground. He passes a couple villagers that don’t seem that interesting, then he sees a stupid looking cat and snorts. 

“That one.” 

“I’m not hitting Raymond! He’s the best villager I have!” 

“No Ankha is, now hit him with your net!” 

“You only like her because she frowns all the time.” 

“And?” 

“... Fine.” Jackson smiles as he watches Kuny smack Raymond over the head with a net. Laughing at how dumb this all is. 

“Oh god, I always thought this game was stupid but I’m starting to love it.” 

“I was never allowed to play videogames when I was a kid so coming to America I really gamed a lot.” Jackson looks up again, Kuny wasn’t allowed to do really anything as a kid. He has learned over the past few months of living with him that he wasn’t allowed to watch TV much or really have any fun. His mom was the one who put him in baseball and Kuny hated it because his dad hated it. 

“Well, now you can do anything you want. What else do you want to do that you never got to as a kid.” 

“Watch movies, mostly like Disney and what's the other one?” 

“Pixar? Dreamworks?” 

“Yeah those. I want to watch them.” 

“I can get a Disney Plus subscription and we can watch them all.” Kuny stops playing for a moment, leaning forward he keeps his switch in one hand and hugs Nado tightly around the neck. “What's this?” 

“Thank you… Really Nado, thank you.” They stay there like that, minutes pass, Nado just holds Kuny’s arms and relaxes. “You’re amazing… but we can’t watch any until a special day.”

“You’re a sweetass, now let's hit Raymond again!” 

“So violent.” 

“You like it though.” They move back to how they were before and Kuny fuflills his wish of hitting Raymond again. Jackson laughs and wiggles around as he does. “Can I play for a bit?” He sits up a bit more so his back is to Kuny’s chest. 

“You’re just going to be mean to my villagers!” Kuny rests his chin on Jackosn’s shoulder and just watches his screen as he starts fishing. 

“If I promise that I won’t can I? I wanna fish.” Thinking about it for a few ticks of the clock Kuny sighs and hands him the switch. “For real!” 

“I’ll take it away once you bop someone.” Nado takes the device from him, he rests his arms around the other’s waist and watches him try to figure out how to fish. He was sleepy, it was a long night. He had a good time but not only was his social battery drained but so was his physical one. He closes his eyes for a split second. 

Jackson is wandering around Kuny’s little village, it was so sweet and bright just like the man sitting behind him. He looks over at the brunette and smiles. He was asleep, face completely at peace. He reaches his hand back and twirls one of those loose curls in his fingers, tugging slightly. He doesn’t wake. Cute. Nado just gets comfy and keeps playing, bonking anyone in his way as he goes to catch butterflies. Eventually he gets bored and turns off the hand held tossing it on the bed beside them. 

“Uns, we should go to sleep.” He shakes his shoulder a bit making the other scrunch his nose and huff. 

“I am sleeping. “ He buries his face into the crook of Nado’s neck and takes a deep breath. “Comfy.” 

“”You’re gonna get a crick in your neck and you aren’t in your room. Kim could be back any minute and I doubt he wants to walk in on us all cuddled up.” 

“He’d be so lucky.” Nado goes to move away and the most embarrassing whine comes from him as the cold air of the hotel room hits him. “I’m tired. I don’t wanna go all the way down  stairs.” 

“It’s one floor and there is an elevator. If you want I can go with you.” Jackson watches as Kuny basically turns to liquid, getting himself off the bed. Finding his shoes he puts them on as Kuny does the same. They go out to the elevators. Pressing the button they wait in silence, Kuny playing on his phone while Jackson looks out the large window to the city covered in lights. 

They both look back when a ding rings their ears. Kim walks out, nodding at them before walking down the hall. They get on the elevator and as soon as the doors close Kuny is falling into Nado’s arms trapping him against the wall. 

“Oof, a little warning would have been nice.” Jackson lets Kuny lay on him vertically even if it’s slightly cutting off his airflow, patting his butt for fun to the rhythm of some random song in his head. His butt was so firm. They were only going down one floor so when they heard that familiar ding again Kuny stepped away. He looked so exhausted. 

They get to his room that he shares with James and once again, Jackson is squashed, this time he is pushed on the bed and landed on top of. 

“Moose, you’re so heavy.” He strains, he's laying on his stomach with Kuny laying on his back on top of him. 

“You like it though.” He mocks. Jackson just rolls his eyes and turns over making Kuny flops on his side. “Stay with me tonight? James is staying in Lily’s room.” Kuny rolls over so he is spooning him. “Please.” 

“I need to go back to my room, but I’ll stay until you’re asleep.” He moves a bit to get more comfortable, smiling as Kuny breathes on the back of his neck while his hand is sprawled on his diaphragm. 

They lay there together, just enjoying the company of another person. Both of them close their eyes and just relax. Kuny was already half asleep. 

“Do you think I’ll meet your family someday?” Kuny whispers, his lips brushing the hair on the back of Nado’s neck. “Can you tell me about them?” 

“They want to meet you, especially my younger brother. He’s about 16 now, turns 17 the day before Thanksgiving this year.” Kuny hums and Jackson decides to keep going. “My parents are divorced, they still have a really good relationship though. Have been friends since elementary school. Got married, had three kids and realized they didn’t love each other like that. They had my sister and I really young. Then my brother when I was 12 and my sister was 14.” 

“What are their names?” 

“Mom’s name is Sally, Dad’s name is Kent. My sister is called Marci but her real name is Marcelli. Younger brother is Donavan.” 

“Marcelli, Jackson and Donavan. Those are nice names.” 

“My mom got remarried after I got drafted, his name is Mich. He’s really nice and actually good friends with my dad so he was the best man at their wedding. Dad never got remarried but he has been dating a woman he went to college with for a long time. Her name is Gwen. I think she has two kids of her own but I’ve never gotten the chance to meet them.” 

“Your family sounds so nice.” 

“Yeah. My sister actually quit her job recently to go to beauty school, every time she visits me she does my hair in some ridiculous style.” 

“I bet you look beautiful.” 

“What about your family?” 

“... Mom doesn’t work. Dad works in the gold mines across the country.” 

“Siblings?” 

“Just me.” Jackson nods and moves his hand on top of the large one on his abdomen. 

“I talk to my family about you all the time.” He feels Kuny huff a smile on his neck. “I told them you’re annoying and stinky.” 

“Glad you think so highly of me.” 

“I also told them,” He rolls over and faces Kuny cupping his warm cheek. “That you’re smart and funny, you take care of me and when you need help you ask instead of trying to figure it out by yourself. You smile when you see me no matter how I look… you care about me.” Kuny opens his eyes and looks directly in Jackson’s own. 

Indicolite Stadium, Ravenclaw, Hogwarts 2020

He was jittery, not on the outside but on the inside, sitting in a crowd of people that could definitely recognize him and take away from the actual game. He didn’t know why he decided to go with Logan. Sitting up here always made him feel sick, like if he never made it into the MLB this is where he would be. When it got to be the 7th inning he finally relaxed, realizing that they weren’t sitting around enough people for anyone to really be invested in him or Logan. Eagles were getting their asses handed to them on a silver platter and it was so fun to watch. Remus was pitching better than ever but he noticed that no matter what, the other team was always somehow one step ahead of them. Like they knew what was coming. 

Maybe the Basilisk got into fortune telling recently, who knows. Baseball teams do a lot of weird shit to win. 

“What’s it like seeing your boyfriend lose so bad?” Sirius grabs the top of Logan’s hat and shakes his head around laughing a bit. Logan swats his hand away and takes off his hat to fix his hair before putting it back on. 

“It's wonderful.” Logan says sarcastically, Sirius hears Lo’s stomach growl and the heathen snatches the bag of cotton candy right from his hands. “This means when we go back to the hotel he's gonna want to hold me and kiss me alot.” He makes smooching sounds puckering his lips. He's super loud right in Sirius’ ear. He flinches away and rolls his eyes. Always trying to irritate him for the fun of it. 

“I’ve never been interested in relationships. Seems like a waste of time honestly.” Which was very true, at least until recently when a number 6 wiggled their way into his brain. He noticed the other night on the box how different he felt towards Remus. But he would never tell him that.

“I disagree, having a partner is fun! We have inside jokes, he attempts to teach me how to cook, we watch movies together, we make out, I help him study, our pets get along great so we can act like a domestic family. It’s great!” Logan stuffs his mouth with more cotton candy before taking a drink of his water that he brought with him. Sirius just thought about maybe someday actually doing those things with a person, being domestically happy in a real way. Not like the act his parents put on. Maybe he wanted to cook together with someone or go on car rides up to the crownest. Maybe he wanted that with- “Whatcha thinkin about?” 

“Nothing… Just a fantasy.” Logan looks back at him, Sirius just ignores his little brother's look and keeps watching the game as the players run out to the field.

“Are you okay?” 

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

“I don’t know, you just sounded sad.” Sirius throws his arm around Logan’s shoulder and pulls him closer in a friendly hug. Squeezing him a bit before relaxing and removing his arm from Logan’s shoulder, reaching down to pick up his water bottle from by their feet. It wasn’t hot outside but it was dry.

“You’re a good friend. But I’m fine.” He smiles when he sees that number walk up to the batter's box, not wanting to look away… Remus has a nice ass. WHAT!? WHAT THE FUCK WAS HE THINKING!? He shakes his head a little and clears his throat looking at some app on his phone. Fuck, this was embarassing.

“If you say so.”  They continue to watch the game in silence, making snooty comments about the other teams when it seemed fitting. It was nice to just relax for a day, end of the season maybe but still. They made their way back down to the players lounge. Remus and Leo come out in the middle of the pack, they both looked crestfallen and a bit irritated. 

Sirius watched at how instantly Leo's demeanor changed when he saw Logan. He wanted that. He wasn’t envious of their relationship. He just wanted to know what it was like. Remus also comes over, always being stuck to Leo because he adopted him as his reckless child. 

“Come to tell me how terrible I played?” Remus was joking but Sirius was in such a funk he actually felt a little hurt at what Remus said. 

“Why would I do that?” Remus just raises an eyebrow.

“Because that’s what we do? I don’t know.” He chuckles a bit awkwardly and sets his bag on the ground to dig for something. Sirius watches him for a moment before his attention is drawn elsewhere. 

“You two coming?” 

“Where are you going?” Remus asks as he rummages through his bag on the ground, pulling out his phone and standing up, tossing his bag over his shoulder. Sirius was watching him rather closely. 

“Hmm, I don’t know. We are gonna walk and find somewhere to eat. Come on.” Remus looks at Sirius and shrugs, walking behind their friends. Sirius takes a moment before he follows. Remus was walking and digging in his bag again, he went up beside him. 

“What are you looking for?” 

“Wallet, I can’t remember where I put it.” Remus stops walking and Sirius stops with him. “You can keep going.” 

“I’ll wait, don’t want you getting lost in the maze.” Remus scoffs and pulls his wallet out from the side pocket of his bag. “Remus?” The slightly taller man looks at him. Sirius is moving without thinking, he leans forward and gives Remus a quick peck on his lips. It takes a moment of them staring at each other for it to really sink in. He feels panic wash over his body and he goes to explain when they hear Leo calling for them. Sirius takes that as his queue and speed walks down the hall getting to the other side of Logan. His face was red and his cheeks were warm. What the fuck was he thinking? He just kissed Remus, out of the blue, out of nowhere, no warning, nothing. Fuck he was so screwed!

“Are you ordering food to the hotel or going out?” Remus says, Leo just shrugs in response. “I might take mine and go visit my parents, I haven’t seen them in a while. Also, I need to help my dad fix his car.” He rolls his eyes a bit and smiles. He seemed to just be completely ignoring what just happened, Sirius should probably do the same. 

“You know stuff about cars? I didn’t know that.” Leo was talking but Sirius was just letting the words go in one ear and out the other. 

“I don’t, he just needs emotional support as he fist fights his engine.”  They all laugh a bit, Sirius’ a bit shorter. Making their way outside Remus holds the door open for all of them. He was the last one out, avoiding Remus’ eyes by looking at the ground as he walked past.

They all pile into Logan’s car, Leo was fighting Remus for the front seat and ended up in the back with Sirius, he was grateful. Driving around for a couple minutes Remus gives directions by memory to a little pizza shop. Grabbing a slice off the turner, Remus takes his leave.

Remus grabs a cab to his parents house. Eating his pizza on the ride over. The cab pulls up outside his parents' one story house. He lets out a sigh, pays his fee and gets out. Walking to the garage he realizes he left his bag in Logan’s car. Sending Leo a text he puts his phone in his shorts pocket and goes inside. 

“Dad?” 

“Over here!” Remus smiles and walks over to find his dad with his head under the car hood that is being held up. He was banging around and just making a ruckus but as soon he saw Remus he opened his arms. “Come give your old man a hug.” Remus takes those last few steps and hugs his dad whose greasy hands wipe on the back of his old highschool shirt that just so happens to be white. 

“DAD!” His dad laughs and pats his shoulder getting more grease on him. “What are you even doing to this poor thing?” He hops up on the work counter his dad has after brushing all the dirt off.

“Oh you know, oil change, switch out the battery. The usual.” 

“When will you just let her go, the bumper is about to rust off.” He bites his thumbnail and kicks his legs a bit. 

“Never! Don’t talk about her that way!” Remus watches his father, that man who helped create him, whisper to a car about how everything he said was wrong.

“Hey dad, can I talk to you about someone?” His dad turns around and leans on the car, wiping his hands off on a rag so dirty it's probably just making his hands worse. 

“Another fling?” Remus quirks his eyebrow in annoyance at his dad. “Sorry, it’s just in highschool you would call every-other week about some new boy you were swapping spit with.” 

“I wasn’t that bad!”

“It was the same time too, so your mother wrote it on the calendar.” He raises his hands in surrender at the murderous look his son was giving him. Grabbing the little stool that was holding his tools, he sets them on the ground and sits on the circular spinning seat. “Tell me about him.” 

“Well, I hate him.”

“That's not healthy.” 

“Well, I mean I don’t hate him. But I don’t like him very much either. Then again, I do like him… James is making us call a truce on our hatred for each other because Lily is pregnant and they don’t want us fighting all the time with a baby around.” 

“Tell Lily I said congratulations! I’ll make sure we send her a fruit basket.” Remus smiles at him. “But this boy, does he like you?” 

“That's the thing, we have been getting closer as friends. Well I wouldn’t say friends, more like people who annoy each other but also joke around sometimes and he is very good looking. At most I just was hoping for a hate fuck but then he kissed me… it wasn’t even a real kiss! It was a fucking peck on the lips that I don’t think he even realised he was doing! But it was nice I mean. We didn’t really talk after, we went with friends to get pizza and I ditched to come here.” Remus just takes a deep breath and lets it out looking at the ground in front of him. “This is stupid, right?”

“It’s not stupid, if he makes you feel this passionate towards him then maybe once you two work on getting along better it could work. But that means you need to sit down with him and talk about this. Don’t just make things physical like you like to do. If you think this guy is something special, then you need to let him in. Maybe tell him the real story about why you got into the school you did, why you have that scar. Intimacy isn’t just physical.” 

“I know it isn’t, I’ve had a real relationship before.” 

“Yes, I remember Marlene. But obviously you two didn’t work out. She was too good for you.” Lyall catches the paper towel roll his son just threw at him and smirks “You’re getting slow with age.”

“Ha ha, so funny.” He tries to hide his smile and bites his hangnails instead. “Should I go talk to him?” 

“Do you know where to find him?”

“Yeah.”

“Then I think you should.” 

Remus sat and talked with his dad a little longer until he felt less on edge and ready to actually talk to Sirius. He didn’t know how this would go down but it was worth a shot. His mom was out for the day so he missed her, but she would be picking up Jules from his apartment in a couple days so he would see her then. 

He gets back to the hotel, he got a text earlier from James letting him know that he was going to spend the night with Lily instead of with him and that meant Sirius was alone. Looking around the lobby he doesn’t spot the curly haired man, which meant he was alone upstairs. Perfect. Remus doesn’t waste time taking the elevator, running up the steps taking two at a time. He looks at every number he passes looking for 212, somehow in his rushed mind he found himself in the 220’s. Backing up he finds the room he was looking for. He remembers it because Sirius’ number is 12 and the room is 212. Whatever, doesn’t matter, he knocks on the door and waits. 

After what felt like forever but was probably only a few seconds the door opens. Sirius was wearing what he was earlier but instead of jeans he was in shorts and his hair was in a braid, it was frizzy so Remus guessed he was laying down. 

“Remus?” 

“Are we still watching ghost adventures?” Sirius looked confused and a bit pale. Remus probably looked the same. Sirius stepped to the side and gestured for him to come in. Remus kicks off his shoes and walks over to the side of the bed that he has sat on every night. Sirius looked like he was deciding between sitting on the couch or back on the bed, Remus needed him near him so they could… talk. Sirius walks over and sits basically on the edge of the bed, turning on the tv. The only light in the room was the lamp next to Remus, the curtains were closed so it was really dark. 

Time passed and the awkward tension was getting worse and worse with every passing minute. Remus decided that it was now or never, he shifts a bit on the bed to face more towards Sirius. Sirius looks at him, he looks like he is preparing to say something long and drawn out so Remus decies to beat him to it. 

“You kissed me earlier.” Sirius looks at him like he was about to cry and Remus smiles just a tiny bit. 

“I know, I mean I’m so sor-” Remus slowly reaches forward and right before his hand reaches Sirius’ chin he goes. 

“It wasn’t even a good one.” He whispers before pressing his lips against the other man’s. They stayed like that for a moment, Remus was getting nervous because Sirius wasn’t kissing back. He was about to pull away when he got the satisfaction of feeling those soft lips move against his own. They are in sync for a few moments before pulling away. Sitting cross legged facing each other for a bit while they catch their breath. 

“I-” 

“Shut up.” Sirius says, grabbing Remus’s face and crashing their lips together like he was desperate for them. Remus kissed back just as needy. 

They needed each other.

Indicolite Stadium, Ravenclaw, Hogwarts 2020

He was just about to walk into the locker room to get dressed and head out on the field for warm ups but someone caught his arm. This hand was skinny and long with a few calluses, he smiles turning around to look into those soft brown eyes. 

“Hi” He smiles at the other man. 

“Hi, I wanted to say good luck, and I brought you something.”  Finn smiles, handing him a paper towel with something wrapped in it. Clay opened the little present and felt his smile get even bigger, it was his favorite American breakfast option. 

“You got me a strawberry danish! Finn!” He hugs him, being careful of the pastry in his hand. 

“Yeah, Coach brought them into the locker room. I grabbed it before Sirius could. Those are his favorites too.” Finn rubs his hand up and down Clay's back. “Also, I want you to meet me in the players lot after the game.”

“What are you planning?” Clay looks up at him with a playful glare. “You’re not gonna be too sad after we beat you right?” 

“You’re funny thinking you could possibly beat us.” He pokes Clay’s dimpled cheek making the shorter man laugh a bit. The door behind them swings open and Tom Riddle pokes his head out. 

“Knut! Get in here!” 

“Give me one second!” Clay tells him before giving Finn a sweet peck on the lips before he starts to back up towards the door. “Okay, parking lot after the game, are we going somewhere?” 

“You’ll see. Just be ready to lose this game.” Clay laughs, Finn steps forward for one last little peck before winking at him and running off back to his own locker room. Walking in with a little smile on his face. Today he and Clay were going to make up for being jerks to each other this past week. It was really bad to the point where they weren’t even talking to each other when they weren’t in public. Just pretending the other doesn’t exist which isn’t exactly the best thing for a relationship. 

“Oh did you go and fornicate with the enemy?” James says while tying his cleats up. “Naughty boy.”

“I didn’t do anything besides give him a danish.”

“You gave my danish to the other team! Finn! What the Fuck! I wanted that.” Sirius is tucking in his jersey giving Finn a fake attitude before smiling. “Honestly though, it's cute.”

“Hurry up and get finished putting on your uniform.” Finn mock salutes Dumo who walks in from the coaches office, walking over to his designated locker, sitting on the bench he pulls his cleats on, tying them quickly before sliding his jersey over his long sleeve compression shirt. Buttoning it up quickly, realizing he missed a button, cursing, then redoing it. They were up first to bat so he made his way into the dugout to set up his equipment before grabbing his glove to go warm up in the outfield. He and Logan were always paired up, playing a slow game of catch until they were warmed up enough to start backing up and throwing harder. 

Once it was time to go into the dugout he walked with James, talking about how the party in the lobby tonight was going to go with all the teams for the end of the season. 

“It’s going to be crowded, I heard they started closing off sections of the hotel for construction.” James says as he smudges eyeblack under his eyes and down his cheeks before handing the tube that looks like lipstick to Finn. He does the same and they hand the tube off to the next person. 

Clay was up to bat, it was the end of the 4th inning and he was having a good time, enjoying the game so far because it was tied most of the time which kept it interesting. He swings hitting directly in between James and their second base rookie Cole. They dive for it, Clay watches as he runs. James knocks it off the top of his glove making it skid into the grass of the outfield. Clay takes that as his chance to run to second base. Reaching it just in time as the ball is thrown back into Sirius’ glove on the pitcher's mound. 

He felt good. 

The Snakes lost 44-45, it was a good game and a fun one. Clay makes his way out of the locker room freshly showered and in just a plain half black, half white shirt split vertically down the middle that his mam made him with black shorts. He was hopping around pulling up his socks as he walked with his phone in his mouth and his bag on his shoulder making him unbalanced. 

“Clay!” He was suddenly hugged from the side by someone who he guessed was Noelle, his thought was confirmed when he was let go and faced her. “You did so well! Look!” She turns around and is wearing his jersey. He couldn’t help but smile at that. She turns around to face him again. 

“You didn’t steal that from my room did you?” He jokes, she laughs and shakes her head. “Good because if it was mine then it really is nasty. Needs to be washed.” He puts his phone in his pocket, he looks past her to see Finn talking with James and Logan as he walks towards the hall that leads to the parking lot. 

“Thomas wanted to say good luck to you earlier because he went out with his family that flew in from Chicago to see him instead of watching the game. So he says good luck.” She hugs him again, squeezing him tight. She steps back and ruffles his hair. “I’ll see you at the party tonight, yeah?”

“I’ll be there, probably getting too drunk but hey, it's the end of the season.” He waves at her as he starts walking down the hall. Making his way out to the parking lot he sees Finn say goodbye to his friends and stand against a wall waiting for him. He walks over and stands next to him . 

“Ready to go?” Finn smiles at him. 

“Where are we going?” Clay smiles back. Finn pulls out his keys and twirls them on his fingers. 

“You’ll find out.” 

Noelle grabs an Uber to the restaurant that Thomas’ family is at still, they have been talking and catching up all day and that means ALL day. She was trying to remember everything Thomas told her about his family so she didn’t feel so stressed out getting to know them. His dad's name is Greg, his mom's name is Malinda named after her mother who lives with them named Matilda. His parents are both dentists who own their own practice in Chicago. He didn’t actually know what his grandmother does for work now because she changes jobs so often. He has an older brother named Eric who lives the “American Dream” which consists of having a wife named Sarah who is ginger, that was prevalent for some reason. They have three kids: Jacob 10, Sammy 6, and Kendal 2. He works as a business consultant and she is a stay at home mom. They sounded like a sweet family. 

She walks in the restaurant and spots them immediately, Thomas had his head resting on the table while his Grandmother laughed and the rest of the family had a slight look of amusement. She walks over and takes a seat between Matilda and Thomas. 

“Hi, I hope I didn’t miss anything.” 

“Noelle! Thank god!.” Thomas flings his arms around her neck and kisses all over her face. “Nana keeps bullying me!” Noelle laughs a little and gives him a chaste kiss before reaching her hand out to Matilda. 

“Nice to meet you, I'm Noelle.” Matilda shakes her hand and pulls her closer, taking a closer look at all her features and yanking her from Thomas’ arms. She pinches her cheeks and brushes her hair off her forehead, grabs her chin and moves her head around to look at her from different angles. 

“You have good bone structure, a slender frame… maybe too slender but still beautiful. Your hair is nice and healthy, your eyes are very powerful. Your hips aren’t the best for birthing but that can wait.” Noelle’s face is incredibly red, the rest of the family pays no mind so this is probably a normal thing. 

“Thank you?” She says and rolls her jaw a little when the older woman lets go. 

“So Noelle, Thomas tells us you’re a ballerina.” Malinda says, wow it was going to be hard to keep track of their names. 

“I’m studying right now, I have an associates in fine arts but after that I came to Hogwarts to study ballet.” She smiles at Thomas’ mother. 

“Noelle look.” Thomas was nudging her side with his elbow, when she looked at him he pointed out Finn and Clay sitting at a table across the restaurant from them. “I mean it makes sense we are in a nordic restaurant. Aww, that's so cute!” 

“Who is it?” Matilda looks where they are. “Another lover?” 

“Nana!” 

“What I always knew one of you would take after me.” She smiles at them. “Your grandfather and I were in many polyamorus relationships, there's no shame in it.” 

“Poly what?” Noelle looks around confused. 

“Polyamorus, means you are in a relationship with more than one person.”

“Like cheating? But they know? Isn’t that being a cuck?” Thomas, Eric and Malinda all snort. 

“No, Poly means everyone is in a relationship. Say like Finn and Clay were dating… umm, us? Anyway, we would all be equals in the relationship. So, you would love me, Finn, and Clay. That's a polycule.”

“Gross example but I do get it now.” 

“So are you going to become one?” Matilda says. She was always getting on Eric, Thomas and their parents to try the poly lifestyle but no one really wanted to. But she knows deep down someone will end up loving it. Her family calls it a lifestyle choice but she knows it's deeper than that, and Thomas has always had issues with having romantic interest in more than one girl at a time.

“I don’t think so, I don’t like a lot of people.” Noelle admits but she is still looking over at Finn and Clay who are happily laughing and obviously flirting, to the point where it looked like they were making fun of how people flirt, while fans around them secretly snap pictures from under the tables. 

She would probably never fall for anyone besides Thomas. He was everything she could ever want, handsome, sweet, listened to her when she doesn’t want sex which is most the time. Noelle has had a few boyfriends in her time, most of them left after they realised that she doesn’t really like sex that much. Like she will very very rarely be in the mood to actually have normal sex, she likes making people feel good though. So things like blowjobs and handjobs are pretty common.

Thomas doesn’t really ask her for anything though, he lets her decide when she wants to do something and if he does ask it's usually when Noelle has already started feeling him up. He respects her. She respects him. That's all she could ever ask for. 

She laced her fingers into Thomas’ under the table between their chairs and smiled at him. She knew her face was probably incredibly sappy but she couldn’t help it. There was a flash in the corner of her eye and she turned towards it. Malinda just took a picture of them staring at each other. 

How embarrassing. She just smiles shyly at his family who are all doing their own thing but still interacting with everyone. They all smile back at her. 

Indicolite Stadium, Ravenclaw, Hogwarts 2020

They couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Jackson just got finished playing against the Hornets and was pulled into a little alcove just outside the visitor locker rooms. Those familiar Russian hands grabbed him, Kuny backing himself up against the farthest wall with his hands on Jackson's waist. 

Their mouths moved in sync with each other. Hands moving all over their bodies, Kuny’s found their way into Nado’s still wet hair from his shower. Their eyes were closed and the unlit pocket of the wall they were in was dark enough that if someone passed by they wouldn’t see them at first glance. 

Kuny felt Nado fully press his body up against his own, those clammy hands caressing the warm skin of his lower back making Kuny shiver a bit and Nado snicker in his mouth. Nado moves from kissing his lips to leaving pecks down his neck until nipping lightly at his shoulder after he reaches up to move Kuny’s collar to the side. 

Jackson’s game was the last of the night, they expected everyone to be mostly gone once they heard the doors stop slamming shut. He kisses his way back up to Kuny’s ear and playfully nibbles his ear. Kuny jolts away pressing his ear to his shoulder and cringing. 

“That tickles!” He whispers and Jackson just smiles at him. Over the past few months of their wild mouth exploring endeavors he noticed how, hmm how should he put this, domestic they have become. Taking care of each other more as partners rather than their dynamic of Kuny parenting him in the beginning of their friendship. It was nice but it was also odd because they weren’t dating and neither of them ever expressed a want in being exclusive.  Yet, they still acted like they were. It was something they didn’t want to bring up in fear that it would ruin the good thing they had going. 

He was about to dive back in for another kiss from this soft giant of a man when they heard a familiar voice behind him. 

“Kuny? Who are you-” Sergei was behind them, Jackson spun around quickly and saw the wide-eyed stare of his mentor and friend. He swallows a bit of fear he has when Sergei’s surprised look becomes happy, smiling at them. “Well, I didn’t expect you two to get so close when you moved in together. But this is nice.” He puts his hands on his hips. “I was just making sure Kuny wasn’t going to get in trouble for bringing a fan down here. Don’t worry, I won't say anything.” And with that he just walked off. What a weird guy. 

Kuny feels Nado let out a sigh of relief, turning around to face him, his relaxed look fades into worry. 

“Un, what’s wrong?” Kuny had no idea what his face looked like; he couldn't feel or focus on anything besides how fast his heart was beating. He was caught, acting in a way that could get him in trouble. He didn’t realize he was walking out of the alcove until he reached the door that leads to the parking lot. He drove here this morning because he really didn’t want to walk. Unlocking his car he gets in, Nado getting in the front seat. “Hey,” Nado takes his hand making Kuny look at him. “Talk to me.” 

“That was… scary.” 

“It was just Sergei, he’s not going to say anything.” 

“But-”

“We know Sergei, he won’t.” Kuny just nods, starting the car and staring out the windshield for a moment. He drove back to the hotel, which was only a few minutes at most. Turning his car off and resting back against the headrest, Kuny lets out a stressed sigh. He drags his hands down his face before closing his eyes. Just sitting in the dark with Nado silently watching. “Can I help you relax?” 

“How would you do that?” Kuny stayed how he was but Jackson was thinking, wracking his brain thinking of a way to make Kuny’s own shut off for just a short amount of time. Then he gets an idea. They haven’t done anything explicitly sexual before but maybe this would help Kuny out. 

“What if I sucked you off?” He watches as those shiny brown eyes snap open and look at him. He can’t help but smile, Kuny is always so dramatic in his movements and it's wonderfully entertaining. 

“Here?”

“Yeah.”

“Shouldn’t we go up to a room?”

“Moose, we both have roommates.”

“The lobby bathroom?”

“That’s just asking for a stranger or even worse, someone we know, to walk in.”

“But a parking garage seems risky..” 

“Un, your windows are tinted so dark I don’t think anyone could see in them even with a flashlight.” He watched as Kuny fiddled with his sweatpant drawstrings, he was rolling them in between his fingers pinching it every once in a while so his nail went white. Nervous habit. “I mean… If you don’t believe me you could get out and look through the windows to see if you can catch a glimpse at me jerking off.” Before he was even done with his sentence Kuny had thrown himself into the back seat of his mildly spacious SUV. Sitting his ass on the middle seat and sending a shy smile Jackson’s way. 

“I don’t ever want to miss a thing with you.” He felt the warmth reach his cheeks turning them red and smiled at his gentle giant… wait no… the gentle giant. 

“You realize if we do this, it's something we can’t go back from. It’ll fuck up our platoinc relationship.” Nado climbs over the center council and sets himself on top of it between Kuny’s calves. His hair was down for once since he just got out of the shower before they punched uvulas in the alcove. He was so pretty. 

“Well, maybe I wanna ruin our friendship.” Kuny watched Nado’s face go from neutral with a hint of worry to completely blank before finally meeting his own eyes. His eyes were smiling in that beautiful deep blue and the tiniest twitch on those slightly chapped lips. 

“Oh?” 

“Yeah, I want you… as more than a friend I want to kiss.” His breath leaves his lungs slowly as he feels two strong hands going up each of his thighs. He shifts just a second and swallows all the spit that's gathered in his mouth. 

“Tell me more.” He leaned forward his hands moving from Kuny’s powerful thighs to up his shirt, lifting it enough to be able to press his lips to the soft warm skin of Kuny’s navel. Kuny wasn’t like a lot of the other players and had ripped super overly-muscled bodies, he was slightly chubby and that just made him all the more sexy in Nado's mind. He was soft yet powerful and he was beautiful. He wasn’t listening to Kuny ramble at all; he just wanted to see if his thoughts were correct. Without hesitation he pulls Kuny’s soft sweats and loose boxer waistbands down together, the anticipation was too much. He feels a quick smack of something large, thick and slightly sticky on his left cheek scaring him for a second so he flinches back.

“I was trying to warn you!” Kuny slumps down a bit in his seat, laughing with a hand on his chest and another over his eyes. Jackson looks up at him for a second and smiles, wiping his face on his shoulder he gets a fun idea. Trying not to draw attention to himself, he leans forward once again, taking a silent deep breath. He quickly sucks down as much of Kuny’s sloppy cock as he could. Feeling frantic hands in his hair, yanking, pulling, feeling so good. He wrapped his hand around the rest he couldn’t fit down his throat, yet, and squeezed in little rhythms.

Kuny was so fucking loud, Jackson already knew this form the nights he got off to listening to Kuny have sex with some random girl. Kuny was also ridiculously huge, like how does a normal person fit this whole thing inside them. He was gonna find out if it was the last thing he did!

Death by Dick. 

These were the main thoughts going through his head as he worked Kuny he could tell he was getting closer by the second with how his hips, thighs, and stomach were jumping with every squeeze and slurp he did. It was wonderful. What he wasn’t expecting was to be pulled away from his new favorite snack and yanked into the Russian’s lap. He was pulled by his hair, which was a bit rough but he didn’t completely mind, but this man was still holding his hand so his head was tipped all the way back as Kuny kissed him with a fever of 104. 

Nado gripped his shirt, Kuny could feel his own dick rubbing on Nado’s, probably painful, hard on. He reaches down keeping one hand gripping the back of Nado’s hair the other drags down Nado’s body making sure his hand is felt all the way down. He pushes Nado’s shorts and underwear down, without sparing a second he grips as much as he can of both of them and tugs. 

Nado tried to pull away to moan but Kuny knew his grip was unforgiving and he did not care. He wanted to get them both off. Stroking their cocks fast he plunged his tongue into Nado’s mouth, sucking on his bottom lip before sloppily kissing him again. 

It didn’t take long for Kuny to feel like he was on edge once again, he was so in the lovely fuzzy headspace of pleasure and pleasuring someone else that he almost failed to realize Naod was practically punching his chest. Pulling away he watches Nado’s face as he gasps for air and the moan he let out was positively sinful. 

Jackson could barely focus on anything; he started moving his hips in time with his partner's hand and holding a clump of Kuny’s shirt by his shoulder. Subconsciously pulling the broader man closer to him. He opens his eyes just in time to see the beauty that was Kuny cumming. His cheeks were a beautiful rosey gold from his suntan, his eyes went wide before snapping shut causing his entire top of his face to be tense and scrunched, while the bottom half was relaxed with his mouth hanging open and his shiny lips making a perfect O.

With himself being so focused on Kuny making a mess all over the both of them he was caught off guard by his own orgasm. Falling forward and pressing his nose and open mouth to the side of Kuny’s neck feeling it twitch. His hips stuttered to a halt as he helped make their mess even bigger. 

Catching their breath, Kuny looks at the window of his car and smiles. Carefully leaning over and drawing a lopsided heart in the condensation. He smiles and puts his arms back around Nado. 

They wouldn’t be the same after this. 

“I hope you know that as soon as we walk in the door back home.” Nado sits up as Kuny keeps talking. “I am going to fuck the life out of you.” Nado just smirked down at him and pressed their foreheads together. 

“If you don’t I’ll be so disappointed.”

Indicolite Stadium, Ravenclaw, Hogwarts 2020

Logan was enjoying the breeze, he and Sirius decided to sneak up to the stands to watch the game going on. Eagles were getting absolutely destroyed by the Basilisks this afternoon, it was odd that Leo’s team has been doing so badly recently the entire rest of the season they were doing great. Even beat his own team like three times. 

He himself was pleasantly high since they aren’t playing today. Getting to the end of the tournament they play tomorrow in the last bracket. They have a good shot at winning but the snakes were also playing and they have recently been killing the game. 

“What’s it like seeing your boyfriend lose so bad?” Sirius aggressively grabs the top of his hat and shakes his head around laughing a bit. Logan swats his hand away and takes off his hat to fix his hair before putting it back on. 

“It's wonderful.” He says sarcastically, his stomach growls and he snatches the bag of cotton candy from Sirius’ hands. “This means when we go back to the hotel he's gonna want to hold me and kiss me alot.” He makes smooching sounds puckering his lips towards his pseudo-brother and making sure he's super loud right in his ear. Sirius flinches away and rolls his eyes. Always so moody. 

“I’ve never been interested in relationships. Seems like a waste of time honestly.” 

“I disagree, having a partner is fun! We have inside jokes, he attempts to teach me how to cook, we watch movies together, we make out, I help him study, our pets get along great so we can act like a domestic family. It’s great!” Logan stuffs his mouth with more cotton candy before taking a drink of his water that he brought with him. He noticed how quiet his friend was and looked towards him. He seemed to be imagining something or at least thinking really hard. He seemed conflicted. “Whatcha thinkin about?” He turns back toward the game just in time to see Leo get the last out of the 7th inning, watching the eagles go into their dugout and the Basilisk come out of theirs. He spots his friend Nado out in the field and smiles. They needed to go clubbing together again the last time they went they ended up napping on a park bench before going to get $100 grilled cheese. 

“Nothing… Just a fantasy.” Logan turns his attention back to Sirius once again and frowns. 

“Are you okay?” 

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

“I don’t know, you just sounded sad.” Sirius throws his arm around Logan’s shoulder and pulls him closer in a friendly hug. Logan cringes but doesn’t pull away because Sirius’ rarely hugs people and even if this is a weird one it counts. Sirius relaxes and removes his arm from Logan’s shoulder, reaching down to pick up his water bottle from by their feet. 

“You’re a good friend. But I’m fine.” 

“If you say so.”  They continue to watch the game in silence, making snooty comments about the other teams when it seemed fitting. It was nice to just relax for a day, end of the season maybe but still. They made their way back down to the players lounge. Remus and Leo come out in the middle of the pack, they both looked crestfallen and a bit irritated. 

Leo saw him standing by the couch with Sirius and Logan watched his entire face light up. God, it was so fucking cute. They made their way over to them. Leo pulled Logan into a tight hug and played with the long hair that now reaches the middle of his back. 

“You played great.” 

“Still lost though.” 

“It happens, part of the game.” Leo just hums. They pull away and Logan takes the hat from his head, reaching up and placing it backwards on the golden boy's head. “Looking snazzy.” 

“Can we go get something to eat? I'm starving.” Logan nods, taking Leo’s hand and Looking at Sirius who is actually having a civil conversation with Remus for once. Maybe James was finally getting through to them. 

“You two coming?” 

“Where are you going?” Remus asks as he rummages through his bag on the ground, pulling out his phone and standing up, tossing his bag over his shoulder. Sirius was watching him rather closely. 

“Hmm, I don’t know. We are gonna walk and find somewhere to eat. Come on.” He tugs on Leo’s hand as they start walking towards the exit to the player parking lot on the other side of the stadium, going into one of the many long hallways hoping not to get lost like he does every time hes in this stupid stadium. 

Leo swings their arms playfully and whistles a tune as they walk so it echoes off walls. Logan was so happy it was basically off season, that means more time with Leo, more time with himself just relaxing, more time with Tortilla who he really misses right now. His neighbor was watching her while he was gone, getting pictures of her laying in his shoes and in the recently emptied fruit bowl he keeps on the coffee table. He couldn’t wait to get home and fall asleep with a warm cat on his chest. Leo was missing Dani too, she was being taken care of by Remus’ younger brother who was staying at their apartment while they were gone. Logan gets sent every picture or video that Julian sends Leo. It was adorable. 

“Hey, slowpokes keep up!” Logan was brought out of his head by Leo stopping and yelling down the hall at Sirius and Remus who appear to be trying to intimidate each other again. They started walking towards them, they decided to stand and wait for them. 

“They can’t even go a few minutes without fighting, I swear.” Logan says Leo nods in agreement. Sirius catches up with them first going beside Logan while Remus goes beside Leo. There was an awkward feeling in the air but they all chose to ignore it. 

“Are you ordering food to the hotel or going out?” Remus says, Leo just shrugs in response. “I might take mine and go visit my parents, I haven’t seen them in a while. Also, I need to help my dad fix his car.” He rolls his eyes a bit and smiles. 

“You know stuff about cars?” Leo raises an eyebrow. “I didn’t know that.”

“I don’t, he just needs emotional support as he fist fights his engine.”  They all laugh a bit, some a bit shorter than others. Making their way outside Remus holds the door open for all of them.

They all pile into Logan’s car, Leo was fighting Remus for the front seat and ended up in the back with Sirius and both his and the man in the passenger seat’s bags on his lap. Driving around for a couple minutes Remus gives directions by memory to a little pizza shop. Grabbing a slice off the turner, Remus takes his leave.

Leo orders a pizza for the three of them to share, taking a booth in front of the window. The sun was beating down on them making it burn the sides of their faces. Sirius sat across from them, he honestly looked pretty miserable. 

“Try this.” Logan shoves a piece of bread in Leo’s mouth catching him off guard. 

“Logan! You can’t just shove stuff in my mouth! I’ll choke.” Logan watches Leo finish the bread in his mouth. “Okay, that was actually pretty good.” Leo takes the rest of Logan’s piece and eats it. Smacking his arm Logan complains and Leo just leans over and gives him a chaste kiss on his lips. Making Logan freeze for a second and then narrow his eyes as he starts turning pink in the cheeks. Turning to face Sirius while crossing his arms.  

“Can I ask you guys something?” Sirius looks at them, Logan uncrosses his arms when Leo’s finds its way around his shoulders. He leans his head on Leo’s bicep and nods at Sirius. 

“Of course you can. If you’re going to ask where babies come from then sadly I do not know.” Leo smiles at his own joke while Logan laughs, but Sirius just keeps this lost look on his face. 

“What if I… like a… girl and I don’t know how to, Y’know. Tell her that.” 

“I thought you didn’t want a relationship, what changed your mind in the couple hours between our chats.” Logan smiles at him. Sirius fumbles for an answer. “You don’t have to answer that, I was just messing with you.” 

“Tell us about her.” Leo says, genuinely wanting to help him out but not quite sure how. Logan is the only person he’s ever had a romantic relationship with.

“She’s tall, a smart-ass, knows how to get on my nerves, has brown wavy hair, brown eyes, can throw a baseball better than anyone else I’ve ever met. She's annoying and cocky and always picks a fight. She’s so fucking UGH! She pisses me off! But I can’t get her out of my head!” Sirius puts his face on the table cradling his head making his half up hair style turn into a frizzy mess. 

“I don’t think you should go after someone who pisses you off so much…” Sirius looks up at them and sighs. 

“I can’t get her off my mind! It’s driving me crazy and I didn’t even realize I liked her like that until a couple minutes ago! Fuck me! This is so stupid.” The Lovers share a concerned look. 

“Do we know her? Maybe If we knew who she was we could help you out a bit more.” Leo says while Logan appears to be wracking his brain. 

“I mean… maybe you know her.”

“What's her name?”

“I’m not gonna tell you, you’ll freak out.” Logan slams his hand on the table.

“SIRIUS BLACK! DON’T TELL ME YOU’RE TRYING TO FUCK MY SISTER!” Sirius looks confused and panicked before he starts shaking his head and holding up his hands. 

“No no no no. I would never go for Noelle! No offense but she's not really my type.” Logan is just giving Sirius an annoyed look and Leo squeezes his shoulder. 

“He said it's not her, relax.” 

“She's tall, brown eyes, brown hair, and a smart-ass. He described her to a T.” Logan sighs and leans back crossing his arms once again as their pizza is delivered to the table. He takes a slice while Leo and Sirius continue talking. 

“It’s not her, I promise. I don’t think you guys would ever guess the right girl.” Leo nods and takes a bite of his slice that he grabbed. Sirius following his actions. 

“Well, have you tried telling her how you feel?” Leo wipes his face with a napkin. 

“I mean, I kissed her but I didn’t really mean to? It just happened, a little peck and we just stared at each other before walking away.” Sirius looks down at his pizza and sighs. Leo felt for him, honestly this was a shit situation. 

“Then it's definatly not Noelle, she would have smacked the fuck out of you.” Logan says with his mouth full, Leo rests his arm on the table and puts his chin on his fist to look at his boyfriend. Logan was a bit of a mess. Having put his hair up earlier, it now was falling out of his ponytail a bit, making the hair around his face drape beautifully. He had grease on his face because if there is one thing Logan can’t do it's eat without becoming a mess. Adorable. 

“Do you think I should just give up?” 

“When do you ever give up? You’re more stubborn than that.” Logan smiles at his friend and gets one in return. “Do what feels right to you. I mean I was confused about Leo for a bit because of… reasons and I just did what I felt was the right thing.”

“Which was showing up at Remus and I’s place, demanding to spend the night. With his cat by the way, then making out on my bed. Asking me out right before we fell asleep. It was a park ride.” 

“Rollercoaster, I thought your english was better than that.”
