Living Life

Harry smiled, glad that the other hadn't mentioned the marks, they where shallow, and they weren't very long, so there was no danger of bleeding to death, though it was still worrying Harry didn't find them all that note worthy. "Sex with you is never difficult, i just have to control myself better next time." he decided yawning a little. "come on, i'll make breakfast."
 
Gabe smiled laughing a little as his stomach growled."Breakfast sounds grand."She said nuzzling the other before bounding downstairs."Love, lets eat outside. It'll be fun.Watch the sun come up, all that good stuff."
 
Harry hesitated a little bit then nodded. "yeah, i like outside." he agreed smiling happily. "we could make it a picnic." he decided heading downstairs, humming as he started gathering things together, mixing and stirring and baking and just all around having a good time. it had been a long time since he had cooked for FUN, instead of to get rid of a nightmare or as a stress release.
 
Gabe smiled as he watched from the table, resting his chin in his hand, smiling."You're good at this. I feel accomplished if I dont burn toast."He said studying the brunette.
 
he chuckled a little. "i've had a lot of practice. my fat fucker of a family wouldn't cook for themselves, i had to do it." he admitted simply. "and at Hogwarts i didn't care for hte way the food tasted so i had to make my own there too, annoyed the hell out of the House Elves i'll tell you that." he admitted smiling a little. "do you want a fruit salad? and what kind of sandwich do you want?"
 
"Ham and chicken."he said snickering a little as he got up, getting out the fruit."And I can make the salad."He said starting on cutting up the fruit, smiling a little as he made the salad."You're family deserves something done to them.I do know where they live..."He trailed off, the dark wizard already turning over the idea
 
Harry shook his head. "their not worth the trouble." he stated simply as he smeared mayonnaise all over a slab of bread. "they taught me how to be strong if nothing else, and anyway Dudley's started being a bit nicer to me, he even left me tea the other day. he's warmed up to me a great deal when i saved his life." he admitted smiling. "he even comforted me when i had a nightmare right before you came and saved me." he paused. "besides i don't want you to get in trouble."
 
"Huh."Gabe said sounding skeptical that muggles could be useful for anything as he looked at his lover, smiling as he got plates out so they could head outside."Love,it wouldnt be trouble I havent been in before."He pointed out, not even realizing he'd added in the nickname.
 
Harry paused, looking startled before he smiled. he didn't say anything though as he shook his head. "i don't want you to be in that trouble because of me." he explained simply gathering up the food into a basket he had made out of a broken plate. "besides, as much as they where cruel and hateful to me, i still love them in a way." he admitted. "their the last family i have." he spread the blanket out on the ground, smiling. "make sense?"
 
Gabe shrugged a little as he sat down on the blanket, smiling a little at the ther."A little bit.Maybe.Kinda."He said tilting his head."Not really but I'll pretend I understand it. I was deprieved of love of family early on, I seem to be lacking sympathy as a adult."He said sighing softly, making it sound like a joke but he really wasn't kidding.
 
he shrugged a little. "i was pretty deprived too." he admitted. "i didn't get a hug until i was twelve." he admitted sighing softly looking sad again. "Mrs Weasley, she had this warm smell when she pulled me into her arms." he smiled a little. "it was one of the first real nice things i've ever experienced." he glanced at Gabe and without warming, pulled the man into a tight hug, holding him closley, simply offering silent support, even if the other didn't actually need it then a hug was always a nice thing.
 
Gabe tensed a little, nearly pulling away before he leaned into the other, wrapping his arms around harry's waist, resting his head on the other's shoulder as he nuzzled the other's neck."Hmm phedre wasn''t one to give out hugs.And my mother....I think I remember her hugging me...I think she was nice, when she wasn't teaching me dark things."He said musing as he pulled away, hiding the look on his face as he headed outside with the food.
 
Harry smiled as the Hug was returned, gently nuzzling the other back smiling a little as he followed the other with the rest of his food, his footing still a little shaky. still not fully recovered, but he hid it very well. "i can't remember my mother at all." harry admitted sighing a little as he flipped out the blanket and then smoothed the edges. "i remember her screams..." he shuddered a little. "but i can remember my dad... he had this rich laugh, and he would smile at me while he told me stories." he smiled a little. "i can't remember any of them, but i would always giggle."
 
gabe nodded a little."I wish I could help you remember ore."He said looking thoughtful, wondering if he could make him rememebr more. before frowning."You okay?"He asked, he didn't know for sure, but he sensed the other was still off. Frowning harder as he looked towards the fields behind the house.While the wards wouldn't let anyone apparate in, they could walk up the drive....and he was sensing someone getting closer. Trying to decide what to tell harry as he nibbled on the food.
 
Harry sighed a little as he shook his head. "i'm alright.. i just.." he shrugged. "i wonder sometimes, what it would have been like to have parents...or even just...someone who cared." he admitted nibbling on a sandwich, his eyes downcast. "i mean...i didn't even know what a hug was until i was twelve.. i didn't know my own NAME until i was six, and my uncle was forced to let me go to school." he admitted sighing a little as he laid his head on Gabe's shoulder. "i don't even know how to be with you half the time, i'm terrified im going to do something, and it will be wrong...and you'll be angry with me for it."
 
"Ah but mr. potter, if anyone should be angry, it should be you with HIM."Phedre drawled as she stepped into the yard, sneering at her godson."You look well gabriel.Or should I saw gabrielle."

Gabe wrinkled his nose,but didn't move only tightening his arms around harry."I am not a girl.Refrine from calling me one."
 
Harry's breath hitched at the voice and he leaped to his feet, his wand suddenly in hand, a Wary look in his eyes as he positioned himself in front of Gabriel, never realizing that the other had been about to hold him. "who are you and what do you want!?" harry demanded sternly, a dark tone to his voice. "i happen to not like strangers all that much and strangers that insult me and my boyfriend are even lower on my list." he paused. "besides i'd have to say i'm the girl in this duo." had he really just said that!? of course, Harry WAS a lot more emotionally dependent on Gabriel, and harry WAS a moody little bitch who enjoyed housework so maybe it wasn't that much of a stretch to be thinking of himself as the girl.
 
Gabe gaped at harry behind his back, staring at him.Had he really just said that? Sighing a little he slid around harry facing his foster mother,"Whatever have I done to earn a visit from the wicked witch?"

Phedre laughed softly, shaking her head."The wards tripped. So it is true. The belladonna's son has returned."She said looking him over, feeling the dark magic clinging to him, and finding it amazed that he was even in europe. He hated europe...and yet here he was not only tolerating being in austria, but ENJOYING it.

"Love, this is phedre. Phedre, go away."He said the words like ice, and making it from go away to 'go fuck yourself'. No one could quite pull off that tone of voice, but gabe did it quite well, espicially when he was talking to phedre.
 
Harry scowled a little, stepping up so that he was side by side with Gabe, determined to protect him. Harry might have been week physically and mentally, but Magically he could still take on both Gabe and Phedre and come out victoriously. "he's not Belladonna's son." Harry snapped hatefully. "he is Gabriel, and he is his own person. people like you piss me off! Blaming the child for their parents mistakes! your no worse than Severus Snape!" he bitched glaring hatefully at her. "go away! before i get angry!" he was already angry, but she didn't need to know that.
 
Phedre studied the man tilting her head at her nephew. For the moment, she was willing to let it go.after all, there were other moments she could kill the dark wizard. Looking at the almost frail man standing in front of gabe she smirked, wondering what would come of this."Have care Mr. Potter, after all people he loves, tend to die."She said, shoving that verbal knife home before she apparated out, ripping the wards apart as she did. Inflicting even just that much pain was worthwhile.

Gabe gasped softly when the words it him, pain making every nerve in his body stand on end. He wouldn't lose harry. Not to phedre, not to the curse that seemed to follow him like a grim, not to death that dogged his every step....whimpering louder when the wards snapped, staggering into harry when they fell, gripping his arm and falling ungracfully to the ground.
 
Harry hissed with rage as he narrowed his eyes at her, waiting for her to do something stupid. "the people i love tend to as well." he admitted, his emerald green eyes fixed on Phedre. it was the same look that Harry wore when he was fighting dark wizards, it was the look he had worn when a lucky Cameraman had photographed Harry trying to kill Bellatrix in the middle of London. it was a killers look....no, it was the look of someone who would die to protect someone he loved. he snarled when Phedre left, gasping when Gabe collapsed, trying to catch him only to fall over himself, not strong enough to hold him up this time, standing up to Phedre, and the heavy days of activity had drained the boy who lived. "Gabe! Gabe are you alright!?"
 
Gabe yelped ungracifully falling almost on top of the other, whimpering a little as he shivered, cuddling against the other."Fine.I'm f-fine."He stuttered a little shivering, cold and exposed. Feeling it in his magic, feeling phedre's last parting shot. "She just pulled down the wards when she left."He muttered a little, his teeth chattering. The way he'd made his wards relied on his lifeforce, and with them raputring,breaking it drained the dark wizard to dangerous low levels of energy.
 
Harry pulled the other into his arms, sighing softly as he bent down and kissed Gabe hard, pushing some of his magic into the other, as much as he could afford to, trying to pull Gabriel out of danger. he didn't care that he was draining himself of magic to do so, as long as Gabe was alright. Harry felt tired, drained, exhausted. "Gabe, we should go inside, i'll reconstruct the Wards." he promised. "you need to rest." hopefully Gabe would be too out of it to protest, harry could share the task of holding up the wards, after all Harry was living there too, and that way Phedra couldn't rip them down again.
 
Gabe shivered as he leaned against the other, letting him help him into the house before giving him a half hearted glare, looking tired."Dont do that...Im supposed o take care of you..."He muttered stumbling. really to weak to actually protest about the other putting up the wards, or to stop him.
 
Harry smiled a little as he gently laid Gabe into bed. "no, we're supposed to protect Each other." he corrected. "you might not be able to say it, but i know." he admitted softly, gently stroking Gabe's cheek. "and boyfriends will protect each other, and i will make you safe, even if i have to kill Phedre myself." he murmured softly, kissing his forehead. "now rest while i get the wards pulled back up, when you get better you can add your magic to them too." with that he stood up and headed back outside to weave the wards back into place, anyone who got close could tell it was Harry's magic, glimmering green if you looked close enough, but laced with a black that Harry wasn't aware of.
