Episode 7
Sirius
Remus looked at himself. A knife stuck out from his stomach. Those honey eyes were wide with fear. Sirius groaned. What the fuck is going on. Remus stabbed him, and not just once. One of his oldest friends, his fucking LOVER before he got locked up.
“Siri,….. I…I’m” Sirius pulled out the knife. He lunged and jabbed twice. Once in the shoulder, the other near his kidney.
It wasn’t safe for him here anymore. How stupid could he think that he would have been safe? Dumbledore left him to rot in prison. He knew deep down inside why. Money… It was the money. Thankfully, before he went away. He put almost everything in Reggie’s name. His brother didn’t know of course. When he made it to his bike his body ached as he started it. Sirius needed to get to Reggie. This isn’t how he was going to die. Fuck no.
Reggie
A smile was permanently on his face. He tried to scrub it off but, there was nothing that could take it away. Reggie fell asleep with Harry in his arms. It was on the couch they must have both fallen asleep during their late-night movie. The look of those green eyes as they fluttered open when he pressed soft kisses on Harry’s cheeks and lips. Would make any man have a good day. He had to find a way to make his nurse stay.
“You have had that fucking smile all day. It’s creeping me out.” Bastian raised his eyebrow and crossed his arms.
“You’re one to talk. I’ve seen how you've been looking at the man you call your best mate. I don’t think I’ve seen you smile at him the way you have done. What is going on there?” Reggie knew that would end the conversation. Bastian flipped him off as he stormed away.
“Don’t tease him too much Reggie.” Barty’s voice made him jump. There were conflicting emotions in his eyes. Happiness but sadness. Something was going on with the pair. “I’ve never seen him like this. I think he is confused. Our relationship…” Barty ran an oil-stained hair through his hair. “It doesn’t matter just don’t tease him too much.”
Reggie walked up and clasped his shoulder. “I get it, Barty. I do but don’t let yourself get hurt. Bastian can be… Well, you know how he can be. You deserve someone who is going to love you.” Barty opened his mouth to cut him off but Reggie went on. “He is your best friend and he would do anything for you. As a best friend. If he is confused about how he feels he doesn’t need to hurt you in the process.” Barty glared at him.
“I’ll be fine! Just leave him alone.” Barty growled and stormed off. This should have soured his mood but nothing could do that. When he got off work he was going to ask Harry out on a date. A proper date. Or so he thought.
The sound of a motorcycle squealing made him turn around and look out of the garage. There he watched his brother crash in. Blood oozed from in between his hands.
“FUCK!”
Harry
It was another quiet day at the clinic. On quiet days, it made it easier to believe the false sense of peace. Of course, it wouldn’t last long. Why would it?
“NURSE! NURSE!” Reggie’s voice carried through the clinic. Harry quickly ran out from the back. What he saw when he came out from the back made him regret thinking it was a slow day.
Reggie was covered in blood, it didn’t look like his own. He was holding onto a man who looked eerily like him just a little older.
“What happened?” God, he hoped none of this was Reggie’s blood. Not that he wanted the other man to be bleeding this much.
“I don’t know! He showed up to the garage like this. I don’t even know how he rode so long.” Reggie carried the man back into the closest open room.
“Who is he?” Harry asked as he started to cut away the blood-soaked shirt.
Before Reggie could answer, Severus rushed in. The usually stone-faced man had a sneer on his face.
“What is he doing in my clinic?” Harry was taken aback at the tone the doctor used.
“VP he showed up at the garage. What was I supposed to do!” Reggie ran a blood-covered hand through his hair. Harry wanted to comfort him but he had a job to do. This mystery man was going to bleed out.
“Oh yes, the brother who chose to call another man brother over his flesh and blood.” Severus rolled his eyes. “Start an IV Harry. I don’t want a war on our hands because we let one of the stupid birds die.” That is when Harry noticed the man was wearing a cut. Not any cut he knew this cut but why hadn’t he ever seen this man before?
“He is still my brother. I have a feeling that they are the reason that he is this way.”
Harry got the line in. He worked with Severus as they got the bleeding under control.
This man was Reggie’s brother. The brother he hasn’t seen in a long time. Who was also in prison.
It felt like it took years to get the man stable. Reggie didn’t leave his brother’s side. Harry couldn’t think he could like the man even more.
Severus glared at the unconscious man. What did this man do?
“Harry, do you mind cleaning…” Severus paused “The patient up.” The doctor moodily walked out of the room.
Harry looked over at Reggie. Who was watching him?
“Thank you.”
Harry shook his head. There was no need to thank him; he didn't do anything. It was all Severus. “I didn’t.” Reggie stood and crushed their lips together.
Harry’s fingers clung to the older man’s vest. When Reggie pulled away he rested their foreheads together.
“You helped save my brother.”
“Of course, he means a lot to you. You have to promise me that I will not have to fix any more of your family. All of your family.” He meant everyone in the club. Growing up in a MC he knew that they were a family. Well, there was supposed to be a family.
Reggie cupped his cheeks. “They could be your family as well.”
Harry froze what was he supposed to say? Of course, he wanted to stay. Why wouldn’t he? This was the first time he had ever been happy.
“Figures you would be making out with a nurse while your brother is dying.” A weak deep voice interrupted their awkward silence. “But if the back of him is as good-looking as his front.”
Reggie huffed and pulled away from him. Harry shook off what they were talking about. He walked over to Reggie’s brother.
“I’m glad that you are awake. I didn’t think you would be talking this much, you have lost a lot of blood.” Harry picked up the man’s wrist when they made eye contact. Those gray eyes widened. “JAMES?”
Severus
“It was him. I had to save him! I should have let him bleed out.” Severus seethed into the phone.
“I’m proud of you. You would have broken Reggie’s heart if you didn’t. I do have to tell you something though. I wish I could tell you this right after I had your cock in my mouth. What I am going to tell you will make you pissed off at me.” His husband's voice echoed. He wondered why then. He saw his husband standing in his doorway. Severus made a show of him hanging up the phone. Lucius closed and locked the door. Severus clasped his hands on his desk. He raised an eyebrow as he watched his husband walk over and sit down in front of him.
“Don’t give me that look. I am assuming he is still unconscious.” Severus rolled his eyes. He didn’t say anything, he waited for his husband to continue. “Okay might as well get this over with. Harry is Harry Potter. The son of James and Lily Potter. It seems that Harry lived with Lily’s family until he was 6. That is when Dumbledore kidnapped him. Not those horrid people cared. From what Draco said there were reports of Harry being abused by his so-called family.” Severus stood and paced his office. Harry is Lily’s son. His first friend… his best friend. Yes of course he was James’ son as well but he wouldn’t dwell on that. Those eyes looked eerily familiar.
“Don’t be too upset with me, Severus. I told Draco not to tell anyone. I didn’t think he was a threat. Even if he grew up with those people.” Lucius stood in front of him. He wrapped his arms around him.
Severus looked into his husband’s blue eyes. His white eyelashes curled at the end.
“I don’t think Harry is a threat. You do understand that I must tell Prez.” Lucius glared up at him.
“Harry needs a family Severus. We are his family now. When you tell him you will remind him of all the hard work that he has done with the clinic. Plus Reggie is in love with him. I don’t know if you should mention Sirius or not. You know he has a soft spot for that man. I am not sure why after he...” Severus pressed their lips together. The man was too feisty for his own good. He knew Prez wouldn’t kick Harry out. He has grown fond of him as well.
“Don’t worry love. I will make sure Harry will not be harmed or kicked out. You are right, he is family.”
Dumbledore
Dumbledore looks down at Remus. He wasn’t dead. Though Dumbledore wanted to kill him. He had one job. The job was to kill Sirius. He had men looking around to see if they could find the man. He couldn’t have gotten that far. The blood trail was long and there was a lot of it. When did his life become so out of his control?
