My Precious summer storm.
Harry
Fingers ran through his hair. Harry hummed and leaned into the contact. When he went to bed, he was alone. Fabian, of course, said that he could take his bed and he would sleep on the couch. Gideon argued and told him he could sleep on the couch, but Fabian won out.
Harry wondered when he could catch them out and he could magic a bed big enough for all three of them.
“Precious wake up, I’ve made you breakfast in bed.” Harry’s eyes popped open and there was Gideon, smiling down at him with a tray full of food. “There are those beautiful green eyes.”
“Gideon, you didn’t have to make me breakfast in bed! I wanted to have breakfast with both of you!” Harry was greedy; he wanted his soulmates around him at all times.
“Don’t worry, I’m here too Beautiful.” Fabian walked into the room with another tray with two plates on them.
Harry wished he could make the bed bigger. “Well, what are you waiting for? Climb in.” He sat up, and Gideon placed the tray in front of him. Then both of the red-heads sit on the bed. They were very close to each other, but Harry did not mind one bit.
Harry looked down at his plate. It looked like Gideon made a full fry-up and smelled delicious.
“You outdid yourself, Gideon. Thank you.” Harry kissed Gideon on the cheek. He lingered a little longer. He wanted to kiss his lips but no, he wouldn’t want their first kiss should not be with morning breath.
“Hey, I helped!” Fabian pouted. Harry giggled. That reminded him of another set of twins.
Harry shook his head and gave Fabian a kiss on his cheek. “Thank you, Fabian.”
“Jealousy isn’t a good look, Ian. He hardly helped, he just carried the tray and made the tea! I should get more kisses because I did all the hard work!”
Harry crossed his arms and looked at both of them. “At least both of you have had kisses. I’m the one who fainted yesterday and haven’t received one kiss. Well not of the cheek. Hand kisses do not count.” He could play this game too!
The twins looked at him with their mouths open and then they smirked at each other. Fabian and Gideon leaned at the same time and kissed him. One on each cheek. Harry's breath hitched, electricity rocketed through him and that was just from a peck on the cheek.
“Wow!” Harry whispered. His soul mates nuzzled his cheeks before they pulled away.
“Perfection” Gideon sighed.
“Pure perfection,” Fabian added. “Now, eat precious. There is a lot to do today. I want to show you the pub, and then I was thinking we could show you around. I figured we can have lunch at the three matchsticks and then get some candy.” Harry wanted to laugh. The three matchsticks sounded so weird. He wondered if it would look the same on the inside and if they would have butterbeer.
“Then we can go to where you are staying and get your things.” Gideon nodded and Fabian elbowed him. His brother raised his eyebrow to say, ‘What?’
“If you want to stay here with us. We will not push you into something that you are not ready for.” Fabian interlaced their fingers.
Harry smiled widely at him. “Of course, I want to stay here. Though If I’m going to be staying here we need a bigger bed. I will not have you sleeping on the couch.” Harry raised his other hand towards Gideon. “Or you either. For now, we can just push the two beds together somehow. Now about today, don’t you have to work? I don’t want you to lose business because I can help with the pub!”
Harry had more than plenty of money for them and their children and their children’s children, but he didn’t know how to bring that up yet.
“Nope, we will be fine. Our business can be shut down for a few days. Gideon and I have invested and saved. We knew we wanted to care for our soulmate completely.”
“Nope, you have nothing to worry about. You are more important anyway. Eat so we can get the fun started!”
Gideon
Gideon couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as all three of them walked out of the pub. Harry grabbed both of their hands. Warmth flooded his stomach. Their soulmate seemed so proud to be with them.
“So brother, where are we going to first?” Gideon asked as they passed their pub toward the university. Fabian looked over Harry’s head and smiled.
“I think we should go get Harry’s things. I know checkout is soon. Once we get his things, we will drop them back off at home. Then we can just shop around till lunch. I feel like spoiling our soulmate today.”
Harry looked between them. “You know I don’t need to be spoiled. I am just happy to be here with you.”
Gideon squeezed his hand. “Then that makes us want to spoil you more.”
They walked and chatted about silly things until they made it to Malfoy Hotel. Gideon was shocked that his soulmate was staying here. He was happy it was the Hogs Head Inn, which was not the cleanest or safest inn around. This place must have cost him a lot. Fabian looked over at him with a raised eyebrow.
Harry stiffened when they got to the hotel.
“Harry, you okay?” Fabian rubbed his back. The smaller man nodded.
“Yes, sorry. Let's get my stuff.” Harry pulled them into the hotel. When they got out of the lift to his floor, Harry patted his pockets frantically. “I forgot my key wait here I’ll go to the desk and see if they can let me in.”
Gideon looked at his brother, who spoke up.
“We can come with you.” Fabian took Harry’s hand, and Gideon was about to do as well.
“No, it’s okay. I’ll be right back.” Their soulmate kissed both of their cheeks before he left them.
“That was odd.” Fabian pushed his hands into his pockets. He agreed.
“When we got here, he didn’t seem like he wanted to go in. Do you think he wasn’t really staying here? Maybe he was staying at Hog's head and he didn’t want us to judge.” Fabian said as he looked down the hallway.
“We wouldn’t judge him if he was staying at Hogs Head. Ian, I think we should pay for his stay. There is something he isn’t telling us, and I understand we just met, but we are his soulmates.” Gideon’s heart broke a little, thinking about what his soulmate could be hiding.
Fabian threw his arm around his shoulder. “I think you are right Gid, but we can not push him into telling us something that he isn’t ready to.We just have to show him we are here for him no matter what. As for paying for his stay, I agree. I have a feeling he will fight us on the matter, but he needs to know that we can take care of all his needs.”
Gideon was about to reply when the lift doors opened and there stood Harry. His cheeks were red, and he looked nervous. The smaller man held up a key.
“I can’t believe I forgot my key!” Harry said as his shaky hands unlocked the door.
Gideon followed behind Harry and Fabian. The room was what he expected. They both watched as Harry closed the suitcase that was on the table. One suitcase, his soulmate's whole life was in one suitcase? Gideon's eyes went straight to his brothers. Who seemed to be just as confused and upset as he was.
“Okay, I’m all packed! I just have to go return the keys and check out. Then we can drop this off and have fun the rest of the day!” Fabian took the suitcase from their soulmate and Gideon walked to Harry and grabbed his hand.
“Harry, is that all you have?” Gideon asked with what he hoped, a gentle smile. He didn’t want to hurt his soulmate. That is the last thing he would ever want to do.
Harry shrugged and smiled. “Yeah, it is. I don’t need much, ya know. I just need you two.” Gideon’s heart swelled in his chest. His soulmate was perfect, and he deserved everything.
“We need you too, but now I know there will be lots of shopping today,” Gideon said with a smile. “I can see how Fabian is looking at you. He is already making a list of everything that you might need. Don’t worry, you will get used to it.”
Harry shook his head, but Fabian cupped his cheek. Gideon knew his brother would not like that. He was glad that he shared his soulmate with his brother. Jealousy isn’t something he felt when it came to Harry and Fabian. They were twins; they shared the same soul.
“My dear brother is right, Harry. I do have a list of things that you deserve. Now let's check out before they add another day to your stay.” Fabian kissed Harry’s forehead. Gideon was right behind him, giving Harry a kiss on the forehead and tip of his nose, and winked at him.
“I had to get an extra while he wasn’t looking.” Gideon mock whispered, his soulmate blushed.
“You can get extra kisses whenever you want,” Harry whispered back. Fabian huffed from beside them. The smaller man pulled the other twin closer and kissed his cheek. “That means you too Ian.”
Fabian
Harry fought Fabian for paying for the hotel room. “Fabian, we can use my card. It's fine.” Harry stared at him. He knew that the smaller man wanted to argue more, but he wasn’t having it.
“No Beautiful, I’ll use my card.” Fabian handed the card to the confused woman behind the desk. Gideon wrapped his arm around Harry's waist and pulled him away. He would have to thank his twin later.
Fabian noticed he had only been there for a day. He thanked the woman behind the desk and walked outside to a ranting Harry.
Gideon had his hands up to say it wasn’t me. “Harry, Ian, and I just want to take care of you. Please don’t be upset, Precious.”
Fabian needed to help his brother. He walked over to them and Harry glared at him.
“I could have paid for myself, Fabian. I understand you both think that you need to convince me you can provide for me. All I need you to do is to be here for me!” Fabian walked up to Harry slowly. He gently pulled his soulmate into his arms. Harry was rigid in his arms, that was until Gideon wrapped his arms around him from behind.
“Beautiful, we will be there for you.”
“Yes, Precious, we will always be there for you.” His twin added.
“We will try to be better, Harry, but we have waited too long to take care of our soulmate. We didn’t think that we would ever find you. So how about we compromise? We can take turns. Seeing as I just paid for the room. It will be Gideon’s turn next, and then you can pay for lunch.”
“Yes, I want to buy sweet things for my sweets.” Gideon nuzzled into Harry’s neck.
Harry looked up into his eyes, and the anger was gone. “I… I understand… Okay, fine, then that is how it is going to be for the foreseeable future. We all three are equal!”
Fabian nodded. “Promise we are all equal.”
Harry turned around in their arms. “Gideon?”
“Promise Precious. We are all equal in all things except beauty. Because you and I are much more beautiful than Fabian.” Fabian looked over Harry’s shoulder to his brother, who smirked at him.
“You are blind, brother. It is Harry and me who are more beautiful.” Harry giggled before he pulled away.
“You both are beautiful. We should drop this off before we do anything else.” Harry grabbed both of their hands again and pulled them down the sidewalk.
Fabian watched as Gideon would pick up everything Harry would look at. He wished he was more like his brother sometimes. Not that they were not alike because they were, but Gideon did worry yes, but he was more carefree.
“Ian, please tell Gideon that mint and chocolate go together.” Harry walked up to him and wrapped both of his arms around Fabian’s left arm. “He thinks it’s like eating chocolate covered in toothpaste.”
Fabian dropped a kiss into his soulmate’s raven-colored hair. The smaller man nuzzled into his arm.
“It’s true Ian, and you know it. Chocolate and orange are the best combinations.” Gideon popped a free sample of chocolate in his mouth.
Fabian kissed Harry’s hair one more time before he answered. “I don’t mind chocolate and mint. My favorite, though, is peanut butter and chocolate.”
Harry looked up at him with a huge smile. “Peanut butter and chocolate! I have the best receipt that involves peanut butter and chocolate! I’ll make it for you!”
Fabian couldn’t believe how sweet his soulmate was. “I can’t wait to try it. I bet it is delicious.” Harry got on his tiptoes and kissed his cheek. “Gideon makes good chocolate and blood orange cake. I bet he can make a delicious mint and chocolate cake just for you.”
Fabian wanted to talk up his brother. He wished he could do half the things that Gideon could do in the kitchen.
“Is that right?” He watched as Harry walked up to his brother who playfully glared down at their soulmate.
“That is right, I can make anything Precious. If you admit that chocolate and orange is better than chocolate and mint.” Fabian rolled his eyes as he watched both of them.
Harry walked up to him and kissed his nose. “Never gonna happen. Ian, look here are some peanut butter cups!”
Fabian shrugged at his brother, who watched with an open mouth as they walked towards the peanut butter and chocolate confections. He hoped that they would have room for lunch after this trip.
Harry
After the trip to the candy shop and a couple of other shops Harry’s stomach loudly rumbled. He worked up an appetite. Happiness seemed to agree with him. He doesn't even remember the last time he was this happy.
“It looks like it is time to feed our beautiful soulmate, Gid.” Fabian squeezed his hand. “I don’t know how you both ate so much chocolate.”
“It’s a gift, brother dear. Harry, how about The Three Matchsticks? It’s not as good as our place, but it’s the place we normally go.” Gideon smiled brightly at him.
“Sounds perfect, my gingersnaps.” The twins laughed as they walked toward the restaurant.
“Gingersnaps, huh?” Fabian wrapped his arm around his waist. Harry shrugged and smiled.
“I thought it was the perfect name for my handsome ginger-haired men.” This was nothing that he thought it would be. He was afraid that he would have to flee with his soulmates as soon as he met them. It was afraid of the war and everyone involved in it.
“It is perfect, just like you, Precious.” Gideon kissed his knuckles.
The Three Matchsticks looked a little bit more modern. The building still had beautiful gables that were scattered all around the roof. What was truly different was when they walked in.
There were still exposed beams and had that rustic wooden look but it was brighter. Beautiful metal chandeliers hung from the ceiling,
“Ian, Gid over here!” A familiar voice called. Harry looked up and saw his dad and Regulus. His stomach swooped. He didn’t know if he was ready to speak with his father and his soulmate. Was Regulus his soulmate? How could that be seen as his mother was Lilly?
“Beautiful do you mind we introduce you to our friends?” Fabian asked with concern in his eyes. No one has ever cared about Harry’s comfort before.
“Don’t feel any pressure, Precious, if it too much too soon we can find a booth in the back. We wouldn’t have to share your company with anyone else.” Gideon bounced his eyebrows.
Harry chuckled. “If you want to introduce me to your friends you can.” His soulmates are going to turn him into goo.
“Of course we do Beautiful.” Harry was ushered over to the table where their friends sat.
“Hey, guys! It's good to see you looking better.” Regulus said with a soft smile. “I’m Regulus Black. This is my soulmate, James Potter.”
Harry held out his shaky hand. “I...I’m Harry Perverell. It’s nice to meet you.” His dad pulled his hand back and gasped.
“Oh, no wonder you look alike!” Regulus grinned.
“Jamie, isn’t your great-great-grandmother a Perverell?”
“Y..yeah, sorry, I just haven’t heard that name in a long time. I’m the only one left in my family.” James held out his hand to Harry and he took it. He was holding his father's hand.
“I don’t have a family anymore, either. W..well now we both do.” Harry squeezed James’s hand. “Erm, I mean, I have these two handsome men.”
“No, that was sweet Harry. James and I always need more family!! Trust me, my family is mad. So it’s mostly me and my older brother and those two crazies.” Regulus pointed at his soulmates. Harry let go of James’s hand and looked at his twins.
“They are perfect, aren’t they?” Fabian pulled out his chair, and Gideon pushed him in.
“It is you who is the perfect one” Fabian kissed his cheek and sat on his left side.
“Perfect and beautiful,” Gideon added as he kissed his other cheek and sat on his right side.
“Oh, looks Jamie, the twins are smitten.”
“Next time it will be them in the cleaning closet and not Sirius/us.” James teased and Regulus blushed.
Harry laughed. Of course they would have sniffed in the cleaning closet. “Oh… that.. that might be fun.” Harry winked at Regulus who smiled brightly.
“Oh, I like you, Harry! So tell me about you? What do you do?” Regulus asked after the waitress got their drink orders.
“I’m a carpenter.” That lie still felt weird on his tongue. Regulus blue eyes widened.
“So you are an artist! I’m an artist as well! I always tell Jamie that I feel bad because his soulmate will be a starving artist while he will be a successful solicitor.” Harry never thought about what he did as art. He guessed it could have been considered art.
“Oh erm I don’t think I’m an artist.” He wasn't an artist.
“Don’t say that the pieces you make are made with your own two hands!” Regulus cried out.
“Reggie’s right Beautiful.” Fabian agreed.
“Of course you are Precious” Harry blushed under all the attention he was getting from everyone.
“ I’m sure what you do is much more impressive! Plus, James is a solicitor! That is amazing!”
His father smiled at him. “Thank Harry. It’s about to kill me. Though I know it will be worth it in the end.”
The rest of the lunch went by quickly. It was nice to sit down and talk to his father and Regulus. He has a lot in common with Reggie. Harry had a feeling that maybe Lily Potter wasn’t his mother. He could easily use a spell to find out but not in a reality where there isn’t magic.
Harry held Fabian’s hand and Gideon's arm wrapped around his waist as they walked back to their flat. Harry smiled as he thought of his soulmates' flat as his. It will take a long time before he believes he is actually here with his soulmates.
When they got to the back door of the pub, Fabian stopped before he put in the key.
“Did you have a good day today, Beautiful?” Fabian cupped his cheek. His thumb rubbed slowly back and forth.
“Yes... I had a wonderful time, Fabian. You both spoiled me today. Even though I didn’t need you to. I told you before I just need you two”
“That just makes us want to spoil you more.” Harry blushes as the taller man moved closer.
“May I kiss you, Harry?” Fabian asked as his lips hovered over his. Harry’s breath hitched. He was going to be kissed by his soulmates.
“Y…yes,” he nodded. Harry’s eyes fluttered closed. When their lips touched it was like a warm spring breeze flowed over his body. This was the safest he felt in his entire life. Fabian’s hands slid to the back of his neck and deepened the kiss. A missing piece of his soul clicked into place.
When Fabian pulled away their foreheads touched. “My Beautiful spring day,” Fabian whispered. Harry giggled and then looked over to Gideon, who stood patiently for his turn.
“Dear brother, if you are finished?” Gideon said huskily. Fabian pressed a kiss to Harry’s head before he stepped away.
Harry watched as Gideon replaced his brother in front of him. He wore his signature smirk. That smirk made Harry have a million little butterflies in his stomach.
Gideon wrapped one arm around his waist and the other on his neck. When their lips met it felt like lightning strike during a summer rain. The feeling of being free, even more so than when he was on a broom. Gideon’s arms pulled them until they were pressed together. Then the last piece of his soul clicked into place.
Gideon rubbed their noses together when he pulled away. “My Precious summer storm.”
