Chapter 4
Gellert didn’t know how long they had been kissing, just that it felt right. Just that he didn’t want to stop. He wanted to keep kissing Albus until one of them passed out. He wanted to touch him all over and make him scream his name over and over again, until he lost his voice. He lays him down on the mattress and pulls him closer at the same time, kissing him deeper. Merlin, he never felt this intense before with any of his past partners.
Gellert starts to go and pull Albus’ vest off when all of a sudden Albus was pulling away and pushing him up a bit. Confused, he sits up and looks at the other “did you not like it?”
“N-no Gellert that was amazing..” Albus was catching his breath from the impromptu Makeout session “just I’m not ready for anything else just yet, I can’t just have a stitch* I want..” Gellert watches as Albus turns a bit more red “I want a relationship, I need to know that’s what you want to..”
Gellert watches him as he talks, he never wanted a relationship with anyone until he met Albus. He leans down and gently kisses the bewitching wizard in front of him again, he truly can’t find words for once and the kiss buys him a few more extra seconds to think.
When Gellert pulls away this time and rests his forehead on Albus’, “of course I want you, who wouldn’t? You’re striking and magnificently intuitive, and powerful. I could watch you cast spells or listen to you for hours.” He says quietly and looks at the other in the eyes.
Albus looks back at him and blushes more, he was enchanted by the other wizard in front of him and smiles at him “Merlin I shouldn’t be this attracted to you” He laughs a bit and kisses him again. He looks around the room “well I need to make a new mattress”.
Gellert gets up and pulls Albus up “no you don’t” he lays on Albus’ bed with him “we can just sleep in your bed” He laughs a bit at the others slight uneasiness. “I won’t do more than kiss you right now if that is what you want”.
Albus lays his head down next to Gellerts “Thank you” he smiles at him and kisses his cheek, yawning “you need to clean up, you’re still covered in ink” he hums when Gellert casts a tergeo charm then starts to fall asleep “ the rain should be done soon..” he mumbles.
Gellert hums and watches as Albus falls asleep. He didn’t tend to fall asleep this early so he was content on just watching Albus sleep for a bit until he started getting tired. He starts to fall asleep as pulls the covers up absentmindedly with his magic. As he sleeps he pulls Albus closer.

The morning after Albus wakes up with his head pressed into Gellerts chest “..morning…” he mumbles and yawns, feeling Gellert shift after a few minutes and pulls back.
“Good morning” he looks at him and runs his hands through his hair to fix it. Sitting up, he casts a tempus to check the time “it’s late” he looks at Albus and helps him sit up “we slept in, and I need new clothes.
Albus looks at the time when he casts it “it’s only 7:00, how early do you get up that this is late?” he gets up with him and looks around his room, going to take out clothes for the day.
Gellert hums and watches him move around the room “you said you would make breakfast” he pulls him closer and hums when the other lets him easily. He raises an eyebrow at him when he blushes.
Albus holds back a noise when Gellert pulls him and he lets him, looking down at him since the other teen was still in bed. He holds onto the others shoulders and laughs a bit “I will once I get dressed” he hesitates for a second then decides to just kiss him.
Gellert hums and pulls him closer, laying down with him “you’re a good kisser, I could kiss you all day,” he moves a piece of hair out of the others face “but you made a promise and I hate people that go against promises so go get dressed and make food please and thank you”.
Albus had leaned into Gellerts hand and laughs at his statement “well since you asked so nicely” he says sarcastically “has anyone ever told you you’re quite blunt sometimes?”
“I’ve heard that once or twice” he smirks “it’s part of my charm” Gellert lets go of the other so he can get dressed and go downstairs.
Gellert waited a bit until he was sure breakfast was almost done and went downstairs, grabbing a plate right from Albus. “Thank you” he eats and sits down as Albus’ younger siblings come in. He watches as they get food to eat and he sends his own plate over to the sink to wash itself. Gellert gets up and stretches “I should head back and change, are we still going to the grave yard today Albus?”
Albus looks up when he gets up “yeah” he gets up “around 1?” he goes to the door with him and makes a noise when he’s kissed again. Albus wraps his arms around him and pulls back a bit “my siblings are in the other room”.
“So? it seems they already know who you prefer the company of, why should it matter.” Gellert looks at him then pulls away to grab his jacket “it shouldn’t matter in general, but people thrive on putting others down.” He watches as Albus looks down and Gellert puts his hand on his chin making him look back up.
Albus looks back to Gellert when he forces him to look up “I know at least Aberforth knows but he’s made his disdain for my sexuality clear.” He said in a quiet voice, “and I don’t feel like having an argument about us right now with him, since we just started this” Albus makes a noise as Gellert shushes him.
“you won’t while I’m here, because if he has a problem he can come to me like a man” Gellert kisses his head “now, the graveyard, 1 O’clock” he leaves and goes down the road to his aunts house. He didn’t know why it came so natural to him to treat Albus the way he does, usually he would coerce his lovers into doing what he wanted but for some reason he didn’t want to do that to Albus. He felt..wrong?..for once, which is stupid. But then again he thought love was stupid until he met the older teen.
~~~~~~~~~~
When Albus got to the graveyard he could already see Gellert waiting by a grave. He was going to go to him but stopped at his mothers grave and kneels down closing his eyes.
Albus didn’t realize how long he was there until he feels a hand on his shoulder and opens his eyes, looking up at Gellert. “You’ve been sitting here for ten minutes, I noticed when you got here but thought to leave you alone when you kneeled down” he kneels on the grass with him “she’s your mother?”
Albus nods “yes, sorry I just haven’t come to see her since we buried her thought I should” he gets back up “what grave were you sitting at, I doubt it was some random persons grave”.
Gellert gets up and leads him to the grave. It was a flat raised grave, obviously very old by the moss and dirt covering it. Gellert had come to Godric's Hollow for this grave. Ignotus Peverells’ grave was in the cemetery in the hollow.
“How did you know this was here?” Albus looks at him when Gellert removes some dirt to show him the hallows symbol. He had lived her since he was 11 and never knew that Peverell was buried here.
Gellert smirks and sits down “mostly studying and some good informants” he takes out his books and enlarges them “lets look around go find any clues on the grave” he looks at Albus “stop looking at my like I’m crazy”.
Albus laughs and picks up a book “well you do have 10 books just casually in your pocket” he looks at Gellert then back to the books “you know I think this carving probably means something” he rubs his finger over the side of the grave to a carving of a few lines “it doesn’t look like a natural wear down”.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After hours of looking for clues at the grave they had moved to a small clearing in the woods and were laying under a tree. Albus had his head on Gellerts’ chest and was listening to him talk about their new world.
“We wouldn’t have to hide anymore Albus, and I don’t mean just wizards and witches from muggles but lovers who are seen as unnatural. How could they be forced to hide when their leaders are male lovers.” Gellert says quietly and looks at him “that is, if you would be my lover?” He watches as Albus looks up at him, absolutely stunning in the late afternoon sunlight shining through the leaves, making his hair and eyes shine even brighter than normal like fire and ice combined.
Albus looks up after the last question Gellert asked he knew the night before that they agreed to night just be a one night thing but hearing it from the others mouth was still surprising “obviously, I said last night I’m not a person for stitches*” he kisses Gellert and closes his eyes.
Gellert pulls Albus closer when he kisses him and rolls them so they are on their sides. Pulling Albus’ leg over his own and closing his eyes. Everytime he kisses Albus it is intoxicating. He lets his hands roam the others body and under his shirt.
Albus groans into the kiss feeling Gellerts hands roaming over his body, pulling him closer with his leg that’s over Gellerts. He didn’t want to stop, he wanted to keep kissing him until one of them ripped their clothes off and Gellert would start kissing all over his body..but he knew they couldn’t, not now, out in the open like this; it would be too risky.
Gellert didn’t know how long they were kissing just that he kept trying to kiss Albus as he pulled away “why did you pull away” he looks at him. Albus looked like a gem right now; his hair a right mess, slightly out of breath, and his lips kiss swollen and captivatingly red. Gellert was still rubbing the others back as they both caught their breaths, their foreheads against each other.
Albus opens his eyes after a minute and looks at Gellert “because if we didn’t we were most likely going to have sex in the middle of a field where anyone could catch us.” He says quietly even though Gellert was the only one around.
Gellert was quiet for a minute while looking at Albus, then he suddenly gets up and pulls him up “w-Gellert what are you doing!” Albus yells when he’s pulled up and is pulled out to the exit of the woods.
“We are going to my room” he looks at him “you said you didn’t want to get caught, so we are going to my room and putting up a silencing ward” he keeps walking.
Albus blushes and follows him, he was kind of relieved that Gellert wanted him as bad as he did and he was willing to walk almost a mile back to the hollow just to make him comfortable.
