Chapter 2
As Albus opened his eyes, the place next to him was cold. It was just like he expected, break-up sex, what else could he possibly get from Gellert?
At least Gellert cared enough to cover him with a blanket, before leaving. Albus hissed in pain as he sat on his injured hip. Looking around he found a tray placed on the table in the corner of the room. Albus left the bed, wrapping the blanket around himself because he felt uncomfortable walking around naked in a stranger’s house. Gellert had apparently prepared him breakfast before his departure, he even put a blue orchid flower next to it.
Why would he do this? Albus kept asking himself. Why would he show this part of himself again before leaving Albus? It was easier to hate the other man after last night, but no, Gellert had to make his soul ache as well as his body.
Albus took some blueberries in his hands and began eating them, noticing that there was no tea on the table which was quite weird, knowing how much the other man enjoyed drinking it in the mornings.
There was a noise behind him, as Albus looked behind himself he saw the doorknob rotating and a moment later Grindelwald walked inside the house.
“Oh, sorry,” he said with a smile “didn’t mean to startle you, thought you’d still be asleep.”
Dumbledore continued staring at him in shock
“Got ourselves tea. Can you believe that these muggles here didn’t have any? Disrespectful, honestly” Gellert said as he got close to him and pulled him for a gentle kiss on his mouth “Good morning” he whispered in Albus’s mouth.
“Thought you’d leave didn’t expect to see you this soon again”
“Thought that too, but I just couldn’t leave you like that. I can’t live with myself knowing I had intentionally hurt you; you know.”
“Can’t you see that you are hurting me even now?”
“That’s not me, love, you’re denying yourself a happy life, you’re choosing them over me. I’m not at fault, I’m done trying to save you.”
“Funny, I was going to say the same”
Gellert gave him a melancholy smile.
They drank the tea Gellert made them in silent.
Albus noticed that the other person in the room was avoiding looking in his direction
“You should eat something too” he finally said
“I’m not hungry,” replied Albus
Gellert suddenly fixed his eyes on him
“Drop those mattresses, they need to be cleaned.” He paused shortly before adding “we need to wash you too”
“No, thank you.”
“Where will you go, looking like this?”
It was a good point
“If you’re not going to eat, at least get in there.”
Albus sighed in defeat and moved toward the bathroom, dropping the mattress in the doorway. Gellert was following behind him. Somehow his body was responding eagerly to the attention he was getting while the other man studied his body from behind.
“Get in the tub” demanded a husky voice
Albus again did as he was told. He hadn’t realized Gellert was undressing as well. Albus stood awkwardly in the tub, waiting as Gellert adjusted the water. Albus’s body relaxed as the hot water struck his body.
“Just you relax, love, I’ll take care of the rest” Gellert whispered into his ears. Despite being recently outside, Gellert’s body was weirdly and welcomely warm, Albus noticed as the man’s hand ran over his body “let’s start with your hair”
“Gellert –”
The taller man shut him up with another rough kiss on his mouth
“Look at you,” whispered Gellert after breaking the kiss, thumb touching the hickey on his neck from last night “anyone who sees you will know you’re taken.”
Albus’s attention was caught by the other man’s wet hair falling on his face
“Feels good, doesn’t it? Knowing you belong to me?” Gellert breathed against his skin, his one hand still behind his neck and the other slowly and gently touched the bottom of his stomach
Albus unintentionally let out a moan, desperate to be touched
“So responsive” Gellert gloated
However, he didn’t continue going down on his body, instead, he took the bottle of shampoo, put some on Albus’s head and began stroking and massaging his hair.
Gellert’s hand on his hair felt so good, the way he gently massaged his head, making him relax and feel cared for, the way he gently washed his hair, kissing his closed eyes, nose and bruised neck in between.
This will be your everyday life if you choose to be on my side
This was Gellert’s message
No one would ever love him the way Gellert did
Albus knew, in spite of what happened last night and Gellert’s wild reaction, that this would be forever if he left everything behind for his love
He knew Gellert would never hurt him then, he knew that gentle romantic part of Gellert that would make him breakfast and wash him every morning, making them tea in the afternoon, doing all the boring stuff old married people did and still being the energetic one.
Albus wished he didn’t know this part of Gellert, everything would be much easier then
“You’re thinking too much” Gellert blurted “Stop and relax, enjoy the moment, don’t think about the future”
“How can I? when this could be our future?”
“It still can be, my precious Albus, the choice is yours. Your place is by my side, it’s where you’re meant to be, I will always be there to welcome you home with a huge embrace when you choose to see that I’m right.”
“It’s your choice as much as mine.” Albus wept “We can leave all this behind. Live together, somewhere no one can find us, I’m ready to leave my life behind everything I’ve built and fought for, because I love you, Gellert. We can be happy, you and me, just like you always imagined”
“I share your dream, Albus, I truly do, and I will come for you after I’ve done my job”
Albus shook his head, tears gathering in the corner of his eyes
Noticing this, Gellert kept quiet and continued washing his hair, then moving on his chest, rubbing him clean with a sponge
Albus closed his eyes to prevent the tears from falling
“Look at me, Al”
Beautiful eyes were staring into his eyes. They weren’t cold like before, no, Albus could see the love, could see that Gellert was equally in pain, equally shattered.
But he smiled charmingly...
“No man is worth your tears; do you understand me? no one.” Gellert beamed at him, then paused before continuing saying “Live in the moment, my love, right here right now, the world doesn’t matter, it’s just you and me. . . and at the moment I am all yours”
As the last words came out, the man in front of him slowly sank down on his knees, eyes locked on Albus as he did.
The brown-haired man let out a gasp as the man kneeling in front of him started kissing his thighs, his stomach, slowly moving down, putting sweet kisses on his flaccid cock.
He stopped paying attention to his cock as soon as he got Albus hard and eager.
Gellert always enjoyed torturing him.
Instead, the man started stroking Albus’s thighs with the soap, cleaning off the mess he had made last night, rubbing off the now dry blood that had dribbled from Albus’s hammered hole as Gellert took him roughly, mixed with his semen.
A gentle hand played with his hole as Gellert cleared the area, his face nearly buried in Albus’s crotch, yet annoyingly Gellert continued focusing on cleaning all the mess he had made
“Does it hurt?” asked a soft voice
Gellert didn’t push a single finger in his hole, he just rubbed against it, waiting for Albus to reply
“A little, yeah” Albus answered, surprised to see a hint of regret on the other man’s face, thinking with himself that he should better have lied.
Gellert pulled back his hands and fixed them on both sides of Albus’s hips
Innocent eyes looked up “I’m sorry”
And Albus knew immediately he’d forgive Gellert no matter what the man did
He was as much in love with the evil side of Gellert as he was with his angel side.
He could set the world on fire and Albus would still be in love with him.
“Your apology is noted and appreciated”
Gellert smirked at the mocking tone
“Well, the least we can do is make up for it,” a mischievous grin appeared on Gellert’s face and his beautiful colourful eye sparkled “Shall we?”
Albus let out a heavy moan as Gellert finally took him in his mouth. Unsure of what to do with his own hands, he placed them on Gellert’s head, as his cock slid into the man's throat.
Albus really couldn’t control his loud moaning, not with the hot water splashing against his back and Gellert taking his length completely into his mouth and sucking him mercilessly with both his hands gripping Albus’s buttocks.
His neck fell back, his eyes closed. He ran his hands through Gellert’s hair as the man sucked the head of his cock and moaned while swallowing down all the pre-cum. He could see the stars. When was the last time he had felt this good? He couldn’t remember. He was certain, however, that the whole neighbourhood was able to hear his pleasant screams. The thought embarrassed him. . . what would his people think of him if they heard him yelling out the name of his enemy like this?
“Gellert –”
The man underneath moaned every time Albus cried out his name
“Fuck – Gellert,”
Gellert moved on to his balls, licking them before starting to suck on them as well, making Albus’s vision blurry.
He wasn’t sure how long his legs could keep him standing, his knees were far too weak. And he wanted nothing more than just being held by Gellert for eternity.
Gellert lapped at him with long swipes of his tongue, from root to tip.
“You taste so good, love”
“Ah –” was the only thing Albus could give him in response which made Gellert giggle shortly before wrapping his lips around the head of Albus’s cock again, suckling on the sensitive tip
“Fuck, I’m gonna come”
Gellert didn’t seem to be affected by the warning, he even wrapped his one hand around the rest of Albus’s length, his other hand still gripping his ass tightly, so tight Albus was sure the man’s fingernails were going to leave a mark there as well.
“I’m gonna come” Albus grunted out a warning again
Gellert kept stroking his length with his hand, faster and faster while still sucking the head of his cock, until Albus came in his throat with a hoarse scream. Gellert also moaned while swallowing down Albus’s seed to the last drop before pulling out.
Albus’s knees collapsed but Gellert was there to catch him.
“That was amazing,” said Albus finally catching up to his breath after a few minutes passed in Gellert’s arms. His head was resting against Gellert’s chest, sitting down on the tub while water poured on them from above like the rain.
Gellert smiled and kissed his temple, one hand stroking his beard.
“Wait here, I’ll get the towels”
“But you didn’t finish –”
“That was not about me, love. You’re tired enough as it is. We have plenty of time”
Albus didn’t say that he always knew when Gellert was lying.
“I love you,” said Albus as the other man walked out of the tub, to which Gellert smiled before going through the door.
‘Who will love you now, Dumbledore?’
Albus’s heart twitched as he remembered the words.
He turned off the water, waiting for Gellert to return fully dressed again, a white towel in his hand.
“Get up”
After wiping him, Gellert covered him with the towel and lifted him up against Albus’s protests.
“Don’t want to hurt yourself falling down again!” he said
Albus was put on the bed, watching Gellert collecting his pieces of clothing.
“Am I allowed to put them on myself?” Albus teased
Gellert was gazing out the window as Albus began dressing. He seemed bothered as if there was a heavyweight on his shoulders and Albus couldn’t tolerate seeing him like this.
“Gellert” he called
No response, so he walked towards the man, wrapped his arms around him and pulled him into a tight hug from behind, putting kisses on his shoulder.
“Albus –”
Sensing what was about to come, he stopped Gellert by putting a finger on his lips
“Hush, no words, remember?”
Gellert turned around, the corner of his lips turned up a little but his eyes didn’t share the same emotion. He pulled Albus in for a long kiss, longer than any of their kisses before.
“Are we still Gellert and Albus at the moment?”
Gellert nodded “what do you want?”
“You were right, I am tired, would you hold me to sleep?”
“I can do that”
As Albus opened his eyes again in the afternoon, he wasn’t in the same bed. He was in his room at his brother’s house. He saw a note next to his scarf, the scarf that Gellert had once given him.
‘I have loved you always,
I always will
Forever yours,
Gellert’
As soon as the last word was read the note began burning in fire and turned into ashes.
