Chapter 5
Charlie sighed, running his hands through his hair. He was on the backyard of his family house, waiting for his brother to finish talking to his father.
-Everything will end up okay, Charlie - Bill said, running his hands through his brother's arms, hugging him from behind.
-I don't know, Bill. After everything mother and Ronald did. How could Harry ever look at us without remembering all of this?
Bill nuzzled against Charlie's nape, planting a soft kiss.
-We have to go to him and let him decide, love. Let's go back to Grimmauld, ok?
-Has Kingsley taken the both of them to the Ministery already?
-Yes, Charl. Let's go. - Embracing the younger man, Bill apparated to the porch of Harry's home, softly knocking on the door.
Harry himself opened it, looking tired and worn out.
-Please come in, Bill, Charlie - the raven haired man said.
He led them up to the living room, where there was a mattress and a steaming mug of hot chocolate by it.
-Here's the only place I could put a TV on, so I'm used to sleeping here - Harry said, not looking at the pair.
Bill softly touched Harry's face, making him face him, a soft smile playing at the edge of his lips.
-We've taken care of everything, Har.
Charles put on Harry's vault key on his hands, closing it over the key, and them softly kissing his closed fingers.
-Oh... - Harry softly gasped, sitting on the edge of the mattress.
-We came here to talk to you about this, Harry. Ever since we met you for the second time, during the Quidditch World Cup, we've been...
-Intrigued- said Charlie, smiling at his brother's lack of words
-By you. Not because of money, or...
-I never thought you were, Bill, Charlie. You've all seemed very sincere, both of you. Let me try and help you, please correct me if I've got this all wrong. But you... both fancy me?
-We do - Charlie said, his voice low, while Bill enthusiastically nodded.
Harry breathed out a laugh, laughing until he was sobbing, his face hid on his hands.
-Oh, Harry, sweet, no, there's no need to this - Bill said, sitting and embracing him, letting Harry cry on his shoulder.
Charlie embraced him from the other side, making Harry feel warm and safe between both man, until he stopped sobbing, only occasional hiccups left.
-Why were you crying, Harry? - Charlie asked softly, nosing the younger man's hair.
-Ever since I went to hunt the damn Horcruxes, I couldn't stop thinking about you both. I heard your voices on the radio, and I was so happy you were safe and alive. But I thought I was a freak, a freak having a crush in two men.
-Don't you ever again say you're a freak, Harry. Never. You aren't. You're the missing piece to our lives. You're what we've been waiting for all these years.
-I don't know if anyone ever told you, or if you ever read about this, but there's in the wizarding world, in the very department you work in the minister, a room, full of linked names written all over. When Mother Magic gives her blessing to a baby, she also gives him someone who will always be there for him, to whatever needs. Be it a friend, a parent, a lover. And sometimes, to very special people, there are two of these someones.
-Like soulmates? - Harry asked, blushing at the passionate speech Charlie had just given.
-Something like that. You're ours, Harry, just as we're each other's. But even if you weren't, Har...
-We'd still be in love with you - Charlie blurted it out, hiding his blushing face on Harry's shoulder.
-Oh, Charlie, Bill. - Harry sighed, smiling and happily tucking himself under Bill's chin, making the older man lay down on the mattress, so he could be cuddled between both of them.
-Could I kiss you, Har? - Charlie asked sweetly, tracing the brunette's face with his fingers.
-Please, Charlie- Harry murmured, his gasp being muffled by Charlie's soft lips upon his.
Bill kissed him too, and where Charlie was tentative and soft, Bill's kisses were strong and sure.
-We should go, Harry-they said, after a long time.
-Stay here tonight. Please. - He asked
Bill and Charlie exchanged looks, and then smiled at Harry, sprawled, soft and pliant between them.
-We will.
The brothers changed into pajamas, and got back to the bed, Harry between them.
-You both are too far away - Harry said, making both man get closer, their limbs tangling.
-That's more how I like it - Harry smiled, and pecked both Charlie and Bill before cuddling closer and falling asleep.
The brothers smiled, relived that for now, Harry was on their lives.
