He was tired, but happy. Happier than he’d been, truly been, in a long while. He’d convinced Alphard to come to his parents house for a family dinner- perhaps it was the promise that he would be helping his mother in the kitchen or that neither of them had seen neither Sirius or Marlene in a little while. But Alphard was here, for dinner, and it had been the best family dinner he’d had despite the world outside.

He gave Alphard a small smile, shy and quiet and he reached down to take his hand before pressing a kiss to his cheek. “Figured it’d be best ta get away a moment b’fore mum starts askin’ questions.” Questions Maddock wasn’t sure he wanted, as his mother was a prying being. “Just a walk. James and Mar have this little wooded path they’ve marked when they were wee. At tha risk of soundin’ romantically cliche.”

It’s just so beautiful, James might cry. He takes a solid five minutes to himself, just examining every detail he can, taking in the shape of her, admiring her curves and edges and the way her face holds so many secret expressions that he’d want to someday tease out of her.

Once he’s done that, he pens a quick response, nothing as poetic and symbolic of anything that he’d actually felt when he received the photo, of course.

To: Lily

You look smoking hot. Why don’t you come by and show me the real thing?

Love, James

When she’d sent the picture, she knew full well what she had been doing. Obviously. She’d, however, hoped for a response that was a little more -- tit-for-tat, so to speak. Head duties were absolutely rubbish tonight, and she was bored out of her mind making next month’s schedule. What’s the point of having a boyfriend if he didn’t play along and entertain her?

To: James

Really, Potter? That’s all you’ve got for me? Next time I’ll send it to someone who will reciprocate my efforts. Sirius has pretty good taste, after all. 

Love, Lily.

“Wait!” Marlene yells with a laugh but it was no use. No longer were they in the front room was a tiny dark haired girl with dark eyes was bounding straight towards Alphard. Skidding to a stop only to hold out the corners of her dress and bend her knees and give the man a sweet smile. Which lasted about half a second before she was attaching herself to his legs.

“H’ppy new year, uncle Alphie! Mummy says I have’ta give you an uncle Maddy kisses.”

“Well, this party just got a whole lot more interesting. Got a name, handsome?”

He has the old god’s same cat-and-mouse smile, same sex-slick moves, same strange and mischievous eyes--but oh, honey, they look so much better on him. Di even barks out a laugh, all sophistication and charm, all inexplicable draw and catch. The power coursing through his veins whispers clear directions in the back of his mind. The old god underutilized these talents. He won’t.

And the very first test of these, of course, is going to be drawing in a delicious little something with energy he can feed on for a while.

Di is hypnotic like this and he knows it. What’s the fun of influencing a mind if you can’t use it to draw a little attention to yourself?

“I do love a man in blue. Very elegant. Very chic.”

“In a moment.” The letter he’s in the middle of writing is of great importance and while Alphard looks cozy and welcoming in their bed-- sadly, it needs to wait. The minister wasn’t one who liked to be kept waiting and Maddock had promised updates nearly two days ago.

A short blow of air to dry fresh ink on parchment and it’s soon sent on it’s way; leaving Maddock with nothing to do but strip down to his pajayma pants, sliding into bed alongside his lover and pulling him close. Lips pressing kisses to the back of that delectable neck of his. Every freckle getting attention of it’s own and Maddock’s content hum sounds more like a chuckle when buries his face against Alphard’s shoulder.

“lets run away,” whispered with a hint of a smile, “I know we can’t, not really, but it’d be nice.”

“Darlin’ I can see ya shakin’ from here.” Maddock sighs, sits up and scoots carefully behind Alphard and wraps arms around him from behind. Chin resting on his lover’s shoulder and lips press softly to cool skin. He’s a worrier, always had been and so long as Alphard was awake and uncomfortable, Maddock would be here to soothe whatever it was away.

“Tea?” he asked softly while thumbs rubbed softly atop silken pajamas. “Or I can run ye a bath.”

He sits beside Harry on the bed, unsure of what to say or do or-- well, anything. Marley was always good at this, teenager in a crisis. But Alphard spending the weekend at the flat left the pair of them all to themselves. And come tomorrow he’d play the good guardian and get a few muggle flicks for them to pick fun at but tonight- he’d be the responsible one.

“Hungry?” he asks after a long while. “Been toyin’ with a soup- Marls grew tha carrots herself.”

[gingerrxsnaps]

“More of a reward,” Maddock hums. It just so happened that Alphard being clean for a little while now and this cheesy holiday just so happened to coincide nicely with goals that were quickly coming. Fingers gently travel down Alphard’s arm and land on his wrist, encircling it while giving a wicked grin and lifting it to his lips to press a kiss inside his lover’s palm. 

“There’s a blindfold in each one of those boxes as well.” His lips are now hovering near Alphard’s ear, “But I wasn’ quite sure on your liking towards all that.” He had a good idea-- but some things he didn’t want to assume and while he would play his part, he wanted Alphard to be comfortable. “Tell me what ye want, Alphard.”
