Chapter 20
Charlie sprawled in a chair in the room he shared with Bill, slouched down, watching Bill pace. Slightly pale, he sipped at a beer he felt he needed to help his nerves. While plenty worried, he didn’t feel the need to work off the nervous energy like Bill did. That didn’t mean his thoughts weren’t racing all over and jumping to the worst case scenario, though. They were and he wondered how bad this would end up to deal with. The secret they had kept since they were teenagers ended up exposed and he didn’t know how to handle it. After another sip of his beer, he sighed and locked his eyes on Bill. Then he asked, voice quiet, “What do you think will come of it? Realistically, I mean. We know what the worst it can end up.”
“I don’t know,” Bill groused, arms folded over his chest, pacing faster. “We have to wait and see, honestly.”
“Harry is right on one part; who is he to say anything. I mean, he’s bonded to Sirius,” Charlie tossed out there. “That’s frowned upon and plenty howled over it.”
“True,” Bill agreed with a nod, still pacing. “Except they aren’t really related. They also didn’t grow up around each other.”
“Agreed,” Charlie admitted softly, shaking his head. “He did mention how we are adults. That would factor in.”
“It will,” Bill told him, hoping that part would win out over all if they did have to explain it. After all, this was a completely consensual relationship, in all ways. Both hands scrubbing through his hair, he let out a loud groan, head dropping back. “We don’t need this.”
“No,” Charlie told him honestly. “If there is a bright side it’s Harry saw it, no one else. With the lifestyle he and Sirius live, not to mention the club they own, I doubt they’ll say anything to anyone else or throw a big fit.”
“We can hope,” Bill said softly, shaking his head. “It’s still just the idea they know when we’ve done all we could to hide this from everyone all these years.”
“Well, yes,” Charlie conceded after taking another bracing drink of his beer. “I just think,” he started after putting the bottle aside, “if someone did find out, Sirius and Harry are the best option for plenty of reasons. I doubt either of them are going to run to Mum and Dad then squeal.”
Bill thought over what Charlie said then gave a slow nod, “You’re right.”
“Not sure if Mum or Dad know about the club. They might have mentioned something at some point, but I doubt they know much, especially Mum,” Charlie tossed out there. “The same with almost everyone else.”
“Again, I agree,” Bill sighed. After summoning a chair, he flopped down in it, stretching out his long legs. With a groan, he admitted, “It was our own damned fault, honestly. We should have waited until we were through the wards on this floor to do anything. Since living here, we’ve heard both of them come home during normal club hours for various reasons and knew to stay alert. It came down to we didn’t, period.”
“Too late now to kick ourselves for it,” Charlie grumbled, downing the last of his beer then vanishing the bottle. “It’s a lapse we’re paying for though.”
Bill just nodded, saying nothing more. Mind all over the situation, he let out a soft groan then shook his head. This was a right nightmare he didn’t know how to deal with.
“We won’t sort this tonight, Bill,” Charlie told his brother softly, shaking his head. “Let’s try to get some rest, though it’s doubtful we’ll get much sleep. Then we’ll see what tomorrow brings. From what we’ve discussed, we’re going back to the club tomorrow, so we’ll have to face the two at some point. Just hiding out won’t help a damned thing.”
“Oh yes,” Bill told him. Finally straightening up, he then stood and stretched. Despite the adrenaline rush over what happened, he was tired as this was long past the time he tended to go to sleep. While he might not fall asleep as quickly as normal, it would come. “Let me do the loo first then you can. Doubt we’ll talk to either tonight, but probably will tomorrow. Then we’ll go from there with the whole bit.”
“Go ahead,” Charlie told him with a tired sigh. While sleep wouldn’t come easy, he was knackered. At least crawling in bed and relaxing the best he could would help.
It was about five in the morning when Harry and Sirius finally came in, about their normal time when it came to the weekends because of how busy the club was and the longer hours. Once they arrived home it took another hour or so to get ready for bed, despite how tired they were. Unlike during the week, the two tended not to play around too much on the weekends because of the demand at the club and the hours they put it. Unless something at the club tripped their triggers in some way, rarely did they do anything sexual, just sticking with the normal. Tonight wouldn’t end up an exception. With as busy as they had been, they were exhausted.
As Sirius cleaned up, like he normally did before bed, he called out to Harry, who was waiting for him in the bedroom like usual, “What did you see earlier? Been curious because of that grin you had.” He didn’t expect anything horrid, but it had piqued his curiosity.
Harry was standing in the bedroom in nothing but his cuffs, collar and leash. At the question, he chuckled and grinned hugely, saying, “Best to wait until you come out to enlighten you. It explains some bits I wondered about, though! Besides, I want to see the look on your face when I tell you.”
“This should end up good,” Sirius laughed, finishing up quickly since he was now highly curious.
After stepping into the bedroom, he gave a pleased nod that Harry was standing just like he should. While this was normal, there were still times when the darkness in Harry liked to fight whatever he did. Anymore, it was minor areas, nothing huge, but it was there. Sending his dirty clothes to the hamper, he then flopped, nude, on the bed after grabbing Harry’s leash. Giving it a tug, he pulled Harry onto the bed beside him. Once Harry was settled and comfortable, he said, “Right, start talking. What happened?”
Once he curled up to Sirius like he usually did, Harry then chuckled and explained what he saw when he came home alone. When he finished, seeing Sirius grin, he snickered then told him, “Explains the closeness. And I can tell you it was rather hot to watch.”
“Damn,” Sirius muttered, shaking his head, not sure what to make of it.
“They’re legal adults, so I don’t see what the issue is. Their business, not ours, Sirius.” Harry told him with a shrug. “Not like they’re hurting anyone. We know plenty have speculated you and I were doing plenty when I was underage. It’s something we’ve heard often. If they are, and the kiss tells us they probably are as heated as it was, it’s not like they are just kids. They can easily make the choice.”
“Very true,” Sirius nodded, scratching his chin. Then he sighed and agreed, “You’re right; their business, not ours. If it makes them happy, we won’t stick our noses into it.”
“Plenty would frown on what we do with the BDSM and such,” Harry shrugged, arm draping over Sirius. “You know what people say about if it they don’t understand.”
“Again, you’re right,” Sirius admitted, slipping an arm around Harry and pulling him close.
“I’m also sure they’re completely panicked right now wondering what we’ll have to say to them about it,” Harry then chuckled slightly evilly. With a shake of his head, he added, “I always wondered if Fred and George were doing something, even way back because of how close they were. Don’t think so now, just them being close, but it was there.”
“They were very close,” Sirius nodded. Then he sighed and told Harry, “I’ll talk to them tomorrow before you come down and tell them it makes no never mind to us as long as they keep it to themselves. We keep ours to ourselves, so not a hardship there.”
“Good way to deal with it,” Harry said. Then, grinning, he added, “Better you than me as I’m sure I’d come across with a comment again about how hot it looked.”
“That wouldn’t help, Harry,” Sirius laughed, giving him a squeeze.
“No, but it was,” Harry chuckled. When Sirius gave him a playful elbow, he laughed and said, “It was! They’re both good looking in their own way, though not my type, and to see them kissing that passionately was nice. You know I have a voyeurism thing when it comes to watching sex.”
“Yeah, you do,” Sirius admitted with a chuckle himself. “I can see where it might be nice to watch,” he then admitted with a bit of a sheepish grin, scratching his chin. “Probably would have a bit myself, well until they noticed me.”
“Just what I did,” Harry conceded, still grinning. “Then told them just what I did you.”
“Bet that went over well,” Sirius snorted, still grinning. The filter on Harry’s mouth didn’t work well at times and he could blurt out plenty. It was related to the darkness in him now, something inside him twisting to where he just said what he thought at times when he wasn’t around to help. In this case, Harry would have, not thinking anything about it. Well, or it was Harry’s strange way of putting them at ease.
“They didn’t take it well,” Harry snorted. “Both were rather pale.”
“I’ll talk to them, don’t worry.” Sirius assured him, visions of the panic the two were probably feeling making him grin just a bit. While he wouldn’t like feeling that way, it was amusing to envision it for someone else!
With a shake of his head, he figured he’d work out the following day what to say to them and changed topics. Grinning once more, he gave Harry squeeze then joked, “You sure you don’t want a tattoo or piercing like they did tonight? They offered to do ours for free, like normal.”
Harry rolled his eyes then snorted before saying, tone dry, “Only if you get the same ones, Sirius! No chance. I know you have the tats from prison, but I don’t want one.”
“I just wanted to make sure. After all, you can change your mind,” Sirius laughed, knowing the answer before Harry gave it. Since Harry didn’t handle even watching them do either the piercings or tats well, the idea of getting one was fairly clear and always had been. This was the standard joke, honestly. The guys who came in to do them always wanted to get their hands on Harry to work with since he didn’t have any of either, unlike most who came in the club. It was rather akin to working with a blank slate for them, something they liked.
“Not on this topic,” Harry told him firmly, giving a shake of his head. “Not something I can handle and never will.” Then he asked, curious, “You going to take them up on the offer to remove yours? I’m asking because you seemed quite interested in it when they offered.”
“Actually, yes,” Sirius told him, settling down closer and finding the position he wanted after hooking Harry’s leash on the headboard. “I thought I would set up the first appointment this week, on one of our days off. From what they told me, it won’t take much to get rid of them, only about three treatments. It’s just a reminder I’d like to get rid of. Besides, they’re a dead giveaway of who I am in the club. If I get rid of them, I can wear short sleeves and leave my shirt open. Rather like the idea.
“I understand,” Harry nodded after thinking it over. Then he added, “Not sure if I could watch them doing it, Sirius. As I have no foundation for knowing what it involves and I imagine it’ll hurt, it might not be best for me to come along.”
“Something I did think of,” Sirius told him. “Since it’s the first of the week with Charlie and Bill working, I thought you could stay home. Shouldn’t take more than an hour. You’ll be fine on your own for that amount of time, especially with no one around to bug you. Hell, I’ll set it up early enough to where you’re sleeping and just let you while I go.”
“That’s fine,” Harry agreed. They didn’t often have time alone, so it was nice for short increments. Besides, if he was asleep, it wouldn’t be an issue. “Even if Bill and Charlie are around, I don’t see a problem. They’re two I like talking to.”
“That’s fine as well,” Sirius told him, making a mental note to say something to the two about it. If he couldn’t schedule it during the day, he could at night and leave Harry with them. He’d be fine and could just continue on with their mentoring or something.
Then, with a groan, Sirius’ eyes slid shut. “Let’s get some sleep. Tomorrow will end up just as busy, something we both know, so we need rest.”
Harry just nodded, eyes going shut as well. Yeah, he was tired. The weekends always ended up plenty stressful and busy, something which wore him out. He needed sleep to tackle the following night and stay alert. Feeling Sirius give him a squeeze, he smiled then gave a soft sigh, relaxing.
After a sip of his coffee, Sirius took a seat at the kitchen table with a tired groan. Like most weekends, he was still tired when he woke. It came with the territory when it dealt with the busy weekends. Once he took a bigger drink, he glanced between the other two men, noticing the uptight and wary looks there. Once he set Kreacher to preparing brekky, knowing Harry would come down after a shower, he said, jumping right in, “Right, Harry told me what he saw last night.”
Bill immediately stiffened up then looked at Charlie, who was pale, before sighing and starting, “Sirius...”
Before Bill could go on, Sirius held up his hand then said, “Let me finish before you say anything.”
Now expecting the worst, Bill just nodded, mind all over the place.
Charlie just looked down at the table, tense and waiting to hear how bad this would get.
“Harry was right; not our business. You’re adults and can do as you please. We aren’t ones who should judge anything. Whatever you’re doing, and I truly don’t care as long as it’s consensual and not abusive, confine it to your floor within the wards. It’s all I ask.”
“Will do,” Bill nodded, relieved it wasn’t worse.
Though Charlie nodded, he didn’t say anything, happy it wouldn’t go any further.
Just to put them more at ease, Sirius told them, “We won’t say anything to anyone, my word there. Neither of us want to know anything beyond what Harry saw last night. Good by you two?”
“That’s fine and we’ll stay a bit more cautious,” Bill told him, much relieved and happy it wouldn’t go any further and Sirius didn’t act like he would ask too much.
“Now that we have it out-of-the-way let’s press on like normal,” Sirius told them after downing the rest of his coffee. “You two coming to the club again tonight?”
“We were planning on it, yes,” Bill nodded, happy they were back to a topic they were comfortable with.
“Will it be anything like last night, busy wise?” Charlie asked, curious and pleased they slid away from something he sure as hell didn’t want to discuss with Sirius.
“Yes, actually,” Sirius nodded. “We plan for it to end up just as busy, if not more so.” Then, with a shrug, he added, “The weekends are always really busy, though weekends like this end up worse. With it being the last true day of the weekend we’re open, we tend to end up packed. Just do what you did last night and stick with Harry. He’ll walk you through what you need to know. Plus it’ll keep the fools away from him.”
“Easily done,” Bill assured him, smiling a tad.
“I do have one bit to cover,” Sirius then launched in. Explaining the appointment he wanted to set up, he said, “Shouldn’t be an issue if it’s early. If not, Harry will stay alone with you two and press on with what you’re working on. Not to worry there. Just want you aware I won’t be around.” Though the two didn’t know why he didn’t like leaving Harry alone, he wanted them aware.
“It’s not a problem, Sirius,” Charlie told him with a smile, sipping his butterbeer. “Even if we don’t delve into that bit, we’ll just shoot the shit with him, nothing more.” He thought it odd Sirius seemed concerned about leaving Harry alone and wondered where it came from, honestly. The niggling he had was it dealt with the changes in Harry since he died. While he had no confirmation of it, he thought it might relate as Harry was so different.
“Not sure how long it’ll take, but it’s something I want done. And Harry made it right clear he doesn’t think it would end up something he’d handle well. Not going to force him to sit and watch something that might cause issues.”
“Not sure if I would handle it well,” Bill admitted with a shake of his head. “While we do it differently than Muggles, from what I know, it doesn’t sound like a painless procedure to me.”
“They said it isn’t, but not horrific,” Sirius told them, shaking his head. “Want them gone, for multiple reasons, so I’ll deal.”
“Don’t blame you there,” Bill agreed, understanding where it came from. Then he began to ask about the club that night and what Sirius thought it would end up like. This was so they knew and could plan ahead.
“Is it me, or did it sound like Sirius was asking us to almost babysit Harry?” Charlie asked his brother after the other two left for the club. As he was now nice and relaxed, no longer worried about what might come of the incident last night, he ended up more focused on other parts.
“Almost sounded that way, didn’t it?” Bill admitted, sipping his butterbeer. “He didn’t come right out and say it, couching it more like to let us know Harry would be around, but it’s odd. I mean, it is their house, so it wouldn’t matter if Harry was hanging around or not.”
“Makes me wonder if it relates to the changes we’ve seen in him since he came back.” Charlie said quietly, pondering it harder. “I mean, Harry’s odd since then and changed. We know they’re hiding something about it, just not sure what.”
“Doesn’t matter, honestly,” Bill shrugged. “If they can tolerate what they are from us, we can them. Besides, we’re used to Harry this way now.”
“True,” Charlie conceded with a nod. “Just curious is all, nothing more. Makes me wonder what is really going on.”
“Best not to get too curious lest they do the same with us,” Bill pointed out.
“More I’ll agree with,” Charlie chuckled. “I’ll curb it, but it makes you wonder. I don’t think anyone told us everything when it comes to what happened.”
“Doubtful they did,” Bill admitted. “Doesn’t matter,” he then added. “Harry’s a good bloke and always has been. He’s just a tad odd now, nothing more. We can handle it. After all, we’ve put up with worse from our brothers.”
“True, that!” Charlie laughed, relaxing more. Giving Bill a nudge, he suggested, “We might want to take a nap before we head to the club tonight. A bit tired myself anyway. Since we stayed later than we planned last night, I bet it’ll end up the same way.”
“Good suggestion we need to take,” Bill agreed.
“Which means you need to curb impulses, Bill,” Charlie then grinned. “No molesting me. We need rest if we want to stay alert tonight.”
“I promise,” Bill told him. Then a roguish grin spread across his face and he added, “When we come home tonight you need to watch out though!”
“Oh bloody hell,” Charlie snorted, trying not to grin himself. “I’m in trouble!”
“You are since I didn’t have a chance to do any molesting this morning,” Bill told him, that grin growing more.
“Yeah, I’m in real trouble,” Charlie said, still grinning himself. It felt better for this to go back to normal without the stress of the worry which they had dealt with last night. “Don’t get too many ideas when it comes to some of this shit from the other side of the club. You even dance too close to some of it and I’m hexing you!”
“I know your limits when it comes to some, so I won’t go there,” Bill assured him, already thinking what he wanted to try when they got home. While he wouldn’t go into anything Charlie didn’t like, he wanted to push a few areas and try something new. The tying up came to mind there. It was something Charlie wouldn’t take issue with since they trusted each other.
Then, sobering up, he added, “Some night soon we need to cover what you don’t want to get into when it comes to some of this. Don’t want to step over a line with you.”
“We do,” Charlie agreed. “Whatever night you want, just so it’s one both of us aren’t tired or overly stressed.”
“We’ll plan on it sometime this week,” Bill nodded. After he downed the last of his butterbeer, he stood with a groan and said, “I’m going for a nap. Will make sure to set an alarm so we can be at the club about the same time as last night.”
“Good plan,” Charlie agreed, downing his own drink. He then stood and followed his brother. While he listened to Bill talk about a few things, his mind was on Harry. Though he shouldn’t be too curious about what Sirius said and what it could mean, he was. Maybe, if he paid close enough attention he could figure it out. It wasn’t anything rotten, from what he could tell, but it made him wonder.
