Chapter 4

Adrian helped Colin into the wheelchair two days after Seamus left St. Mungos', "There, let's get you to your appointment with Healer Neville..." he pushed the boy in the direction of the Mind Healers wing which included the Janus Thickey Ward. He was attracted Colin's Mind Healer Neville Longbottom. He rarely got to see the man unless he took Colin to and from appointments. He sometimes got a few minutes to talk to him... Merlin did he relish them.

XoooooX

Neville had been reading through the files of several patients just before his session with Colin. The boy was going through an amazing recovery, faster than any Neville had seen before. By now he could already move his upper body and was making progress in his legs but it was the emotional bouncing back he was surprised by. Neville always looked forward to sessions with the boy but he also looked forward to seeing the Healer that usually brought him in.

Adrian said with a grin as they entered the therapy room, "Good afternoon Healer Neville. I'm here with one of your favourite patients." he couldn't help checking out the slightly younger healer, his grip on the handlebars tightening.

Neville pushed up his glasses and smiled at his two visitors "Hello Adrian. How are you doing, Mr. Creevey?"

Colin smiled up at the Healer, not aware of any sort of feelings between the two older men. "Good, thank you. I've got a lot more energy now." Plus he was a lot healthier then when he'd portkeyed into St. Mungos.

Adrian smiled, "It's probably due to Neville's encouragement and your hard work. I'll be back to pick you up after your appointment." he liked it when Neville said his name. He waved and reluctantly went back to his floor until he planned to return to pick Colin up.

"Not at all. It's all Mr. Creevey's hard work. If he wasn't so determined, we would not have gotten this far" Neville smiled warmly at his patient and nodded at Adrian "Thank you for the hard work. I'll... we'll see you later then." A light blush of embarrassment washed over his cheeks and he took a seat opposite Colin's wheelchair for the session.

Adrian walked away, he didn't want to go but he couldn't stay and watch no matter how much he wanted too...

XoooooX

Harry was able to hold down crackers and tea this morning. He went to explore the Nursery at Prince Manor, because Winky and Dobby were fanatical about cleaning it wasn't dusty.

The nursery was decorated in varying shades of green most likely because members of he Prince Family had been sorted into Slytherin for ages.

Harry smirked, with the exception of his sister Nemia of course.

She was a lot like Dad; well they were similar in their being mutually abysmal at Potions and being keen at Charms. Unlike his fathers, Nemia was an Artist, what did one expect with Aunt Annie for a godmother? Annie was an artist herself, landscapes mostly but she still painted. Nemia was also very good at music and poetry. There had been some talk about sending her elsewhere, to the Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts (W.A.D.A) actually. Nemia was extremely close to papa and they didn't want to only see each other during vacation so Nemia had started at Hogwarts with Artemis.

Uncle Lucius had been a musician and had taught Draco and later Nemia to play the piano. Draco learned to please his father but Music wasn't something he really cared for. Nemia took to music like he had to Flying or Artemis to brewing.

When it came to Artemis you almost thought she'd been born in a potions lab rather then the apartments that they'd shared at Hogwarts. Aunt Annie had delivered his sisters, Nemia had been the weaker twin and it took longer for her to breathe. Aunt Annie ignored Nurse Pomfrey and worked on Nemia until she cried.

Papa had hugged her and thanked her over and over.

Aunt Annie looked so uncomfortable and said she was just doing what she was meant to do: Heal.

Harry felt tears course down his cheeks, he wished he had someone to talk to.

Where was Draco? Why was he always gone? If they weren't wanted Harry would leave. He had no one to confide in, he wanted his best friend! No wonder people said you shouldn't be romantically involved with your best friend. Sometimes, you needed your best friend and not your lover.

Harry used a colour changing charm to turn the green yellow and the silver into sky blue. Green had been a calming colour to be but now it make him angry and depressed.

Damn it! What had he done to push Draco so far away? He wanted Draco back!

XoooooX

Adrian barely noticed Seamus had arrived as he hurried back to pick up Colin. He hummed to himself as he retraced his steps. He played with the note in his pocket, "Been waiting long?"

Neville glanced up in the midst of a conversation with Colin to see Adrian who had just arrived exactly on time "No not long. We were just talking about Mr. Creevey and Mr. Finnegan."

Colin pouted slightly up at Adrian from his wheelchair, "Seamus said he'd come to pick me up"

Adrian shook his head, "Actually, he is waiting for you."

Neville tilted his head and blinked "O-oh?" There, he felt the blush creeping back onto his cheeks again. So maybe he had been waiting for Adrian to come around and pick up Colin.

"Oh? Then why didn't he come with you?" Colin asked impatiently because he was excited to see his friend who was already here.

Neville nodded started organizing and filing all of Colin's papers and test results back in his charmed folder that would appear blank to anyone but himself, Colin and Adrian who brought him in on the case. "Then maybe you two should hurry back to the Nonmagical injury ward. I'm sure Mr. Creevey wants to see Mr. Finnegan now." He was a little disappointed since he'd been hoping that maybe Adrian wouldn't leave so quickly.

Adrian took the note out of his pocket and reached to shake Neville's hand, "I'm glad Mr. Creevey has such a hard-working Healer. He is very lucky." the note had his address for flooing and owls as well as an invitation to coffee.

Neville shook Adrian's hand and paused for a split second when he noticed the healer slip him a piece of paper. He smiled "I have to work hard for Mr. Creevey. I want him to get better too." Waving them off, Neville sat down in his chair and looked at the piece of parchment, a blush and a smile making its way onto his face. He'd find Adrian after work then.

Adrian tried not to blush as he noticed Neville's reaction to the note. He pushed Colin back to his bed on the ward and glared at Seamus, "Don't excite him too much. He worked hard in therapy."

Seamus laughed, "I have no intention of doing more then eating and watching a movie..."

Colin chuckled and made a face at Seamus "Yeah~ I worked hard, Seamus". He stuck his tongue out before laughing again. His energy and health were improving and he hardly was as tired as before.

Seamus grinned helping Adrian get Colin back on the bed. He had their dinner in plastic containers; it was leftovers from his lunch. His family's real estate business was doing well now that he had given it the attention it needed to get back on its feet. He'd picked up a new movie. It was the X Men 3 movie. Movies to watch with Colin was his only extravagance...

Adrian left, "Okay then just stay out of trouble..."

Colin settled back on his bed with the help of the two older men before setting his pillow up so he could sit up and lean against it. He took out their dinners and set it out for them both. He waited for Seamus to set up the movie and join him before he would start eating. It was only manners.

Seamus put in the movie and hurried back. He laughed, "You better leave room for me up there. You know it's the best place to watch a movie..." he just wanted to be near him; .he still couldn't tell him yet. That he was falling in love with him; after all it had only been a little more then two weeks since the train accident. It was strange how they'd shared a dormitory in Gryffindor Tower and hadn't been friends before.

"Of course," Colin stuck out his tongue, "It's not like I take up the whole bed." Colin laughed and shifted himself to make room for Seamus, propping up another pillow for the other boy. He patted the space beside him, "Hurry up then." After all he was pretty small for his age.

Seamus climbed in beside him, "Thanks..." he turned the movie on, he smiled, "It's just stir fry with tofu, is it any good?"

"I'm sure it is" Colin smiled and lifted the lid of his container humming in approval before picking up his chopsticks. "Grace" he mumbled before starting to eat slowly, a satisfied moan leaving his lips "Mm…Seamus."

Seamus blushed slightly, "I'm glad..." he ate slowly, "It's just the rest of my lunch...nothing much..."

"But you're getting a lot better. I like it" he smiled and continued eating. It was true. Seamus' cooking only got better and better each time he had it.

Seamus shrugged nervously, "I do my best..." he wanted his food to taste good and be healthy, besides he liked to see Colin smile and cooking was good therapy. He wanted to kiss him so much some times and take him into his arms. He was worried that Colin might not feel the same way; they hadn't been close long.

He wanted so much to leave this hospital and so he was always doing his best to get better before the end of summer so he didn't have to spend the rest of the summer in the hospital. Neville said he was on the way to recovery already and the outlook was bright so that only gave him more strength and determination to get better. He hoped that even if he left this place, he and Seamus would still be friends and hang out.

Seamus asked quickly, "Umm...Colin...I was wondering...when you get out...would you like to stay with me? I'm sure you don't want to be alone and Marcheness is too big for one person."

"Hmm?" he directed his attention to his friend and then blinked at the question. The blank look dissolved into a bright smile and he nodded eagerly "I'd like that!" It was then that he remembered, "When they let me leave."

Seamus smiled, "I overheard them mentioning you might be healthy enough to leave in a day or two. I'll have the house elves set up a room on the ground floor or I' can carry you up the stairs if I have to. I just want my best friend not to be alone..." He wanted to be close to the person he loved...

"Really?" his expression brightened and his hand reached over to tug on Seamus' excitedly. "I don't want to go home yet, I'd like to stay with you for a while too. It'll be great, Seamus." there was no way the smile could be wiped off his face right now. Colin was happy, he wouldn't be alone; he would be with Seamus. Colin smiled and squeezed Seamus' hand "I hope it won't be too much of a bother for me to stay with you, Seamus…"

Seamus squeezed his hand, "It couldn't be a bother...I want this...to spend time with you...then maybe we wouldn't feel so alone..."

Colin nodded and a sigh ran from his lips "We're really alone huh?"

Seamus smiled reaching out to hug him, "You're never alone if you have me..." he whispered, "I'll always be here as long as you want me..." he couldn't leave him...it would kill him...

Colin smiled and leaned into Seamus, noting the tingles that went through his body and how warm it made him feel "Thank you, Seamus. I'm lucky we're friends"

Seamus nodded, "Me too..." he didn't want to be just friends...he put a lid on those desires. Colin needed a friend...he wasn't ready for a lover...he might never be ready to have a lover...

After a while, the warm tingles started to become a little weird and maybe slightly confusing and so Colin pulled away from the hug, a light pink washing over his cheeks.

He smiled and picked up his fork again to finish off the rest of his dinner. "That was really good. I'm done," he announced, putting the lid back onto the empty box to hide his nervousness.

Seamus pulled away, he made him uncomfortable...shit...he silently finished his own and went to wash the dishes. He wanted to be close to him...to comfort him...to make sure he never felt alone...to take care of him...but they were just friends. So he had to be careful not to make Colin uncomfortable. He dried the dishes and went back to sit on the edge of the bed. He smiled, "I should probably let you get some sleep. You need rest...you worked hard today..." he didn't want to leave but he was afraid to stay...

Colin nodded and watched Seamus was the dishes. He wasn't sure what that feeling had been. It was odd but it felt nice. When Seamus sat on the edge of the bed and mentioned leaving, he couldn't help but whinge for a bit. It was boring being in the hospital room alone but then again, he couldn't keep Seamus with him "Mm yeah I guess so. Thanks for coming again". Colin flashed a smile at Seamus.

Seamus heard the whine and then felt his heart pound; he wanted to stay. He stammered, "I could stay until you fall asleep. I don't have anything really important to do tomorrow."

When Seamus offered to stay, Colin shook his head and waved a hand dismissively "Its fine. You should go. I'll be fine". He smiled again and started making shooing motions with his hands "Now go"

Seamus sighed, "Okay...I'll go...same time tomorrow..." he didn't want to go...he wanted to be near him...

"Yep. Good night, Seamus-~" Colin chirped and waved at his friend.

Seamus walked away slowly; he leaned against a cold wall. He sighed glancing up at the entrance to the Ward they'd both stayed in once upon a time, "Sleep well my love..."

XoooooX

It was after he'd finished up with the rest of his sessions, organizing test results and documents that Neville realized that it was late but hopefully not too late. He changed into a simple button down shirt, nice jeans and a thin cardigan. He couldn't stop smiling and humming to himself at the thought of going out with Adrian. Neville picked up the little piece of paper he had put on his desk and went to find Adrian, hoping that the healer wasn't busy or too tired.

XoooooX

Adrian changed after his shift; okay so he just stripped out of the hideous neon green healer's robe. Underneath he was wearing a Weird Sisters' band t-shirt beneath a dress shirt and nice jeans. A stylish leather jacket topped off the outfit. He grabbed his bag from his locker and heard a knock on the door.

XoooooX

Neville inhaled sharply when he did knock on the closed door, "A-Adrian…its Neville." Why he was getting so nervous all of a sudden was a mystery to himself and Neville tried to gather himself "A-are…you in there?"

XoooooX

Adrian grinned to himself, "Neville is that you? I'm not busy I was just finishing up. I was about to leave, so I am definitely free..."

XoooooX

"Oh," Neville let out a soft breath of relief and started smiling as he leaned against the wall, "free to go out for a drink maybe?" He fingered the piece of paper absently, feeling almost like a third year Hufflepuff girl talking to their crush.

XoooooX

Adrian was excited tugging the door open, "Coffee or something stronger? It's late...we could grab a bite to eat if you like..." he was so nervous he talked really fast. He worried Neville didn't catch anything he said...

At first, stunned by the word vomit he'd just heard, Neville ended up giggling softly "Maybe we could go eat something then, I'm actually sort of hungry." He hadn't eaten much all day anyway; he sometimes forgot to eat.

Adrian grinned, "I know a great Muggle barbecue place nearby, if you don't mind walking. Does that sound good?"

Neville smiled, "Barbecue is fine."

Adrian lead the way, pausing in front of the restaurant, "We're here..." his eyes drifted to Neville's lips, he glanced away embarrassed...

Neville blinked when they stopped, he looked over at Adrian, lips curling into a small smile, "Mm…okay…"

Adrian glanced around shrinking his bag and putting it in his jacket pocket. Taking only his wallet out.

Neville nodded, already able to smell how good the food seemed to be. "Do you come here often?" he asked curiously as they stepped inside.

Adrian shrugged, "Sometimes, it's more of a place to come with someone then to eat alone..." he'd been wanting to take Neville here since he found it...

"Guess these restaurants aren't exactly as fun to eat at alone" Neville hummed softly and spotted a table near the back "How about there?"

Adrian nodded smiling at him, "It looks perfect. " Neville had good taste in private places to eat...

Neville led the way towards the table, sliding onto one of the seats and placing his bag on the floor beside him before looking around. It wasn't too crowded but there were a lot of people.

Adrian sat close but not too close...he ordered a beer and a tea for himself. He'd only drink one beer since he was going to be Apparating later, "What would you like?"

"A beer would be good. Ice water too" Neville had a habit of having a beer just to wind down and loosen up after work. It was just an easier way to relax.

Adrian waited for his drinks while glancing at the menu, "I want to have ribs, what would you like?" he'd invited Neville, so that meant he would pay this time...

Neville scanned the menu "Mmm…everything looks so good, maybe the rib eye." He loved good food and so, it was always hard to decide.

Adrian grinned, "Get it if it looks good."

Neville laughed and nodded "Rib eye then."

Adrian took a sip of his beer when it arrived, "A rib plate and a rib eye plate." he turned away from the waitress, "tell me about yourself...what you like to do when you aren't pushing patients to try their hardest?"

Neville took a sip of his beer too, exhaling out of satisfaction before glancing up at Adrian. "Hmm? Oh…umm…when I'm not working with patients I usually just do boring things. Shopping and cooking…" his grandmother had died recently, leaving him everything. Also leaving him very alone…

Adrian smiled, "When it's warm I go surfing- I learned from a Muggle-born Healer-in-Training but usually I just make things like my wallet or my belt."

Neville blinked and tilted his head curiously "Can I see? All I ever make is…food. Especially coffee"

Adrian set his wallet on the table, it was hand laced with a design he had burned into the leather with his wand. It had taken a long time to get just right...

Neville reached out and traced his fingertips over the design "It's beautiful…" The thought that Adrian could make something as beautiful as this was amazing. Not something you would expect from a Pureblood, Quidditch playing Slytherin.

Adrian shrugged, "it's not my first attempt...it's like the tenth I think..." he scratched his head embarrassed slightly...

"It's still very beautiful. You have talent" Neville smiled up at him.

Adrian shrugged, "It's just a hobby...something to make myself forget about the patients and work for a while..."

Neville nodded and hummed in understanding. He on the other hand, couldn't ever forget about the patients. He relaxed but there was always the patient's progress and ways of helping them running around in his mind.

Adrian listened to Neville talk while he sipped his beer; he couldn't cook very well and enjoyed being in the company of someone who could cook. Cute, a caring heart and he could cook, nice package. If Neville were a girl his mother would love him; he squashed the thought immediately.

"Here." The waitress said, setting Adrian's plate down first before setting Neville's down.

Neville started to eat slowly, he grinned, "It's really good..."

"I'm glad" Adrian smiled before he started to eat as well. Taking his first bite, he was satisfied with his ribs. It wasn't too underdone or overdone and that made him happy.

Adrian watched Neville as they ate...there was something special about him. He wanted to spend a lot of time to get to know him...

Noticing a pair of eyes on him, Neville glanced up and met Adrian's gaze. He stared right back for a moment before quickly diverting his eyes back to his food, his cheeks turning pink.

Adrian glanced away after their eyes met, he noticed Neville's blush. He was glad; perhaps they really did feel the same way...

Neville set down his silverware when he was just about full and sat back to sip his beer, feeling a lot better after getting food into his stomach. This time, he watched Adrian eat, eyes tracing over the features of the other's face. He was definitely attractive. There was no point in denying that.

Adrian finished but there was still food on his plate. His beer was gone and he sipped on his tea. He smiled at Neville, "This is really nice...relaxing even..." he wanted to lace their fingers together and squeeze Neville's hand...

Neville nodded and smiled back "It is. We all need this kind of relaxation more often". Eventually, he drained the rest of his beer and set the empty cup onto the table "I think I like this place"

Adrian said quickly, "Then we should come back sometime. "

"What?" he looked at Adrian blankly for a second and then ended up smiling again "We should. It'd be a lot of fun and I like being out with you."

Adrian lightly covered Neville's hand with his own, "I'm full but I don't want to leave yet..." he didn't want to end this date...it was a date right?

It was just a friendly gesture, a gesture that had Neville's heart beating in his chest and made him want to hold onto that warm hand and not let go. "We can go somewhere else if you'd like. I'd rather not take up this table," he suggested, glancing around at the busy restaurant.

Adrian grinned, and gestured for the waitress. He asked for containers for their food. He handed her enough Muggle money for their bill and a tip. He turned to Neville, "We can go as soon she comes back. Where would you like to go?" his place was tiny, he never moved out of the place he ended up in after his parents kicked him out...

"Adrian..." he protested when Adrian paid for the bill and the tip "You shouldn't have". He bit his lip disapprovingly even if it was too late now. "Maybe we can just walk around for a bit, no particular destination. How does that sound?" or he could make them coffee at his place.

Adrian smiled, "I invited you, my rule is if I invite you then it means I pay. We can walk around for a while unless it gets too cold for that."

"If it gets too cold we could call it a night then. Or we could go back to my place for coffee? I don't live that far." he tried to smile a bit at the other, wondering what he thought about that.

Adrian was shocked when Neville mentioned going back to his place for drinks. He hadn't expected that this fast, he said quietly, "If you really want to I wouldn't want to impose..."

"I-its just coffee. Nothing else. I've been experimenting and I think I came up with something good so I was hoping someone could try it out for me and." he'd rambled, incredibly embarrassed with the way Adrian seemed so shocked. The other probably thought he was easy or something for inviting someone over so quickly.

Adrian nodded, "I don't have to stay long, it's not that late but we both have to work tomorrow." he wouldn't want to stay up all night talking and then have to go to work...

"Yeah…not too late" Neville nodded and looked down at their joined hands on the table.

Adrian stood after he put their food into the containers and stored them in the bags. He offered his hand to Neville, "Shall we?" he was nervous about going to the other healer's place, they weren't officially friends or officially dating...

Neville stared at Adrian's hand, unsure if he should take it so instead, he stood on his own, picking up his bag and holding the handles with both hands. "Let's go then," he said softly.

Adrian was saddened when Neville didn't let him help him up. He shrugged it off, he held the restaurant door open for the other, and smiled, "Where to?".

"There's this park not far from here. Do you mind if we go there?" It was a park he often went to and sometimes if he was lucky enough, he'd catch the small ice-cream store before it closed. It was surrounded by anti-Muggle wards because there where pixies who lived there.

Adrian nodded; "If that's where you would rather go." he wished he had the courage to ask if Neville would let him kiss him...

Neville nodded "Yeah its nice there. Maybe you'll like it." At night, the park lit up with small fairy lights casting an amazing shadow all around it. It was also quite a date spot but Neville was always there alone when he went.

Adrian paused to take in the view and smiled, "it is pretty..." he glanced at Neville, he was so cute...

Neville smiled when Adrian paused to admire the view, "It is, isn't it?" his voice came out dazed as he stared at all the fairy lights, creating a majestic image.

Adrian asked quietly, "Would it be weird if I wanted to kiss you?" he was so nervous, that if Neville said no?

Neville was stunned for a moment at that sudden question; he hadn't expected the other to ask him something like that but he also couldn't ignore that his heart beat faster in his chest at that. "Wanting to kiss someone shouldn't be weird." he answered softly.

Adrian whispered, "Can I kiss you then?" he was so handsome…

Neville felt himself burn up and he nodded slightly, fingers fidgeting nervously on his lap.

Adrian leaned over, his hand resting on Neville's cheek, "You're gorgeous..." He brushed his lips against Neville's, and moaned softly.

Neville's breath caught in his throat when Adrian leaned over and rested a hand on his cheek. His eyes fell shut as their lips brushed against each other's, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end "Adrian…"

Adrian gasped as they kissed, "Neville..." he didn't want to stop kissing him; he wanted to hold him. He caressed his cheek, slipping his hands into Neville's hair; .it was so soft...

A soft mewl pulled from his throat and spilled into their kiss. It had been a while since he kissed anyone and this reminded him of how pleasant it was. Adrian's fingers in his hair felt nice and he felt hesitation melt away.

Adrian broke the kiss; he ran his fingers over Neville's lips, "I think I like you a lot..."

Neville gazed up at Adrian, a shy look on his face "I...Adrian..." He was always good with words but tonight, being around Adrian seemed to deplete that skill; "I like you too…"

Adrian smiled, "I'm glad..." he pulled Neville's head to rest on his shoulder, "I don't want this to end..." he wanted stay near him...

He let his head rest on Adrian's shoulder, finding his lips now tugging into a smile. "Maybe it won't..."

Adrian played with his hair, "If there is no end then how can we have a second date?" he held him close...did this mean they were a couple?

"You have a point." he gave a light laugh and he nuzzled Adrian's shoulder a bit. What did this make them? Close friends? 'Seeing each other'?

Adrian kissed his cheek, "If you want a second date...does that mean we're dating?" he wanted to know if Neville wanted to...

Neville bit his lip and nodded "I'd like it if we could try…"

Adrian grinned, "I'd love to date you Healer Neville, I'll be good to you...I promise...you deserve to be treated like you are special..."

"Then when we're alone...just Neville. 'Healer Neville' makes it sound like we're strangers." and he liked to think that they weren't strangers at all.

Adrian nodded, "Neville, it's a perfect name for a wonderful guy. I don't want to be strangers; I want to get to know you and spend a lot of time with you..." there was something really special about Neville…he didn't say that he wanted to court the Longbottom heir but it was his intention.

Neville smiled, his cheeks turning a light pink "You're so sweet, Adrian. I really hope we work out. I'd like that..." His previous relationships never worked out so well and so he was hoping, so much that the two of them would. He liked Adrian and the other seemed so right and so perfect for him. They were both healers...

Adrian played with his hair, "I'll do anything to make you smile...I just want to be with you...it makes me happy..." He lifted Neville's chin and kissed him, "I'm glad you wanted to spend time with me..."

"I'm glad you gave me that note." Neville leaned forwards and gave Adrian a brief kiss again before pulling away and gazing at him. Adrian was handsome and attractive; what did one expect from a pureblood? He was lucky.

Adrian smiled, "I wanted to before...but I didn't have the courage until today. I wished I'd done it sooner; I wasted time. I'm sorry." he wished he'd invited him out sooner...

He tilted his head in curiosity "How long? And don't be sorry; I'm just glad you asked me." Neville smiled softly and gave Adrian a light peck on the cheek.

Adrian blushed, "Not long after you started being Colin and Seamus' mind healer. You were so handsome and your smile took my breath away."

"..." His cheeks burned up, making him blush a brilliant pink, "Adrian..." Neville reached out to slip his hand into the other's "Thank you..."

Adrian held him close, "I just want to be honest, I always want to be honest with you...you're special." he squeezed Neville's hand as he pressed their lips together.

"That's all I really need, I know you'll do that. You're special too." his eyes closed and he kissed back a little, deciding he quite liked when they kissed. After a moment he pulled away to murmur against Adrian's lips "It's late, Adrian…"

Adrian bit his lip, "Okay...I'll walk you home." he didn't want this to end but they had work tomorrow...

Neville nodded reluctantly "Yeah, thank you…" He didn't exactly want to leave, after all; they'd only just gotten together.

Adrian kissed his cheek, "Tell me, how to get there..." he didn't want take him home...he wanted to stay with him...to cuddle and kiss...and talk all night...

Neville told Adrian his address and they walked there, thinking about his apartment, he felt cold.

Adrian reached for his hand as they walked, he really didn't want to leave him; he wanted to stay...

Neville smiled and laced his fingers with Adrian's, just enjoying the silence together. Adrian was special and even if they just started, Neville felt so lucky.

Adrian stopped outside the building, Malloy Place, "I guess we're here..." he didn't want to let go, he wanted to stay beside him...

Neville nodded and leaned over to kiss Adrian on the cheek "Thanks for bringing me home. I guess I'll see you later then?"

Adrian turned to capture Neville's lips, "Sleep well...I'll see you tomorrow. Maybe we could meet for lunch?"

Neville smiled "Yeah maybe. Go ahead and stop by my office okay?" He walked up the building's steps and stopped at the door, turned to give Adrian a small wave "Good night, Adrian. See you tomorrow." Giving him one last smile, he headed back up to his apartment, feeling the happiest he had ever felt in a while.

Adrian waved, "Night..." he missed him already, he hurried after him "Wait..." he took Neville's hand, "I wouldn't be a good boyfriend if I didn't walk you to your door."

"What?" Neville turned to Adrian when he took his hand; a smile broke out on his lips and his heart skipped a beat "You're amazing..." Neville laughed lightly and continued walking, fingers lacing with Adrian's again.

Adrian stayed close as they went up the seven of eight flights of stairs together; "I want to spend more time with you..." He walked him to the door to Neville's flat. He brushed Neville's hand with a kiss before leaning over to kiss the slightly younger healer, "In case you were wondering...I think you're the perfect height..."

Neville blushed when Adrian's lips brushed his hand and then he had to stand on his toes to kiss him, "It's weird being so tall compared to most people..." he admitted with a sheepish smile. Having started out in life being short and chubby, he'd shot up his sixth year. By graduation Neville had been about 5'll and now he was six feet tall. His childhood chubbiness had disappeared due to his having to climb all those stairs all the time as a student. He became chubby because he snacked all the time when he read healing books. His Gran had been surprised he'd been interested in healing when his Parents were Aurors.

Adrian smiled, "It's okay...I like tall handsome guys...you are the nicest looking bloke I've seen..."

"Stop being perfect; my heart can't take it" Neville teased and then laughed lightly again.

Adrian backed up their fingers sliding apart, "I'll see you tomorrow. Sleep well Neville..." he blew him a kiss before disappearing into the night...

Neville let their fingers slide apart and he waved "You too, Adrian". Turning around with a smile on his face, he let himself in, mind swimming with thoughts of Adrian.
