Oliver got out of practice a bit early. They'd worked hard and he'd begged off going to the weight room after lunch. He'd flooed home and his mother had told her he needed to speak to her. He'd never made such a request and she seemed shocked, but had agreed, albeit reluctantly ( Read more... )

Oliver smiled. "I don't need a camera. I'll remember, and what I forget will be worth forgetting." He tipped Fred's face back and kissed him deeply. "You're welcome. And I love you too."

He led Fred down the steps and stopped in the sitting room, where his mother had sat down with her tea.

"We're going," Oliver said, nodding at her. He really wasn't sure what else to say. He wouldn't see her again.

"Take care of yourself," she said, standing and walking them to the door.

"You too. If you need anything, you can..."

"I know."

Oliver shoved his hands in his pockets. "I'll talk to dad in a week or so. I won't tell him that you know."

"Thank you."

He nodded and then hugged her, and she patted his back awkwardly. "Bye mum," he said, smiling.

"Goodbye, Oliver." She nodded at Fred and opened the door for them and Oliver took Fred's hand, looked at her once more, and led him out onto the porch.

When the door closed behind them, Oliver glanced at Fred. "The stream is off the property. We're safe to go there if you want? If you still want to see it."

Fred had watched the whole exchange with his heart in his throat. He couldn't imagine his mother ever telling him Goodbye.

He smiled at Oliver's mother and would have told her to please let them know if she ever needed help, but he'd been fairly certain he'd not be able to get the words out.

Fred nodded, smiling at Oliver when he mentioned the stream. Maybe he could make him smile. "Please," he said softly.

Oliver led him around the house, pulling him along a bit quicker as they passed the cellar door. It was stupid, he knew, but he couldn't help it.

Once they crossed the apparition wards, he slid his arm around Fred's waist, looking back at the house and then at his lover. "Hey, it's okay. Honest. I love my mum... and she'd have been a good mum, if it wasn't for him. I think. But I mourned her a long time ago. Really."

He squeezed Fred to him and nudged his hip with his own. "I want to see what pictures you knicked, too. Did you get the one of me the day I got into the blueberry preserves? I looked like a potions experiment gone awry."

As they walked, the sound of the stream grew louder the closer they got. "You're okay? I just don't want you to be too disappointed. I think she liked you. How could she not?"

Fred followed, holding Oliver's hand as if he'd disappear. He noted why they were walking faster and briefly contemplated sneaking back to burn the house down, starting in the cellar. Still, he couldn't harm Oliver's mum.

When they were past the wards, into the forest Fred stopped and pulled Oliver hard into his arms. "I'm fine. I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you. I don't know how, exactly, but I'll spend the rest of my life trying." He kissed him and buried his face in Oliver's neck and kissed him again.

"The pictures are all perfect," he murmured into his neck. "Just like you."

"Babe... what do you feel like you have to make up to me?" He stroked Fred's back as he held him reaching up to knead the muscles in his neck. "There's nothing to make up. This is just a place I used to live. It means nothing." He nuzzled against Fred's throat. "YOU are what matters now, gorgeous. Just you."

He pulled back and kissed him, his fingers carding through Fred's hair. "Now, you'll cheer up. I don't need to toss you in the stream to make you smile, do I?" he teased lightly.

gredisfred September 10 2007, 00:29:40 UTC

Fred tried to smile, did his level best and he ended up kissing him as if he were air. "I'm sorry that it's my fault you'll never see your Mum again." He closed his eyes. "And I'm sorry I can't kill your father."

It took him a minute and then he consciously got a grip. Charlie would have had a field day with his last 10 minutes. "So show me this stream, lover, and you can throw me in it if you like. Lord knows I deserve it."

"Whoa," Oliver said, pulling back and gripping Fred's biceps, shaking him just a bit. "It is not your fault that I'm not seeing her again. She's welcome to see me whenever she wants. But she won't, because of HIM. You got that? It's not to do with you. She didn't get to see me often anyway. In the last few years I've seen her maybe twice. So stop this right now." He pulled him to his chest and kissed him, reaching up to rub his own neck. "Jesus. I had no idea you were thinking such a thing. God." He kissed him again, harder this time.

gredisfred September 10 2007, 00:38:35 UTC

Fred let Oliver shake him, thinking that he deserved that at least. "I love you," he said, hands going to pull the hand from his neck, rubbing it.

Oliver sighed and shook his head. "Love, come on. If Ginny decides she doesn't want to be around because you're marrying me, are you going to tell me it's my fault? Will it be my fault? Whats the difference?"

gredisfred September 10 2007, 00:44:31 UTC

"She wouldn't refuse to see me. She might refuse to hang with us together but she'd never cut me off. She has sense. And she loves me. And she knows I love her. And of course it wouldn't be your fault and how can your mother let you go? I'll never let you go."
