What should've happened

Chapter 6

A few days after their first time, Albus still hadn't come to see Gellert again. Gellert originally thought he might need time to process everything changing but then he started to feel sick, he couldn't stop thinking of the worst possible things having happened to Albus. Gellert needed to go see him even if it was currently the middle of the night. He puts on his jacket and apperates in front of the Dukbkedore residence, everything seems calm but looks can be deceiving.

He goes up to the house and knocks on the door. Gellert looks down at the youngest dumbledore when she opens the door "hello Ariana what are you still doing up?"

Ariana smiles "Gellert hi! Well.." she's pulled away from the door by Aberforth before she could finish her sentence "what have we said about just opening the door at random ari. And what are you doing here" he glares at Gellert.

"I came to see Albus, he hasn't been in contact the past few days. Where is he?" He pushes the door open with his magic when Aberforth goes to shut it "answer me"

"I don't have to" Aberforth holds Ariana behind him

"I'm giving you a choice, either you answer me and I go to see him. OR i barg into your house and tear it apart looking for him. Either way I'm seeing Albus tonight" he leans on the door frame "which will it be?"

Ariana pokes her head out from behind Aberforth "Albus doesn't feel good right now...he said it's because of something.." her mouth was covered by Aberforths' hand.

"Ari. He just had bad food, right Ariana" Aberforth looks at his sister as she nods and he removes his hand.

Gellert glares at Aberforth and goes upstairs "Albus?" He opens the door to his room and shuts it behind him, seeing a mound on the bed. He wasn't sure if it was Albus at first since it was so small, but the mound was breathing. For some reason Albus curled himself so small he was half his size under the blankets.

Albus' quiet voice rings out from the blankets "I said to leave me alone right now Aberforth.." Gellert goes over and sits on the bed, rubbing the blankets.

"Albus-" he starts to say when he's hit by a flying blanket and knocked off the bed.

"I said to leave me-!" Albus had sit up, pushing who he thought was his little brother off the bed but instead saw bright blond hair and multicolored eyes staring back at him "Gellert.." he quickly wiped his face trying not to show he had been crying.

Gellert gets up and sits back on the bed, stopping Albus' hands from the incessant wiping. "You haven't come the past few days, I was starting to think something bad happened so I came to check on you." He wipes a rogue tear from his lover's face "it seems I was right, why are you crying?"

"It's nothing I just get like this sometimes" he closes his eyes and leans on him "I didn't really feel like doing anything the past few days sorry" he feels as Gellert lays them down.

"How long have you felt like this" he wraps an arm around Albus. There had been times where he felt like he couldn't do anything but he just forced himself through it.

Gellert feels Albus shrug "a while? It's not hard when you have to hide everything about yourself" he looks at Gellert "sorry, I shouldn't be trying to explain it to you. You don't deserve someone like me." Albus closes his eyes as he feels Gellerts hold tighten on him

Gellert flips them so he's on top of Albus and looks at him "stop that" he kisses him "I might not deserve you but it's definitely not because of this." He keeps kissing him "and now that I have to tell you about all my visions, you have to tell me whenever you feel like this, even if you have to force yourself to send an owl down the road"

Albus laughs into the kisses, smiling genuinely for the first time in a few days "ok ok" he rests their heads together. He still felt horrible, but Gellert being there and not treating him like a freak for feeling this way was helping. Albus yawns as the door locks "I'm tired, let's sleep"

Gellert nods and sits up, taking off his shirts and laying with him "may I have some blankets Albus" he hums when the blanket is tossed over him and he suddenly gets an armful of the auburn haired teen. "I have to say I'm glad" he closes his eyes

"Why?" Albus looks at him confused, there is nothing to be glad about with what they just talked about.

"That you didn't run away after the other day, and that nothing horrible happened to you" Gellert yawns, feeling relaxed now that he could have a conversation. He pulls Albus close and kisses his head, watching Albus fall asleep and soon falling asleep after him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Albus wakes up again, he was still against Gellerts chest and he decides to keep his eyes closed and listen to his heart, not wanting this to be over if it was a dream. But alas luck was not on his side when Gellert moved his hand to rub the side of his arm.

"Good evening Phönix" Gellert says quietly and kisses his head "how are you feeling now?" He gently pulls Albus' head up to look at him when the other opens his eyes.

Albus snuggles more into the slightly larger teen "better..I still think this is a dream though" he closes his eyes again "I don't want it to end.." he whispers.

"Well you aren't dreaming" Gellert kisses him and pulls him closer so he could run his hands down his back to grab his ass, causing Albus to make a delicious noise to Gellerts ears. He pulls away and looks at the other teen.

Albus  was blushing and lays his head back down "I'm hungry." He hadn't eaten in a few days and had just realized when Gellert came over how long it had been.

Gellert sits up and pulls his undershirt on "how about I try my hand at cooking" he gets up "it can't be so hard"

Albus looks at him "no, you'll blow up the kitchen, either from trying to cook or getting mad that you aren't doing it right" he gets up "you've never stepped foot in a kitchen to make something in your life"

the other teen turns back to him "I can make sour cherry soup pretty well." He finishes getting dressed "cherries are in season". Gellert goes over to him and kisses his head "and I only said that to get you out of bed, Phönix." He smirks at Albus' half hearted glare.

When they went down there was only one plate on the table with food and Aberforth cleaning up "Aberforth you do know we have a guest right?" Albus picks up the plate and hands it to Gellert, who politely gave it back to him

"I'm aware, and he lives not far down the road, he can eat his own food" Aberforth leaves the kitchen after he's done.

Albus sighs and takes out some food from the icebox "sorry he's been...annoying lately" he fixes a bowl of oatmeal and fruit, the only thing he could make quickly other than toast "I hope this is enough?"

Gellert takes the bowl "of course it is, I was never one for big feasts of food." He eats it "and by annoying you mean, if he could erase blood ties between you he would." Gellert looks at the surprised look on Albus' face.

Albus looks down quickly at his food "I'm trying to keep the peace for everyone's sake..but he keeps pushing it knowing that it hurts. Bringing our parents into this...mum knew, and dad was put in Azkaban right before I started school so I don't know how he would react.."

Gellert hums "I don't remember my mother, and my father found out as he was running off after forcing me here, I locked the floo from hungry after he left so he couldn't come back." He shrugs and finishes. Sending the bowl to be washed. "Come, I have something to show you" he gets up.
