Careful, Darling

Chapter 7

Your pov

The infirmary at night was not a fun place to be. The giant walls of windows that out looked the area around Hogwarts only emphasized how stuck in this room you were.
     "So, we're you really fighting poachers?" The guy in the bed across from me asked as he sat up and relaxed in his bed. The nurse really had left us completely alone in Here, and Sebastian and Ominis had made a good case. Why this was allowed but them staying wasn't, completely boggled my mind.
     "Yes, unfortunately" I groaned as I sat up as well, although with more struggle than he did. The efforts the nurse made on my side were already helping me recover, but it still aches.
     "That is really brave of you," he paused, before rubbing his leg to ease his own pain. "My names Everett"
      "I have heard of you, I think we had some classes together a couple times" I told him, before looking closer at him. He had on ravenclaw robes and I remembered him, "you're mr. Popular"
      "Well, if that's what you want to call me" evverett laughed and fixed his glasses, "although I'm not nearly as popular as your two friends." The way he said friends made me stiffen up, because he put emphasize on it than I would expect. "Oh, don't worry. I won't be telling anyone about Sebastian making a scene, or Ominis holding you like he was afraid you'd cease to exist." He gave me a grin, but something about it told me he was telling the truth. I don't know why neither of them had thought to consider his presence in the infirmary when they behaved like that.
     "It's- well, it's not what it looks like. I know that instantly makes it sound like it is what it looks like." I groaned and placed my head in my hands, "ah, what do you think it looks like?"
      "Looks like you have two of the most notorious men in our year fawning over you," he said, before struggling to his feat and stumbling his way over to the bed next to mine. I looked at him questioningly as he sat down with a huff. "Not that I'm one to judge, but they both didn't seem to react to the other one being here. Do they know you're interested in them both?"
       "It's complicated" I replied as I looked over at him as he got comfortable in the bed he had chosen. "I would explain, but I'm not sure how to begin. I can promise that I'm not leading either of them on however."
      "Can I take a guess then, if it's so complicated." He took his glasses off and sat them beside him, before closing his eyes. "I think you're in love with them both, and they both love you back. If you're not leading either of them on and they both know about all parties involved feeling as they do, then my guess would have to be.... That you're all together."
      "I-, why would you think that?"
      "Besides all the things I just listed? It's mainly because I know they are best friends, and share everything. I can imagine it's more difficult sharing a girl, but based on how the both questioned that nurse about why both of them couldn't stay, I'd say they aren't struggling at all." He opened his eyes and looked at me, a smirk on his face, "I got it right didn't I?"
      I turned my face down to look at my lap, before nodding my head. "Just don't tell anyone else please. Most people aren't going to just accept what we are doing. But you're right, I love them both and they love me. And to top it all off, they care about each other fiercely. This way no one gets hurt or has to let someone go"
      "I think it's romantic honestly. I've seen girls break year long friendships over a guy, just to move on from him months later. I've had classmates duel for a girl's attention. Imagine how simple all of those fights would be if everyone just sat down and realized sharing isn't that hard." Evverett replied, before looking out the window. "If I were you, I would think about after Hogwarts. People aren't in your business as much once you're out of school. Just keep that in mind, and remember at least one of person supports you."
      "Thank you Evverett, I'm starting to see why so many people like you." I laughed, before looking outside with him. "And just to be clear, that wasn't meant in a romantic way."
      "I understand, besides, I couldn't get along with Sebastian long enough for it even to be considered."

     After our conversation me and Svverett had both fallen asleep, only to be woken up a few hours later by the nurse. She quickly shooed us out after checking us over, but mentioned how classes couldn't wait because we were being silly.
      "I love the idea that she thinks fighting poachers is silly" Evverett said as he walked out the door with me, not limping at all now.
      "I think that was aimed at you, considering" I motioned to his foot and he just waved me off.
      "It's very easy to land incorrectly" he retorted, before looking past me and smirking. He pointed behind me, and I turned to see Sebastian and Ominis both waiting on me. Ominis was sitting down on one of the benches, and Sebastian had just stopped in his tracks, mid pacing. "Better get going then, don't want to upset your boyfriends" Evverett whispered to me, before leaving. I walked over to the others and pulled up my shirt slightly to show them the almost completely healed wound.
      "It'll be a nasty scar, but at least I'm able to go to classes today." I jokingly said, before noticing Sebastian glaring down the hallway.
       "What was that all about?" He asked as he looked at me. I gave him a smile and rolled my eyes.
      "Hard not to bond with someone your stuck in a room with all night," I said to tease him. Ominis stood up and placed a hand on Sebastian's shoulder. "She's joking Sebastian."
      "What did happen between you two then" Sebastian groaned as I walked down the hallway, followed by them.
       "Well, he knows everything, and gave me some good advice."
      "Knows everything?" Ominis asked as he moved to walk beside me. "About what?"
       I quickly looked around the hall, making sure we were alone. Once I was satisfied I leaned up and kissed Ominis on the cheek. "He knows everything because you two can't contain yourselves."

      "Are you absolutely sure you're alright?" Sebastian asked me as we walked through the beginning part of the forbidden forest. After classes had ended he had decided he wanted to drag me out here to experience nature after I mentioned feeling stuck in the infirmary all night.
      "I am, I promise Seb." I said as I took his hand in mine. He looked down and smiled, before dragging me along the path. "Now will you please explain why we have to go all the way out into the woods like this?"
       "I don't want to have to pretend to be just your friend any longer than I have to, so if we go out here we can actually enjoy each other's company." He said as he took a turn and lead us down to a clearing. The area was beautiful, with jumping mushrooms and moon rocks surrounding it. He pulled me further along into it and turned to look at me.
      "Is this where we've been heading?" I asked as he shrugged off his robe. Before glancing behind him. He then lifted his shirt off of his body. "Sebastian!" I gasped as he started to remove his belt. I reached out and grabbed his hands and stopped him mid unbuttoning.
      "Swimming love, I brought us out here to go swimming." He said with a straight face, pointing over to the stream next to the clearing. He looked back at me and smirked, "but if your mind stays in the gutters like that we may have to change our activities."
"Oh shut it" I groaned and started to unbutton my shirt. I slipped it off and laid it on top of Sebastian's. "Please tell me you are at least leaving something on. I don't wanna be caught naked out here."
"There's no one who is gonna come out here" he assured me, before unbuckling his belt and pulling it off. He worked on his pants and soon stepped out of them. "But yes I'll leave my boxers on"
"Good, I don't want rumors spreading." I sighed as I took my skirt off and dropped it to the ground. I looked at the stream nervously, this could definitely get us expelled.
"Says the one telling our secrets." He said with a smirk, "I think we all get one slip up now." He gently took my hand and pulled me towards the stream. He went in first and pulled me in after him. I crashed into him and shivered from the cold water. I felt his arms wrap around me as he pulled me up against him. "I will admit, I am enjoying this view."
"Oh quiet." I sigh and lay my head against his chest. I look him over and run my hands along his arms, which have goosebumps now. "Someone is cold."
"Not exactly," he whispered as his hands trailed up my back, and then back down to rest on my hips. "Just very nervous."
"Why are you nervous, this was your idea." I said as I pulled back and looked up at him. His eyes met mine and he gave me a sheepish grin.
"I may have brought us out here for illicit activities." He admitted, one of his hands moving to cup my ass. He pulled me against him again and lowered his head down until he had his lips brushing against my neck. "I've come to realize, we've yet to have any alone time." I felt him press his lips against my neck, and again as he moved closer to my ear. "Ominis filled me in on your undercroft secrets. And despite my best efforts I feel jealous."
"So you snuck me off to the woods to have me all to yourself?" I asked, a sigh coming out of my lips as I felt him press his lips against my collar bone. I moved my hands upward into his hair and tangled my fingers through it. "Couldn't have said this before we got into the water?"
"Admittedly I didn't think this through," he said before pulling me back out and onto the wood line. He fixed his robe to be spread out and sat down, before pulling me gently into his lap. I moved to have my legs on either side of his, and looked him over. His auburn hair shined in the light sunlight that peaked out from the trees, and I could now see the freckles he had covering his body.
I ran my hand up his chest and lingered over where his heart was, feeling his pulse quicken. "Always with the romantic confessions happening in the woods." I teased him, before leaning in to kiss his lips. I felt him hold himself back from being too forceful, but I could sense the hunger in his motions. I broke away and started to leave a trail of kisses down his neck, and then onto his chest. He leaned back to allow me a better angle, his elbows propping him up. Our little clothing let me know how my actions were affecting him, and I started to notice his chest and neck flushing, before soon he was blushing all over. His breath picked up as I moved back up to his neck and started to leave marks.
"I heard Ominis wasn't very gentle for your first time." He groaned, one of his hands coming to hold my waist. He tried desperately not to grip me too tight, "so I'm trying to restrain myself. One of us should at least teach you in a calm way."
"I don't know, I liked being used by him. I could reasonably assume I'd like to be used by you." My words sent a shiver through him, and his grip tightened on me. I felt him push hims hips up against me, and despite the cold water he seemed to be greatly enjoying this.
"I believe you'll find I try to take more care not to break my toys" he said as he quickly flipped us, making him hover over me. "But perhaps another time me and him can break you together."
