A Chance at Happiness

50. Boundaries

Severus and Nathan agreed on making both research about the pureblood tradition.

Apart from Draco, they found many books referring to the odd rituals.

The main problem was maintaining a healthy relationship with the parent and also seeking for a relationship with the opposite gender for companionship and for creating a family.

- So the main issue is to avoid having a homosexual relationship with your parent? Nathan asked.

- Exactly, Severus answered blushing and then he continued: I can't continue to any action with you unless we sort this out.

- I am not in love with you, though.

- I hope not, he dared to joke.

- We need to set boundaries, don't we ?

- Indeed. First of all, I need you to know that I don't have any urge to make anything with you. Actually, I feel repulsed, I think of it as child molestation.

- That I understand. And honestly, we don't have to do anything, if you do not wish.

- I don't want you go around looking for a father's affection from other people though. This is how your Headmaster took advantage of you, you know.

It was Nathan's time to blush.

- I don't like other people though. I liked it with the Headmaster because he took your form, he admitted.

- I see... Severus was very sceptical.

- What is it, Father ? Nathan was concerned.

- I would really prefer to continue with our research until you are an adult. And I would like it even better if you had physical encounter with someone else first, I mean a woman.

- I respect that. But I don't have a girlfriend. And don't forget that Bella will come home soon.

- She won't.

- What ?

- She will stay with Draco and Astoria for one more week. I forgot to tell you.

Nathan only nodded but he didn't like it. Bella was actually making excuses to avoid coming back.

- Anyway, Nathan, I could arrange a date with a girl, if you wish.

- You mean a call girl ?

- Well, yes.

- Ok. When ?

- I will inform you as soon as I have a response.

- Will you be there with me ?

- No, son, this is a private thing. What has got into you ? You didn't even like the idea of being shirtless in front of me... he half joked.

- I want you to guide me. I am a virgin, you know. I mean with a woman. I have never done anything and I don't even know how she really looks like , you know, down there.

Severus groaned and agreed. Well it would look more like an anatomy lesson than a sex date...

He managed to find a girl for the very same night.

He felt awkward at first, but then he tried to make it more rational, like a private lesson.

His son was really good, according to his opinion. He was very receptive and very considerate towards the girl too.

Soon the date was over and Nathan turned to his father for an extra affection.

Severus only shook his head.
