Ripples [Jin]

[song hanuel]

Hanuel was glad for the end of winter. He loved the colder season, he really did, but after nearly freezing playing quidditch for those few months he was satisfied with it for now, and he was glad for the mild Scottish spring some would still call this weather cool, even chilly, but Hanuel was just glad to see the sun again. The gentle breeze drifting off the lake, the warm sun beating down on him. Hanuel was good to just enjoy the outside world that he had avoided whenever he wasn't flying. Right now, that was appealing to him more than anything else, so he had found himself a good skipping rock and stood at the shore of the lake, lazily tossing it, and retrieving it with magic, to skip it again.

As he did, he reflected on the year that had been. Classes, games, the evolution of his relationship with Jin.  Honestly Hanuel couldn't ask for a much better year than the school term that would come to an end with the beginning of summer. Of course there had been terrible things happening too, but Hanuel was very distant, emotionally from the events at Saint Mungo's, and from the firings at the ministry. The young man sighed as he pushed such thoughts out of his head and his mine wandered right back to Jin. His boyfriend, were they boyfriends? Hanuel had certainly thought so but he supposed they'd never really used the words. Still Jin had said that Hanuel was his, and so he had been ever since.  Lost in his contemplation, watching the water ripple out from where his rock had disturbed it, Hanuel failed to notice the presence of the very young man he was so wrapped up thinking about.

"Jin..." He muttered to himself, not a greeting. He was thinking aloud, a slightly goofy smile on his face as he decided that yes. They were a couple, and that it was a good thing. The best in fact.

It was a beautiful, sunny day outside, but the young Slytherin had yet to go out in it. He lay there in the darkness of his dorm with the curtains drawn around his bed. He hadn't slept well the night before, nightmares having plagued him until the wee hours of the morning when he'd finally just given up on sleep and laid there in the darkness. He'd heard his dorm mates wake and get up then dress and leave, but he'd stayed right where he was, the nightmares still playing through his waking mind. Hanuel being taken from him and visions of a raging war had plagued him through the night.

Wanting to shake these horrid feelings, Jin let his mind wander to the one thing - well. . .the one person - that was able to calm and soothe him. "Hanuel. . . ." he whispered softly in the darkness, letting the mere sound of his name silence the demons for the time being. Jin sat up, sighing as he pulled back the heavy, emerald green, velvet curtain and sat there on the side of his bed. He got up and began to dress, needing to find Hanuel and just let the other hold him. He pulled on a pair of charcoal gray trousers and stepped into his boots, having slept in his socks. Looking through his trunk, he pulled out a cashmere turtleneck in a dusky, rose-colored hue and pulled it on. He then left the confines of the dorm and exited through the common room.

After asking around in the castle, Jin headed out across the grounds to the lake, instantly spying his love. He liked calling him that. . . .his love; it had the perfect ring to it. Approaching from behind, he heard Hanuel say his name, and he couldn't help but smile though it was a tired one. Coming up behind him, Jin slipped his arms around the other and nuzzled along his hairline at the back of his neck. He didn't say anything, just stood there and held him, wanting nothing more than him in this moment.

Hanuel was almmost in disbelief as he felt the other man's arms wrap around him from behind, eyes closing as he did. He almost didn't believe it. His smile didn't shift but his hair turned a deep, amorous pink as the other held him close. He knew that touch. Soon he leaned back into it, closing his eyes and enjoying the sensation of his love holding him close, He didn't need to say a word just now, he didn't know what he even would say as he simply enjoyed their closeness, the air coming off the lake ruffling his now-pink hair.

As he felt the other nuzzling against him he slowly pulled away, turning to face the other, taking his hands, a light grin adorning his lips as he stared into the eyes of the handsome young man who he had been falling for since that fateful day up in the quidditch stands. without a word he moved in, and kissed Jin, softly at first though as his hands came to grip the other's turtleneck the kiss intensified. There was something that just felt so right about kissing Jin to Hanuel. Their relationship wasn't always easy, when Slytherin and Gryffindor had games against one-another it became all aggression, as Hanuel's competitive side took over, but that wasn't happening right now. now it was just them.

"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." Hanuel said playfully to the other, finally catching his breath after thos long, loving kisses
