Life In Death

Chapter Eleven

AN: Ok this Chapter might tick a lot of you off but what the hell I wrote what I felt!

Last Time:

Slipping from the rooms Harry and the others made it to the room just as the a small head began to break the shell rushing forward Harry scooped up the egg watching as his new familiar broke the shell into this world.

This Time:

Slowly the egg began to rock back and forth more violently as cracks and shell pieces fell to the girth of the fireplace.

Harry reached forward with his hands and caught the egg just as it fell out of the jar of sands he had kept it in. Smiling he felt the small creature inside of it slowly Harry began to whisper encouragements as a head tooth began to puncture through the inner egg membrane.

A small milky white head broke through large pink eyes whirling with emotion as it looked up at Harry and opened its mouth to let out a pathetic whine of hunger, the egg splitting into depositing the rest of the milky white body of the snake.

Everyone's eyes were trained on the pitiful little thing spread in Harry's hands its cries for food where loud and piercing.

Quatre feeling the little serpents need quickly called for a servant to bring sliced up pieces of last night's chicken. The meat was soon brought in and Harry grabbed for a chunk of meat and began to literally stuff the little snakes face. Everyone watched the wizard feed the pitiful thing until literally the poor snake was bulging in certain place clearly making out outlines of individual pieces of meat. The pale milky white hatchling then slithered up to the wizard's shoulder wrapping tightly around the teens neck barring its head into the thick black hair.

Draco looked at Harry with wide silver eyes, "Harry is that a..."

Harry shushed him whispering, "Yes Draco it is."

Heero spoke up, "You never did explain completely."

The blonde wizard spoke up quickly, "it's a large serpent with wings. They can vary in size and abilities. And before you ask a winged cobra doesn't grow its wings until the first six months have passed sometimes it can take up to a year. The wings grow after the first shedding."

Harry nodded slowly stroking the smooth scales of his new companion before humming in amazement, "I can hear her… In my mind; well not hear her, but I can feel her. What's she is thinking it's like a whirl of colours in my head."

Draco laughed lightly, "It's the animal familiar bond you formed with her when she hatched. Does she have a name Harry?"

The younger wizard nodded eyes wide, "Suspiria, she said her name is Suspiria but she says she prefers Ria."

Duo snorted suddenly, "Nice one."

Harry nodded and smiled brightly as the small white head nuzzled deeper into his hair, "She says it will suit her in time and now she is asleep again. Silly thing I can tell she is going to be a lazy one."

Everyone laughed at that and Draco sighed lightly, "Harry I have to be going soon. The twins are expecting me at the shop."

Harry nodded and the two-shook hands before Trowa began to lead him out along with Wufei and Heero, leaving Harry to sit there with Quatre and Duo beside him.

Curling up on the couch, Harry was not surprised when the two joined him as he stroked the little hatchling's scales gently. Leaning back against Quatre the younger brunette smiled brightly looking back and forth between the blue and amethyst eyes that looked at him. Both held the same sparkling emotion of caring and love and blushing brightly he hummed happily. Harry knew he was falling for the two of them. Quatre might return his feeling but Duo loved his brother.

Sighing he basked in the contentment and love not noticing when Quatre's eyes widened with realization as he gazed down at the wizard before turning to look at his fellow Gundam pilot. The blonde lifted a hand to his heart and sadness leaked into his eyes. Clearing his throat, he excused himself and bolted out of the room leaving the two brunettes to stare after him in confusion.

Duo looked down at Harry giving an apologetic look before bolting after the small blonde leaving the young wizard to wonder what the hell was going on.

-With Duo-

Rounding the corner the Deathscythe pilot caught the blonde shoulder pulling him around staring down into the tear-filled eyes. Duo brought the blonde close to his chest hugging the taller male to him, "Quat what's wrong?"

The blonde broke down clinging to the brunette tightly not saying a word, the pain and loneliness filling his heart. He felt as the brunette stroked his blonde locks and his eyes widened as the feeling of love and comfort invaded his space heart. Looking up at the Amethyst eyes teen he murmured, "You love me…and you love Harry."

Duo's eyes widened and he blushed looking to the side, "Ya um… I was going to say something but I didn't think you or him would return it."

Quatre took a step back gripping his space heart, "Harry loves you in return, and I felt it back in the room when I felt your love for him as well. I though…"

Duo sighed, "You Q-Ball think too much. You should take a card from my deck and try to not think."

The blonde blushed and look to the ground, "So…"

The braided teen turned the blondes head to look at him, "Quatre, I love Harry but I love you too."

Quatre smiled, "and I love you as well…"

A loud crash made both jump and turn. Their stood Harry green eyes wide the teen looked back and forth between them and Quatre gasped at the feeling of Betrayal and Sadness that leaked into his space heart turning his eyes up to Harry just in time to see him turn and run.

"Harry Wait! It's not what you think!"

The two bolted after Harry chasing him throughout the mansion and out to the gardens. They stopped as they saw Harry halt in his steps. Slowly they began to approach as the teen turned to look at them turning quickly the two winced at the loud crack. Looking up Harry was nowhere to be seen.

Duo slapped his forehead, "the kid apparated just great. No telling where he apparated to!"

Quatre clutched his chest tightly, "I can't feel him either, and we need to go tell Heero."

The braided teen nodded and the two slipped inside their finger entwined both of their thought circled around the now missing teen.

-With Harry-

Apparating directly in front of the bar they used to get into the magical alley.

Ducking into the Dragon's Den, he murmured his name causing the glamour's to shift and fade away before he took a seat at one of the tables putting his forehead to the table sighing heavily. Slamming a fist down upon the table, he was not surprised when a hand touched his shoulder gently, looking up at the Fae who owned the small Inn.

Puck took the seat next to him placing a warm mug of tea before the distraught teen. Tucking a loose piece of hair behind Harry's ear he smiled gently, "What ails you My Lord?"

Harry shook his head and murmured, "I thought they knew how I felt. But I was wrong they preferred one another's company to mine."

Puck flicked his wings sighing, "Humans do not understand the hearts of us who are born to magic. Here drink your tea it will help soothe your nerves. Then we can take a stroll around the Alley. I am sure that will cheer you up! The Alphas and their pup have wanted to see you."

Harry nodded drinking the sweet Tea carefully blowing on the hot contents carefully while the Fae sat and attempted to coax Ria into taking a piece of meat from him once she awoke from her slumber.

Smiling the young wizard slowly relaxed the calming atmosphere of the Inn and the presence of the Fae was comforting to his frantic mind. It wasn't long before he was hissing at Ria to be nice and take the meat and smile as the Faes' wings seemed to rise up and flit whenever the snake took a piece of meat from Ria.

His heart seemed to jump every time the Fae looked up at him with bright purple eyes that seemed to glisten with pure magic and mystery. Leaning forward he pressed his lips against the Fae's watching out of the corner of his eye as the wings stilled suddenly before thrumming a deep red as Puck seemed to curl into the kiss.

Pulling away, he watched as Puck slowly opened his eyes his wings flicking open and shut the deep red slowly fading back to the pure rainbow colour that wings normally held. He watched as the man slowly stood and seemed to sway then staggers over to the counter.

The male turned to stare at the younger wizard the purple encasing his entire eye no pupil or white could be seen. Just a sheen of purple that seemed to glow, "You should not have done that young Lord. We Fae are sensitive to the pleasures of the mind, body, soul, and heart."

Harry stood as Ria slipped off his arm to curl up on the table. Closing the distance between him and the Fae laying a hand on the red heads chest, "Maybe for once, I need someone who knows just how sensitive I am as well."

-Alternate Scene-

Puck's eyes darkened to a deep black his wings growing an even darker red than before as he twirled the younger male around gently leading him into a side room the wizard had not seen before. With a flick of his wrist, Puck deposited the smaller man onto a bed of fine silk cloth and pillows that seemed to be piled together rather than on an actual bed.

Leaning back against the piles of silk Harry closed his eyes as the Fae's finger began to flick across his skin lightly, hesitantly. He could taste the hesitation the Fae still seemed to exude leaning up he caught the thin lips in a second kiss humming, as the fae's hesitation seemed to melt away as he returned the kiss.

Harry gasped as sharp teeth dug into his lower lip and a tongue invaded his mouth. He moaned, as Puck's tongue seemed to dance against his own the sweet taste of apples seemed unique to the red headed Fae. He felt, as the flickering fingers seemed to simply pluck the buttons from his shirt spreading the harsh material to the sides letting heated flesh be cooled by the air of the small room. Hissing at the cold Harry pulls back looking up at Puck, whose eyes seemed to be nothing more than dark pools of ink bearing into his soul.

Puck sat up, "You have felt so much pain in your life. It clings to you in so many layers. Like a caterpillar's cocoon," nipping at the wizards lip his voice dark, "This night I will peal back those layers and banish them I will morph you into the sweet butterfly you hide."

Sharp teeth caressed along the wizards jaw and neck, "First though we must relax you my Lord," carefully he flipped the wizard over straddling his back so lightly Harry barely felt the Fae's weight upon him. Peeling off the young wizard's shirt, he simply banished the rest with a flick of his wing.

Shivering Harry tensed as he felt himself so exposed to Puck. He felt as smooth hands were laid against his skin then like heaven the hands slowly began to kneed into the skin and muscles around his neck and shoulders helping the tense muscles to relax to the feeling of liquid heat, and as if working out some great problem the hands went lower and lower along his back smoothing and relaxing the skin as it went along.

Even as the hands danced down his legs he was no longer alarmed allowing the fairy to do the job he obviously knew so well.

A soft whisper brought him from his relaxed dazed mind, "The first layer has been removed now my sweet Lord, we must deal with your shame. I see the scars upon your flesh and know of the shame behind them. I wish to show you that the only shame is how you do not embrace them for what they are… memories," before helping the Wizard into a sitting position.

Puck traced each and every scar slowly as if examining each and every one. Harry watched as the red head then proceeded to kiss each scar after tracing it his eyes never leaving Harry's. And as the wizard watched, he noticed how this pure and untainted being seemed to not only accept his scars but also embrace them as a whole. Never had the wizard met anyone who would do such a thing. Everyone always shied away from them like a plague. It was so freeing to know something else could happen as well.

Puck leaned forward kissing the cursed mark upon his forehead before staring deep into his eyes, "Your shame is no longer wrapping you so. Next is your Fear. You fear to lose those you love. You fear to lose yourself. Let me confront this with simple words. Everyone has their time and when that time comes they no longer fear it. Everyone must embrace death even I will one day. That includes you as well."

Harry smiled and nodded leaning forward to lay his head against Puck's shoulder feeling the long finger stroke through his hair oh so gently before he continued his words, "With Fear banished we have but one Layer left to rid you of and that is your loneliness," With a single kiss Harry was laid back against the silk and the Fae straddled him once more allowing the kiss to become heated before he carefully broke it murmuring his final words, "To which I will vanish with all I have to give to you this night"

Crying out in surprise as the Fae entered him without hesitation or pause and as if his body was not his own it accepted the intrusion completely and holey and he watched as the Fae's face etched with slight pain his wings shuttering in reflection. Harry felt as the Fae bit down gently along his collarbone and soon pleasure seemed to invade all his senses.

He could literally taste the apples that were Puck despite their lips not touching. He could smell and feel the heat in the room rising as a bubble of fire seemed to build up in his stomach. Silence was interrupted by calls of passion and moans of pure happiness and joy. It was as if all his pain and sorrow had slipped away. All he could feel was the pleasure and heat of the moment.

He watched as the Fae's eyes seemed to grow darker and darker as the pleasure built between them. And just as it became unbearable with a single thrust it all seemed to crash upon them in waves before calming down to a gentle thrum of pleasure and a dull ache.

Puck's eyes melted back into the deep purple as the Fae seemed to pull Harry close to him and Harry did not fight it as he snuggled close to him smiling as if nothing could affect him.

Puck's voice prevailed through the night air deep and clear, "and so I see the butterfly that is you."
