Title: Faster Than the Speed of Love
Author: Feygan
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Charlus/Draco slash
He didn't know what he was supposed to say to this stranger that was the other half of him. It was new and awkward and Draco was so beautiful Charlus found his mouth going dry.
"Do you mind that you will be living here?" He didn't add the 'With me,' though he wondered.
Draco lifted his glass and sipped his sparkling water--there was to be no wine until Healer Merryweather proclaimed him healthy enough to no longer require potions. "I'm grateful to be here. If you hadn't opened up your home ... I don't know where I would have gone."
"You certainly wouldn't have ended up on the street," Charlus said. He wouldn't have allowed it. Not for a single moment.
"Thank you."
What could have been an uncomfortable silence was broken by the arrival of house elves with the next course.
The food was delicious and offered them something to talk about. Mostly Charlus watched Draco and tried to ignore the way his heart expanded in his chest, trying to choke him with the wonder and joy.
"You will have to meet Hadrian," Charlus said. "He is in the nursery with his nanny."
"Har... Hadrian?" Draco asked.
"Yes, my son and heir. He is only a week old now." Charlus smiled fondly, thinking of the tiny pink baby.
"You have a new baby, yet you've divorced your wife for me?"
"There wasn't much choice. I offered to remain married, but Dorea has that Black pride and demanded all ties be severed." Charlus shook his head. "As the Potter heir, she won't be allowed contact with Hadrian to keep her from polluting his upbringing. It was her choice."
"I've ruined your life. I never should have come here," Draco said.
"No," Charlus stated firmly. "Before I met you I don't rightly think that I existed at all. You've ruined nothing and brought me happiness. As you are grateful to be in this house, I am doubly, triply grateful to have you in my life."
There was a delightful pink blush to Draco's cheeks and his pleasure was obvious.
