James and Cepheus were going on their first date. They had agreed that it was a date and James couldn't get the car from his father because his father disapproved of him, but he'd taken the bus to Cepheus's house and he was going to pick him up and take him on an adventure on the tube to the restaurant or something. Cepheus was used to driving around in cars anyway. He could use a break from it. And, okay, it was raining, but James had an umbrella.

He knocked on the door to the Malfoy's massive house, hoping Cepheus was waiting for him, and tried not to cringe when Cepheus's father answered the door. Didn't they have a butler or something? "Uh, hey," he said. "Is Cepheus ready to go?"

Draco didn't approve of Cepheus's life choices. He'd come around to Oliver. Oliver had been a decent enough bloke. A little old, but nice, and seemingly harmless enough. He had done his best to impress him and Charlie and there were enough similarities between him and Charlie that Draco was willing to let the age difference slide and let Cepheus be happy, for once. But now Cepheus wasn't with Oliver. He was with James Potter, who was all over Gossip Girl for being a playboy and Draco hated it. He raised an eyebrow at Potter's question, trying to do his best impression of his own father. "He's in his room," he said. "Come in. If you and Cepheus are going to date, we should be reintroduced."

"Should we?" James asked. He felt like he'd met Draco Malfoy more than enough times. "You know me," he said, attempting his best smile. "Cepheus and I have known each other since we were little kids."

James looked at Charlie, feeling very relieved. Charlie was the sane one. "We're going to dinner, and then I thought maybe Cepheus would want to go see this horror movie marathon thing that's going on. Since he's into that sort of thing."

"He has a curfew," Draco said firmly. "We don't want him coming home late. You've both got school tomorrow." He glanced at Charlie to try and convince himself to do something other than scowl at James, but gave up after a moment, turning back to the boy. "Don't you dare hurt him."

"I'm not going to hurt him," James promised, holding up his hands in surrender. "I love him."

Charlie softened at that. James loved him and he was part Weasley. That had to mean terrible things for Cepheus in the future, with James being an unstoppable Weasley-love force.

"Have you ever been in love with anyone else?" Charlie asked, already knowing the answer. But, he figured he'd ask anyway.

James didn't really see what that had to do with anything, but he shook his head. "No," he said. "There is no one else. Just Cepheus. Look he -- I know he's been hurt before. I know I hurt him before. But I'm going to fix all that. I'm going to make everything okay." He glanced at Draco. "At least give me a chance to try, Mr. Malfoy."

Draco stared at James for a long moment, then sighed. "Fine," he agreed. "But if you hurt him, I know people who can make you disappear."

"Draco!" Charlie touched his boyfriend's shoulder and shook his head. "Knock that off. You know what it's like to be loved by a Weasley. It's intense. And once you fall in love, it is very hard to fall out of it."

He kissed his husband's neck. "You of all people should understand that. I made you love me."

"What's going on?" Cepheus asked as he came down, ready to go. He looked at James and then at his parents.

Draco leaned against Charlie, sighing. "I know," he said. "You wouldn't leave my house." He looked at Cepheus when he came down the stairs, then smiled at his son. "We were telling James about your curfew," he said. "Home by midnight or you might not be allowed at the masquerade."

James wasn't sure if he should take the death threat seriously or not. Maybe not. Charlie seemed kind of in control of everything. He smiled and held out a hand to Cepheus. "There's a horror movie marathon on," he told him. "I thought we could check it out after dinner. Your dads were just making sure I have good intentions."

Cepheus didn't trust his parents. He looked them both over critically, then nodded and smiled at James. "Yeah. That sounds like a lot of fun." He glanced down at his watch, then at his father.

"Can I have until two?" He asked Draco, not bothering with Charlie. "If it's a good marathon, I don't want to miss any good films. I'll make it up somehow."

"You have school tomorrow," Draco pointed out, raising an eyebrow at him. But if he just said no Cepheus was liable to stay out until two anyway. "You can have until one."

"One is plenty of time." James looked at Cepheus and smiled. "If there's something else you want to see we can just download it and watch it together this weekend or something, yeah?"

Cepheus glanced at James. He knew he was trying to make a good impression and he figured he may as well try and help. "Yeah. Alright." He nodded, then kissed James's cheek, looking at his father.

"We'll be home by one." He promised, pushing James towards the door.

James waited for the door to close behind them, smiling at Cepheus as he raised his umbrella. "Better hurry before you turn into a pumpkin," he said. "I know how these things go."

He kissed Cepheus for a long moment, humming against his lips. "Just so you know, I plan on winning your father over."

"Good luck with that. He hates everything about you." Cepheus laughed, touching James's cheek and pulling back. "Let's get out of here."

He stepped under the umbrella, pressing close to James, kissing his neck. "No car tonight? Should we take one of mine?"

"If you'd rather take a car than the tube," James said, wrapping an arm around Cepheus and smiling down at him. "Or you could spend the whole walk snuggling against me, if you'd rather."

He leaned down and kissed Cepheus again. "My dad wouldn't loan me the car because I'm the bad son." James winked at Cepheus. "I hope you have a thing for bad boys."

"Hmmm. I just might." Cepheus laughed, pressing close to James. "I like snuggling against you. You're just so tempting." He kissed him softly and then glanced at the sidewalk.

"I'm glad you found a horror movie marathon. I'm looking forward to it." He snorted. "At least you didn't wear a suit."

James laughed at that, walking down the sidewalk with Cepheus, towards the tube station. "I'm saving my suit for the masquerade," he said. "I'm no Malfoy. I've only got the one. Plus, we're already going to be alone together in a dark theatre. At least there's some chance we might keep our hands to ourselves now."

He looked down at Cepheus and smiled. "Walking with you in the rain is nice," he said. "It's like we've got out shit together, finally."

"You just want to get me wet." Cepheus snorted, looking up at James. He liked this. Walking down the quiet street while it rained and light reflected off the ground. It was super romantic and he got to be with James. He got to stay close to him.

"I'm sure we'll fuck something up eventually." Cepheus laughed. "I don't want you jinxing this."

"Yeah, eventually we will," James agreed, shrugging. "Why worry about eventually when we're got right now and right now is so good?" He smiled down at Cepheus, leaning in and pressing their lips together. "Right now is amazing."

He stopped in the entrance of the tube station, closing his umbrella and shaking some of the water off. "Have you got an Oyster card? I don't know if you live the same way us peasants do."

Cepheus didn't even know what an Oyster card was. He kind of stared blankly at James for a moment, then shook his head. Now he felt kind of stupid and awkward, but that was okay.

"No. I don't." He admitted, shifting. "Is that bad? Does that mean I can't go?"

"No," James said, laughing. "It just means I'm going to sneak you in on my card. Don't worry about it. I kind of thought you wouldn't have one."

He leaned in and kissed Cepheus softly, then took his hand as he walked into the station, digging his card out of his pocket. "We'll have to take a cab back anyway." He swiped his card over then censor, stepping through the gates, and then passed it back to Cepheus. "Do the same thing and you're golden. We'll get you a card of your own."

Cepheus watched what James was doing, then imitated it and stepped through. He smiled at James for a moment, then leaned against him and kissed him deeply. He loved this. He loved James.

"We'll get me a card of my own." Cepheus nodded, thinking about it. "Do you think you'd want to go to the shops with me tomorrow?" He asked, looking James over. "I want to get you a new suit for the mask."

James laughed against Cepheus's lips, leading him over to the escalator so they could ride it down to the trains. "I'd love to go shopping with you tomorrow. After school?"

He kept his arm slung comfortably over Cepheus's shoulders. "I do like the idea of showing off for you in a few suits. It'll be fun."

Cepheus smiled at that. James wanted to go suit shopping with him. He may survive the ordeal without completely raping him after every suit. Maybe. He wasn't exactly sure.

"When you're not being a bitch, I really like being with you." Cepheus grinned up at him, then brushed his lips against his neck.

James laughed at that, leading Cepheus onto the platform. "I'm hardly ever a bitch," he said, shaking his head and purposefully ignoring the looks some people were giving them. "What kind of food do you want to get before the movie thing?"

He looked down at Cepheus. "I was thinking something quick and easy. You're into burgers, right?"

"Quick and easy. That's probably what you think of me." Cepheus teased, snorting. He looked at James for a moment, sliding his cold hands under his t-shirt to rest them against his warm stomach.

"I could go for a burger and a shake." Cepheus admitted. "Chocolate with strawberry sauce."
