Cepheus was kind of nervous. James was away at practice and he'd decided it was time to become friends with Xavier again. Xavier had always been one of his best friends and he did love him. He still loved him, even through all the shit they'd gone through. There was no getting over the friendship love that he felt for the other boy.

So, he'd texted him the address of his new flat and asked him to come over. He'd just finished opening the containers of Thai food that he and Xavier loved so much and stuck a chopstick in the box that was for Xavier, when he heard a knock on the door. Taking a deep breath, he walked over and answered it, smiling at Xavier on the other side. "I- Hey."

James looked down at Cepheus leaning against him. He wanted to kiss the other boy, but he was still upset about what he'd realized. How many times had Cepheus made it clear that they were not together? Cepheus didn't want him. Not for anything more than sex. James had to respect that.

"Yeah," he said. "You know I love horror movies. I get them way more than I get your soaps." He reached up and ruffled Cepheus's hair. "I can eat my cold Thai food on the couch."

Cepheus nodded and took James's hand into his own, leading him over to the couch. He pulled him down onto it with him and smiled, pressing close against his side. Being close to James was the only thing that felt right these days.

He turned on the film with the remote, then kissed James's neck softly, running a hand beneath his shirt and resting it there. He closed his eyes and breathed in James deep, wanting to admit everything he was feeling, but not having the courage to do so. "You smell like booze and colo-" He paused. "Not your cologne."

James had pushed the uncomfortable sexual encounter out of his mind until Cepheus's nose picked it up. He swallowed a mouthful of noodles, shrugging. "I told you I went to a bar. You were busy with Xavier. I wanted to give you two alone time."

He stabbed at the noodles with his fork, keeping his eyes on the television. There was no reason to feel guilt. They weren't together, even if James had just figured out that he wanted them to be. Cepheus didn't want him like that. For keeps. "I hooked up with some kid. It wasn't very good."

"Oh." Cepheus replied coldly as he looked up at James. It felt like he'd been punched in the gut and it wasn't a good feeling at all. He looked down at his betraying stomach, then pulled back from James, putting a little distance between their bodies.

Sure, he'd slept with his ex boyfriend, whom he still had feelings for. But, James had slept with someone random. Someone he didn't know or care about. It felt worse than what he'd done.

James didn't like the distance at all, but part of him felt like he deserved it. Even if there was no reason for him to deserve it. Everything was fucked up now.

He ate some more noodled, watching the film. "Yeah," he said. "It was horrible. I don't want to do that kind of thing anymore. Go out and hook up." James glanced at Cepheus to gauge his reaction. "I want to be with someone for real. Make a real connection with someone, you know?"

Cepheus glanced at James, feeling somewhat relieved when he said he didn't want to go out and hook up. He smiled at him and nodded, running a hand through his curls.

"Yeah. I get that." He nodded. "I was in a relationship for two years. You know? You kind of get used to it. Or whatever. Someone always there. Knowing what they like in bed. Feeling comfortable in shitty clothes around them. Getting sick and being cared for."

"Yeah," James said, doing his best not to point out that Cepheus wore his shitty clothes around the house and that James had looked after him when he was sick. They definitely didn't have any problems pleasing each other in bed.

"I had a boyfriend once, for a while. It was when I was getting well known as a player, before the press knew I was gay. He didn't like being in the papers all the time. Didn't want them to report on James Potter and his boyfriend, you know? It was too much for him, so we split up, but it was nice while it lasted." James shrugged. "Now whenever I take someone out for dinner it seems like they like me being famous a little too much."

"I don't think you're famous." Cepheus told him with a shrug. "Like... not real famous. You do commercials and stuff, but the only people who really know who you are are people who like football. You're no household name or anything."

Cepheus grinned at him for a moment, then took the container from him, putting it on the table. He leaned in and kissed James's cheek. "You can be my celebrity. I'll build up your ego."

"Only after you took it down." James pulled Cepheus into his lap, tickling him and laughing. "Football fans in London know who I am because I play on their team and I'm in their papers being gay and scandalous."

He kept tickling Cepheus, intent on being merciless. "And gay football fans everywhere know who I am because I'm gay and pretty and I take my shirt off for magazines. So there, Malfoy. Surrender."

	Cepheus squirmed in James's grip, trying to move away from his fingers. He laughed wildly and fell back on the couch, kicking at James to try and get away from his tickling fingers. "I will never surrender!" Cepheus shouted at him, shaking his head. "Not from a Scandal-Queer like you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James laughed, keeping his assault on Cepheus, shifting so he could use his legs to keep Cepheus from kicking him too much. "What the fuck is a Scandal-Queer?" he asked. "You're a Gossip Queen. How's that?" He leaned down, blowing a raspberry on Cepheus's stomach. "Scandal Queen my arse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cepheus tried to flip over when James started blowing at his stomach, but he couldn't manage it. James was far more fit than he was. He wiggled beneath James and whined. "It means you're a big homo who scandalises his fans." He told him, then reached down and flicked his nose. "No more tickling. I can't breathe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James laughed, letting up on Cepheus and wrapping his arms around the other boy instead. "Okay, I'll stop. Even if I don't want to." He rolled over, pulling Cepheus onto his chest and kissing his forehead. "I like you wiggling and breathless under me. You look good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cepheus looked down at James for a moment, then leaned in and kissed him deeply. He couldn't help himself. There was just something that Cepheus was so drawn to in the other man. He just wanted to keep him close. Even if James was thinking about getting a boyfriend, which drove Cepheus absolutely mad. For now, he wasn't to kiss him and to be held by him.

James closed his eyes, kissing Cepheus back, his hands sliding up to mess in Cepheus's hair. He loved being with him. Touching him. Kissing him and holding him. He didn't like the idea of sharing and every part of James was pointing out that he needed to re-stake his claim on Cepheus now that Xavier had interfered with it.

He tightened his hold on Cepheus, keeping the kiss nice and slow. He'd show Cepheus.

Cepheus melted a bit into the kiss against James's chest. The way he kissed him, so forceful, yet so soft, was completely perfect. Nothing got him off more and it killed him to no end.

"I don't like that you slept with him." He murmured against James' lips, then kissed him again, not pulling back. The face that James tasted like alcohol and smelled like another boy. He wanted to change that.

	"I don't like that you slept with him either," James said, sliding a hand under Cepheus's shirt. He pulled it up, only breaking the kiss long enough to get it off. "You're too good for that." James bit at Cepheus's bottom lip gently, then pressed another kiss to his lips. "You're special." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cepheus made a soft noise against James's lips, sliding his shirt off as well. He kissed at his chest, then up his neck and jaw to his mouth. Somehow, they always ended up right back in the same place. On the couch snogging.

How did it always come to this?

His hand slipped up and played with a bit of James's hair, resting at his neck. "How do we always end up here?" He asked. "Shagging on the couch?"

	"I blame you," James said, giving Cepheus a fond smile. He kissed the other boy's forehead, running his fingers through Cepheus's hair. "And the fact that I like shagging you on the couch." He kissed him on the mouth again. "I just know that I don't want to stop doing it. I like it too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)
