If we could turn back time

Part 4

Just a heads up, Tom's going to be a little creepy and possessive in this chapter. Nothing to worry about of course, because Harry will set him straight, eventually.

And we're also tumbling into the feels...And there is a little 'excitement' in this chapter. If you know what I mean 😏.
Well. Have fun!

''You, just you,''

When Tom whispered those words, Harry's insides twisted. And Death crowed in his head.

''FINALLY!'' The deity yelled in his head.

''Shut up! I'm not that oblivious.'' Harry grumbled back at Death.

''You clearly were, Master,''

''Shut up.''

Harry felt stupid. Why hadn't he calculated this in his plans? And what did he want? Sure, Tom was gorgeous, smart, charming, but also manipulative, a future Dark Lord. The one that killed his parents when he was just one year old. The one that tried to kill him on numerous occasions. But he wasn't that man yet. And maybe, maybe Harry could change the future even more.

Dumbledore told him that Tom never knew how to love, and Harry was inclined to agree, but was it because Tom never wanted it? Or because everyone else was too afraid to even try?

Tom seemed to crave attention, he demanded the room as soon as he walked in, but Harry could see through his facade. Tom wanted to be needed. Tom wanted to be wanted. And maybe Harry was the one that could give him that.

Harry reached out his hand and cradled Tom's cheek, his anger from earlier completely forgotten when Tom leaned into the touch. Tom closed his eyes and seemed to relax in the touch.

''Do you want to be mine too, or do you only want me to belong to you,'' Harry murmured. Needing to know if Tom really didn't just want Harry as a prize. Tom's eyes snapped open again at the question, and his gaze was heated. Harry couldn't help but swallow at the raw emotions that were in Tom's eyes.

''I'm just as much yours as you are mine.''

Harry didn't know that those were the words he had been waiting for. But as soon as Tom said it, Harry leaned in.

He softly placed his lips against Tom's, closing his eyes when he leaned in. The kiss only lasted a couple of moments, but Harry felt breathless when he pulled away. His face had heated up. Did he really just kiss a guy? Well, it wasn't unpleasant.

When he opened his eyes to look at Tom, it was clear that Tom wasn't ready to let go just yet.

Tom placed his hands on either side of Harry's neck before pulling him in again. The kiss was far from gentle, but Harry couldn't help but groan at the battle that was fought between their lips. Tom hummed in response, he controlled the kiss, but Harry was not going to give in easily. He bit Tom's lip, and Tom gasped. Harry took immediate advantage and licked into Tom's mouth. Tom moaned, and Harry reveled in the sound.

Harry hadn't pulled back his magic after his outburst earlier, but now he could feel the caress that was Tom's magic against his own. It was as if their magic danced together while their masters were feeling everything in much higher intensity.

Harry pulled back for a moment to breathe and rested his forehead against Tom's.

''Is this what you wanted?'' He asks in a hoarse voice he didn't immediately recognize. This was so much better than the wet kiss he had shared with Cho in his fifth year.
