Enchanted by freckles - Garreth Weasley & Sebastian Sallow x female MC

58th chapter

Natty didn't talk much. Mostly she observed the lively conversations in Garreth's family. She didn't seem to be around often among other wizarding families. I was worried that she would be bored, but I could clearly see on her face how interested she was in what everyone else was talking about.

Garreth's parents and Matilda debated for a while what the chances were that the parchment was fake, but they quickly came to the conclusion that it was real.

We ate together and continued talking in the living room. It was late in the evening when Natty fell sound asleep on the sofa. We brought her a soft blanket, and left a note for her on how to get to Garreth's room.

Together we let Natty sleep and went to Garreth's room.

"By Merlin's beard, Garreth! You must think before you speak." I scolded quietly. Garreth looked at me guiltily. "Thank you for saving the situation. Really," he said quietly. Sebastian sat down beside him and put a hand on his leg. "An apology is not enough. You need a punishment.", Sebastian said softly and smiled, "Tomorrow after the ministry, we'll bring Natty back to the castle and drive to our house. And then you won't be able to go on Monday, my dear. But there must be punishment."

Garreth smiled at him, put a hand on his cheek and gave him a deep kiss. Garreth was rather reserved towards Sebastian. Actually whenever there was an exchange of tenderness between the two, it was initiated by Sebastian. I was even more surprised when I saw that. Was Garreth slowly developing feelings for Sebastian as well? The sexual attraction was definitely there, but emotionally Garreth seemed to only open up to me so far.

We lay down in Garreth's bed. It was actually far too small for three to sleep in, but we just snuggled up close to each other. Sebastian was lying in the middle, holding Garreth and I in his arms while he caressed our cheeks.

"I'm really sorry, the three of us talk about everything like it's natural. And I wasn't thinking about it," Garreth said softly. "Just do it better next time," I said, pulling Garreth's head towards me.

Very early the next morning, Garreth wanted to go to our house to water the plants. We transformed and I rode him to Marlee's house while Sebastian and Natty prepared breakfast with Gwen.

When we got there, I had to ask Garreth how he was feeling.

"Garreth, do you actually reciprocate Sebastian's feelings?" I asked carefully. Garreth filled his watering can and headed down to the basement while he thought.

"I don't know. I appreciate his presence very much. I like him and I really feel connected to him. But it's not like I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about him. Sometimes, when he looks at me so demandingly, I definitely feel something inside me. But I have no idea whether these are romantic feelings or pure lust. It's all so confusing to me. I don't even go for men.

And yet I missed him more than I should have when I was in the hospital. His body just feels completely different than yours. Women's bodies are usually better padded in certain places, and I think that's absolutely fantastic, but there's something about a firm, muscular body like that. I do not know either.", he said and went upstairs again with the empty watering can. 

I waited for him in the basement. When he came down the stairs, he continued talking. "I'm attracted to him, but I don't know which part of me. Is it my heart, is it my penis? I have no idea."

"It's fine. You don't need to know. I was just curious after you kissed him so lovingly last night," I said, smiling. Garreth blushed a little. 

"Okay, now that you mention it, I'm getting nervous. So something is probably there, but I don't know how strong. It was pretty easy with you back then. I saw you, we talked the first time, and then my heart raced everytime when i interacted this you and i had wet dreams all the time," he said, laughing and rolling his eyes as he walked back up the stairs.

"But that's not the case with Sebastian. At least that with the racing heart." he said at the end looking quite embarrassed. "I slept quite a bit in the hospital and didn't have sex for the first time in months, okay?" he added with a laugh, placing the watering can under the sink again. I leaned my butt against the back of the sofa.
