Title: A Civil Union, chapter 16


Roberts POV

I can do this. I am standing in front of the mirror. One more time, checking my suit, running my hands up and down to be sure there are no folds or wrinkles. This suit is a step up from my usual. The fabric is expensive, soft, it hangs just right. The quality is extraordinary. I know I look good. Even so, I can't stop checking. Today is too important to miss anything.

Lucius is nearby. Benjamin is checking Lucius' bow tie. He looks impeccable, and Benjamin, he is as well. All of us in formal black. Lucius refused to wear a cummerbund. Just pure white silk shirts under the jackets. No fancy colors. No ruffles. We each have two buds on our lapels,one white rose, and one deep red bud. That is it. Low key. Like Lucius, elegant.

Potter is off with his friends. He joked they wanted to put him into a dress. At least I think it was a joke. He wouldn't let any of us go with him to the fittings. That red headed friend of his went. Ron, I think his name was. And we have no idea what he will be in when he shows up. It doesn't matter, he will be beautiful no matter what he wears.

We've talked about how to do this. We wanted it to be more private, like in the Judge's chambers kind of private. By we I mean Lucius, Benjamin and I. But Potter, Harry wouldn't hear of it. He wants everyone to know. He wants to make a huge splash. The CoWW people agree with him, so it's going to be big. An extravaganza. Lucius is footing the bill. He can afford it after all. Though the temptation was to make CoWW take it out of their damn budget. Keep them out of trouble bankrupting them.

The problem is going to be, how will every one react when Benjamin and I have to stand with the lucky couple. One of us has to be touching Lucius at all times in a gathering of this size. Someone might accidentally touch him, just like happened to Harry at the office.

That scared us all. All but Harry. He's been trying to tell us it wasn't so bad. Assuring us he is fine. Benjamin confessed he didn't know who to help first. He did chose Lucius, but seeing Potter blasted down to the floor.... Benjamin nearly panicked. That came close to a real disaster. We can't let it happen again.

Harry has been living in the house since that day. He has his own room. We have more than enough of them. And now that he is living in the house, we can get some good food into him, maybe he'll look a little less like a waif. More like the strong young man he is. He is beautiful, you know.

We have decided, among all of us, that both Benjamin and I will be at the altar. I will hold Lucius' hand, and Benjamin will hold Harry's. That way it won't look as strange as if only one of us is there. Holding onto Lucius. We hope it will look like we are supporting the two of them. Not like the four of us are getting married.

I must admit in my secret heart that is what this feels like. I've been married before. And this feels like I am getting married again. Me. Not just Lucius and Harry. No it definitely feels like the four of us are altar bound. Which we are. But not like that. The butterflies in my stomach are dancing wildly.

I don't think....well...I do, sort of...feel like I'm getting married. But...

I mean Harry and Lucius wouldn't want that, would they?

I wouldn't mind being married to either of them. Both. Yes. Both.

But, sex, well. I am still heterosexual as far as I can tell. Though those sessions with Ms. Destry, they tried my convictions, sorely. I had not expected to sport a boner while Lucius was rubbing my hand. It was only my hand, for Merlin's sake. It was just hearing Miriam tell him to lick my hand, suck my fingers. I think it's been too long since I had sex with any one. Hard to get close enough to a woman with the job I have right now. One that shows no sign of going away. I mean who is there to replace me? And...I don't want to be replaced. I want to stay.

We had talked about the wedding night. Oh, ghod. I don't know how that is going to work out. I have to be the one there with them.

Lucius asked me to be.

I can do this. I just need to talk myself into believing it.
