A Scorpions Quest For Life and Death

Chapter 6- Harry and Seth

“I cannot believe you brought me to Egypt!” Harry shouted. “Harry” Seth began, people were staring, “Egypt! Of all the places you could’ve brought me! I told you to bring me to Grimmaud Place, but Nooo you don’t have to listen to-“ Seth put his hand over Harry’s mouth and dragged him into the hotel they were standing in front of.

“We have to find a way to get those books I showed you in that photo album.” Seth murmured, before looking down. He blinked when he saw Harry’s large green eyes staring back at him. Seth’s cheeks unnoticeably turned pink and he removed his hand from Harry’s mouth, and swallowed.

Harry peered up at him in confusion, silently wondering why Seth seemed so uncomfortable all of a sudden. Seth walked to the hotel keep and got a room for two before he said or did something that would embarrass them both. He quickly led Harry upstairs, to their room, taking the time to calm himself down.

Harry looked at him with a calculating expression on his face and Seth shifted uneasily. “Why are you so nervous?” Harry asked raising an eyebrow. Seth coughed into his hand all the while turning away so Harry wouldn’t see his reddening face.

Harry may not have known, and Seth was pretty sure he didn’t, but his denial of hating him had changed everything. Two years ago, just before Harry had turned 14, any brotherly affection he had, had for Harry had vanished. Left in its place was something Seth was too terrified to even think about. Due to that fact he had to disappear that whole year and came back after Cedric Diggory’s funeral, if only to comfort Harry until he was back on his feet, but then Harry had sent him scurrying back into isolation after the ‘Accident’.

Flashback

Seth soothingly rubbed Harry’s back as he sobbed. “Don’t worry Harry you know that Cedric was not angered by his death from what you’ve told me.” He said softly, as he ran his hand through Harry’s hair. Harry quieted down and laid his head over Seth’s heart sniffling a bit.

Seth didn’t know how long they had been there just lying entwined with each other, but he didn’t care, it had been a long time since they had done so. He unconsciously hugged Harry closer to him and just breathed. Soon Harry pulled away and stared down at him. “Thank You Seth.” He whispered. “You know that it was no problem.” Seth said smiling, which Harry weakly returned.

Harry laid his head near Seth’s and Seth forced himself not to stiffen, it had been very trying, to say in the least, to lay with Harry pressed so tightly against his body, but now…

Seth swallowed hard as Harry tilted his head closer, so their lips lay a scant inch from each others. Seth told himself not to give into temptation because it would be wrong to take advantage of someone who had been through so much recently.

“Harry?” Seth asked hesitantly, before freezing when Harry pressed his lips against his.”Please Seth make me feel better.” Harry whispered when he pulled back. Seth really didn’t want to take advantage of Harry but he found himself capturing Harry’s lips once more and rolling over so he was laying on top of Harry.

Harry gave a small gasp as Seth practically devoured him, giving Seth the advantage of slipping his tongue into Harry’s mouth. Seth ran his hand through Harry’s hair again, marveling at how soft it was, and longed to put his hands on other places. Seth’s hand roamed lower and Harry broke their kiss as he threw his head back with a moan on his lips. Seth’s lips found themselves latched onto Harry’s throat, and he gently nibbled on the soft pale flesh.

Seth eagerly shed Harry of his pants before cupping him roughly, Harry let out a strangled cry, bucking his hips against Seth’s hand. “Oh Seth... Please.” Harry managed to pant out.

That snapped Seth out of his lustful trance. And he paused before moving his hand from between Harry’s legs and to his hips to hold him down. Harry peered up at him in a daze after letting out a small whimper and Seth mentally cursed, how could he have let it get this far?.

Taking in Harry’s flushed cheeks, swollen lips and desire darkened eyes, Seth considered blowing moral to hell and taking Harry right then and there, but he shook his head and ignored the voice telling him to take the chance while he still had it. But oh was the temptation great.

Seth got up and backed away. Harry sat up and looked at him in confusion. “Seth?” he asked, looking a little hurt. Seth let out a shuddering breath, fighting hard against the urge to kiss the expression away, because if he did he would be lost and there would be no turning back.

He looked away, knowing that his eyes were bleeding into a dark red color, he didn’t want Harry to see it because they might remind Harry of Voldemort’s eyes. Which was unlikely seeing as the color of his lust was a red wine color but it couldn’t be chanced.

“I have to go” Seth whispered hoarsely. “What? Why Seth?” Harry asked, the hurt on his face growing more pronounced. “Was it something I did?” Harry asked looking down. Seth strode to him and lifted his head. “No, it’s me.. I can’t touch you like that, you are not yet ready to be in a relationship, much less in one with someone like me.” Seth muttered.

“But-“ Harry started. “Don’t worry Harry, I’ll be back in a few months, I just need to think a few things through for a little while.” Seth murmured cutting him off before disappearing.


End Flashback


Everything steadily gotten worse from there, every time he visited Harry they usually ended with Harry tossing something very sharp, or very painful if it hit, at him,

Seth sighed as he sat on his bed, and cautioned a look at Harry who he discover was looking out the window. The sunlight was shining directly in front of Harry, making a halo of light surround him. Seth quietly cursed as that familiar lust and desire slowly filled him when Harry unconsciously licked his lips.

‘I really hope I can survive being so close to him’ Seth thought turning away once more, not noticing Harry starring at him with a intense look of challenge on his face.

It would be a lie to say Seth’s behavior didn’t both interest and amuse him. Harry still didn’t know how Seth had come up with the ridiculous idea that he hated him. Harry paused and thought about all of their talks in the past. Okay so maybe he didn’t have to be so harsh with Seth, but really, all throughout fifth year his emotions had been out of wack, what with dealing with Umbitch, having the dreams of the corridor with the door, the torture lessons with Snape, Dumbledore ignoring him, trying not to kick Draco’s ass... the list went on and on.

But all of those reasons hadn’t added up to the amount of frustration he got when thinking about his feelings for Seth. Harry knew that his feelings for Seth had started growing around the beginning of third year when he had seen Seth without a shirt on, it had been Harry’s fault for that because he had accidentally spilled his fruit punch all over said shirt, and so Seth had gone without it for a while.

Harry could still remember thinking about how built Seth was and how he could easily... do things to him that he could only dream about, which he did.. Dream about I mean. Harry sighed , all though out summer before he left after blowing his Aunt Marge up, he had dropped hints to Seth almost daily with flirting and subtly teasing him. But no matter what he did Seth remained oblivious.

And so for revenge for third year he decided to tease Seth to a point where Seth would definitely notice by Harry would pretend that nothing was happening.

Harry grinned at his plan he wondered how long it would take for Seth to snap and pounce on him.

What Harry didn’t know that it would be happening sooner than he thought.
