Another-Talk-They-Had (IV) [Chapter 244]

“Wha– What? Just like that?” For the second time tonight, Tonks had managed to catch him off guard and he couldn’t help but sputter at her actions. Firstly, he wasn’t expecting her to accept the offer in the first place and secondly, he was a healthy young man, and being so close to Tonks was starting to affect him even though he was holding back any outward reaction using his Occlumency Barriers.

He had been close to his Mom, but he wasn’t in his physical body when he did that, so even if he was affected, it happened on the outside and when he saw Hela in the nude, he popped a boner, in both states, but he was more comfortable around Hela and his Mom, than he was around Tonks.

“Yeah… If I can be with you, I am completely on board” Tonks clarified proudly as she snaked her arms around his neck. “I thought you were disgusted with me… You aren’t disgusted by me, are you?” Tonks asked worriedly, looking straight into his eyes, looking for any hidden emotions, but to be honest, Harry couldn’t understand why she thought she would be disgusted at her.

Tonks was everything he wanted in a woman, so why would he be disgusted?

“Why would I be disgusted?” Harry asked, looking confused. Tonks gave him a weird look before she started to speak.

“Uh… You know we are kind of family, right? I mean after Sirius adopted you” Tonks explained, looking at him worriedly.

“Yeah… So, what’s the problem?” Harry asked, looking equally confused, making her eyes grow wide like saucers, and Harry suspected that she must have used her powers to make her eyes bigger.

“You don’t see a problem with that?” Tonks asked, looking at him in bewilderment.

“Uhh… There are some problems, obviously, but they can be easily avoided and we are far enough in the family tree that we wouldn’t need to worry about them” Harry explained, making Tonks stare at him with wide eyes before she started to cackle.

“So, you ran away because you wanted to chat with your lover?” Tonks asked in between her cackles and Harry decided not to humor her with an answer, which made her cackle harder. Harry was annoyed, but he decided to let it go… After all, he could cut his own lover some slack.

“I can’t believe it!” Tonks blurted out before continuing to cackle even more, but instead of becoming any more annoyed at her, a smile appeared on his face. To be honest, he couldn’t bring himself to be angry at her, not because he had agreed to accept her as his lover, but because he liked the feeling of being casual with her… After all, Tonks was an amazing woman.

“So, what’s her name?” Tonks asked after she finally calmed down and Harry froze at her question. The smile on his face disappeared and his face turned grim, while Tonks started to look at him with worry. She started to wonder if she had asked something she shouldn’t have.

“It is complicated…” Harry answered with a frown before he finally relaxed. “Someday, you are going to meet her, I promise you that, but for the time being, I am going to keep her identity to myself… I hope you can understand” Harry slowly explained and not knowing what else to do, Tonks simply nodded her head in acknowledgement even though she looked kind of unsure.

“”Uhh… I wonder… Can we kiss?” Tonks asked nervously after a few seconds of silence, but she was looking kind of hopeful.

“Sure… I didn’t get to enjoy the kiss last time” Harry accepted the offer as wasn’t able to enjoy the kiss last time, at least not completely and he had to admit, even though he lacked his physical body whenever he kissed his Mom, he enjoyed the feeling. So, he wanted to see if he could enjoy someone else kissing him since his mind wasn’t raging any more.

Instead of lunging at me, this time, Tonks decided to take it slow as she didn’t want to freak him out by some accident, but she stopped right in front of his lips, wanting to see if he was willing to close the distance… Harry realized what she was trying to do so he easily closed the distance and captured her lips. It wasn’t as magical as the first time he kissed his Mom, he had to admit, he liked kissing Tonks.

Maybe, he could fall in love with the feeling in the future…

“Do you want to stay over?” Tonks asked, pulling away a bit from her.

“Aren’t we moving too fast?” Harry asked, looking at her weirdly.

“No! No!” Tonks immediately blurted out, trying to clear the misunderstanding, realizing how her suggestion might have sounded. “No. No. We won’t be doing anything like that… You know, just cuddle and stuff?” Tonks explained nervously, not sure if she was pushing it. The Black Madness had her… There was no point in denying it or trying to stop it, so she decided to simply go with it.

After all, she didn’t want to turn out like her dear Aunty Bella…

“...Alright” Harry agreed after thinking for a bit. Tonks smiled widely and they returned to kissing…

~~Timeskip~~ (An hour later)

Harry appeared in Hel, looking for Hela, and found her Cultivating in the naked, once again. It has become a routine for her… Nowadays, she always stays in the nude, in an attempt to seduce him, which she always veiled as training. According to her, he should get used to sexy female bodies, so he doesn’t get seduced by an enemy…

“Peverall… I saw what happened” Hela said with a grin as she stood up.

“Yes… Well…” Harry trailed off, not sure how to bring it up. “But, I won’t be giving you any higher status than the others… All of them are going to be equal” Harry added. Since Hela saw everything through his eyes, he decided not to explain everything once again.

Hela arrived in front of him and leaned down… “While I am not enthralled by your decision, I am not going to complain… I am in no position to negotiate, husband” Hela replied in an amused tone as she stared straight into his eyes.

“I am not your husband, yet” Harry pointed out, but Hela simply waved her hand, dismissing the pesky detail.

“Semantics, husband, semantics…” Hela replied dismissively before capturing his lips with her own…
