The Red Hair Finnigan's boyfriend

 

Julian Lambert is born in an American family one december 26th of the year 2023.

His mother, Alia Cranford, was 28 when she had him, six years after having her eldest son Dimitri, while his father Blaine was 31.

They didn't have any daughter and the two sons went along fairly well.

Well, that is until they decide to live in the United Kingdom.

 

To be honest, it was all Dimitri's fault! He's the one who wanted to have a scholarship in England after his exchange study there in his sophomore year. And since the family is quite wealthy, the parents decided to grant his wish and next Julian knows, they're moving in the Queen's land.

He was barely ten. He went to the British fifth grade, which in England represents the last year of the primary school (in U.S there is still a year before secondary school), and it was so different that he panicked and his magic showed up.

It was discreet, something like embarrassing someone else when the British children were mocking him and his American accent (truthfully, it already happened when he's younger and in the States. He's seven and everyone was laughing at him because he dropped his applesauce on his pants and it looked like he pissed on himself, so he panicked and everyone's milk dropped magically on their pants too). It was his worst nightmare and he almost asked his parents to not send him in the secondary school at the end of the year. (In America, it's called middle school, but it started after the sixth grade).

Thankfully, before they decided which school to send him (public or state school, while american call it private or public school), he received a letter.

 

And then, professor Cavacanti is at his place to explain him and his family everything. Dimitri was at first jealous.

"Why just him? You said that muggle-born are wizard's descendants, so why is he the only one who got all the magic?"

"Yeah, well, sometimes, some thing happen to some person."

And that is why he appreciates Elise Cavacanti.

Since he grew up in Arizona, he didn't know Hogwarts at all, neither he heard about the house that he's sent. Slytherin. Okay, sure, time passed and the figuration wasn't the same, but there is still pure-blood who looked at him like he's some specimen. It didn't bother him, he wasn't specially social (more socially selective) and didn't want fake friends (basically those who mocked him on his back) so just having few and true is fine.

Even at the first year, he already noticed that's little useless to learn only the magic stuff for nine months (except for the langage subjects, well, actually just Bulgarian, since his half-French), so he says so to his mother at the Christmas holiday.

"So, we just have to send you to a...normal state school," she shrugs off.

Muggle secondary school, it what is actually called.

"No! Please, mommy, don't send me in muggle school! The children are horrible and mean! And even if I don't learn much at Hogwarts, at least no one mocks my accent!"

"Well, that's useless if they don't teach you something that will be useful for your future. Maybe a public school, then? Children won't be that mean here," Alia says after exchanging a look with her husband Blaine. 

"Well, let him, mom," Dimitri intervened "I could teach him the 'muggle stuff' when he comes here."

"Really? You're gonna do it?"

"Yeah, why not?"

"Thanks, Dim!"

"So...ok, we gonna do it. Dimitri, you're in charge to teach him everything at the breaks."

At first, he didn't really think that his big brother will help him, maybe he will have to do everything by himself, learning in his old textbooks. But true at his word, Dimitri taught him everything he has to know (with a few friends when it's too difficult). And in exchange, Jul had to tell him everything that happened in the wizard school. Because, even if Dim was still sour to not inherit the magic, he wants to know this part of life, little masochist, right? But if Julian could learn without efforts, he won't complain. 

He enters in the karate club to spent his free time.

 

In the second year, he bonded with Jimmy Lupin, a metamorphmagus.

"Woah! How did you do that?"

"Well, I'm born like this. I have the ability to change my appearance as I wish."

"So cool. Can we learn this?"

"No. Unlike animagi, the metamorphic ability is of birth, not made."

"Ow, uncool."

He's elder than him, a third year Slytherin, and he's the DADA professor's son (Defense Against the Dark Arts, Teddy Lupin, he told Dim). And his mom- mum is the French professor, Victoire Lupin, and he has sister (at his promotion), Jenny Lupin in Hufflepuff, so a very school-y family and people said that he grew up at Hogwarts and something told him that's not just a rumor seeing how he ran into every passageway he met in his way. Anyway, he became his favorite elder, even if they sometimes couldn't understand each other.

"What's an elevator?"

"Hmm... I don't know." Since he couldn't find an equivalence in British English. It likes they're speaking different idioms.

"It's a lift," Julian's roommate, Ralph Banner, says.

"And what's a lift?" Because Jimmy was a wizard and didn't live like them.

"A machine which could lift you to higher floor. Which would be cool to have one."

Because the stairs were really unpredictable. 

And professor Malone told him that potion art (and cooking, for that matter) isn't his strong point. To be honest, it's his worst nightmare after being mocked. And since his lame performance lead to be laughed, that combine the two and it's became his first haunting. Dimitri approved (he didn't know how to cook either).

 

In third year, he learns that he could rig Imperial magic too if he is rightly focused in karate's practice. So, he could use magic more easily. At least, that's what the Demi-God Chris said.

How he knew a demigod? Well, it's simple, he's wizard, in a witch school, which existed thanks to God, especially Hecate, who create their race, so a demigod, gods' child, could totally come here and meet some wizard. Problem? Yeah, well, you had to deal with this answer.

And how and why the demigod come here just right now? Alright, starts to the beginning, in September, when the Finnigan's appeared (with Jimmy's brother, Tony in Gryffindor, also Metamorphmagus). Ok, first, it's indeed a potion professor's name, the experiment level teacher, which he will never meet because of his lame capacity in this discipline, Tobias Finnigan. He's the hottest single male teacher, according to what all the females students say, and he's blonde and young and sexy with his glasses and gentle although severe during his lesson. Julian almost choked of laugh when he heard that, really girls....

Anyway, since he's so famous among the students, Yeah, even among guys, they were just upset to learn that he had children, TWO fucking boys, twin actually. And one of them, a girl, Thelma Sherwood was just crushed by this new, and she's a Next. What's a Next? Oh, just some specials muggle-born who had the chance to be chosen by a gear which gave them some talent. Julian wasn't really awed by them, because they're just some random muggle-born with some advance (that he could catch up with imperial magic, he learned after the Talk with Chris, of course). In his opinion, he didn't think there was any trashy news, because hey, the boys seems pretty open-mind with their dad having a girlfriend (or boyfriend for that matter to Cael) since there isn't a mother presence. At this moment, Aiden is for him just a little red vigilante, fighting for the just way with his brother, and a boy who wanted to be noticed by his dad, 'cause seriously he struggles too much that's so obvious for everyone. Everyone safe the concerned. He didn't even mind his hair color. Because, he heard about the flashy color while the two others has blonde hair, even Thelma commented that, but he actually liked this color, it's illuminating.

Anyway, before Chris appeared, he witnessed a scene that stayed in his mind for his whole life. Two boys were kissing. Okay, actually, an elder Hufflepuff forced a kiss with Myron Tolibar, the poor Next with Psychometry by the kiss talent. So, he learnt that not only he disliked girls, but he's aroused by two males making out (even if one was forced, non-consent kink?). At first, he put that in the case he's young and in the age that everything could turn him up (he had to question Dimitri the truth about that) but then, he listened one of Chris' conversation and the word 'gay' came up. And he's wondering.

"What if I'm gay?"

"That's good. Girls are really balls-kicking."

"Chris!" Elise yelled at the demigod. And really, the teachers are so cool to be that close with a demigod.

"What? That's true, right kid?"

"Yeah, they're really noisy and boring with their supposedly feelings. I'm sure that my mom isn't like that." And one of the reason that Chris appreciated him is because he's American. "Wait, my mom."

"Yeah, what about her? She's repressed gay?"

"What? No! How could I tell her? And my dad? And Dimitri? They'll disowned me!"

"Probably."

"Chris!" Rose yells in turn. Mostly because of the boy's tears.

"Ow, come on, don't cry. You don't know if you don't tell them."

"But what if they act badly?"

"That means they aren't worth of you. Remember that you don't chose who you are but you can choose with who you will live with."

That's why this Christmas holiday, he came out. And surprisingly, they reacted pretty well. Because, Dimitri is the elder, so, he doesn't have to worry, just being pretty and lives perfectly as they asked him to.

Well, okay, why not?

 

At his fourth year, he tested gay stuff with Ralph Banners. Because his brother didn't want to tell him anything about it. Because ok, he wanted to know everything that happened in Hogwarts but he could avoid the gay part. And since his brother didn't want to have the Talk with him, he went to search for answers to his cool friends, much more open-mind and helpful. And one of them tell him about the hand-job. Sure, the masturbation could work too but it's more useful if it's with another one. And not that the cheap was gay, but sometimes having a free hand-job couldn't be refused and Ju could perform his skills for his future boyfriend, so win-win.

"You're really a nice guy, but to be honest I will forgot you at the end of the next year."

Ralph lifted (it became their private joke) a brow. "Yeah? Why's that?"

"My mom told me that after the O.W.L she will send me in muggle school. Apparently, wizards just have to pass this test to be considered like accomplished."

"Oh, I see. I'll miss you."

There is bit of silence.

"Mostly my hand."

"Yeah, well."

Yep, he won't remember him too much. He also discovered that to be a teacher's children was very a great point. Not only they could have some help of them in studies but their punishment weren't that hard. Just to keep after their kid. Like professor Cavacanti's (adopted) daughter, Iris, professor Carmichael's (he won't know this teacher either since he taught muggle studies and he's muggle born, thank you very much) son or toddlers basically, Philip/Phoebe/Perry, and professor Goldstein's son, Reed.

"Why couldn't you call Kenneth?" Aiden complained one day.

"Well, we wouldn't bother him just for few kids." Elise Cavacanti shrugged.

"Excuse me? There is three brats who just keep crying for whatever reason is it!" Cael snarled.

"Come on, if you didn't do what you did, maybe you wouldn't be here," Harley Wood lectured him.

"Yeah, well, you tempted us and please, Iris, stop crying," the ginger sobbed. "Come on, princess, you almost three, don't be childish."

Julian didn't hear much but the teaser made his mind, to be (wizards) teacher's children is cool.

 

But turns out that in fifth year, he fell in love.

He's not sure how it happened but it seemed that's because of Eileen Goldstein. Jimmy's German cousin (because they have same ancestor in the Weasley family) who entered in Slytherin, and it seemed that Jim will welcomed a member of his extended family every year since there was also his last sister Fanny, who entered in Ravenclaw (and thankfully because this girl is really clumsy that's worrysome).

So, yeah, professor Goldstein's daughter prompted his best friend Aiden Finnigan to attend the karate club (or at least an art martial club) to entertain himself. And they actually met. So, yeah, you could visualize that, Julian was little haughty when he's chosen (because of his experiment) to face the newbie, well, if he passed him. Kidding, that he could pass him (as if!) or not, he'll be rookie. But Aiden passed him and he fell, hard.

So, the kid wasn't just professor Finnigan's son who had to take care of kids by singing (yeah, he heard that too), but he also practiced kung-fu AND tricking because he had relatives who taught him to. Okay, that's really good to be the 30 legends and teacher's children. The life is unfair.

But all his project changed. Starting in this Christmas holiday, he asked his brother's friend some advice to be good at sex.

"But it's too big! I can't take all this in my mouth!"

The kitchen's door bursts open. "What. Are. You. Doing. With. My. Little. Brother." Dimitri growls menacingly.

And he doesn't calm down when he sees that the said brother just has a cucumber in his mouth.

"What are you doing?" He askes again but with less growls.

"He's teaching me how to give a blowjob."

"Aw, your brother is so cute!" Thea Watson cooes at his bro.

She's a college student that Dimitri met during history period and they go out together since. Julian didn't like girls but he could deal with her because his bro really likes her.

"I will teach you!"

And he'll appreciate her more if she keeps acting like that!

"Ew, did you just eat the cucumber that you tried something sexual just before?" Dim snorts.

"Why not? It's comestible! And Aiden is pure vegan so I better start here!"

"Aww, he's so cute! Changing his whole diet just for the boy he likes!"

Yeah, well. He won't leave Hogwarts at the end of the year and all girls weren't that boring and whining. Or it's just Eileen. 

In the middle of the third semester, he suddenly hears Jimmy (sixth year, who found a bestie in the prefect Neil Urquhart) having an argument with her.

"Why don't you tell him it's Tom Zeyon's artwork?" Ralph askes, having heard the conversation too.

They are chatting about this mirror that appeared in this salon magically (okay, that pun's lame), created by the Next with the Dimension talent and who is close to Aiden (no, it wasn't jealousy).

"Because it's funny to make fun of him," the first year replies without even feeling a little sorry while talking about her relative.

Yeah, definitely, just her.

 

In his sixth year, he's chosen to be prefect.

He doesn't understand why, because they are chosen before fifth year so they could make justice for two years, instead, he has to act like a model for only one year. Plus he's muggle-born and in the karate club. At least, he wasn't the captain. Ah, maybe that's why, Ralph is Quidditch captain (and muggle-born) and not really good in study. Well, he isn't bad himself (except in potion, but he didn't pursue, so...), maybe that's why. Maybe, because it's not like he could ask the headmaster what he had in mind. Well, he could, but that's mean to be bold and close to the Hogwarts staff and to go along with his future boyfriend's dad and he's not sure he's ready for that.

Well, at least, it allowes him to have Aiden so he's not gonna complain too much. Although it's a totally sly method. But, come on, he's Slytherin (lame excuse, again).

Ralph get it pretty fast.

"Oh, that's why you choose to stay for two others years while you said the contrary not two years ago."

Actually nevermind, he actually knows why he was picked to be prefect in sixth year. The former prefect chosen during their fifth year didn't come back for a sixth and seventh year and he was the next best option. Since, he didn't do the same and actual comes back. 

Ralph speaks up again with a hum: "Hmm, I approve, he's becoming gorgeous."

If even a not-remotely bi-curious says that. "Shut up, he's mine."

"Sure you don't want a threesome?"

Well, maybe little interested.

Wait, no, he doesn't share. 

"You could be sure to not have any hand-job anymore."

"Oh, right. Have fun."

 

The guy really is an asshole, because he sure couldn't have hand-job either since he started with that to have the poor ginger. And he noticed that Aiden is wary since then. He stiffened more when his kiss lowered and he's almost blazed when he gave him his first hickey.

"You gave me a hickey? How could I hide that, it's right under my jaw! Don't do it again!"

And his glow was daring him to do again otherwise not more make out. But he did again, because he's Slytherin and he loves breaking the rules. And because Ai enjoyed this as much as he did, if his lust gaze said anything. And Ju always had a boner at the end of their make out session, making him jerk off madly in his bed.

"Still that frustrated? Although you lifted him to the heaven?"

Julian glared at Ralph as much for the private joke than him not in the mood and also because is true, Aiden got some barrier 'cause he always stopped him when it's too far. And he made him like a dirty secret, not telling him to anyone. Even if Eileen seemed to have guessed something. Uh.

 

 

And on Christmas day it's his turn to introduce his boyfriend to his family. At this occasion, everyone get to know he's serious about this relation because...

"An exhibition? You want to see an exhibition? Woah, you must really love him to go see an exposition that you find, I quote, 'boring, too calm and annoying like death', especially a private one so more 'boring, calm and annoying', which it's the same that the first qualification," Dimitri notes.

"Will you actually see the exposed artworks?" His dad Blaine askes since he's the one who could get him the tickets.

Julian could only stutter unintelligible words.

"Well, I think that he had a more beautiful artwork to contemplate," his mother Alia tauntes him lightly.

Her younger son blushes violently.

"Well, why don't you invite him here after your...visit in the private exposition, that I will get you the tickets of course, to introduce us?" Blaine suggestes, ending the supper.

"Sure," he squeaks, red.

And that's not finished, the evil twin under his blonde appearance mockes him too, saying that's too bad Aiden can't manage to sleepover at his place, because he can't spent the night out of his house. Well, he didn't actually think about that until it's brought up, this fucking ass.

The introduction goes pretty great. Dimitri also brings Thea at their place for the afternoon and when they get home, they just have the time to (the soon-to-be family to) greet (well, that's what he wishes).

"Nice to meet you, Aiden! I heard that you're really sweet and you're the best for Julian!"

The younger smiles to be polite. "I-... Never heard about you, but it's indeed nice to meet you."

Julian laughes quite awkwardly. "It's Thea, my brother's pregnant wife."

"Oh! You're pregnant? It's not obvious at all! Congratulation!"

Thea smiles sweetly but is lead outside by her husband and the young couple is greeted by the hosts.

"I'm glad to finally meet you, my sweet boy!" Alia beames at him.

"Yeah, Julian talked about you a lot! It was Aiden at the morning and Aiden in the night, like he couldn't say anything without your name," Blaine adds to embarrass his younger son.

"Dad!" And it works if Julian's blush was anything. Plus the boyfriend flush, bonus.

"Well, I personally heard about your support to your son and that you're the one who got us those tickets, so thank you!"

"Oh, that was nothing. So you're interest in art?"

"Yes, but I'm just drawing for fun."

"Tea?" Alia proposes suddenly.

"Sure, thank you!"

After a tiny tea time, Julian stands up and asks to go to his room with his guest.

"The door stays open!"

"Mom!"

Well, his family loves to taunt him in front of his boyfriend.

So he presents him his bedroom, his sanctuary with the Flash items. Because, come on, it's the Flash. And Aiden is enchanted too after he introduced him in the comic universe. Although he prefers the hero just for his timetravel ability.

Then they kiss for a while because the younger's mouth is addictive like a drug. He ends up on his back, Aiden's straddling him and very aroused. But he doesn't know if he's ready for the second-base after three months of relationship. So he progresses his hands slowly to the boy's crotch.

"Eve! Dinner's ready!"

But his mom is at his doorframe with a sweet smile and Aiden moves back quickly as if he is burned. He sighs heavily because it totally is a cockblock. "Yeah, we're coming, mom. And not in the good way, anyway."

The poor Irish is just blushing madly when he stands up to go down. But he suddenly turns back and smirks to recompose himself.

"Eve?"

"Yeah, well, that's my middle name," he admits dramatically, then he adds quickly because it seems there was a quid pro quod "Everett, I mean. Don't you have one?"

"I have. Eli."

"Yeah? That's pretty. Like you."

After the dinner, it's time to go home.

"My little boy, I heard that you don't have a mother. I know that we just met but if you want I can be this woman for you, at least partially."

"Really? Thank you, mum!"

Blaine widens his eyes, looking gobsmackingly at the boy, while Julian fists bump the air like he won something. He really feels like winning the lotto.

"You don't have to accompany me. It's useless."

"So kiss good bye, boys. It's time."

Julian hushes his dad, turning red that his parents are looking at them while they're saying goodbye to each other.

"Don't be shy! I already saw all that earlier!" His mother gushes.

And really, they're just here to make fun of him. Aiden kisses him lightly with a pretty blush across his face then runs off. It's the most beautiful Christmas.

 

His last year at Hogwarts is a little blurry at the beginning. He just remembers that they reached the second base (after a whole summer break spending time to each other's house by napping or making out or playing with each other's friend -actually, some of the 30 legends descendants and Dimitri's friends) and he's in heaven even if he hadn't had the favor back, he's just desperate to touch the younger. Then, it's Samain (Celtic holiday) and he did something disapproving. He drank the lucky liquid leading him to be taken care.

At first, he felt guilty when Aiden proposes to give him pleasure -by massaging him, okay? Nothing kinky- because it doesn't seem to be genuine at his point of view then he just couldn't hold back his growls when the ginger spots his erogenous zone -lower back, just above his asscheeks- that he didn't even know. And Aiden's a sadistic panda. He didn't even know that the Felix Felicis could make that ! This little prick insists quite awkwardly to release him and he's just hard and can't think straight so he concedes. And it just needs two little -clumsy- strokes and he's coming very hard because he held himself during all the massage. It splashs on his boyfriend's abs and pants. Which has a bulge proving he isn't the only one aroused. And it turns him on again if he trusts his twitched cock. He undresses him to release the engaged boner and reachs his magic lube to give him pleasure. And while Aiden was reaching paradise, he kisses him hard and just knows that he's hard again.

"...what is it?"

"What? The lube? Well, I think you already know that."

But no, he didn't.

"Really? But it's the magic version! You know, the one that pill up all the cum to not splash everywhere."

"Oh. This is why every time you do me there isn't any mess? Sorry, if I dirtied you."

Well, actually, he's the one who was dirty and Julian just wants to mess him more. Like make him facial, to show that he marked him, but somehow he's expecting to not be approved.

And indeed, Aiden's repulsed by the sex. And okay, before there is some accusation like he abused the younger with the lucky liquid, the hand-job stuff wasn't that disgusting, no more than the blowjob, anyway. Because you know, it's the contact between a mouth and a cock, and it's...awful. For both of them, according Aiden's stammering.

"Are you asexual?"

"What? No! I like sex, but I think I could also live without."

Except Julian is little desperate so he pushes and is rewarded. But it was their last time and they break up since they couldn't really make the long-distance work.

 

He was miserable for the whole summer even if his family tried to cheer him up.

Even Wade Lambert, his brother's and Thea's son born last year, is trying to play with him. He feels better at the fall semester because he had to attend the Oxford University. And of course, he get the place, Dimitri's good teacher when he want to and Thea and his friends were also here to help, and he still worked here to his research, being a lawyer.

Since he didn't live next to the College, he asked a dorm room, living once again far to his parents. At least, the breaks are more numerous than Hogwarts. And once again, it's a shared room. Carter Spencer, a second year in History study, seemed to be interested in him. Or having sex with. Because he proposed to have casual sex, no bond. He hesitated at first, but then he wanted to know how is it to have sex with a guy and to be the bottom so he accepted with the condition of no kissing. He just feels in the wrong to kiss somebody else, and mostly taller than him.

He would never have thought that he will receive his letter.

Well, it was just an information about his meeting with a speedster, Alexis Hale a Next with running talent. It should make him jealous because the younger knows someone like this but he's glad to have his news (even if he's little jealous by the fact that he's close with the speedster, to the point to get a ride...). But it was just once.

April, he's still sad to not have more news about his ex, but he's taken aback to actually see him.

Because his dad married a Next, the famous Thelma Sherwood who get what she wanted with a Finnigan, Aiden comes to see him to change idea. He's actually not sure who changes who's mind because of Aiden's evil mouth.

"Do you want me to give you a petite mort?"

Ju is a mess of sputters. Surprising and embarrassing his ex.

"Wha-... Why are you so flushed?"

He must be pretty confused since the only way he could know french is with professor Lupin and Hogwarts' course certainly doesn't teach that. How shocking he is to learn he's actually half-French.

"Oh, for my part, I saw some movie in French during my childhood, being part of my education to know more languages."

Julian lets the deflect passed but won't give up what seems a seduction. But why would Aiden's been seducing him? 

"Why did you tell me that?"

"Won't you forget that? I was just..."

"Did you mean it? Were you really thinking it?"

There is a pause and Julian nearly lets it go, because he's like that, he doesn't want to make Aiden's bad. But then, the ginger says it.

"Yeah, of course. I came here for changing my mind. If that's mean having an orgasm, I'm willing if you're my partner."

"Well... Que dirais-tu que je te fasse vivre une petite mort, plutôt?" 

He barely lets him integrate it before kneeling in front of him and taking him wholly. He wants to alter his train of thought, he's gonna give him it. And he does his part better. He blows him and makes him reach heaven in no time. Especially since he learns how to deep-throat. 

Aiden cries out before coming uncontrollably in his mouth. However, when the younger wanted to return the favori, like always, Jul has something else in his mind. If he can't have his feelings, he had to have his body. At least, be his first. But even dizzy by the orgarm, Aiden doesn't let him go that far. He stars to pump him when he has a finger inside him. And Julian hates himself so much. To be that weak with him and to have nearly commit rape.

Before leaving him, Aiden broke his heart.

He said : "Thank you and goodbye."

And somehow Julian understands that they won't be seeing each other again. Well, not so soon. So he bursted in tears uncontrollably.

So much that Carter had to call his mom to come comfort him. Alia was distraught to say and she held her son as tightly as she could while she listen helplessly to him sobbing like there isn't tomorrow. And probably there isn't for him.

He wishes it was just a teenage crush, like every brief relationship. He tries so hard to forget him, but he just couldn't. 

After this explosion, he spents the rest of the two years to earn his law degree. But then, instead of using that, he enters in the security force, justice department who deals with the magic stuff too. He didn't have any of Aiden's news again.

 

Well, not directly. After two years in police function, being a lonely 22 years old single man, he heard about Ralph Banners. His former dormmate in Slytherin house, that he said he won't have contact anymore, but it seemed he's irresistible. He accepts the call one December night without checking the ID number. Not like he could recognized.

"Do you have the BBC canal ?" A male voice, that he knew, greeted him.

"Banners. How did you got my personal phone number?"

"I'm glad you recognized me but you should check out the BBC canal. And if you haven't, knock at your neighbors, I'm sure they're subscribed. Unlike some people."

Seeing he won't have his answer he goes to grab the remote and opened at the asked Chanel. Because even if he's not into tv, he subscribed to entertain his nephew and niece, thank you very much.

"Okay and?"

"What do you see?"

"... Some random show which name's Some Dreams."

"And who do you see?"

"What is your point?! Couldn't you just tell... -me? Aiden?"

"Yes. It's your ex. A famous actor thanks to this show, R-Dream."

When he doesn't say anything, Ralph hungs up with a sarcastic 'you're welcome', and Julian doesn't even know how he ends up on the couch watching a show that he never heard about. It's the seventh episode, the members of the R-Dream agency had to accomplish some mission on the beach and Bastian (portrayed by Aiden) was complaining about the sun that will burn him because he's fucking sensitive. Julian snapped at the vampire commentary by another actor and held his breath.

God, four years without any news and he discovers his lover is actor, playing a young gay and kissing another man that'll be diffused on the international screen (because British Chanel wasn't the same as the American, thus the late diffusion in the year while in the States the show is already finished), well the first season because it was just a success and the audience exploded.

After this, he researches deeply about this Aden Brooks guy (Brooks! It's his mother maid name, hence he was so interested by this artist who's probably his family!), and keeps in touch with Ralph (who worked as a private detective) and learned that his career began at his eighteen. Technically it's at his seventeen, when he first film with The Borough cast but it is diffused when he's eighteen and before that he acted in some ads. Then, he had one years of being (just) special guest in some random show like two episode of S.C.I.3.N.C.E which he played Jasper, a fucking brat, and a cameo in one last episode which he's dead ; or Where's the destiny? Which one he appeared for five episodes just to be pretty and singing like an angel but still a prick ; and he appeared again in one episode of The Borough to play Alden one more time who served as rebound. At least it was the last appearance where he still had some nice figure. Before Bastian of R-Dream. Curiosity with the real life and the show is that Aiden- Aden was really different of his character. In real life, he's all hug and cuddle and so lovely while in the show he's awful with everyone except his dads (yes, in plural) and Jason, this fucker who played the ex-boyfriend who didn't want to date him anymore because... For some reason. Which made Bastian now that horrible.

Julian begins to follow quite closely this show, but especially for his ex. And all his interview. And his social media. Actually everywhere and every time he appears. Like a stalker. Like Bastian. 

(It's funny how he could totally fit in Bastian's description while Aiden fitted in Jason's with his hesitation. And just that, because he's nothing like the heartbreaker.) 

 

The following year, he hears about the filming of season two will be part in France and part in the States (because the whole first season was filmed in Vancouver, Canada) and he's mourning because he couldn't go.

"Stop flowing black and go ask a rest then go find your lover!" His brother Dimitri yells at him.

"I can't! As if he won't freak out to find me at the same place than him!"

"Why would he? You do whatever you want! It's not like he asked you to not show yourself in front of him!"

"No, because I think he totally forgot me."

"Well... Just make him remember everything you shared. And the sexy time," Dimitri adds lower.

"Doesn't it make me desperate?"

"And aren't you?"

"Not helping," Julian grumbles.

In the end, he doesn't go to France. And when he decides to take a holidays in that place, the film already ended for two weeks.

"You're so pathetic," Dim mumbles.

But Wade, at five, hears that and imitates his father.

"Pathetic!" He shouts happily.

"Passetic!" Elea Lambert, three, tries too.

"It's pathetic, baby," Thea corrected.

"Don't add anymore, dear", her husband choked on his cup of tea.

Julian secretly hopes he can't make it anymore.

 

The next year, he still follows every media his ex shows up and watches all his film and shot. 'Cause he's a stalker and coward and cannot do anything else. He checks up with Ralph Banner quite awkwardly since he said he wouldn't see again at the end of Hogwarts. But both men have some affinity and keep seeing each other as their work could be related.

Two years later though, everything turns to tragedy. Aiden witnesses his coworker being exploded by a Next. He was never thrilled by those special muggle-born but some of their superiority always made him growl and now he just want to beat some of them up.

But he couldn't. Neither use violence to set things up because he's in the police force nor could he comfort his love from the pain he has to suffer. Aden Brooks disappears of the screen and the showbiz world from that day.

 

Two years later again, he learns from Eileen herself that his significant other is in the Kingdom, because the former got married and her bestfriend has to attend the wedding. She also told him he's workless, so if he wants to have fun with him, it's now or never.
