After breakfast, Harry and Tom went up to the study upstairs. Harry was sitting cross legged on the burgundy rug near the hearth reading , while Tom was busy sitting at his desk doing some paperwork.
"Tom?"began Harry nervously, looking up from his book.
Tom stopped writing and smiled at him. "Yes, Harry?"
Harry bit his full pink bottom lip. Tom frowned. Harry was worrying him now. He never acted like this before.
"Harry, what's wrong?"he asked gently.
Harry kept staring at the floor, but he still replied: "Tom... it's just that... What're we going to do? How are we supposed to keep a child of ours out of Dumbledore's line of fire? How do we even raise a child? We both don't have the most sunniest childhoods to make reference to-."
Tom went over to Harry shushed him with a passionate kiss. Harry reacted and kissed him back forcefully , pushing him back onto the soft rug. Harry started unbuttoning his mate's robes but Tom beat him there by holding his hands down. He pulled out of the kiss.
"No, Harry. That was just to stop you from saying
something stupid,"chided Tom.
"Maybe I should say stupid things more often,"Harry pouted. "But Tom, really, what are we supposed to do? To be quite honest, I'm kinda freaked out. I don't have a dad to help guide me. I don't wanna be a horrible parent..."
Tom cupped his mate's face as he knelt on the rug. "Don't worry. I don't have a dad either (coz I killed him, with good reason too!) but I know that we'll love any children of ours to the best of our abilities, yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Now, don't worry your pretty little head about it!" Tom smiled. He then got off the floor and went back to his desk.
Harry laughed. "Hey, Tom?"he asked again.
"Yesssss?"
"Why do you have paperwork ? I mean like, aren't you a Dark Lord ? You should be ordering your minions about!"Harry exclaimed.
Tom chuckled. "I know. I wish that I didn't have to do any paperwork at all, but hey, being a Dark Lord is all unicorns fart and roses y'know..."
"Why don't you just set it on fire or something? There, no paperwork!"
"Harry, nooooo."groaned Tom.
