AN: You know what? Why not just put this up?

DONE! FINALLY FREAKING DONE WITH THIS FIC! I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, AND IT'S FREAKING WONDERFUL!

Thank you so much to everyone that has been following along on here and ao3. Your reviews and support have been such great motivation for what was going to be a one-shot born out of desperation to avoid Russian homework. It has gotten me through writing slumps, mental and physical health issues, and the general madness of being an undergrad.

A special thanks goes out to the usual crowd who reads these fics (carolqc14, BriP, Alittlemorecreative, TD90, Dark Singer, ObeliskX, and etc), and to people like TatterdemalionDandelion for leaving reviews. Also to Pottermum, Sriram and Hufflepuffity on tumblr and ao3 for being such great support.

Title: You've Got the Love: Chapter Five: Epilogue

Word Count: 533

Summary: Harry has a small crisis regarding his sexuality when becoming someone's flatmate. He wouldn't be having this problem if he'd roomed with Neville instead. Partial Gender-Bend


"M'gonna get the mail," Gid muttered. He kissed Harry's jaw to make it easier to untangle their limbs, feeling the sleepy wizard sigh and move as Gid kissed further down Harry's neck. His boyfriend (boyfriend? Flatemate-turned-snogging partner? They really needed to decide on that at some point) complied with some mumbled words. He shivered as his feet hit the cold wooden floor, and then he started searching for something to put on.

Clothes were scattered around his room, and he wasn't sure how Harry's tie had managed to land on his dresser, and Gid had no clue where his shoes could be. The part between leaving the wedding and entering the bed was a pleasant blur.

Harry squirmed and frowned. "Neh. Cold now." He took up Gid's side of the bed and cocooned himself in the warm sheets.

Gid snorted and loosely tied the belt to his rumpled sleeping gown. "I'm making a pot of tea, too. You want anything, luv?"

The dark-haired wizard readjusted his weight and opened a single green eye. "Just you. Get back here and we'll talk about better nicknames."

"I'm adding toast to that tea."

"Get back in this bed, Weasley," Harry ordered. Sounding more awake, he sat up and was using the voice that he did to boss the other Aurors around. It was a nice sort of voice that Gid liked. It only made Harry more attractive with his tousled morning hair and the lovebites making his dark skin. "We got some years to make up for."

"Orange slices," Gid added thoughtfully. "Hate to get scurvy if we're planning on staying in that bed for so long…" He shuffled out of his (or was it now their? Really, what were they going to do about the sleeping arrangements?) bedroom and went to the kitchen to be greeted by their owls. Velma and Prometheus were eying a third companion that has just flown through the window. Unlike the paper or some letters that were tied to their talons, this one had a package attached to him.

Pausing, Gid kept some space between him and the black-feathered owl. It was George's Felix, and he never liked how those crafty eyes always looked at him.

Felix hooted impatiently.

"Fine," Gid muttered. He cut the package free and shooed the bird. "Now go before you cause a scene." Felix pecked his hand and left with a quick glare.

It was a small box, but Gid knew what surprises his older brother was capable of. He poked it a few times with his wand. Maybe he should get Harry out of bed? Surely a highly trained Auror would know what spells to use to ensure that a package was safe to open?

But it's not like George would send something horrible after yesterday? Gid thought. He'll have to be a wanker to try anything. Shrugging, he made a mental note that the first-aid kit was in the cabinet, and he opened the box—only to get showered with purple confetti.

"Harry!" Gid spat the confetti out of his mouth. "Help me kill George later today!"

Inside was a small chocolate cake with words done in purple icing: Congratulations on the Sex.
