So sorry that I haven't updated 'Very Much His' in a long while. I already have the 3rd chapter - it's just not finished yet. So forgive me; you'll have to wait a little longer for that update. In the meanwhile, I'm putting this one up. It's something like a drabble. It's not arranged in any way so expect that you'll be hella confused. Anyways, enjoy!

Secret Affairs (Entry 1)

1. Legend

Harry James Potter is known by names – "The Boy Who Lived", "The Chosen One", "The Prophesied Child", "Golden Boy", "The Youngest Seeker in the Century", "Youngest Triwizard Champion", "The Vanquisher", and just recently "The Master of Death". But never in all his time since returning to the Wizarding World when he had been 11 was he ever known as Harry. Just Harry. Yet as a man who had done only incredible things and defied all the impossible, he is nothing short of a legend.

And that's not exactly a good thing.

2. Responsibilities

Many thought that being a celebrity would remove all responsibilities off your shoulders. Harry would vehemently deny that claim as it was his duties that made him such. As a wizard, he was to care for his society; as a lord of an ancient and noble House, he was to handle the family businesses and fortune; as the unofficial consultant of the Headmaster/Headmistress of Hogwarts (and being the direct descendant of Godric Gryffindor), he was to oversee the education of the next generation; as an icon, he had a duty to the Ministry; as the Master of Death, he had a responsibility to protecting life.

A man's job is never done.

3. Company

Arthur Kirkland was used to being alone. After all, you had to adjust to being abandoned by your brothers once you turn into an independent nation and later to being abandoned by your own colonies once they begin gaining their independence. But ever since meeting Harry, the gentleman who own the small café down in London, the English nation wondered how he was able to go through a day without the man's company.

4. Improvement

'His scones have improved,' was the similar thought that ran through the minds of Matthew and Kevin who were visiting their mentor that lazy afternoon.

And they weren't kidding. The scones weren't burnt black, they were edible, and though it tasted bland, it was soft and chewy.

The personifications of Canada and Australia wondered what had made the English nation improve in his baking so much. After all, Arthur's baking skills has been abysmal at best for centuries.

5. Routine

Arthur Kirkland always came around the "Selkie's Pot" every 1 in the afternoon (12 if he was lucky), always ordering the usual Earl Grey Tea (no sugar and a dash of milk) with a plateful of chocolate éclairs and treacle tarts coupled with a long relaxing chat with the owner himself. By 2:30, Arthur would do his paperwork inside the café as the owner, Harry, would begin filling delivery orders. Once 7 o'clock begins rolling in, the café would start emptying and Harry, ever the gentleman, would invite Arthur out to dinner or to stay a little longer as Harry prepares them a meal. At last, the evening would fall upon them and Arthur would be forced back home, making Harry offer the blond Englishman a ride home even though he had a chauffeur waiting outside.

Their meetings were like clockwork, something that happened without thought and without fail. And yet they were looked forward to and greatly enjoyed.

Harry and Arthur didn't know which direction their relationship was heading but so far they weren't opposed to it.
