Keith was confused and frustrated in more ways than one. He wondered vaguely if Rowan was still awake and if he was if he would be okay with a visit. That was something Keith highly doubted. He shoved his hands in his pockets and bowed his head against a light wind that had started up.
Maybe he should give up, maybe tonight was just another sign that this was the end. But he didn't want to! He had worked hard and to throw it all away...

The time before their Portkey left was ticking away quickly. They'd hurried back to the Hogwarts, but as they'd started the trek across the lawns, Rowan had been struck by the moonlight playing against Shianni's pale hair. He'd had to kiss her, to remind himself that their wedding night would be special, and he could wait just that long.

Shianni let out an uncharacteristic giggle at the kiss which turned into a low hum of pleasure soon after. She loved this, loved him and she had hoped for something to hold her over until the time when they would finally be alone again in the night.

Keith saw the couple up ahead and wrinkled his nose. It wasn't what he would normally have done but he wasn't really in the mood to just pass by. As he came closer and opened his lips to tell what he was sure was a student couple getting back late he slowly started to realize that he recognized the tall frames. He stopped in his tracks, dumbfounded and unable to speak. His mind had to be playing tricks on him.

"It's so hard to wait," Rowan murmured against Shianni's lips. His hands firmed around her slender waist. "We should hurry and pack, maybe we'll have time before the Portkey." A moment passed as he stole another kiss. Then he pulled back slightly to look at her. "Do you know how long it takes?"

Shianni shook her head, her cheeks reddening. "No, I only have one experience to speak from and that...he lingered." It was the best way she could put it without feeling incredibly dirty that she had been unable to wait for Rowan. "I wish you could have been my first," she whispered.

"No!" Keith was close enough to have heard at least some of it. Wild thoughts flooded his mind. They were obviously close, obviously infatuated with each other, that wasn't something that just appeared overnight, not like that with the soft murmurs. Had Rowan been lying to him this whole time? He took quick steps to come level with the couple and reached out to pull Rowan around to face him. "What the hell's going on, Rowan?" This was too much to happen tonight.

Rowan's eyes widened, and for a moment he was furious that they'd been interrupted. Then recognition lit his face, and he was suddenly apologetic. "I'm so sorry," he said. "I should have invited you, but it happened so fast! I'm glad you're here!" He turned toward Shianni. "This is Keith! I know, you know each other, but he's my friend, we do everything together."

Shianni's eyes brightened. "Oh, it is so nice to meet you, then. I am glad I have the chance to do so before we go to Peru." She held out a hand for Keith to shake. Too bad it had happened so quickly, or else Keith could have been involved in the little ceremony.

"Wait? What? No...I'm your...what's going on, Rowan? Why were you kissing her? And why are you going to Peru?" Keith ignored the offered hand and his gaze barely flickered over to the woman enough to recognize her. Instead, his confused eyes were focused on Rowan. Why was Rowan acting like this was all perfectly normal?

"Why wouldn't I kiss my wife?" Rowan asked. "Tonight we realized how in love we are. We got married in London at midnight, and at one we have a Portkey to visit her family. We'll be finishing off our holiday there and having a formal honeymoon in the spring." Rowan turned to gaze at Shianni, his chest swelling with pride.

"What? What? No, no no, Rowan, I don't get...I don't understand..." And Keith certainly couldn't find the words to explain all that was racing through his heart and mind. "I thought..." What had he thought? "But you don't like...you're asexual!" It was the only thought he could fully form at the moment.

"I love her, and that makes all the difference in the world," Rowan said. "I'm disappointed that you're not more supportive of this, Keith. "Certainly you aren't confused as to why I love her, as it's perfectly clear. I would hate to think you had anything less than the utmost regard for Shianni." It seemed that way though, and Rowan's temper was rising.

"Because we're together, Rowan!" Keith said. "Why the hell would I be supportive when the guy I've been with for the past four months shows up married to someone?! You arse!" He couldn't believe that Rowan had done this, it was just something his mind couldn't comprehend, not when Rowan had for so long been against attachment of nearly any kind.

Shianni could not accept being spoken over any longer at that. "How dare you speak to him that way?" she demanded, pale eyes flashing. "We love each other, how can you condemn us for this? You must be mistaken, sir, if you think Rowan wishes to be with anyone other than me."
