"come in!"

shotaro gulped before pushing the door of his best friend's dorm.

he found sungchan sprawled out on his bed, with bloodshot eyes because of the high amount of time he had spent on his phone.

"shotaro?" sunghcan rubbed his eyes to makes sure they weren't deceiving him. "what are you doing here?"

"i wanted us to go out." the ravenclaw replied honestly.

"us?" sungchan raised a brow. "i thought you wanted to spend more time with chenle."

shotaro fidgeted with his fingers, looking like the cutest otter in sungchan's mind.

"well... jisung forbade him to see me on tuesdays and thrusdays." shotaro told, making sungchan snort.

"you wouldn't have agreed with me if i had asked you that."

"yeah, but chenle loves his boyfriend too much for that." shotaro replied.

"oh, yeah, right- what?!"

shotaro flinched at sungchan's sudden outburst.

"why are you screamin?"

"did you just say boyfriend?" sungchan asked to make sure.

"yeah, jsung confessed a week and a half ago." shotaro replied. "they've been together ever sicne. didn't you know?"

sungchan stayed silent, thinking about what shotaro had just told him.

he cursed at jisung a few times for not even sending him a message to tell him about him confessing.

"sungchan?!" shotaro yelled for the nth time to catch his best friend's attention.

"yeah, sorry." he apologized. "what do you want from me?"

"well... asking me out would be cool, but- "

"WHAT?!"

shotaro cursed in japanese as he realised that he had said this out loud.

he didn't mean to tell his best friend directly that he had feelings for him.

he had tried making him understand this for a long time now, and sungchan never seemed to notice, so, let's say he had abandoned that idea.

"nothing." shotaro mumbled.

"did you ask me to ask you out?" sungchan questioned, standing up from his bed and approaching the boy.

shotaro gulped, feeling minuscule standing in front of his giant best friend.

"n-no..."

"you just did. i heard you." sungchan raised a brow.

shotaro bit his lip.

"y-yeah, but you don't have to! i know that you don't- "

shotaro was interrupted by sungchan's lips on his own, and he froze completely, unable to move.

"let's go on a date then." sungchan said, intertwining their hands together. "you're no longer my best friend, sho. you're now officially my boyfriend."

shotaro was still shocked with what had just happened.

he was still frozen on his spot.

"should i kiss you again?" sungchan asked, his face approaching dangerously shotaro's.

"n-n-no! let's go!" shotaro exclaimed, flushing bright red as his boyfriend chuckled behind him.

"jeno move your fucking ass or we're going to miss the departure for hogsmeade once again!" mark exclaimed, knocking on the bathroom's door hard.

"yeah, yeah! i'm almost done!" jeno replied from the inside as mark heard a lot of things fall on the floor. "shit!"

mark rolled his eyes, taking his phone out and dialling his boyfriend's number.

thankfully, he answered almost immediately.

"hello, mr gryffindor!" donghyuck exclaimed on the other side of the line.

"hey baby." mark smiled at his boyfriend's cheerfulness. "are you ready?"

"well, i am. but jaemin is taking all his time in the bathroom." donghyuck scoffed, and mark swears he heard a faint 'i swear i'm almost finished' in the background.

mark chuckled. "i have the same one here, don't worry."

"they're a good fit." donghyuck said. "i wonder if renjun is like this as well."

"renjun seems to be more organized." mark laughed. "but you're right. they found themselves matching boyfriends."

just then the bathroom's door opened, revealing a messy-haired jeno who looked like he was about to sob hard.

"jeno is out, baby. we're coming down."

"okay, i heard jaemin unlocking the door! love you!" donghyuck said.

"love you!" mark replied before hanging the call.

he looked at jeno and raised a brow.

"what's the problem?" he asked.

"i can't get my hair right..." jeno mumbled, pulling onto his raven hair.

mark chuckled at jeno's behaviour.

he surely wanted to look good in front of his two boyfriends.

"you're looking good now, don't worry. and i love your hair like this." mark commented.

jeno looked at his reflection in the mirror, contemplating if he shouldn't just shave his head to get rid of the bird nest that was currently his head.

"are you sure?" he asked skeptically.

"yeah, and you need to be too, because we're going to be late!"

a few seconds after, both boys were out of their dorm and out of the gryffindor common room, and they were both running their way towards the school's main gates.

after a few minutes of running, they could see the open gates with a group of people waiting for their name to be called.

mark and jeno accelerated their pace not seeing the two other boys that were running like them.

this caused jeno to collide with one of them.

"fuck, ouch..." jeno let out, rubbing his head that had hit the floor.

mark turned around, noticing a familiar brunette lying on jeno's stomach.

he quickly helped him up, checking his body for any injuries.

"are you okay, baby? were you hurt somewhere?" mark asked quickly.

"i'm okay." donghyuck replied.

back to jeno, jaemin had crouched next to him and helped him sitting and standing up.

he kissed the sore spot on his head a few times before glaring at donghyuck.

"be careful when you're running around!" jaemin told his best friend frowning. "you almost killed my boyfriend."

"come on, don't exaggerate. it's your boyfriend who ran full speed in my boyfriend!" mark exclaimed.

before jaemin could think about an answer, both him and mark burst out laughing.

this scene was all too familiar.

it reminded them of their first encounter.

"why are two hotties and two stupid boys laughing their asses off like that?" renjun asked, approaching the group of boys.

"nothing, cutie." jaemin pecked renjun's lips. "hyuck and jeno just collided."

"oh."

"mOVE YOUR LAZY ASSES! WWE'RE GOING!" a dolphin-like voice interrupted them.

they all turned towards the group of students waiting to go to hogsmeade, seeing two cute hufflepuffs standing there and waving at them.

the five boys rushed to the group of boys and waited for the teacher to call their names.

"you took your sweet time." chenle declared.

"chenle was obliged to pay the teacher for her to wait for you." jisung added, making the others laugh.

"sorry, lele."

"it's okay." chenle shrugged. "it's better for us to go there all together, don't you think?"

the six other boys nodded agreeing with what chenle had told.

and here started their trip to hogsmeade.

the seven friends enjoyed their time there, drinking butterbeers, eating candies, and just visiting the wizard village.

they felt good together.

their age difference didn't bother them.

neither did the fact they were form different houses.

and now, they were proud to say that their origins didn't matter too.

pure bloods, half-bloods, muggles... in the end, they were all wizards.
