Harry closes his eyes as Bill’s fingertips trace over his lightning bolt scar, his touch cool and soothing as his fingers trace the jagged line.

“Keep your eyes closed,” Bill murmurs as he trails his fingers softly down Harry’s cheek, over his lips, and down to his chest where Bill runs his fingertips over every little scar that litters Harry’s torso, gained from Quidditch, Voldemort and the war, and just plain clumsiness.

“You’re beautiful, you’re a fighter,” Bill says softly.

He reaches across for Harry’s hand and lifts it up, running his hot tongue across the top, right where the scar reads I must not tell lies.

“This isn’t a lie,” Bill says. “Your body isn’t a lie. Your scars are not a lie. They are part of who you are but they do not define you. The woman who made you do this is as big a monster as the one who gave me my scars.”

Harry opens his eyes, meeting the soft blue gaze of Bill. His handsome face is marred by thick, red, jagged lines that claw across his skin, but he is still beautiful. They’re both scarred, the two of them, Bill‘s fewer but larger; Harry’s greater but smaller. People always try to define them by them.

But Bill understands. Bill gets it. Bill tells Harry the truth.

I must not tell lies.

Bill kisses the top of Harry’s hand again, and then drapes himself over Harry’s body to kiss his lips instead.
