HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

[gdilevi]

Baebee Daddy Cecil,

Happy Father's Day! You should wear your DILF jorts again today to celebrate! The Father of Three Beautiful Children look really suits you.

I love you and I love raising our catson with you. Less than a week now and we can adopt all the dogs (and/or cats) we want! But before that... I have a deep, dark confession to make. I've been keeping secrets from you so I could make a dramatic reveal. Please turn your attention to your gift bag and try to ignore me excitedly hovering over your shoulder!

xoxo,
Levi & Uric

[Slipped into the card is an expired BB&B coupon and a photo similar to this of Levi holding Uric. In a gift bag recycled from somebody's birthday are a few torn open envelopes with letters from different Quidditch scouts inside.

Most notably is a hand written letter from one from the reps of the Ballycastle Bats, asking Levi to visit Ireland over the summer to meet with the manager. They already seem chummy with him and the letter is filled with plenty of bat puns. It looks promising.]

Levi doesn't expect an easy agreement, but he's relieved to hear it's not an immediate refusal. The offers from American teams have been lackluster in comparison and he's received no offers from his first choice, ANQ. Ballycastle Bats aren't a national team and won't play in the World Cup like Levi's always dreamed, but they're one of the best UK teams (not to mention Levi's favorite UK team from their theme alone) and the most promising offer he's received. Passing up an opportunity like this would lead to lifelong regret.

"Come to Ireland with me for my tryout?" he asks after a moment's pause, voice soft, almost pleading, "We can see the sights. There are castles and... leprechauns!" Levi knows as much about Ireland as Cecil does. "And we can pop over to London and visit Diagon Alley. Maybe we'll even run into Harry Potter."

Hearing that desperate note in Levi's voice makes Cecil's chest tighten with regret. He slips his hand around the other boy's and squeezes it gently, looking over his shoulder at him before he starts again. "I didn't mean...It's not that I don't want to go with you," he says quietly, pulling in a small breath and smiling unexpectedly. The expression is warm and excited and nervous and overwhelmed in equal measure as he gives his head a little shake. "It's just a lot to get my mind around. But...I always suspected you'd take me on an adventure."

He moves to kiss Levi's cheek. "Of course, I'll go with you to tryouts. I'm so proud of you, Levi. You deserve this. And...I can always look at culinary schools while we're there too. Even if we don't run into Harry Potter."
