Chemistry was one of Thoreau's best classes. It was a lot like cooking. You followed a recipe and paid attention to all the intricate little steps and in the end you got exactly what you wanted from it. Plus, he was pretty good at math too so that never threw him off. The only thing that was a problem now was that he and Pansy had been lab partners since they'd started dating. They'd been having lecture classes up until today and it hadn't mattered, but Snape wasn't the sort of professor who let you switch partners because of a break up.

He sighed as he sat next to Pansy, trying not to think about her screwing his best friend. "Hey," he said. "You're here."

"Right. Fuck. I probably should. If they'd been girls I wouldn't have forgotten the whole protection thing. It's just because I don't have to worry about pregnancy," Thoreau said, running a hand through his hair. "I don't even know how you get tested. Would asking Radley be rude?"

He looked down at Pansy pressed against his side and smiled at her. "We never bickered like you and Theo bicker," he pointed out. "I don't know why it was easy. Because I loved making you happy and I knew how to do that. Because I knew you so well. Because I like being someone's boyfriend and doing things for them."

	"Did you completely skip sex education, Thoreau?" Pansy sighed softly. "You just go to the doctor and get tested. It's not that hard. And they won't tell your parents because it's discreet." "Well, you could still be someone's boyfriend." Pansy pointed out. "You just have to be a boy's boyfriend instead. It won't be difficult to find someone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"As long as Gossip Girl doesn't find out that I'm getting tested. I don't even really care about my parents. I mean, they'd be worried. I'd probably have to talk to them about it, which would suck, but they wouldn't get mad," Thoreau said, looking up as they got to his townhouse. "Speaking of parents."

He smiled at Pansy. "I wouldn't mind being Radley's boyfriend," he said. "We kind of talked about going on a date. I liked Rooney too, but considering he's a supply teacher that might get complicated." He opened the door to his house. "We'll see. Dad? Are you home?"

Rabastan had been fiddling around in the kitchen when he heard his son calling his name. He frowned for a moment, then looked down at his watch, seeing what time it was.

He walked through to the foyer where his son was and smiled at him. "Skipping school?" He asked, then looked at Pansy. "Pansy. It's good to see you."

"You too, Sir." Pansy nodded. "It's been a while. Thoreau and I have been in a bit of a fight and we wanted to-"

"I read Gossip Girl." Rabastan smiled at her and shrugged. "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah," Thoreau said, smiling at his father. "We were hoping you could make us something. We sort of just made up after getting into a fight during Chemistry. Staying for the rest of the day seemed like it would be listening to a lot of whispers. There's probably a post on Gossip Girl about us already."

He took off his coat and then took Pansy's for her, hanging them up. "We're not back together, but I think we're back to being friends." Thoreau glanced at his father. "What are you cooking?"

	"Of course you're not back together." Rabastan shrugged as he looked at his son, walking into the kitchen. "I've known for a while that you and Pansy wouldn't work out, but I was letting you have a go at it yourself." He smiled at his son. "Just some beef stew. An old friend got into contact with me and I was inviting him over for lunch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Thoreau followed his father into the kitchen with Pansy. He felt a little bit nervous, but his dad didn't care that Draco was gay, right? Honestly, he'd probably already figured it out. "Did you know that I was gay too?" he asked. "Because that took me a while and a lot of Pansy yelling at me."

He shifted in front of his father, clamping down on the butterflies that appeared in his stomach as soon as the truth was out. "An old friend?"

	Rabastan looked at his son and nodded. "Yes. I've known since you were about five years old." He admitted and shook his head. "It's not a big deal, Thoreau. Your mother and I love you." He smiled at his son. "An old friend from school. His name is Walden." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thoreau 2013-01-14 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	Thoreau relaxed, smiling at his father and leaning against the counter, wrapping an arm around Pansy's waist. "So we'll get to meet him? Will he tell us embarrassing stories about what you were like when you were a teenager?" There was a knock on the front door. Thoreau grinned. "I hope you don't have enough time to ask him not to tell us your secrets." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	floral 2013-01-14 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	Rabastan laughed at that. "Walden's not really that kind of person. He's kind of a dick." He admitted and shrugged. "The most he'll tell you is that I was weak and a fag." He walked to the door and let Walden in, leading him back to the kitchen. "My son is here with his ex-girlfriend. Kids, this is Walden Macnair." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Macnair? Thoreau's head jerked up and he stared at the man who was really obviously Radley and Rooney's father. They both had his size and his looks. "I -- uh -- hello, Mister Macnair," he said, glancing down at Pansy.

Walden nodded to the teenagers, examining Rabastan's son for a moment. "He looks like you," he told Rabastan. "Bit bigger than you were when you were his age, though."

	"I wasn't that small." Rabastan frowned at Walden and then looked at Thoreau. "Walden was my best friend when I was younger. Even if him and his brother were mean to me every chance they got." Pansy looked up at the man for a moment, then frowned. "You look really familiar. I can't place you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Thoreau cleared his throat. "Macnair," he said. "Do you have a son? We had a history supply teacher named Professor Macnair last week. He was really big too."

Walden raised an eyebrow at that. "That's Rooney," he said. "He's the smart one, but I always liked Radley better. They're twins. I think they'd my own kids." He looked at Rabastan. "Weldon was a bigger dick than I was."

	"Weldon was a bigger dick. And Radley is the nicer twin." Rabastan nodded, looking at his son. "Radley is the one I called for you so you could get the massage. I'm sure it helped." Pansy looked at Thoreau, arching a brow. "It helped him more than you can imagine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Thoreau swatted Pansy's hip lightly. "It did help," he agreed. "I wondered how you knew which masseuse to call so readily. How's the stew coming, Dad?"

Walden shook his head. "I don't understand why Radley does that," he said. "He could have gone into the family business with me or been a professional fighter. I taught them both to box. Instead he rubs naked people for a living. At least if he was a whore he'd get something out of it."

	"Oh. I'm sure he gets plenty out of it." Pansy informed Walden and looked him over. "Anyway, you shouldn't worry about your son. At least he gets to look at naked people and get paid for it." Rabastan laughed softly at that and shook his head. "Radley has a wonderful job. At least he won't be losing brain cells boxing like you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"He would have been great in the ring," Walden said, shaking his head. "He's got the size and the speed. Rooney too, although Rooney was always more interested in reading and other bullshit like that. Of course, he's the one who insists on broadcasting his gayness to the world every chance he gets too. At least Radley fucks girls too."

Thoreau was doing his best not to look like someone who'd been fucked by bother of Walden's sons, once by both at the same time. "All that really matters is that they're happy, right?"

	Rabastan looked at his son for a moment, then laughed. "Walden doesn't care about their happiness. He cares about how they look to the world. It's the same reason that I married your mother." He told him, shrugging. Pansy frowned for a moment. "You being gay runs in your family. How do you feel about that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thoreau 2013-01-14 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Thoreau blinked. He wouldn't have taken it that way, but Pansy was right. "Weird," he said, after a moment. "But I guess I kind of sprung me coming out on him too. Except he knew already." Walden raised an eyebrow. "Your son didn't know you were queer?" He looked down at Rabastan and snorted. "Everyone knew in school. Arielle married you anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	floral 2013-01-14 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Rabastan laughed at that and shrugged. "And yet, know one ever knew that you were dating me." He pointed out and shook his head. "Crazy how those things work, right?" Pansy chewed at her bottom lip. "Maybe we should go out and get something to eat." (Reply to this)(Parent)
