Thoreau figured what everyone needed, after Blaise coming back and everyone freaking out over it, was a distraction. So he was having a party because he and Theo were friends again and could get all the booze and drugs they needed to throw a really good one. Blaise would probably crash it eventually, but nobody had invited him and Thoreau was pretty sure him appearing in public with his boyfriend and basically coming out to everyone who wasn't one of his close friends was going to be enough of a distraction to keep Blaise from stealing the spot light.

He sat on the couch beside Pansy and Theo, reaching out and touching Pansy's hair automatically, because she'd been his girlfriend for a long time and they were best friends and he was gay now, so it was okay for him to still touch her. "I'm glad you're going to get to meet Radley tonight. Neville and Daphne should be here soon. Is Draco coming?"

"Draco should stay home," Theo said, shaking his head. "All anyone will talk to him about tonight is Blaise, and you know Blaise is going to crash the party."

"It's not really up to me. If he comes here, he'll want to talk to us. Just... I don't know." Draco sighed, taking a sip of his whiskey. "Yeah, I missed you too. I just wish this wasn't all going to go up on Gossip Girl tonight."

"You know, you're not his girlfriend anymore. You don't have to be the hostess at his parties," Theodore pointed out, raising an eyebrow at Pansy. "We can just have fun."

"I like her," Thoreau said, smiling at Radley a little. He could hear more people coming into the house. "We should probably stay with her until he gets here. I'm not really certain who all is going to turn out tonight." He stole another kiss from Radley. "You don't mind that a shady girl from my school is going to report on us being together, do you?"

"You've really got to stop worrying about Gossip Girl." Charlie told him with a heavy sigh. "You let her dictate every single aspect of your life and it's really, really difficult for me to handle."

Pansy frowned at Theodore. "I am having fun. I'm having fun being a hostess. That's what I like to do. I need to perfection, Theodore. And if you don't know that, you don't know me."

"No. Of course I don't. Gossip Girl can go fuck herself." Radley replied, pulling him closer. He looked up when his brother showed up in the doorway and sighed. "She's over there. Make sure you get her some sweets."

"She doesn't need sweets." Rooney rolled his eyes and looked his brother over with Thoreau. "Reau. Good to see you."

Draco had been expecting something like this to happen. People didn't stick around. He'd just enjoy Charlie while he had him. "I know you don't like it," he said. "I don't think you understand what it's like having her looming over you all the time. That's fine. She isn't your problem." He finished his drink. "Do you want to dance or something?"

"I know you," Theodore promised, backing off. "I'll go check on the crisps and make sure everything is filled up. Thoreau will be glad you kept an eye on things." He kissed her softly. "I'll be back."

Thoreau worried about Joey a little now. "You too," he said, nodding. "I fed her a sandwich while she was here. She's a really great kid. You can take some biscuits for her with you when you go, if you want to."

"If she's fucking with you, she is my problem." Charlie told him with a shrug. "It's just bullshit that I want to protect you from. I'm not angry or anything. Not with you. I just wish that you didn't care so much about what she says about you. It should only matter what your friends, mother and I think of you."

Pansy sighed softly, then glanced up when she saw Blaise entering the party. It was early for him to be showing up. She frowned and walked up to him. "You weren't invited. I suggest you leave."

"I won't get to see her again until her Mum needs money for crank again anyway." Rooney shrugged, looking down at Joey as she wrapped her arms around his leg. He patted her head. "Hey Batman."

"Hi Alfred." Joey snuggled against her Dad's leg and then squeaked when he picked her up and made her start flying, giggling madly.

"Maybe you're the only ones who should matter, but you're not the only ones who do matter. The world doesn't always line up with our ideals," Draco said, shaking his head as he poured himself another drink. "I'm more worried about Blaise than Gossip Girl right now anyway."

Blaise raised an eyebrow at Pansy. "I was under the impression that you and Thoreau had broken up," he told her. "Aren't you with Theodore now?" Blaise reached up, playing with the ends of Pansy's hair. "I'm not going to ruin your little party. I'm just here to have fun, like everyone else."

Thoreau had to admit there was something very attractive about Rooney being so good with his kid, even if he didn't get to see her much. He smiled a little, leaning against Radley. "You're good with her," he said. "I have no idea how to act around kids."

"Don't worry about Blaise." Charlie shook his head. "There's nothing that Blaise could say to me to make me feel any different about you. Okay?" He kissed his forehead. "All of what you used to do is in the past. It's not who you are right now."

"I'm not with Thoreau, but he is my best friend and I know who is supposed to be here and who isn't." Pansy informed Blaise, slapping his hand away from her hair. "How much did you have to bribe the doorman to let you in? Or did you blow him?"

"Yeah. You don't have one." Rooney told him with a shrug, holding Joey against his chest once he stopped letting her fly. "It's like a switch flicks on and you know how to take-"

Joey put her hand over Rooney's mouth and shook her head. "Get me juice."

Draco wasn't sure about that anymore, but he nodded, leaning against Charlie. "Let's hang out here for a little bit and say hello to Thoreau and meet his boyfriend and then leave and go get dinner somewhere where everyone's not going to be staring at us. Somewhere where we can just... be normal."

Blaise laughed at that. "Just because I used to fuck Draco doesn't mean I'm gay," he said. "Everyone's fucked Draco. I won't stay long. You know, I always liked Daphne. I don't know why she's wasting her time with Longbottom, but I thought I'd take her off his hands."

Thoreau laughed at that. "I have apple, orange, and cranberry juice," he told Joey. "If you want your dad to get you one of those, they're just in the fridge, except the cranberry. That's at the bar." Right. The party. He looked up at Radley. "Were Pansy and Theo handling the party okay?"

Charlie looked down at Draco for a moment and sighed. "That makes me feel like you're ashamed of me or something." He admitted. "Like you don't want me to be around your friends so Gossip Girl talks about me." It hurt. And Charlie figured he should say something. "Blaise is here."

"Please, Blaise. You've fucked a lot more men than just Draco." Pansy shook her head. "You're not going around Daphne. Ever. I'm calling security to come get you."

Radley watched his brother walk off to get some juice and sighed. "Yeah. The party is fine. If we leave him alone, maybe he'll leave the party."

"That's not..." Draco couldn't get anything right with Charlie. He felt like such an idiot all the time. He looked over his shoulder, at Blaise talking to Pansy. "I'm not ashamed of you. I'm just scared. I'm always scared. Come on." He grabbed Charlie's hand and pulled him over to where Pansy and Blaise were standing. "Let's just get whatever you came to do over with, Blaise."

Blaise looked up at Draco and his boyfriend, raising an eyebrow. "Why does everyone assume my world revolves around you?" he asked. "Your father, Pansy, you. But if you want to talk, fine. Hello, Draco. Draco's disgraced professor boyfriend. You know, I didn't think Draco liked gingers, so I was confused when I saw the papers, but then I looked up your work and realized why he was fucking you. Draco always was a bit of a size queen."

Part of Thoreau wanted to say that leaving Rooney would be rude, but then he remembered everything Joey had said about Radley and Rooney's relationship with each other and Radley crying and he nodded, leaning in and kissing Radley for a long moment. "Good idea. I want to show you off anyway." He took Radley's hand in his. "Let's go have a good time."

Charlie was already upset about the Draco thing. About not feeling wanted. Blaise was just an added irritant than needed to be irradicated. He looked him over for a moment, then punched him hard in his smug little face. "Come on, Draco. Let's get out of here."

Pansy looked down at Blaise and laughed, then at Charlie. "Thank you." She told him as she called security, then walked over to where Theodore was. "I'm calling security to have him removed."

Radley smiled as they entered the main room, just in time to see a boy get punched by Draco's boyfriend. He arched a brow and laughed. "Well. You know how to throw a party."

Draco stared at Charlie when Blaise went down, clutching at his nose, and then pulled Charlie into a deep kiss, not even caring that people were taking pictures of them. "I love you," he said, smiling against Charlie's lips. "That was so hot."

Theodore laughed, wrapping an arm around Pansy and kissing her softly. "I like Draco's boyfriend. We should spend more time with them so Draco doesn't drive him away."

Thoreau snorted. "That is Blaise," he said. "He's not invited to this party. Come on." He walked over to Pansy and Theo. "Did you call building security?" he asked.

Charlie smiled at that, wrapping his arms around Draco's waist, pulling him close. He'd told him he loved him. He kissed him again, running his hand up and down his back, then pulled back. "I love you too."

Pansy laughed at Theodore and rolled her eyes. "Double dates?" She asked. "I'll see what Draco has to say about that, but I'm not sure he'll be down for it." She looked at Thoreau and nodded. "Yes. Of course I did. They're on their way to come get him."

Draco hadn't even really thought about it before the words were leaving his mouth, but now... Well, it was too late to take them back, and actually he didn't really want to. "Let's get out of here," Draco said, arms winding around Charlie's neck. "I don't want security to decide they should question you for breaking his nose or something. We'll go out with Thoreau and his boyfriend to make it up to them someday."

"Good," Thoreau said, grinning and leaning in to kiss Pansy briefly. "Best party I've ever thrown, right? I could watch Blaise get hit in the face for years and never get tired of it."
