"I found these." Tom threw the magazines that he'd found under Merlin's bed onto the table between them and arched a brow. He looked at them with disgust, at the two men clinging to each other on the cover. He looked back at his son. "Do you care to explain yourself?"

Merlin felt sick to his stomach. The magazines weren't even gay porn. They were just... issues of Gay Times he'd borrowed from Rowan. He ran a hand through his hair and looked at them for a moment, then shook his head. "They're magazines that Rowan left in my room. That's all."

"Don't lie to me!" Tom snapped, losing his cool. He looked at his son, his face going red. "Do not fucking lie to me, Merlin. Rowan just stashed gay porn under your bed? You should have known that the maids would find them when they came to clean."

"I-" Merlin looked at his father, his pulse racing, his face full of worry. "I.. I borrowed them. From Rowan and... I was just looking at them. They're magazines for-"

"For faggots." Tom frowned at his son. "I can take your uncle being gay for your mother's sake, but I will not have my own son being a queer. Do you hear me?" He asked, anger clearly surging through him. It scared Merlin more than he cared to admit. Tears filled his eyes.

"I can't... I can't help it." Merlin told him, bursting into tears as he gave his father a desperate look. "I can't help it. I tried, Father. I tried really hard to not be-"

"Get out." Tom shook his head and stood up. "Leave right now while your mother isn't home to stop you. I don't want you here. You can come back when you've stopped being this way." He got up and left the room, feeling angry as he stormed into his office.

Merlin stared down at his hands before he wiped at his eyes and picked up the magazines. He walked up to his room and packed a bag of some of his clothes and what little money he had, then walked to the street. He pulled out his phone and texted Draco.

I have nowhere to go.

	Draco moved closer to Merlin, sighing. "I know this isn't how you wanted it to go. I blame myself for that. You told me this was what was going to happen." He shook his head, resting his hands on his chin. "You don't know that them breaking up is the only option. Your mother might be able to bring your father around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This isn't your fault. It's your your fault I'm- Well, I guess it kind of is." Merlin laughed at that and shook his head. "But, not completely. You just made sure I knew I was." Merlin fell back against the mattress and stared up at the ceiling. "Maybe I can get my own flat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd be okay with you getting your own flat," Draco said, laying back beside Merlin on his side. He smirked at him. "I'd be able to come stay with you and we could keep each other company." He rolled onto his stomach, resting his chin on Merlin's chest. "I pushed you to come out to him too, because I felt insecure. Now I wish I'd kept my mouth shut." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I honestly don't know why you felt so insecure. I told you I loved you." Merlin pointed out. "Which should have been enough of a big deal. Considering how much I hate people." He ran his fingers through Draco's hair. "It's just not as easy to be gay for other people. You have gay parents." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, but you've always liked me more than everyone else anyway," Draco said, shrugging. "You being out means that when Thoreau flirts with you, I can tell him to stop flirting with my boyfriend." He leaned into Merlin's petting, making a soft sound. "I know I'm lucky. I'm going to help you though. My parents won't let you slip." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do I have to come out to everyone all at once?" Merlin asked, giving Draco a terrified look. Sure, some of them wouldn't care, but some of them would. And that worried him. He bit at his bottom lip. "I know they won't." Merlin sighed softly and rubbed at his eyes. He felt so stressed out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco shook his head, although part of him wanted to tell Merlin that, yes, he had to come out to everyone. "Of course not," he said, kissing Merlin's temple. "You just had this huge thing with your father. You can take your time."

He kissed Merlin's neck and then reached up to play with his hair. "Can I do anything for you?" Draco asked. "Get you food? Help you... relax?"

	Merlin arched a brow at Draco for a moment. Was he really suggesting that? He was suggesting sex after the day that Merlin had had? He wasn't even sure he wanted to be gay anymore. "Are you trying to shag me, Draco?" He asked with a laugh. "Do you have no shame?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lordlyheir 2013-04-23 08:12 am UTC (link)
	"None," Draco said, looking up at Merlin and quirking an eyebrow. "But I didn't necessarily mean shagging. I mean, I could just go down on you or jerk you off and I'm sure you'd be very relaxed by it." He ruffled Merlin's hair. "If you're going to suffer because you're gay, you might as well have fun because of it too. Otherwise, what's the point?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Merlin laughed at Draco, rolling his eyes. "You just want to touch me like you always do. I'm onto your ways, Malfoy. You don't fool me one bit." He leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips, running his hand down to the front of Draco's trousers. "Did you miss me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco smiled, pushing against Merlin's hand and wrapping an arm around him. "I missed you a lot," he promised, shifting closer to the other boy. "I always miss you when you're not this close to me."

Lucius had heard about what happened from Evan. And he was angry. He'd never liked Tom very much and this just seemed like all his suspicions were being proven right far too late for it to do anyone any good at all. He opened the door to Draco's bedroom and raised an eyebrow at the sight of the boys tangled up together on the bed, clearing his throat pointedly. "Boys, is now really the appropriate time for that?"

	Merlin pulled away from Draco quickly and looked up at his father. He felt like he'd been caught and was going to get into trouble all over again. Even if the other man was gay. "I was just..." He felt like crying as he looked at Draco's father. (Reply to this)(Parent)
