Draco was lonely. Pansy still wasn't talking to him and Merlin was working all the time. He got that Merlin had to work, but it would be nice if when he didn't he wasn't working Merlin texted him more. Or was at least nicer to him. Draco had already planned out what he was going to make for Merlin for dinner that night and he'd practiced cooking the chicken and vegetables in the oven at home a couple times and he thought he had it down, so maybe this time Merlin wouldn't go on a rant about how useless Draco was and tell him he never lifted a finger.

For now, he was camped out in the dinosaur section of the Natural History Museum because it was always busy and at least if there were lots of tourists walking around while he sat on a bench and stared at an old skeleton he felt less like this was the end of one of the worst summers ever. Draco fiddled with his phone, contemplating texting Pansy or Merlin again for the millionth time, but the long list of unresponded to texts to Pansy kind of put him off, and if he texted Merlin at work Merlin might tell him off for it.

Draco didn't want to break up with Merlin. He and Merlin had been waiting their whole lives to get together. He loved Merlin. "Things were supposed to get better when he finally agreed to date," he said, running a hand through his hair. If Merlin couldn't love him without thinking Draco should change who he was, who was going to?

"My father loves him. He's going to hate me for breaking up with him." Draco looked up at Charlie. "You're probably right. Healthy relationships aren't supposed to make you want to hide in the dinosaur exhibit of the museum until you feel better."

"Just because your father loves him, doesn't mean you're in a good relationship." Charlie touched Draco's hand and smiled. "I don't know you. I don't know your whole situation. I'm just trying to help you out. Figure out where you need to go from here."

He hummed. "I tell you what. If you do break up with your boyfriend and you're feeling lonely, you can call me. We'll go out."

Draco raised an eyebrow at that offer, snorting. "As friends?" he asked. Maybe all this advice was just a really awkward way of asking him out. Although honestly, the idea of hanging out with someone who didn't know all of his and Merlin's history sounded nice. Pansy probably wouldn't be all that sympathetic. If she even talked to him after it.

"Okay," he agreed. "You'll have to give me your number. Do you actually use your phone as a phone still? You're... older."

	"As friends. I'm not asking you on a date." Charlie promised with a laugh. "I just figured, since you said people would be upset with you, you'd need someone. And as you've so graciously pointed out, I'm older." Charlie rolled his eyes. "And I'm not that old. I'm only twenty-four. We still use our phones." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco smiled at that. "All right, you're not an old man," he agreed. "People are definitely going to be upset with me if I break up with Merlin. His uncle is my father's boyfriend. His mother and my mother are best friends. I think as far as they're concerned, I'll be breaking up an engagement."

He ran his hands over his face. But if he wasn't with Merlin, maybe he wouldn't be so miserable. Pansy might talk to him again. Maybe Merlin would try and be better. Try and do something besides tell him how useless he was. "Okay," Draco said. He took his phone out again, unlocking it and offering it to Charlie. "Give me your number and maybe, if I do break up with him, I'll call you for help."

	"You can't think about what other people want." Charlie shook his head. "If I did what my parents wanted, I'd be married to Nymphadora Tonks right now. And I definitely don't want that." Charlie took the phone from Draco and put in his number, then texted himself. "I'll be around any time that you need me. I stay up late." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco nodded, looking down at the number in his phone. He'd sort of made a new friend, maybe. He hadn't done that in a long time. "Thank you," he said, smiling at Charlie. "I'll let you know what happens. If we break up or not."

Draco was much less convinced breaking us was a good idea now that he was in Merlin's flat, cooking him dinner and waiting for him to come home from work. By the time he'd stopped walking around the city worrying about what might happen if they split, it had been too late to cook the chicken he'd been practicing. He'd bought a frozen pizza instead, because it kind of counter, and put together stuff for a salad.

Draco set the table for the two of them sat on the couch, looking a blogs on his phone and waiting for Merlin to come home from work. He was probably just over-reacting. Everyone always said he was dramatic.

	Merlin was exhausted from his day at work, but he wasn't going to complain too much. Lucius was getting him a job that wasn't going to make his life too miserable and things could get back on track. He came into his flat and looked at Draco on the couch. "Hey." He took off his hat and began to undo his shirt. "How was your day?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Draco looked up from his phone. "Hey," he said. "It was.... It was okay. I went to the museum and looked at the dinosaurs for a bit. I made friends with one of the curators, I think. He was nice." He got up from the couch. "Dinner's almost ready. I made a salad and I got one of those frozen pizzas. That counts as cooking, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It sounds good. Pizza is always good." Merlin promised Draco. He walked up to him and wrapped an arm around his waist, pulling him close to his body, breathing him in. He kissed his neck softly. "I missed you so much." Merlin kissed Draco for a long moment. "Thank you for making dinner. Do you want to take a shower with me before we eat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco kissed Merlin back, smiling and relaxing in his arms. This was fine. This was good. Draco was just over-reacting. "I should probably take the pizza out or turn the oven off or something if we're going to be naked together, but yeah, that sounds nice."

He kissed Merlin again, then pulled away, walking to the kitchen and switching the oven off. "How was work?" he asked. "Are you on the register yet?"

	"They've trained me on the register. But, your father is helping me get another job." Merlin told him with a smile. "I'll be selling suits. Can you believe that?" He motioned towards the oven. "Crack it just a bit to let the hot air out, then close it so it just stays warm." Merlin undid his trousers and pulled them off, then took off his undershirt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco raised an eyebrow at Merlin. "Of course my father got you a job selling suits. He's probably hoping to take advantage of your discount. It sounds way better than working in fast food though. You look so good in a suit."

He did as he was told, cracking the oven door for a moment and then closing it again. He took his own shirt off, smiling at Merlin. "I'm glad you're happier. I was starting to go mad from how grumpy you were all the time."

	"Now I can get back to loving you full time. Right?" Merlin asked as he pressed Draco against the counter, then kissed down his neck. He closed his eyes, humming softly against Draco's skin. "Because I do. I love you so much." Merlin bit at his bottom lip. "Come on." (Reply to this)(Parent)
