Romy had felt really guilty since Walden had come back from Spain. She'd missed hanging out with just Dudley, but she knew she couldn't just hang around the flat all day. And she kind of missed her friends, if she was being honest. So much had gone on and she'd not been around them for a while. So, she'd sat up a lunch date after reading through all her texts from Pansy.

She smiled as she took a seat at the table with Draco, kissing his cheek. "I have missed you. I want to know every thing that's gone on in your life." She told him, slipping her hand into his.

	"You won't excuse it anymore. That's what you have to do." Pansy told him with a soft sigh. She kissed his forehead and looked him over carefully. "We're going to get you through this. Find you a lovely boy to be friends with." Romy slid up the bed to pet at Draco too. "Should we call some more people to hang out with? Get your mind off things?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco looked at Romy. More people to hang out with? "I don't want other people to know," he said, shaking his head. "You can't tell anyone what we saw. Maybe I'll break up with Merlin, but just... don't tell anyone he was with my father. It's humiliating."

He sighed and took another, long pull from the vodka bottle before handing it off to Pansy. "How am I supposed to stop thinking about Merlin cheating on me with my father? Merlin choosing to spend one of his days off with my father over me." Draco squeezed his eyes shut as his self-control snapped and he started to cry, reaching up and covering his face with his hands. "If my best friend doesn't love me, who will? I'm selfish and shallow and as fucking useless as Merlin and my father both think I am. I'm not even going to be Merlin's little fucking gay housewife anymore."

	"I love you. And Romy loves you." Pansy told him, playing with his hair. She kissed him softly and shook her head. "There are a lot of men who would want you. The fact that Merlin had made you feel like this just shows that he doesn't deserve you." Romy nodded along with Pansy. "It's true, Draco. He doesn't deserve you at all. You're too good for him."

It all just sort of felt like empty platitudes to Draco, but he knew that Pansy and Romy were trying and he appreciated that. He rubbed at his eyes. "Distract me," he ordered, shaking his head. "Tell me about your boyfriends and let's pretend that Merlin doesn't exist for a while. And pass me the chocolates."

***

Draco's stomach sort of ached from eating pretty much a full box of chocolate and chasing it with whiskey and vodka. Pansy and Romy were both asleep on Romy's bed and he was up and drunk and staring at the picture of his father and Merlin again because Pansy and Romy couldn't stop him when they were asleep so there.

He did still want to talk about it though, and it wasn't like he could tell any of his parents and his other best friend was Merlin. So he was out. Draco looked down at his phone for a long moment. It was two in the morning, but Museum Charlie said he stayed up late and... well... Whatever. He was drunk anyway. Draco found the number in his phone and hit dial, moving out of Romy's room, into the dark hallway, and sliding down onto the floor.

	Charlie had not expected his phone to ring, but he wasn't doing much. He was on his way home from having a drink with his brother, but also wasn't too drunk. He looked at the name and was a bit surprised. He hadn't thought Draco would ever call. "Hello?" Charlie smiled to himself a bit. "What's up? You alright?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco blinked at the wall opposite him for a moment. He hadn't really expected Charlie to answer, but apparently he really did stay up late. "No," he said. "My boyfriend is fucking my father and I'm kind of drunk and I ate too much chocolate."

He ran a hand through his hair. "I have a picture of them kissing on my phone and I couldn't stop looking at it and my friends are both asleep so I thought I'd call you because... I don't know. I wanted to and I'm drunk and everything feels horrible. I feel horrible."

	That was a lot to process. Charlie took a moment, then stopped walking and instead, leaned against a wall of a building. He wasn't sure how to answer this. How to talk to Draco in this situation, but he wanted to help. "Okay. You have a right to feel horrible." Charlie told him. "Do you want me to come over? Do you want to come over to my place?"

Draco paused for a moment. Both inviting a stranger into Romy's flat and going over to a strangers flat seemed like a bad idea. Inviting Charlie to Romy's flat was probably safer. She had her massive father and brothers. But then also at some point he would have to introduce Charlie to people which would be a little weird and he maybe didn't want Pansy and Romy to know that he'd been sulking in the dinosaur section of the Natural History Museum for a good portion of the summer because inside he was still five and just wanted to be a T-rex when he grew up.

"I don't know how to explain you," he told Charlie. "I'll come to your place. I'll take a cab. Please don't murder me." Draco opened the door to Romy's room again, crawling around and finding a piece of paper so he could write her and Pansy a note. He picked up a pen, scrawling I went to see Museum Charlie on it and then found his shoes, feeling satisfied that he'd explained the situation well. "Where do you live?"

	Charlie laughed at that. "I'm not going to kill you. I wouldn't want to make your day even worse. Hold on." He texted Draco the address to his house and then put it to his ear again. "There's my address." He told him. "I'll wait outside for you. I'm almost at my flat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco showed up at the address Charlie gave him, grateful to see Charlie was actually outside the building and hadn't just been blowing him off. He paid the driver and got out of the cab, a bit unsteady on his feet.

"Hi," he said, looking at Charlie for a moment. "I don't know why I'm here." It felt a little bit awkward now. He was sobering up. "I think I need to drink some more."

	"I've got some stuff upstairs. I won't be drinking." Charlie told him with a warm smile. "I'll have to be sober to make sure you don't trip over yourself and die or something." He reached out and wrapped Draco's arm around his shoulders, helping him up the stairs to his flat. He pushed open the door and stepped inside. "What do you want to drink?"

"Whiskey," Draco said, looking around Charlie's flat and then finding the couch and collapsing onto it. "I don't need ice or anything. Just booze. Vodka, I guess, if you don't have whiskey."

He looked up at Charlie. "My father drinks scotch and it's awful and he bought Merlin a bottle when he gave him his old flat to live in and they've been having all sorts of private meetings to talk about things. And Merlin and I were in the shower and my father walked into the bathroom like it was nothing and I should have seen or suspected or something and I didn't." He got his phone out, finding the picture of Merlin and his father kissing and holding it out so Charlie could see. "Pansy and Romy don't get it. Their boyfriends are nice to them."

	"You definitely don't need that photo on your phone to keep looking at." Charlie told him, shaking his head. "You should delete it. You're only going to drive yourself mental staring at it." Charlie brought the drinks over and put them on the table in front of him. "I know it feels really awful right now. You love him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Pansy told me to take it and not make a scene in the restaurant," Draco said, looking at the photo again. "I didn't know what to do so I just did what she told me to." He put his phone face down on the table and took one of the drinks.

"I love him," he agreed. "And it sucks." Draco drained the glass in his hand and put it back on the table. "I feel like if... I don't know. I always thought Merlin and I would get together and then that would be it. I'd be with him for the rest of my life. And now I'm not going to do that because I can't not break up with him. It hurts so bad, but maybe if Pansy and Romy hadn't seen too... maybe it would have been okay and I could have ignored it."

"You should never have to ignore your boyfriend sleeping with someone else." Charlie told him quietly, shaking his head. "That's just... No. You can't ignore something like that. Ever."

He leaned back on the couch and looked at the boy. "Maybe after a while, if you still love him and you still want to be with him, the two of you will find a way back to each other."

"Maybe," Draco said, picking up the other drink, sipping from the glass this time. "If Merlin doesn't find someone better first."

He made a face. "I just want to forget about him for a while. Just... I don't know." Draco looked at Charlie. "Tell me about dinosaurs. I bet dinosaurs never had this problem. If I'd grown up into a T-rex like I wanted to then I could just eat everyone and I wouldn't have to worry about this."

	"Well. Your name is Draco. That means dragon. You could have been a dragon." Charlie told him with a grin, then shook his head. "And dinosaurs, like most other animals, don't have just one mate. They mated with several others." He took a sip of the soda he'd poured himself. "You're a very attractive boy, Draco. Anyone would want you in a heartbeat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, I don't want to be a fucking penguin or pigeon or something," Draco said, wrinkling his nose at the thought. "I guess I might as well want to be a dragon. It won't make any difference."

He looked at Charlie, taking another sip from his drink. "Plenty of men will want to fuck me," Draco agreed. "I'll probably shag a million blokes to try and get Merlin out of my system. But then I have to find someone who wants to stay and that's hard and scary."

	"I don't think you need to do that. That would be really bad for you." Charlie shook his head, looking him over. "When I broke up with Dora and finally accepted being gay, I was like that. I slept with twenty boys and then realised the mistake I was making." He smiled. "Maybe you should focus on yourself. Date a little, but not shag every bloke in town."

"Focus on myself." Draco wrinkled his nose, but honestly it sounded like the kind of advice his mother would give him so he should probably listen to it. He looked up at Charlie. "School starts again in a couple of days. That will probably help, although Merlin and I go to the same college, which won't."

He shifted so his head was in Charlie's lap, taking Charlie's hand and putting it on top of his head. "Pet me," he demanded. "Maybe I should get a job. That would show Merlin. He thinks I'm lazy."

	"Is it too late to go to a different college?" Charlie asked him, snorting as he looked down at Draco. He wanted to be pet like a cat. He supposed he could do that. He reached out and began to pet at his long locks, humming softly. "I doubt you're lazy." Charlie ran his fingers through his hair. "You have really nice hair." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Romy, Pansy, and Thoreau are all going to the same college as me too," Draco said, closing his eyes and making a happy sound when Charlie started to pet him. So maybe he was like a cat. So what? "Besides, I'd have to ask my father and I don't really want to talk to him right now. My mum would just ask why and then she'd probably tell me I couldn't run away from my problems and try and get me and Merlin back together because she reads all these romance novels and I don't want to tell her Father slept with him."

He preened a bit when Charlie complimented his hair. "I do," he agreed. "I don't have to dye it or anything." Draco glanced up at Charlie. "I'm a bit lazy," he admitted. He felt he should be honest, since Charlie was petting at him and complimenting him. "But I get good grades and I have my own ambitions and my father doesn't pay any attention to that. I don't think Merlin knows. I think Merlin thinks I want to shop and throw parties like my mum, but Mum also wins prizes for her roses, you know? She and Thor are happy."

	"It all sounds very complicated. I'm glad my life wasn't this complicated when I was your age." Charlie grinned down at him. "I say avoid Merlin at all costs. But, you should probably break up with him. That's the first step." "Well. What is it that you want to do?" Charlie asked, looking down at the boy. "What do you want to do with your life?"
