Draco wasn't looking forward to this. He hadn't called ahead or answered any calls or texts from Merlin or given him any indication that he still knew the other boy was alive. Pansy had covered for him with his mother and he'd been sleeping on the cot in Romy's room, as planned. Except for the drunken detour to Museum Charlie's flat. But it was the day before the start of school and he needed to do this before they were thrust into college together.

He took a deep breath, knocking on Merlin's door. He'd rehearsed a big speech in his head over and over on the way here. He was going to be good about this. Calm and righteous and he wouldn't cry or yell and he'd leave Merlin feeling sorry that he'd fucked everything up. Draco had it all planned out, and then his father opened the door. They blinked at each other in surprise for a moment. Draco could feel his resolve crumbling and his speech leaving his head. "I -- I want to see Merlin."

Lucius felt awkward, looking down at his son. He had to know about him and Evan splitting by now. "Of course," he said. "I've been --" He cleared his throat. "I was just stepping out for a moment. Merlin!" Lucius looked over his shoulder as he slipped his feet into a pair of shoes. "Draco's here to see you!"

	"You could do it. I could see you wearing some." Charlie smiled at Draco, then looked him over critically. "Yes. You look good. I promise." He pulled out his phone and texted his brother to meet him at the club. "My brother Bill was supposed to come over. I'm having him meet us at the club. Do you want to invite anyone?"

"I'd look like an escort in leather trousers," Draco said, shaking his head. "Maybe an expensive one, but definitely someone who was for sale. You just look..." He waved a hand in Charlie's general vicinity. "Hot."

Was Charlie's brother also gay? Draco hoped Charlie's brother was at least also very good looking. Genetics said he probably would be. "I should tell Pansy I actually broke up with Merlin," he said, after thinking about it for a moment. "She'll be happy." He pulled his phone out, texting Pansy to see if she wanted to come to the club. It would at least help clear up the confusion surrounding Museum Charlie's existence.

***

Draco and Charlie were waiting outside the club for Pansy and Charlie's brother to show up. Draco felt a bit anxious about this now. The cab ride over had given him time to think about the fact that Charlie had had plans with his brother that he'd rescheduled to suit Draco's break-up needs. He was just... really nice. Which was kind of weird. "Is your brother older or younger than you?" he asked, glancing at Charlie.

"Older," Bill said, slinging an arm around Charlie's shoulder. He grinned at him for a moment, then looked down at the kid he was standing around with. He was a bit young, but definitely Charlie's type. Bill held out his hand. "Older by a year. Bill Weasley. Nice to meet you, mate. Charlie didn't tell me he had a boyfriend."

	"I don't have a boyfriend. This is Draco Malfoy." Charlie explained to his brother. "We're just friends. He came over because he broke up with a cheating bastard boyfriend and I'm taking him and his friend... Pansy?" "Yes. Pansy." Pansy looked between the three men, her eyes moving over Bill critically. "I'm Pansy Parkinson." She held out her hand to Bill. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Malfoy and Parkinson. Bill shook Pansy's hand, trying to work out if Charlie was aware that his new friends were both incredibly wealthy. "Nice to meet you," he said. "Charlie-boy, where are you meeting teenagers?"

Draco snorted at that. "He's not doing anything untoward," he said. "I spent an hour and a half in the dinosaur exhibit at the Natural History Museum and he came over to talk to me." He reached out and linked Pansy's hand with his. "I think my father moved in with Merlin."

	Charlie gave his brother a grumpy look. "He was upset, alright? I'm not doing anything with him. I'm just... spending time with him. Trying to make him feel better about his shit situation." Pansy arched a brow at Draco's confession. "Are you serious?" She asked, then shook her head. "This is... I told you he was no good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Bill shrugged. "I believe you," he said. "You're a good bloke and I know that. You probably haven`t even realized that his family is worth billions. It's just that he's your type so I wouldn't blame you if you did more than just hang out. Anyway." He clapped Charlie on the shoulder. "Shall we go into this gay bar and get pissed to help your protege?"

Draco didn`t really feel like the I told you so was necessary, but he still owed her for letting Merlin be rude to her. "You were right," he said. "I just... really need someone to buy me a drink right now. Some random hot boy who can help re-build my confidence. I'll have to see him at school tomorrow. I'm really not looking forward to it."

	Charlie laughed at that and rolled his eyes. "You're just looking for a label for him, aren't you? I don't think I really took into account that he was rich. Or even knew that he was, honestly." "What about him?" Pansy asked as she looked at Charlie. "I'm sure he'd buy you a drink and kiss you all night long if you played your cards correctly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes I am," Bill said firmly, nodding in agreement. "I'm trying to discover the exact nature of your relationship with him. Since he's exactly your type and gay and apparently into dinosaurs. It is nice of you not to take advantage of his breakup though."

Draco looked at Charlie in his leather trousers again. "I'm not sure he would," he said. "He's offered to buy my first drink, but he's also said he won't do anything else. He's... nice." Which was still a novelty. "I was drunk and laying in his lap and making him pet me and all he did was put me to bed in his guest room the other night. If I'm going to have a rebound with someone, it should probably be with someone who doesn't matter. Right? I like Museum Charlie. He knows about dinosaurs."

Charlie looked at his brother and shook his head. "I'm not sure how I feel about being someone's rebound. Considering I haven't really had a rebound myself from my last boyfriend. You know? I don't want him to end up not liking me because we've shagged."

"You call him Museum Charlie?" Pansy stared at Draco, blinking a few times before she shook her head. She walked up to Bill. "What was your last name?"

	"I guess I get that," Bill said, nodding. "But --" He was cut off by Draco's friend coming up to him. Bill blinked down at her for a moment. "Weasley," he said. "Bill and Charlie." What was wrong with calling him Museum Charlie? Draco sighed, following Pansy over to where Charlie and his brother had been talking. "We should go in," he said. "I need alcohol."

Charlie laughed at that and wrapped an arm around Draco's shoulders, leading him into the club. "As promised. The first drink is on me." He told him, leading him over to the bar. He ordered himself a beer, but he would limit it. He had to drive him home, after all. "What do you want?"

Pansy watched Draco and Charlie walk ahead, then looked at Bill. "You run the Egyptian exhibit. William Weasley, History Professor and archaeologist, if I'm not mistaken? I took your summer seminar last year."

"Whiskey," Draco said, leaning against the bar and smiling at Charlie. Yes, he was hot and buying Draco a drink, but that didn't mean Draco needed to try and do anything about it. Especially not when he was liable to make a mess of anything remotely romantic he touched from now until whenever the Merlin situation stopped feeling so awful. "Which I'm not going to drink fast because I want to get drunk, but I want the ability to dance with random men first."

Bill blinked down at Pansy in surprise for a moment. "I do," he agreed. "I mean, that's me. You took my class? Now I feel old." He patted Pansy's arm. "Did you like it? You must have big plans for university if you're already taking courses."

Charlie smiled and ordered Draco a drink, taking a sip of his own beer. "Don't dance with too many random men tonight. And definitely don't go to the back room with anyone. I don't want to have to be your guardian angel, keeping watch over you and pulling you away from nasty old pervs."

"It looks good on my uni applications for when I actually start attending. I'm only sixteen. I still have a year." Pansy informed him, shrugging. "We're at a gay bar. Are you gay?"

Draco snorted at that, accepting his whiskey when they bartender brought it over. "I'm not planning on letting old pervs take me anywhere," he promised, looking out at the dance floor and then back at Charlie. "You can have fun too. I'm wounded, but not completely helpless. I got angry today. I think that's a good sign. I've never punched anyone before."

Well, sixteen made Bill feel like a pervert for checking her out. He shook his head. "No, I'm straight," he said. "It's just a gay bar." Bill led her into the building. "I'm straight and secure enough in my sexuality that I really don't care. You want a drink?"

"Sometimes you've got to get angry." Charlie nodded, looking Draco over. "I'm sure that I'll find a way to have fun tonight. I'm not tame or anything. If I see someone I fancy, I'll make sure to go up to them and dance."

Pansy glanced at the bar for a moment and shrugged. "I don't really drink much. Maybe just a soda or something." She told him, sitting at the bar. "I can't get drunk when Draco is having a bad day."

Draco nodded, taking another sip of his whiskey. "I didn't really think you were tame. You're wearing leather trousers." The leather was a bit distracting, honestly. Draco was surprised someone hadn't come up to hit on Charlie yet. The bar was pretty full and he was very attractive.

Bill ordered a beer for himself and a drink for Pansy. "Do you know how long Draco and Charlie have been friends?" he asked her. "Charlie was telling me he wasn't going to try anything with him, but he's kind of Charlie's type. Slim and blond. Is he bossy? Charlie finds bossy adorable."

Charlie laughed at that and shrugged. "I'm a bit into rock music and stuff like that. David Bowie. Stooges. Stuff like that." He explained. "All my idols are into this look. And it gets me some stares."

Pansy arched a brow at that. "Couldn't be very long. I'd say a couple of weeks or so. Since he and Merlin have had problems." She told him, then snorted. "I don't know anyone more bossy than Draco. He has to have everything his way or no way."

Draco knew who David Bowie was, but he had no ides about the Stooges. He'd have to look it up if he remembered in the morning. "They're good stares," he pointed out, looking around the club. "Appreciative stares." Which was of course the cue for someone to walk over and attempt hitting on Charlie.

Zach had been eying the ginger in his leather trousers for a while now, trying to determine if the blond he was with was his boyfriend, but there hadn't been nearly enough touching so he figured he was safe. He walked over, grinning at him. "Hey," he said. "Can I buy you another beer?"

Bill hummed at that, then shrugged. "Well, I hope they're both suitably careful about it. Charlie's a few weeks out of a relationship of his own and he hasn't really done the rebound thing yet either. But maybe that's why they like each other." He took a sip of his beer when it arrived, handing Pansy her soda. "Are you interesting in archeology and Egyptology, or were you just taking the class for the credit?"

Charlie looked up at Zach, a blond boy in clothes that were even tighter than most of the other boys in the club. Which was saying something. But, they looked kind of nice on him. He smiled. "I'm not drinking much tonight, but you can offer me a dance instead."

Pansy shook her head. "Merlin, Draco's boyfriend, cheated on him with Draco's father. It's a whole big mess. I don't like Merlin anyway." She explained, eyeing Bill. "I wasn't interested in it until I took your class."
