Charlie still felt kind of sore about the Draco ordeal. He'd actually really liked him. And then he'd been left for an abusive ex boyfriend. Someone who had cheated on Draco with his own father and for some reason, that was okay. The other boy could just over look it. How was that an okay thing to go back to?

He ran a hand through his hair and looked up. Draco was there. Draco was in his museum. How was that fair? He frowned to himself and looked back down at his work.

	"No. It's fine. This is my workplace, but it's where you like to be too." Charlie told him with a careless shrug. But, he did care. He just didn't think it would be right to take Draco's happy place away from him either. He bit at his bottom lip. "We're getting the eggs." He told him, holding out the papers.

Draco relaxed a little when Charlie said it was okay. That was good. Draco didn't want to be chased away from the dinosaurs. He smiled, taking the papers from Charlie so he could see the photos of the eggs again.

"That's amazing," he said, looking the papers over. "You're so lucky you get to work with this stuff. When do they get here? I'm glad you got the funding. I kept dropping hints to my mother about making a donation, but I don't think she has yet."

	"They're on loan for now. We can't get them in full yet." Charlie told him, shaking his head, then sighed. "They'll be here in a week. I'm just trying to decide where to put them when they do get here." Charlie looked around the museum. "I... How are you?" He asked, looking away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Right, so obviously things weren't completely okay between them yet, but that probably made sense, right? Draco chewed on his bottom lip for a moment, shrugging. "I'm okay," he said. "I've been working hard on my schoolwork, mostly." He wasn't going to mention Merlin or the fact that he'd moved in with him.

"How are you?" he asked, looking up at Charlie. "You must be happy that the eggs are coming here."

	"I.. Yeah. I'm alright." Charlie nodded as he looked at Draco. He was so pretty, wasn't he? It wasn't really fair that Draco had gone back to his cheating boyfriend. He ran a hand through his hair, then glanced at his watch. "It's actually my lunch time." Charlie admitted. "I should probably do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, right." Draco shouldn't be forcing Charlie into an endless conversation about things he didn't care about when he probably really just felt uncomfortable with the way Draco had treated him before. "I should let you go." He gave Charlie a weak sort of smile. "It was nice seeing you. I've missed you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charlieboy 2013-08-16 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	Charlie didn't want to hear that. That Draco had missed him. If he'd missed him so much and care that much about him, why did he leave? He ran a hand over his hair and cleared his throat. He was giving into himself. "You could come have lunch with me, if you want. I'll buy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco hesitated for a moment, trying to determine if the invitation was genuine or not, but... He did want to have lunch with Charlie. They'd be friends. They'd talk about dinosaurs and things. Maybe Draco could convince Merlin to get to know Charlie too.

"Yeah," he said. "I'd like that. You should let me buy. You're the only reason I know how to make a half-decent meal."

	Charlie looked back at Draco and shook his head. "No. I'll buy. I already offered." He told him, then held onto the papers as he led Draco out of the dinosaur section and out the front doors. He walked over to his car and opened the door for Draco. "Where do you want to eat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco had no idea. He'd kind of been thinking about the museum cafe, but of course Charlie was probably sick of eating there. He got into the car. "I know an Italian place that isn't too far from here," he said, after a moment. "They make their own pasta fresh."

He looked over at Charlie when he got into the car. "The Golden Boot. My friend Thoreau really likes it and he's a foodie."

	"Okay. Yeah. we'll go there." Charlie nodded as he turned on the car, then reached over to turn down his too-loud music. He glanced at Draco as he started to drive, quiet for a moment. "You... Are you happy?" Charlie asked as he glanced at Draco. "With him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco looked up at Charlie. That was kind of a complicated question. Or... the question wasn't complicated, really, but it was hard to think of what the right thing to say was. "It's nice to have him to talk to again," he said. "We were friends for so long."

He ran a hand through his hair. "I think he's trying a lot harder this time. I'm trying harder too. So that's good. We're both working on making it work. He hasn't -- My father left to chase his ex to try and get him back and I kind of... I blame my father now. Merlin was scared, you know? My father took advantage of him. And just... yeah. I think I am."

Charlie looked out at the road as he drove, which was a good excuse. That way he didn't have to look at Draco too much. He chewed at his bottom lip for a moment, then took a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay. That's good." He told him. "As long as you're happy, that's all that really matters in the end." He glanced at him. "Just... Don't forget too easily, okay? I know that it's really easy to forgive someone when you love them for so long."

Draco looked at Charlie for a long moment, then nodded and glancing out the window at the road. "Yeah," he said. "Merlin makes it really easy to forget everything. But I hurt him too. And he's being better now. He doesn't go around making me feel like he thinks he's better than me all the time."

He looked down at his hands. "I won't forgive him completely just yet. He should have to work for it. I know that."

	Charlie nodded and looked Draco over carefully, then parked the car in front of the restaurant. He got out and walked over to the sidewalk, waiting for Draco to follow. "You can order for me." Charlie told him, looking up at the place. "I don't eat at these sorts of places. I usually cook for myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lordlyheir 2013-08-16 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	Draco looked up at Charlie, walking into the restaurant with him. "What kind of pasta do you like best?" he asked. "Pasta with a tomato sauce, or a cream sauce?" He took a seat, feeling kind of like he needed to order himself a drink, even if it was the middle of the day. He and Charlie hadn't even gone out to eat when they were dating.

	Charlie had wanted to take Draco out to dinner, but they hadn't really dated long enough to do that. He chewed at his bottom lip as he took a seat. "I like cream sauce, by the way." Charlie admitted. He wanted a drink too. "Tomato sauce gives me heartburn." (Reply to this)(Parent)
