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.

	"Yeah. I can have a drink." Charlie nodded as he took a look around the restaurant. He kind of just wanted to kiss Draco. Kiss him and remind him of how good they'd been together, but he couldn't do that. Draco would hate him. "I've been-" Charlie thought about it. "I'm fine, I suppose. My friend Nymphadora asked if I'd lend her my sperm for a child." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco looked up at Charlie, surprised. "You're having a baby?" That was... big. "I mean... I guess you haven't actually told me if you said yes or not. Are you lending her your stuff to make a baby?"

He ran a hand through his hair. "I'm supposed to have a child. I'm supposed to be an heir and have these responsibilities to my family, but I don't know how I feel about all that stuff now that my father's... done the things he's done. It might be nice though. Having a little me."

	Charlie shrugged. "I don't know. She's going to name him Edward, which is her father's name and my middle name." He admitted. "She wants to call him Teddy. Cute enough." He ran a hand over his hair. "Well. I'm sure your friend Pansy would be willing to have a child for you. She loves you a lot, you know. She came to the museum a few days ago." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Edward is a good name," Draco said, smiling at Charlie a bit. "You'd be a good father, if she wanted you to be part of his life. You're a really caring person, you know?" He frowned a bit. "Pansy came to the museum?" Without him? Draco was a bit worried about that. "Did you two talk?" They must have. How else would Charlie know Pansy was there? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'd just be Charlie to him. I'd be in his life. Probably his godfather or something." Charlie admitted as he looked back at Draco. "And she's a lesbian. So, I wouldn't have to worry about an arse of a father for him."

Charlie thought about Pansy and nodded. "Yeah. We had a chat. She told me she was concerned about you and wished that I hadn't lost to Merlin. That I was good for you."

God, Pansy. Why did she have to make things more complicated than they already are? "Merlin and Pansy kind of hate each other," Draco said. "If Merlin cheats on me again or anything, I wouldn't stick around. I have enough self-esteem to walk away."

He ran a hand through his hair. "You were good for me though. I'm really sorry things ended the way they did. I liked us being together."

	Charlie shrugged at that and looked down at the table cloth. "It's fine. You weren't happy enough with me or you would have stayed around. That's how that works, yeah?" He chewed at his bottom lip. "I think I won't date for a while. Never turns out very well for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, it -- I was happy," Draco said, shaking his head. "I was really happy with you, Charlie. We were really good together. I just hated the way Merlin was around me. He kept crying and saying he was sorry." He reached for his glass of wine when it was delivered, taking a big gulp from the glass. "You deserve to find someone and be happy with them, Charlie."

	"I don't really want to hear about how happy you were when you were with me." Charlie admitted, looking at Draco. "Anyone who is dumped by someone doesn't want to hear how great they were. They want to hear why they weren't great enough." He shrugged and sighed, taking a sip of his wine. "What I deserve and what I get are two very separate things, Draco."

Draco felt terrible. He shouldn't have agreed to come to lunch thinking everything was going to be fine and he'd be able to be friends with Charlie. Of course they weren't able to be friends. That wasn't how life worked.

"The only thing you did wrong was choose me," Draco told him. He drained the rest of his wine glass. "Someone who decided it was a good idea to go back to the ex-boyfriend who fucked around with his father."

	Charlie shook his head. "It's not like you're a bad person for choosing to be with someone you love, Draco. That's not what I was trying to say. I'm glad that you're happy with him. You deserve to be happy." He reached across the table and touched his hand. "I really liked you. I'm still bitter about it. That's all. I'm sorry that I made you feel bad."

Draco looked back up at Charlie when he touched his hand, feeling... maybe a bit better about everything. "It's okay," he said. "You've got a right to make me feel bad. You've got a right to feel bitter. I moved in with you and then moved out on you so quickly."

He ran a hand through his hair. "In the long run, I might like you making me feel bad. It'll make me feel like I paid for treating you poorly."

	Charlie laughed a bit. "No, Draco. I don't do that. I don't like making people feel bad, no matter how bad they made me feel. It's not a big deal, okay?" He looked up at him. "You didn't like me as much as you like Merlin. I can learn to deal with that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco wished Charlie made people feel bad. It would make this whole ordeal a lot easier. But he nodded in agreement. "Okay," he said. "You don't make people feel bad. I'll try not to feel too ashamed of myself."

He looked up at the waited when their food arrived, picking up his fork so he could hide his shame in the pasta. "I am sorry though. That I hurt you. Do you think eventually we could be friends?"

	Charlie looked back at Draco for a moment. Friends. Draco wanted to be friends. He wasn't sure how long it would be until he was comfortable with that. "Yeah." Charlie finally agreed. "We can be friends. Just.. I can't do it right now. Give me time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lordlyheir 2013-08-17 04:04 am UTC (link)
	Time. Draco nodded, prodding his noodles with a fork. "I can do time," he promised. "I can give you all the time you need." He looked up at Charlie and smiled a little. "After lunch, I can start on giving you the time you need. Sorry I'm imposing right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)
