Draco wasn't used to being out of the hospital yet. He still woke up early and slept lightly, as if some nurse or orderly was going to open his door and shine a light in, loudly whispering that they were doing checks. He'd gone outside every day so far, even though it was a bit cold and wet outside, just because he could. And also because Pansy was really loud when Luka was over and Draco really didn't need to sit around and listen to it.

Now, though, he was dressed in some of the old, nice clothes that his mother had brought him, sitting in a restaurant and playing with his fork while he waited for Tom and his son to show up. He couldn't see this being anything but awkward, and he really wasn't used to being in fancy restaurants anymore, but it was nice to get away from Luka and Pansy and their canoodling.

	Merlin shrugged and sat down on one of the chairs, flipping on the television. "This is the telly. That's the kitchen." He pointed at the kitchen and smiled at Draco. "I can show you the rest later." He pressed a button and a well dressed, handsome man came out with a bottle of wine. "Red wine okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I -- yes, it's fine," Draco said, eying the man who'd appeared with the wine as he took a seat in the chair next to Merlin's. "You really did make sure everything was included in the flat, didn't you?" He shook his head. "I've lived in the country most of my life, in the manor, but I could get used to living in London full time if this is what it's like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is what it's like." Merlin nodded as he received his wine. He took a sip and settled back against his chair. He smiled at Draco for a moment, then flipped the channel on the television. "What do you like to watch?" He asked him, then held out the large remote to Draco. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco took a sip of his own -- very good -- wine, and took the remote from Merlin. "I have no idea anymore," he said, laughing. "We didn't have television in the hospital."

He flipped through a few of the channels until he found something that looks interesting. "It's amazing how much of a bubble it becomes. We had movie nights, sometimes, but if anyone acted up they got cancelled, and we had someone on our floor who would always act up, just to spite everyone else."

	"That sounds absolutely horrible." Merlin informed him with a shake of his head. "I'm a telly junkie. I watch everything. Some things I'd never admit to watching. I see a lot of films as well." Merlin tapped his fingers again and glanced at Draco. "I'm kind of getting tipsy. I think I should stop drinking or I'll try to ravage you. Nasty habit of mine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco gave Merlin a surprised look when he announced he'd try to ravage him if he had any more to drink, laughing and almost choking on his own mouthful of wine. He pushed down the thought that he probably wouldn't mind being ravaged by Merlin. Sleeping with his lover's son was not something that would go over well with the hospital. Probably.

"I -- I used to have a habit similar to that, but they made me lose it," he said. He wasn't really sure what to say. "The fact that I used to date your father -- might still be... something with him -- doesn't put you off?"

"No. That doesn't put me off at all." Merlin admitted as he looked at Draco. "Sure, you're a little pale and have dark circles under your eyes from being locked up, but there's nothing wrong with that. You're still a very handsome young man who deserves a lot more than my father."

He took one last sip and put his glass down. He tapped his fingers twice. "Right. Well, this show is interesting."

Draco studied Merlin for a moment, then took a long sip from his own glass of wine and looked at the television again. "I'm not sure I even remember what it's about anymore. I got distracted."

He ran a hand through his hair, thinking about what Merlin had said, and then frowned. "Do I really have dark circles? I blame Pansy for that. She needs to sleep so I can too."

	"Kind of. Not nothing a little sleep and a good diet will help with." Merlin told Draco. Her reached over and touched his cheek, smiling warmly before he let his hand drop. "I think I'm going to have to feed you. All the time. It's my main goal in life now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Draco laughed, glancing down into his wineglass. "You're going to end up as disappointed in my eating habits as our chef was. It'll be nice to eat real food again, though. Pansy is taking cooking classes as part of her eating disorder therapy, but she's terrible so far. I'll let you feed me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Merlin laughed at that and nodded. "You'll have to invite me to dinner sometime." He told him, then leaned back in his chair to look at the television again. He cleared his throat. "You could take a nap, if you want. I have a spare room." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco looked at Merlin for a moment, contemplating the wisdom of taking a nap in a strange house with someone he'd just met today, but he really wasn't used to actually sleeping through the night yet. Plus, he'd had most of a glass of red wine and a couple glasses of champagne. That was enough to make anyone sleepy. "If you don't mind," he said. "Right now, I can't promise I won't fall asleep during the show."

	"We don't have to go to a show. You can sleep in a house where there will be no shagging to wake you up." Merlin promised him. He stood up and held his hand out to Draco. "Come. I'll show you were you can sleep." He told him. "Unless you want to sit in the hot tub first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lordlyheir 2012-11-15 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	Draco took Merlin's hand, getting to his feet. "You have a hot tub too?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at the other boy. "Your flat is perfect. I'm not convinced this isn't all some dream I'll wake up from." He looked around the place, shaking his head. "You even hired a pretty servant." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's not my type. I specifically hired him because he's not my type." Merlin pointed out. "Pretty, yes. But, far too muscular for my tastes." He led Draco down the hall and to the room he'd be sleeping in. "Here we are." He smiled. "Do you like it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Merlin's spare room was perfectly decorated because of course it was. Draco had to stop being surprised by all the things Merlin had. "Yes, of course," he said. "It's as beautiful as every other part of your flat I've seen."

He turned to look at Merlin, smiling. "I'm not sure I believe in types anymore. I used to only date men who were much older than me. Now I'm not sure that's what I want to do anymore."

	Merlin saw that as his opening. He looked at Draco for a moment, then took a step forward, placing a hand on his back. He leaned in and kissed Draco's cheek softly. "Well... If you ever want help with that." He told him with a soft smile, staying close. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It was good to know that a year in a mental hospital hadn't completely destroyed his looks. And yes, okay, flirting with the son of the lover that had caused his mental breakdown was probably not the best choice, but it was a fun one. Plus, two glasses of champagne and the red wine.

Draco smiled back at Merlin, resting a hand on his hip. "I could use a little help," he said. "Since you're offering."

	Merlin looked back at Draco for a moment, then leaned in and kissed him softly. "We don't have to tell anyone either. I don't want you to be put back in that place. I kind of like you, Malfoy." He ran his hands up Draco's back, then kissed softly down his neck, fingers running through Draco's hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco had no desire to go back either. He nodded, brushing his hand up Merlin's side. "I think keeping it to ourselves is a brilliant idea," he said. Life would be easier if Tom didn't know Draco had sex with his son.

He made a soft sound when Merlin kissed his neck, sliding his arms around the other boy. He turned his head, catching Merlin's lips in another, long kiss. "I kind of like you too."

	"That's very good." Merlin told him as he led Draco back to the bed and pushed him gently onto the silk blankets. He looked down at him, then pulled off Draco's shirt and kissed at his collarbone. His mouth moved up to kiss Draco softly as he ran his hands over the other boy's chest, then up to mess in his hair. "You are so sexy." (Reply to this)(Parent)
