Draco was kind of disappointed that Merlin's new apartment was ready for him to move in. He liked sharing a room with Merlin. They were going to live together eventually, this was like a dry run. Merlin having his own flat would have been a lot more exciting if Draco's mother hadn't already made it clear that she expected Draco to sleep in his own bed on weeknights once school started. The way she'd said it, Draco didn't doubt she'd actually make a point of checking on him.

"I've never actually seen this flat," he said, as he and Merlin rode the lift up to Merlin's new place. Draco had a box full of clothes and books Christina and Lavinia had brought over in his arms. "Mum says it's nice. It's where Father lived when he first met Evan which I guess is why he never sold it."

	"It's supposed to be really nice. It's got all your father's old furniture." Merlin admitted as the lift made a ding sound and they were in his flat. He stepped out and took a look around, feeling a bit surprised at how big it was. "This place is like a palace." Merlin laughed and put the bags he had on the ground. "Holy hell."

Draco set the box he was carrying down on a table, laughing at Merlin's reaction. "It's my father's old flat. You know what he's like. What did you expect?"

He walked over to the windows, tugging the curtains partway open so they could take in the view. "There's supposed to be a remote for these somewhere," he said. "This is so much better than the house. Not being allowed to sleep over on weeknights is the same as being allowed to live here on weekends, right?"

	Merlin laughed at Draco, rolling his eyes. He was so dramatic. "It depends how much I'm working on the weekends. I have to have a job, Draco. I fully intend to pay your father rent, which means most of my weekend will be taken by a job." He walked over to where he was and kissed his neck softly. "I love you, though. You can stay here and wait on me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Merlin laughed at that and nodded. "Yeah. Alright." He told him, taking Draco's hand into his and leading him through the living room. He looked at the kitchen area and hummed. "Doesn't look like this was used much." He glanced at Draco. "I suppose your father probably doesn't really know how to cook, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Draco gave Merlin a grumpy look, reaching up to straighten his hair out. "Don't mess up my hair. What's the point in cooking classes? I know how to dial a phone and we've got a cook at home. I can bring you real meals. Or you can just eat with us." He opened the cupboards, snorting. "Cereal and scotch," Draco said. "Fairly typical for my father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Draco shrugged it off, following Merlin back to the bedroom. He fell onto the bed, smiling up at the other boy. "You have brand new sheets," he told him. "I made a specific request for those, since this is where my father and Evan lived until my parents got married." He looked around the room. "This place is huge. We could probably keep it when I move out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	merlinsbeard 2013-05-16 12:06 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. It's huge." Merlin nodded, glancing at the closets. He walked over to it and opened the doors, glancing at all the suits and clothes. He picked up a note attached to one of the suits. Lucius had bought him clothes. He felt... odd about it. "I guess your Dad thought of everything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know I'm a teenager. I just... It's just groceries." Merlin looked back at Draco and gave him a sad look. "I know you have money. I don't want your money, Draco. I want my own money." He leaned against the wall. "I just... I don't want to offend you, but you throw your money around all the time. And not all of us have money." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Merlin sighed softly and leaned in, kissing Draco deeply. He knew that he just wanted to help, but Tom was a Riddle. He had a hard time accepting things from people without giving them something in return. "I'm never able to do anything for you." Merlin replied, sighing softly. "I can't. And it makes me feel awful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's the problem." Merlin grumbled as he looked away from Draco. Why couldn't he understand the situation? He turned and looked at his boyfriend, shaking his head. "I don't want to be your little wife, living off your money." Merlin told him. "I actually want to make something of myself and not live off the moey someone gives me." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	"There is for me. You don't understand at all." Merlin let out a frustrated noise and sat up, running his hands through his hair. He just wanted a breath. A breath to himself. He pulled off his shirt and started to undo his trousers. "I'm going to take a bath." Merlin told him, kicking off his shoes before he tugged off his trousers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Draco watched Merlin getting naked. Maybe he didn't understand, but he was trying to. Merlin seemed unable to accept that someone else's opinion might be valid too. "I could join you," he offered, giving Merlin a hopeful look. "I bet the bathtub here is huge too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	merlinsbeard 2013-05-16 02:18 am UTC (link)
	Merlin closed his eyes and ran a hand through his hair again. He felt so frustrated, but he did love Draco. He didn't want him to get angry with him. He turned to face him and let out a sigh. "Alright." He nodded. "But, I kind of just want quiet time. I need to calm down or I'm going to burst at the seams." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A small, petty part of Draco wanted to point out that he actually hadn't said or done anything wrong, but now didn't seem like a good time to bring that up. He settled for nodding. "I could go out and get us something to eat," he offered, after a moment. "Give you some time alone" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm just going to take my bath." Merlin told him with a soft sigh, walking into the bathroom to run his water. The tub was huge and round and porcelain. It was almost unfair that someone could have a place like this. He sighed. Things would have to get better, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
