Draco was lonely. Pansy still wasn't talking to him and Merlin was working all the time. He got that Merlin had to work, but it would be nice if when he didn't he wasn't working Merlin texted him more. Or was at least nicer to him. Draco had already planned out what he was going to make for Merlin for dinner that night and he'd practiced cooking the chicken and vegetables in the oven at home a couple times and he thought he had it down, so maybe this time Merlin wouldn't go on a rant about how useless Draco was and tell him he never lifted a finger.

For now, he was camped out in the dinosaur section of the Natural History Museum because it was always busy and at least if there were lots of tourists walking around while he sat on a bench and stared at an old skeleton he felt less like this was the end of one of the worst summers ever. Draco fiddled with his phone, contemplating texting Pansy or Merlin again for the millionth time, but the long list of unresponded to texts to Pansy kind of put him off, and if he texted Merlin at work Merlin might tell him off for it.

Charlie enjoyed his job at the museum. He loved working with dinosaurs and putting them together. It was as close to being near the actual things as he could get. Too bad he couldn't time travel.

He was walking through a section of the theatre when he saw a young man looking rather gloomy. That wasn't allowed. Not when he was around such wonderful creatures. He sat down beside him on the bench and hummed. "You don't look very happy to be around such beautiful specimens of history."

Draco looked up when the man who'd sat next to him started talking. He was prepared to scowl until he went away, but the stranger was kind of cute and wearing museum ID. "I'm admiring them," he promised.

He tucked his phone away again and looked up at the giant skeleton in front of him. "Coelophysis was an early meat eating dinosaur that lived in the Late Triassic period. Specimens average three metres in length, but it's quite small for a carnivore and it relied on speed and agility to catch its pray. They had hollow bones which enhanced their speed and walked on two legs."

"I see you read up on it." Charlie smiled at the boy and held out his hand to him. "I'm Charlie. These are my dinosaurs. Well. Kind of. I'm the curator for this particular section of the museum."

He looked Draco over. "What's got you looking so glum today?"

"My mother and her boyfriend brought me here a lot when I was a kid," Draco said, feeling a bit impressed that someone who looked so long as a museum curator. He shook Charlie's hand. "I was really into dinosaurs. I'm Draco."

He shrugged at the question, looking at the skeleton in front of him again. "Just teenage drama. My best friend thinks I'm a prat and my boyfriend is..." Draco frowned, thinking about the way Merlin had been acting. He'd been kicked out of his house. Draco couldn't complain. Merlin had it a lot worse than he did. Still. "My boyfriend acts like he thinks I'm a shallow, selfish, useless twat with no ambitions beyond shopping for shoes he thinks are too expensive and one day being his trophy husband."

Charlie took a moment to take all of that in. It sounded... complicated, but it wasn't too bad. Just general teenage drama bullshit. He gave Draco a soft smile and shook his head.

"Doesn't sound like your boyfriend is a very nice bloke. You sure you want to be with him?" He asked, shaking his head. "I had a girlfriend once who kind of thought of me as a loser too. I left her."

A loser. Was that how Merlin thought of him? That didn't make Draco feel very good. "I thought I wanted to be with him. It took us so long to get together I assumed everything would be great when it finally happened. He didn't want to be gay and then he'd do it as long as I was the only one who knew. Then he told his father and got kicked out of the house. My father set him up with a flat and he got a job because he didn't want to live with us or let his mother pay rent for him."

He shook his head. "I can't leave him now. He told his father he was gay because he wanted to be with me. Just... it would be nice if he didn't keep telling me I'm doing things wrong and giving me things to change about myself." Draco frowned. "Maybe he wants me to break up with him so he can tell his father he changed his mind and he's not gay after all."

"You can't believe that. And you can't blame yourself for him coming out to his father. It would have happened eventually." Charlie gave the boy a warm smile. He felt bad for him. He couldn't understand how he felt, but he wanted to try and make him feel a little better. In any way he could.

"You shouldn't feel like you have to coddle him. Or stay with him because he's come out to his father." Charlie shook his head. "My family wasn't big on me being gay, either. When I finally came out. They've warmed to the idea, though."

"You're gay?" Draco asked, a bit surprised since they'd just talked about how his girlfriend thought he was a loser. Still. It did make Draco more inclined to take his advice. He was gay too. And older. And seemed like he knew what he was talking about. And he was actually willing to listen, which nobody else was currently doing. His father definitely wouldn't tell him it was okay to leave Merlin.

"Everyone's going to think it's just me being self-centered," he said, sighing. "Except Pansy might be my friend again if I break up with Merlin. They've never gotten along. Merlin used to lock Pansy in cupboards so I wouldn't spend time with her." Draco frowned at his hands, thinking it over. Merlin had known him his whole life. If he thought Draco was shallow and selfish then maybe he was right. Charlie was a stranger. "Maybe I should just keep trying to do the things Merlin wants me to do for a while and see if it gets better. He loves me."

"Yeah. I'm gay." Charlie promised Draco with a grin. The boy seemed like he really needed help. The whole story of his ordeal seemed so.. sad. And Charlie really wanted nothing more than to cheer him up. If just a little bit."

"If people think that it's just you being self-centered, they're not really your friends." Charlie explained, shaking his head. "And even if he does love you, the way he's making you feel and the things he's saying to you are abusive. No one deserves to feel like they're not doing their best when they're doing their best."

Draco didn't want to break up with Merlin. He and Merlin had been waiting their whole lives to get together. He loved Merlin. "Things were supposed to get better when he finally agreed to date," he said, running a hand through his hair. If Merlin couldn't love him without thinking Draco should change who he was, who was going to?

"My father loves him. He's going to hate me for breaking up with him." Draco looked up at Charlie. "You're probably right. Healthy relationships aren't supposed to make you want to hide in the dinosaur exhibit of the museum until you feel better."

"Just because your father loves him, doesn't mean you're in a good relationship." Charlie touched Draco's hand and smiled. "I don't know you. I don't know your whole situation. I'm just trying to help you out. Figure out where you need to go from here."

He hummed. "I tell you what. If you do break up with your boyfriend and you're feeling lonely, you can call me. We'll go out."

Draco raised an eyebrow at that offer, snorting. "As friends?" he asked. Maybe all this advice was just a really awkward way of asking him out. Although honestly, the idea of hanging out with someone who didn't know all of his and Merlin's history sounded nice. Pansy probably wouldn't be all that sympathetic. If she even talked to him after it.

"Okay," he agreed. "You'll have to give me your number. Do you actually use your phone as a phone still? You're... older."

"As friends. I'm not asking you on a date." Charlie promised with a laugh. "I just figured, since you said people would be upset with you, you'd need someone. And as you've so graciously pointed out, I'm older."

Charlie rolled his eyes. "And I'm not that old. I'm only twenty-four. We still use our phones."

2013-06-11 08:59 pm UTC (link)
Draco smiled at that. "All right, you're not an old man," he agreed. "People are definitely going to be upset with me if I break up with Merlin. His uncle is my father's boyfriend. His mother and my mother are best friends. I think as far as they're concerned, I'll be breaking up an engagement."

He ran his hands over his face. But if he wasn't with Merlin, maybe he wouldn't be so miserable. Pansy might talk to him again. Maybe Merlin would try and be better. Try and do something besides tell him how useless he was. "Okay," Draco said. He took his phone out again, unlocking it and offering it to Charlie. "Give me your number and maybe, if I do break up with him, I'll call you for help."

"You can't think about what other people want." Charlie shook his head. "If I did what my parents wanted, I'd be married to Nymphadora Tonks right now. And I definitely don't want that."

Charlie took the phone from Draco and put in his number, then texted himself. "I'll be around any time that you need me. I stay up late."

Draco nodded, looking down at the number in his phone. He'd sort of made a new friend, maybe. He hadn't done that in a long time. "Thank you," he said, smiling at Charlie. "I'll let you know what happens. If we break up or not."

***

Draco was much less convinced breaking us was a good idea now that he was in Merlin's flat, cooking him dinner and waiting for him to come home from work. By the time he'd stopped walking around the city worrying about what might happen if they split, it had been too late to cook the chicken he'd been practicing. He'd bought a frozen pizza instead, because it kind of counter, and put together stuff for a salad.

Draco set the table for the two of them sat on the couch, looking a blogs on his phone and waiting for Merlin to come home from work. He was probably just over-reacting. Everyone always said he was dramatic.

Merlin was exhausted from his day at work, but he wasn't going to complain too much. Lucius was getting him a job that wasn't going to make his life too miserable and things could get back on track.

He came into his flat and looked at Draco on the couch. "Hey." He took off his hat and began to undo his shirt. "How was your day?"

Draco looked up from his phone. "Hey," he said. "It was.... It was okay. I went to the museum and looked at the dinosaurs for a bit. I made friends with one of the curators, I think. He was nice."

He got up from the couch. "Dinner's almost ready. I made a salad and I got one of those frozen pizzas. That counts as cooking, right?"

"It sounds good. Pizza is always good." Merlin promised Draco. He walked up to him and wrapped an arm around his waist, pulling him close to his body, breathing him in. He kissed his neck softly.

"I missed you so much." Merlin kissed Draco for a long moment. "Thank you for making dinner. Do you want to take a shower with me before we eat?"

Draco kissed Merlin back, smiling and relaxing in his arms. This was fine. This was good. Draco was just over-reacting. "I should probably take the pizza out or turn the oven off or something if we're going to be naked together, but yeah, that sounds nice."

He kissed Merlin again, then pulled away, walking to the kitchen and switching the oven off. "How was work?" he asked. "Are you on the register yet?"

"They've trained me on the register. But, your father is helping me get another job." Merlin told him with a smile. "I'll be selling suits. Can you believe that?"

He motioned towards the oven. "Crack it just a bit to let the hot air out, then close it so it just stays warm." Merlin undid his trousers and pulled them off, then took off his undershirt.

Draco raised an eyebrow at Merlin. "Of course my father got you a job selling suits. He's probably hoping to take advantage of your discount. It sounds way better than working in fast food though. You look so good in a suit."

He did as he was told, cracking the oven door for a moment and then closing it again. He took his own shirt off, smiling at Merlin. "I'm glad you're happier. I was starting to go mad from how grumpy you were all the time."

"Now I can get back to loving you full time. Right?" Merlin asked as he pressed Draco against the counter, then kissed down his neck. He closed his eyes, humming softly against Draco's skin.

"Because I do. I love you so much." Merlin bit at his bottom lip. "Come on."

Draco closed his eyes, leaning into Merlin's touch and relaxing. It felt so good to be with Merlin when he wasn't criticizing him. "I love you too," he said. "I love my father for getting you another job."

He walked to the bathroom with Merlin, switching on the shower water and then taking off his trousers. "I don't need you to spend all your time loving me. It's just nice to have things be nice, you know?"

Merlin looked back at Draco for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah. I suppose. I think things are nice most of the time. I just get a little... out of sorts. But, I've been so stressed."

He leaned in and kissed him softly, then stepped into the shower. "Fuck. My body aches so much."

"I can help you feel better," Draco promised, smiling at Merlin and getting into the shower with him. He ran his hands over the other boy's body, rubbing at his shoulders. "I know you've been stressed. I've been doing my best to help with that."

He kissed the back of Merlin's neck. "Do I get to keep you tomorrow too, or do you have another all-day meeting with my father to make sure you get this new job?"

Merlin nearly winced at that, but he couldn't give anything away. He shook his head. "I'm sure that I'll have time to be with you tomorrow. I'll make plans with you and everything."

He turned in his arms and kissed him softly. "Do you want to top or bottom tonight? See? I'm making plans."

Draco laughed at that. "I like the kind of plans you come up with," he said, kissing Merlin again. "I don't care. I'm just really glad you're happy. I want to keep you happy."

He brushed his fingers through Merlin's wet hair. "Do you want me to wash your hair for you?"

2013-06-12 12:23 am UTC (link)
Merlin hummed softly against Draco's lips, leaning into his touch. He shrugged. "If you want to wash my hair, you can. I just want to be close to you. That's all."

He brushed his nose against Draco's neck. "Your skin is always so soft."

Draco smiled, leaning against the wall of the shower and holding Merlin close. "You could have soft skin too. Just moisturize when you get out of the shower and you'll be fine."

He kissed Merlin's shoulder. "I like being close to you too. And you don't even smell like fry oil anymore. It's perfect."

Merlin ran his hands down Draco's back, rocking their hips together slowly. He loved him. He didn't want to lose what they had. This... love that they had. Draco was his soul mate. No matter what else he was doing.

"I love you." He whispered, pressing their lips together again, kissing Draco deeply.

Draco made a soft sound when Merlin rocked against him like that, kissing him back. "I love you too," he promised. "So much."

Lucius thought working in the suit department of Harrods was a big step up from working for a fast food restaurant. Merlin would be happier there until Lucius found him an internship with his company. He just had to finalize some things. Sort of. It was a good excuse to visit Merlin as he was sure he'd be home from work by now. He stepped into Merlin's flat, loosening his tie and glancing at the uniform on the floor leading into the bathroom.

He smirked to himself, shrugging off his jacket and draping it over the back of a chair on his way to the bathroom, pushing the door open. "Merlin --"

Draco pulled back from snogging and frotting with Merlin immediately when he heard his father's voice, feeling his erection wilting. "Dad? What the hell?"

Merlin froze in Draco's arms. He hoped this didn't look like what exactly it was. He pulled back and opened the shower curtain slightly, looking at Lucius and biting his lip. This was bad.

"Hello, Sir." Merlin looked him over carefully, then stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around his waist.

Lucius looked Merlin over. He was far too attractive, dripping wet like that in only a towel. "I... came to talk to you about your new job in the shop, but I see you're busy."

"He'd be busy if he was showering alone," Draco pointed out, turning the water off and staying safely behind the curtain, where his father couldn't see him naked. "Can't this wait? We've got plans tonight."

Merlin saw the way that Lucius was looking at him. He bit his bottom lip and gave him a guilty look. It felt like he was cheating on the wrong person. On Lucius.

"I...." He ran a hand through his hair and closed his eyes. "Give me just a moment, Draco. I'll come back quickly." He promised, then stepped out of the bathroom and waited for Lucius to follow. "What did you need?"

2013-06-12 02:32 am UTC (link)
Lucius followed Merlin out of the bathroom, closing the door firmly behind himself so they'd know if Draco was following them. "You," he said simply. "What do I always need when I come here?"

He pushed Merlin against the wall, leaning in and brushing their lips together. He felt possessive of him, after catching Merlin and Draco together.

Merlin made a noise of protest against Lucius's mouth. Draco was just in another room and Lucius was doing this. He closed his eyes and leaned into the kissing a bit, hand running up Lucius's chest.

"We can't..." He whispered, rocking his hips against Lucius. "Draco could come in."

Lucius smirked against Merlin's lips. "Doesn't that make it more exciting?" he asked, slipping his hand down and gripping Merlin through the towel he had on. "I know your greedy little body. You'd love to have us at the same time."

His clothes were getting a bit damp from being do close to Merlin, but that was fine. He nipped at his bottom lip. "God, seeing you wet and naked makes me want to bend you over the counter and fuck you. You should visit me in the office one day. I'll take you over my desk."

Merlin made a soft noise against Lucius's lips and let his hand slide down, rubbing him through his trousers. He let out a small gasp, trying not to imagine how hot it would be if he had both Lucius and Draco together.

He shook his head and pulled away a bit. "We can't do this. Draco is going to walk in on us."

"You're right," Lucius said, laughing and taking a step back. He looked down at his clothes. "You've already managed to get me wet." He attempted to straighten his shirt out. "He won't find out. You'll be fine."

"Find out what?" Draco asked, standing in the bathroom doorway with a towel around his waist. He frowned a little, glancing between Merlin and his father. "Is this about your father?"

Merlin glanced at Draco and cleared his throat. "Yeah. I don't want my father to find out where I'm living." He told him, his stomach turning. He hated lying to him. He loved him.

He pulled away from Lucius more and walked over to Draco. "You were supposed to wait."

Draco raised an eyebrow at that. "I figured I could probably get out of the shower and dry off so I didn't freeze to death," he said. "The mood's kind of gone now anyway. My dad walked in on us."

He grabbed his shirt from the floor, pulling it back on. "Why don't you want your father to know what you're doing?"

"Tom has his own contacts," Lucius said, waving a hand. "He might object to Merlin putting his life back together instead of crawling back home. You know what Tom's like."

Merlin glanced at Draco to make sure he wasn't suspicious, then moved over to his cupboard to get out some sleeping clothes. He dropped his towel and began to pull them on.

"You mean him being a monster?" Merlin asked, looking up at Lucius as he tugged his pants on.

Lucius wished Merlin wouldn't get naked in front of him. He found his eyes traveling over his body, even if Draco was in the room with him. "That's exactly what I mean," he said. "He's always been that way."

Draco found his jeans, putting them on under his towel, even if Merlin was apparently a nudist now. "I don't know. He might come around once he gets used to the idea," he said, thinking about what the man at the museum had said. "He's your father."

"He's not going to come around, Draco. He's not a normal father." Merlin shook his head and walked over to his boyfriend. He kissed his forehead.

"Go get the pizza you made for us ready. I'll be out in a moment." He trailed his finger down Draco's chest. "Okay?"

Draco felt a little like he was being sent off on an errand, but maybe Merlin wanted to talk about something private with his father. He nodded, kissing him one last time before he pulled away. "Okay. I'll make sure it's still warm."

Lucius watched Draco leave, then looked at Merlin again. "I forgot he came here on the weekends. You've really got him cooking for you?" He shook his head. "I'm impressed."

"He's hardly cooking. He made a frozen pizza." Merlin shrugged. "But, he's trying. And I have to give him credit for that. Through the week, I mostly starve because I'm too tired to cook when I get home."

He ran a hand through his hair and looked up at Lucius. "He can't find out about us. Unless you're ready to tell Evan too."

Lucius snorted. "Making a frozen pizza is more work than Draco ever does at home," he said. "You can always come to our house for dinner on work days, you know."

He frowned when he thought about telling Evan and shook his head. "No, I know he can't," Lucius agreed. "I'll leave you two alone to enjoy your pizza."
