percy_weasley_mm: ::knocks on the door to Oliver's flat, holding the broom behind him with both hands:: oli_keeper_wood: ::yells:: KATIE! GET THE DOOR! percy_weasley_mm: ::steps inside after Katie opens the door, frowning a little, and makes his way to Oliver's room, knocking softly on the door:: Oliver? It's me. oli_keeper_wood: ::looks at the door:: Perce? Come in. percy_weasley_mm: ::sidles into the room, making sure to keep the broom hidden, and smiles mysteriously:: Guess what I just picked up from Terence? oli_keeper_wood: Oh. Right. Yeah. He told me. percy_weasley_mm: He - what? ::frowns sharply:: I asked him not to! He said he wouldn't! It was - it was supposed to be a surprise! He knew, he knew I wanted to surprise you, and -- ::breaks off, looking at Oliver:: What's wrong? oli_keeper_wood: ::scowling:: I just - Percy, if you were buying a broom for someone, why didn't you ask me for advice on what to get, and why. Forget it. I'm just jealous because I want a new broom. :: pouting a little still:: Who's it for? percy_weasley_mm: ::stands and stares openmouthed at Oliver:: I. You. What? Oliver -- who did you think I was buying a broom for? percy_weasley_mm: Who did you think I was getting Terence to put special Keeping charms on a broom for? oli_keeper_wood: ::mad:: I don't know, maybe your sister, she's using one of mine right now. :: pauses:: What? percy_weasley_mm: ::holds the broom out silently:: percy_weasley_mm: ::quietly:: It's for you, Oliver. Terence helped me out with the cost and the charms. I asked him about it as soon as I found out your old broom was irreperable. oli_keeper_wood: ::almost drops the broom, eyes wide, mouth dropping open:: Wha-what? percy_weasley_mm: You - you haven't gotten a new broom already, have you? ::frowns, misinterpreting Oliver's shock:: I mean, I suppose I can take it back -- or if it isn't what you want -- I could try for a better model, maybe -- ::looks down:: oli_keeper_wood: I - uh - I... ::unable to close his mouth:: Oh, Percy... percy_weasley_mm: ::still not getting it, unable to raise his eyes from the floor, voice almost inaudible:: I'm sorry if it was a bad idea, Oliver. I just. I wanted to do something useful for you. oli_keeper_wood: Percy... ::stroking the broom reverently:: Oh, Percy. Percy. percy_weasley_mm: ::finally begins to catch on to the tone of Oliver's voice, and brings his gaze up slowly, meeting Oliver's:: Oliver? oli_keeper_wood: ::breathing shallowly:: Percy... Perce... percy_weasley_mm: ::takes a nervous step towards Oliver, reaching out towards him a little uncertainly:: Oliver, what? oli_keeper_wood: ::finally looks up from the broom, mouth open wide, eyes damp with tears:: Percy. I. I. ::still holding the broom, out to the side, flings himself on Percy in a manic, clutching, one-armed hug:: percy_weasley_mm: ::breaks into a slow, creeping smile as he finally realizes that Oliver isn't upset with him, and slides his arms around Oliver, tightening the hug and whispering against his neck:: So you're happy? oli_keeper_wood: I-I-I... I. I. :: pulls back far enough to kiss Percy hard and enthusiastically:: I. ::grins helplessly and clutches harder to their hug:: percy_weasley_mm: ::laughs softly, amused and oddly pleased with Oliver's incoherent reaction, and buries his face in the side of Oliver's neck:: oli_keeper_wood: I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you, Perce. ::clings tighter:: percy_weasley_mm: :resses his mouth against Oliver's neck, and tightens his grasp, but doesn't respond:: oli_keeper_wood: ::bounces up and down in Percy's arms, laughing:: I've got a new broom!! ::grins and pulls back to kiss Percy hard again:: percy_weasley_mm: ::laughs again:: Yes, you do. ::kisses Oliver back, sliding a hand up around the back of his neck to pull him into the kiss, then pulls away, smirking:: And why do I have a feeling it's going to be coming to bed with us from now on? oli_keeper_wood: ::laughs:: You know me too well. ::turns and kisses the broom:: percy_weasley_mm: ::continues smirking:: I hope that isn't supposed to make me jealous. oli_keeper_wood: I hope you can accept him into our relationship. ::grins:: percy_weasley_mm: Him? Really? I'd have thought it'd be a her. ::coughs:: Well, shape aside. ::reddens slightly:: But, really - ships are female. Why shouldn't brooms be? oli_keeper_wood: ::glares:: I wasn't talking about you accepting him, I was talking about him accepting you into our relationship. ::grins:: percy_weasley_mm: ::looks affronted:: Well, will you at least tell me the name of he who has replaced me so summarily in your affections? oli_keeper_wood: ::grins:: Well - what's your middle name? percy_weasley_mm: :auses:: It's Alexander. oli_keeper_wood: Then that's my broom's name. Alexander. percy_weasley_mm: :auses, then begins to laugh:: All right, then. Alexander. What am I to do? Shake his hand? Ask him if he'd mind terribly if I asked you to let go of him for just a few minutes to come and ravish me? oli_keeper_wood: You could start by kissing him, you know. percy_weasley_mm: ::eyes the broom skeptically:: You know -- I really think I'm going to pass on that one. No offense, Alexander, but I'm not fond of splinters in my lips. oli_keeper_wood: Look at him. He has no splinters. Perfectly smooth. ::looks at Percy very seriously:: Kiss my broomstick, Percy. percy_weasley_mm: ::reddens, unable to ignore the innuendo in Oliver's comment, but manages to keep a straight face as he replies:: Really, it's quite all right. I'm sure Alexander won't be offended if I'd rather just stick to kissing you. oli_keeper_wood: But I will be. ::very seriously:: Kiss my broomstick, Percy. percy_weasley_mm: ::looks directly at Oliver for a long moment, then begins to smirk, slipping his hands down to Oliver's hips and pushing him - and Alexander - against the end of the bed. mutters something inaudible, still smirking, as he slides to his knees:: oli_keeper_wood: What- what are you doing? I said to kiss my broomstick! percy_weasley_mm: ::looks up at Oliver, face suddenly angelically innocent:: But I am, Oliver! ::flashes the smirk at him and goes to work on Oliver's trousers:: oli_keeper_wood: Percy. ::looks at him like he's crazy, and points to Alexander:: My broomstick is here. percy_weasley_mm: Mmhmm. ::slips Oliver's belt out of the loops, then undoes the button and tugs the zipper down:: Yes, I know it is. ::hooks his fingers under the waistband of Oliver's trousers and pulls them down, sliding his hands back up along the insides of Oliver's thighs:: oli_keeper_wood: So, what... ::squirms a little at Percy's touch, very confused:: What are you doing? percy_weasley_mm: ::tugs Oliver's shorts down, flattening his palms and rubbing them over Oliver's hipbones:: Do shut up, Oliver. :arts his tongue out, sliding it up Oliver's inner thigh:: oli_keeper_wood: Wha-- :issolves into a moan, keeping a hand firmly on his broom while the other moves forward to rest in Percy's hair:: Ohh... percy_weasley_mm: :resses his fingertips into Oliver's hips as he slides his tongue around the base of the shaft, then up to dart over the head:: oli_keeper_wood: Oh. Ohhh. Per-Percy... :: pushes Percy's head, moaning:: percy_weasley_mm: ::closes his lips around Oliver's cock, sliding down partway and beginning to suck - and then pulls off, smirking up at Oliver, lips still parted:: Still rather have me kiss the broomstick? oli_keeper_wood: Nuh-no... no. ::looks down at him:: You keep doing it. I'll take care of Alexander. ::looks at the broom, brings it close and kisses it again:: percy_weasley_mm: :auses for a moment, quirking an eyebrow and looking disbelievingly at Oliver, then shrugs and brings his mouth back down:: oli_keeper_wood: ::forgetting about kissing the broom as Percy's mouth touches him, still keeping a hand tight around it but moaning, clutching at Percy's hair:: percy_weasley_mm: ::sucks harder as he moves his mouth farther and farther down, letting his fingers dig harder into Oliver's hips to steady himself:: oli_keeper_wood: ::moaning and starting to thrust into Percy's mouth a little, swaying on his feet:: percy_weasley_mm: ::begins to work up a slow, heavy rhythm, head moving up and down, pushing Oliver harder back against the bed:: oli_keeper_wood: Percy, Perce... ::incoherent moaning again, tugging at Percy's hair:: percy_weasley_mm: :ulls almost all the way off, then slides his mouth down to the base of Oliver's cock, one hand fumbling up under his shirt to pinch at a nipple:: oli_keeper_wood: Ohhh... ::jerks forward into Percy's mouth, gasping and squirming under his touch:: percy_weasley_mm: ::lets his rhythm speed up, sucking as hard as he can, and uses his knees to push Oliver's legs further apart, angling himself to take more of Oliver down his throat:: oli_keeper_wood: ::moaning louder now:: Perce- Percy, I - I... I'm... percy_weasley_mm: ::keeps his rhythm as fast and hard as he can, one hand still rubbing over Oliver's chest, the other fingering his hipbone:: oli_keeper_wood: ::breathing faster than ever now, thrusts again and clutches at Percy's hair and moans his name as he comes:: percy_weasley_mm: ::strokes his hand gently over Oliver's heart a few more times, managing to swallow and wiping his mouth with the back of his other hand, then stands up slowly:: percy_weasley_mm: :auses halfway through getting to his feet, bends over, and kisses Alexander, then straightens up with a self-satisfied smirk on his face:: oli_keeper_wood: ::gasping to regain his breath, looks at Percy and just melts into his arms, still clinging tight to the broom:: percy_weasley_mm: :resses his mouth into Oliver's hair, still smirking slightly:: So, tell me. Would you rather I'd just kissed the broom? oli_keeper_wood: No. No. ::smiles:: Percy, that was... wow. :: pulls back and kisses him lightly, then looks at him adoringly:: What did I do to deserve all this? percy_weasley_mm: ::looks oddly at him, then speaks quietly:: You didn't have to do anything. oli_keeper_wood: ::grins:: What did I do to deserve you? ::seriously:: I love you, Percy. I. You complete me. percy_weasley_mm: ::buries his head in Oliver's neck again, murmuring in his ear:: I love you, too, Oliver. You didn't have to do anything to deserve me. You've never had to do anything. oli_keeper_wood: Well. ::smiles, hugs Percy tight:: I hope I never do anything again, then. I never want this to end. percy_weasley_mm: :resses a closedmouthed kiss against Oliver's neck:: Neither do I. oli_keeper_wood: ::smiles blissfully, then bounces on the spot:: A new broomstick! percy_weasley_mm: ::looks at Oliver for a moment, then lets a slow grin spread across his face:: Yes, a new broomstick. percy_weasley_mm: Don't you think you should try it out? oli_keeper_wood: Will you come with me? You can use my Nimbus - we can go up to our field? percy_weasley_mm: That's just what I was thinking. oli_keeper_wood: :: positively beams at him:: Really? percy_weasley_mm: ::smiles back:: Yes, really. Do you have your Nimbus here, or is it up at the school? oli_keeper_wood: No, no, it's - why would it be at the school? It's in the front hall. percy_weasley_mm: Well, I thought you might have had it up there, from before. When you were practising there, and helping out with the Gryffindor team, and all. I know you'd lent one of your old brooms to Ginny, so I wasn't sure. oli_keeper_wood: I've been using my Nimbus for Puddlemere practices, though, so it's here. ::grins:: Come on, then, let's go! percy_weasley_mm: ::smiles:: All right. ::follows Oliver out:: oli_keeper_wood: ::lands lightly, grinning madly and grabs Percy's hand as he lands slightly more awkwardly:: It's magnificent. It's a dream. It's everything. :: draws Percy close and kisses him:: Thank you. A million times over. percy_weasley_mm: ::blushes, kissing Oliver back softly:: You're welcome. I'm just glad you like it. oli_keeper_wood: I love it. ::tugs on Percy's hand until he sits down in the grass with him, cuddling in together:: percy_weasley_mm: ::sighs contentedly as Oliver cuddles against him, slipping an arm around his shoulders and pulling him close:: I'm happy, then. oli_keeper_wood: So'm I. ::a pause:: And earlier today, I thought I'd never feel this happy again. ::sighs, cuddling against Percy:: percy_weasley_mm: ::turns to look at Oliver:: You - what? Why? Did something happen? ::frowns slightly, looking concerned:: oli_keeper_wood: ::nods, then, quietly:: I got an owl from my parents. ::a beat, then even more quietly, almost inaudibly:: They want me to become a Death Eater. percy_weasley_mm: ::stares in shock, completely unable to say anything, then simply pulls Oliver into his arms, pressing a kiss to his forehead:: oli_keeper_wood: ::turns his face into Percy's chest, shaking a little:: percy_weasley_mm: :pens his mouth, trying to say something comforting, something reassuring, something, but no sound comes out, and he has to settle for stroking Oliver's hair and pressing kisses to the top of his head:: oli_keeper_wood: So I... ::curls closer to Percy:: I. I don't know what they're going to say to my refusal. percy_weasley_mm: Have you. Have you sent it yet? oli_keeper_wood: ::nods mutely:: percy_weasley_mm: ::kisses Oliver gently:: What did you say to them? oli_keeper_wood: Well.. well, the first word was 'no', that's for sure. percy_weasley_mm: I mean. Did you. Did you get angry about it, or -- you know, I shouldn't be pressing you about this. I'm sorry. ::runs a hand through Oliver's hair:: Oh, I'm sorry, Oliver. I wish you -- I wish this weren't happening to you. To us. oli_keeper_wood: I didn't get angry, not really, I know that won't help. I explained the whole story to them. Everything that's happened to me over the last few weeks. And I. I said I realised they wouldn't want anything to do with me at all, and. I know that's really just what I hope for. I want to think they'll just remove all trace of me from their lives. I'm scared that's not what they'll do. ::closes his eyes and pushes his face into Percy's chest again, wishing he could hide from the world right here:: percy_weasley_mm: ::tightens his arms around Oliver:: Maybe they will. Maybe they'll just - maybe the shame of association with a Weasley will be enough. I. I hope so. I want it to be shameful enough, for once. How disgustingly ironic. ::tries to remove the traces of bitterness from his voice:: And even if not, you can -- you can hide, with me. I can protect you. oli_keeper_wood: Oh, Percy. ::reaches over to clutch his hand:: It's not shameful. I don't... I mean. I know they don't like your family, but it's shameful enough that you're a Gryffindor. A Gryffindor like me. Red-and-gold to the heart. ::closes his eyes:: Thank you. percy_weasley_mm: ::squeezes Oliver's hand in his:: I - I don't know, Oliver. I just hope that if I'm a disgrace, at least I can be a disgrace that saves you from being a Death Eater. oli_keeper_wood: Thank you, Percy. ::curls into him:: I've just - I've felt sick since I received that owl. I've been locked in my room all day. percy_weasley_mm: I'd have come over right away, if I'd known. ::curls himself protectively around Oliver:: I wish I'd been there earlier. But I'm here now. oli_keeper_wood: You're here now, and that's enough. ::smiles:: I don't need anything but you. percy_weasley_mm: :resses his lips into Oliver's hair, murmuring softly:: And I need only you. oli_keeper_wood: And you bought me a new broomstick. ::smiles:: That means the world to me. percy_weasley_mm: ::smiles back, indescribably pleased with the way Oliver's face lights up at the mention of his broomstick:: I'm so pleased you like it. oli_keeper_wood: ::shakes his head a little:: You have no idea, Perce. None. ::grins:: percy_weasley_mm: ::grins back, leaning into Oliver and kissing him softly:: oli_keeper_wood: Love you, Perce. ::smiles up at him:: I feel safe here. Now. percy_weasley_mm: I suspect there isn't much that could hurt us, in our field. Nobody else even knows it's here. We could sleep out here and nobody would ever disturb us. oli_keeper_wood: We should do that. Tonight. ::smiles:: And in the morning just stop at the flat to get my gear and go straight to the game. ::curls into him:: It's perfect, here. Perfect. percy_weasley_mm: ::re-adjusts his arms around Oliver, smiling softly:: It is perfect. It really is. oli_keeper_wood: You know, when we... when we were apart, I didn't even come up here by myself. It didn't feel right without you by my side. percy_weasley_mm: I couldn't even have thought of it. Coming here alone, I mean. ::more quietly:: I'm glad you didn't, either. oli_keeper_wood: It's ours. It's us. ::grins, curling into him again:: And we all know what I experienced here. ::beams up at Percy:: percy_weasley_mm: ::blushes furiously, hoping it won't be visible in the darkness, and nods, not saying anything for a moment:: percy_weasley_mm: ::brushes his lips against Oliver's ear, tightening arms around his waist and getting comfortable in the embrace before whispering softly into his ear:: Good night, Oliver. oli_keeper_wood: ::smiling blissfully and closing his eyes, turns into Percy's embrace:: Night, Perce.
