Percy/Ron goodness. Not a one-shot, and I don't own anything except my storyline.
Percy always favoured Ron, out of all his brothers Ron always was the best. Bill was a bit too rebellious, which Percy supposes is where the twins got it from, Charlie was reckless, throwing his life away to the dragons, he had shown some potential, but then it died.
Then there were the twins, well they were the worst, they played pranks they laughed at inappropriate times and they were too loud. Percy could barely even think with the two around. And of course you had Ginny, but she was stubborn, and had taken a bit after Bill, Charlie and the twins. Of course she was also a girl, and sisters were never favoured over brothers.
But… Then there was Ron, he was shy, protective of himself, of course he got himself in some trouble over the years, but that was all Harry otter's fault, he had corrupted his baby brother. Everyone teased him at home, so he didn't become like any of his older siblings, just like Percy. He was sweet and innocent, the one things the twins hadn't managed to corrupt. Harry Potter may have done so, but without purposely doing so.
Ron was quiet too, Percy could always think around him, and much more than that. With Ron he could finally get a word in, he could finally talk, he could tell Ron anything. That's why it didn't surprise Ron or himself when he told Ron after sixth year that he was gay. Penelope hadn't been right for him, she was just too…. Strict.
Percy of course knew he himself shouldn't say that, but he needed someone who was close enough to himself, but could let loose and have fun. Then he realized that no girl could do that for him, and he stopped trying. Of course he never told his parents, he may
have left them but he still cared somewhat about what they thought of him.
He wasn't always like that you know… He used to play Quidditch, he used to let loose and crave leaving the common room after hours, and of course he didn't for fear of getting caught. He used to be great friends with the twins, used to give them advice. Great advice in fact, they used to look up at him before he became prefect. Before he was under so much stress. Before he suddenly changed. He like himself before he became prefect. Much, much better.
Percy knew he had hurt Ron when he left, that was his one fatal regret. He half wanted to take it all back, to turn back time, and to never let it happen. But in the end, he chose his career, he wasn't fudge's spy thank you very much! The Minister had simply seen the potential Percy carried, the organization, the ethic, the pure talent and hard work he put into every single task. Even if it was just fetching him a new cup of honey tea.
Yes, Ron was always Percy's favourite, so he guesses, that's why he feels so utterly torn apart when he visits Hogwarts to see him and finds him in the Room of Requirement, bleeding from his arse, naked with bruises and cuts all over, with his hands covering his eyes trying to stop the tears. He was broken, his little baby brother was broken. And that broke Percy as well…
