Anyway, sorry about the long wait for this.
The body was written. Just struggled a bit with the ending.
Pairing: Charlie/Percy
Prompt: Shine
When Percy was five, he looked up to his older brothers. They were both so cool and seemed indestructible.
When Percy was in Hogwarts, they had left behind a legacy.
A legacy that Percy was expected to live up to.
Percy did live up to it. Half of it.
He was a prefect just like Bill.
But he never did shine at quidditch.
Not the way Charlie did.
Charlie was the best seeker that Gryffindor had had in a long time.
Percy knew he would never excel at quidditch.
He would never fly the way Charlie did.
And when his brothers wanted to have a game with him, he always hid.
He knew he was never going to be good at quidditch, so why bother.
"Perce. Hey Percy," startled him out of his thoughts.
He looked up at a grinning face.
"Let's go play quidditch," Charlie said.
"Charlie," Percy said calmly.
"You know I am not good at quidditch."
Percy didn't want to let down his team.
"It's just a friendly game Perce," Charlie said as he dragged Percy up and away from the couch.
"Let's play Perce," Charlie persisted.
"You can be on my team."
"Oh, fine. But don't blame me if we lose," Percy said, throwing his hands up.
Percy followed his brother out to the backyard reluctantly.
And was greeted with cheers from his siblings.
"Managed to drag Percy out," Charlie laughed.
He may not be good at quidditch.
But that never seemed to bother his family.
