Chapter 9 : What you don't know?
*************
Percy took Oliver's lead the next day and pretended that nothing had happened between them the night before. Perhaps he had assumed that Percy had drunk too much champagne on the rehearsal dinner that he wouldn't remember what transpired between them the night before.
Percy remembered alright. He remembers it all too well in fact.
It had been the best night he had spent on another man's arms. It had been pure pleasure from the get go. A sensual feast between two healthy hormonally driven men. It was, until up the moment where Oliver had opened his beautiful mouth and spoiled it.
But Percy understood, it wasn't really Oliver's fault. He was only telling the truth after all, Percy indeed had bought him at the auction to be his date for his sister's Ginny's wedding and it was for the best that he don't forget that. It was his own fault for forgetting that particular fact.
It wasn't a mistake that Percy would be keen on repeating anytime soon. But he now had an idea on how Oliver see things happening between them. Percy would just take what was offered and not build any false hopes, this would be just a weekend love affair, nothing less, nothing more.
He glanced at Oliver seated at the passenger's seat as he drove them to the mall. Oliver would need to find a tuxedo for himself to wear at the wedding, due to the unfortunate (or fortunate, it depends on who you ask.) incident of Marcus Flint breaking his legs the day before. Percy needed to run an errand and see to the wedding cake that the bride had chosen. His mum Molly decided that it would be best for her daughter to order from a professional, though Molly is no slouch at baking, she preferred it to be out of the twins reach, just in case they decide to do a little mischief. He also needed to buy his nephew some game cartridges to console him. Ruelf was supposed to come with them to the mall, but he had a slight fever and his mother decided that he should rest for tomorrows festivities.
"Okay we're here." Percy said as he stepped out of his fathers car and walked towards the entrance of the mall. "Why don't we meet back here in an hour while you pick your tux up and I'll see to the cake."
"I have a better idea." Oliver stopped just inside the entryway. "Why don't we pick up my tux and I'll join you later to see to the cake. I'd even help you with get some good games for Ruelf."
"Okay, but we need to hurry up. Mum and Dad are expecting us back home before four." Percy finally agreed after a while.
***********
"How do I look?" Oliver asked, as he looked at the full length mirror and turned to face Percy.
"Nice, You look nice." Percy answered. Actually Oliver looked quite handsome in the black tux. In fact Oliver would look good in just about anything. But the tuxedo's material really brings out the color of his eyes and it shows his lithe body in a very positive light. In fact, he looked as he just stepped out of the WQ (Wizards Quarterly). One thing that Percy was sure off, even if Olive gave up Quidditch, which he won't but if he did, he'd make a killing as a male model.
Though Percy wouldn't say anything about that. The man has already big enough head as it is.
"Nice just nice." Oliver walked to where Percy was standing and whispered in his ear. "This suit costs roughly two hundred galleons." Oliver complained, looking at the price tag on the lapels and decided to do some calculations. "I ought to look dashing, scrumptious, sexy." Oliver inked at the sales lady. "If I'm paying this much."
Percy placed his hands on Oliver's shoulders and urged him towards the mirrors where he stood behind him, then leaned in. "You know I know that you're all that and much more." Then said for Oliver's ears alone. "Though I prefer you much more without your clothes on."
"Percy!!" Oliver pretended to look shocked.
"If you don't believe me, I could show you." Percy flirted.
Turning to the girl, Oliver said. "Okay I'll take this." Oliver pulled out his walled at took out some muggle money that he fortunately had the foresight to bring. "We'd pick it up a little later after we run a little errand." He all but dragged Percy out the shop. "We need to see to that cake, and get some computer games and return him before your folks do. I really have something to show you too."
**********
"Meagan why does all the hottest guys, seem to be gays if they're not married."
"Its the way of the world honey, It has always been that way."
Jill really didn't mind seeing two men together, in fact those two looked beautiful together but they would really look lovely on her bed all mussed up and sweaty (though that would be the day) I really ought to find a man of my own. She thought to herself. She looked at Meagan who was putting the tux on the box to have it picked up later. When will our princes come, she wondered.
**********
Oliver was the one who drove the car home, seemingly eager to get home. He ran three red lights on the way, but the man sitting beside him didn't seem to care. In fact, he seemed giddy with excitement and urged Oliver to run that last red light. As Oliver parked the car in the driveway, Hermione came out the front door to greet them both. Oliver groaned, and he thought that they would be alone. There goes his plan of an intimate afternoon.
"Hey Percy, hey Oliver." Hermione called out.
"Hey Mione, what's up?" Percy called out as he opened the passenger door and stepped out.
"Ronan's here."
"Ronan's here! Where?"
"He's upstairs, getting settled in." Hermione informed him.
"I thought that he wasn't going to be here until later tonight." Percy asked.
"Well, he did get out of work early, and took the first Portkey to here."
"Great!!" Percy rushed off inside, without even sparing a glance in Oliver's direction.
"Who's Ronan?" Oliver asked Hermione as she looked on after Percy with a smile on her face.
"Who?" Mione repeated, obviously not having heard the question.
"Ronan? Who's Ronan?"
"Ronan's Percy's best friend, he lives right next door to us, didn't he tell you?" By the scowl on Oliver's face, Hermione concluded that obviously not.
"No." Oliver said flatly.
"Don't worry Oliver, they're just mates." Hermione comforted and added. "They'd been like best friends since forever." When the face in front of her looked even grimmer and darker. She concluded that it was the wrong thing to say. Hermione grimaced, that's two mistakes in a row, and people assumed how intelligent she is. I just hope Harry and Ron gets here soon. I'm talking my mouth off, and my two best friends hasn't arrived yet. She thought to herself.
***********
"Great, it's been going great." At the obvious reluctance in his best friends voice, Ronan knew that there was something that Percy wasn't telling him.
"Honestly?" Ronan asked again, he wouldn't stop asking until he gets an answer that he wants and from the look on Percy's face, he knows it too.
After a few moments, Percy conceded. "No, you're right, actually it's not going great at all."
"Did your mum and dad find out that he was just your pretend date?" On Ronan's mind this was obviously the worst case scenario, that would trouble his friend so.
"No, actually they were very taken with him."
"Then what's the problem, his IQ is lower than 150?" Percy shook his head with a smile, it's been an ongoing joke between them that Percy was a stickler for extreme intelligence.
"Then what's the problem."
"The problem with is…" His friend gave Percy a nod to encourage him and he was able to continue. "The problem is I'm very much taken with him too."
Ronan's grin was enormous. "That's great. I'm really happy for the both of you, you'd make a great couple."
Percy shook his head, apparently this wasn't a cause for a celebration. "You're forgetting one thing."
"What?"
"I bought him for the wedding remember?"
Ronan gave him an incredulous look. "What? You want a refund?"
"Of course not." Percy was aghast.
"Then I don't really see a problem."
"The problem is this is just for the weekend. I mean when it's over I won't see him ever again."
"Why not? He lives in downtown London too right?"
"Yes, but I really don't see this relationship working out."
"Why are you saying things like that?"
"Have you even noticed the guy?" Percy stood up, and began waking back and forth across the room, apparently exasperated. "The bloke's too busy having fun to even consider having a permanent relationship and even if he was, I don't think that he would be even considering me."
Ronan stood up and walked in front of his mate to stop his pacing. "You give yourself far too little credit, Percy, you're a wonderful guy, any man would be lucky to have you, and I think this Oliver Wood knows that too." At the discomfort in Percy's demeanor, his mate knew that he wasn't believing him at all. "Are you in love with him?" Ronan asked seriously.
Percy gave him an offended look. "What kind of a question is that? I went to bed with him didn't I?"
"You what!!!"
"I said that I slept with him, don't read too much into it."
"Am I talking to my best mate for seven years. The one that doesn't date and who hasn't slept with someone since last eclipse, which means for far too long." Ronan continued and gave his friend a wry smile. "I'm disappointed in you Percy Weasly, putting out on the first weekend you spent with the guy. I thought I taught you better than that."
Percy gave him a dry look. "What can I say I'm weak."
"Obviously.." When Percy didn't react, Ronan remembered his question hasn't been answered. "You still haven't answered my question."
Percy gave him an uncomfortable look. "What?" Although Percy already knew.
"I asked if you were in love with him"
"You know me Ronan, what do you think?" Ronan did know, Percy just doesn't go to bed with any hot guy that comes a knocking, Percy was a handsome guy and gets a lot of offer. He should know, he first got to know Percy intending to court the man, but when they started to be close, they both decided that it would be best for the two of them if they don't complicate their friendship with anything more. From Ronan can remember, Percy only slept with two persons all his life, his past girlfriend Penelope and some mistake about more than ten years or so ago, a man named Marcus or the other. They were the same in that regard, always thinking that sex and feelings go together. Ronan said quietly. "Yeah, mate. I do know you."
After a while, Percy noticed that his best friend had this look on his face that suggested that he had something on his sleeve. "Ronan, I really don't like this look that you have."
The man across from Percy gave him an innocent look. "What? I won't do anything rash."
Percy gave him a look that said that he didn't believe him. "But I do have an idea. Do you want to have a bit of fun?"
Percy gave this idea a moment to sink in. He really didn't have much too lose. What could it hurt? "What did you have in mind?" Then Ronan told Percy all his plans.
