As if anyone would actually pay money for this thoughtless drivel. And even if they like it, it's right here and money is not required. So there! Bottom line: I don't own them I just like to play God with them. Like an ant walking back and forth across my feet for what seems like miles upon miles. Or a bug with a magnifying glass as it slowly burns into nothingness. Ahem Yes, I don't own them. Never have. Never will. Sigh.

Every morning Marcus Flint woke up to a cold bed. Percy Weasley always left early and quietly. Percy had to be at the Ministry early each day to work. He had allowed himself to be recruited by the Ministry because that was what was expected of him. Marcus usually slept in as his quidditch practices were usually held at night. He had been recruited by the Falmouth Falcons due to the common interest of playing aggressively.

There were times when Percy would angrily vow that he would never return, but he always found his way back to Marcus's bed each night. Sometimes when Percy returned, Marcus had already gone to sleep and Percy would slip into bed next to him, filling the empty side of the bed. Marcus would wrap an arm around Percy during the night.

Most of the time when Percy crawled back, Marcus would smirk knowingly and roughly fuck Percy against the wall of the bedroom. Marcus knew Percy loved it as he mewled in masochistic pleasure. Afterwards as Percy lay broken on the floor, Marcus would tenderly kiss every bruise and scratch, melting Percy's resolve again, working him into such a torrid frenzy that he would beg once again to be taken. Marcus would oblige, being softer than he had at first. Percy never gave an apology for his escapes and Marcus never expected one. Marcus permitted Percy to fly freely because Percy always returned.

I know I should be working on other things - and I will finish Riptide by the summer. That I promise! And the next chapter of What I Might Need will be published shortly. I was just bored during class when we were discussing... I don't even remember what we were discussing. It was that exciting.
