Title: About Time

Percy Weasley had been assigned a ministry report on broom safety. He needed some help since he knew nothing about brooms. At first he couldn't think of anyone that could help him then he thought of his best friend from Hogwarts Oliver Wood. He hadn't seen him since they graduated last year. He decided to go to the next Puddlemere United game.

A few days later, he was in the stands at the game. Oliver wasn't playing until the keeper got hurt. Merlin, Percy forgot how attractive the brunette looked in his uniform. He was the best keeper at Hogwarts and that hasn't changed one bit since Puddlemere United won. Percy asked one of Oliver's teammates to lead him to the lockers.

"Wood, there's someone here to see you."

The brunette looked up at Percy grinning and said in his Scottish brogue. "Percy, it's great to see you."

Percy now remembered why it was so hard for him not to melt into a puddle of goo around the Scottish brunette.

"You want an autograph," the brunette smirked.

"In your chicken scratch, I'd rather not," Percy said, wryly.

The brunette chuckled heartily and said. "I've missed your wit, Perce."

The ginger finally remembered his task and said. "I have this report to do."

"You were the smart one between us."

"Oliver, you didn't let me finish, I know nothing about broom safety will you help me. It will probably include long nights and very bad take out."

The brunette smiled and said. "You had me at bad take out, Perce."

"You're really going to help me?"

Oliver nodded and said. "I've missed spending time with you."

Percy grinned. The duo set up the details and Percy left.

It was a few nights later, Percy was getting ready for Oliver's visit. He had already ordered some Italian take out from the restaurant down the way. Oliver arrived a few minutes later.

"So, let's get this started," Percy said, professionally.

Oliver nodded. They began working on the report. About thirty minutes later the food arrived. They ate and worked on the report.

The next time they worked on the report, it was at Oliver's. They ate some more take out and worked on the report.

They continued this routine until the report was finished. That didn't mean the two boys stopped spending time together.

"Thanks for helping me again, I really needed it," Percy said.

"You're welcome, Perce."

The redhead smiled at his best friend. The two boys continued talking until they fell asleep.

The next morning, Percy woke up with Oliver's head on his lap. He looked down at him smiling. A few minutes later the brunette woke up.

"Morning."

"Morning."

The two boys got up and Percy started to make tea for them.

"I can't take this anymore, Perce."

The redhead looked confused at the brunette.

"I've been in love with you since our fifth year, you're blind."

Percy asked. "What?"

Oliver just leaned in and kissed the redhead. Percy gladly kissed him back and tangled his hands in his friend's brunette hair.

"I've fancied you for just as long, you're the only reason I enjoyed Quidditch."

The brunette smiled at him. The two boys began a relationship finally.
