39. Percy/Kingsley
A/N: For the Slash/Femmslash BC (evening). Written for the lovely Rish who requested this unusual pair.
I.
By day, they are formal, avoiding eye contact and touch. They keep their distance, behaving as though the other hardly exists.
"Mr. Weasley, I'll need those reports on my desk by noon."
"Right away, Minister."
They wear their masks, so careful not to let their true selves bleed through.
Conflict of interest, Kingsley always calls it.
Percy doesn't mind. He knows all about hiding, and he is nothing, if not professional.
II.
In the evening, when the others are gone and the corridors of the Ministry are empty, they let their masks fall at last.
"Mr. Weasley," Kingsley calls, his voice more relaxed now, "in my office, please."
With a smile, Percy rushes into his lover's arms, pecking his cheek. "Right away, Minister."
