Author's Note:
OMG!
Finished this quickly.
And I enjoyed writing this.
Enjoy :)
Pairing: Percy/George
Prompt: Colour
"What you need is," George paused for the dramatic effect.
"Color," he ended in a more subdued tone.
Fred would usually be there with him.
Completing his sentences.
And that pause was not only for effect.
It was also for his brother to jump in.
But he didn't. He couldn't.
Percy felt hollow.
He should just call Audrey and cancel.
She would understand.
It was too soon.
"I'm not going," he muttered.
"What?" George asked.
"It's too soon," he said as he avoided George's glance and stared at the floor.
George said nothing, but Percy heard him step away.
It was too painful to even talk about it.
"This light blue is nice."
Percy looked up in surprise.
Any mention of Fred would get George running.
To Godric's Hollow.
But now...
"Percy?"
Percy looked up to see George standing at his closet, holding up a light blue dress robe.
"Is this ok?" he asked.
And even if it wasn't Percy would still say, "Yes."
George smiled shakily.
He looked like he was going to start crying any minute.
"Here," George passed the dress robes to Percy.
"Go get changed."
Just as Percy was about to thank him for his help, George added, "before she changes her mind about going out with you."
He smiled as he left the room.
It might have annoyed Percy last time.
And he pretended to be annoyed.
But honestly, he was too happy at the real smile to be annoyed.
They were all healing.
Slowly.
