but im borrrrrreeedddd
09:20
barty???
im in english rn
09:24
barty???
we’re reading jane eyre
09:24
barty???
i hate that rochester guy fr
09:24
evan 😶🌫️🍃
you hate rochester??
09:24
evan 😶🌫️🍃
he treats her so well tho
09:24
barty???
??? are you dumb
09:25
barty???
he completely lied to her??
09:25
barty???
and she didnt even find out until their wedding day
09:25
evan 😶🌫️🍃
initially, yeah, but the way she accepts him and his past changes him for the better
09:26
evan 😶🌫️🍃
like his character development throughout the book is insane
09:26
evan 😶🌫️🍃
yes he lied but he also treated her differently than she’d ever been treated before in her life, like compared to any of her friends from school or the adults she surrounded herself with
09:26
evan 😶🌫️🍃
he actually somewhat respected her
09:26
evan 😶🌫️🍃
compare him with st john, for example. even he sort of demanded her life when he asked her to marry and run away with him
09:27
evan 😶🌫️🍃
rochester never did that. and after their separation, it was clear how true their love was
09:27
evan 😶🌫️🍃
plus, it was the only romance story of that time that wasn’t based off of a beautiful man that
swoops a woman off her feet. these were just normal people
09:28
barty???
i wouldnt have pegged you as such a fan of romance novels
09:29
barty???
honestly i just couldnt get passed the lying
09:29
barty???
liars are fucking scum.
09:29
evan 😶🌫️🍃
well that i can agree with
09:30
evan 😶🌫️🍃
and im not, two of my friends are book nerds and have lengthy debates about their favourites. they made me read this one.

Notes:
okay so i have my a level mocks in like three weeks and lowk i want to unalive but thats not really an option
anyway i wanted to get at least something out but ive been having a sort of writers block moment except its with literally everything in my life so i couldnt think of an actual structure for the chapter - the solution was to get this out as a filler and then get something out properly after mocksi hope you enjoyed this even though it was short, i js thought it was a nice way of showing personalities etc
byeee
Chapter 3: Chapter three
Summary:
THEY MEET
Notes:
translations at the end
TWs// drinking, mention of being high (?), fight, mention of blood, mention of bones breaking, severus snape

“Poke my eye out and I’ll fucking kill you,” Regulus huffed as Barty reached up to smear black eyeliner across his waterline.
“You think so little of me, Reggie,” He replied, gently whacking Regulus’ hand away when he reached up to grab his wrist. “Have faith, Christ. I’ve done this for you so many times.”
He was met with an exaggerated eye roll when he took the eyeliner away, clicking the cap on and dropping it to the floor with the rest of their makeup.
The two of them were sitting on the floor of Barty’s bedroom, in front of the floor length mirror that he kept propped up on the wall closest to the windows.
Regulus glanced around the room. “When are you ever going to clean this place? It’s such a shit tip.”
Barty rolled his eyes, despite the fact that Regulus probably had a point. He had clothes strewn across his bed and the floor, both dirty and clean from the hour he had spent trying to decide what to wear. There were two full ashtrays on his bedside table, next to an empty beer bottle from the night before. One of the posters that had lined the wall above his bed had fallen to the floor, crumpled next to the empty laundry basket in the corner.
“Whenever I can be arsed,” Was his reply. He lifted up one of the eyeshadow pallets he’d stolen from Sirius and dipped a brush into the silver glitter, spreading it carefully under Regulus’ eyes and giving the illusion of tears.
“Seriously, Bee, it’s unnerving.”
“Relax, Reg,” He sighed. “I’ll get around to it.”
A loud knock at the front door rang through the flat. Regulus glanced down at the clock that Barty had placed next to the mirror. “Shit, it’s almost seven.” He pushed himself off the floor and jogged through the flat to answer the door. “Bee, come here!”
Barty flicked the pallet closed and stood up, following Regulus’ voice to the living room area.
James was shrugging off his jacket, smiling softly at Regulus as he rambled on about how he hadn’t quite finished getting ready and that he needed a little more time.
“All good, love.” James interrupted Regulus’ rant. “We’re not in a rush.” He leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to his lips before his eyes flicked over to where Barty was standing. “Hi.”
Regulus spun around. “Right. Barty, James. James, Barty.”
“Nice to finally meet you.” James stuck out a hand.
Barty took it, a grin spreading slowly across his face. “Likewise.”
“Don’t you dare.” Regulus shot him a glare, the glitter under his eyes catching in the room’s artificial light.
“What? I didn’t do anything.” He held his hands up in surrender, the grin on his face unwavering.
“You were thinking about it. Don’t think about it.”
“I wouldn’t dare, love .”
Regulus just scowled and took his wrist to drag him back to his room. “You suck.”
“And swallow.” Barty’s grin widened.
“Jesus.”
It was less than five minutes before the three of them left the flat, settling into James’ car as he reversed out of the driveway. Regulus was connecting his phone to the aux cord almost immediately, earning no protest from James.
The two of them seemed to live easily in the presence of the other, it was honestly strange to see Regulus live in such harmony with another person. Every time he spoke, James would smile softly to himself, keeping his eyes on the road and only responding with short answers that kept Regulus talking for as long as possible.
It was frankly sickening.
Barty lifted his feet to rest them on the console that separated James and Regulus, reaching a hand into his pocket to pull out his cigarettes.
“Oi, Bambi?” He called out, tapping James’ left arm lightly with his foot.
“Bambi?” Regulus asked, twisting in his chair to show Barty his confused expression.
The latter shrugged. “He looks like a deer. Anyway, can I smoke in here?”
James glanced up at him through the rear-view mirror. “Sure. Reg does.”
“Wonderful.” Barty cracked open one of the windows and lit his cigarette, leaning his head back against the black leather chair behind him.
His phone buzzed in his pocket.

Barty snorted and slipped his phone back into his pocket. He reached out the window to tap off some of the excess ash on his cigarette before he lifted it to his mouth for a drag.
“What are you laughing at?” Regulus asked, not looking away from his phone.
“Just texting the love of my life,” Barty sighed, the corner of his mouth curling upwards.
Regulus turned, shifting his legs so he could face him comfortably. “Really? You’re still on that?”
James peered over at him through the rear-view mirror with a raised eyebrow, alternating between looking at him and the road. “Love of your life?”
Barty grinned, breathing smoke out through his nose. “Name’s Evan.”
“It’s some random number that Barty texted like three months ago,” Regulus added with a roll of his eyes. “Barty’s convinced they’ll fall in love.”
“You’re just a hater, Reggiekins.” Barty sat up, leaning between his and James’ chairs. “We’re already in love.”
Regulus raised his eyebrows at him. “Does Evan know about this?”
Barty rolled his eyes so hard it was truly a miracle they didn’t roll right out of his head. “What about you, Bambi? What do you think?”
James shrugged lightly, lifting his left hand off the gear stick to turn on the indicator. “I say pursue it.”
“What?” Regulus’ head snapped towards his boyfriend.
“What’s he got to lose?” The older man tapped Regulus’ leg twice, using his free hand to turn the car onto a street lined with expensive-looking houses. “It’s a bit of fun, no?”
“Uh, no ,” Regulus huffed. “Nothing’s ever just ‘a bit of fun’ with Bee. Something always goes wrong.”
“You have no faith in me.”
“Correct.”
James chuckled, turning into a driveway. “We’re here.”
Barty dropped his cigarette to the floor as he climbed out of the car and stumped it out with the tip of his beat-up docs. He looked up at the house, a large but simple building with ivy climbing up the sides and tangling together above the window frames.
“Bloody hell, Bambi,” Barty said, looking up at the house. “You’ve hit the jackpot, Reggie.”
James scoffed, locking his car and crossing the garden to the front door. “Acting like he doesn’t have the entire Black family fortune on his back.”
Regulus rolled his eyes. “I can’t access any of it until I’m eighteen.”
“Aw, shucks, what a sad life to lead.” Barty drawled sarcastically.
“Alright, alright,” James opened the door, the three of them immediately being hit by a wave of loud music and the unmistakable stench of alcohol.
Barty had barely stepped through the door before a pair of arms wrapped themselves around his and Regulus’ shoulders.
“You guys took forever!” Pandora exclaimed, squeezing them both tight. Barty’s hands fell to her waist, an instinct.
Her long, white braids were draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, a few pieces tangled in her silver waist chain. There was a bottle loosely held between her fingers that Barty could feel pressed against his back.
“Hey, Panda,” He grinned, poking her waist playfully.
James pressed a kiss to Regulus’ hair before turning to the group. “Gonna grab some drinks. Barty, what’s your go-to?”
“Anything that gets me drunk.”
The older man laughed. “Coming right up.” He weaved through the people that were gathered in the corridor and disappeared into a room on the left.
“Guys, guys,” Pandora stage-whispered, gesturing for the two of them to lean closer. “There’s this guy here—I don’t know where he’s gone—that I think Barty would hit.”
Regulus raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think so. Not whilst this Evan guy exists.”
Pandora shook her head wildly, dropping her arms from their shoulders. “Trust me. He’s his type to a fucking T.” She glanced over her shoulder quickly before leaning back in. “There’s another guy here that, honestly, I would hit.”
“Yeah?” Barty grinned. “What about that girl from the library?”
She scoffed, taking a swig of beer. “Driest texter ever. This guy’s funny, you’d like him.”
“He better not be an arsewipe like that guy from your art class,” Barty rolled his eyes. “Honestly, I should’ve hit him harder.”
“Drinks!” James exclaimed, holding three cups above his head so he could walk through the crowd without knocking them into anyone. He handed Barty and Regulus a cup each.
Barty looked into his, a pierced eyebrow shooting up. “This looks fucking radioactive. What is it?” He asked, staring at the bright blue liquid suspiciously.
James just grinned, bringing his own cup to his mouth. “You said you wanted to get drunk.” He weaved an arm around Regulus’ waist. “C’mon, love. You’re brother’s looking for you.”
Regulus responded with an exaggerated eye roll, though he followed James happily through the house.
Barty brought the drink closer to his face to smell it, reeling back almost immediately with his nose scrunched up. “Fuck me, that’s awful.”
“Oh, don’t go soft on me, Bee,” Pandora huffed. “Drink it!”
“Okay, okay,” He took a deep breath and knocked back the drink in one go. “Good God , my eyes hurt.”
Pandora grinned, grabbing his hand. “Let’s get you something to wash that down with.” She pulled him through the corridor and into the kitchen. Pushing past a large group of girls, Pandora took a beer from the drinks table and thrusted it into Barty’s hands.
“Hey! I love your piercings!” A girl caught Barty’s attention, gesturing to his snake bites. She had a few facial piercings herself; a septum and a ring in her right nostril, as well as a bar in her eyebrow. She had shoulder length blond hair, the tips dyed red like flames.
“Cheers.” He grinned, clapping his hand to hers when she stretched it out to him.
“I’m Marlene, this is Dorcas.” Marlene nodded her head to the girl next to her. Long braids were tied up into a bun on top of her head, a silver snake charm wrapped around one of the strands that framed her face.
“Barty. That’s Pandora,” He placed a hand on the small of her back.
“Barty?” Dorcas repeated, sharing a look with Marlene that Barty couldn’t decipher. “Do you guys go to our school?”
“Nah, we go to school with Sirius’ brother,” He shrugged before turning back to Marlene. “Your hair is sick as fuck, by the way.”
“No shit,” She laughed. “I like you, Barty.”
“Yes, well,” He imitated a hair flip. “It’s hard not to.”
Pandora scoffed. “Please, you’re literally the hardest person to form a bond with. Well, except Regulus.”
“You wound me, Dora.”
“You’ll survive.”
“Have either of you seen Sirius?” Barty asked, turning away from Pandora to look at Marlene and Dorcas instead. “I haven’t spoken to him yet.”
“Probably asleep already, the centenarian he is,” Marlene rolled her eyes. “I can’t believe he’s legally an adult. Him. An adult .”
Dorcas just laughed at her. “I think I saw him outside with Remus.”
“Oh, cheers,” Barty shot them a quick smile before he clutched onto Pandora’s hand and led her through the kitchen. There was a glass door on the far end, leading to the back garden, that was propped open using a small decorative elephant, a lamp held in its trunk.
The garden was as big as Barty expected. Flower beds lined the walls of the garden, filled with wildflowers, and two wisteria trees stood proud at the opposite end.
Sirius was laid back on his elbows in the middle of the grass, head tilted back towards the stars. Remus was next to him, watching fondly as two girls Barty didn’t recognise conversed excitedly beside them.
As he and Pandora approached, Sirius glanced down at them, a grin spreading wide across his face. “Hey!”
“Hey, Junior,” Remus spoke, eyes rimmed red. “Look at this.” He twisted his back to feel around the grass behind him before he turned back around, brandishing a deodorant can and a lighter.
“Why the fuck do you have that out here?” Barty asked, a laugh on the tip of his tongue. He glanced over at Pandora to see her reaction, but she was immersed in a conversation with the two girls that, frankly, was moving at a speed that Barty struggled to comprehend.
“Just watch.” Remus smirked. He lifted the lighter in front of the deodorant can and flicked them both on at the same time. Barty jumped out of the way just in time for the flame to blow out towards him, barely missing the fabric of his shirt.
Remus turned off the lighter and dropped the deodorant back onto the floor. “How sick is that?”
Barty stared at him for a beat before his face broke out into a grin. “You got cigarettes?”
The older man’s smile grew. “Fuck, yes. Here.” He pulled out a pack and handed one to Barty who then put it in his mouth and leaned forward, waiting for Remus to turn on his make-shift blowtorch.
The heat from the flames stung Barty’s cheeks slightly as he focused on the tip of his cigarette. It lit quickly, and he stepped back as Remus let go of the trigger again.
Barty grinned over his cigarette, blowing smoke out of his nose. “Fucking awesome.”
“Alright, my beautiful pyromaniac,” Sirius patted the side of Remus’ cheek. “Let’s not set Prongs’ garden on fire. Monty’d never forgive us.”
Remus just rolled his eyes, his lips curled upwards in a fond smile. He turned back to Barty as Sirius began to fiddle with his hands.
“How’s it going, Junior?”
“Can’t complain,” Barty shrugged, before narrowing his eyes at Remus’ overly relaxed expression. “Mate, are you high?”
Remus let out a loud laugh that told Barty all he needed to know. “Mayhaps.”
Barty snorted. “Alright. How’re A levels treating you?”
“Like dogshit,” He laughed again. “I haven’t slept properly in fucking forever. Got mocks in January.”
Barty frowned. “That’s two months away.”
“No rest for the wicked, Crouch.”
“I respect the grind, Lupin,” He said with a derisive snort.

Barty was ecstatic . He adored the feeling of being drunk. The gentle buzz in his veins, the quietness of his mind, the unsteadiness of his steps. He loved every second.
He was pushing his way across the kitchen, through the crowds of people that appeared to be dancing in slow motion. Pandora was still outside with the two girls that he’d later discovered were named Mary and Lily, and Barty hadn’t seen Regulus since they’d arrived.
Not that he cared much, though, he was perfectly content with drinking his thoughts away as he wandered through the house.
“Barty!” He spun around on his heel, tequila bottle in his hand, to see James waving him over to the living room.
He stumbled over, knocking his shoulder into the door frame as he did. “‘Sup, Bambi?”
“That drink did the trick, then?” James laughed, clapping his back.
Barty nodded lazily. “Did wonders.”
The older man grinned. “Reg was looking for you earlier.”
“Oh?” He raised his eyebrows. “Where is he?”
“Over there,” James pointed to the far corner of the room, where Regulus was sitting cross-legged on the floor and talking animatedly with two of James’ friends. “He’s a little out of it, too,” He added with a fond smile.
“Cheers, Bambi,” Barty bounded over, flopping himself onto the floor and dropping his head into Regulus’ lap. “Hey, Reggiekins.”
“Hi, Bee,” He smiled, patting his hair gently. “Where’ve you been?”
“Was with Dora outside,” He explained, closing his eyes. “Wanted another drink.”
Regulus pried the bottle out of his hands to take a sip. He gestured to the two people in front of them. “That’s Xenophilius, and that’s Peter.”
Barty pushed himself up into his elbows to wave at them. “Hello. I’m Barty.”
Peter tilted his head to the side. “Nice to meet you, Barty.”
His phone buzzed in his pocket so he dropped back into Regulus’ lap and shifted his weight until he could pull it out.

Barty huffed, dropping his phone onto his chest. Just then, Peter let out a snort, angling his phone towards Xenophilius.
“Look what Rosier just sent,” He said.
Xenophilius took the phone, eyes scanning across the screen. He huffed out a laugh, handing it back to Peter. “He honestly just needs to fuck him.”
“What is it?” Regulus asked, curiously leaning closer.
“Our friend texting some guy he knows,” Peter turned his phone around to show a screenshot that had been sent to a group chat, a glint in his eye as he watched Barty’s face carefully.

Barty could’ve sworn his heart stopped. He sat up, pushing away from Regulus’ lap, and grabbed the phone. Blinking away the fuzziness in his vision, he frowned.
“Reg,” He said, picking up his own phone and opening Evan’s chat. “Reg, look.”
Regulus peered over his shoulder at the phone, both of his eyebrows shooting up to his hairline. “No fucking way.”
“Everything okay?” Peter asked, though the smirk that played at his lips suggested he already knew what they were thinking.
Regardless, Barty spun both phones around, comparing the screenshot to his own chat.
Xenophilius’ jaw dropped, blond hair falling over his eyes as he leaned forward. “What? You’re that Barty?”
“I—uh,” He hesitated, his frown deepening. “I don’t—I don’t know?”
Barty bit down on his snake bites nervously, eyes flicking from one screen to the other as he tried to find just one inconsistency that suggested this wasn’t his Evan .
Regulus hooked his chin over his shoulder, analysing the chats with him. “Bee, I think it’s him.”
“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Barty cursed under his breath, a chill running down his arms and leaving goose bumps in its wake. “What do I do?” He looked up at Peter and Xenophilius. “You know him? You know Evan?”
Peter nodded, reaching to take back his phone. “We know Evan.”
“What do I—How do I—“ Barty cut himself off, eyes widening in realisation. “Is he here?”
Another nod.
Barty exhaled sharply, running both of his hands through his hair. He snatched the tequila bottle from Regulus’ hands, desperately needing his suddenly racing mind to quiet down again.
The music grew louder, his heart pounding in his ears in time with the beat. The bottle was empty. He felt too hot, and was suddenly too fucking aware of the metal bar that ran through his tongue.
“Bee, are you okay?” Regulus tapped his shoulder, trying to catch his eye.
Barty shook his head once. “I need a smoke.”
Regulus excused the two of them before quickly leading Barty out of the house. They were in the back garden before his brain had a chance to catch up. His best friend pulled his cigarettes from his pocket and lit two, placing one of them in Barty’s mouth and taking the other for himself.
“What was that?” He asked after Barty had managed a few puffs.
The older man shook his head, breathing smoke out through his nose. “Not a fucking clue. Everything was very—a lot, all of a sudden,” He took a deep breath. “Also—your boyfriend gave me some nuclear fucking drink, maybe it made me, like, panic-y or something.”
Regulus nodded, taking a drag. “Barty,” He started after a minute of silence. “I know you’ve been joking around these last few months, but I really think you like this guy.”
He shifted so that his arms were braced against the porch railing and let his head hang between them. “Really?” He let out a humourless laugh. “Didn’t fucking notice.”
“Are you going to go find him?” Regulus asked, blowing past his sarcastic comment.
“What?” Barty lifted his head back up to look at his best friend.
“Well, he’s here, right? James and Sirius probably know him.” Regulus shrugged. “Don’t you want to meet him?”
Barty turned to face the rest of the garden. Pandora was nowhere to be seen, neither were her new found friends. It was much darker now, a light haze of smoke covered the motion sensor lights on the house from their cigarettes.
He shrugged one shoulder, focusing his attention on tapping the ash off his cigarette. “I guess.”
“You don’t seem convinced.”
Another shrug. “What if he’s different in real life? Compared to online, I mean. That would suck.”
Regulus raised an eyebrow, dropping his cigarette to the floor to stump it out. “Only one way to find out, no?” He turned. “C’mon. It’s cold out here.”
Barty took one last drag from the cigarette before he put it out. He followed Regulus back into the kitchen and over to the drinks table where they found James and Remus.
Remus handed him a beer as soon as they were close enough. “Hey, Junior. You figured it out, huh?”
Barty sighed. “You knew?”
“We…we had a hunch.”
“We?”
“Pete and Sirius, too. Pete texted us just now that you’d figured it out.”
The younger man dragged a hand down his face slowly. “Of course.”
In the corner of his eye, Barty could see James greet Regulus. Arms dropping to his waist like they belonged there, a smile so wide that his eyes crinkled at the corners.
Regulus leaned up on his tiptoes to plant a kiss on his cheek, smiling just as wide as he whispered something that only James could hear.
It was then that a man passed by the drinks table. Barty watched him as he moved, the way his lips were curled downwards in disgust as he glared at Regulus and James. The way his shoulders were hunched forward, and the way his hair looked as though it was matted together with grease.
The man sneered. “Fucking faggot.”
James’ head snapped up at the sound of the man’s voice, eyebrows knitting into a tight scowl.
Barty was up in the man’s face before James had a chance to move, red hot anger bubbling in his gut. A furious combination of emotions rising to the surface, desperate for a way out. “The fuck did you just say, playboy?”
The man looked him up and down, scoffing with a roll of his eyes before trying to push past Barty. The latter grabbed hold of his arm to stop him from leaving. He dug his nails into his forearm, visibly bristling. “Arsehole, I asked you a question.”
The man’s scowl deepened. “I said ,” He spat, tearing his arm out of Barty’s grip. “That he’s a fucking faggot.”
Barty almost laughed in his face, practically giddy at the thought of pummelling this man’s face into the kitchen’s white tiles. He took a swig of his beer before handing the bottle to Regulus, who looked entirely too amused by the situation. He took a step back, curling his right hand into a fist, and swung forward. The skull ring on Barty’s middle finger landed square between the man’s eyebrows and he stumbled backwards into a group of unsuspecting dancers.
“What the fuck—“ The man regained his balance, swinging forward so that his fist connected with Barty’s right cheek.
The latter’s face split into a manic grin as he felt the warm dripping of blood from his nose. “I’m impressed, you greasy fuck. Didn’t really see you as the type, to be honest. Your form isn’t great, though, maybe you should try tucking your thumb in a bit more—“
He was cut off as the man swung again, hitting him in the exact same place. This only fueled Barty’s enjoyment and his grin grew impossibly wider. “Much better.”
The people around them scrambled to get out of the way just as the younger man lunged forwards again, backhanding him across the face so hard that his head snapped back and hit against the wall behind him. He collapsed to the ground, a puppet with no strings, but Barty wasn’t done.
“Shit, Barty—“ James started to move towards them, but Regulus placed a hand to the centre of his chest to stop him from intervening.
He swung once, twice, a third time, feeling the man’s nose crack beneath his knuckles and hearing the way he cried out in pain. He straightened up, resting his right boot on the man’s chest and pressing down hard. Regulus passed him his beer back and he chugged the rest of it down before launching the bottle to the ground, shit-eating grin widening further as it smashed next to the man’s head.
Barty kneeled down, grabbing the man’s collar and using it to lift the upper part of his body off the floor so that their faces were merely inches away. He switched his expression to a look so cold that even his father would cower from it.
“If you even think about disrespecting my best friend or his boyfriend ever again, I swear to you, I’ll make you wish you were never born,” He spoke through gritted teeth. “I don’t know who you are, but trust me when I say you have no fucking clue of what I’m capable of doing to you. I am my father’s son, cunt .”
Barty dropped the man’s collar and watched as his head slammed against the tiled floor. “Pleasure doing business with you.” He stood up and walked back to his friends, leaning over to grab another beer and tearing the cap off with his teeth. He took a long gulp.
Remus turned to him, mouth slightly agape. “Bloody hell, Junior.”
James kept his eyes narrowed on the man on the floor, watching as he struggled to stand up. “You—why did you—what the fuck?”
“What?”
“Why?”
Barty shrugged, bringing the bottle back to his lips. “People aren’t allowed to disrespect Reggie, Potter.” He tapped his temple twice with the neck of his bottle. “Keep that in mind, yeah?”
“Right,” James nodded, more to himself than to anyone else. “Okay, well. Do you need ice?”
Barty brought his hand up to his nose, his fingertips becoming slick with blood. “Probably.”
“Love, take him to my bathroom, I’ll be up in a second.”
Regulus hooked his arm around Barty’s, leading him out of the kitchen. “My knight in shining armour,” He exhaled dramatically, pretending to swoon.
Barty smirked. “My damsel.”
Regulus snorted, lightly elbowing Barty’s side. “Thanks, Bee. Pandora’s going to kill you, though.”
The bloodied victor sighed, letting himself be dragged up the stairs by Regulus. “She’ll understand.”
“Sure, Bee. Sure.”
Pandora did not, in fact, understand.
Regulus had left Barty in the bathroom to help James, and he had barely been in there for one minute, feet swinging below him as he sat on the counter next to the sink when Pandora stormed in, the door practically flying off its hinges.
She grabbed his face between her hands, inspecting his injuries closely and frowning each time he winced.
She leaned back, slapping his chest. “What the fuck were you thinking?” She chastised. “You have got to stop picking fights with random people. You don’t know how strong they are, you’re going to get yourself fucking killed.”
Barty just sighed, leaning his head back against the mirror. “Panda, I’m fine. I survived my father, I can survive some homophobic little shit stain at a high school party.”
Pandora scowled, ignoring the door as it opened behind her. “Smettila, Bee. Non è uno scherzo del cazzo. If you keep this shit up and die, I’ll fucking kill you.”
“Sto bene,” He assured her, smiling as much as he could with his cheek throbbing. “Lo prometto.”
She held eye contact with him for a moment longer before sighing and stepping out of the way so James could hand him an ice pack. “Honestly, Barty, I’m not worried about your cheek. Just keep the pack on your hand.” He lifted said hand to examine his knuckles, gently brushing over where there were bruises forming. “I doubt Snivellous hits hard enough to cause any real damage.”
Barty scrunched up his nose. “His name is Snivellous?”
“Well,” James laughed. “No. His name’s Severus Snape but no one likes him enough to call him his actual name. Sirius came up with Snivellous back in year seven.”
“Good man,” Barty nodded, jumping down from the counter.
“Wait,” James stopped him as he moved towards the door, Pandora following behind. “Evan asked about you.”
“He—what?”
“Well, not by name. He asked about the ‘hot Footlocker guy that just beat the shit out of Snivellous’.” He corrected himself.
Barty’s eyebrows shot up. “ I’m hot Footlocker guy?”
James cocked his head to the side. “You know hot Footlocker guy?”
Pandora blinked. “What the hell have I missed? Evan’s here? As in your Evan?”
“I’ll explain it all in a bit, I just—“ He turned back to James. “Does he know who I am?”
The older man shrugged. “I don’t know. He just asked about the guy that beat up Snape. Didn’t mention your name.”
“What did you say?”
“I just told him you were Regulus’ friend.”
Barty let out a harsh breath through his nose. “Okay—okay well. Now what?”
James shrugged again. “It’s your choice, Junior.”
“I hate that,” Barty huffed. “Where’s Reg? I need a consultation.”
“Living room.”
Barty bolted from the bathroom, Pandora hot on his tail. There were a million thoughts shooting through his head, and not a single one of them made sense to him.
He’d always been so fucking sure of himself, and even when he wasn’t he was amazing at pretending that he was. So why was Barty so nervous?
The most obvious reason was that Evan wasn’t Evan. That he portrayed himself differently online to how he actually was. What if Barty approached him, and was met with an entirely different person? Yeah, that would suck.
On the other hand, Barty had met most of Evan’s friends, and they all seemed to be fairly likeable people. Surely they wouldn’t be friends with a complete arsewipe, right?
Barty was shaken from his thoughts when Pandora gripped his shoulder, pulling him to a stop before they reached the bottom of the stairs.
“Are you sure it’s him?” She asked tentatively.
Barty nodded. “I think so. Like, everything points to the fact that it is.”
“So, are you going to introduce yourself to him?”
“I don’t know. I’m really fucking nervous for some reason.”
She frowned, tilting her head in a way that made her braids fall over her shoulder. “You’re never nervous.”
“I know. I don’t—” He sighed, turning to face her properly. “I think I really like him, Dora. It’s utterly fucking ridiculous because I’ve never even met the guy, but, ah—you know when you like someone’s personality? I guess it’s like that.”
Pandora nodded in understanding. “I know what you mean, but that all sounds quite nice? What is it that you’re afraid of?”
“That he’s different online compared to in person,” Barty shook his head. “I mean, like a catfish, I guess?”
Pandora took a step down. “Why don’t we have this conversation with Reg?”
They reached the bottom of the stairs and made a beeline for the living room. Regulus was lounging on the large L-shaped sofa, surrounded by Sirius’ friends.
The party was much less crowded now. It was past midnight and people had started to leave, taxis and parents lining the street outside. This made it much easier to cross the room to Regulus.
“Hey, you’re alive!” He exclaimed, holding out Barty’s unfinished bottle.
He took it, looking around nervously. He didn’t know who here was friends with Evan, and honestly he wasn’t in the mood for taking a chance. “James ha detto che Evan ha chiesto di me.”
“Oh?” Regulus sat up as Barty and Pandora situated themselves on the floor in front of the sofa.
“Sì. L’hai visto?”
Regulus shook his head. “Non so che aspetto abbia.”
“Calmati, Bee,” Pandora rested her hand on his arm. “Va bene.”
Barty let out a loud groan, burying his face into his hands. “For fuck’s sake, this is not that deep.”
Pandora moved her arm to his back. “It’s okay to feel nervous, we’re just trying to help you realise that you don’t need to be.”
Looking up, Barty shot her a grateful smile before he pushed himself off the floor. “I’m going to get a smoke. I’ll talk to you guys later.”
Without waiting for a response, he left the living room, dodging around the last few people that were milling about the stairs and crossed the kitchen to the garden.
There were two deck chairs to the right of him on the wooden porch, a white table separating them. He flopped down on the one closest to the door and lit his cigarette. He huffed, realising he’d left his drink inside and reached into his pocket to pull out his phone instead.
He scanned over the notifications that covered his lock screen, eyes catching on a few texts from Evan.
evan 🤭 18 min ago
the hot guy just beat the shit out of…
evan 🤭 18 min ago
i wanna go talk to him
evan 🤭 18 min ago
hes always w friends dammit
evan 🤭 1 min ago
shit he just went outside by himself
evan 🤭 1 min ago
im going im going
Barty felt his heart drop into his stomach. He lifted his gaze from his phone just in time to see the half-closed glass door open slowly.
Evan stepped onto the polished wood and Gods , the picture he’d sent all those weeks ago didn’t do him justice.
Blond dreadlocks hung over his eyes, dread beads scattered throughout. He wore a baggy green shirt which had tears running across his chest and stomach, one below his collar, and another on his shoulder. A few tattoos peaked through the gaps that were likely widespread across his body, but Barty couldn’t quite tell what they were. His trousers were a washed-out grey colour that hung low on his hips and were baggy enough to almost entirely cover his shoes.
There was a silver hoop in his left nostril, a matching bar running through his right eyebrow. He had a vertical labret, and Barty startled himself with the very sudden urge to walk up to him and bite .
“Hi,” He spoke, catching Barty’s eye. “I’m—“
“Evan,” Barty breathed, smoke curling into the cold air of the night.
Evan’s eyebrows fell into a frown. “How did you—“ His gaze caught on Barty’s phone on the chair beside him, unlocked and open on their chat. His eyes widened. “Barty?”
The younger man forced a smirk onto his face to replace the shock that he felt. “I’m hot Footlocker guy?”
Evan opened and closed his mouth a few times, seemingly at a loss for words. He let out a long breath. “I—“
Barty tilted his head to the side innocently, taking a long drag from the cigarette. “Cat got your tongue, Rosie?”
Evan furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “How do you know my last name?”
“Peter,” He replied with a shrug.
Evan leaned back against the door until it shut with a soft click . He stared at Barty, his eyes darting between his face and his unlocked phone. “Did you know?” He asked after a long moment of silence.
Barty shook his head, bringing the cigarette back to his lips. “Not until like an hour ago,” He said on an exhale.
“Oh,” The older man took a tentative step forward. “Hi.”
Barty cocked an eyebrow. “You said that already.”
“I don’t know what else to say.”
Barty leaned forward to rest his elbows on his knees, tapping the ash off the tip of his cigarette. “You’re even hotter in person, Rosie.”
He smirked. “You think I’m hot?”
“Don’t even try,” Barty rolled his eyes. “I just found out that I’m the guy you’ve been irrevocably obsessed with for the last few months.”
“Nope,” Evan quickly shook his head. “No, you’re not.”
Barty’s eyebrows shot up. “Yeah? Let’s see, shall we?” He picked up his phone and scrolled through Evan’s chat. “From just twenty minutes ago; ‘the hot guy just beat the shit out of this wank from my class’.” He locked his phone, laying it faced down on the table. “Something tells me that you, sir, think I’m hot.”
Evan bit down on his vertical labret, a smile threatening to take over his face.
“Not that you can be blamed,” Barty continued, blowing smoke through his nose as he talked, pointedly not looking at the older man’s mouth. “It’s hard not to.”
Another step closer. “Hm, I can imagine.”
Barty stood up so they were face to face, just an arm’s length apart. “I told you I was the love of your life.”
The older man huffed out a soft laugh. “We’ll see.”
“We’ll see?” Barty raised his eyebrows, a pleased smile crossing his features.
Evan just hummed, nodding down at the cigarette. “Got any more of those?”
“Last one.” Shaking his head, Barty lifted his right hand, brandishing the smoke in front of Evan’s face. The latter raised an eyebrow, but Barty just smirked. “Go on.”
Leaning down slightly, Evan closed his lips around the tip of the cigarette, inhaling slowly and all the while maintaining steady eye contact with Barty.
When Evan leaned back again, a satisfied glint in his eye, he blew out the smoke through the corner of his mouth, watching as it danced between the small space between them.
Lord, he was beautiful .
Just as Barty opened his mouth to speak, the door to the house swung open again, this time with James stumbling out.
“Junior, are you—Rosier?”
Evan took a step back from Barty, shoving his hands into his pockets and turning to James. “Hey, Cap.”
With a poor attempt to hide his smile, James laughed. “Well. Okay, then,” He pointed at Barty. “Are you staying here tonight?”
He shrugged, flicking the cigarette stump out into the garden. “What’d Reg say?”
“He wants to stay.”
“I guess I’m staying, then.”
“Great,” James then turned his attention to Evan. “Marls is looking for you. Her mum wants her back.”
“Alright.”
James lingered for a moment longer, eyes darting between the two of them before he slipped back through the door and further into the house.
Evan shifted his weight, slowly beginning to walk backwards. “I’m, uh—I’m driving Marlene back, so.”
The corner of Barty’s lip curled up in a smile. “Addio, amore mio.”
Evan faltered in his steps, wide eyes meeting Barty’s. “I forgot you speak Italian.”
Letting out a snort, Barty shrugged. “Text me?”
“Bien sûr,” The older man winked, turning around and calling over his shoulder. “Salut.”
“Was that—“ Barty stepped towards Evan as he opened the door. “Was that French ?”
Evan just shrugged, his smile practically splitting his face in two. “Bye, Barty.” He slipped through the door, leaving Barty on the porch as he stared at the place he had once stood.
“What the fuck,” Barty muttered to himself, shaking his head slightly and beginning to move to the door.
Eyes catching the kitchen window that looked out at the garden, Barty saw Sirius and James staring at him, matching grins on their faces. When they realised he had spotted them, they startled, practically tripping over each other to hide from him.
“What the fuck?” He repeated, this time followed by a short laugh.
He re-entered the house, rolling his eyes at Sirius, who had been tackled by James and was desperately trying to gain the upper hand, and made a beeline for the living room.
Regulus and Pandora were in the same place they’d been in when he left them. They looked up at him expectantly when he returned.
Regulus broke the silence first. “So, the blond guy that followed you out there…?”
Barty groaned, dramatically falling onto the sofa beside him. “That was Evan. I just met Evan .”
Pandora clapped her hands excitedly. “Finally! Was he nice? Did he talk to you? Is he the same as he is online?”
“Slow down, Dora,” Regulus shushed her before turning to Barty. “But, yeah, was he?”
“He was French ,” Barty stressed, throwing a hand over his eyes. “He was fucking French.”
His friends, both of whom were fluent in French, stared at him with blank looks on their faces. “So?” Regulus asked, eyebrow raised.
Barty leaned up on his elbows and fixed him with a deadpan look. “It’s like when you found out James was fluent in Spanish and Hindi.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah,” Barty lay down flat again. “Fuck me, he’s so much hotter in person.”
“But is he nice?”
“I don’t know, Pan, I wasn’t exactly thinking straight whilst he was breathing smoke in my face, was I?”
“Jesus,” Regulus rolled his eyes. “You are a truly pathetic man.”
“Oh yeah?” Barty challenged, sitting up to poke Regulus in the shoulder. “James Potter, fresh out of the shower, only a towel around his waist.”
“Fuck off,” Regulus hissed, though the light blush dusting his cheeks gave him away. Barty smirked, but before he could respond, someone approached the group.
“Hey,” The redheaded girl, Lily, that Pandora had been speaking to smiled. “Barty, right?”
“Yeah,” Barty reached over to shake her outstretched hand.
“I’m Lily. I just wanted to tell you how much respect you earned from literally all of us,” She sat down next to Pandora. “Beating the shit out of Snape is something we’ve all wanted to do. Especially Sirius and James.”
Barty snorted. “Yeah, he had a very punchable face. If you don’t mind, what did he do to you guys?”
“He’s just a dickhead, really,” She fiddled with the ring on her middle finger. “I used to be friends with him back in primary, but I came out to him when we were fourteen. He insisted that he could ‘fix me’, and then called me a slur when I refused.”
“James has had it out for him ever since,” She continued. “Almost ran him over with his car a couple of weeks ago.”
“Why didn’t he go through with it?” Pandora asked with a light laugh.
“Remus managed to convince him that he wouldn’t be able to see Regulus if he went to prison.” Lily smiled, looking at where James and Sirius were fighting each other for the last bottle of vodka.
Regulus rolled his eyes, a small smirk playing at his lips. “He’s so stupid.”
As though he could sense the topic of their conversation, James bounded over, Sirius following closely behind.
He hopped onto the sofa next to Regulus, gathering the younger man in his arms as he grinned at Barty. “So,” He prompted, resting his chin on Regulus’ shoulder.
“So, what?” Barty quizzed.
“What do you think of our young Mr. Rosier?” Sirius asked, plopping himself down on Barty’s other side.
“He thinks he’s hot and French,” Pandora supplied, rather unhelpfully. “What?” She shrugged at Barty’s glare. “That’s all you’ve said about him so far.”
Barty just rolled his eyes, surrendering himself to Sirius’ teasing as he lay his head down in Regulus’ lap.

Barty leaned forward, forearms braced on the steel barriers, and scanned the football pitch in front of him. There was a scattering of red jerseys across the grass, but not a single one of them stood out to him.
Evan’s school was bigger than Barty would’ve ever expected. It was a private school, and the people in the crowd around him ranged from age thirteen to eighteen, all of them eager to watch their Sixth Form’s first football game of the year.
Regulus and Pandora were beside him, along with the rest of Evan and James’ friends. Mary had managed to reserve enough space at the front of the stands for the group, so they were practically on the field itself.
In his peripheral, Barty could see James jogging towards them, a jersey loose in his hand and a lopsided grin on his face as he bounded over.
“Hey, Reg,” He greeted, leaning over the barrier to press a kiss to Regulus’ cheek before turning to Barty, eyebrows raised. “Dressed to impress, Crouch?”
Barty smirked, glancing down at himself. Deep green cargo trousers that hung low on his waist, a slightly cropped black shirt that fit a little too snug, black combat boots, a cropped leather jacket with a snake embroidered on the back, and enough jewellery for him to walk the line of just enough and downright slutty. Yeah, he was dressed to impress.
“You haven’t seen him, have you?”
James nodded over to the locker rooms. “He’s helping Marls with her hair. Wanted me to give you this.” He held out the jersey.
Barty took it, letting it unravel in his hands. Rosier stared back at him in large gold letters, just above the number 7 . He grinned and shrugged off his jacket, handing it over to Regulus so he could wear the jersey.
Turning to Pandora, he wiggled his eyebrows. “What do you think, Dora?”
“Suits you.” A voice from behind him made his grin widen and he spun around to lean over the barrier again.
“Hey, Rosie,” Barty smirked. “What do you think?”
“I think it’s nice,” Evan rested his elbows on the barrier, leaning forward just enough to hook his finger around one of Barty’s necklaces and tug . “S’good colour on you.”
Barty hummed and allowed himself to be pulled closer, lightly tracing the visible tattoos on Evan’s arms. “Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Good God,” Regulus rolled his eyes. “Get a fucking room, please.”
James let out a hearty laugh, pressing a kiss to his boyfriend’s knuckles before moving away and clapping a hand against Evan’s shoulder. “Come on, Romeo. We gotta go.”
“Coming, Cap.” The blonde man replied, though he made no effort to move. Eyes boring into Barty’s, he tilted his head ever so slightly. “Wish me luck?”
“Good luck, Rosie,” Barty grinned, leaning back when Evan’s finger untangled itself from his chain. He blew the older man a kiss, a feeling of satisfaction running through him at Evan’s barely suppressed smile as he followed James over to where their team was huddled.
“Bloody hell, Crouch,” Mary let out a loud laugh, patting him on the back. “Got him wrapped around your finger already.”
Barty just grinned, eyes following Evan as he jogged over to quickly talk to their goalie. “Hook, line and sinker, Mcdonald.”
The game began, not that Barty knew what the fuck was going on, but he was enjoying himself nonetheless. Between there being an unlimited supply of beers and the view of Evan sprinting around the pitch, Barty was kept very entertained.
Just before halftime, Regulus excused himself for the bathroom, pushing his way through the crowd behind him. As soon as he left, a girl took his place, leaning on the barriers next to Barty.
She had long, black hair that fell to her waist, and held herself with an elegance that Barty honestly didn’t care for.
“Who are you?” She asked, a perfectly plucked eyebrow raised in his direction.
“Who’s asking?” Barty countered, eyes never leaving Evan as he jogged over to James, the two of them speaking to each other at lightning speed.
“Aurora Greengrass,” The girl, Aurora, held out a manicured hand. Her wrist was adorned with delicate looking bracelets, and her fingers housed two gold rings.
Barty tore his eyes away from Evan to glance down wearily at her hand. He removed one of his hands from where his beer bottle was dangling between his fingers and reached out to shake it. “Barty Crouch.”
Aurora’s eyebrows raised in mild surprise. “As in—Crouch Enterprise?”
Barty took a swig of his drink as he shook his head, focusing back on the pitch. “My dad. Not me.”
She accepted this answer, falling silent beside him for a few, precious seconds, before opening her mouth again. “You’re wearing Evan’s jersey.”
“Astute observation.”
“ Why are you wearing Evan’s jersey?”
“Why?” Barty repeated, shifting his attention to her once again. “He gave it to me.”
“Hm.” Aurora hummed, not sounding convinced at all. Her eyes lit up at something over Barty’s shoulder. “Sirius!” She exclaimed, waving excitedly.
The halftime whistle blew and Sirius looked over, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. When he saw Aurora, he barely suppressed a groan. “Greengrass,” He nodded instead and squeezed Barty’s shoulder.
“Can you believe that this guy is wearing Evan’s jersey?” She laughed, high-pitched and shrill.
Sirius winced. “What do you want, Greengrass?”
Aurora brushed off his tone, trailing a finger gently up Barty’s arm. He shuddered. “Just came over to make it known that Evan’s mine.” She smiled sweetly.
Barty turned to glare at her, gripping her wrist tight. His rings dug into her arm and she frowned. “Hands off or I’ll have you laid out faster than you can fucking blink,” He murmured, dropping her wrist.
She scoffed. “What? You think I’m afraid of you just because you hit Severus at that party?” Severus . James had said that no one actually used his real name. She was friends with the git.
“Frankly, I don’t care what you think of me,” He shrugged, turning back to the pitch to find that both teams had retreated to the locker rooms. “You don’t have to believe me, just don’t be surprised when you’re lying unconscious on the grass.”
Sirius patted his shoulder before moving away, clearly having decided that Barty could handle himself.
“Excuse me, who do you think you are?” Aurora scowled. “Do you know who my father is?”
Barty heaved out an exhausted sigh, turning to her once more. “No, and I don’t care. But you know my father. And you know the Blacks, yes?”
She nodded, eyes narrowing cautiously.
“Well then, I take it you know their cruelty,” He continued, fingers tightening around the bottle. “And let me tell you, I’ve been around the Blacks long enough to have practically been raised by Walburga, the dreadful woman. I may have even learned a thing or two.”
Aurora’s eyes widened slightly, a flash of fear behind her pupils.
“Walburga’s blood may not run through my veins, but if she taught me anything, it was how to knock a bitch on their arse in one swift punch. Want me to demonstrate?” A smirk played at Barty’s lips, just as it always did.
“Hey?” A familiar voice sounded on the other side of the barrier, and Barty turned to meet Evan’s confused expression.
“Hey, Rosie,” Barty grinned, voice practically dripping with honey as Aurora scowled at him.
“Hey,” Evan approached slowly, a bead of sweat running down his temple and his chest heaving from the game. “What—are you okay?”
Barty waved him off. “Perfectly fine. Aurora, here was just letting me know that you belong to her.”
Evan’s face contorted from confusion to exasperation. He turned to Aurora, whose cheeks were covered in a light dusting of blush. “Greengrass, please.”
She simply rolled her eyes. “Whatever, Evan. You’ll see.” Spinning on her heel, she disappeared back into the crowd.
Evan shook his head and reached over the barrier to hook a finger through one of Barty’s belt hoops, pulling him until his hips were flush with the metal. “I need a fucking restraining order from her.”
Barty raised an eyebrow, his smirk returning. “Too hot to handle, eh, Rosie?”
“Shut up.”
“So, how’s the game? Are you winning?”
Evan tilted his head. “You're not watching it?”
Barty chuckled. “I have no interest in football, I think we both know that’s not why I’m here.”
“So, why are you here?” Evan’s voice was low, only for Barty to hear.
“Well, there’s this guy on your team that caught my attention.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. He’s awfully distracting, running across the pitch like that in his too-tight shirt,” Barty pulled down the top of Evan’s jersey to expose his tattooed collarbone, emphasising his words. “So no, I have no idea what’s going on in the game.”
“Yes, that does sound quite distracting,” Evan agreed, leaning into Barty’s touch. “I’ll have to talk to this team member. Know his name?”
“I know him as ‘E’,” He grinned, recalling the nickname that Evan had provided when they first started texting.
“I’ll have a word with him for sure,” Evan shot him a wink, untangling his fingers from Barty’s belt loops. “I do, however, have to go before Cap rips my head off.”
Barty released his shirt, stepping back. “Bye, Rosie.”
“Bye, Bee.”
Barty watched Evan jog back over the pitch, his cleats kicking up the dirt behind him as he made his way over to the locker rooms. One of his teammates was waiting for him outside the door. He gestured in Barty’s direction before nudging Evan in the ribs. The older man just scoffed, shoving his teammate away and pushing open the locker room doors.
“Stop staring at him,” Regulus’ voice appeared to his right.
Barty rolled his eyes. “Where have you been?”
“Went to the bathroom, bumped into James,” He shrugged. “Got distracted.”
“Okay, ew,” Barty waved him off. “That’s enough.”
“You asked.”
“Fuck off.”
Regulus flicked his ear. “James asked if we wanted a ride to his after this. Apparently it’s tradition for some of their group to go to his house after their games.”
“Will Evan be there?”
“Oh my God, you’re pathetic, I don’t know.”
“Dorcas said he usually goes,” Pandora sidled up to them, pressing into Barty’s side. He wrapped an arm around her waist to hold her close.
“See?” He raised an eyebrow at Regulus. “She’s a good friend.”
“If only I liked you enough to care,” Regulus drawled.
Barty turned to Pandora, an affronted look on his face. “Do you see this? I refuse to take this abuse.”
“Good, then piss off.”
“Be nice, Reggie,” Pandora chided him. “Are you guys going to James’ or not?”
“We are,” Regulus nodded. “Dora, how’s it going with Xeno?”
Pandora loosened her grip around Barty’s shoulder to look over at Xeno. He was with Lily, laughing at something she’d said as they pointed to the locker rooms.
She let out a sigh. “I honestly don’t know. He acts like he likes me, but then he seems to realise that he’s flirting and he just—he gets all shy again.”
Barty followed her gaze to watch him carefully. “If he leads you on or hurts you, I’ll kill him.”
“I know,” Pandora smiled. “Thank you, but it’s unnecessary. I just need him to be a little more forward.”
Barty hummed thoughtfully. “Leave it to me, Panda.”
Regulus shot him a sideways glance just as the players filtered back onto the field. “I wouldn’t trust him, Dora.”
“I don’t know,” She ruffled Barty’s hair. “I’m intrigued.”
“It’s your funeral,” Regulus shrugged, fully turning his attention to the pitch.
—
The game had ended—Barty still had no fucking clue what had happened, but Evan’s team had won, so he didn’t really care.
He, Regulus, Pandora, Dorcas and Xenophilius were huddled together in the car park waiting for Marlene, James and Evan. Sirius and Remus had gone ahead so they could pick up snacks, and had said that they would rendezvous at James’ house.
“How long are they going to take? It’s fucking freezing.” Regulus huffed, shoving his hands under Barty’s jersey.
Barty hissed as his cold fingers touched his skin, but made no move to push him away. “Fuck me, your hands are cold.”
“I don’t give a shit. You’re warm.” Regulus bit back.
“Oi, Crouch, hands off!” James’ voice carried across the car park.
Barty turned, hands raised in surrender to see the three players walking towards the group. “Does it look like I’m fucking touching him? Been there, done that. I’m all good.”
“Been there— what ?” James repeated, eyes widening. He jogged the rest of the way to them and dropped his duffle bag on the floor so he could pull Regulus away. “Been there, done nothing, Crouch.”
Barty just let out a loud laugh. “Chill out, Jim, he’s all yours.”
James shook his head, silent laughter playing on his lips. “Okay, so we’ll split between my car and Cas’ car?” He suggested.
Barty turned to Evan. “Didn’t drive in?”
“I did, I just—uh,” The older man lifted up his phone to show Barty, his father’s name flashing across the screen. “Gotta go home first. I’ll meet you guys there, though.”
—
Barty had been at James’ for almost an hour before Evan showed up.
He was watching, amused, as Sirius and James warbled their way through You’re The One That I Want from Grease , when Evan walked into the living room, one hand in his jacket pocket, and the other clutching his phone.
He’d changed out of his clothes from the game and his dreads were tied up in a half-up-half-down style.
“Ev!” Dorcas exclaimed when he was close enough. “Nice of you to join us.”
Evan let out a humourless laugh. “Sorry. Dad was—well, he was being him, I guess,” He shrugged, flopping down next to Barty’s bent legs on James’ sofa. “What’s happening?”
“Sirius and James are confessing their love for each other.” Remus replied with a smirk.
“So nothing new, then,” Evan concluded before tilting his head in Barty’s direction. “Hi.”
“Hey, Rosie.”
“Still wearing the jersey, huh?” He pinched the fabric between his fingers, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.
“Wouldn’t dare take it off,” Barty shook his head. “Who do you take me for?”
Evan laughed. “Of course, my bad, I apologise.”
Barty broke into a grin before he winced, eyes scrunching closed as the pain from his new smiley piercing shot through his mouth.
“You okay?” Evan asked, concern crossing his features.
Barty hummed, lifting his lip up to show off the piercing. “Hurts like a bitch.”
“Still can’t believe you did that,” He said quietly, eyes locked on Barty’s lips. He tapped the bridge of his own nose. “And that one.”
“You like ‘em?” Barty smirked.
“Hm,” Evan nodded slightly. “I like ‘em.”
“I like yours, too,” Barty reached his hand out to hook his forefinger under Evan’s chin and pressed his thumb down gently on his vertical labret. The older man stared at him curiously, but let him tug at his lower lip. “This one’s my favourite.”
“Yeah?”
Barty hummed distractedly. “How long have you had it?”
“Not long. Just under a year, I think.”
“Does—does your dad let you get them? And the tattoos.” The younger asked, letting his hand fall away from his face.
Evan shook his head. “Used to go fucking ballistic. He doesn’t care as much now; I think he can feel me pulling away.”
“And he doesn’t mind?”
He shrugged. “I honestly think I’m doing us both a favour. I don’t really think he ever wanted kids.”
“I get that,” Barty heaved out a sigh. “I—“
He was cut off as Xenophilius approached, passing Evan a water bottle and shooting Barty a quick smile. He disappeared from the living room, following James and Remus’ voices in the kitchen. Barty hadn’t even noticed they’d left.
Glancing around the room, he realised that he and Evan were the only two people left.
He looked back at the other man, only to find that his gaze had never left him.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Shoot,” Evan replied.
“What’s the deal with Xenophilius?”
The older man frowned, shifting so his body was facing Barty. “The deal?”
“Yeah. Is he single?”
Evan smirked, his eyes glittering playfully. “And here I thought you only had eyes for me.”
Barty scoffed. “Not like that. Does he like Pandora or not?”
“Oh,” Realisation washed over Evan’s face. “Well, yeah. He doesn’t know it yet, though.”
“He doesn’t—how can he not know?”
Evan moved to rest his elbow on the back of the sofa, using his hand to keep his head propped up. “Xeno isn’t the most…in touch with his feelings. He knows that he thinks she’s pretty, and he knows he likes to be around her, but that’s about it. He hasn’t quite clocked that he should ask her out.”
Barty nodded in understanding, eyes straying to the doorway Xenophilius had gone through. “If he leads her on, I swear to God.”
“He won’t,” Evan assured him. “He’ll realise it soon enough.”
“I know he’s your friend, but if he does, Reggie and I will kill him.”
Evan smiled softly, and Barty immediately decided that that was his favourite sight. “That honestly doesn’t surprise me.”
“Good. It shouldn’t.”
Regulus peeked his head around the door. “Come choose your snacks.”
Evan stood up first, straightening his trousers before he reached out a hand for Barty.
The latter smirked, taking his hand and standing up. “What a gentleman,” He teased, following Regulus through the house.
The three of them entered the kitchen. The table was practically overflowing with the snacks that Sirius and Remus had bought, and everyone was picking at what they wanted as they talked.
James was hunched over the table, trying to open a jar of pickles. His jaw was clenched, jar pressed into his abdomen as he tried to twist the lid.
Regulus rolled his eyes at his boyfriend and pinched the jar from his hands. He walked over to the stove, flicking it to life and hovered the jar’s rim over the flames. After a minute, he turned off the hob and grabbed a tea towel. He laid it over the lid and twisted it, smirking as it came off easily.
James gaped at him. “You’re so smart, love.” He reached for the jar and spun around to grab himself a fork. As he did, he held the jar at such an angle that some of the pickle juice fell out and landed directly on the jersey Barty was wearing.
“Fucking hell, Potter,” He cursed, looking down.
“Shit, sorry, Junior,” James gestured to a shut door at the back of the kitchen. “Washing machine’s in there if you want to use it.”
Barty grabbed the collar of the jersey and tugged it over his head. He turned it around to look at the stain up close before sighing and crossing the room to the washing machine.

“Jim, how the fuck do you work this thing?” Barty called out to the kitchen after about a minute of eyeing the machine.
James sauntered in, chewing through a mouthful of pickles. He opened a cupboard to the left of the machine and pulled out a box of Tide pods, throwing one in with the jersey. He slammed the door shut and pressed a few buttons.
The older man turned to Barty as the machine began to groan. “You don’t know how to use a washing machine?”
“Why the fuck would I know how to do that?”
“You’ve lived alone for the last year?”
Barty waved him off. “Reg does the washing.”
James snorted. “No he doesn’t. He makes Pads do it.”
Barty gasped, hand covering his chest in exaggerated shock. “What a lying little shit.”
James just smiled softly; a stupid, love-struck smile that made Barty chuckle. He followed the older man back into the kitchen and watched with a mixture of disgust and fondness as he approached Regulus from behind. Pressing his chest into his back, he leaned down slightly to whisper in his ear.
“Hey, baby.”
Barty couldn’t see Regulus’ face, but he could imagine it was just as fond. He reached up behind him to stroke a hand through James’ hair, not looking up from the array of snacks in front of him.
“Hi, Sun,” His voice was gentle, more so than Barty had ever heard it. “You okay?”
James hummed, burying his nose in Regulus’ hair.
Barty looked to his left just in time to watch Sirius fake gag, using Remus’ jumper to wipe at his eyes. “Good fucking God , can’t get any fucking peace around here.”
Regulus pulled himself from James’ grip with an exaggerated eye roll. “Shut the fuck up. I’ve walked in on you and Remus making out far too many times for you to have an issue with this.”
“Garce,” Sirius cursed, scowling at his brother.
“Salope,” Regulus countered, raising an eyebrow.
“Va te faire foutre, petite merde.”
Regulus rolled his eyes. “Tue toi.”
“Okay!” Pandora draped an arm over Regulus’ shoulder, leading him away from his brother. “Let’s not.”
“Why don’t we watch a film, huh?” James suggested with an awkward laugh, starting to gather snacks in his arms. “Marls, Cas, help me carry this stuff.”
The group situated themselves around the Potters’ living room, a gathering of snacks in the middle of them.
Barty sat cross-legged on the sofa with Pandora’s head in his lap, his fingers occasionally fiddling with her braids.
Evan came to sit next to him, bending the leg closest to Barty as he did, and their knees touched.
It was such a small, insignificant gesture, but Barty smiled to himself nonetheless. Evan looked straight ahead at the TV, acting as though they hadn’t made contact. Barty looked down, biting on his lip to suppress his smile and tangled his fingers in Pandora’s hair to distract himself.
When James finally settled on a film and turned up the volume, Barty found that he couldn’t quite concentrate. Not with Evan’s leg against his, sometimes gently shaking as the older man laughed.
He felt a foreign feeling, one that he didn’t tend to get very often. Butterflies in his stomach, a yearning in his chest. He would rather die than admit it, but he liked that feeling, and he liked the fact that Evan was the reason for it.

Barty and Pandora followed as Regulus darted through the hospital’s corridors with wicked precision. He dodged past patients, beds, wheelchairs and nurses with the grace of a ballet dancer.
Barty and Pandora gripped onto each others’ arms, struggling to keep up with him.
James had texted Regulus to tell him that the doctors had finished running their precautionary tests, but that he had to stay for another hour for monitoring. Regulus, frantic since the moment Sirius had texted him, refused to believe that James was okay until he was able to see him with his own eyes.
They reached A&E in record time and Regulus stormed to the reception desk.
“James Potter,” He rushed out as Barty and Pandora came to stand at his side.
The man behind the desk looked up at him with a pace that a glacier would envy. “What?”
Barty snickered as Regulus gritted his teeth. “James Potter. Where is—“
“Reg!”
The trio whipped around to see Sirius waving them over. He was standing in front of a slightly opened privacy curtain, James’ unmistakable red converses peeking out from underneath.
Regulus shot a glare at the man behind the desk before he crossed the room to his brother.
“Hey, guys,” Sirius said as they got closer. “James is in here.”
Regulus ignored him, slipping straight behind the curtains to where his boyfriend was.
James was sitting cross-legged in the centre of his hospital bed, clutching his stomach as he laughed with Remus.
“James,” Regulus breathed, moving over to the side of the bed.
James’ face lit up at the sight of him and he shuffled over on the bed to make space. “Hi, Reg.”
Regulus sat down next to him and ran a hand through his hair, eyes darting across his face as he searched for any visible damages. When he found none, he sighed with relief before curling his hand into a fist and hitting him on the shoulder.
“Ow,” James frowned. “What was that for?”
“For being a fucking idiot,” He hissed, standing up. “What the fuck were you doing?”
Barty snorted, nudging Pandora’s arm excitedly. “Someone’s going home with a note.”
“It wasn’t me!” James defended. “Evan was on a bloody war path!”
Regulus’ eyes snapped up to Evan who was leaning, arms crossed against the windowsill.
The older man shrugged. “I don’t regret it. Deserved.”
Regulus shot him a glare that Barty was certain his own father would cower from. Evan didn’t falter.
James rolled his eyes. “Dramatic arse.”
“Want me to go again?” Evan raised an eyebrow. “I will.”
James raised his hands in surrender. “Barty, you need to tame him.”
And then Evan’s eyes were on his, and Barty had never been God’s strongest soldier.
“Hey, Rosie,” He smiled, feeling Pandora’s hand fall from his arm. “Reg wants you to know that if you hospitalise his boyfriend again, he’ll castrate you.”
The corners of Evan’s eyes crinkled so slightly that Barty would’ve missed it if he hadn’t been paying such close attention.
“Is that right?”
Barty nodded, eyes falling to where Evan was tugging his tie loose, letting the material slip into his hands.
He smirked. “You guys still have a uniform?”
Evan rolled his eyes. “Fuck off.”
“Bee, I’m going to get snacks with Remus and Sirius,” Pandora tapped his elbow twice, handing him her bag before she slipped through the privacy curtains.
Barty slung the bag over his shoulder and moved until his left shoulder was leaning against the wall beside Evan. Regulus was fussing over James by the bed, so Barty had Evan’s attention all to himself.
“Where are the rest of you?” He asked, gesturing to the almost empty space.
“Still in classes. Sirius and Remus are here because they care about James,” Evan replied with a sigh. “I’m here because…well, I did this to James.”
Barty snorted. “And you don’t care about him?”
“Not at the moment.”
Barty shook his head fondly, admiring the way Evan’s eyes were alight with humour as he looked at his captain. He turned back to the younger man after a moment.
“You don’t have classes?”
Barty hummed, glancing down at the watch on his wrist. “Supposed to be in double chemistry right now.”
Evan raised an eyebrow teasingly. “Skipping? Didn’t peg you as a bad boy, Crouch.”
“Of course not. I’m practically buzzing to be the academic weapon my father always wanted me to be,” Barty smirked, sarcasm dripping from every word before he nodded in Regulus’ direction. “Reg panicked when Sirius texted him. I was mid-titration and he dragged me out of the lab.”
“Why did he panic? James was conscious the whole time.”
Barty shot him a deadpan look. “Rosie, you broke a table over his back.”
“So? I’ve seen him and Sirius do worse to each other,” Evan turned until his right shoulder was leaning against the wall, mimicking Barty’s stance. “You weren’t there when Sirius rage-quit their game of pool in the common room and broke the cue over James’ head. Or when James literally pulled out one of the pipes from under the sink so he had something to throw at Sirius.”
“How the fuck are you still allowed in your common room?”
“Beats me,” Evan shrugged, eyes flicking to the gap between the curtain as Pandora, Sirius and Remus walked back in before he looked at Barty again. “The headmistress has a soft spot for them, I think.”
Barty cocked his head to the side. “And you?”
“One week in-school suspension,” Evan shrugged. “But, she won’t tell my dad. Which is good enough for me.”
“I like her already,” Barty murmured, turning his head at the sound of Regulus and Sirius bickering in the corner. Evan’s presence was warm next to him, their quiet conversation oddly comforting.
The whole area had a feeling that had Barty’s shoulders untensing, his breath evening out. This was strange for him—he’d always hated hospitals, having been admitted one too many times after taking a particularly rough punch from his father, and having to tell the doctors that, no, he was just a little clumsy.
They weren’t even in a room—a flimsy blue curtain being the only thing that separated them from the chaos of A&E—but Barty felt…at ease.
Evan tilted his head forward a little to catch Barty’s eye. “You okay?”
Barty hummed, tearing his eyes away from the brothers in the corner. “I’m good.”
Evan stayed quiet for a moment before pushing himself off the wall and starting towards the gap in the curtains. “Wanna get a coffee?”
“I’d rather get a redbull,” Barty replied, the corner of his mouth lifting.
“Of course you would,” Evan scoffed. “At least it’s not a monster.”
Barty grimaced, following Evan to the vending machine near the waiting room. “Monsters are an absolute disgrace.”
Evan just snorted, glancing over the snacks in the machine.
“That’s new,” Barty lifted a hand up to lightly graze a finger over a new tattoo just behind Evan’s ear. His dreadlocks had been tied back, so Barty had a clear view.
The tattoo was of a small dagger, blood dripping from the tip. The handle was extraordinarily detailed, each engraving clear for Barty to see, even with how small it was.
Evan let Barty touch it, tilting his head ever so slightly so he had more access. “I got it on Saturday. After the game.”
Barty dropped his hand and Evan turned his head to look at him. “Sorry I couldn’t go this week. I’ll try harder not to get detention next time.”
The older man dropped his head to hide his laughter, a few loose dreads falling over his face. “Sure. I’d appreciate that.” He looked up and cocked his head toward the vending machine. “Want anything? It’s on me.”
Barty smirked. “Gourmet. I’m into it,” He pursed his lips as he scanned over the snacks. “You know what? Surprise me.”
“Oh, great,” Evan pulled out his phone and tapped a few numbers into the screen on the machine. “I’m going to wine and dine you, Crouch, just wait.”
“I’m on the edge of my seat, Rosie.”
A minute later, Evan turned around to face Barty, spreading out a few packets of sour patch kids like a stack of cash.
“I’m about to blow your mind,” He winked, chucking him one of the packets.
Barty smirked, his right eyebrow raising. “I wish you would.”

“You have no idea how much I love you,” Barty breathed out as he approached Evan at his school gates.
He was leaning against the black iron gates, looking effortlessly stunning under the cold December sun. He was bent over his phone, one hand tucked into his jacket pocket.
Evan slipped his phone away as Barty walked closer, letting the corner of his mouth lift up in a smirk. “I know.”
They fell into step beside each other, Barty hooking his pinky finger around the leather band that Evan always had strapped around his right wrist.
“So, where are you taking me?”
Evan quirked an eyebrow. “Huh?”
Barty smirked, halting his movements and tightening his grip around Evan’s bracelet so he stopped too, the two of them standing together a few paces from the school.
“You’re taking me on a date, Rosie,” Barty’s tone was suggestive, humour evident on his face. “This is a date. You don’t plan your dates?”
“A date, huh?” Evan cocked his head to the side. “Well, I better take you away then.”
He nodded across the road, pulling Barty’s attention away from him and to the black BMW parked opposite them.
Barty gaped. “ That’s your car?”
“My dad’s,” Evan corrected with a shrug, tugging Barty across the road to the car. “But he doesn’t drive it, so I took it.”
“You stole your dad’s car,” Barty deadpanned, raising an eyebrow in Evan’s direction.
“Not technically,” He defended, pulling the key from his jacket. “That man refuses to drive in anything less than his ridiculous Cadillac limo with a chauffeur. Poor thing was going to waste, I saved it.”
“So, you’re rich.”
Evan shook his head. “My dad’s rich.”
“So? He’s gotta die someday,” Barty shrugged, turning back to the car. “Pandora would lose her shit over this. She loves cars.”
“We’ll have to take her somewhere, then,” Evan leaned forward and opened the passenger side door, resting his forearms on the top as he stared at Barty. “You said she has a date later?”
“Yeah, with a girl from her english class.”
“Double date if it goes well then, huh?” Evan winked, gently shoving Barty’s chest backwards to guide him into the car. He slammed the door shut and walked around to the driver’s side.
When he climbed in, he dropped his phone into the cup holder in the centre console. It buzzed once, twice, three times as he pulled onto the road.
“Check that, will you?” Evan asked, leaning forward in his seat as he approached a junction.
Barty picked up the phone and clicked on one of the notifications.

“Regulus is such a bitch,” Barty huffed, dropping the phone into the cup holder and leaning back in his seat.
Evan let out a snort, sliding one hand off the wheel and onto his gear stick. “What’s he done?”
“He just didn’t come in today, even though he has lessons,” Barty turned in his chair, bending his right leg onto the leather and pressing his back to the door so he could look at Evan. “I mean, Dora had every right to not be in. If I had no classes, I’d skip too. Reggie just sucks.”
“You don’t have anyone else to hang out with?”
“I don’t like anyone else,” Barty dropped his head back onto the window. “I have plenty of people that I know through Pandora, but I don’t like any of them. They’re all a bunch of arse-kissing, artificial dickwads .”
Evan cast him an amused glance before refocusing on the road. “Is there really no one in any of your classes that you like?”
“Regulus is in all of my classes! I don’t need to like anyone else.”
“Clearly you do.”
“I don’t want to,” Barty pushed a petulant pout onto his face, watching the scenery shoot by behind Evan’s head.
“Sure,” The older man chuckled, low and teasing. “That makes sense.”
“You know what would be good?” Barty spoke up after a long moment of silence. “If you went to my college.”
“I’d leave by the end of the year. You’d still have to do next year on your own.”
Barty shook his head, leaning forward. “Nope. You’d take me to uni with you. Pack me in your suitcase or something.”
Another snort. “Would I?”
“Yeah.”
“I—“ Evan hesitated, glancing quickly at Barty again. “I don’t even know if I want to go to uni.”
“No?” Barty tilted his head in question, eyes trained on the side of Evan’s face.
“I just—that’s my dad’s thing, you know? He wants me to go to St Andrews or something equally as obnoxious, and take Business, but I’m not really interested in all of that,” He waved a hand lazily between them. “I don’t know what I want to do.”
“You could take a gap year?” Barty suggested. “It’s not like there’s any sort of rush. Besides, you’re almost eighteen, you can walk away from your dad and never look back.”
“Yeah,” Evan sighed. “It just feels weird not knowing what I want. I mean, all the others know where they want to go next.”
“Isn’t Marlene taking a gap year?”
“Yeah,” He raised an eyebrow. “How did you know that?”
“She sent me her number a while ago,” Barty shrugged. “A little after Potter’s party. I’m teaching her Italian.”
“Oh, yeah? How come you never teach me Italian?”
Barty raised an eyebrow, the corners of his lips quirking upwards. “You never asked.”
“Well, I’m asking now,” Evan smiled, turning into a parking complex. “Tell me something.”
Barty pursed his lips, thinking of something to say. He let his eyes track Evan’s side profile. The way the sun behind him cast a golden outline along his nose and jaw, almost like he was glowing. His dreadlocks were shorter than when Barty had last seen him, and his teeth gnawed gently at his vertical labret.
Barty hummed, lifted his gaze back up to his eyes. “Mi piaci davvero tanto.”
Evan pulled into a parking space a few levels above the ground floor and turned in his chair to face Barty. “What’s that mean?”
“Guess,” Barty cocked his head to the side.
Evan was quiet for a minute, giving Barty enough time to admire the thoughtful look on his face. A piece of his hair flickered gently every time he blinked, getting slightly caught on his eyelashes.
He sighed eventually, shrugging his shoulders. “I’m not sure.”
“Then I guess we’ll never know,” Barty smiled, smug, before looking around the parking complex. “Where are we?”
“One of my cousins owns a restaurant around here. I thought I’d take you there,” Evan gestured vaguely behind himself, unbuckling his seatbelt with his free hand and then leaning forward to do the same for Barty. “Y’know. For our date.”
Barty looked down at where Evan’s hand had slipped from the belt buckle to his bent knee, cool rings meeting his skin through the rips in his jeans.
“Impress me, Rosier.”

rosie 🥀
barty 😈
are you free?
23:46
rosie 🥀
yeah why
23:46
outgoing call to rosie 🥀 …
“Hey,” Evan’s tired voice broke through Barty’s speaker.
“Hi,” Barty breathed out, shuffling in his bed until he was facing the ceiling, his phone lying next to him on the pillow.
“You okay?” The older man asked. There was a slight roughness to his voice, a little muffled as though he wasn’t near the phone.
Barty hummed, letting his eyes fall closed. “Couldn’t sleep again.”
A low laugh sounded by his ear, as though Evan was right next to him. His voice sounded clearer the next time he spoke.
“Sounds like it’s becoming a regular thing,” He muttered thoughtfully. “Maybe you should go to a sleep clinic.”
“Fuck off,” Barty snorted. “I’m not going to a sleep clinic.”
“Well, what do you expect me to do?”
Barty hesitated for a moment, quickly weighing out the pros and cons of what he was about to say. He bit the inside of his cheek before letting out a harsh breath and turning his head slightly to the phone.
“Bats?”
“Can you just talk?” He asked finally, ignoring the way the nickname had his stomach turning.
Evan was quiet for a beat. “Talk?”
“Yeah. I like your voice,” Barty explained, entirely unashamed. “It—it wraps around my brain.”
Another moment of silence passed. “It what?”
“It wraps around my brain,” He shrugged as though it was obvious, despite the fact that Evan couldn’t see him. “Comforting or something.”
“Are you for real?”
“Yes?”
“Okay, uh,” Evan shuffled around for a minute before the call fell quiet again. “Well, Marlene almost beat up a year seven today because they were walking too slow. I wish I was kidding—I actually had to hold her back.”
Barty snorted, but let Evan continue.
“Lily crashed out because her History teacher finally marked her coursework, even though she handed it in like a month ago. He wants her to change most of it, but the deadline is next week. James and Sirius almost set the pool on fire—“
“What?” Barty interrupted, opening his eyes.
“What?”
“How the fuck do you set a pool on fire?”
“Toaster.”
“I’m… I’m actually a little offended that I didn’t think of that first.”
“Of course you are,” Evan commented, and Barty could practically hear his smirk through the phone. “Do you—uh, am I supposed to talk about something specific?”
“Talk about whatever you want, Rosie,” Barty replied, turning until his cheek was squished into the pillow that his phone rested on.
Evan hummed. “My English Lit teacher recommended Wuthering Heights to us the other day. I can confidently say that I’m thirty-five pages in and it’s the worst book I’ve ever read in my life.”
Barty smiled to himself, his eyes closing again. “Why’s that?”
“It’s so fucking boring, Bats, honestly ,” He huffed. “I mean, I’ve read other shit from that time period and I’ve actually enjoyed it. Wuthering Heights? Hate it.”
Barty let out a quiet laugh. “You’re such a little nerd.”
“ Little? ” Evan repeated. “Okay, shortass.”
“Fuck you, just keep talking.”
Barty settled further into his pillow as Evan continued to ramble about his day. As weird as it sounded, Evan’s voice felt like Barty was dipping his brain in a bucket of ice water after a long day. It was refreshing—relaxing even.
It wasn’t long until he had drifted off to sleep, Evan ranting about a particularly annoying squirrel that had taken residence under the tree he and Xeno liked to hide under when their friends were being unbearable.
It wasn’t the first time Barty had fallen asleep on call to Evan. It was, however, the first time he’d woken up a full eight hours later to find that Evan hadn’t hung up.

do i want to go to james’ to look for the eyeliner i left there
21:12
little shit 💞
no
21:12
sirius ⭐️
right thanks
21:12
Notes:
okay so like i hope we enjoyed this one
it was written with a sleep deprived, emotionally exhausted brain but i just kept thinking of things that barty would absolutely say and then i would be like 'oh i'll just note that down for later' and then i'd end up writing a whole thing but anywayand guys dont worry, this is not the end of xeno and pandora, they will get their shit together
speaking of people getting their shit together, everyone buckle the fuck up for chapter 7 😋😋😋
also everyone say thank you to @ajthecrayon on here and on tumblr for giving me the idea that barty finds evans voice so comforting that he can fall asleep
okay i had more to say but ive been up since 4 this morning cos i had a physics exam today and i was stressing so im tired and i'll see you probably after exams for real this time bc i have like 7 exams in a span of three weeks and four of those are way too difficult and im scared
last exam is 19th of june i'll see you then bye ladies
Chapter 8: note part 2
Chapter Text
well hi
evidently i cant keep away from you guys (or rosekiller)
since i have exams rn and im finally locked in, i cant post anything new for the next few weeks, but i just posted a short oneshot to my page (its called 'i thanked god to touch the flame') that i wrote a while ago based on one of @ z-eel 's posts on tumblr
i technically wrote half of it and then forgot about it but i decided to post this first half and then, if you guys like it, i'll write a second part (AFTER exams)
anyways go check it out
as always have a good day love you lots
mwah mwah
~ s
p.s.
sorry for all the notes i know theyre misleading -- never again i promise
Chapter 9: chapter seven
Notes:
IM BACK MFSSSSS
alr buckle up guys this ones a bit of a rollercoaster
TWs// blood (kink????), but then like actual blood, bruises, child abuse, deteriorating mental health, self harm (not in an explicit way, but it is a form of sh), mentions of past child abuse
okay i promise its not as bad as it sounds guys enjoy
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Barty sighed, dropping the TV remote onto his lap after clicking on a film that he’d watched a hundred times. There was nothing on that interested him, and he was bored out of his very mind.
Regulus had gone to James’ hours before, and Barty had been left to his own devices.
He was considering ordering a takeout that was big enough for at least four people when a knock sounded at the door.
He smiled to himself slightly, remembering his conversation with Evan. He crossed the room to the door, hoping that the older man had taken up his offer.
Yanking it open, he found Evan standing on the other side, a bottle of Bailey’s in his right hand.
“Hey,” The blonde greeted, holding the bottle up. “Nicked it from my cousin. Figured it’d be a nice treat.”
Barty smiled, opening the door wider so Evan could come in. “Hey, Rosie. Alcohol this early?”
Evan let out a breathy laugh, taking a seat on the sofa. “It’s almost eight, Bats.”
“Oh. I haven’t seen my phone in a while,” Barty shot him a grin, pulling open the fridge and ducked down slightly to rummage through the almost empty shelves. “Want anything?”
“What do you have?”
“Not a lot, I’m not gonna lie to you, Rosie. Honestly, nothing’s been cooked in this flat since James was last here, and that was almost a month ago.” Barty stood up straight, leaning against the door to the fridge as he looked at Evan.
Oh, he was pure temptation.
The older man was looking over the back of the sofa, chin resting on his forearms and gazing at Barty through hooded eyes.
Barty was a weak, weak man
He cleared his throat, turning his attention back onto the fridge. “We have beer and dino nuggets. And your Bailey’s.”
Evan glanced down at the bottle in his hands. “Wanna try this?”
Barty nodded, moving away to the fridge. “We’re going to have to use mugs. Reg and I aren’t sophisticated enough to have glasses.”
“You broke them all, didn’t you?”
“Not all ,” Barty defended, joining Evan on the sofa. “Reg broke one too.”
“Yeah, one. I don’t know how many you owned, but sets usually come in sixes. So, you broke at least five.”
“Seventeen,” The brunette bit down on his lip as Evan filled the two mugs.
“ Seventeen ?!” He paused in his movements. “How on Earth did you break seventeen glasses?”
Barty simply shrugged. “Reg kept buying more after I broke them.”
“I’m glad he finally learned his lesson,” Evan screwed the cap back onto the Bailey’s bottle and set it down on the coffee table in front of them.
“Do you want to talk about your dad?” Barty asked softly, handing Evan his mug.
Evan shook his head. “He’s just a lot right now. I don’t really want to think about it. Cheers?”
“Cheers.”
They tapped their mugs gently together and each took a sip.
Evan scrunched his nose up, pulling the mug away from his face. “ God , that’s sweeter than I expected.”
“I like it,” Barty hummed.
“Yeah? I’m not convinced.”
“Imagine it in a hot chocolate or a cheesecake.”
“Oh, yeah. Fair enough.”
“Yeah,” Barty nodded. “I don’t think I’m in the mood for something this sweet, though. Beer?”
“Beer’s good,” Evan nodded, letting him take the two mugs over to the kitchen counter.
Barty took two bottles from the fridge and bumped his hip against the door to close it. “We can break out the dino nuggets later if we’re feeling extra rowdy.”
Evan broke out into a quiet laugh, thoughtful eyes still tracking Barty’s movements as he found his way back to the sofa. He flopped down onto the cushions and brought Evan’s bottle to his mouth, hooking his bottom teeth on the underside of the cap. He tugged, the cap popping off. As it did, the sharp edge caught on his lip. Blood beaded on the surface as he spat the cap in the direction of the coffee table.
Evan raised his eyebrows, his gaze drawn to Barty’s lip.
“What?” The younger man asked, oblivious as he handed Evan his bottle.
He didn’t respond, and Barty frowned slightly as Evan lifted a hand to his face. He pressed a thumb down on Barty’s lip, taking his own between his teeth as he did.
Barty lifted his eyes to meet Evan’s, thoughts flickering like static.
After a long moment, Evan removed his thumb, allowing Barty to glance down at the blood that covered the tip.
“Oh.”
Barty’s tongue darted out subconsciously, the metallic taste filling his mouth. Evan’s grip around his bottle tightened and his heated gaze intensified as a drop of blood tipped over, trailing slowly down Barty’s chin.
Oh.
Evan’s thumb moved to wipe it away, the red smudging against Barty’s pale skin. He looked entranced, like he wouldn’t have been able to look away if he tried.
“Rosie?” Barty spoke, voice low.
Evan hummed distractedly in response.
“Kiss me.”
Brown eyes snapped up to meet his own, pupils blown wide. “What?”
“Kiss me.”
Evan’s eyes darted across his face as he moved the hand from Barty’s mouth to instead tangle his fingers in the hair at the base of his head. His gaze flickered down to his bloodied lips once more before he exhaled, tugging him forward until there was no space between them.
Barty gasped quietly as their lips pressed together, the air rushing out of his lungs. His blood was slick between them, Evan let out a harsh breath at the sensation.
Evan, Evan, Evan. The name replayed in his head like a prayer; a devotee to a God.
Barty had never understood when people described first kisses as fireworks exploding in their stomachs , but now that he was here, a fistful of Evan’s dreads, mouths moving in sync as Evan gripped his hair and tugged ? Now, he knew there was no other way to describe such a wonderful fucking experience.
Evan ran his tongue across Barty’s bottom lip, and the latter granted him access without hesitation, welcoming the dull sting from his fresh cut. The pair moved as one, slowly leaning backwards until Barty was lying flat against the sofa.
Evan’s hands began to wander, falling from his hair to slowly drag over his shoulders and down his back, revelling in the way Barty arched off the sofa and into him when his hands gripped his waist.
Barty’s shirt had ridden up, and Evan took the opportunity to slide his hands beneath the fabric. Barty hissed, the cool metal of Evan’s rings meeting his burning skin.
Pulling back, Barty tugged at Evan’s lip gently with his teeth before he leaned his head back against the cushions. His breaths came heavy as Evan continued to mouth along his jaw. He nipped gently at the corner, before moving down Barty’s neck. The feeling of Evan’s vertical labret dragging down his skin was intoxicating .
If this was what Heaven was like, Barty would be willing to amend a lifetime of sin to ensure access to those white gates.
When the other man’s teeth grazed over a particularly sensitive spot on his neck, just below his ear, Barty let out a soft noise, somewhere between a breath and a moan. Evan leaned back up and met his lips to swallow it down.
“You’re fucking perfect,” Evan rasped after he pulled away to catch his breath, chest heaving. He leaned forward, mouthing at that sensitive spot. “Fuck.”
“Rosie,” Barty groaned, back arching once again.
Evan chuckled, soft and slow. He pushed forward to steal another kiss. It was more gentle this time, filled with much less urgency. Evan pressed both hands back into the younger man’s waist, pulling him impossibly closer once more.
Evan lifted his right hand to trace the arch of his back before he broke the kiss again, dropping his forehead into the curve of Barty’s shoulder. “Dieu, sauve-moi.”
“Dio non può aiutarvi ora, Rosie.” The latter grinned, winding one of Evan’s dreads around his index finger.
Evan looked up at him, lips painted red with Barty’s blood. “I have no fucking idea what you just said.”
Barty laughed, pushing himself further into Evan’s embrace. “I said, ‘God can’t save you now.’”
“You understood me?” He asked, voice absent as his gaze dropped to Barty’s swollen lips.
“Panda and Reg speak French,” Barty shrugged. “I’ve picked up some phrases, though Reg usually says that one in exasperation. Not in…what’s the word? All-consuming lust?” He wiggled his eyebrows teasingly.
Evan let out a breathy laugh, nosing gently up the side of Barty’s neck until their lips could meet once again.
Evan’s phone buzzed against Barty’s hip. It buzzed again, and then again, and again until finally Barty pushed at Evan’s chest.
“Answer it or turn it off.”
With a sigh, Evan reached down to pull the phone from his pocket as Barty continued to fiddle with his hair.

Barty chuckled, having turned his head to the side so he could watch Evan’s phone as the texts came through.
“Can I?” He asked, taking his hand from his hair and holding it out for the phone.
Evan shrugged, dropping it into his hand. Barty stretched out his arm, holding the phone above the two of them and opening the camera app. He grinned at the image that stared back at him.
There was blood smeared across his chin, a faint trail that had followed Evan along his jaw and down his neck. He had a hand fisted in blonde dreadlocks, and Evan’s teeth grazed gently below his ear, waiting patiently for him to finish what he was doing.
He snapped the picture and sent it straight to the group chat, a satisfied smirk playing at his lips.

Evan took his phone back and put it on silent mode. He dropped it to the floor before turning his attention back to Barty.
“Do you—“
“Yes.”
Evan chuckled. “You don’t even know what I was going to ask.”
“Don’t care. Whatever you say,” Barty pushed himself up onto his elbow, craning his neck upwards until there was once again no space between them.
He felt Evan’s hands slip back under his shirt, travelling higher and higher, until—
Evan pulled back, eyes wide and shining with shock. “Wha—Barty, what is—“
Barty just grinned. “Everything okay, Rosie?”
“Are you—I’m—“ Evan shook his head, lifting his gaze from Barty’s chest to meet his eyes. “Are those fucking nipple piercings ?”
Barty’s grin widened. “Maybe.”
Evan’s eyes fell closed in exasperation, forehead dropping onto Barty’s shoulder and muttering under his breath.
“What was that?” Barty teased, pressing a thumb under Evan’s jaw to lift his head up.
“You’re going to be the fucking death of me.”
—
Barty shifted so that he was lying on his side, careful not to move Evan’s arm that was loosely wrapped around his waist.
He pushed up onto his elbow and leaned over to lift his phone from his bedside table. The time read 11:03 .
Sighing, he dropped his phone back onto the table and rubbed his hands over his eyes. The duvet fell from shoulders and pooled at his waist, only just covering Evan’s arm.
Barty lazily dragged his eyes across Evan’s exposed back, looking at the tattoos he’d coloured with his tongue the night before, at the silver chain around his neck that he’d held between his teeth.
It was surreal, the fact that Evan was real, and he was here.
Barty reached out to brush away the dreadlock that had fallen over his face, smiling when Evan scrunched his nose in response.
“Morning,” He whispered.
Evan opened one eye and peered up at him before closing it again and shuffling further into the pillow. “Hey.”
His voice was rough from lack of use, a deep tone that had the sparks in Barty’s stomach reigniting.
“Your phone’s been buzzing non-stop,” Barty flopped back down and pulled the duvet back over his shoulders. “I think it’s your friends.”
Evan pulled him closer using the arm draped around his waist. His fingers danced up the dip of Barty’s spine, nails gently scratching at his skin. “I don’t care.”
Barty hummed softly. “Good answer.” He let his eyes fall closed. “Merry not-Christmas, Rosie.”
“Merry not-Christmas, Bats.”
“Want a cigarette?”
Evan pushed himself up onto one elbow. “Later,” He pushed forward, his other hand bracing him beside Barty’s head. He leaned down, only to frown when Barty shook his head.
“Not on the mouth,” He wrinkled his nose. “Morning breath.”
Evan let out a surprised laugh. “Morning breath?”
“Can’t stand it. Reg’s not allowed near me in the mornings until we’ve both brushed our teeth. Be lucky that you’re this close, Rosier.”
“Oh, yeah. Honoured. Thank you for this opportunity.”
“Shut up. Everyone has their thing. This is my thing.”
Evan just smiled, soft like Barty had never seen before. “Sure. It’s your thing. Any opposition to neck kissing?”
“Hm, I suppose I could let it slide.”
Evan grinned and ducked down, teeth grazing from Barty’s collarbone up to his jawline. The younger man craned his neck back to give more access, his hair splaying around him on the pillows like a halo.
Barty’s eyes closed, a reflex, and he let out a quiet groan when Evan sucked on the sensitive spot below his ear.
One of their phones buzzed on the table, but both of them ignored it. It wasn’t until it buzzed again, three times in the span of five seconds, Evan’s hand ghosting over Barty’s stomach, that he pushed him away.
“Rosie, answer your fucking phone or I’ll snap it in half,” He grumbled. “And tell your fucking friends to stop interrupting.”
Evan just sighed deeply, rolling over to pick up the phone and scrolled to the bottom of his group chat.

Despite Pandora and Regulus’ efforts, Barty felt no better. He couldn’t shake the feeling that Evan had decided he was just too much for him.
It was pathetic, he knew. He had known Evan for a matter of months, but the thought of being someone worth losing — of someone Evan thought was worth losing — made him want to crawl right out of his skin.
He had been disposable to his father, and his mother had been too emotionally vacant to care. Barty had spent his life running towards people that might actually want him, but his energy was spent, and those people were just out of arm's reach.
True to his word, Regulus had made them a blanket fort the minute he returned to their flat. Although, he had made it over their sofa, which still smelled like Evan, so Barty had elected to sit on the floor, his head resting in Pandora’s lap.
She carded her fingers gently through his hair as they watched whatever film Regulus had put on — Barty hadn’t been paying attention.
None of them spoke.
Barty kind of hated it.
“Alright,” Regulus sighed, pausing the film. “Speak.”
“What?”
“I can hear you thinking, Barty.”
Barty simply shrugged. “I’m just…” He sighed, unable to think of the right words.
“You just?”
“I don’t think I am to him what he is to me,” He said finally. “I think—what if he regrets asking me? To New Year’s, I mean. What if he doesn’t show?”
Pandora frowned. “What makes you think he regrets it?”
Barty scoffed. “I don’t know, maybe the fact I haven’t heard from him since we—since yesterday. Maybe he realised he didn’t… like me. I mean, he doesn’t even really know me that well.”
“You’ve been talking for months—“
“ Texting ,” Barty interrupted. “Not talking, Reg. We’ve spent the last four months texting. Remember at Sirius’ party, before I met him, I was so afraid that he would be different in real life compared to how he is on text? What if I’m that for him?”
“I disagree,” Pandora said, her eyebrows knitting together in thought. “Yeah, you guys met online, but it’s not like yesterday was your first time seeing each other in person. You’ve been to almost every single one of his games and have gone out with him right after. He’s been to the flat before, he took you on a date , Bee. And he doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy to do what he did yesterday if he didn’t truly like you.”
“But what if—“
Regulus shook his head. “You can’t keep going with the ‘what if’s. And, you know, he might not actually be avoiding you.”
Barty shot him a questioning glance.
“None of his friends have heard from him either. If he was ignoring you, he’d still be in contact with them.”
“And if he is ignoring you, which I doubt,” Pandora chimed in. “Then he’s an arsehole who doesn’t deserve you.”
Barty dropped his gaze to the floor. “He wasn’t supposed to be like that.”
“I know. But such is life,” Regulus said before snorting to himself. “Which is possibly the shittiest advice I’ve ever given in my life, but y’know. We’re all in the dark here.”
“I guess,” Barty dropped his shoulders, defeated. “You guys said you brought alcohol?”
Pandora smiled, wriggling her eyebrows. “I stole my dad’s Don Julio.”

Barty’s hands stung. The chemicals from the cleaning products were beginning to irritate his skin. He glanced down. His fingers were red and raw, the skin around his nails slightly broken.
Shaking his head, he picked up his cloth and cleaner and walked back out into the living room to start all over again.
His mind was unusually quiet, only one thing replaying again and again. His father’s stern voice, telling him he had to keep cleaning. Before he left his house, Barty’s punishment was always to clean. Clean the entire property over and over again until his father ordered him to stop. The voice in his head hadn’t told him to stop yet.
Barty eyed the sofa as he reentered. It still smelled like Evan, or maybe it didn’t—he wasn’t quite sure anymore. He dropped the cloth and the bottle and moved over to the sofa, picking up each cushion and stripping off the covers. He dumped them in the corner of the room and wiped his forehead with his arm.
There was still so much to do. The floors still felt sticky, the oven oily, the bathroom wasn’t anywhere near clean. The showerhead hadn’t been removed, the TV cabinet still had dust on it, the bins hadn’t been wiped down, he had been doing a whole lot of fucking nothing for hours.
His father would be disappointed. Hours of work, just for nothing to have been done. And now he was wasting time just standing there? Ridiculous, pathetic .
There was a part of him that enjoyed the burning in his fingers. Welcomed it, in fact. Something between a distraction and a punishment. It felt a little like control. Barty could control so little in his life, but he could control this. The burn.
“Barty?” Barty was snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of Regulus’ apprehensive voice. He stood at the edge of the corridor that led to their bedrooms. “You have to stop.”
Barty shook his head, gesturing around them and going to pick the cloth back up. “I can’t, Reg, there’s so much—”
“You cleaned it all, Bee,” Regulus plucked the cloth from his hands and kicked away the bottle on the floor. “It’s done.”
“But I can hear him still,” Barty stressed, a layer of tears blurring his vision.
“Who?” Regulus guided him to the bathroom, putting his stinging hands in the sink and turning on the tap.
“Dad,” He choked on the word, bile threatening to claw its way up his throat.
Regulus’ shoulders tensed. “He’s not here, Barty. You don’t have to listen to him anymore.”
“If I don’t listen, he won’t go away,” Barty scoffed at his own words. “I sound fucking insane—Reg, I—I can’t—I can’t just ignore him.”
“You don’t sound insane, I get it. But you kind of just have to ignore him,” Regulus turned his hands over, making sure the cold water ran over ever inch of his angry skin. “It’s shitty advice but he can’t touch you here.”
“When I ignore him, he just gets louder, Reg.”
“I know. But you already got out. You don’t have to deal with him anymore—drunk or sober. You don’t have to listen. Don’t let him control you even now. Even after you ran away. Do not let him get to you.”
“I can’t—“
Regulus removed Barty’s hands from the water and pulled him into a hug. “You can. I’m here.”
A single tear slipped down Barty’s cheek. He didn’t notice it was there until it fell onto the tiled floor with a splat .
He leaned his head onto Regulus’ shoulder, trying desperately to ignore the feeling of worry that coiled in his gut like a snake, ready to strike at any moment.

friday 30th december
“Barty?”
Barty glanced up from where he was curled up in his bed, phone clutched pathetically in his hands in the ridiculous hope that Evan might text him. James’ voice sounded through the door. Barty didn’t even know he was at the flat.
“Can I come in?”
Barty let out a sound of approval, dropping his head back onto the bed as the door creaked open.
The bed dipped as James perched himself on the edge, crossing his legs underneath him.
“I think I know how you feel.”
“What?” Barty murmured, pushing his phone away from him with a defeated sigh.
James ran a nervous hand through his hair. “You feel everything in abundance. The bad and the good. I get it, it drowns you.”
Barty pushed himself up onto his elbow, an eyebrow raised. “James, no offence, but you’re the embodiment of the fucking sun.”
He was met with a sad smile. “Look, I haven’t even told Reg yet—I’m not quite ready to scare him away. Only Sirius knows, and that’s just because he lives with me.”
“Get on with it, Potter.”
“I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder when I was nine. I got,” James huffed out a humourless laugh. “Really fucking good at hiding it from those around me, but I get it. And I’m not saying you have it, but I see some similarities in the way you and I cope with things. I just wanted you to know, you’re not pathetic for feeling so strongly for Evan, or for shutting down like this after just a few days of no contact. First of all, you're completely right to be worried—we are too, but don’t—it’s not weird that you're this worried after only having known him for a few months.
“I fell for Reg like one would fall from the top of the Burj Khalifa, right onto the concrete below, and if he—” James shook his head once, cutting himself off. His tone was light, but there was an undercurrent of something much heavier. “I feel emotions at their most extreme, and I think you do too.”
Barty’s eyes darted across James’ face for a minute before he spoke, voice quiet. “I feel like I’m going out of my brain.”
“I know.”
“I think I got attached too quickly.”
“I think that’s how you and I are wired.”
“It sucks.”
“It does,” James nodded. “But it can also be beautiful. If you channel all of those feelings into your person, it really is wonderful.”
“My person isn’t here. That’s the problem.”
“You have to keep looking at the bright side of things. It’s exhausting, I know, but otherwise the darkness will consume you, Junior. Be glad that you found your person,” James shifted his weight, leaning on one of his arms. “We’re all scared for him right now, but when he does get out, and he will, he’ll need you. Because you are as much his person as he is yours.”
The coil in Barty’s gut loosened slightly at that. “Really?”
James smiled. “Are you kidding? He sends us screenshots of your chats all the time. Just the other day he was telling us about how he wanted to eat you.”
Barty let out a startled laugh, sitting up fully in his bed. “Seriously? What the fuck does that even mean?”
“You called him a goose, he said it was cute.”
“I knew he secretly liked it,” The younger man grinned, before letting out a long sigh and meeting James’ eyes. “Can I ask you something?”
“Shoot.”
“Why haven’t you told Reg about your BPD?”
“He doesn’t need that burden,” James replied simply. “He’s lived a life full of emotionally constipated people. I don’t want to be another person he has to take care of. He deserves more than that.”
"Okay," Barty raised a disbelieving eyebrow. “Try the truth now?”
“What?”
“Bambi, you and I both know that you aren’t just someone Reg ‘has to take care of,’” Barty said, lifting his hands in air quotes. “We both know he’d burn the world for you, and we both know that you’re very different from the people he grew up with. So, what’s the real reason you haven’t told him?”
James was quiet for a moment, eyes cast downwards to where his socked feet met the veneered floors. “I’m scared.”
“Of what?”
“That I’ll be too much for him. BPD isn’t exactly easy to deal with. I’m scared he’ll witness one of my…episodes, and decide it’s too much. I don’t want to lose him to this.”
“You wouldn’t lose him.”
“How do you know that?”
“‘You have to keep looking at the bright side of things. Otherwise the darkness will consume you,’” Barty shrugged, quoting James’ own words back to him.
James snorted, rolling his eyes.
“Seriously, though,” Barty continued. “You just spent the last five minutes essentially telling me that the way we feel things doesn’t define us. Regulus loves you. He loves you already, and you are who you are whether you put a label on it or not. The knowledge that you have BPD won’t change what Regulus thinks of you, because it doesn’t change you .”
James blinked. “When the hell did you get so wise, Junior?”
“I’ve always been a genius. You’re all just too hung up on the insanity to see it,” Barty grinned. “You should tell Reg eventually. Whenever you’re ready, but don’t be scared when the time comes. Regulus would kill you if he knew you thought he would leave you.”
“I’ll tell him,” James chuckled, standing up from the bed. “Are you, uh, are you coming to the party tomorrow?”
Barty shook his head. “No. This was Evan’s thing. I don’t want to do it without him.”
“Okay. Then I’ll see you on Sunday.”

It was the day of the New Years party, and Barty had a hollow feeling in his chest.
Regulus and Pandora were on the floor in front of him, doing each other’s hair and makeup. They were running slightly later than they would’ve liked, Xeno and James would be arriving any second.
Barty smiled as Pandora yelped, a jar full of glitter spilling from the coffee table.
“Shit!”
“Dora!” Regulus groaned, jumping up to avoid getting glitter on his clothes. “Bee, do you mind?”
Barty waved a dismissive hand. “I’ll get it when you guys are gone.”
Regulus kneeled back down again, away from the glitter but near enough so he could see himself in the small mirror propped up on the table. He picked up a liquid eyeliner and thrust it in Barty’s direction.
“Help?”
Barty snorted and sat forward, gripping Regulus’ chin between his forefinger and thumb to hold him still.
A minute of concentrated silence passed before a knock sounded at the door, indicating Xeno and James’ arrival.
Pandora, who had been adding last minute touches to her hair, hopped up and skipped over to the door.
“Oi, hands off my boyfriend, Crouch,” James’ amused voice filled the flat, seeing Regulus practically in Barty’s lap.
“He was mine first, Potter,” Barty murmured, trying not to break his concentration. He finished one eye and leaned back. “Open, Reg.”
“I feel like ‘was’ is the keyword, there,” James sighed as Barty moved to start on his other eye.
Barty risked a quick sideways glance in Pandora’s direction, finding her pulling out a rose from a bouquet that Xeno had given her, and placing it gently behind his ear with a smile.
Turning his attention back to Regulus, he finished off the wing and put the eyeliner down, gently tilting his best friend’s head back and forth so he could see if they matched.
“Open.”
Regulus blinked up at him.
“You look gorgeous, love,” James smiled from behind Barty.
The younger man shuddered, releasing Regulus’ face. “Enough of that, get out of here.”
The ravenette grinned and stood up, leaning over the back of the sofa to press a quick kiss to the corner of James’ mouth before retreating to his room for his shoes.
“Alright?” James asked, rounding the sofa to sit beside Barty.
“Yeah. I do feel awful that he’s missing this. It’s all he’s talked about over the last few weeks.”
James nodded once in understanding. “I get it. And a little helpless that we don’t know what’s going on.”
“Exactly.”
“Well, you’re not alone in that feeling,” James squeezed his shoulder, standing up as Regulus returned to the living area. “Remember to look at the bright side.”
Barty raised his eyebrows. “What’s the bright side this time?”
James shrugged, a lopsided grin on his face. “He’s your person.”
Pandora walked over to plant a kiss on Barty’s cheek before he could respond. “Bye, Bee. See you later.”
“Bye, guys. Have fun.”
The group left in a flurry of long black jackets and polished shoes hitting the floor, and it wasn’t long until Barty was completely alone.
—
Regulus and Pandora had been gone for two hours, and Barty didn’t know how to occupy his mind. The TV was on, shuffling through a Spotify playlist that Pandora had made for him years ago, his phone was playing reruns of Friends . He had his laptop balanced in his lap, his most recent assignment staring back at him and a lighter in his left hand, watching as the flames danced and died.
Every possible thing he could think of to distract himself was on, and yet his fingers itched to clean. His father’s voice was, while muffled, ever present.
The last few days with no word from Evan had been torture. Despite James’ words, his mind was racing , and no amount of background noise could quiet it down.
A knock on the door tore him from his thoughts. He sighed, pushing his laptop off of him and standing up from where he had been sitting in front of the sofa.
Barty crossed the flat, tugging the sofa’s throw blanket over his shoulders. He peered through the peephole, but it was too dark in the corridor outside for him to see who it was, so he opened the door.
Barty’s heart stuttered in his chest at the sight of familiar brown eyes and blonde dreadlocks.
“Hey, Bats.”
Evan’s voice was raw and broken, words slurring together ever so slightly. He was leaning his weight against the doorframe, curled into himself like he would collapse at any moment. There was blood running down his chin from his nose and mouth, coating his teeth in a red sheen.
His eyebrow piercing looked agitated, the skin around it slightly raised and faintly discoloured. His eyes were rimmed red, and a blood vessel in his left eye had burst, a pool of crimson seeping into his cornea.
The usual carefree smile on his face was absent, and Barty almost didn’t recognise him.
Almost .
Almost, because as pathetic as it sounded, Barty would’ve recognised Evan, even if he was a blind man in a sea of people. He would’ve known him in any light, in any context, anywhere.
“Evan, what the fuck?” Barty’s eyes widened, hands shooting out to steady Evan when he shifted, stumbling slightly to one side.
Barty moved to help Evan wrap and arm around his shoulders, supporting him as much as he could as they made their way into the flat. He kicked the door shut behind them and guided the older man to the sofa.
He slumped down, wincing at the change in position. Barty ran a hand through his hair, chewing nervously on his lip. “What the fuck?”
Evan only smiled, as much as he could with his split lip and bruised cheek. “I missed you.”

~~
Barty gazed up at Evan, eyes tracing his jawline like he was something sacred. The older man’s lips were curled up in a lazy smile, one arm thrown casually over Barty’s shoulders as he watched their TV.
He looked so soft. Blond dreadlocks were tied in a half bun behind his head, a single airpod nestled in his left ear.
Barty could stare at him for the rest of his life. At the gentle curve of his neck—so delicate, so vulnerable. He swallowed, mind whirring with all of the ways he could ruin something so beautiful.
His long eyelashes cast shadows down his cheekbones, flickering with every blink.
The TV screen changed as advertisements began. Evan sighed, letting his head roll over to look at Barty. His eyes narrowed ever so slightly when he found him already looking.
“What?” He murmured.
Barty just hummed, pressing himself further into Evan’s side. “You’re so pretty.”
“I’m pretty,” He deadpanned, arching an eyebrow.
“The prettiest,” Barty lifted a hand to gently stroke the side of his face. His eyes darted across his face, like if he stared for long enough, he could engrave Evan into his retinas. “So pretty.”
Evan took the hand off his face, lacing their fingers together instead. He pressed a kiss to Barty’s wrist, just above his pulse point.
“I’m obsessed with you,” Barty continued. “You’re everything.”
“I’m yours,” Evan replied, shifting closer.
“You are,” Barty grinned, moving to straddle Evan’s thighs. “Mine, all mine.”
Evan raised his hands to Barty’s waist, fingers dipping just below the hem of his shirt. “Yours.”
Barty leaned down, but stopped just before their lips met. He breathed in deeply, like he couldn’t exist outside of Evan’s space.
His voice was low when he next spoke. “I want to be consumed by you.”
Evan grinned, sharp canines flashing, and Barty found himself thinking about those teeth sinking into the soft flesh of his hip.
“That can be arranged.”
“I used to fear death, y’know,” Barty leaned back, looking down at Evan through hooded eyes. “Before I met you. Now all I fear is a life without you. Evan Rosier, you are quite literally the only reason my heart is still beating.”
“In more ways than one,” Evan snorted. “Being your emergency contact will make my hair grey by twenty-five.”
“I keep life exciting,” Barty shrugged.
“Can’t argue with—“ Evan cut himself off with a harsh breath as Barty ran a hand down from his chest to his hip, a finger curling slowly around his belt loop.
Barty’s grin practically split his face in two. “You were saying?”
“You’re a tyrant.”
“Maybe,” Barty leaned back down again, lips brushing against Evan’s as he spoke. “But only for you.”

!!!!! READ TRIGGER WARNINGS IN NOTES BEFORE PROCEEDING
Barty kneeled down in front of Evan, taking his face into his hands so he could look closely at his injuries. The older man kept his eyes fixed on Barty’s like a man possessed, never straying even a millimetre.
“I missed you too, Rosie. But that doesn’t answer my question,” Barty murmured, voice blending in with the sound of the TV.
Evan just brought a bruised hand up to push a strand of Barty’s hair out of his eyes. “You’ve got a lot going on in here,” He said, nodding to the devices around them.
“Background noise,” Barty replied, twisting around to turn off his phone and the TV. “Now answer the fucking question. What happened to you?”
“I got out,” Evan tilted his head to the side, tone light as if this was the most simple thing in the world.
“Jesus, Rosie,” Barty’s hands were on his face again, brushing a dreadlock away so he could get a better look at his eyebrow piercing. “Okay, wait here.”
“I’m fin—“
Barty silenced him with a look, crossing the flat to the kitchen so he could grab a bowl and a roll of tissue. He washed his hands and filled the bowl with lukewarm water before returning to Evan, sitting cross-legged in front of him with the bowl balanced between his knees.
When he and Regulus were young, Sirius would tend to their wounds on the daily. He would work hard to make sure that there was no risk of infection. Now, imitating these actions with Evan, Barty had a strange feeling twisting in his gut.
“I have to take out your piercing, Ev,” He muttered, laying a sheet of the kitchen towel out on the coffee table. “It’ll hurt.”
“It’s okay,” Evan leaned closer, lashes casting long shadows down his face.
Barty reached up hesitantly. As soon as his fingers brushed against the silver metal, Evan winced, eyes squeezing shut.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” He whispered, making quick work of unfastening and removing the bar from his eyebrow.
Once it was out, he placed the jewellery on the tissue on the coffee table and tore off a new piece, dipping it in the water and gently dabbing it over Evan’s eyebrow. He carefully tended to the rest of his cuts, wiping away dried blood and making sure any torn skin was thoroughly cleaned.
After his face was clean, Barty took Evan’s right hand into his own, brushing a finger gently over the bruises that were beginning to form. Evan hissed, instinctively trying to pull it away, but Barty just held on tighter.
“Did he hit you?” Barty asked eventually, lifting his gaze back up to meet Evan’s.
“Barty—”
“ Did he hit you ?”
Evan, head resting on the back of the sofa, blinked at Barty and offered a sad sort of smile. “A little.”
“ This is not ‘a little’, Evan. You—look at you.”
“He looks worse,” The older man shrugged, wincing again. His breathing was uneven, chest stuttering with every inhale.
“That’s not reassuring.”
Evan raised his untouched eyebrow. “Bat, I—uh, I don’t want to talk about this, okay? Not never , but not right now.”
Something like desperation curled between Evan’s eyebrows. Barty chewed on his bottom lip.
“Okay. But if you ever feel—not good, please talk to me.”
Evan cleared his throat awkwardly. “Yeah. I will.”
Barty’s gaze lingered on the older man’s face for a beat before he sighed and reached over to pick up the TV remote.
“What do you want to watch?” He asked, settling into Evan’s side whilst carefully avoiding his injuries.
“I’m easy.”
Barty hummed. He browsed Regulus’ Disney+ account until he finally landed on Pretty Woman . He set the remote down with a smile. “This shit is so good.”
Evan shifted so he could see the screen properly, Barty’s hand moving to his hair. “Can’t say I’ve ever seen it.”
“ What ,” Barty’s hand halted. “You haven’t watched Pretty Woman?”
Evan chuckled. “I haven’t.”
“Oh, Rosie ,” Barty patted his head once, twice, three times. “You’re in for a treat.”
—
“Wait—why didn’t she take the money?” Evan asked as Julia Roberts’ character stormed out of the hotel room.
Barty raised his eyebrow. “Because she’s hurt, Ev.”
“That’s three bags, Bats.”
Barty let out a snort, lightly shoving Evan’s shoulder. “ Not the point. It was about the money at first, obviously. But look at how she just reacted to him telling Stuckey she’s a hooker. She likes him. It’s not about the money anymore, it’s the principle—she values the connection they’ve made more than she’d value three-thousand dollars.”
Evan stayed quiet for a moment. “Remember how you called me a nerd for rambling about Jane Eyre?”
“Yeah?”
“You’re a nerd too.”
Barty shifted, shooting him an affronted look. “What? No, I’m not.”
“Oh, you so are,” Evan laughed. “How many times have you watched this?”
“Irrelevant!” Barty shook his head. “I am not a nerd.”
Evan reached behind himself to pat Barty’s cheek. “Sure, angel.”
“ Angel? ”
The blonde hummed thoughtfully. “I might be a little high.”
“High?” Barty barked out a surprised laugh. “How?”
Evan shrugged, dropping his head down onto Barty’s chest. “Grabbed something before I left. Fuck knows what it was. You’re my angel regardless.”
A feeling of fondness rose in Barty’s chest, a pleasant warmth settling there.
“Okay, Rosie. I can be your angel.”

sunday 29th january
Evan had been walking around with a cloud over his head, rumbling and dark, emotions ready to spill from the seams at any given moment.
Barty hadn’t seen much of him in the first couple of weeks in January because of his mock exams, but they had been together almost every day since they had ended. Evan was practically reeling from his thoughts, but he refused to talk to anyone about them.
James’ house felt as though it was held together by nothing but the bated breath shared between the residents.
Regulus and Sirius were with James, preparing the food for that evening. His mother was tending to the garden and his father was apparently stuck in a meeting at work. That left Barty curled into an armchair in the living room, eyeing Evan as he typed furiously on his phone.
The TV played in a quiet murmur, offering Barty the background noise he needed to keep him from the inevitable spiral waiting for him in his buzzing mind.
Evan had barely spoken a word all weekend. He had smiled kindly at Barty that morning, had pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth with the same affection he always had, but the crease between his eyebrows was seemingly permanent.
Barty knew that Evan hadn’t really slept in the month he’d been away from his father, and he knew that whatever had happened that week was eating him up from the inside, but the older man refused to talk about it.
Whenever Barty brought it up, Evan either had a distraction at the ready, or he simply shut the conversation down. It wasn’t exactly news to Barty that Evan was uncomfortable discussing his feelings, but despite that, he had assumed that he would want to get this particular topic off his chest.
Barty was torn from his thoughts as Evan let out a harsh curse, throwing his phone across to the sofa opposite him. The other man buried his face into his hands, his leg bobbing up and down in jittery movements.
“Evan?” Barty spoke cautiously, picking at his cuticles. “You okay?”
Evan dragged a hand slowly down his face. “Yeah. Shit, yeah, I’m fine.”
“Are you sure? If you’re not—“
“Barty,” His voice was firm, eyes red-rimmed as he looked at Barty. “I’m fine.”
Barty bit his lip, shifting so his legs fell from where they were hooked over the armrest. “Ev…”
“Don’t, Bat, please.”
“It’s been a month. You have to talk about it. You have to tell me what happened.”
Evan shook his head, hands tugging harshly at his dreadlocks. “I don’t have to do anything.”
Barty fixed him with a look. “You’ve barely said a word to any of us since Reg and I have been here. You’ve been distant and—and distracted for weeks now. Something happened to you, it was traumatic and it sucks but you have to talk about it. If you don’t want to tell me, fine, whatever, but you need to tell someone .”
“Nothing happened,” He said quickly, averting his gaze.
“Then what’s wrong?”
“Jesus, Barty, can you just back off?” Evan stood up and rounded the coffee table to collect his phone. “Nothing’s wrong, I’m fine . I don’t need you asking me what’s wrong every second of my fucking life, its suffocating.”
Barty’s jaw twitched. He clenched his fist, nails digging crescent moons into his palms. “Fine.”
He stood up, biting down hard on his tongue, and exited the room. Evan let out a frustrated sigh behind him.
“Barty, wait—“
“Fuck you, Evan,” Barty spat, continuing into the kitchen where he’d left his jacket. Regulus, James and Sirius were gathered around the island, trying and failing to look as though they hadn’t been listening.
“I just don’t want to talk about it. Is it really that big a deal?”
“Yes, it’s that big a deal,” Barty scowled, swinging his jacket over his arms.
“Really?” Evan’s voice raised slightly. “Why?”
“ Because ,” He seethed, spinning around to face him. “You’re taking it out on us! Do you know how fucking unfair it is to feel like I’m walking on eggshells around you? You’re my—we’re—whatever this is, I shouldn’t feel like that,” Barty gestured behind him where James was standing, frozen. “I even heard you yell at James the other day. Who does that? You may as well be kicking a fucking puppy.”
“Look, Evan,” He continued, patting down his pockets to make sure he had his house keys. “You’re literally an adult, you’re more than capable of dealing with shit on your own. If you really don’t want to talk, that’s fine. But don’t expect me to just sit here and let you walk all over me.”
Before Evan could respond to his outburst, he turned to Regulus. “I’m going home. See you later.”
“Wait, you can’t just leave,” Evan reached a hand out to grip his wrist. “I’m not good at talking. Please understand that.”
Barty raised an eyebrow. “Are you kidding? Evan, you’re standing in a room full of possibly the only people that will understand you.”
“I just—I can’t—“ Evan let out a frustrated groan, hands flying up in exasperation. In hindsight, Evan hadn’t meant it, voice slightly raised and the vein in his neck protruding, but in that moment, Barty was back in his childhood house, cowering under a forceful fist.
For the first time in his life, Barty flinched away from someone other than his father.
Evan’s hand froze in the air.
Barty let out a shaky breath, chest heaving like all of the oxygen had been sucked from the room.
Regulus was in front of Evan in a second, hissing something through gritted teeth that Barty couldn’t quite comprehend. His blood pounded in his ears louder than any of the voices around him.
Barty felt sick. He was pathetic, truly. Ruining everything he and Evan had built with a flinch. He shouldn’t be scared of Evan, should he?
Evan wouldn’t hurt him. Evan would never hurt him. But then again, his father was never supposed to hurt him either.
“Reg—“ James’ tone was calming, but ineffective.
“How fucking dare you,” Regulus spat. “You never raise your fucking hand at him.”
Barty’s chest stuttered, his breathing shallow. He opened his eyes slowly, finding Evan already looking at him. He fought the urge to run.
Evan stayed quiet, mouth slightly open, eyes still blown wide like saucers.
Regulus continued, sharp voice cutting through Barty’s ears. He jabbed at Evan’s chest to punctuate his every word, face twisting into a tighter scowl.
“Regulus, enough,” James pulled him away from Evan.
“Barty—“ Evan tried, stepping closer.
Barty stepped back on instinct, wrapped his arms around his stomach. His breath catching in his throat as Sirius appeared in front of him. The ravenette didn’t try to reach out, simply spoke in a quiet voice.
“Do you want me to take you home, kid?”
He nodded at Sirius, who led him from the room with a barely-there hand at his back.
The ride back to the flat was silent. Sirius had assured him that Regulus would be back soon as the younger boy stumbled out of the car and up to his flat.
Barty’s ears rang. He switched on the TV as soon as he was through the door and turned the volume up to a maximum.
He didn’t sit down. Adrenaline rushed over him in waves, merciless and suffocating.
Evan would never hurt him.
Would he?
No. No, of course not. It was Evan.
Barty groaned, digging the heels of his hands into his eyes. “Fuck.”
Panic rose in his chest. Evan was probably upset with him for even entertaining the idea that he could stoop so low.
The tension in the air had wrapped the two of them in a tight knot, their breaths had felt claustrophobic. Evan had looked angry in a way Barty had never seen before.
His eyes had practically spilled over with fury—fury aimed at Barty.
Leaving the TV on, Barty crossed the flat to the bathroom. He stripped quickly and turned on the shower. The scalding water hit his skin like a slap, chasing away the regret that burned in his stomach.
Each of his nerves were frayed, electricity sparking at the ends. His fingers twitched with restlessness.
Barty did what he could to keep himself busy. To stop his mind wandering to what if Evan’s hand had kept going .
For the next hour, he cleaned. Despite the angry knocks at the door from his neighbours, the TV remained at full volume.
Barty cleaned the kitchen, the still-wet bathroom. He cleaned both his and Regulus’ bedrooms and that stubborn spot behind the fridge that, no matter how hard he scrubbed, never seemed fucking clean.
Regulus didn’t return until the floors had been scoured for the third time. The ghost of a sympathetic smile shone through his usually indifferent expression, but it was gone before Barty could really notice it.
“Hey,” He said, abandoning his bag by the door.
“Is Evan mad?” Barty spoke before he could think.
Regulus frowned. “What?”
“Did I make him mad? I didn’t mean to flinch, I—I don’t know why I did. I don’t want him to think that I think he could do something like that.”
“No, he’s not mad,” Regulus said softly, wrinkling his nose slightly at the smell of bleach. “He’s…scared.”
“Scared of what?”
“Himself. For making you flinch.”
“God,” Barty huffed, setting his cleaning supplies down on the kitchen island.
“This isn’t your fault, Bee. It was instinct,” Regulus shrugged off his jacket. “He understands that. You were both born into a world you learned wasn’t safe the hard way. But you both chose each other anyway. He gets it. If you need space, then take it, but when you’re ready to talk, I think it’s important that you do.”
“D’you think I should go now?”
“Are you ready now?”
Something like fear curled uncomfortably in Barty’s stomach. “No.”
Regulus shrugged. “Then don’t. He’ll wait for you.”

It had been two weeks since Barty had left the Potter’s house, hands shaking like the fragile flame of a candle in the wind.
He wanted to go earlier, to make sure Evan knew that they were okay, that he knew he would never hurt him. Something held him back. He wasn’t sure what.
But now, two weeks had passed and Barty was driving himself insane with no contact. Regulus had told Evan to give him space, so neither one of them had heard from the other.
The front door was open when Barty stepped out of his Uber, James was bent down in front of it to pick up a package that had arrived.
“Hey, Junior,” He offered a small wave. “Evan’s upstairs.”
“Thanks,” Barty bit his lip, hesitating at the threshold.
“You okay?”
“Nervous,” Barty waved him off. “I’m good.”
“He missed you,” James said quietly.
Barty huffed out a small puff of air, eyes straying to the staircase. “In his room?”
James nodded, shooting Barty a small smile before he disappeared further into the house.
Walking up the stairs, Barty felt like a man condemned. A tugging in his stomach made him feel slightly dizzy, the weeks of distance that stretched between him and Evan felt like a great chasm, growing larger by the second.
He would be lying if he said he wasn’t absolutely shitting himself. He felt pathetic. Pathetic for flinching, pathetic for not reaching out.
Barty wasn’t entirely sure why he had waited so long to talk to Evan. He’d spent days mulling it over, but not a single reason made sense to him.
He approached Evan’s door quicker than he had wanted to. Heart pounding, he knocked.
A few seconds passed before Evan answered. His dreadlocks were tied up in a half bun, the bottom few brushing over the top of one of James’ old football hoodies.
He looked like shit, for lack of a better word. Barty felt his heart clench slightly at the sight of Evan’s bitten lips and broken cuticles. Guilt sank in his stomach like a stone.
“Bat,” Evan muttered, clearing his throat. He opened the door wider to let Barty in.
“Hey.”
Evan’s room was tidy. Each of his belongings hidden away like he was afraid to be truly seen. The only thing that stood out to Barty was his bed. Unmade, duvet halfway to the floor, laptop opened beside a crumpled pillow. The curtains were closed, allowing no light into the room save for that coming from the shark lamp on his bedside table, gifted to him by Marlene.
“So. It’s been a second,” Barty said, hovering just in front of the threshold.
“Yeah,” Evan let out a humourless laugh. “It has.”
“Did I wake you up?” Barty questioned, following Evan’s lead as he sat cross-legged on the bed.
The latter shook his head. “I was watching something.”
Barty cocked his head to the side, a silent question.
The corner of Evan’s lips curled into a smile so small that Barty would’ve missed it, had he not been paying such close attention. “Pretty Woman.”
The brunette grinned, bright enough to light up the dark room. “You like it?”
Evan hummed. “It’s…comforting.”
Barty’s grin widened, but it was short lived. He sighed, flopping back until he was lying against the pillows. “Okay, I have something to say.”
“Can I go first?”
Barty lifted his head enough to glance up at him curiously, wondering what he possibly had to say. “Okay.”
“Bear with me because I really—I struggle with this sort of stuff,” Evan’s tongue darted out quickly to moisten his lips. “I’m sorry. For raising my hand like that. I mean, I wasn’t going to touch you, but I’m sorry I even made you think that I would. I really—I don’t want you to be afraid of me.”
Barty sat up, lips drawn tightly together. “I’m not afraid. I came here to apologise to you. I don’t know why I flinched but it had nothing to do with you. I—I’m not sure why it took so long for me to actually say that. I guess we’re both pretty bad at this.”
Evan just shrugged, a sad sort of smile gracing his face. It was soft, careful. Barty had always loved soft things. “It triggered something for you. I don’t blame you.”
“Reg said something smart the other day,” Barty scrunched up his nose as he tried to remember, leaning back onto his elbows. “‘You were both born into a world you learned wasn’t safe the hard way. But you chose each other anyway.’ We understand each other, or something like that.”
Evan snorted. “Wise words from a guy that spent almost two hours yelling at me. He’s so gentle with you.”
Barty couldn’t help but scoff at that. “Gentle? Are you serious? He hung me out the window by my fucking collar because I used his charger. That’s not gentle.”
“Then I’d hate to imagine what he’d do to me,” Evan shifted, propping himself up on his side to face Barty. “He may be a wank towards you but he’s very protective. And very scary for such a small person.”
“I’ll believe it when I see it.”
Evan smiled, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. He bit down on his lip, chewing gently at the soft flesh. After a minute of silence passed between them, his gaze met Barty’s.
“I have something else to say.”
“Go on,” Barty nodded, sitting up again.
“About what my dad did,” He hesitated, reaching up to tug his dreadlocks out of the half-bun they were in.
Barty waited patiently for him to stop fidgeting.
“It wasn’t just about Christmas,” Evan’s voice eventually filled the room that suddenly felt far too big for the two of them. “I mean, it was. But it wasn’t…”
“What?”
“He didn’t do all that—“ He swallowed. “He didn’t hit me like that just because I was late for Christmas.”
“Then why?”
“He found out. About you. About me—that I’m gay.”
“Oh,” Barty breathed, gut twisting. “I—oh.”
“He touched—uh. He touched— well, he tried to,” Evan cleared his throat, lifting teary eyes to the ceiling. “I can’t—don’t make me say it.”
Barty lifted a hand to his mouth, a sick feeling weighing heavy in his stomach like rocks in his pockets. “Oh, God.”
“He didn’t—it wasn’t—“ Evan took a deep breath. “It wasn’t like that , but it wasn’t…it was on the night that I came here. He tried to. He didn’t get very far.”
“That’s why you said he looked worse.”
Evan glanced back down at him again, nodding. “I need you to know that I didn’t keep this from you because I don’t trust you. It’s just—it’s really hard—“
“It’s okay. God, it’s okay,” Barty lifted his arms, a silent question. Evan accepted immediately, lunging forward to bury his face into Barty’s neck. “I’m so fucking sorry, Evan.”
The older man let out a humourless laugh, pulling away only slightly. “Don’t call me ‘Evan’. Feels too serious coming from you.”
Barty hooked his finger through the leather band on Evan’s wrist and brushed his lips gently over his cheekbone. “I shouldn’t have pushed you—“
Evan was shaking his head before Barty could finish his sentence. “You couldn’t have known.”
Barty’s face twisted in disgust, reaching up to wipe away the stray tears on Evan’s cheeks. Anger replaced the guilt he had previously felt, a hurricane of emotion climbing up his throat. “I’m going to kill your dad.”
“Hot,” The other replied without missing a beat. “I’d pay to see it,” He shifted. “I was angry at my phone the other day because I haven’t been able to get in touch with any of my cousins since they left. Their parents are keeping them away from me.”
“They’ve blocked your number?”
“My number, socials, everything,” Evan sighed. “We are the closest thing we have to an actual loving family. I—I’m the oldest, I’m supposed to take care of them.”
Barty bit his lip in thought. “Do their parents know my name?”
“Don’t think so,” Evan shrugged.
“Then use my phone. Reg, Sirius and I are the same, I get it. Use my phone. Make sure they’re okay.”
Evan smiled, leaning in to plant a kiss to the corner of Barty’s mouth. “Thank you.”
“Do you—“ Barty laced their hands together. “Do you want to talk about it anymore?”
“No. Not now. Maybe another day?”
“Okay,” Barty nodded, squeezing Evan’s hand once. “Thank you for telling me this much. Seriously.”
“Can’t have you running out on me, can I?” Evan teased, blinking away any remaining tears. He laughed lightly. “I’m not sad. I don’t know what this is.”
Barty barely suppressed his eye roll. “Rosie, there’s this really cool thing that people do. It’s called feeling. It may sound crazy to a robot such as yourself, but you will get used to it,” He paused. “And for the record, I can’t stay away from you for longer than five minutes.”
“You did , though,” Evan chuckled. “A whole two weeks.”
“Yes, well. Glitch in the matrix,” The brunette reached over to pull the laptop between the two of them. “We have, however, fixed it with our top tier communication skills—“
Evan snorted.
“And can now relax with the thought that if I ever see your dad, I will slit his throat,” Barty continued, voice airy. “Now, would you like to finish Pretty Woman, or do you want to watch something else?”
Evan just smiled, soft and gentle, eyes tracing Barty’s jawline like he was something sacred. He tilted his head slightly and pressed his lips to Barty’s covered chest. “Anything you want, angel.”
“Angel?”
“S’growing on me,” Evan shrugged. “Pretty Woman’s boring as hell, though.”
Barty gasped in faux offence. “You were literally just watching it. You have free will, you know?”
“I was watching it because it reminds me of you, not because I like it.”
“Ridiculous,” Barty murmured, barely suppressing his grin. “I’m leaving.”

Notes:
sup i hope you liked this one
okay time to get real
i started writing this fic just for funsies bc i had a whole load of marauders brainrot that i wanted to let out and the fandom was getting a little rocky with quite a few different controversies so i wanted to give to those who still considered this a safe space, and it turned out that a lot of you guys really liked it. im SO grateful for that like honestly you should see my stupid little smile every time i get a new comment. im saying all of this bc we're eight chapters in, and the main ship is together. i'm definitely going to continue adding to this because i personally love it, but i'm letting you know that i no longer have a plan for the future chapters so its probably just going to be silly and fun like the first couple were -- think of it like rosekiller fluff. honestly this is both a heads up and a huge thank you to all of those who have been reading, i love you <3as always, pleaaaase leave comments, and i'll see you for the next one :)
p.s.
feel free to check out some of the other fics i have on here (they're not all my best work, but hey i've gotta start somewhere)p.p.s
okay so i fucking wrote all of this but as im editing the format before posting and i literally thought of a plan for the next (at least) one or two chapters lmao. whatever the sentiment still stands, see u next time
