Rhys looked at Pickering with his mouth opened, eyes opened wide. How on earth did he just know this information when he already graduated?
“You can kiss on school property?” Did Rhys aware his voice heightened up, the creature in between them almost screeched but he calmed it down with a gentle stroke on its belly. Even though in this case, it was a bit obscure, which one that needed to be calmed down.
“Lad! I need to wait until the weekend so I can snog my bird in Hogsmeade. If only I knew we could snog in the closet, they might not whine all the time.” There was a grunts from his side, let himself collapse to the bed and covered his naked chest with a blanket. “I thought I’m shit at gossiping but I’m shit at knowing information too.”
He could imagine how easy his life would be if he could just kiss his girlfriend who gave him a pout or attitude. The turnover might be not in every three months.
“Why? Because since you mentioned it, I never had a thought about that. I mean, I don’t give a wee bit care about it but I knew muggle world is a harsh place for gay so I wonder in here too… I thought you said that to trick me, so you can drag me to the camp.”

Remy always thought of himself as the latest to get to a juicy bit of gossip, but lo and behold, there was someone who didn't even know they could kiss in school.
"Oh boy," he shook his head, temporarily stopped petting the Kneazle between them, which were protested via a headbutt to his palm. He resumed stroking the animal's head. "Of course you can! Just make sure no one caught you. Have you never heard what people got up to in the Prefects' bathroom?"
He was no Prefect but even he'd heard how lavish and opulent the Prefects' bathroom were, and how you could practically swim in the bath tub. He could never relate to that. And, of course, the rumours that people often went there together, and he could fill the blanks himself. And Kelly never had any idea?
"Why would I drag you there?" he asked, rhetorically. "I mean, I know people who do, but I never agreed with that."
But hang on. Did Kelly just said what he thought Kelly just said.
"So you...? Really?"
Just to make sure.

He could see the ray of the sun and yet downstairs still had this party going on. Something to do with the quidditch team which he was not fond of the game whatsoever. The stories Pickering just told him just made Rhys even worse. It felt like he lost his youth. He was going to be nineteen and had limited experience.
“No, well, I don’t know, maybe? Maybe not.” Rhys was even unsure what to answer. “I mean, my whole life I was always with a bird, but I don’t find it repulsive to see a lad with another lad.” He frowned even when his eyes looked straight to the ceiling.
“I don’t know if I’m ok with it, or don’t give a shit about it, or I want it. Just, I found nothing revolting from there.” His eyes moved to Pickering who was still busy caressing the kneazle that somehow it felt like theirs. “Don’t worry, it’s not like I’m going to attack you tonight. I’m just curious, you know?”

How on earth people party this early in the morning, he would never understand. He didn't understand Quidditch either even though he watched football sometimes when there was a match near his house and his father took him there, but he never got that into Quidditch.
"At least you dated a bird before," he shrugged. He could only imagine what it was like to kiss someone, to do even more with them. It seemed impossible to him. Lots of others did that, and good for them, but he couldn't see being with anyone. At least not in the near future. In the meantime he just had to be content with seeing pictures of handsome men in magazines and just imagine.
His head whipped so fast in Kelly's direction as he heard what Kelly said. He stared in disbelief. First Kelly said that he was not gay, not really, and now he talked about attacking him. He heard it right... right?
"If you attacked me tonight—" I think I wouldn't resist "—I think I could throw you out the window."

“Birds, changed every three months at least. Until they fed up with me because I never put them as priority. But I can’t just say no when they ask.”
The fact that Rhys has almost never been single since fifteen resulted from being unable to reject someone's invitation for a relationship. To the latest, all of them came from a woman. A man never came to him and asked him, which made Rhys wonder if that would happen. What would Rhys do?
“Yey! Free flying class!” He laughed at the treat that came from Pickering. Expected? Yes. “Nah, I couldn’t even kiss someone if I still called them on a surname basis. It less intimate to my liking” and it was true. Saying yes to anything, didn’t necessarily he just did it mindlessly. Rhys too benefited from the relationship, enjoying the intimacy he shared, and the warm being belonging to someone else’ life.
“I don’t like how your name taste in my mouth, Ephraim.” Was it the first time Rhys mentioned the man’s name? “When I said it, it makes me feel like a sinner to be a pagan, although my belief is more ancient than yours.”
And he said it again, this one a tad slower.
“Ephraim.”

"Every three months?" The mind boggled. Just how many girls did Kelly date back in school? More than ten, at least. He never even knew Kelly had that much in him. It was really unbelievable.
He never knew anyone who cheered in response to a threat. Only Kelly. The Kneazle between them got up, maybe he got fed up with them already, and slipped out through the window. Just as he was starting to get comfortable. Maybe he should get a cat.
What came out from Kelly's mouth next made him gulp. Kelly started calling him by his Christian name—one that even his mum rarely call, and only when she was mad. But from Kelly—it was something else altogether. The sound of his name from Kelly went straight down his spine, to another body part altogether, and it would be dangerous if this continue.
It would be, but he didn't have it in him to stop Kelly.
"Stop it," he rasped, cleared his throat, then he tried again to sound more authoritative. "Stop it, Kelly."

Was he proud? Maybe, He didn’t take pride in his relationship because all of them obviously failed. Saying he kept changing his partner because he was stating the fact not to make himself better than anyone else.
A stern voice came from Pickering, asking him to stop. Rhys obeyed, aware in the end they were strangers after all. It would be weird to call themselves on a first name basis when there was no basis for their relationship. The friendship didn’t grow even though they spent seven years under the same roof.
He felt the heaviness from the cat-like creature now lifted but for some unknown reason there was invisible heaviness in his chest. “Sorry.” he said with a thin smile on his face, it felt that Rhys already crossed the line. There was no friendly invitation there.
“Right, we kept saying we knackered, guess we should sleep. The sun is already out, I need a rest.” He laid on his side, and gave his back to Pickering. “Night, night, Pickering.”

The moment broke as soon as he asked Kelly to stop. Good, because if Kelly kept saying that there would be no chance that he could stop himself from getting bothered. As Kelly turned and laid on his side, he laid on his back, staring at the ceiling. He could hear some rustling, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw three more rats scurrying around their frozen friend. He grabbed his wand that he put on the side table and froze them as well. He turned to his side as well, facing the other direction, and tried to sleep as well. He really was tired, after all. *
Warmth was the first thing he noticed when he slowly woke up. No, not the kind of warmth coming from the hot summer days, it was a different kind of warmth, one that made him want to just close his eyes again and continue to sleep. He had, actually, fallen asleep once more, just for several minutes before he finally opened his eyes and realized that the warmth he'd been enjoying was... Kelly. Remy couldn't pull himself away fast enough when he realized that he'd been cuddling Kelly for God knows how long. His heart thumped loudly in his ribcage. "Fuck!" He cursed in almost a whisper, and quickly grabbed his belongings—wand, trousers, shoes, jacket, and his bag, which was slightly open, likely because he never closed it properly in the first place—and Apparated home, his state of undress be damned. In his hurry, he didn't realize that his journal had fallen out of his bag. But he needed to get away quick, and it was exactly what he did. He only hoped that Kelly had slept all through that experience and never realized what had happened. [FIN]
