HP drabble: Need, Trembling [Percy, Harry, general]
Title: Need, Trembling Author: celandineb Fandom: HP Pairing: Percy, Harry (pre-slash) Rating: general Note: Written for emiime's meme in which she gave the prompt "teacup"; the intention was to imitate her style, which I don't think I managed very well.
The teacup rattled in its saucer as Percy set it down. That never happened – Percy's long fingers were quick and precise, sure in their movements. Harry could watch him for hours as he wrote or cast spells or did something dreadfully mundane like washing up that same teacup. He tried not to, of course, not wanting Percy to realize quite how much he wished they were more than just flatmates.
Percy rubbed his thumb over the rim as if he were apologizing, with such love in the gesture that Harry involuntarily put out his own hand, needing that same touch.
