Movie night!
WHO: Justin and Wayne
WHEN: Friday night
WHERE: London
WHAT: Justin was bored, so he made sure he wasn't.
RATING:
STATUS:

Usually, Justin spent Friday nights with Seamus. Or at least that's what had happened in the past few weeks so when the plans had turned out to be for Saturday morning movie, he had picked up parchment and pen.

Wayne,

I know this is last minute but, are you free this evening? Movie, food and drinks?

Justin

He had sent the owl early enough in the day so that Wayne could have enough time to check his schedule and answer him.

The answer was favorable, but he wasn't too sure if they should go out of not, so he pretty much gave Wayne his address, mentioning that he had to come over the Muggle way as no one but a select few could Apparate in his flat directly.

"Honestly, HOW can a person never have had a Big Mac? How is it even possible? I mean," he continued, "okay, living in the magical world is one thing. But it is ultimately the same planet, after all. Christ. But yeah, it was fun. Nice to catch up with people I haven't seen or heard from in aeons."

Not that he hadn't slipped under the radar on purpose, but....

"Plus, if mum hadn't booted me, I'd probably be zonked out on the sofa or playing ps2 and getting baked with my neighbours back in Merthyr. Good company, I tell ya."

Justin chuckled. "I never brought Ernie to McDonald's." He admitted, then he chewed his lower lip. "I introduced him to a bunch of things but.." He wasn't going to mention this to Wayne, but McDonald's just wasn't part of his life. He'd been there once and had immediately preferred a nice, good burger on the grill rather than a Big Mac.

"I'm not saying your Mum did the best thing but," he looked at Wayne and frowned. Maybe she had done the best thing after all. It sort of forced Wayne to take his responsibilities. "We should do this more often then, because I-" He didn't want to tell him that he hated being alone, but eventually he'd find out. "I like having people over."

"Well, I like being over," Wayne replied easily, clinking their bottles together.

"That whole not-seeing-each-other-for-eight-years thing? Let's not do that again. That sucked. Zero of five stars." Wayne took another drink - god, it was good. Why had he stopped again?

His mind flashed back to his conversation that morning with Dennis. Stuff like that was why he drank, seriously.

"So how's it going with Seamus, eh?" he asked, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. "Mister not-really-dating-but... come ON, you must have fucked at least once, right? He's a Gryffindor - I bet he's really aggressive in bed. Oh--" Wait, bad topic? "Sorry. Is that a bad thing to ask? Did I go too far? Sometimes I...yeah, people skills. Rusty."

Justin had shifted on the couch and was now facing Wayne, finding support on the back of it. He doubted that Wayne knew how shaken he had been when on September 1st of their 6th Year. How he had searched him on the train that day and had hoped beyond all hopes that he'd turn up at the feast.

"We're not a couple." He told Wayne blushing a little. Damn, was he already halfway through his beer already? "We're friends." Their close friends knew about them having sex together, but was it really something he wanted to tell Wayne? He had a flash of the last time they'd have sex and he bit his lower lip.

How often had they fucked on that very couch, huh?

Wayne shook his head, smiling. "Nah. I'm not buying it." He enjoyed watching Justin blush, though - it was cute. People like Justin had this unnatural talent of being adorable until it was suddenly surprisingly sexy.

Wayne polished off his beer and hoisted himself from the couch. "I'm getting another. You want another? I'm bringing you another." Not that he intended Justin to keep up with him - clearly Justin wasn't as practiced as Wayne was - but it would at least save them a trip.

"So spill. He's not all Graham Norton is he? I doubt it. Tell us all, then."

Justin sighed and shook his head. "You should." He said with a chuckle. He wasn't going to tell Wayne that he was regularly sleeping with Seamus, to him it would be a lack of respect towards his friend. Not that it was an absolute secret, but he'd rather keep it discreet.

"No thanks I am fine with one." He said, then when Wayne back he bit his lower lip. "That's pretty much the only one I'll have otherwise, well.." he paused a moment and smiled. "Two and I can't promise I won't be flirting with you and it could get awkward."

"Well no, Seamus is.." He cleared his throat and shifted. "He's a very virile, manly Irishman." he said, looking away for a moment. "I'm attracted to him for that reason."

"Oh, God, no," Wayne whined in complete sarcasm. "No, no boys flirting with boys, that's just, oh, god, no, gotta go." He rolled his eyes and plopped back down on the sofa next to Justin, handing him the fresh bottle to set aside.

As Justin described Seamus, Wayne's grin grew wider until he started giggling. "Virile? Did you just use the word 'virile?' And you're 'attracted to him for that reason?' You sound like you're writing a bloody dissertation. Come ON, Justin! I'm not freaking grading your answers, y'know. It's me." Not that Justin had had much chance to get used to Wayne being himself, at least the way he'd grown and changed in recent years.

But he hadn't changed that much. Honestly.

"So why aren't you actually a thing, if you're like, regularly fucking and shit? Is he - he's not stealing your virtue or some shit, is he? Am I gonna have to kick in his head? I can, if you want." Wayne was actually primed to kick in heads, especially in the context of Gryffindors, with what had happened earlier today with Dennis.

"Not awkward like that more like.." He made a gesture with his free hand but then gave up. Ernie would have understood what he meant by awkward, but he couldn't tell Wayne that it would be awkward for him because he used to have feeling for him.

He drank the rest of his beer and shook his head. "You are making fun of my vocabulary again, I kind of missed that." He said with a slight blush. "But yeah, he's all that."

"So you'll never believe me if I keep telling you over and over, huh?" He asked then looked at his beer, which was now empty. "Be right back." He left the couch to get a new beef for himself and came back, knowing it could end badly for him to be drinking more.

"We're still friends though." Even if he admitted to sleeping with Seamus, he wouldn't admit his confusion as far as his emotions for the Gryffindor were concerned.

"But see, I can't help but make fun of your vocabulary. You realize that most of the people I know back home don't know half the words you know, right? It's just so posh. It's adorable.." Wayne set aside his empty bottle and cracked open his second.

"A-HA!" he exclaimed victoriously. "I knew it! You are, aren't you. I knew it. And you say you're...still friends? How's that going, eh? This guy I know back home - he's an arsehole, whatever - but he used to say you can't be friends with anyone you're attracted to, and I'm like...well, I can verify that, for sure. I'm bisexual and I have no friends. But what were we saying?"

Another pull from the bottle. "Right. I was grilling you on what it's like sleeping with an Irish Gryffindor. Virile, manly, et cetera? Want to throw any more adjectives?"

Justin shook his head and blushed. "It's all about why and not the how." He said. "There is a level of trust between us that I haven't found anywhere else. And.." He knew he'd sound crazy because there existed in the world, people who didn't feel the same as he did about sex. "And I need this. I need to be able to trust the man I'm bringing home." he told Wayne. Justin needed time to build up friendships, time to get comfortable with people and he had Seamus.

"It's less complicated, for me anyway, to let Seamus in." He shrugged and took a few sips from his bottle. "Metaphorically and literally. I don't let any one I don't trust in here," He motioned around himself for the flat. "And in here." He added, bringing his hand to his heart.

"You got lucky, because I already knew you from before all of this shit that happened and it didn't take long to realize that you are still you." Oooh, alcohol in his blood stream. Now his tongue loosened.

"You keep grilling me, Hopkins and you know what will happen." He teased him, winking as he took a pull from his own drink.

Wayne nodded slowly as Justin spoke, somehow forgetting that sleeping with someone could also mean you cared for them. Casual sex just seemed easier, Wayne thought, at least for him.

Of course, where had that gotten him, most recently? Somehow he'd ended up really hurting someone, more than he'd even thought the first time he'd tried to get sober because of it.

Well, the most recent time he'd tried to get sober, anyway. That was then.

"Of course I'm still me, you adorable moron," Wayne said affectionately, giving Justin a light shove. "I'm not going to be a very good impression of anyone else, now, am I?"

And then Justin winked and Wayne shivered a little at the sudden change of tone. "Oh, really then?" he asked, digging further. "What could possibly happen? You blush so hard it turns into an actual sunburn? Don't be ashamed, Justin. Sex is fun, remember?"

Not that they'd known each other when they'd been having sex. At least, that Wayne knew of.

Justin had brought his bottle to his lips and grinned before taking a pull. "Okay, so I'm adorable? Where did that come from? I don't remember you telling me I was adorable before. You make me sound like a kitten." He said, then he chuckled.

"Oh.. oh no. I'm beyond blushing. You never knew this Justin because we never drank together and I had never had anything to keep to myself before. But.." He shook his head. "Keep grilling and you will never want to come over again. Or at least sit on this couch."

Wayne grinned and nodded, unconsciously watching Justin's lips on the bottle. Yep, definitely adorable. Adorable-slash-surprise-sexy.

His grin dropped and eyes bulged as Justin mentioned the couch, though, and Wayne lept up, knocking over his beer bottle. It was more than half empty, so nothing spilled, but..."Seriously? This sofa? PLEASE tell me you've at least steam cleaned it or something. God. When a man says he wants details, he doesn't actually want--"

But maybe he did. Just...not the details of where he was sitting.

"What surfaces are safe?" he asked in mock hysteria. "And I was going to bring my son here! How should I explain spunk-on-another-man's-sofa to an eight year old? Justin fucking Finch-Fletchley."

Of course, now all he could imagine was Justin straddling Seamus, riding him and making all sorts of noises. Wayne flushed.

Justin laughed so hard, tears were streaming down his face and his abs hurt. "Aww come on," He started, then laughed again, wheezing through the whole thing. "I may be a lousy cook, but I'm great at keeping things clean."

Poor Wayne, Justin thought. "Come on, don't be like that. Rhys is perfectly safe here. Everything is safe." It was true, Justin did clean up pretty well and was very adamant about keeping the place clean.

Wayne gingerly sat back down on the sofa next to Justin, giving him a side-eye.

"If you say so," he said daintily, then relaxed back into himself. "And you may be a lousy cook, but take it from someone who professionally prepares lousy food - nine times out of ten, the problem is heat. Stick to salads and cold things and you're much less likely to burn it." Wayne imagined Justin was the type who could burn water, but he didn't say anything about it - no reason to make possibly hurtful conjectures.

He'd hurt enough people for one day. Dammit. Why couldn't he stop thinking about it?

"So you and Seamus are doing the nasty, but you're not dating, and you're friends. Is that the long and the short of it?" he asked, only slightly intending the innuendo at the end. "Well, cheers. I apparently can't even have casual sex without hurting anyone." He clinked his empty (when had that happened?) bottle with the one Justin was holding, and reached for a fresh one. Third? He counted empties - two for him, and the one Justin was on. Not in it too deep, then.

Justin snorted. Not something he did all that often, but he was tipsy at this was way funny. "Since when are you calling it nasty?" He asked. "Because earlier you called it, sex and fucking but now it's.. nasty?"

He tilted his head on the side and grinned. "You jealous?" He asked jokingly. Of course Wayne wouldn't be jealous, it was probably just one more thing they said differently.

"Well," Wayne replied generously, "on one hand, it was the next euphemism that came to mind. But depending on your partner..." he pulled a wincing face. "There've been some pretty awful surprises, mate."

Jealous. Was he jealous? Maybe. Of what, though?

"I think I'm just jealous of your being able to sleep with someone and not have them hate you afterwards. That seems to be a particular talent of late, with me. I have the tendency to put my foot in it -- my mouth tends to get me in trouble." Wayne paused and grinned. "Yeah, that's usually when the trouble starts, when I use my mouth." He was proud of those particular talents of his. He cultivated them well.

"No it's not nasty because we're wizards and I cleaned the place thoroughly." There were still tears rolling down because he was definitely still laughing at Wayne's reaction.

"Hey, don't underestimate my ability to fuck up, ok?" Sometimes when Wayne talked about it, he had this feeling that the other man thought he farted rainbows or something. "I've have had my share of misunderstandings. The trick is to wait until everyone's calmed down and explain." Or lie. Or pretend that nothing happened. Sometimes that worked too.

See, Justin could say that he fucked up, but Wayne was still pretty certain that he could fuck up way worse than Justin ever could, and without even trying. Take Dennis, for example. If Justin were moved to have a one-night-stand, he could probably do it without creating so much bitterness that he'd incur the wrath of at least two friends, and make the subject of said one-night-stand cry.

"The thing is, though, if I wait til everyone's calmed down, then chances are I'm going to have totally forgotten what we were mad about, and act like it didn't happen. Then when I deign to speak to them, they're all like...what the fuck are you on about, mate?" Wayne took another drink and started unwrapping the tiny little candy bars, one by one. Closing his eyes, he popped one into his mouth and tried to identify it by taste.

Cadbury Flake. Appropriate, then. Even the universe was telling him he was a flake.

"So WITHOUT DETAILS this time, because let's not kill me with information here, I take it things with Seamus are pretty good? Is he your boyfriend?" he asked, putting a school-child emphasis on the last word, before singing "Justin and Seamus kissing in a tree..."

Knowing he'd have it coming, Wayne pre-emptively ducked the oncoming headsmack.

Justin wasn't surprised that Wayne came back with the whole 'boyfriend' thing again. He seemed convinced that Justin was hiding this from him, when he actually wasn't. His relationship with Seamus was pretty simple. They were friends who enjoyed having sex together.

However, it seemed like Wayne knew what he'd do before he did it since he ducked just at the right time. As if nothing had changed over the years.

"He's not my boyfriend." He replied, shaking his head. "And you should believe me, really, because we're not together like that." He chuckled and wiped his face with his hand before taking a last pull of his beer. "We're not even exclusive or anything."
