Percy was a very lonely person. He'd resigned himself to that fact early on in his life and, as he got older, he was hard-pressed to find any evidence that said he should believe otherwise. He hadn't had that many friends before his split with the family, he had even less after the fact, the only people he talked to on any sort of reliable basis either wanted to heckle him or, worse, pity him. The last thing he needed was pity; he was very well aware of the fact that his situation was wretched, and that he was supposed to be above this sort of rubbish, and that he was bloody better than the person he currently was and station he currently occupied. The only problem with life as he knew it was that he was still stuck repeating the same motions that he had been repeating for ages now. Every day was the same story with a slightly different order of events and he kept waiting for something that he knew would never came.

The only real differences were whether or not he went home, and whether or not he did anything beyond simply going right to bed. On Tuesday night, he'd done something else. He'd gotten rather drunk. Of course, it had been a wretched day at the office, but that went without saying. Every day at the office was wretched anymore. Really, though, when Percy got drunk, there often wasn't a cause for it, beyond the fact that the tedium had gotten to be too much for him and he needed some other means to facilitate his existence. He didn't do anything stupid when he got drunk, beyond the actual drinking itself, and then the requisite going to the office the next day and acting like nothing was wrong, even though his head was killing him. ...And, in this case, meeting George for lunch while hungover. Percy's headache had yet to subside, and he was well aware of the fact that he didn't look his best, but he'd been popping Muggle breath mints all day and, sitting at an out-of-the-way table in George's specified pub, he hoped that he could just chalk this up to overwork. It wasn't like that was out of character for him.

It was George's belief that no one had to be lonely. Sure, there were some circumstances that were unavoidable, like illness, mental or otherwise, but he believed the people who weren't part of those situations, and who chose to remain lonely, didn't have to be. Percy especially. Whatever the circumstances, George was determined to get his big brother back.

George stepped into the pub at exactly 12:01, looking around until he spotted a familiar shade of ginger hair tucked back into a table off to the side. ...God, Percy looked like shit. George slipped into the chair across from him, arching an eyebrow and giving his brother a critical once-over. "...Are you hungover?" he asked finally, unable to keep the surprise from his voice. Percy? Hungover? Merlin, the world must be ending.

Percy didn't have any idea how he was supposed to avoid being lonely; it'd just been how he was since time immemorial. Every large family had to have one person in it who was unfailingly lonely despite always being surrounded by people, and Percy had always been that person. His present situation was just a reflection, in his mind, of how lonely he'd always been. He didn't have any friends that he could think of -- at least not any that he trusted enough to list as the person to contact in the case of a medical emergency the last time he'd had to update his employee information card at the Ministry -- he didn't have any meaningful bonds with the people he worked with, and his family didn't want him back... except for George and Mum, apparently.

Percy looked up at George blearily and winced first at the light that he accidentally looked into, and then at the sound of George's voice. Merlin, he was being so loud -- and he didn't even have Fred there to help him. "No," Percy lied automatically... until the light made him wince again. "...Well, I might be."

"Merlin, Percy," George sighed, careful to keep his voice low. "Have you never heard of a hangover remedy?" Glancing around for a moment, he was finally able to wave down a waitress, motioning her closer so he wouldn't have to shout. "Could we get a Bloody Mary and some fruit, please, love? Bananas, if you have them. And two glasses of milk. Thank you."

As she went off, George turned back to Percy, looking him over one more time. ...Merlin, his big brother needed to come home. "So what was the occasion?" he asked quietly.
