Who: Dean and Seamus
What: Friend Time
When: Tonight
Where: Dean's studio/gallery space
Rating/Warning: TBA


Dean was sitting on a stool in front of his canvas and easel, shirtless and in a pair of old, ripped up jeans. He was dressed more in paint than anything. Lately, he spent more and more days, late into the evening, at the little studio in the studio flat above his gallery. He could have turned it into a flat to live in, but he'd rather stay with Seamus, all things considered. So it was only his workspace, so Seamus' flat didn't end up covered in paint when he really got into a project. He'd given Seamus the spare key the week after the opening, when it was all ready and he knew he'd work there too much and probably need to be dragged away.

Not that Seamus had had time to do much dragging. He'd been staying at school more nights than Dean thought he should, covering for Neville of all things (which Dean found sort of hilarious) and so Dean wasn't even really sure when his mate would be around. It made it easy to forget there was a world outside his studio space while he was painting, and tonight was one of those nights as he put the finishing touches on a new piece.

"I'm glad he's found someone that makes him happy, but I want to be happy too!" he playfully pouted.

"Going out sounds good. You should go out like that, though. Birds love a working man," Seamus laughed, but pushed Dean towards the bath to take a shower.

"Birds to not like ending up covered in paint, and most places wouldn't let me in without a shirt..." He grinned back at Seamus over his shoulder, then disappeared into the studio flat's bathroom and stripped down as he started the water. He left the door open, in case Seamus wanted to talk through it, then stepped in under the spray to wash away the day's work. "Where do you want to go?" he called out over the water.

"Dunno," he called back, walking to the door frame of the bathroom then stood against it with his arms crossed. He couldn't help but look at the shadow of Dean's body through the curtain. He didn't know why, but Seamus couldn't help thinking about those boys he caught and whether or not Dean had the same issues in school.

"When did you realize you were into blokes?" he mused aloud. "I mean, was it at Hogwarts or when you were in the States?"

Dean thought he misheard him at first, because the question came out of nowhere, but after a second he shrugged it off, rinsing off his stomach and thinking about the answer.

"In school I guess, but I didn't do anything about it until the States. Really figured myself out there. why?"

"I caught a couple of students. Two blokes, out in one of the dark corners of the hallways. To be blunt, they were whacking each other off. They said that their roommates knew that they were both gay, but not that they were together, and they didn't want to make their roommates uncomfortable so they took to the halls. Which wasn't the best choice on their part but..."

Seamus sighed and went into the bath, lowering the cover of the loo to sit on it. "I don't know. It just sort of made me wonder if you went through the same thing. That you didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable and that you had to hide it from us. I felt sort of bad for them, but I had to give them detention anyway."

Dean shut the water off, sure he mostly paint free, and reached a hand out through the curtain to grab the towel hanging up so he could wrap it around himself before he stepped out. He ended up just drying off in the shower with the curtain still drawn, because he wasn't sure Seamus wanted to have this conversation while he was naked...

"Poor blokes. Must be hard for them, not wanting their roomates to know. Wasn't like that for me at all, though. There wasn't anyone I was ..." he stopped before he said 'interested in' because that wasn't true. He'd been interested in people, at Hogwarts, blokes and girls, "wasn't anyone I was with, at school, so it never really mattered. Then in the States I had my own room, when Morag wasn't crashing in my bed."

"Well, I'm glad it wasn't that way for you, then," he said as Dean stepped out of the shower in just a towel. Not that this wasn't normal for the two of them, but Seamus had been thinking about the situation more than he probably should have, and Dean standing before him in a towel wasn't help the possible issue.

"And if it helps, if I ever walk in to you doing things with a bloke in our flat, I'll just keep on walking to my room like nothing happened," he grinned up at Dean then chuckled a bit.

Dean pulled the curtain closed and snorted, shaking his head and reaching past Seamus for the clean pair of boxers he'd put there earlier to change in to. He held them in his hands, not quite willing to drop with his best friend sitting waist level in the small space.

"Not likely. If you haven't noticed, the blokes aren't breaking down the door for me any more than the girls are."

"Because you're not going out like that!" he grinned, then turned his head so Dean could put on his boxers.

"So how'd you know? That you go both ways, I mean." Now Seamus wasn't so much asking for the two students, or for Dean. But more for himself. He was always more comfortable than he should've been with blokes with it came to expressing feelings. He never thought anything of it, but after Neville accidentally mistaking him and Dean as being together, then catching the students, he'd been thinking about it more and more.

Dean chuckled, letting his towel drop and then pulling on his boxers hurriedly before picking the towel up and heading back out into the flat to where he had his bag and a change of clothes.

"How'd I know? I don't know. I was interested in other things in school, you know. After Ginny, there wasn't really anyone. And seventh year was such shite that it was just surviving that was important. I guess I started to notice things, blokes, things in my sketches..." he shrugged, looking at Seamus when he followed him out and pulling on his spare jeans before digging for a shirt. "Then a bloke at a party my first week in art school got piss drunk and kissed me, and it sort of clicked."

Things in his sketches. He was one of the things in his sketches. "So...when you were drawing me...you may have been drawing me for other reasons and just not realizing it?"

Seamus gave Dean a smile, showing that he wasn't in any way phased by it.

Dean blinked, then unexpectedly looked away from Seamus. It was rare that he couldn't met his best mate's eyes, but there was something guilty in his look - like he'd been caught at something. And suddenly finding his shirt was the most interesting thing he could do.

"Maybe, I guess. I mean, that wasn't why I sketched you..." Except, there at the end of school, if his sketches hadn't been Daphne Greengrass, they'd been Seamus.

"It's okay, if that was the case. I don't mind. I'm actually kinda flattered over it. They're great sketches and it's just you so..."

Seamus trailed off then grabbed Dean by the arm. "If it was anyone else, I'd be completely freaked out. But it's you and I'm more comfortable around you than anyone else. I just.."

Seamus really didn't know what to say. He didn't want to let on what he'd been thinking for the past month or two, but at the same time, he gave Dean a look to his best friend that he hoped the other would understand.

Dean understood - oh, he would have, if that look was coming from anyone other than Seamus. His best friend. Who, admittedly, he'd thought about looking at him that way more than once. Still, having it happen, Dean didn't know at all how he was supposed to read it.

"Well, okay then.." he said dumbly, and he licked his lips and met Seamus' eyes a little helplessly. "Shea...."

He could kiss him. The thought flitted into his mind unbidden and suddenly all the air seemed to go out of the room.

Seamus was having the same feeling. It suddenly got harder to breathe and when he tried to say something, nothing came out. Even when he tried to swallow to keep his throat from getting dry, it was almost like he was swallowing sand.

"Aye?" he finally choked out. He really wanted to suddenly tackle him, but he was so afraid of making that initial step and possibly screwing up 12 years of friendship if Dean didn't feel the same way anymore.

Dean's free hand came up and almost reached for Seamus, but ended up diverting and ending up at the back of his own neck, and he looked entirely helpless, biting his lip.

"Look, I misinterpret this stuff all the time. The last time I ... " he shook his head. "You're my best mate." And if he fucked up everything else he had, he didn't want to fuck that up.

"I. Right. Yeah, I think I was just getting caught into thinking too much," Seamus told him, smiling and giving a soft chuckle. "So what are we doing? We need to go somewhere that no one knows us. Maybe we'll run into some birds that won't turn us away for being 'Dean and Seamus from school,'".

Dean was Seamus's best friend. There was no reason for him to look into it too much, even if his brain was still playing the "what if" game.

Seamus backed down, if there had even been something there to back down from, and Dean couldn't keep back his disappointment - sighing, eyes finding the floor. It was stupid, really, he'd let himself hope for it for a second, that maybe he and Seamus were talking about the same thing, but obviously they weren't, and he should have learned better by now.

"Right," He said, finally pulling his shirt on, nodding and looking back up to Seamus with a shrug. "There's a new pub I wanted to try."

Maybe it was the whole "best friend" thing, but Seamus could sense that something was wrong with Dean, whether he wanted Seamus to know or not. So he nodded to the suggestion of a new pub, then raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, something's wrong. Did I strike a wrong chord? I didn't mean to..."

Dean frowned, looking back at Seamus and then shrugging, almost defensively. "It's nothing -" But of course it wasn't nothing, and it wasn't even a best friend thing, because Dean knew he couldn't keep his emotions off his face for a fucking second in the best of situations. He wasn't a good liar, either.

"I just thought... but don't worry about it. It's my problem. Come on, I'm hungry." Which he wasn't at all, actually, but it would get them out of the studio, and out into the air, and he could stop thinking about how easy it would be to grab Seamus and kiss him and see what happened.

"Oh come off that. What is it?"

Seamus put on his best pouty face with puppy dog eyes to get Dean to talk. Or laugh. Or both?

"Your problems are my problems cause we're best friends and I said so," he told Dean matter of factly.

Dean wished he could just be the sort of bloke who could grab someone and kiss them and not think about it or care about the consequences. He knew he wasn't that bloke, though, and after a minute he shook his head, eyes finding the floor again.

"Really, Shea, it's not the sort of thing you'd want to talk about. You just got me thinking, is all, but we're obviously thinking different things. Don't worry about it, mate."

There was something he couldn't figure out. But Dean had gotten weird after bringing up the bloke stuff and Seamus almost thought that there was going to be something and now he was thinking about it more and...

Something came over Seamus. Without even thinking about it, he grabbed Dean by the shoulders and stood on his toes and laid a kiss on Dean's lips. Nothing too deep and meaningful, but not completely stale either.

He backed away and blinked a few times and shrugged his shoulders. "Well that wasn't so bad..."

Dean thought he'd gone mad, really. Seamus took him by the shoulders - odd since he was taller, really - an then he was kissing him and it was... well, it was strange. And it was also like things were clicking and exploding behind his eyes, and before he could even respond, Seamus was pulling away.

Wasn't so bad. Dean felt like laughing, and that shrug was somehow like a challenge, and before he knew what he was doing his hand was strong on the back of Seamus' neck. "Not so bad..." he said, then pulled Seamus in against him, and said, "I can do better." Like a promise before he caught his best mate's mouth in a real kiss.

Seamus smirked at Dean and before he knew it, his eyes were closed and he was kissing Dean but it was real kissing. His head was swimming in all kinds of confusion and wonderment and holy shit Dean is a really great kisser.

However, Seamus's toes were starting to go numb from being on them so long, which made him fall away from the kiss without realizing it. "I never knew how much taller than me you actually were till right now," he told Dean, grinning, as if what had just happened was completely normal.

"Well, you're a little slow," Dean answered, and he tried to joke except his voice was hoarse and throaty and when he licked his lips he could still taste Seamus on them.

He wanted to kiss him again, and he also wanted to know what the fuck had just happened.

"Apparently observation has never been one of my strong points," Seamus shrugged.

He ran his hand over the back of his neck, still grinning, but at the same time just became completely shy. "So. That just happened, aye? I mean, I just sort of got a feeling from the conversation and...yeah."

[info]inkeddean
2010-10-14 12:39 am UTC (link)
Dean smiled, though it looked tight and nervous, really, and he wasn't used to feeling that way around Seamus. "Aye," he said, and then he sighed. "Shea... Look, I don't know what to say, alright? Except, if you don't stop looking at me like that, I'm going to do it again."

Seamus looked at Dean then looked at the ground then back at Dean, catching his eyes. "I...um...I mean...I wouldn't object. You know. If you did."

Chuckling, Seamus shrugged his shoulders. "I mean, I guess if I'm going to make out with a bloke for the first time ever, it might as well be my best mate?" It made sense to him anyway.
