Heath looked for the fifth time at what Orsino had said in the journals.

It seems safe, now, anyway. My dad went in, and they let him go off.

It seems safe. From where he was sitting, it didn't feel like it seemed anywhere close to being bloody safe, and he still hadn't made a decision about whether or not he'd go in himself. It didn't help that some woman had been ranting on the things about muggleborn theives, and green lights ending their begging, or whatever the bloody hell it was she'd said. Damn nutters, everywhere.

He tossed his journal onto the living room coffee table, next to his bare feet, and picked up his guitar again and the new package of strings he'd had to pick up. He'd gotten distracted during restringing when he'd picked up the journal in the first place. He'd rather be doing this, anyway.

"It's good, right? I added some peppers," Merton told him, looking pleased.

He dropped down to sit next to Heath, legs stretched out and plate balanced somewhat precariously on one knee. "Oh, because you're shagging Gid, so you might want to run about the house naked or shack up or something? I don't want to be in the way. Leigh can get me a flat and tell me where to stay and she's putting a tracking charm on me, she says. I want a dragon. Do they have little ones?"

Leigh had dragons. Merton didn't see why he could have one. Well maybe not in a flat. It might burn it down. Maybe he could have a dragon that lived on a farm somewhere and he just visited it.

"When they're babies they're little," Heath answered, because really that was easier to answer than the bit that had almost made him choke on what was actually a really passable egg sandwich, the peppers were a good addition.

He took a few more bites before he had a formulated answer. "Just because we shagged doesn't mean we're doing it again," he said, finally, the added, "And even if we are, it doesn't mean you need to leave. We run around naked when we're not shagging each other, why would that be weird?"

"They don't make miniature dragons? Why not? There's miniature everything else. I saw a miniature cow once. I think it was angry about being small." Or it'd seemed angry. Maybe it was a tiny bull though. Bulls were usually angry.

"Well it'd be different if you wanted to shag. Since then I'd be watching, and that'd just be a bit off. I don't usually watch. I used to date a bird who always wanted me to watch but what's the point when you don't get to touch too? And the other girl had big teeth. I was always worried when she bit her." Merton shrugged. "So you're not shagging all the time then? Just once? Or was that what you did when I was with Linda?"

"Just the once," Heath said, and then because he wouldn't lie to Merton, he gave him a loose, relaxed sort of shrug and turned so that his legs were drooped over his friend's. "Doesn't mean we won't do it again, but it doesn't really mean anything. I mean, we shag a lot of people, yeah?" And Gideon was his best friend, but he could separate the two in his head - the Gideon who he did everything else with, and the Gideon who'd fucked him into the sodding mattress after he'd made him beg for it. "Don't get your own place."

"Not everyone. I mean some of us are married." Merton paused. "One of us," he amended. "And some of us have girlfriends, sometimes, or boyfriends, or people we like better. And I think I slept with Leigh. . ." Which didn't have anything to do with anything, since it was just the once if it happened anyway. Merton couldn't remember that well. He also couldn't remember if he'd ever slept with Gideon, and then there had been that night when he thought he was bitten by a vampire.

So there was a lot of things Merton didn't quite remember.

"Okay. Well tell me if you want to start dating and you have to buy him flowers and I have to move out so you can adopt Chinese babies," Merton told him, grinning widely.

"Right, when I said 'we' that time I meant we as in, the three of us. We who live in this house, right now. And we bring home people and shag around and that's not changing, so there's no reason to move." Or to buy flowers or ... why would they be adopting Chinese babies?

"Why Chinese?" He said after a minute, then shook his head and reached out to smack Merton on the chest softly. "No, nevermind, I don't want to know. Besides, you move out and that d'Eath guy will start hovering around you again, all vulnerable and on your own. And didn't you burn down your last flat? So you've got to stay."

"Right," Merton agreed. "Gideon doesn't shag as many people as he says he does, though," he added sagely, grinning. And Merton hadn't had anyone back for a while either, actually. But that was mostly because he'd been eating pudding with Linda.

He wrinkled his nose, shuddering. "I would put up garlic and crosses." Which might not work. Maybe he should get silver bullets and stakes and big windows with lots of light. "I didn't burn it down. It was just sort of blackened," Merton protested. "And because they've got extra babies in China so they drown them. Or something like that. I saw something on the telly once." Or maybe they'd been talking about puppies in Australia. It was hard to remember. "It was sad though. It was a charity advert. I sent them money." Or he'd told Leigh to, anyway.

"Haven't we made a rule about you and watching the telly late at night yet?" Heath laughed though, not quite believing that Merton had that right, because there were millions of Chinese, right, so they couldn't be drowning babies. That was barbaric - and not in the sense that his fanclub would be proud of.

"He doesn't?" Heath said instead, his hand snaking up to tug at Merton's hair because it was there, and he could, and now that the moving talk was over he was back to feeling lazy and putting off restringing the guitar and worrying about things. "I knew he was full of shit."

"No," Merton answered. There'd been strong suggestions about him staying away from the telly, and even stronger suggestions from Leigh about why he shouldn't pop by her place at three in the morning to ask her to order something he'd seen on an infomercial for him. There'd also been discussions of him not trying things he saw on a cooking show, and then once a discussion on why tigers didn't make good housepets, even if he'd seen it on a nature show where they had a baby one that played with their dog. (Which led to a subsequent discussion on why he couldn't have a tiger. Or a dog.)

But technically, there wasn't a rule about telly late at night.

Merton leaned in to the petting. finishing off his own half of the sandwich in a few large bites and then chewing contentedly while Heath petted, not answering until he'd swallowed. "He does sometimes. Just not as much as he says."

"Who doesn't do what as much as he says?" Gideon came in from the front entry way where he'd just apparated in with an armload of groceries, because damned if he was going to drink nothing but water because there was nothing left but beer to drink. He eyes Heath petting Merton and then started towards the kitchen island to set the bags down so he could put the food away.

"You don't get laid as much as you say you do," Merton informed him. He craned his neck a little to see what Gideon was doing without moving out of petting range. "Except when you get laid with Heath. He remembers it, at least. Do you want me to move out? Heath said no, but I figured I should ask. Since it's your house. My room could be a nursery," Merton told him.

"Did you get Ginger Ale? Or strawberries so I can make that cake I saw that woman on telly make, with the rum in it? Or rum? Or lube. You'll need it if you and Heath are going to be shagging all over the place. Or bread? We're out."

Gideon blinked and then flushed and glared a little at Merton, and then Heath. "Who told you I got laid with Heath? He damn well better remember," he muttered, putting the groceries down with a little more force then necessary. "Why the hell would you move out? You just got back after disappearing on me. And why would we need a nursery? I have plenty of rooms here already. Who's having kids? Did you knock some bint up?"

The grocery questions, at least, were, for Merton, standard issue. "Yes, yes, yes on the rum too, and .... yes I got bread, and eggs too. " He didn't answer the lube comment, just gave Heath another look like that was HIS fault.

Heath slumped against the arm of the sofa, turned so that his legs were well and truly across Merton's lap, and made a helpless gesture with his hands. "He sussed it out on his own!" He argued, because it was obvious that Gideon was blaming him.

He looked at Merton then, grinning. "You're making rum cake?"

Merton let Heath plunk his feet in his lap. "I saw you leaving his room with sex hair," he informed Gideon with a grin. He absently plucked at a few hairs on Heath's ankle, where the leg of his trousers had ridden up. "Well he was probably sober, so remembers," Merton pointed out reasonably. "And I meant if you were shagging regularly and wanted to adopt babies."

Which he didn't actually think was likely. But was funny to think about.

He shrugged at Heath. "Maybe? Since he got eggs. I was just going to leave that part out since I used the last ones to make the sandwich."

"We are not adopting babies. Besides, we already have you. Who needs babies when you have a Merton?" He shrugged. "Even if we were shagging... regularly," Gideon pointed out, sneaking another look at Heath, "you don't have to move out. The house is fucking huge, Merton."

"Or you could join us," Heath said it offhandedly, laughing and kicking Merton's hand away. "Ouch, damn it, don't do that." But he didn't move his legs from Merton's lap, either.

"You know what you should learn to make? Baklava. Remember that, when we were in Greece?"

"I'm not a baby. I throw up less often and don't wear diapers." Well. Except for that one time, but that was when he was younger and Merton hadn't yet learned to say no to someone else's kinks. Which, actually, he still didn't, and would just go find Leigh or someone make an excuse for him. Which had led to more than a few awkward moments.

"Okay. I won't move out. But if you want me to, tell me in time to find a flat so I don't have to go stay with someone else," Merton told them, grinning and reaching to pluck a hair again. "Join you when you adopt babies, or in bed? Gideon says I already shagged him, but I don't remember, so it probably wasn't that good." Merton cocked his head. "That was good. It was all flaky though. I wonder if flakes are harder to make."

"Well, thank Merlin for that, because worrying about you burning down the house is more then enough parenting for me. That's what Leigh is for."

"We'll tell you in plenty of time, but I really don't think you gotta worry about it, Merton. And he means in bed. And yes you did, and fuck you for not remembering, I was brilliant." Gideon sniffed.

"Oh, we believe you," Heath answered cheekily, like he was on Merton's side in this, and he smirked a little, and an eyebrow arched at Gideon. "I don't know, though. Maybe that night was a fluke? I mean, it was really fucking good, but Merton here says you're all talk..."

Merton was, as usual, a step slow catching on. "I didn't mean he was all talk. Just that it wasn't good enough to remember when I was drunk," he answered.

He realized a second later and then grinned. "Oh. Well, I mean most people probably don't remember. Maybe you were just really horny that night so it seemed good?" he suggested to Heath.

He cocked his head. "I don't know. Are you going to be mad if I don't remember again?"

Gideon glared at both of them. "You know, I'd brought home subs for you fuckers, but now I think I'm going to keep them for myself, and you can eat rum cake without the cake, for all I care. Neither one of you gets another chance at playing the Piper's pipe, how's THAT then? Then I won't have to worry about this bullshit about not being memorable," he grumbled.

Heath looked to Gideon, then back at Merton. "We hurt his feelings," he said carefully, and it was obvious he was still teasing about it. "Made him feel like less of a man. Do you think he's more likely to punch something, or cry? I mean, a real man would find a better way to shut us up, but you keep pointing out he's not very impressive in that department...."

Merton frowned. "I didn't mean to hurt his feelings. It's not his fault I don't remember. I think I was drunk." Although he wasn't sure. Since he didn't remember. "I was drunk when I slept with Leigh, too, and don't remember." That one he didn't remember because it hadn't happened, but Merton thought it had.

He considered. "I think he'll eat our sandwiches. And then go play bagpipes. But it's okay. We can just snog without him." Merton wasn't completely without the ability to tease. And he didn't usually take Gideon's sulking all that seriously, because Gideon was usually still around to explain things to him, or make sure he didn't wander off, so he took the grumbling as part of his usual complaining.

He wouldn't mind if they all shagged though. Then he wouldn't have to worry about getting another flat probably, at least. Plus they were fit and Merton was easy. He grinned at Gideon and shrugged, shoving Heath's feet off and leaning in against his side instead, pressing a quick, playful kiss to his jaw.

Gideon arched a brow at Heath. "You're about as subtle as a brick wall, you know that, don't you Heath?" He rolled his eyes. "Damn right I'm going to eat your sandwiches. They will all go in my belly and then I will be too full of yummy sandwiches to play my pipes and it will be all your fault."

He tilted his head, watching the two of them for a moment. "Hey Merton, you knew the girls could get in the boy's dorm rooms at school, yeah?"

"I didn't think I needed to be subtle," Heath said, smirking. "You need to be romanced?" But then Merton was kissing at his jaw, just playful, and the smirk faded a little.

... He'd been teasing. About Gid thinking of a way to shut them up, and about them all getting in to bed together. Teasing. But now that it was on the table, and Merton was teasing about it to... well, it didn't seem that that horrible an idea, really.
