Part two of this post cause I’m alive, Gonna give a TW for this one
They all spent two days searching all over London for Barty
Regulus even went to Bartys parents
Pandora and Dorcas drove around for hours trying to find him
Evan went everywhere, all his favourite spots, all his favourite shops, the houses of his favourite people.
It was late when Evan hears the door open
It was late when Evan crawled out of bed and walking into his lounge room
“Reg?” Evan mumbles, because regulus tended to show up at his place late when he came back from looking for Barty. Evan was half awake and could barley focus
“No…” Evan’s eyes finally opened properly. Standing in the middle of the room was Barty
“Where were you?” Evan’s tone was angry but his body was too tired to feel it
Evan was slowly waling up and he was truly become more and more angry as the conversation went on.
“Evan that’s really not impor-“
“Barty.” Evan said his tone stern and slowly becoming louder “tell me right fuckign now”
Barty hesitated. Evan was fully awake now and he could see that Barty looked a mess. He was wearing a jumper that he had never seen before and there were bags under his eyes and big as a suitcase
“Barty I’m serious, you’ve been gone for five fucking days! And you expect me to not want to know where you were!” Evan’s finally fell out of his tired state and anger filled his entire body
Evan hesitated for a second, “the dealer?”
“Barty…” Evan sighed, “Is that… all you did for five days?”
Barty nodded slowly, water filled his eyes. Evan walked towards Barty and wrapped his arms around him. They stood there hugging for a long time. Barty quietly sobbed into Evan’s shoulder.
It truly was a long time that they stood there.
Because regulus came back
They both heard the front door open and regulus’s footsteps slowly walked into the lounge room.
“What do you mean crap regulus” reg said rubbing his eyes. He finally looked up at Evan and snapped his head quickly to Barty
Regulus was more mad that Evan was
“What the fuck is wrong with you Barty!” Regulus yelled
“Reg…” Evan started but regulus quickly cut him off
“Five fucking days I’ve been staying up alll night looking for you and you just wanna show up and pretend like everything fine all do a sudden”
“Regulus maybe you should just listen for a second” Evan said
“Why aren’t you mad!” Reg snapped at Evan
“I was, then I wasn’t when I actually listened!”
“Well I’m gonna be mad either way!”
“To be fair he probably will be” Barty chuckled
Barty, Evan and regulus talked. For a long time. And then regulus went home to sleep, and Evan and Barty talked for even longer.
“I’m sorry I looked through your mail…” Evan said finally. Barty sighed
“This would have happened anyway… I was just, scared, and maybe I just needed soemthing to calm me down”
“Well your not doing that again” Evan said, grabbing Barry’s hands and holding them tight
“Ev…” Barty said looking Evan deep in his eyes
“I’ve never told you this before but… I think I’m in love with you”
Evan paused. They’d never talked about what they were. Hookup buddies? A long situationship? Friends with lots more benefits?
“Evan…” Barty said after the long silence
Evan stayed silent again. Maybe they were whatever Bowie and mick jagger had going on? Or maybe they were boyfriends”
“Evan have I made this awkward”
“Um… guess weve never talks about it but… I think it was gonna happen eventually”
“Yeah I love you too I was just lik wondering because we’ve never talks about ti and it’s kinda just like bee sprung into me me”
“You Love me too?” Barty smiled, Eva finally relised what he said
“Oh… I guess I do” Evan smiled, they both chuckled softly and put their foreheads together
Overtime they both fell asleep on the couch, intertwined with each other.
Maybe they’ve finally figured out what they were
Just in the worst way possible
