There were a hundred good reasons why Percy would stay at Teddy's flat … yes, even after Teddy had broken it off with Victoire and was no longer part of the family. A hundred and one reasons.
Teddy always had at least a hundred paper-clips in a little cardboard box kept in his desk. He'd taken after his father, Teddy had, but only in the best ways. Kind amber eyes and warm hands and –
Percy cleared his throat and reached into Teddy's desk. Before his fingers brushed against the cardboard box, he felt something else – a clip, cold and metal and perfect. Percy pulled it out, untangling it from a thin silver chain, and clipped his parchments together.
It was like the black clips that Muggles used for particularly thick packets of paper. Percy was fond of them – they were even better than paperclips, in fact.
One hundred and two reasons for staying with Teddy – he had the best paper clamps. Percy adjusted the clip, centering it on the top parchment until it was in line with the title. He'd Floo back to the office and then –
He turned and saw Teddy standing in the doorway, hair as red as flame. "Hey there," Percy said, trying to slide past him.
Teddy blocked his way, one hand closing around Percy's upper arm. "You told me you broke up with Audrey. That's why – why I let you stay here."
"I did," Percy said, looking up at Teddy. "You know that."
"How could you go back to her with–"
Percy pulled away from Teddy and brandished the sheaf of parchments at him. "There's no call to get overworked over a paperclip," he said. "I didn't think that you'd mind, but – well. I can see that I've overstayed my welcome here."
Percy edged past Teddy, holding himself stiffly. He wouldn't touch Teddy – he wouldn't have a hundred and third reason to stay. He wouldn't.
"Paperclip?" Teddy's laugh pealed out, and his hair flashed blue as he reached out, catching Percy's hand. "You've got to be joking."
"I would never joke about paperclips."
Percy's breath caught in his throat as Teddy leaned closer, tracing the silver clip. His fingers closed around Percy's, and his lips brushed Percy's cheek – once, twice, three times.
Teddy pulled him closer. One hundred and six reasons to stay… one hundred and seven…
He froze when Teddy plucked off the clip and brushed it to Percy's lips. "This isn't a paperclip," Teddy said, his breath warm on Percy's ear. "This is one of my nipple clamps."
"You're out of paperclips, then," Percy said, trying to keep his voice steady. Teddy with silver clamps on his pink nipples – no, Percy wouldn't think it. He wouldn't. "The box on your desk was empty."
"We'll get some more," Teddy promised, steering Percy towards the bedroom. "Afterwards."
"I – you – you can't–"
"I can and do," Teddy said, bending down to kiss Percy.
One hundred and eight reasons, one hundred twenty … two hundred…
