I wouldn't wanna hurt anyone, and I think that's why my parents agreed, because they wouldn't want that either.

[Sip]

So hey, I was gettin' these butterbeers, and it occurred to me that you said one of your brothers is gay. I totally didn't expect that! Is that really an acceptable thing for you guys? Cuz Muggles are really weird about it!

[He's pretty awkward about it himself.]

[rule_britannia]

Mm, William is.

[He laughs quietly, shaking his head.]

The wizarding world is just as difficult with things like that as muggles are. It comes down to personal preferences. I don't give a rat's arse in hell who William wants to sleep with so long as I can't hear it when he does.

[A wince, and he sticks his tongue out in mild disgust.]

Oh, gross man...I don't wanna think about all that now. But yeah...I guess it is a pretty heavy topic. Not your brother's habits, just...sexuality.

[Okay, now he's a little hesitant.]

But what's the difference, really? I think I like girls better, but you're just really attractive and all. So I'd pick you over a girl.

[rule_britannia]

I don't see why it needs to be made a big deal out of.

[Never mind that Arthur hadn't really been thinking of liking people in general until Alfred had pushed his way into his sphere of attention... and he was still straying just shy of unsure about all that.

He snorts and looks down at the table, picking at a knot in the wood.]

I'm not sure what that says about the girls in the school, Alfred...

[allamericanreject]

[Alfred slides his butterbeer from one hand to the other idly, looking just beyond Arthur's ear, and pointedly at that.]

...The girls are fine. I just like you better. Everyone has a preference, right? I suppose you're simply what I prefer?

[rule_britannia]

That-- Hmn.

[He still hasn't forgotten all those years you spent picking on him, Alfred. Arthur frowns down at the table.]

I suppose I should be flattered.

[allamericanreject]

[Forgotten or not, dwelling too long in the past won't help either of them reinforce their relationship now. That's how Alfred feels anyway.]

If you want. I am tryin' for somethin' here, and if you wanted, I could be sweeter on you.

[Smile~]

[rule_britannia]

You could be.

[A little frown.]

I suppose. If you wanted to.
