I'm thinking about Dennis/Percy again
Just like-- I just--
Finding comfort in someone instead of finding other ways of handling your emotions
finding someone at your darkest point who just understands your pain and grief and somehow knows how to make you feel better
Wanting to help someone so much but with one wrong step you could cause so much more damage
Crying!! being held while crying!!!
trying to build up a new family
not to replace your old one but to find some sense of safety
some sense of feeling anything but the near emptiness that's been beating down on you for years
bringing out good parts of each other that no one knew were even there
Like they're sitting in Percy's living room for the third time this month. By now the tears have dried. The fear always in his heart has lessened and for once Dennis feels light and happy in a way he hasn't felt at all in the years since the war.
In the years, since he put his brother into the ground.
And he has to kiss him. He doesn't know what he'll do if he doesn't. He doesn't want that darkness to overtake him again.
i just aaaaAA i have feelings and thoughts that i am so bad at articulating but i want someone to understand my vision.
Also side note
but imagine Colin and Fred watching over people from the afterlife and just going What-
like listen
Fred charging into Colin's afterlife living space just like
"You're brother fucking kissed my brother."
and then they end up just gossiping about it for 20 minutes.
Fred was taken off guard because he's mostly obviously been watching George over anyone else. Meanwhile Colin's pretty much seen this coming for awhile since he typically is keeping an eye on Dennis.
Like the first time when Percy found him crying in a random hallway away from the feast he thought Dennis was just finally breaking but when Dennis took him up on the offer to chat more he immediately went click and he was like oh no- Dennis is gonna get hurt.
