I know it's been a very long while once again since I've updated this fic.

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed this story or added it to their author/story alerts.

As usual this is unbeta'd & I only read through it once so I know there are bound to be several mistakes.

A supposedly fun thing I'll never do again.

The tall red haired man looked up from the observation deck of the dragon sanctuary and watched as brother rode Norberta. The dragon was quite graceful for such a large creature. The two men strapped to her enjoyed the steep dives and rolls she made across the sky. Percy thought back to his first dragon ride; it happened the first time he had brought Xander to the sanctuary. It was a thrill, his heart felt as if it would jump out of his chest and his stomach was left behind several times. I still not sure that it was something I would ever do again.

Percy sighed.

Things I would never do again. Mmmm. Never again would I have a threesome with Faith and the waiter guy. It was downright dangerous. Thank Merlin the slayer and the waiter had been so flexible. Percy hadn't thought himself that flexible. Goodness one of our positions had almost broken my back. Or at least it had felt that way. And while I have never had so many orgasms in my life the experience had left me feeling a little empty.

I enjoyed spending time with both Faith and Owen but I couldn't say that I loved either of them. The experience though had earned him a solid friendship with Faith. I wasn't sure how but it made the dark slayer much friendlier towards me. I supposed it made up for the restaurant incident during their blind date. After the acrobatics had been shared and Ian had left Percy had a long talk with Faith. She had decided that I just wasn't the type of guy who did casual encounters with any sort of frequency. While I had thoroughly enjoyed myself I really wanted a connection with the person I slept with. Faith had called me a romantic, kissed me, and left my bed.

I later found out that she had spoken to Xander and told him to stop trying to set me up with what he thought would be a sure thing. That wasn't what I was looking for or much less needed. She tried to convince me to ask out one of the watchers for dinner. Wesley. But I didn't. I couldn't get past the Wesley/Weasley thing.

Ginny has of course been pestering me ever since she found out I had played matchmaker with Charlie. She said she had never seen him look so happy with anyone as she has seen him with Xander. She then asked me why I didn't keep Xander for myself. He is a rather good looking man, solid, dependable, delectable arse.

He's just not my type. Not that I really know what my type is.

So far in the last month I have dated three women and four men. One witch, one wizard, two squibs, and the rest were Muggles. Amazingly all the dates were great. As far as first dates go. But I was not particularly attracted to one more than the other. And, I couldn't say that I feel like I'll be missing something if I never see any of them ever again.

Ginny said I was being too picky. I don't think I am. I look at Xander and Charlie and while their relationship is still very new there is something about them that screams out permanence. They are so comfortable with each other. They understand each other intuitively.

They come from completely different worlds. I don't mean Wizarding and Muggle.

Xander was an only child and had parents that hardly cared for him. He does have an incredibly tight group of friends. His friend Willow is beyond sister or friend. He calls her his hetero soul mate.

Charlie is a Weasley. Weasley is almost synonymous with family. The second oldest of seven children. And if it wasn't for quidditch and dragons Charlie would be as much if not more of a longer than I ever was.

But despite all their differences, as corny as it may seem, they complete each other. Just like Mum and Dad.

I told Ginny that was what I wanted.

And as I stand here watching Xander, who is pressed tightly to Charlie's back his arms wrapped around Charlie's waist while riding a dragon off into the sunset, I am so envious.
