It wasn't very typical for Albus to feel so down in the dumps, but he'd gone to his first day of classes. And while they'd been great, he was starting to miss Kit. And it had only been four days. How was he going to feel in a week? Or a month? Or until their first vacation?

He sighed dramatically and fell down onto the couch, curling up in a blanket full of his despair. He soon fell asleep, crying to himself.

	Albus looked at Scorpius, who looked upset, then wrapped an arm around him and held him close. He breathed him in, pressing his face into the other boy's neck. Scorpius was his best friend and the only comfort he had at that moment. "I love you." He whispered, running his hand down Scorpius's back. "I'm so terrified right now. I'm a bad person."

Scorpius closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around Albus and pressing his face against his shoulder, feeling the nervous tension that had been filling him leave. He'd needed to hear Albus say he loved him again so badly. Everything was going to be okay. Of course Albus felt bad about Kit, but they could still be together.

He reached up to pet at Albus's hair, smiling only because he knew Albus couldn't see it. "I love you too," he said. "You're not a bad person. You're -- we were both drunk and emotions were high and it's... Kit won't like it, at first, obviously, but he'll be okay, I think. Eventually. Don't be terrified, Albus. It'll be okay."

	Grumbling, Albus pulled back from Scorpius. He looked down at him and kissed Scorpius's forehead, feeling himself start to tear up. He cleared his throat and stood up from the bed. "I have to tell him." Albus told him quietly. "I have to go to Kit and explain what happened." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Go... to him?" Scorpius looked up at Albus, frowning in confusion. "Do you really think you need to tell him in person?" he asked. "Don't you think -- I mean, I guess it's better to say that kind of thing in person." Maybe.

He reached out and touched Albus's hand. "Do you want -- no, I guess me coming would be a bad idea. Do you know what you're going to do? What you want to say to him?"

	Albus thought about what he wanted to say to Kit, then shook his head. "I don't know what I want to say to him. But, he deserves something. I don't want him to hate me. He's-" He looked at Scorpius. "I mean... You've never dated anyone. But... I've been with him for two years. I don't know how I slipped like this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Slipped. Scorpius stared at Albus, hand dropping back onto the bed. This meant that Albus didn't love him, didn't it? He'd been up and down way too many times for a morning when he was hungover and sore from having sex for the first time. Your fist time having sex wasn't supposed to be like that anyway, but Scorpius had been okay with it. He'd been fine when he thought everything was working out the way he wanted.

"I had a boyfriend in America," Scorpius said faintly. But he hadn't loved Nicholas and wouldn't have sex with him so they'd broken up after a month. "You should go to Kit. Tell him you won't slip again. Remind him that you love him. That -- Albus, you loving him is worth so much. He should know that."
