Cepheus had asked him to do this and Xavier still felt guilty for sleeping with Caspar so he was going to do it. Even though it was going to suck. He would have much rather gone shopping with Scorpius and Cepheus and then gotten wasted and danced with them. But no. He got to make Albus feel even worse than he already did. Xavier knew what cheating on someone you loved felt like.

He walked into Albus and Scorpius's flat and cleared his throat, looking down at Albus. "Come on," he said. "We're going to go out and get drunk. There are some things Cepheus thinks you need to hear and you'll want to get drunk after you hear them."

"I don't know. Everyone thinks you're both pretty stupid," Xavier told Albus. "You for not noticing that Scorpius follows you around like a puppy and would probably do anything he thought would make you happy, and Scorpius for never saying anything to you."

He reached up to sort Albus's hair out a little after he messed it up. "Everyone thinks Scorpius was really stupid for helping you get Kit. You're just... Marius." It was an example Albus would get. "Kit is your Cosette. Scorpius is Eponine. Except he's not going to die, hopefully."

That reference was something Albus actually got. He frowned for a moment and then let out a sigh. "I won't let him die. But, Marius ends up with Cosette. Regardless of it all. Regardless of knowing how Eponine feels."

He looked up at Xavier. "What about you?" He asked him quietly, thinking of a reference that Xavier may have gotten. "I guess you've got to look at it like this. Your friend Caspar, whom we've all always heard you talk about. How great he is and all that. Is he just a security blanket you don't want to get rid of? Or is he the teddy bear you've had since you were a kid that you love with all your heart?"

Albus was not good at references.

"Does that mean you made your decision?" Xavier asked. "Because if you choose Kit then you've got to tell Scorpius you know everything and you can't be with him. You have to let him go, and that might mean losing him. At least until he gets over you."

He shifted uncomfortably when Albus brought up Caspar. "I don't know," Xavier admitted. "I'm going to introduce them. Caspar and Cepheus. Maybe they'll end up getting along. Cepheus and I are moving in together. We're starting a business together. Things are complicated now."

	Albus shook his head. "Things aren't that complicated for you. If you don't love Cepheus properly, you should let him go. Because he's been living the last two years knowing that he's just what you settled for. He talks about it all the time." He sighed softly, but then his phone was beeping. He frowned. "Scorpius has been seen with some bloke." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Cepheus talks like that?" Xavier frowned. That wasn't right at all. He loved Cepheus too much to have him going around thinking he was second best. "That's not right. I'll talk to him."

He glanced at Albus's phone. "Is there a photo?" Xavier asked. "Cepheus took him out to get him drunk. Knowing Cepheus, he probably pushed him at the first person Cepheus approved of."

	Albus scrolled down a bit and read the article as he went. He stopped when he got to a picture of Scorpius and the other boy getting into a cab. And then a picture of Cepheus and his brother. He turned his phone away from Xavier. "You don't need to see that part." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Xavier frowned and grabbed the phone from Albus. "Yes, I do," he said, scowling at the photo of Cepheus and James kissing. "I may have left out the part where Cepheus screwed your brother in the back of his car so we both ended up forgiving each other for cheating."

He was going to have a very stern conversation with him whenever he got home. "Cepheus sure sleeps with James a lot for someone who claims to hate him." Xavier scrolled up to look at Scorpius and his boy. "And Scorpius is going home with a porn star. Tonight's not fucked at all." Xavier handed Albus his phone back.

	"Wait a second." Albus frowned at Xavier. They could talk about James and Cepheus after they addressed the other thing that Xavier had said. He shook his head. "What do you mean, he's going home with a porn star?" He asked, feeling his heart plummet to his stomach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I mean those stupid blogs pick up on everything else. You think they'd realize that the boy Scorpius is going home with is Rex Strange. You're gay, Albus. You don't watch porn?" Xavier was not in the mood to be nice about anything anymore.

He pulled his own phone out, pulling open Google and doing a quick image search. He held the results out to Albus. "Meet Scorpius's new friend."

	"No. I don't watch porn." Albus told him with a careless shrug. "I've had a boyfriend. I didn't need to watch porn because he was always around to satisfy me. Until now." Albus took the phone from Xavier and frowned. "Fuck." He shook his head and pushed the phone back at him. "I don't even want to look at it. How stupid is Scorpius?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, he slept with you, so pretty stupid," Xavier said, putting his phone back in his pocket. "He's Scorpius. It's not like he knows he's about to sleep with a porn star. He's the wide-eyed innocent who gets you together with your boyfriend and then spends two years alone thinking you might choose him in the end."

He ran a hand through his hair and then took his phone out again, texting Cepheus to let him know he saw him with James. "I hope you at least made Scorpius's first time good, because if Rex's work is anything to go by, Scorpius is about to get his world rocked."

Albus felt like killing himself and Xavier was not helping. He frowned at Xavier for a moment and then shook his head, feeling hurt by his words. But, he could get him back.

"Perhaps you're not keeping Cepheus as happy in the sheets as you should." Albus informed him. "Don't worry. He's been wanking it hard to your boyfriend for two years. And if what his other lovers say about him, he's fantastic at it."

Xavier punched Albus. He was a Macnair. There wasn't much he could do about his gut reactions to things like that. "Fuck off," he spat, getting to his feet. He pulled out his phone and texted Caspar instead, asking if he was busy.

"You better be sure you're happy with Cosette, because Eponine is moving on already." He frowned down at Albus. "Maybe that tells us everything we need to know about your skills in bed. Four years of loving you and all it takes is one night to get over it."

	Albus felt like he'd been hit by a bus. He grabbed his face and fell back onto the couch. But, Xavier's words hurt a lot more than his punch. He sulked on the couch, starting to cry. "I didn't know." He said softly, blood pouring from his nose. "I didn't know that he loved me. I loved him for so long and he said nothing to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Xavier was too pissed off with the world to care much about the tragedy that was Albus's life right now. He grabbed some napkins from the table and tossed them to the other boy. "Your nose will keep bleeding if you don't stop it," he said.

He crossed his arms over his chest, turning around to look down at Albus again. He looked so pathetic. Xavier refused to let himself turn into that. "Scorpius thinks he's being noble by not saying anything," Xavier told him. "Or maybe he didn't want to ruin your friendship, but you've slept together now so there isn't much that can be done about it."

	Albus picked up his phone, not bothering with the tissues. He didn't have time for that. He found Scorpius and texted him a short message, knowing he probably wouldn't check for a while. I love you. "You should probably fuck off now." He looked up at him and shook his head. "Maybe show up at my brother's." (Reply to this)(Parent)
