Scorpius left Rex's flat feeling pretty stable. He got into a cab and then made the mistake of checking his phone, of seeing all the texts from Albus and watching the video of him singing, and had fallen apart again and terrified the cab driver. Scorpius stopped at his dads' place to change clothes and then got another ride to the coffee shop where they were supposed to meet, careful to avoid his parents or Martin or his sisters, who would probably have seen the article about him and Rex.

He still felt shakey and he wasn't at all sure what was going to come of him and Albus meeting, now that Albus knew everything. He could text that he loved Scorpius all he wanted, but to Scorpius it was hard to believe he didn't mean as a friend. He needed that wall of protection up or hope would creep in and destroy him. He found Albus sitting with two coffees and slid into the seat across from him, wrapping his arms around himself and sort of wishing he had Cepheus there for added protection. "Hey."

"We're both idiots," Scorpius said, looking up at Albus. "And James is worth that either of us if he really thinks you're the one who's not good enough. You are so perfect, Albus. You're talented and smart and handsome and all I've ever wanted is for you to be happy, even if you weren't happy with me."

He squeezed his hands together in his lap. "I know I... I probably messed everything up. I slept with someone else and I -- I should have waited. I just hurt so bad, thinking it didn't matter to you. That I was just a mistake. But I love you, Albus. I want to love you. If you'll let me."

	Albus looked back at Scorpius. Was he giving him another chance? A chance to actually be his boyfriend. A small smile broke out from behind the tears and his chest tightened in hope that Scorpius really wanted that. He looked at him for a moment, then leaned over the table and brought their lips together. He touched his cheek, eyes slipping shut. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scorpius made a surprised, eager sound against Albus's mouth, leaning in and deepening the kiss. His hand cupped the back of Albus's neck and he smiled against the other boy's lips, feeling like an incredible weight had been lifted from his chest.

"I love you," he whispered, pulling back just a little. He kissed the bruise on Albus's cheek, fingers playing with the hair on the nape of his neck. "I promise I won't be stupid this time. Albus Potter, will you be my boyfriend?"

	Albus made a soft sound against Scorpius's lips, then let out a breath he'd been holding when Scorpius said he loved him. He smiled and laughed, kissing Scorpius again, more deeply this time. "Yes." He said breathlessly. "Yes. I'll be your boyfriend. And I'll never be this stupid again." He looked at him. "Will you come home now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2013-01-03 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Scorpius agreed, smiling and brushing his nose against Albus's. "I'll come home. We can work on getting moved in for real. It'll be good. Everything will be okay now." He brushed their lips together again. "Mine," he whispered. "Finally." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Albus smiled against Scorpius's lips. "All yours." He whispered back, then sat back down in his chair. He looked at his coffee, but stood and motioned for Scorpius to follow him. "Come on. I want to get you home." Albus told him and then took Scorpius's hand. "Was I..." He bit his lip. "Your first time. Was it bad?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scorpius stood, smiling when Albus took his hand. For once, he wouldn't mind if people took a photo of him. Even if Albus still had a bruise on his face and both of them looked like they'd been crying, he felt happy. Albus was here and everything was good.

"The bad part of it was mostly after," Scorpius told Albus, glancing at him. "When we woke up and you left. During nothing really mattered because it was with you and I love you. It wasn't how I thought it would be, and it kind of hurt, but that was okay because you told me you loved me too. Nothing could be bad."

	"I didn't know it was your first time or I would have been a lot different." Albus told him quietly. "Xavier told me that you obviously weren't that happy with me, since you got over me so quickly and went home with a porn star." He glanced at Scorpius. "I feel like shite now. Not knowing. I thought that you had a boyfriend while you were abroad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Xavier's an idiot who doesn't deserve to have Cepheus as his boyfriend," Scorpius said, shaking his head. "I only went home with him because I was so sad. I didn't know... what he did. Not until this morning. He was just... nice to me."

He chewed on his bottom lip for a moment. "I -- I did have a boyfriend, but we never..." Scorpius shrugged. "I wasn't in love with him. I didn't want to have sex with someone I was only with because I was trying to get over someone else. I wanted it to mean something. It's why we broke up. Because I wouldn't put out."

"I'm sorry that it wasn't good for you. But, it did mean something to me. If that helps." Albus kissed Scorpius softly, touching his cheek. "I've always loved you. Probably since I was seven years old. I was so afraid of being gay then."

He kissed him again, not caring if anyone saw them together. He brushed his fingers through Scorpius's hair. "I love you. And no one will take you away from me."

Scorpius smiled, leaning into Albus's touch and kissing him back, a hand resting on Albus's waist. "We have all the time in the world now to do it again and again until it's perfect," he pointed out.

He nipped at Albus's bottom lip. "I'm not going anywhere. I promise." Scorpius did have a date to break though. "You and I are meant to be together. I'm really glad you got over your fear of being gay."

	Albus unlocked their flat and pulled the door back, glancing around. It was kind of a mess and he'd forgotten that. He laughed and glanced at Scorpius. "Sorry it's such a mess." He told him quietly, then kissed Scorpius softly. "I didn't really feel like cleaning for a couple of days." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scorpius looked around the flat and laughed. "It's fine," he said, shaking his head and kissing Albus back. "I wouldn't have cleaned either, if I hadn't been hiding from you."

He wrapped his arms around Albus's waist and pulled him close, resting his forehead against the other boy's. Scorpius smiled to himself. "Eventually we'll have to clean and worry about other things. For now, let's just be happy."

	"I am happy." Albus promised him as he slid the door shut and pressed him against it. He kissed him deeply, biting at his bottom lip before he pulled back and smiled. "I should hold you a little closer, but I'm kind of hungry." Albus admitted, kissing down Scorpius's neck. "Should we order in?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Scorpius made a soft sound when Albus kissed his neck, eyes drifting shut for a moment. "We -- we can," he agreed. "I have to stick to my diet. I ate a whole pint of ice cream after you left." He smiled at Albus. "I've only had salad and grilled chicken today. It should be okay. We can eat and be close. I want to be close to you for everything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Albus sighed softly. "I don't like the way you have to starve yourself to do this fashion thing. You're already thin and cut. I don't know what else they want from you." He grabbed the menus to some places around town. "What can you eat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
