Kit woke up wrapped around Albus, feeling warm and happy and content, but also sort of dreading today because as nice as it had been, staying with Albus, today was the day he had to leave and Scorpius was coming back. It was the day things got decided. He and Albus had fallen right back into doing everything the way they had before they broke up and today had the potential to be very painful.

He kissed Albus's forehead, then slid out of bed and walked to the kitchen, starting up the coffee machine to make them both a cup. Even if Albus decided their romantic relationship was over, they could always be friends, right? It would suck. A lot. At least at first. But it was doable. Kit fixed two cups of coffee when the pot finished brewing, then walked back over to Albus's bed and sat down next to him, kissing the corner of his mouth. "Coffee, sleeping beauty."

	"I know. I'd be happy if my boyfriend didn't disappear and not text me." Albus sighed heavily, glancing at his phone again. "Even if he's working, he should have time to actually text me or send me a picture or something." Albus sat on a stool at the bar and felt himself start to cry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kit dropped what he was doing and moved around the bar to Albus, wrapping his arms around him and holding him close to his chest. "Albus. I'm sorry. I -- What can I do?"

Kit buried a hand in Albus's curly hair, kissing his forehead. "He doesn't deserve you," he said firmly, shaking his head. "Nobody who makes you feel this way deserves you. You're too special and amazing and just... too perfect to have to put up with this."

	Albus closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He felt so pathetic. So stupid for being this upset about Scorpius. He looked up at Kit and shook his head, taking a deep breath. "Let's just make breakfast." He pressed a kiss to Kit's forehead and did his best to smile at him. "I've got the bacon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kit gave Albus a worried look, petting at his hair for a moment more, and then nodding as he pulled back. "Yeah, of course," he said. He hesitated, then leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss to Albus's lips. "Food is good. I still make amazing pancakes."

He picked up the stuff he'd dropped, starting to measure everything out. As good as the past few days had been, maybe Albus didn't want to choose him. If he was this upset over Scorpius, maybe he was the one he wanted. Kit's stomach twisted into knots at the thought of it. Scorpius thought he could just blow in and out of Albus's life and pick him up whenever it was convenient. Kit meant it when he said Scorpius didn't deserve Albus. "Do you want chocolate chips in yours?"

Albus watched Kit get the things together for a moment and smiled, despite how he was feeling. He walked a little closer to him and wrapped his arms around Kit's waist, pressing him against the counter. He pressed a soft kiss to his lips.

"Of course." Albus replied, kissing down Kit's neck, then pulled away to grab the bacon from the fridge. "You know how I like them. I think we have some strawberry syrup here too."

Kit smiled when Albus pressed him against the counter and kissed him again. He wanted this to be his and Albus's flat. He wanted to live with the boy he loved and spend sleepy mornings making each other breakfast. "Strawberry syrup would be perfect on them. Whip cream?"

He started to whisk up the batter. "I hate living in a dorm. I miss being able to cook real food. You were smart, getting a place off campus. And it's so beautiful." Kit put the batter down, rustling chocolate chips out of the cupboard and then starting to cook.

	"There should be some whip cream. Scorpius likes it on strawberries." Albus told him as he pulled it out of the refrigerator. He put it on the counter beside him, then warmed up a skilled and put the bacon down on it, pressing it. "I don't think I could ever do that." Albus shook his head. "Live in a dorm. It's so tiny. You should live in a flat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'd have to be able to find a roommate I could stand," Kit pointed out. "I'm only planning on being there for one semester. It should be fine. I know more people out here. Maybe I'll be able to get a flat when I transfer. You can come over and we can cook breakfast and talk about how insanely talented we are."

Kit smiled, bumping Albus's hip with his own gently. "Practice our dance moves. You know I'll need your help with them. Dance is my weakness. You always look so good."

	"You could stay here. I know there's not an actual room divider, but we could work on that." Albus smiled at Kit, watching him with the pancakes. It was just... nice to have him around. That was all. He glanced at his watch. "We still have a couple of hours to go until you have to leave." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kit flipped the pancakes and wondered if there was a nice way to tell Albus he wasn't going to live with Albus and his boyfriend. Probably not. Kit wasn't that much of a masochist. "Maybe. It'd be great to be around you more." He smiled at Albus. "What do you want to do before I leave?" he asked. "A couple hours is plenty of time for lots of things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't even know. We could karaoke or dance together or something." Albus told him as he pulled the press off the bacon and flipped it over. "Whatever you want to do." He glanced at his phone when it beeped. "Scorpius just texted me. He's on his way home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kit looked down at Albus's phone. He wasn't sure he should be here when Scorpius got home, but he didn't want to leave either. "At least you know his phone works."

Kit pulled the pancakes out of the pan and put them on a plate. "I've missed hearing you sing." He chewed on his bottom lip for a moment, then put down his spatula and leaned over, kissing Albus passionately. This was something he'd missed even more.

	Albus made a surprised noise against Kit's lips. The sudden kiss made his heart speed up a little and he was left feeling breathless as he looked back at Kit. He kissed him again, pulling him close, his eyes closing as he ran his hand through Kit's hair. After a moment, he pulled back and looked at him, feeling so confused. What was he going to do?

Kit was breathless and ruffled now too and he didn't regret it at all. Even if this was hard and confusing for Albus. Kit had had time to think about Albus cheating and he'd time alone with Albus to remind himself of the foundation their relationship was built on and he was willing to fight. "I love you."

Scorpius had regretted going to Paris almost as soon as he'd gotten off the train. He'd spent most of the trip missing Albus, combing through shops by his hotel to try and find a suitable gift to bring back home. Albus had missed their skype dates. Scorpius assumed he was mad about him leaving. Scorpius was also starving, so he'd picked up pastries and macarons and then fought himself the whole train trip back to London so that he and Albus could break his fashion week fast together.

Scorpius opened the door to the flat to the smell of pancakes. "Al --" He stopped. The smell of pancakes and the sight of Kit in their flat. Which was fine, right? Kit and Albus could be friends. "Kit," Scorpius said. "I didn't know you were visiting."

Albus tried not to look guilty as he turned to look at Scorpius. He was still hurt by Scorpius leaving him and now he was even more upset about him leaving. Because it gave him alone time with Kit. Alone time to remember all the things he'd loved about the other boy.

"He came over yesterday." Albus told him with a shrug. "We watched some movies. He's making breakfast." He frowned. "So glad you remember how to talk to me."
