Cepheus was kind of nervous. He and James had thrown together a somewhat engagement party in a matter of two days, which meant it was catered and thrown together. But, he thought they looked nice and the house was nice too. They'd even gotten a bigger table to fit everyone that was important to invite. He looked at James, standing there in his suit and bit his lip. "You look too good. You're going to distract me."

Albus could not believe that James was getting married. Let alone Cepheus. He'd not believed it at first. He'd thought that James was joking when he'd gotten the text. He glanced at Kit as they walked up to the building. "Can you believe my brother is getting married? I'm so confused."

Pansy slid her hand into Scorpius's hand as they walked together to the party. "How are you feeling?" She asked. It wasn't very great that Cepheus was getting married at the same time that Scorpius was going through a heart break.

"You're right." Albus nodded as he pulled back from Kit. "We shouldn't be planning our future when my brother is celebrating planning his own. It's rude of us to be so in love." He hesitated. "Should I talk to Scorpius?"

Pansy nodded. "I believe he'll say yes. I know that he likes to do his own thing, but Cepheus always listens to me. I don't know why. You can take a look at it at least."

Cepheus gave Scorpius a sad look. "Yes. Of course." He shook his head. "Scorpius, you're great. Don't let what happened change your opinion of yourself. What about that boy you texted me about?"

"If James is willing to settle down for your brother, I think that speaks volumes." Rex shook his head, looking back at Lavinia.

Kit glanced at Cepheus and Scorpius talking off by themselves. "Maybe," he said. "I think if you want to go talk to him, I should stay over here." He kissed Albus's cheek. "One of you needs to be the first one to break the silence."

"I'll ask him," James said, smiling at Pansy. "Or we could ask him together, if you can get him to agree to things. He likes fighting with me too much."

"I told him about Albus," Scorpius said. "Not everything, but some of it. It just... I don't know. How can I date someone when every time I think about Albus or see him I feel all this stuff. I miss him and I love him and I'm so sad. I'm so tired of being sad and I have no idea how to turn it off or how to get over this. Sleeping with someone just made everything worse. I'm kind of afraid of having sex now because every time I've done it, I've regretted it."

"Well, we'll see," Lavinia said, pushing open the door to Cepheus and James's flat. She just wished everyone would be more careful about everything. Being careful never hurt anyway. "They sprung for champagne, so they must be serious."

Albus looked back at Kit, then pressed their lips together. "I'll be back. I love you." He smiled at him and stepped away to where Scorpius and Cepheus were standing. "Hey."

Cepheus looked down at Albus, the smiled at his brother and stepped away to where his mother was talking to James. "What am I missing?"

Rex laughed and wrapped an arm around Lavinia's waist. "We should definitely go for the champagne. So their money doesn't go to waste."

Scorpius gave Cepheus a betrayed look as he left him and Albus alone together, then raised his wineglass to his lips and took a long drink from it. "Hey," he said, trying his best to not look at Albus like a kicked puppy.

James smiled at Cepheus, wrapping an arm around him. "Your mother was just telling me that she has a house in the country you like," he said. "Al and I were talking about kids and I was saying we're waiting a while, but we'd need a house to raise them in. Someplace bigger than this."

"I think so," Lavinia said, grinning at Rex and pulling him away from her dads so they could get the champagne. "And if my dads ask later, I've only had one glass. No matter what the truth is. The bad thing about Scorpius and Cepheus moving out is that they're getting all empty nest on me."

Albus bit at his bottom lip. "Looks like we're going to be family." Was that a good enough of an icebreaker? He wasn't sure how to act now that he was standing in front of Scorpius. "Who would have thought?"

Cepheus thought about the house his mother was talking about. "You mean the Manor?" He asked her, arching a brow. "The place Dad refused to live in because it made him feel too much like royalty?"

Pansy laughed at that. "Yes. The one he gave me when his father passed away. Your grandmother has been itching to move out of it."

Rex grinned at that and shrugged. "Well. You could always get your own place if you wanted." He told her. "You're going to be starting uni soon enough. I suppose you could live on campus."
