Albus had kind of been missing Scorpius again. And he knew that made him a bad boyfriend. A horrible boyfriend, if you will. But, he couldn't help it. Scorpius was just so... perfect. And he'd loved him for so long it seemed so stupid to not be with him.

But, there was Kit to worry about. Who was currently looking through some sheet music so they could find a song to sing for Valentines day. "Any luck in there?"

	Albus really didn't want to deal with it at that moment, but he knew there was no getting around it. He sighed softly and looked at Kit. "I don't even know." He answered honestly as he leaned back against the piano. "I'm still a kid. Why should I even be worrying about shite like this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Shite like this?" Kit repeated, giving Albus a hurt look. "You should be worrying about it because you started it. When you agreed to be my boyfriend or when you flirted back with Scorpius or when... whatever happened between you happened. You should be worrying about it because it's my heart and you're breaking it."

Kit reached up and wiped at his eyes, moving to sit on the piano bench. He didn't even know who he could talk to about this. Caspar had been so... Kit just wanted a hug and maybe some ice cream. Someone to tell him that everything would be okay. "I guess I should have thought about what I was doing. You're so... talented and smart and handsome and I'm this stupid gay Hufflepuff with a crush."

	Albus frowned at Kit when he started putting him down. He moved towards him and sat on the bench. "There is nothing wrong with you. You are not a stupid gay Hufflepuff. You're a smart and extremely talented Hufflepuff who could sing circles around me any day. I'm the one who isn't good enough for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kit looked up at Albus and frowned. "Where does that come from?" he demanded. "Yeah, okay, you did something with Scorpius and that makes you a shitty boyfriend, especially when you get uncomfortable and try and blow it off, but you're not the first or last boy who's ever done something like that." He ran a hand through his hair. "But it's... You're always acting like you think there's something wrong with you or you're not good enough and I don't get it, Albus. You have no idea how incredible you are, or how many people in this school fancy you. Is it because your brother is an attention-grabbing prick? Or what? You are gorgeous and the best Potions student in the school and you're athletic and musical. You are every gay boy's wet dream. You're certainly mine."

"I'm really good at potions, but I wouldn't go as far as you're going. Saying all those things about me." Albus shook his head, refusing to believe it. There was no way people thought of him like that. At all.

"I'm not incredible. I'm not gorgeous. I have uncontrollable hair, too much chest hair, zits and I'm kind of stupid and immature." Albus pointed out. "And I'm not that good at Quidditch."

Kit just felt so frustrated with everything. He wanted to break down and cry just as much as he wanted to hit Albus and yell at him, but he also wanted to help him see what Kit saw, how amazing Albus was. Maybe then he'd understand how much it hurt to think that this perfect thing was yours and then find out, all at once, that it wasn't as perfect or as yours as you'd thought.

"Being incredible and gorgeous doesn't mean being flawless, Albus," Kit said. "You're human and that's... Fuck, I don't know how to make you see this. You and what you're like and how fucking great it all is. I just..." He leaned forward and pressed his mouth against Albus's, kissing him for a long moment. He just wanted all these feelings to make sense.

Albus's eyes slipped closed when Kit kissed him like that. He reached up and touched the other boy's cheek, basking in the kiss and how good it felt before he pulled back and gave him a sad look, letting his hand drop.

"We can't." Albus shook his head. "I'm not going to hurt you again, Kit. And if I'm unsure about my feelings for you, I don't think I should be with you. Do you understand that?"

Kit understood it, but that didn't mean he had to like it. He reached up and rubbed at his eyes. "Can you... Can you at least promise me that you like me enough not to start dating Scorpius right away?" he asked, voice soft. He dropped his hands into his lap, but kept his eyes focused on the floor. "I don't think I could handle that. Not with how certain I am about how I feel for you."

	Albus looked at Kit for a moment, then reached over and slipped his hand into the other boys. "I won't date Scorpius right away." He promised him, then leaned in and kissed his forehead gently. "Do you still want to sing with me at Valentines?" He asked, knowing it was a stupid question. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It was a stupid question, especially since Kit had already started planning out things for him and Albus to do on Valentine's Day, and because part of him had hoped that Albus would say he wasn't sure how he felt about Scorpius either. Just... something to make this hurt a little less.

"No," he said. He pulled his hand away from Albus. "I wanted to sing with my boyfriend. I don't think we should sing duets anymore. Not for a while, anyway. It'll just make everything hurt more."

	"I'm sorry." Albus told him quietly and then sighed softly. He stood up from the piano bench and looked back at Kit briefly. "I'm just going to go back to my dorm and lay in bed for a bit." He looked at him for a moment, then sighed and walked out of the door, heading straight for Slytherin. He walked to where Scorpius's bed was, finding him there. "Kit knows."

	Scorpius looked up at Albus, confused for a moment, until it occurred to him that there was really only one important thing that Kit could know. He put his book down and sat up straighter. "He knows?" he repeated, searching Albus's face for some kind of sign about what this meant. "Are... you okay?" Scorpius asked, reaching out and touching Albus's hand.

	alboos 2012-09-01 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't know." Albus admitted as he stared down at Scorpius's hand against his own. He curled his fingers around the other boys, then slipped into his bed and closed his eyes. He curled up against him, pulling him back against his pillows. "I don't know what I'm supposed to think or feel right now. It's all Caspar's fault." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-09-01 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Caspar? Why? What did he do?" Scorpius asked, reaching up to pet at Albus's hair. He wanted to take care of him, even if part of him still felt really nervous about this. And, he had to admit, happy. Maybe now he and Albus could... be together. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	alboos 2012-09-01 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	"He told Kit that you said my name when you were in bed with him. And it made me feel really guilty." Albus sighed heavily. "And then Kit started asking all these questions. And I was able to dodge most of them. Until he asked me directly if you'd ever flirted with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-09-01 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Scorpius nodded, playing with Albus's hair as he thought about what he'd said. He sort of wished Albus had actually... wanted to tell Kit about them, but he knew Albus cared about the other boy. He understood not wanting to hurt him. "And then you told him everything?" he guessed. "Did you... break up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	alboos 2012-09-02 12:22 am UTC (link)
	"I didn't go into detail, but I think he understands." Albus sighed softly and ran a hand over his face. "We broke up, yeah. He looked so hurt and it just made... me hurt. I'm such a bastard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-09-02 12:26 am UTC (link)
	Scorpius kissed Albus's forehead. He knew Albus felt bad, but comforting him after he broke up with his boyfriend when all Scorpius really wanted to do was jump for joy was very odd. "I'm sorry you hurt. I don't think you're a bastard, Alby. I'm glad you came here instead of feeling like this by yourself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	alboos 2012-09-02 12:33 am UTC (link)
	Albus sighed again and moved closer to Scorpius. "I shouldn't even be here. I should be in my dorm punishing myself. Not being coddled by my best friend when I've done something horrible. I should be scolded." (Reply to this)(Parent)
