Kit had spent a fairly confusing day listening to Ana alternate between talking about what a great, rising star she was and how amazing and famous she and Caspar were going to be -- standard stuff -- and wondering if he thought that Brutus Macnair might be able to sing. Kit didn't know what had happened between the last time Brutus Macnair dumped pumpkin juice over Ana's head and threw him in the rubbish bins, but apparently something had changed for her. Maybe she'd watched Grease too many times and decided he was the perfect Danny.

Kit walked into the coffee shop where he was supposed to meet Albus and smiled when he saw the other boy waiting with two cups of coffee. "Hello, Handsome," he said, putting his bag down and taking a seat. "You are not going to believe who Ana's decided she has a crush on. It's even weirder than the month when she wanted your babies."

"Lucky me," Kit said, leaning in and kissing Albus again, reaching up and touching his cheek before he pulled away. "Honestly, I don't know what Ana's capable of. Maybe she'll get him a novelty t-shirt instead."

He shrugged. "Brutus isn't really in my circle of friends, so I have no idea. I'd think his type would be more... or maybe not more something, just less... Ana."

	"I'm not really sure how anyone could fancy Ana more than she fancies herself." Albus pointed out and looked back at Kit. He smiled at him and shook his head. "I was pretty much terrified the entire time she fancied me. I was kind of afraid to reject her because she's so scary." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, Brutus is tough. Maybe he's the right man for her," Kit said, shrugging. "A scary man for a scary girl. I'm going to get your brownie for you and a coffee for me." He stole another kiss from Albus, then got to his feet.

Scorpius had spent the past few days alternating between forcing himself not to tell Cepheus who their real father was while he scanned portraits in the manor for any sign of Lucius, and spending time with Caspar. He was a good boyfriend, but he wasn't being a very good friend. He was about to answer Albus's text about hanging out with he spotted him through the window of the coffee shop. He smiled to himself and pushed the door open, walking over to Albus's table. "Hey. I was just going to text you."

Albus looked up at Scorpius, a little surprised to see him there. He sipped his coffee and then gave him a small smile. "Hey. Haven't seen you in a while." He replied and then motioned for Scorpius to sit down. "How have you been?"

Marc Flint didn't exactly like to work at the coffee house, but his parents had insisted he get a job to pay for the broom he so desperately wanted. He hated serving people's coffee and for people to refer to him as a barista. Because he wasn't a barista. He was a Quidditch player. He looked at the boy whom he vaguely knew from school and frowned. "Can I help you?"

"I've been..." Scorpius paused as he took a seat. It had been a very mixed up few days, emotionally. "I've been okay," he said. "There's been some weird family stuff going on, but I think my mum and I are actually on the same page for once. Sorry I disappeared for a while. I didn't even see you at the Christmas party. How have you been?"

Kit was not use to baristas frowning at him when they took his order. He blinked at the other boy for a moment, who he thought he recognized from school, and then glanced at the pastry case. "Uh -- yeah," he said. "Can I get a brownie and a medium mocha with a shot of caramel syrup? Do you go to Hogwarts?"

"Kit and I didn't stay very long at the Christmas party." Albus admitted as he looked back at Kit. "We ended up leaving early because no one really talked to us and I couldn't find Cepheus." He shrugged. "I've been okay. What's going on with your family?"

"Sure." Marc began to get the cup ready and looked at the boy over the counter. "Yes. I'm a sixth year Slytherin and I'm on the Quidditch team."

Scorpius followed Albus's gaze to Kit ordering a coffee at the counter. He still wasn't sure how he felt about that and he didn't know why. Maybe he was just being a Malfoy, getting weird about having to share his friends even when it was Albus's right to choose who he spent his time with and Scorpius had a boyfriend too, even if it was a secret. "That's too bad. I would have liked to see you there. I still have your Christmas present." Scorpius turned his attention back to Albus. "I'm not sure I'm allowed to talk about it, honestly." He knew he wasn't. "There was just... some surprising stuff that I learned about, and I've spent the last few days talking about it again and again with all four parents."

Slytherin and Quidditch player explained why Kit didn't know him, although the fact that he was one the Slytherin Quidditch team probably meant that he'd thrown some kind of food at Kit at some point in the past. He pulled out the sickles he needed to pay for his drink and the brownie. "My boyfriend's on the Gryffindor Quidditch team."

	"Have we come to that point?" Albus asked, his voice soft as he looked back at Scorpius. "We can't even tell each other our secrets anymore?? I guess we really have fallen in the deep end." "Figures." Marc finished making the coffee and then held it out to the boy. He held out his hand for the money. "You look like a fag." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's not really my secret to tell," Scorpius said, giving Albus a hurt look. He was keeping his relationship with Caspar a secret from Albus too, though. Scorpius trusted Albus. He weighed his options, trying to decide which was... Albus was probably less likely to tell anyone the darker one. The secret boyfriend thing didn't feel nearly as weighty as who Scorpius's real father was, and being Lucius Malfoy's son was the one that was dragging him down anyway. "It's about my father." Scorpius lowered his voice. "And... the fact that Cepheus and I are actually... Lucius Malfoy is our father. Not our dad. But don't say anything to Cepheus. He doesn't know and they don't want him to know."

Kit stared at the other boy for a long moment, contemplating walking away with his money and leaving the coffee and brownie behind. He took his drink and set the money on the counter instead of in Marc's hand. "Funny. You didn't look like a bigot, but obviously appearances can be deceiving sometimes."

Albus looked back at Scorpius for a moment. That was a big secret. He reached across the table and took the other boy's hand into his own. "Are you okay?" He asked, rubbing his thumb over the back of Scorpius's hand.

"I'm not a bigot. I didn't say you were disgusting, did I?" Marc arched a brow at the other boy. "Are you not a fag? You just told me you have a boyfriend."

"I..." Scorpius probably should have picked Caspar to tell. But they'd just started dating and he'd been friends with Albus for years, so maybe not. "I don't know, honestly. I told Mum and Dad I was. It explains why my mother dislikes me so much, at least. She didn't... want to have his kids." Scorpius frowned to himself, squeezing Albus's hand. "And I look like him. A lot like him. Everyone who's seen me next to a picture of him has said so."

"I'm gay. That doesn't make me a fag. That doesn't mean other people can call me a fag," Kit told the boy, frowing at him. "Or say I look like one. Can I get my brownie so I can leave?"

	"I saw him at Hogwarts once. But, I just figured it was a grandkid resemblance." Albus admitted and then sighed softly. "I'm sorry. I guess I've been a shit friend for being with Kit. I should have been there for you." Marc looked back at Kit for a moment, then grabbed the brownie and wrapped it up. He held it out to him. "Have a nice day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scorpius shook his head. "No, you haven't been. I'm the one who wasn't texting back." And he'd been spending a lot of time with his boyfriend too. "I wasn't supposed to say anything about it anyway. So things are going well with you and Kit?'

Kit took the brownie from Marc and walked back over to the table where Albus was sitting... holding Scorpius Malfoy's hand. He hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat next to Albus. "Hello," he said to Scorpius, trying not to stare at their hands like a jealous git. Albus was a good guy. He put his drink down, then set the brownie in front of Albus. "One brownie, as ordered. What are we talking about?"

	Albus nodded, but then Kit was there. He smiled at him and took the brownie, letting go of Scorpius's hand. "Thank you. I've wanted one since I got here, but I was too lazy to buy it." He glanced at Scorpius. "Scorpius was asking how you and I are. I was going to tell him we're great." (Reply to this)(Parent)
