Unspoken Love

22: TRIGGER

5:00am

"Hey, wake up." came a soft voice to the right of Scorpius. The blonde only stirred slightly and let out a dreamy sigh before sinking deeper into his pillow, "Hey." the voice became more persistent.

"Hmm?" Scorpius groaned, barely moving his eyes, he was still in sleep mode. Only after his patiently determined boyfriend had whisper shouted: "Wake up!" directly into his ear had his eyes flown open.

"What? What's happening?" Scorpius demanded in a sort of slurred voice from being so freshly awakened. He looked around in bewilderment, only to feel two firm hands grab his face and pull him in for a passionate and sloppy kiss.

"Happy 5 month anniversary." Albus whispered as he pulled away slightly, kissing the tip of Scorpius's nose with lovestruck stars in his eyes. Scorpius blinked at him through the dimness before slumping back onto his pillows.

"Scorpius-" Albus exclaimed in shock before Scorpius reached up, grabbing his arm before pulling Albus down and in front of him.

"It's still dark outside, which means it's too early." Scorpius moaned sleepily, wrapping his arms around Albus's torso and burying his face into the spot where Albus's tattoo rested, "Go back to sleep and I'll be nice in the morning." he finished in a sweetly sarcastic whisper. 

"Fine." Albus grumbled, closing his eyes. For a couple moments there was only silence inside the curtains of Scorpius's four poster before Scorpius planted a gentle kiss on Albus's shoulder and mumbled, "Happy anniversary to you too."

8:30a.m.

"Really boys, you're still sleeping?" sounded Rose's voice outside of the curtains. Albus and Scorpius had just woken up a few minutes ago and were still wiping sleep from their eyes. Albus pulled open the curtains of Scorpius's four poster to see an empty dormitory and Rose standing there with two shirts for them to put on.

"Well somebody woke me up three hours ago-" Scorpius began, raising his eyebrows at Albus who interjected defensively.

"-since when is being in love a crime?"

"Oh honestly, you two act like an old married couple." Rose rolled her eyes, slumping down at the foot of Scorpius's bed.

"Old married couples sleep in." Scorpius pointed out.

"Are you really going to keep bringing it up? What happened to the early days!" Albus sighed dramatically, lifting a hand to the ceiling as if there was a vision playing out in front of them when everything was new and exciting in the beginning of their relationship. Scorpius stared at the invisible vision before casting Albus an amused look.

"You're funny." the blonde sniffed, grabbing Albus's chin and planting a kiss on his lips as he stood up to stretch, "We're still in the early days. I'm just as obsessed with you as I was in the beginning, yes?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at Albus who rolled his eyes and nodded.

"So how are you guys celebrating today." Rose asked, pulling one of their pillows onto her laps for her elbows to rest on.

"Well we do gifts and bigger things every three months," Albus said, looking to Scorpius who nodded in agreement, "So today we were just planning on hanging out with you," Albus shrugged.

"You know it's interesting that you say that," Rose began, "Because O.W.L.S. are not as far as they may seem and we have to start our studying schedule!" she said excitedly, pulling her book bag onto her lap which had been on the ground. Albus and Scorpius groaned.

"Studying? On a freeday?" Scorpius slumped back onto his bed.

"It's a freeday for studying," Rose rolled her eyes, "It's only for 5th and 6th years for a reason, boys." she said sternly.
