palm trees on the beach

are we party people? (albus and scorpius)

"malfoy! potter! breakfast is in 30 minutes." the voice of the slytherin prefect boomed through the door, to wake the slumbering wizards.

the two were tangled in each other's arms underneath scorpius' comforter. albus turned in place so he could face his boyfriend and cup his cheek. "mon amour." albus whispered as he moved hair out of scorpius' face. he felt the taller of the two mumble in his sleep, confusing albus on wether or not he's asleep.

"baby, we have to go eat breakfast. please wake up." albus rubbed his hand up and down scorpius' back in an attempt to wake him up. malfoy stretched in albus' arms and opened his eyes. "how about we sleep in another ten minutes and share the shower?"

albus blushed as he heard his boyfriend's morning voice. the raspiness was enough to make him practically melt into a puddle.

"not after last time, scorp. remember how embarrassing it was to have... rose come and find us wearing... nothing but this... comforter? lets just... both go now." albus was having trouble getting his words out, due to scorpius planting soft kisses scattered across albus' neck. it was clear scorpius had no intention of stopping anytime soon. "baby. get up or we sleep in separate beds tonight."

scorpius paused what he was doing and lightly shoved albus back to meet eye contact. "you dont mean it." he finished his statement with the signature malfoy smirk that albus knew from stories he heard from dad.

"try me." albus slowly began to get up from the bed but was pulled back by scorpius. "okay, okay. im sorry." he lightly kissed albus on the cheek. "lets get that shower, yeah?" he stood and walked backwards, with finger guns going off, into their shared bathroom. albus chuckled and followed him in.

at breakfast, the two were just near the end, where the few people they knew in slytherin between the two of them ate. they sat next to one another and ate while albus had struck a conversation with a slytherin girl asking about herbology notes.

scorpius expected some jealous feeling at the pit of his stomach, but smiled to himself when he didn't feel that at all. he simply slid his hand onto albus' thigh that was met with his lover's hand only moments later. scorpius smiled as he continued his breakfast with his other hand, thinking about what he had to remember for his first class. his thoughts were interrupted by james potter.

"princes of snakes, live from the serpent's nest. scorpius, albus, how are we feeling this fine morning?" james pretended to hold up a fake news microphone to scorpius to respond. "us 'snakes' are actually celebrating their recent qudditich win after completely wiping the gryffindors in a blaze of glory-" he was cut short as james dropped his hand out of playful offense. albus, done playing catch up in his notes real quick, laughed at his boyfriend's response and kissed his hand after interlocking it with his own.

"hey! you didn't wipe us!" james started, "but whatever. so mcgonagall is letting the upperclassman throw parties in the room of requirement this year. you two want in?" he whispered the last half as he didn't want a lot of people he didn't know to hear.

"you mean like the our dads used to throw?" albus lit up at the idea of a party. scorpius noticed the sudden change in behavior and wanted to see albus like this more. "we're in." scorpius interjected as he threw his arm around albus.

"great! friday night, password is 'pumpkin juice', and its a costume party. go crazy, ya know? and not a lot of fourth-years were invited so don't go inviting half of slytherin, mkay?" james ruffled his little brother's hair before he took off to head to class.

"since when are you so amped about parties?" scorpius asked this as the two headed to their first class.

albus laughed before he answered, "if its gonna be anything like dad said, i think we're gonna enjoy it. why so curious?" he grabbed the other's hand and let it swing between the two of them. "i dunno, you just seemed to really like the idea and of course i want us to have fun, but are we party people?"

by now, they were just a few steps away from the classroom. albus pulled them to the side and continued the conversation. "how about this? we can go, make an appearance, drink some firewhiskey. if its a bust, we can sneak to the astronomy tower and have our own party." he hugged scorpius, hiding his face in the crook of the other's neck. they swayed a little before scorpius was the first to break.

"sounds like a plan." scorpius pulled his boyfriend into a kiss, signaling his agreement with the plan. "great, but now we have think of costumes."

albus joined their hands again as they walked into the classroom and sat them in the back. "im thinking... wiccan and hulking?"

scorpius smiled at the thought of them in a couple costume. "wiccan and hulking it is, then."
