An alternative universe where Rose is in love with our precious bby Scorp and he loves her too.. or at least he thinks he does..?
"Scorpius!" Rose shouted from outside the Slytherin common room. I rolled my eyes. Couldn't this damned girl take a hint? Ok yes, Scorpius may love Rose and yes, Rose may love Scorpius, and yes, maybe Rose was my cousin and I shouldn't be so cold towards her but come on! She hated Scorpius! That was the whole reason she stopped talking to me in the first place! And besides, it wasn't fair. It wasn't fair when I had finally realized that it wasn't just friendship I felt towards Scorp, it was love. Since she was a Gryffindor and we were Slytherin's she couldn't come in without the password which I basically refused to tell her. I was sitting in the Slytherin common on the couch by the fire place reading a copy of fantastic beasts and where to find them to Scorpius before she had yelled his name. He had his head in my lap, I'm guessing he didn't hear her seeing as he made no effort to move.
"Albus?" I looked down at Scorpius and smiled slightly.
"Yeah Scorp?" He smiled at the nickname.
"Why'd you stop reading?" Huh, guess he hadn't heard her.
"Just got caught up in thought sorry." He gave me a soft smile. I stared at him for a second, wondering what it would feel like to have his lips on my own before looking back at the open book. I opened my mouth to start reading and then she shouted again.
"Scorpius?! Are you in there?" Scorpius lifted his head towards the door. Great he definitely heard her this time.
"Did that sound like Rose to you?" He asked fully sitting up now, already standing and walking towards the door.
"No!" I shouted after him, I heard him laugh and then he opened the door.
"I was calling you for like 5 minutes! Didn't you hear me?"
"No sorry, Albus and me were reading Fantastic beasts and wh-"
"Ew you nerds." Scorpius walked Rose over and sat on a different couch then me. Rose cuddled into Scorp and it just looked all wrong, Scorpius isn't someone who likes to hold others, he likes to be held. It's all wrong. "So Albus." I mentally groaned as Rose directed the conversation towards me. At least we were the only ones in the common room, every one else was outside enjoying the sunshine.
"Yes?" I asked looking up from my book with an eyebrow raised.
"Have you found a girlfriend yet?" I laughed. Yes I actually started laughing. Neither of them knew that I was incredibly gay. Let alone incredibly gay for Scorpius and couldn't even like someone else if I wanted to. "Why are you laughing?" I stopped laughing.
"Sorry." I went on. "It's just, it's funny that you ask that."
"Oh yeah? And why's that?"
"Oh I don't know, maybe because I'm quite literally hated by everyone in the school, I'm not attractive in any way possible, even if anyone did find me attractive they would never admit that they had a damned crush on harry potter's disappointing son, not to mention that no guy or girl even wants to be my friend. So let me ask you Rose, why the hell would anyone want to be dating me?" None of us talked for the longest time. I looked down at the ground and frowned when I realized I definitely shouldn't of said that, after all she was just trying to talk to me. I saw Scorpius stand out of the corner of my eye and expected him to walk away or something, but of course he didn't. Scorpius walked over to me and sat down next to me. He didn't say anything at first but then he gently touched my shoulder and said.
"Albus?" I flinched at the tone of his voice, he sounded extremely concerned and worried. It made tears jerk in my eyes as a couple tears started to fall. I sniffled as quietly as I could, not wanting Scorpius to know that I was crying. His hand tensed for a second when I sniffled and realized he already knew I was crying. He immediately hugged me from the side, around the arms and everything, just laying his head on one of his arms. I tensed for a second before bringing my hand up to my mouth quickly and letting out a sob. Rose made her way over to us and asked Scorpius if there was anything she could do and I think I heard him say just give me some time with him but I wasn't sure, I couldn't hear right, everything was spinning. Scorpius knew this, of course, that's why he was so worried. Once Rose was gone Scorpius leaned against the end of the couch and pulled me between his legs, my back laying against his chest, as he wrapped his arms around me from under my arms. Suddenly it was like something kicked in and I turned around and held onto Scorpius for dear life and buried my head in the left side of his neck. He sighed, probably expecting this as he rubbed my back and brushed his fingers through my hair, things he knew would calm me down.
"I- I'm sorry." I was mentally punching myself because god dammit everyone was having a good time until I broke down and ruined it. Scorpius sighed again.
"What am I gonna do with you?" Tears welled in my eyes again.
"I- I don't know.." He kissed the top of my head. That was normal right? Guy friends did that? Guy friends could do that right?
"Albus look at me." He said softly. I slowly moved my head so I could look at him, my breath hitched slightly when I noticed how close we were. He wiped my eyes and brushed some hair out of my face and smiled. "Much better." He paused. "Al.." He sighed looking away from my eyes. He looked like he knew what he wanted to say but he didn't know how to say it. "You know, not everyone hates you. I don't hate you." I chuckled slightly. I went to get up but Scorpius grabbed my waist. "Stay." I nodded and layed my head down on his chest.
"Well I know you don't hate me Scorp, your the only one."
"Rose doesn't hate you." I sighed. "But for some reason you hate her."
"I don't hate her I just-" I sighed. "Listen I'm real happy for you Scorp, I am, it's just hard for me to see you two together. I know she's my cousin but, I don't know, I guess I'm still mad at her for the way she treated you and i know its better now, I know that, but I just still can't get over how rude she was to you." I got up off Scorpius after the heartfelt confession and went to walk to our room.
"Why is it hard for you to see me and Rose together?" I stopped and froze. Shit, I hadn't realized I said that it bothered me. Oh fuck, fuck, fuck, what do I say?!
"Well you know just because she was rude to you and stuff." I started walking to our room, I knew Scorpius didn't believe me.
"Albus Potter, don't you lie to me. Albus! Stop walking away from me!" I got to our room with him trailing behind. I plopped myself face down onto my bed and groaned. "Albus, and don't lie to me, why does it really bother you? Do you want a girlfriend?" I sat up, slightly annoyed.
"I don't want a girlfriend." I stated.
"A boyfriend then?" My eyes widened at his he said it so casually. "There's nothing wrong with being gay Albus."
"No, no I know that. I'm just shocked you said it like it was regular everyday thing."
"How did you expect me to say it? Act like were talking about Voldemort? It is an everyday thing. I'm gay myself Al."
"You are? But I thought you were dating Rose?" Scorpius thought for a minute.
"Well.. I thought I liked her and we were dating but I realized I was in love with someone else. And yes Albus, I'm gay." I nodded, internally screaming because holy shit they aren't dating, could've fooled me. Did fool me actually.
"Cool, well um.. who are you in love with then?" Scorpius blushed.
"Funny story..." He laughed nervously. "It's you." My eyes widened. No fucking way, did Scorpius Malfoy just admit to being in love with me?
"I-I, holy shit-"
"Yeah.."
"Well I can't wait to to tell Rose." Scorpius looked at me confused.
"What do you mean? Tell Rose what?" I walked over to Scorpius' bed and lifted his head to look at me. His breath hitched and it made me smile.
"Well I just can't wait to tell her how cute my boyfriend is." I pressed my lips against his and closed my eyes, just enjoying the feeling. Scorpius began to move his lips against mine and on instinct I started kissing him back. Our lips didn't move perfectly in sync but I don't think either of us cared. I pulled away and looked at Scorpius. "Your all mine okay?"
"I'm all yours Albus." I smiled and layed down on his bed before connecting our lips again. You know what? Maybe my dad was right, maybe I will have some happy memories here at Hogwarts.
Sorry I feel like this was all over the place and pretty bad I just wanted something with Rose in it idk.. hope you enjoyed it anyways xx
