"Truth or dare?" Albus starts, sitting next to his very attractive best friend.
"Dare." Scorpius says.
Albus pauses, thinking for a moment. He then smirks and says "Take off one article of clothing."
Without saying a word, Scorpius takes off his sock. "You're such a pervert, Al." Scorpius teases. "Okay, my turn. Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Have you ever had a crush on a friend or a best friend?"
"Yes." Albus states quietly.
"Who?" Scorpius asks excitedly.
"My turn. Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Have you ever had a crush on your best friend?" Albus ask cryptically.
Scorpius gulps, closes his eyes, opens them, and mouths the word "yes."
Albus is quite shocked, but continues like nothing is going on.
"Truth or dare, Albus?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to ask out your crush at breakfast tomorrow morning." Scorpius states. Now, he's the one smirking.
"I will. My turn. Truth or dare, Scorp?"
"Truth."
"Do you have a crush on me, and if so, how long? Give me details. When did you figure it out?"
Scorpius tears up a little. He doesn't want to answer, but he has to.
In a shaky break, he mutters quietly " yes, ever since first year, I just knew. I knew you'd be the death of me." His voice cracks and stutters multiple times. He didn't know what would happen next, and he was scared.
"I think we should stop playing for tonight. Goodni-"
"Wait, can I ask you one more question, Al?"
"Of course."
"Do you like me the same way I like you?" Scorpius asks nervously.
In a shaky breath, Albus barely whispers the word "Yes." Before hopping straight into bed, muttering goodnight. He wasn't going to get much sleep though.
Both of them were awake, neither of them knew of the others presence. The clock on the wall read 3:46 AM, and neither of them were able to sleep. They didn't even care that they wouldn't have enough sleep for classes the next day.
The only thing they cared about anymore was each other, and sometimes that's all they needed.
Out of the blue, Scorpius begins to quietly talk to himself, assuming everyone is asleep.
Scorpius:He said he liked you Scorpius!!
Scorpius to Scorpius: he's lying
Scorpius: he was literally under a truth serum, he couldn't have lied.
Scorpius to Scorpius: He hates you now.
Suddenly, Albus felt a burst of energy. He got out of bed, went to where Scorpius' bed was, and muttered
"I could never hate you, Scorpius."
Scorpius jumps, for he did not see Albus come over due to his eyes being closed.
"What?" Scorpius says.
"Sorry if I scared you, Scorp. I heard you talking down to yourself and I just couldn't take it. I definitely don't hate you, Scorpius. In fact I lo-" He hesitantly pauses, and then continues. "I love you, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. I love you with every fiber in my body. I love you more than I love my entire family combined. I just love you. Your humor, your smartness, your personality, your face, everything with you is perfect, and I love you." Albus blurts.
Scorpius gets out of the bed, and hugs his friend. When he pulls out of the hug, his eyes meet Albus'. They lean in, and eventually lock lips.
Albus wakes up, alone, as Scorpius comes back from studying with Addison. It was all a dream. He doesn't love you.
I apologize for ruining your lives
