Skinny Love [SCORBUS] ; hp next generation

Chapter Nine

Scorpius's pov

The year was over, and Scorpius had yet to tell Albus how he felt.

Albus and Scorpius got off of the train, and started heading over to where their parents were standing, Draco next to Harry and Ginny. Hermione and Ron weren't too far off from them either.

Scorpius looked over to his right, when he heard his name being called, saw Rose look pointedly at him and then the boy next to him, as if asking if he told Albus yet. Scorpius shook his head, and made pleading eyes at Rose, silently begging her not to do it. Rose shrugged, and mouthed, 'we made a deal,' and appeared to laugh to herself as she set over in their direction, and if Scorpius was guessing correctly, she was about to tell Albus. Scorpius hoped he could pull Albus away before the boy noticed. That wasn't the case.

"Why's Rose coming over here? Why does she have that look on her face?" Albus questioned, seemingly concerned. He looked over at Scorpius, and most likely noticed how his complexion was paler than usual. "Are you alright?"

Scorpius nodded and let out a shaky breath. It was now or never, either tell Albus, or let Rose tell him. As Rose neared, Scorpius didn't know what to do, they were almost by their parents now, maybe that would distract Rose, or hold her off for a while, if Ron or Hermione called her over. That wasn't the case. She got to him and Albus right before they made it to the parents.

"Oh Albus, I have something to tell you about dear Scorpius here. See, we made a deal, and he didn't follow up on his end of it, so I suppose I get to tell you! How lovely is that? Anyways, Scorpius here has a-" she was cut off, Scorpius decided not to let her finish. And he didn't know how else to get her to shut up, besides doing what he did.

He grabbed Albus's hand, and pulled him around to face him, instead of Rose. Albus's breath hitched when they realized how close their faces were. Scorpius moved his hand to cup Albus's cheek, and brushed his thumb over his cheek bone. Albus's eyes closed his eyes at the feeling, and leaned into it. When Scorpius saw that, that was when he decided to do it.

Scorpius leaned in, and barely brushed his lips against Albus's, gently. He didn't want to overstep any boundaries, and started to pull back slightly.

"Oh no you don't." Albus said, and grabbed Scorpius shirt, pulling him back, and kissed him firmly, bringing his arms up around his neck.

Scorpius brought his hand back up to Albus's cheek, and smiled into the kiss.

As whistles came from the Weasleys, the Potters, and possibly even his own father, Scorpius had never been happier, and he suspected Albus felt the same.

They pulled apart when he felt pain in his arm. Scorpius, still smiling with Albus, looked over at Rose who had her arms crossed. She had punched him.

"Okay, one, get a room, and two, no fair! I wanted to tell Albus." Rose whined.

Albus raised an eyebrow. "Wha-what do you mean you wanted to tell me?" He questioned, and looked at Scorpius.

"Well, I-I, we made a deal!" Rose declared. "We made a deal, that if Scorpius hadn't told you how he felt by the end of the year, that I would get to."

"Okay one, is that what the lot of you have been harassing him about all the time?" Albus demanded and Rose nodded, and muttered something about how she wouldn't call it harassing.

"And two," Albus continued, "Did Scorpius actually agree, to this 'deal'?"

Rose huffed. "Okay well he didn't particularly agree with it, but he never said anything in denial!"
