Sex Education // Scorbus

Chapter 12 - The First Day

*Very mild smut warning, nothing too graphic*

Albus and Scorpius were sat at a table in Three Broomsticks with Lily and her almost-two year old daughter, Claire. Yesterday had been the last day of term, but the Professors still had three more days to wrap up any grading, and for people like Scorpius and Albus, to move their belongings out of the teacher quarters.

Today was the first day that the men would be allowed to start moving into their new home in Hogsmead. Lily was there to help them set up and go furniture shopping. They were now currently on their 'lunch break', and Claire was stuffing chips into her face, obviously being pushed around in a cart was a lot of work.

"I think you'll be happy with that mattress, Micheal and I have one of that brand and it does wonders," Lily commented between bites of food.

"I think the only problem we'll have is deciding between the navy duvet and the black and grey stripped one," Scorpius replied, a fond smile on his face.

Albus smiled at his boyfriend, his heart warming and stomach flipping at the thought of sharing a bed with him, "Definitely the navy one."

Scorpius shook his head, "At least we don't need one for a while. It's blazing hot out anyways, we'd just kick it to the floor," he took a drink before offhandedly adding, "The grey and black one matches our sheets better."

"Mum and dad are gonna want to stop by soon, how much longer till you get access to the keys?" Lily wondered as she helped Claire take a drink from her sippy cup.

"We were told at two, which is-" Albus waved his finger, conducting wandless magic, to see the time quickly, "-twenty minutes from now."

Lily shrugged, "That's not bad, we could walk around and check out the shops until we get the okay to come," she suggested.

The four of them walked aimlessly around Hogsmead until the clock turned to two and they made their way through the town to Albus and Scorpius' new home. Fortunately the process was swift and they were given the keys without much hassle.

Scorpius pushed the front door open and little Claire was the first to wobble her way inside. Albus made a move to pick her up but she giggled and ran off down the hall. Scorpius watched fondly as his boyfriend played so lovingly with his niece.

Lily noticed his fond staring, "Would you ever want kids?" She asked softly, knowing Albus couldn't hear.

"Yeah, I've always thought I'd have maybe one or two. Obviously I love kids, hence me becoming a professor, but I don't actually know if I'd make a good dad. Especially at the younger age. I can deal with eleven and up..." he sighed.

Lily nodded understandingly, "If it counts, I think you'd make a lovely father. Claire likes you enough," she teased. "I know Albus has always wanted to be a dad. He's talked about it for ages and he always loved playing house with me as kids. He was the mum of course."

Scorpius chuckled at the thought of a young Albus holding a plastic baby doll and cradling it in his arms.

The new couple was finally alone. Their place wasn't put together, boxes still scattered the place but they didn't seem to care. They were sprawled out on their new bed, in their fresh new sheets.

Scorpius beamed up at his boyfriend, the latter laid out on his back, his hands behind his head. Scorpius had an arm lazily tossed over his chest, "How crazy is it that we've been dating for two weeks and now we've already got our own place?"

"It's pretty crazy, but I've never been happier," Albus admitted, lifting his head up slightly to connect their lips for a moment. Scorpius responded with more passion than Al had expected but he wasn't going to complain.
