Expectations | Scorbus

Everyone wants to meet their soulmate at the coffee shop, or the florist, or somewhere meaningful. Everyone wants a nice story to pass on to strangers, or tell their families - something that'll prove that the relationship is built to last.

Though, sometimes, the universe doesn't have time to thrust two unsuspecting people into a situation where they can meet - something that proves, undoubtedly, that their souls have the possibility to intertwine.

Scorpius loved the promise of meeting his perfect stranger somewhere perfect, in a novel-worthy situation.

He didn't particularly want to meet Albus Potter the way he did, but he hardly wanted to let it lower his expectations. Maybe it was a not-so-cute-meet-cute.

But it would hurt, like hell, if it wasn't.
