"Al," Scorpius muttered, looking up from his feet to the boy's face, "I've been thinking about something."

Albus, who was currently standing with his book bag on his bed, shuffling through it, stopped to look at Scorpius. "Yeah Scorp?"

"I would like to kiss you."

Albus's eyes widened. "Wha-!" he whispered breathlessly. Kissing was what mothers did to their sons, not friends! Wait, that's not true, he told himself. He once saw people not too much older than himself snogging in Diagon Alley. Surely Scorp didn't want to snog him!

"What?" Al said again, this time louder. He's only eleven! Though Scorp is twelve now, he thought. Maybe something changes when you're older.

"Malcolm – you know him, the third year – "

"Yes, Scorp, how could I not?" Scorpius and Malcolm have been against each other since the start of Scorpius's first year, both trying to outdo each other in anything. Al has been on Scorpius's side since the beginning, and to be honest, he didn't think Malcolm could even compare to him.

"Yes, well he keeps bragging how he's kissed many people, and I can't truly say that I have."

"So you want to kiss me?" Al didn't know what to think.

"Well you're a prime choice, Al. You're my best friend. Who else is better?" Scorpius tilted his head to the side and got on his knees to walk to Al. He was just a foot in front of his friend. Al was looking somewhere to the right of Scorpius, not taking anything in. He couldn't even think straight.

"I don't know," he finally said with a shrug.

Scorpius moved a little bit closer to Albus. Al decided that if it was going to happen, he should probably look at him. They stared at each other for what seemed like an immeasurable about of time to Al without saying anything. Al wanted to speak when Scorpius squinted his eyes just a fraction. And then suddenly but slowly Scorpius moved towards Al, and put his hands on the other boy's shoulders. Scorpius's eyes didn't move from Al's as their lips touched.

They were both surprised that Al stuck his lips out to meet Scorpius's.

All in all Al decided that it was one of the most awkward moments of his life. Their faces were so close and all he could smell was him, and they were kissing for Merlin's sake!

Al had no idea what to think. Should he do something with his hands? Merlin forbid, do something with his lips? He was kissing Scorpius. Scorpius!

Al decided to shut his eyes. That's what you're supposed to do, right? He sure hoped so. He didn't think he could stand looking into Scorpius's grey eyes when they were that close for long. Were his eyes closed?

Scorpius wouldn't admit that he had no idea what he was doing. There had to be more than this, right? He pressed a bit harder and pulled him a little closer. Al stumbled a little and pulled away. They both opened their eyes at the same time; Al was happy to see that Scorpius's eyes were shut too.

Scorpius could've smiled at the two red circles on Al's cheekbones. He patted Al's shoulder. "Thanks, mate."

Almost subconsciously Albus rubbed his mouth. It wasn't like he was getting spit off. "You're welcome, I guess. So are you going to move?" He shoved Scorpius back so he could get into his bag to get a quill and ink.

"So was I good?"

Albus laughed. "You're such an idiot, Scorp."

"Well was it?" Scorpius got up and gathered his equipment that was strewn across his unmade bed.

"I don't know. I haven't had much experience, a bit more than you though. But I say you could use some work." He smirked. The only experience he's ever had was from his mum and aunts. They both knew that. Scorpius didn't look the least bit perturbed by his statement. Al didn't think he would be.

"Hurry up you oaf." Scorpius was at their dorm's door, tapping his foot. Al rolled his eyes.

Scorpius had a tendency to be demanding. He held the door open for Al to walk into the hall. Once the door was shut behind them Albus spoke his mind. "That was the worst kiss ever."

He laughed when Scorpius slapped him on the back of the head. Hard.


A/N: Yes, I know it's short and not what most people (*coughlisecough*) wanted to happen. But they're only 11/12! I've thought about writing another version of this with more "action". If you want to read it jsut message me. =]
