Albus groaned as James's snoring reached a headache inducing volume. He could faintly hear Lily below the snores, muttering muggle pop-culture references in her sleep.

Would his 17th never arrive?

"Try to ignore it. We'll get your parents to switch the rooms up tomorrow." Scorpius's deep, sleep-filled voice filled his tired ears far more pleasantly than his siblings' did. He snuggled back into his boyfriend's strong chest and tried to ignore the noise.

"I just wish they'd trust us," Albus whispered. "They know how I feel about that before bonding."

Scorpius sighed in agreement.

"Just one more week and you'll be seventeen. It's not that long. And then we'll have the rest of our lives together." Scorpius kissed the back of Albus's neck. "Night, babe. I love you."

Albus twisted the engagement ring on his left ring finger and closed his eyes. "Love you, too." More than anything.
