My first story, please feel free to let me know if you like and how I could improve.
After a full day of lessons, Scorpius was looking forward to spending the evening with his best friend- Albus Potter. However, Scorpius' feelings for his friend had developed over the years into something more. He loved him. He was all he could think about, so today was the day he would finally make his feelings clear.
As he made his way towards the grounds, Rose's words played over and over in is head. "Just tell him. He'll be fine, honestly. In fact, he might be more than fine." His heart leapt at the idea. Could Albus really love him back? He was about to find out.
Albus was lying on a wooden pontoon that floated on the lake just next to the bank. He was relaxing in the heat, his eyes closed and a he was grinning slightly. Scorpius could see he was enjoying himself. He stopped at the edge of the bank.
"Have you any idea what creatures call that lake 'home?'" Scorpius asked, grinning. Albus had rolled his trousers up to his knees and his feet dipped in the cool water.
"Let's just hope the giant squid doesn't have a foot fetish." Albus replied, keeping his eyes closed and laughing too himself. Giggling, Scorpius jumped across the small gap between the pontoon and the bank to join the fellow Slytherin. He sat down next to Albus' head and looked out across the shimmering lake.
"How was divination?" Albus asked in a mocking tone, opening one eye to look up his friend. Scorpius looked down at him smirking.
"It was fun actually." He replied.
"it's bullshit." Albus laughed, closing his eyes again.
"it's fascinating!" Scorpius retorted, still looking down at his friend, admiring his freckled cheeks and messy black hair.
Albus snorted. "gay."
Frowning, Scorpius replied, "Albus.. You're gay."
"Exactly, which is why I can say shit like that. Straight boys like you however-" Scorpius cut him off.
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that." Albus sat up, turning to his friend, a frown on his face. He kept one foot gently stirring in the water. Scorpius looked down at his own hands, nervously twisting one of the buttons on his robes.
"Albus, I'm gay. I'm in love with a boy." Albus was confused. He shook his head.
"But what about Rose?" He asked, completely bewildered. Scorpius looked at him. His green eyes seemed to glow in the sunlight.
" what about her?"
"You've been going out for like a year, as far as I'm aware Rose is a gi-"
"Rose isn't my girlfriend, Albus. She's just a really good friend… what made you think we were going out?"
Albus was still confused, he could've sworn his cousin and Scorpius together. "I , I just… Assumed. Well then, who is it you like?"
Scorpius took a deep breath. "Albus, you're my best friend and I don't want this to ruin our friendship but, it's you. I love you… more than a friend." There was a silence. Scorpius looked up and his lips instantly met Albus'. They were soft and warm. He ran his fingers through Albus' hair. He had dreamt of this moment. After what felt like hours, they finally pulled apart. They were inches from each other and their eyes were locked on one another's. Finally, Albus spoke.
"How long?"
"Two years? Three? Since I met you?" Scorpius breathed, still staring into Albus' deep green eyes. Albus giggled.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner, dickhead? Merlin knows how long I've loved you." Scorpius' heart was racing. He was sure he was dreaming. He pressed his lips against Albus' once again and pushed him down onto his back, where Scorpius cuddled up against him. "So… what are we?" he asked.
"Hogwarts' cutest couple."
The End I hope you enjoyed!
