I finally updated! I hope you guys enjoy and thank you so much for you reviews, they made my day!

Albus woke up a few hours later in in his own bed. He closed his eyes and struggled to return to his dream world, where he'd been reliving the evening he'd just spent with Scorpius. The images of the man quivering beneath him, swearing at him for more had left Albus hard. Jumping out of bed Albus quickly made his way to the shower, where he could take care of the morning wood.

Once he'd taken care of himself and was clean and dressed, Albus began to formulate a plan. Undoubtedly he was attracted to the Slytherin; the chemistry between them was obvious. But did he want to put his neck out and take it to the next level?

Albus studied the ceiling above his bed as he contemplated taking the next step, and decided that yes, he did. He was curious about Scorpius, who was so different to everything Albus had previously expected of him. The other man intrigued him in more ways than one, and he definitely liked that he could match him physically in the bedroom, seeming to know what buttons to press to get him incredibly turned on.

Albus smiled to himself, he had to admit he liked a bad boy. The edge of danger and forbidden was thrilling.

The blonde was probably incredibly pissed at him after his disappearing act this morning, Albus frowned, Scorpius didn't seem like the type to take being walked out on lying down. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to let Scorpius know that he was coming by; lest the man told him he wasn't welcome. It would probably be a better idea to simply show up unannounced under the pretences of retrieving his jumper.

Smiling, Albus jumped out of his bed and with a spring in his step bounced down the stairs.

'Where do you think you're going?' Harry asked from the living room as his son made a move for the door. Albus paused, irritated at being delayed. He need to get over to Scorpius's flat before his Gryffindor courage failed him.

'I'm going to a friend's place, I left my jumper there,' he sighed. Harry gave him a stern look.

'Same friend you were with last night?'

'Yes, dad,' Albus groaned, letting Harry know how painfully long this conversation was taking.

'And who was that?'

'Alec Vaisely.' Albus said thinking on the spot, well it wasn't technically a lie.

'Ravenclaw boy isn't he?' Harry asked, trying to place the name.

'Yes, now can I go?' Albus asked impatiently.

'Are you going to be home tonight?' Harry asked, ignoring Albus's tone.

'I don't know, I'll let you know,' he said, Albus hoped he wasn't going to be home anyway.

'Okay, have fun then,' Harry waved Albus out before returning to his paper.

Albus walked down the path towards the apparition point just outside the protective spells. He crossed his arms over his chest, wishing he'd thought to bring another jacket, it was unseasonably cool for June.

Scorpius growled down at the heavy box he was hauling up his apartment stairs, leave it to Alec to make him do all the heavy lifting. Pushing open the door of their apartment he dropped the box, letting its contents spill onto the floor.

'What do you think you're doing?' Alec yelled storming over to pick up the books the box had contained. 'Some of these are really valuable,' he piled them back up and began stacking them onto the large bookcase that took up an entire wall of their living room.

'Ravenclaws,' Scorpius cursed under his breath, kicking a nearby box labelled 'kitchen'.

'If you're going to be in a foul mood all day, can you a least tell me why?' Alec asked, frustrated by his friends behaviour. They had planned to spend the day unpacking, but whatever had crawled up Scorpius's arse was making him more hindrance than help. Or whoever hadn't crawled up his arse, Alec chuckled to himself, guessing the source of his friend's behaviour.

But the Slytherin just glared at him and stalked back out and down the stairs to where their furniture had been delivered.

Stupid muggles and not being able to use magic, Scorpius fumed, annoyed that their new apartment block housed a few non-magic folk, making what would usually be a simple task a day of hard labour. Unfortunately on the lease they'd had to promise not to perform magic outside of the privacy of their flat.

Not that Scorpius had a problem with muggles, after the war his parents had worked hard to ensure that the same prejudices they'd experienced in their lifetime would not be the same for him, so he would not make the same mistakes his father had. But having never been exposed to many muggles before, Scorpius didn't understand their strange practices or how they'd managed for years without magic. He preferred to leave them alone, unlike Alec who had a fondness for muggle culture and music.

Scorpius continued to fume as he examined the desk that sat among the last remaining boxes, how the hell was he going to get this thing up two flights of stairs?

As he contemplated calling Alec down to help him out someone cleared their throat purposefully behind him. Turning around Scorpius met Albus's green eyes. Quickly schooling his expression into a cool mask the Slytherin crossed his arms over his chest, giving the other man a hard look.

Squirming under the Slytherin's gaze, Albus had the decency to look ashamed.

'Ah, hi,' he said, shuffling on his feet with his hands in his pockets.

'What do you want Potter?' Scorpius snapped getting straight to the point, he had no patience for chit-chat.

'I forgot my sweater,' Albus told him, sheepishly. Scorpius just glared and turned away.

'Wait,' Albus said stepping forward, Scorpius turned back to face the Gryffindor who had a look in his eye Scorpius couldn't place.

'What?' Scorpius snapped.

'I just wanted to say I'm sorry about this morning,' Albus said sincerely. 'I shouldn't have just run out without giving you an explanation.' Scorpius just continued to stare at the green-eyed man, a little dumbfounded by the unexpected apology, but with his pride still hurt he refused to succumb to the feelings the Gryffindor inspired in him.

'No explanation needed, there is nothing to say,' Scorpius said stiffly, going back to attempting to lift the desk.

'If you're not going to accept my apology then at least let me help you,' Albus said, moving to take hold of the other end of the desk.

'Let go,' Scorpius hissed. 'I don't need your help,' he glared across the desk at Albus.

'Well what can I do then so that you'll forgive me?' Albus asked firmly. Oh let me count the ways, Scorpius thought to himself darkly. That's what he gets for going after Potters.

'Nothing,' he huffed, trying not to look directly at the Gryffindor's pleading eyes, he could feel his resolve fading, damn those green eyes.

'Let me take you out for dinner,' Albus offered. Scorpius stopped pulling the desk and stared. Albus held his breath, so far trying to redeem himself and putting himself out there wasn't going as well as he'd hoped. But he determinedly held the other man's hard gaze.

'Please,' he asked again. Scorpius paused for a moment, his expression still unreadable.

'Fine,' he final said. 'You finish helping me unpack and you take me out for dinner. Then I'll see how I feel about forgiving you.'

Albus exhaled with relief and smiled brightly, which Scorpius didn't know what to make of.

'Great, let me help,' he said, seeming pleased with himself as he again took hold of the desk and the two began manoeuvring it up the stairs in silence.

Scorpius's mind reeled as he looked up at Albus who was smiling happily. The Gryffindor had offered to take him to dinner. Did he mean like a date? Scorpius wondered. And if it was, did that mean that maybe, just maybe, Albus might have feelings for him too? If that was the case the Slytherin was determined to get some answers.

Scorpius's eyes zeroed in on Albus's flexed muscular arms and forced himself not to lick his lips, picturing the muscular torso that was hidden under the man's thin shirt.

Oh he was definitely getting an answer out of the Gryffindor tonight, before his speculations earned him a ticket to St Mungos. The still smiling Gryffindor was going to drive him crazy.
