Day Ten - December 10th
main prompt: bells
pairing/character: Louis {&Scorpius}
Louis awoke to the sound of bells, and something in the back of his hazy mind stirred told him that it was Christmas morning. He rolled over, his hand brushing against something – or someone – as he did so.
"Oh no," he groaned quietly, "Not again."
The blond that lay next to him stirred, covering his eyes with the back of his hand, shading himself from the sun that was trickling through the gap in the curtain. He looked at Louis with something that almost resembled boredom, and sighed, "We really do have to stop meeting like this."
Louis' head was spinning, and he sank back down into the cushion, closing his eyes and praying that by the time he opened them again, Malfoy would've disappeared.
He heard a soft chuckle that alerted him to the fact that his Christmas wish had failed to come true.
"You know, it really isn't my fault – you just keep throwing yourself at me. It's pretty pathetic really," Scorpius mused, pulling himself up into a seating position.
Don't rise, Louis thought, biting his tongue to keep himself from arguing.
"You know, it's only because I feel sorry for you that anything ever happens between us – I mean, look at you. I'm clearly way too good for this."
"Leave then," Louis said, through gritted teeth – willing himself not to punch Malfoy in the face, "Leave, if you're too good for me. Go back to your family, open your presents and stuff yourself with food. I'll do the same,"
Scorpius paused for a moment, unsure of what to do with himself, "Clearly you're getting a bit tetchy, Weasley, it's only because - "
"I can still hear you talking, Malfoy," Louis asked, his voice heavy with sarcasm, "Are you going to go, and leave the poor Weasley boy who really doesn't deserve your presence all, or are you going to shut up?"
Scorpius collapsed onto the bed again, defeated and tired looking, "I don't mean it, you know," he mumbled, against the pillow.
Louis smiled over at him, and Scorpius took his hand. The bells rang out again, but this time Louis was far too distracted to pay any attention at all to them.
