AN/ Hello! So this chapter is defiantly super different. It's told from a new POV. I didn't really know where I was going with this and I'm still not sure of what I just spent the last 30 minutes typing but I wanted to show Rose and Scorpius's relationship in a new light. Again, I don't know what feedback for this will look like but if it's positive I'm thinking of doing a sequel somewhere down the road. Anyways, long story short, this is something different than normal and it's pretty weird but I kind of like it and I hope you do too!

Albus Potter had officially decided that he was thoroughly confused by Rose and Scorpius. The night wasn't abnormal. They were sitting in their apartment with Lily, Hugo, and James watching some movie on Rose's TV. They did this at least once a month and so it was very frustrating to him that he suddenly found his two best friends so alluring.

The three of them had been attached at the hip since they were 11. They were 24 now making that a solid 13 years of friendship, 8 of which Rose and Scorpius had been together. It was odd to think of a time that they hadn't been dating and Albus often found himself thinking of them as one instead of two very different people.

But now, as he watched them sitting together, Rose practically sitting on Scorpius's lap, their heads bent together in a way that looked so natural, Albus found himself baffled. When they had first gotten together so many years ago, Albus hardly batted an eyelash. It was a long time coming and if anything it was a relief to know that he would no longer have to watch either of them deny their obvious affection.

But here, watching Scorpius not so discreetly throw popcorn at Rose's face everytime she looked away from him, he just didn't understand. How was it that two people, two people who were practically opposites, fit together so well?

Rose was truly a Weasley. Loud, always hungry, almost frighteningly red headed, short tempered and also insanley pure at heart. Scorpius, on the other hand, was more reserved at first glance. Albus assumed that it had something to do with his family's past. But aside from his general shyness, Scorpius was insanely smart, very blonde, fairly level-headed and genuinely a fantastic person.

He just didn't understand. Of course, he'd seen this kind of love through his parents, and grandparents and of course with all of his aunts and uncles. But for some reason, this sat differently with him. Perhaps it was because the people in question happened to be his age. Or maybe it was because he spent so much time with them and he had simply failed to notice how in love they truly are. You know what they say about to Potter men. Completely oblivious they are.

The fact of the matter was the Albus Potter could not for the life of him figure out why something ruptured in his chest as he watched his best friend, brother more like, mindlessly rub circles on his cousin's back.

He wasn't snapped out of his 'trance' until a piece of popcorn hit him square between the eyes and lodged itself behind his face and his glasses. He looked up to see Scorpius smirking at him and Rose eyeing him curiously.

"Nice shot," Albus scowled taking the piece of popcorn and flicking it into his mouth.

"I'd like to think so. Are you alright, mate? You seem a bit spaced out," Scorpius said shoveling popcorn into his mouth as he spoke.

"Scorpius, don't speak with your mouth open. It's gross," Rose said elbowing him.

Scorpius rolled his eyes but looked at Albus expectantly. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired I guess," he said shrugging.

Scorpius didn't look too convinced but smiled reassuringly nonetheless. "Whatever you say, mate," he said pulling Rose a little closer to him which caused another weird pang in Al's chest.

"Could you two gits stop talking so I can enjoy the movie? We're almost at the end and I'm trying to concentrate," James snapped from his place at the foot of the couch.

Both Albus and Scorpius rolled their eyes. "Didn't know you were such a conseir of the cinema, Jamie," Hugo said laughing.

"I'm not, and don't call me that. I just want to know if Charlie wins!" he exclaimed. This only made Hugo laugh harder.

"I didn't realize that Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was so physiologically demanding," Lily mused from her spot next to Hugo. James chunked a handful of popcorn at them that scattered all over the carpet.

"I'm not cleaning that up," Rose said glaring at her cackling family members.

"I'll do it, love," Scorpius said pressing a kiss to her forehead and stood to go get the vacuum, which Rose's mum had given her two Christmases ago and was totally her favorite thing she owned.

Albus watched as Scorpius cleaned the mess up, slid back down to the couch and immediately wrapped his arms back around Rose. The entire action was so effortless and watching it was what made things finally clicked.

He was jealous. He was completely and totally jealous of what his two friends had and it had only taken him 8 years to figure it out. He felt like an idiot. But what could he do? Nothing. The answer was nothing. He would sit by and stay lonely for the rest of his continued to sulk for the remainder of the movie and right as the final credits rolled, a thought struck him.

Rose and Scorpius were getting married in only a matter of months. He was going to be a great best man, and he was going to bring a date. Because if he really wanted what his friends had then he was going to have to put himself out there. Which was terrifying, really. But he was going to do it.

And if it didn't work, then he'd try again. Because he realized that love; real, raw, unadulterated love, like what Rose and Scorpius had, wasn't something you just found easily. You had to work for it. And he, Albus Severus Potter, was going to do it.

AN/ I know that this was weird and everything but please, please, please let me know what you think! Thanks for reading!
