Albus Potter hated Scorpius Malfoy because he loved him. Except every time Albus works up the courage to tell Scorpius how he feels, Scorpius has to leave. Usually Albus is called away to his job right after, so it's not like he ever would have time to tell him.
Still, it's extremely frustrating that Scorpius can't just read his mind and reciprocate his feelings.
Maybe, instead of hating Scorpius, Albus actually hates his job. It would interrupt him every time he would tell Scorpius the truth, anyway.
Albus is a superhero sidekick. Not the most glamorous job, but he felt good when he helped save someone, and he was fine with being in the background while everyone fawned over the main hero.
The Scorpion.
…
Scorpius has a crush on his sidekick, which is not how it's supposed to be at all, but somehow it is like that and he sort of hates it, but that's what his heart feels.
His heart's a mess.
Scorpius is a superhero, and he has a really cute sidekick—he has to make a conscious effort to not stare at his sidekick, Asp, when they go out. It's Asp's fault, really; he wears a really tight bodysuit, all black with lines of green that complemented his eyes.
They spend a lot of time together, and Scorpius is almost certain that his feelings are reciprocated, which is why he's shocked when Asp rejects him.
…
Hyperion liking him might be the funniest things that Albus has ever heard of. Why would he like Albus? Albus was just a sidekick.
So he laughs. He actually laughs, right in is face.
It's not like dating Hyperion would be bad, it's just that Albus doesn't really know who Hyperion is in real life. Also, he's been holding out for Scorpius for a long time, and he's not ready to let that go.
…
(of course, if he knew the truth, he'd be in his arms in a second.)
