Dark
"You don't want me! You don't want this! Why would you? Merlin, I knew this would never work out. I fucking knew! There's no reason you would want me." Scorpius spat furiously through his tears. Just… go be with that Gryffindor girl and make everyone else happy, ok?" He ended with a plea before finally dissolving into silent sobs, his pretty face blotchy and red.
"What… what are you talking about? Are you breaking up with me?" A bewildered Albus quickly looked around the library before attempting to gather the heartbroken boy into his arms. Scorpius, on the other hand, had different plans. Pushing the Gryffindor away, Scor stared at him intently.
"I'm not stupid. I know you're cheating on me. I knew you'd get sick of me eventually. I'm too fucked up for anyone to love for long." He laughed derisively. "I just wish you would have used some of that fucking worthless Gryffindor nobility to say it to my face." Al's face suddenly tensed with understanding, then rage.
"You thought I was fucking CHEATING ON YOU?" He screeched, forgetting briefly their location. Clamping his hands onto Scorpius's slightly higher shoulders, he shook the younger boy slightly. "I. Love. You. I would NEVER cheat on you. You are NOT fucked up. ". He stopped shaking him and wrapped his arms around the still form of his no longer crying boyfriend. Albus had thought the Scorpius had gotten over these insecurities months ago, but apparently not.
Scorpius caved into Al, holding him tightly and sobbing into his neck. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I saw you walking out of that empty class room some girl, and it validated all the dark things I think all the time. It's just so dark in my head Al. It's so dark, and you're the only reason I can see, and I thought… I thought maybe I was going to lose you and everything was going to be dark forever."
Al sat down and carefully pulled the shaking boy onto his lap. Rubbing his back in slow circles, he whispered "Scorpius Malfoy. I love you. It doesn't have to be dark all the time. I'm never going to leave you. Don't be afraid of the dark."
Scorpius didn't respond, and the boys remained seated, fighting off the dark for a little longer.
