Scorpius felt Albus kissing down the length of his body. He was going much faster than Scorpius had, but Scorpius didn't mind. He wanted Albus to get to where all his pleasure was pooling. He was nervous, of course; this was new territory for Albus and he didn't want to screw things up. But, all of his intimate memories with Lorenzo put together didn't amount to the happiness he got from his few hours so far with Albus. He knew he was safe, he knew Albus genuinely loved him and he knew that this time, it was okay to fall. Because Albus would be there to catch him.

Albus stopped kissing at Scorpius' hips and pulled back. He inched forward slightly on his knees and with no warning, boldly reached out and grasped Scorpius' penis. Scorpius hips left the ground as he sought more contact.

"Merlin…Albus…" Scorpius murmured, his eyes fluttering shut. Scorpius' mind flashed briefly to the Quidditch pitch, to when Albus was massaging that broom handle and Scorpius wished harder than ever that he would experience it for himself. He smiled and relaxed into Albus' touch.

Albus, seeing the smile of Scorpius' face felt a barrier break and started to slowly pump Scorpius with one hand while the other started work on his balls. He watched, fascinated, as the pink head of Scorpius' penis popped in and out of his fist as he moved up and down his erection. He couldn't get enough of the small noises Scorpius was making, the way he was squirming. Albus wanted nothing more than to make Scorpius feel like this was where they were supposed to be. Making his mind up in a split second, Albus lowered his head.

He was entirely at a loss of how this was supposed to work, of what he was supposed to do and of what constituted a good blow job. He just knew that he had to be better than anything Scorpius had already experienced. With that thought in mind, Albus guided Scorpius' penis into his mouth, closing his lips over the tip.

Scorpius wrenched his eyes open; he caught Albus' gaze momentarily and watched, enraptured, as his penis disappeared into Albus' mouth. It took everything he had not to buck his hips; instead he moaned the loudest he had yet. The sensations were consuming him. Albus hummed happily and the vibrations sent shivers all the way up Scorpius' spine.

"Al…Al…Albus" He gasped. He knew he was going to be at his end soon. He had tried desperately to hold on for a longer time but he just couldn't do it, "Al, I'm c..co…"

Scorpius reached down and pulled Albus off him just as he orgasmed. He clenched tightly onto Albus' arms as he came, spurts of come catching both boys in their chests. Albus almost came in his pants, the look on Scorpius' face was priceless and the fact that it was his name on the blond's lips meant the world to him. He crawled up and lay down beside Scorpius, waiting for him to catch his breath.

"You know, you didn't have to pull me off of you" Albus murmured, kissing the crook of Scorpius' neck as he pulled him close.

"I wasn't sure if you'd want to and I didn't want to…you know, pressure you" Scorpius turned to face Albus.

"There's always next time" Albus said coyly. He was beyond happy, not only did Scorpius come, he seemed to have really liked what Albus had done. He made a mental note to remind himself to ask Scorpius how he racked up compared to Lorenzo, just for research purposes of course. Right now, he was content to lay beside the gorgeous boy he could finally call his.

"Hey Al?"

"Yeah?"

"I think you're overdressed."

Albus smirked at Scorpius, "Oh yeah? What would you like me to do about it?"

"Nothing at all. I'd actually like to do something about it" Scorpius didn't know where the boldness was coming from but he liked it.

Albus' grin stretched wider, "And you told me I was troublesome"

Scorpius laughed and started kissing Albus. His mouth kept Albus busy was his hands snaked down, between their bodies and made their way to Albus' trouser. He undid the clasp and zipper expertly and pulled away from Albus so he could sit up and pull them, along with his boxers, off.

Albus was still lying down and willed himself not to go red as Scorpius uncovered the rest of his body.

Scorpius just stared. There were many times he had pictured Albus naked, but the real thing was so much better. He reached tentatively for Albus' penis, trailing his fingers up the shaft and back down before wrapping his hand around it.

Albus was trying not to come right away. He was already at the brink; everything that had happened so far that night was better than his wildest dreams, and now seeing Scorpius' hand closed around his penis was overwhelming. His hips left the sheets as he started thrusting slowly into Scorpius' fist, unable to stop himself.

Scorpius' mind was reeling. He could not get over how hot Albus looked, lips parted, eyelids fluttering, breath coming in short gasps. Albus didn't make any audible sounds of being pleasured; just a few pants, his eyes would screw shut and his lips would purse tightly. Scorpius ate it all up, he was about to lower his head and repay Albus the first-class treatment he had just received when he felt Albus' dick pulse in his hand. He watched captivated as Albus came, trembling and hardly making a sound, his cum spilling out of him and onto Scorpius' hand. The stark contrast of their orgasms had Scorpius smiling as he moved up to lie beside Albus.

"Scor, I'm so sorry. I can…I'm usually…I don't usually come that fast" Albus said, allowing himself to be pulled into Scorpius' arms.

"Hey, it's okay! I figured you were probably close when I got started"

"I'm better than that, you know" Albus muttered but he didn't feel embarrassed anymore. Scorpius understood. Stretching his arm out to the side, he grabbed his wand from where it was protruding from his discarded jeans, "Accio washcloths" he whispered.

Scorpius was surprised to see two blue washcloths zooming out of the picnic basket into Albus' waiting hand.

"They're warm and damp. So we can clean off. I don't trust myself with cleaning charms in that particular area." Albus said, reaching out and starting to wipe the stick residue of their evening together off of Scorpius' chest

"Albus Potter. I can't believe how much thought you put into this!"

Albus blushed slightly, but continued to rub warm circles over Scorpius' chest, "I just wanted it to be perfect"

Scorpius pulled him into a kiss and took the other washcloth from him so he could start helping as well.

When they had both cleaned up and vanished the washcloths, they began to pull their clothes on.

"So, I don't know about you, but I'm rather hungry" Albus said, watching Scorpius get into his underwear.

"Starved. That was quite exhausting" Scorpius smiled when he caught Albus looking and decided not to put anything else on.

Albus, following his lead, just slipped into his boxers before walking over to the tree trunk. He grabbed the spare blankets and the basket and motioned Scorpius to follow him.

They emerged from under the tree and silently, Albus arranged the blankets on the ground. Scorpius heard him muttering an insect-repellant spell and then he beckoned Scorpius to sit beside him. It was late into the night now and the sky was deep blue, alight with the moon and stars.

"A moonlight picnic? You want me to fall in love, hm?" Scorpius murmured, kissing the top of Albus' head before sitting down.

Albus passed him a butterbeer and pulled out a few sandwiches and some treacle tart, "That's the idea, yes."

"Well, it's working." Scorpius happily took the sandwich.

After a while, they were sated; emotionally and physically – in every possible way. Albus vanished the now-empty basket and their garbage and then pulling an extra blanket over them, he lied down beside Scorpius, putting his head in Scorpius' lap

"Want to watch the stars for a little bit?" he asked softly.

Scorpius was absentmindedly stroking Al's hair, "Yeah, but we need to head back under the tree after. I don't fancy being seen by the whole school in my underwear."

Albus grinned, "Of course, now lie down with me will you?"

"No place I'd rather be" Scorpius said, moving his body so that he and Albus were level, staring up at the sky.

…

James had returned to Hogwarts early on Sunday morning. He wanted to go to the grounds to remove the charms he had set for Albus. He had set them up on Thursday, so he figured the boys would be done with them by now. Trying to push the mental image of his brother and the Malfoy out of his head, he strolled purposefully toward the willow tree.

"Oh Merlin" he groaned as he approached it.

Albus and Scorpius were asleep right outside the barrier he had put up. They looked naked. There were blankets were obscuring his vision, but he was very thankful for that. He couldn't believe that they had been stupid enough not to get back under the tree. He had no idea how to deal with this kind of a situation; auror training had not been that extensive. He gingerly walked closer to them, wincing inwardly when the saw that two pairs of underwear had been tossed into the grass; they were naked indeed.

"Al, you bloody idiot, wake up!" He hissed while prodding Albus with the toe of his shoe.

To his surprise, it was Scorpius' eyes that fluttered open, then squinted against the morning light.

"Uh, James?" He croaked. He began to sit up, trying desperately to get his bearings. Why was he outside? Why was Albus' brother here? Why was he naked?

The answers to all those questions came back in vivid detail; the snuggling which had led to Scorpius going about finishing the job he had wanted to do earlier, Albus insisting that he pay him back and the two of them coming in near-unison under the stars. He blushed crimson, putting his hands over the blankets so that they wouldn't fall away from his body.

"Right, hi Scorpius." James felt like he should shake his hand, but he didn't really want to make it more uncomfortable than it was, "Why…why aren't you guys under the tree? You realize you wouldn't have been seen there?"

"How did you know about the tree?" was the first question Scorpius asked and he immediately felt stupid. Of all things he could inquire about…

"I helped Al set it up, now please. Can you wake him up and get some clothes on? And then get the hell back into the school before your mates find you both naked on the grounds?"

Scorpius nodded dumbly. James was a very nice person; he hadn't expected that but he'd have time to ponder it later. He shook Albus awake.

"Blimey, James!" Albus said groggily, sitting up.

"Shut it Al, and get up will you?" James was starting to panic, any minute the early risers would be up and walking about, maybe even thinking of having breakfast on the grounds.

Albus smiled and got out from under the blanket unabashedly. Scorpius, torn between wanting to see Albus naked and not wanting to be caught by James checking his brother out, decided to wrap a blanket around himself and stand up. Albus retrieved their underwear and then pulled Scorpius under the tree, shooting a half-apologetic, half-amused smile at James.

They emerged mere minutes later and James was relieved to see that they were fully dressed. Albus thanked him quickly; pulling him into a quick hug and promising to make it up to him. And Scorpius, looking everywhere but at James, also muttered a quick thanks before they took off together towards the school at a run.

James watched them leave. As annoyed as he was that they almost got caught, he was happy for Albus. His eyebrows knit together as he started to undo the spells, and he thought about the future for Albus and Scorpius. He expected that they'd have amazing stories to tell one day; of adventures, love and friendship.

Even though there was incontestable sweetness in their new love, there was no denying it: they were quite the troublesome pair.
