Together

He sits on the floor with his younger sister, causing sparkles to fly out of the end of his wand. She giggles, attempting to catch them, before making her own wandlessly. He grins at her, turning to look at his boyfriend. "That awkward moment when your three year old sister is better at magic than you," he says, his voice playful.

"Of course I am!" she replies, her voice sounding smug.

His boyfriend just shrugs. "You get used to it after a while. Merlin knows how much better Lily Luna did in her O.W.L.s than I did."

He shakes his head. "I don't know, James. Rose was pretty pissed when she discovered that Hugo did better than her."

"Fair point, Scorp. Most people get used to it."

"I haven't!" his sister exclaims, bouncing onto her toes and spinning around.

"Um, Scorp?" He turns to look at James, who is twirling dark thumbs around each other.

"Yeah? What's up?"

"Would you—you know that I recently moved into a new flat?" When Scorpius nods, he continues with, "Well, would you, you know, like to move in with me?"

Scorpius doesn't reply for a few moments, so James begins to talk again. "I'm sorry, you don't have to, it was a stupid idea—"

He is cut off when Scorpius throws his arms around him. "Of course I'll move in with you, Dumbass," he whispers into James' shoulder.

He is packing his stuff into boxes when his father enters the room. Scorpius looks over at him, briefly, before going back to his boxes. Draco clears his throat. "Yes?" Scorpius asks, looking at him in annoyance.

"I was going to ask if you needed any help packing."

"Do you want me out that badly?"

"No!" Draco actually looks insulted. Scorpius resists the urge to snort. "I just want to help."

Scorpius allows the laugh to come out this time. "You didn't want to help me when I was eight and my mother had just died. Or when I was eleven and needed to get my stuff for Hogwarts. Or—"

"Maybe I have not been so good to you in the past, but I'm trying now. Why can't you accept that?"

"It's too late. Just don't do the same to Carina."

Scorpius is only at peace when he settles down into his new bed, James at his side. "I could get used to this," he murmurs lightly into his boyfriend's shoulder. "My last home was not… as enjoyable as this."

"My mum and dad will be here tomorrow to sort out our house to their standards. Is that alright?"

"Of course. As long as I have you the day after."

"Obviously. As I always say, out of all the men and women I could have in the world, I'm glad I picked one who knows how to spend his time wisely." Scorpius rolls his eyes at that, but hugs his boyfriend tighter nonetheless.

"I'm glad I have you too, I suppose," he replies steadily. "You're one of the best people I've dated."

James lets out a low chuckle at this proclamation, and they fall asleep together in their content position.

I was well unmotivated to finish this. I have had the first section since like the fifth of June and didn't know how to finish it. Hence the mess I just pulled out of my ass. Oh well.
