Albus sat in the library staring at the door. Classes had ended over a half an hour ago and Scorpius had still not shown up. Was he getting stood up even before they started dating? Albus shook his head, he could not think that way. He would wait for at least an hour before he let himself think like that.

He stared down at the chess board trying to figure out what was his next move. "Are you so bad at chess you can't even beat yourself?" Albus' eyes shot up to see a smiling Scorpius sitting down across from him.

"Hey, I almost beat you last time we played!"

"Sure, sure, sure," he laughed waving it off. Scorpius paused for before almost whispering, "So...why did you...ask me here?" Scorpius could tell that he sounded awkward but that was how he felt.

"Well I want to know why you kissed me." Scorpius wanted to laugh. There was no one else that he knew of that would have just come out and say it like that. "I-I mean I get it if you don't like me. B-but if you d-did that would be cool too." Scorpius was surprised, Albus was feeling even more nervous then he was! "I mean no pressure! I-I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to. That is not..."

"Can I speak?" Scorpius asked interrupting Albus who was rambling non-stop.

"Please," Albus sighed nearly falling over on the table.

Scorpius laughed, he really was cute. "I-I kissed you because I was confused. When you kissed me, it wasn't my first kiss or anything, but I never felt like that before..."

"Does that mean you like me?" Albus shot up so that he was mere inches from Scorpius' face.

Scorpius pecked him on the lips quickly before anyone could see, "Yes," he whispered before backing away. "But no one can know."

Scorpius stopped for a second looking around the corridors, he thought he had heard Filch. When he was sure there were no footsteps he kept walking. It had been a week since Scorpius had met Albus in the library, and they had had barely any time together. That morning, though, the owl from before had handed him another note.

'Go to the seventh floor and look for a door across from the tapestry of Barnaby'

Scorpius was pretty sure there wasn't a door where Albus had told him to go, at least not one that he had ever noticed. He would be pissed if Albus was trying to be funny. He stopped in surprise when he saw the door, that had not been there this afternoon. Scorpius carefully opened the door not sure what he would see on the other side. When Scorpius saw the room he was speechless.

There was a large fire burning across the room from him and Albus standing at a small table that was set up with all kinds of foods. There were tapestries hanging across all the walls and candles set up everywhere. There was no way Albus could have all of this on his own. "You like it?" Albus asked pulling him inside and closing the door behind them. Scorpius could only nod as he looked around the room.

Albus smiled, it had taken him almost four tries to get this room perfect.

Albus walked three times across where he knew the door should be. Thinking 'Romantc date. Romantic date...' Finally a door appeared and he walked inside. His jaw dropped at what he saw. There was a large bed with rose petals across the sheets. The only lights were candles everywhere.

'No, this would totally scare Scorpius away,' he sighed walking back out of the room. He looked back at the bed once, there were so many fun things they could do on that...Albus snapped out of it when he realized he was literally drooling.

The second and third time hadn't gone much better, both times a bed had appeared again and with the third time there had even been a large bath with oils lining the rim. It had been so tempting to just leave the room like that but he didn't want Scorpius to kill him even before they had really started dating. Maybe the second date...

Scorpius was surprised when he sat down to see the table was set with chocoballs and cherry syrup and soda. "How did you know my favorite foods?" he asked as Albus poured both of them a cup.

"You mentioned it once before, so I made sure to remember it," he shrugged before sitting back down across from him.

"Oh, I feel bad. I don't know any of your favorite things," Scorpius mumbled as he picked up his drink.

Albus laughed, "Don't worry about it! I'm sure you'll figure some out soon enough."

If anyone asked Scorpius or Albus later what the two had talked about for over an hour neither would probably be able to say. They would just say that they had a good time, there were lots of laughs, and Scorpius learned a lot about Albus.

After all the food was gone Albus moved closer to the fire where there were some pillows on the floor. He motioned for Scorpius to follow him. Scorpius moved to the floor when an idea hit him. He laid down so that his head was in Albus' lap.

Albus was surprised when Scorpius laid down like that, but he wasn't about to complain. He slowly started running his fingers through Scorpius's hair. He couldn't help himself, it looked so soft. He was right. "Your hair is softer then a girl's!"

"How many times have you run your fingers through a girl's hair?" Scorpius growled.

Albus smiled, "Are you jealous?" he asked waiting to see the other ones response.

"No, I was just wondering." Albus could tell that Scorpius was lying, it was written all over his face. "So, have you done something like this with any guys?" he asked motioning at the room.

"Don't worry, I have never done something like this before. In fact my first kiss was with you that night when I was drunk." Scorpius's reaction was immediate, his pout turned into a smirk. 'Someone's proud of himself,' Albus thought with a smile. All Albus wanted to do was kiss that smile...so he did.

Albus bent down to Scorpius's face and attacked Scorpius's mouth. Albus loved the feeling of those lips, they were always so soft and inviting. Scorpius was surprised that right after accusing Albus he was kissing him but he liked it. Albus deepened the kiss even further, running his tongue along Scorpius's lips asking for entrance. Scorpius opened his mouth only slightly but that was more then enough for Albus to claim every inch of that heavenly mouth.

Before Scorpius realized what was happened he was on his back and Albus was on top of him. He loved the heat that was radiating between their bodies but something was wrong. He nearly jumped when he felt his shirt slowly being lifted up and Albus' hands going across his chest.

This was going too fast, kissing was okay but he couldn't go this far! Scorpius shoved Albus as hard as he could, sending the other boy tumbling back. "S-sorry," he mumbled trying to catch his breath.

"N-no, it's my fault," he said also trying to catch his breath. Scorpius slowly stood up, maybe now was a good time to end the date. "Hey, don't leave! I promise no more of that," Albus said grabbing Scorpius's arm. Scorpius stopped figuring that he could just say something about homework. But as soon as he saw Albus' face there was no way he could just leave him like that.

"Okay," he said sitting back down, resting against Albus' chest. Scorpius smiled when he felt Albus running his fingers through his hair. It was such a nice feeling, so relaxing. His eyes were slowly starting to close when he remembered something. "Hey! I never asked! What is you favorite food?" he asked looking back at Albus.

Albus laughed at the pure randomness from Scorpius's question. "It would have to be my Grandma's home-made baked mince pies and some pumpkin juice! That is almost always Christmas dinner at my house," he laughed.

"Huh, I never would have thought of that," Scorpius said thoughtfully. It was true, at his house they never had food like that. They always had servants to make all the food.

"Don't you have something that your mom makes that's just the best?" Albus asked surprised.

"No, we have servants for that," Scorpius laughed. The very image of his mother in the kitchen was hysterical. She was good at plenty of things but cooking was not one of them.

"Then you're going to have to come over to my house some time! You have not tasted amazing food until you try my grandma's cooking." Scorpius turned back and gave him a look. "We don't have to say we are like this," he motioned to the two of them, "I can just say we were partners in potion and became friends."

"Yeah, and no one would question that?"

"The only one that might figure out I'm lying is Rose, but give her a book and she wouldn't notice the sky falling." Scorpius laughed, it was true that the Ravenclaw was a little absent-minded when she had a book.

The two fell into a comfortable silence. Albus was running his fingers through Scorpius's hair and Scorpius was staring into the fire. In less then half an hour Scorpius was asleep against Albus' chest. Albus smiled as he leaned against the pillow even more, he would wake Scorpius up in a little while.

Scorpius slowly opened his eyes, he could feel someone was shaking him. But it was still dark, who would be trying to wake him up now? "Hey Scorpius, you should wake up," Albus whispered into his ear.

"Huh?" he asked groggily slowly sitting up.

"You fell asleep and I guess so did I, we should head back to the dorms," Albus said shifting from under Scorpius who was still lying against him.

"Why?" Scorpius mumbled moving to lay back against Albus.

"Do you want to explain to your friends why you were out all night?" Albus asked already knowing the answer.

"Oh crap! Mordred and Adair will ask way too many questions," he cried finally sitting up.

"Don't worry, it is only about 11, you should be able to explain that, right?"

"Not well enough to make those two shut up," he mumbled to himself standing up.

"I'm sorry for keeping you out so late, but I had fun," Albus laughed pecking Scorpius on the cheek. Scorpius grabbed Albus' neck and shoved him into a real kiss. "What was that?" Albus asked when they finally broke apart.

"If you're going to give me a goodnight kiss, you should actually kiss me," Scorpius shrugged before walking out of the door leaving Albus to stand there shocked. After standing there for a few seconds Albus just smiled, he was going to have fun with their second date.

Scorpius sat down at the table next to Adair and Mordred. Ivy had started eating at the Gryffindor table next to Lorcan, with his friends. She was still pissed at Adair and that anger had leaked over to Mordred and Scorpius.

"So where were you last night?" Mordred asked as soon as he sat down.

"Yeah, you came in pretty late last night, if I didn't know better I would have thought you were with a girl." A thought crossed Scorpius's mind, maybe that could be the perfect excuse. No, then they would want to know who it was and there was no good answer to that question.

"I was just down in the common room finishing some homework. I didn't realize how late it had gotten." Mordred looked at his friend. He knew that wasn't true, he had been in the common room until past 11 and Scorpius had not been there. Scorpius had never lied this much before, what the hell was going on?

Scorpius looked over at Mordred to see a strange look. It almost looked...accusing. He turned back to his breakfast ignoring it, if Mordred knew something was up he would keep it to himself.

Scorpius rested his head against Albus' chest. Coming to the seventh floor and going to the room across from the tapestry of Barnaby had started to become a weekly ritual for the two. It was the only time they could see each other.

"The next trip to Hogsmeade is tomorrow," Albus said thoughtfully as he ran his fingers through Scorpius' hair. Scorpius raised his eyebrows wondering where the other guy was going with this. Albus noticed the look and smiled, "I was just thinking how fun it would be if we could go on a date tomorrow."

"Albus!"

"I know. I know. I never thought we could actually do it, it is just something fun to think about," Albus laughed patting his boyfriend's chest. "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Scorpius asked, his eyes darkening.

"I'm sure I could get some polyjuice potion...just what girl's hair would I borrow...Ivy's! Then..."

"No!" Scorpius growled interrupting Albus' scheme.

"Why?" Albus asked, the hurt obvious in his voice. "You don't want to go out with me in public even if no one else can recognize me?"

"No, that's not it! The thought of kissing Ivy's face, even if it is you, is just weird! I don't want to do it!" Scorpius was surprised to hear Albus laughing, he was not expecting that reaction. "What's so funny?" he asked rolling over so that he was facing Albus.

"Nothing, I just never realized how sweet you are," he smiled before kissing Scorpius on the lips. Scorpius smiled after they had pulled away. He had fallen in love with the feel of those lips. This was the first time he understood why couples stood in the hallways doing this all the time. "What's with the goofy grin?" Albus asked running his fingers across Scorpius' lips.

"I was just thinking about the two of us making out in the hallways like the other couples do," Scorpius admitted.

"I have no problem with that idea! Wanna go do it now?" Albus laughed motioning to stand up.

Scorpius growled as he pulled Albus back down, "Get back here you git!" Albus laughed as he fell down on top of Scorpius. "Hey, get off!"

"Nope, I like it like this," Albus smirked as he snuggled even closer to Scorpius. Scorpius sighed with fake annoyance, Albus could really be like a child sometimes. He smiled as he started running his fingers through Albus' head like Albus always did to him. Albus smiled up at Scorpius before closing his eyes. Scorpius took that chance to kiss Albus on the lips, surprising the other boy. "I could get way too used to this," Albus laughed before pulling Scorpius down for another kiss. Scorpius could only agree.
