Albus & Lucy. Cotton candy.


He was just like cotton candy. Tasting so sweet, almost awfully sweet, but the moment you tried to determine the exact flavour, it was already gone.

And the way it had started was even more sickeningly sugary. Growing up together and holding hands, sharing everything from secrets and clothes to bed, and never ever stopping.

But what gave it all the sour taste was the wrongness of it. The reminder that they were cousins, that they were wrong.

So it was their affinity she blamed when she ended it. But the real reason was that she couldn't stand the sweetness.
