Strange Bedfellows

By the time the two had made it to Albus's bedroom they had the finer points of their night all worked out. In order to start on fair footing Scorpius would be allowed to top the first time without any attempt on Albus's part to take over. After that they would both make sure they were good and stretched and then it was anyone's game. Whoever topped the most times in the hours before they had to head to the Great Hall for breakfast was the winner, no arguments or excuses. And finally, whoever was the winner would receive a very special reward, which was a blow job from the loser in said loser's office so that the man in question would have to remember they'd lost every time they were in said office. Aka for the rest of their teaching careers or until they wimped out and requested a new one.

Having no body issues whatsoever Albus stripped down as soon as they were inside his bedroom, taking pleasure in the way Scorpius watched him rather than follow suit. That was just fine with him, the Gryffindor thought with a smile as he moved in and reaching out began to very slowly undo the buttons on the other man's shirt. He loved stripping the clothing off his lovers, especially the first time when every inch of flesh was new to him, yet to be touched and tasted. And while this wouldn't be the first time they got naked together, it sort of was because they hadn't been in the right frame of mind to appreciate each other's bodies as anything other than the means to an orgasm.

And besides, the longer this took the more time Albus figured he had to get his mind around the fact that he was actually going to let Scorpius Malfoy take his ass's virginity. He'd never been attracted to men who were tops, it was as simple as that. And while he'd fingered his own ass to see what it was like that was all the action it had ever seen or thought it would. But in the heat of the moment they'd both sworn to follow through with this and for better or for worse their inability to back down was something they had in common.

In the end he was a man of his word, and as he finished undoing Scorpius's trousers, letting them fall to the ground, Albus eyes conveyed the fact that he was going to take whatever the Slytherin could dish out. Though the fact that the blond was currently going commando distracted Albus for longer than it should have, he had to admit, his eyes lingering there not out of worry but actual interest. In fact, they were both eyeing each other with enough heat that they didn't doubt that it didn't matter which one of them was in the driver's seat so to speak. Sometimes the chemistry was just so hot there was no way you could fuck it up and this was definitely the case here.

Allowing himself to be pushed onto his bed Albus stretched out on it like he was one of their pets, flexing and putting his muscles on display as he did so before tucking his hands under his head. He wasn't good at giving the reins over and the more he kept his hands to himself the better. Though it was going to be harder than he was going to be to keep his hands where they were, Albus had to admit as Scorpius climbed on top of him.

Resting his weight on his knees Scorpius ran his hands up the length of Albus's arms until they reached the unruly black hair he would mess up even more shortly. "Thinking to make me do all the work, Potter?"

Moving his lower half like a wave Albus rubbed their bodies for the briefest of moments before assuring Scorpius that he'd take over if the Slytherin felt he couldn't top him properly without help.

"Potters. Always needing to be put in their place."

Opening his mouth to point out that this was his place, Albus never got the words out as his mouth became very occupied trying to keep up with the other set of lips that were currently devouring his own. Which was just fine with him, the Gryffindor thought with an appreciative moan, because the things this Slytherin could do with his tongue gave way more pleasure than trading zingers with him. In fact, from now on they should really do this for hours instead of fighting. They'd be happy and their fellow teachers would never have to worry about them killing each other ever again. This was totally worth keeping Malfoy alive for.

Thinking along the same lines Scorpius was only sorry they hadn't thought of this sooner. What better way to shut Potter up than snog the hell out of him? Not only did it render the other man incapable of saying much of anything, but the sounds the Gryffindor was making were ones he could definitely listen to all day long. Noisy in the best possible way, Scorpius thought smugly as the man in question actually whimpered when he raised his head, ending the latest series of kisses.

He was only getting started though, Scorpius turning his attention to Albus throat and then further down the Gryffindor's body without using his hands unless he needed to brace his weight with them. If Potter was going to take his hands out of the equation than he was going to do the exact same thing despite the very real and demanding craving to put his hands on every inch of the other man's body. Twice.

Before they hadn't bothered much in terms of foreplay, too pissed to think beyond the end goal, and while Scorpius was certainly tempted to use his mouth to turn the idiot beneath him into a pile of hormonal goo, he knew that stamina was going to be very important and had to be considered. Potter was in better physical shape than him, so weakening him this way was a good plan, but could backfire in terms of the time it would take to do it right. Not to mention the fact that the Gryffindor might decide to return the favor and if he ended up goo too and passed out than Potter would win.

Aware that Scorpius's full attention wasn't on his body, which was just a little insulting, Albus's licked his lips to savor the taste of the Slytherin before deliberately getting the blond's head back in the game. So to speak. "If you need step by step instructions on how to top a real man I suppose I could help you out. Or I could top and show you how it's done, Malfoy."

"I wouldn't have taken you for the dirt talking type, Potter." Scorpius commented as he swirled his tongue around the man's belly button in retaliation for the insinuation.

Taking that as a challenge, plus he wanted to be able to take over as soon as possible, Albus looked down the length of my body to meet Scorpius's eyes and began to tell the Slytherin exactly what he planned to do to the man once all bets were off. Namely the fact that he found Scorpius's pale skin so damn tempting that he was planning to tie the man to his headboard and then nibble and suck that beautiful white flesh until Scorpius's body looked like a leopard from the neck down to mid thigh. Scorpius wouldn't be able to move without feeling the bruises, or remembering how they'd gotten there. And in particular he couldn't wait to get his mouth on the man's arse, though he'd be using something else entirely to leave a lasting ache deep inside Scorpius's pretty little rear where only he'd touched and fucked.

"The sooner you let me take over." Albus added evilly, "The sooner that happens."

"Or the sooner I shag you into this bed until you're too tired to do any of that." Scorpius shot back, not about to admit for one minute the affect the man's words had had on him. "Now get the damn slick out, Potter."

Retrieving the bottle of lubricant as ordered, Abus handed it over with much ceremony before lying back down on the bed with an expectant look on his face. Thank Merlin years in the public eye had given him a decent poker face, plus the lift fucking with Scorpius's head had given him. It made him less nervous.

Setting aside the bottle for a moment Scorpius grabbed one of the pillows and with some maneuvering shoved it under Albus's back for some support, the Gryffindor so surprised by the consideration that he actually relaxed a little as he watched Scorpius turn his attention to applying the lubricant to his fingers. He tensed up again when he was ordered to spread his legs, even though he knew tensing up was the last thing he should do.

Doing as ordered Albus opened his legs and did his best to control his breathing and relax his body as Scorpius's fingers started to stretch him open, moving his hands from behind his head to the blankets beneath him, clawing at the material before fisting as he did his best to get used to the intrusion.

Knowing that he was the first Scorpius made an effort to go slow, not an easy thing given how hot and bothered he'd been before Albus started reacting to the two fingers he'd managed to work inside the man, the moans and bit off gasps damn sexy. In the hopes of loosening him up quicker Scorpius used his other hand to start jerking the Gryffindor off, distracting Albus from what he was doing.

Scorpius's plan worked pretty well, to the point where Albus had to demand that the Slytherin fuck him instead of toying with him. And thankfully, for once, Scorpius was willing to listen to him and gave them both what they wanted, though Albus cursed a mean streak for the first minute or two until he adjusted to having Scorpius's cock buried deep inside him.

But once Albus adapted to the very new sensations and position, well then the fun started as they learned what the other liked and how best to drive the other crazy with passion, so that they were both mindless to even their desire to drive the other over the edge first which was practically second nature to them. All that mattered was keeping their bodies entwined and connected, the sweat running down their bodies and the need to climax making that very difficult.

Coming first Albus tightened around Scorpius like a vise, Scorpius continuing to shag him through his climax for as long as he could before coming too, both collapsing into a sweaty heap after that while they tried to recover and remember that they couldn't just go to sleep and call it a night.

Things were just getting started after all.

)

Opening his eyes the next morning, lips already curved in a pleased little smile, Scorpius stared up at the ceiling and then turned his head toward the clock that sat on the nearby bedside table, reading the time before shifting his attention to the man still passed out on the pillow beside his. Scorpius wasn't surprised to see that Potter was still dead to the world, frankly he was surprised he'd woken up at his normal time instead of sleeping in for once given how little sleep he'd gotten the night before. Still, he couldn't remember the last time he'd woken up feeling this good and used, and could most definitely get used to it.

The fact that he'd lost didn't even bother him, which was not a thought that most Malfoys, least of all him, were comfortable with having. But at the moment he didn't see how hours of amazing, constant sex could possibly be a bad thing even if he had been on the bottom for much of it.

Content to wallow in bed and consider the future for a bit, Scorpius could have done without the annoyingly loud alarm clock that went off twenty minutes later and startled the hell out of him. Not really all that surprising though, since this Potter was known to sleep like the dead. Turning it off automatically Scorpius watched the Gryffindor wake up very slowly, amused at the way the man's eyes went bigger and bigger as he became aware of who was in bed beside him.

"Uhm…hi?"

"Morning."

Not knowing what else to say Albus sat up and scrubbed his hands over his face, trying to wake up faster since Scorpius had actually hung around this time. He hadn't been expecting that, though he hadn't exactly been thinking clearly either.

"So I've been thinking, Potter…"

"That's usually not a good thing." Not to mention it was too early in the morning for him to think clearly, especially without caffeine and a hot shower first. "And if this is where you demand a rematch…well I'd be open to discussing that after breakfast." He was pretty sure he'd win again after all, and more sex of last night's variety was more than welcome. But he needed to be able to think when he made any deals with this man, he knew that much.

Ignoring the suspicious looks he was getting, he'd be insulted if the Gryffindor hadn't thought he needed to be cautious, Scorpius continued from where he'd left off. "I think you and I should take advantage of the fact that we're currently living across from each other and single."

Tired as he was, Albus could only think of one way they could take advantage of their current living arrangements. "You want to be…friends with benefits doesn't work, nor does enemies…neighbors with benefits?"

"If you like. I'm willing to be flexible when it comes to positions."

"You are surprisingly flexible." Albus agreed, not knowing what else to say as he tried to process the rest of it. "You're serious?"

"Would I suggest it if I wasn't?"

"Slytherin humor usually only makes sense to other Slytherins." Albus pointed out dryly. Shoving aside the covers he got off the bed and walked around it with a great deal of stretching and yawning. Coming around to Scorpius's side of the bed Albus gave him a questioning look. "No deals until after I've showered and eaten…but I'm willing to hear more of the details if you want to have said shower with me."

He couldn't argue that they both needed one, Scorpius pushing aside the covers and moving to get out as well while pointedly ignoring the hand the Gryffindor was offering him. But the movements made the oddly pleasant ache in his ass decided unpleasant, making him rethink the whole joining the man in the shower thing. Even if Albus left his arse alone…yeah, probably not the best idea.

Grinning evilly, he could always blame it on not being completely awake later, Albus leaned down and before Scorpius could realize what he intended to do Albus scooped the other man up and into his arms, ignoring the insults and dire threats thrown in his direction as he headed for the shower.

"The hot water will do you good."

"DAMMIT, POTTER!"

)

Much more awake and only a little annoyed with Potter a short time later, the man really knew how to use his hands, Scorpius let himself into his rooms and headed straight for his bedroom so that he could get into clean clothes before heading for breakfast. Getting dressed quickly, there wasn't much time, Scorpius dealt with the necessities and then headed for the parlor to find out why the hell his silly pet hadn't ambushed him yet. Not that he cared, really, but Potter had reminded him to check on the fuzzball before he'd left and since he wanted the Gryffindor in his bed he didn't see the harm in humoring him.

Stubbornly ignoring the fact that he wasn't entirely steady on his feet just yet, Scorpius walked over to the cat bed while stifling a yawn with his hand, absently noting that the feline had enough water and food in its dishes currently. And then looking down into the bed Scorpius got quite the surprise, the Slytherin's eyebrows rising in reaction to the unexpected visual.

"Seriously?" Staring at the kneazle curled up in Snow's cat bed, the cat is question lying in the almost circle Albus's pet had made with its body, Scorpius had to remind himself that his own animal wasn't old enough for sex and even if he wasn't kneazle cats weren't gay. Were they? Because that would just be horribly ironic given where he'd just come from.

Either way he supposed that he should just be grateful that Yue had decided to bunk here instead of annoying him and Albus with his presence. And as though he could hear what Scorpius was thinking Yue's eyes opened in a startling flash to meet his, the look in them suggesting that he wasn't terrible pleased to see the Slytherin so early in the morning.

"You're the one who's trespassing."

A low hiss greeted that statement, Yue getting to his feet before hopping out of the basket to face Scorpius more directly. The lack of the bigger cat cause Snow to wake up while the two had their little staring contest, the feline making a sad sound when he realized Yue was no longer with him, though the next noise to come out was one of happy glee to see that not only was his bestest friend in the whole wide world was still here, but his person was back too!

Getting out of the basket with half the amount of grace Yue had shown doing the same thing, Snow rubbed himself against the embarrassed Yue in a loving hello before hurrying over to do the same to his equally embarrassed Slytherin.

Together the two were embarrassed of Snow' behalf as the furball danced around them as he told them how thrilled he was that they were there.
