A/N A bit of a short chapter, but timing is important, so...!
The Perfect Partner is your Best Friend
Albus was woken by Scorpius shoving at his shoulders. As soon as the green eyes were open, he spoke:
"I'm gay" he said seriously, then grinned at the confused expression displayed before him. "C'mon, get dressed! We need to go for breakfast"
The dark-haired boy groaned and closed his eyes as a pile of robes landed on his face. Albus was not a morning person. Nevertheless, he dressed himself and went with Scorpius to breakfast.
"So..."
The blonde raised his eyebrows.
"Seriously?"
"Yep."
"Oh... Who else knows?"
"My parents" he replied simply. "It was really hard telling them, but I thought they should know. Father was quite upset about it at first - had a bit of a Malfoy fit - but he eventually he got used to the idea. Going to France was his idea of an apology I think."
Albus nodded, and they sat down at the long table, as far away from Juliet as possible. The boys identified their indentical timetables, and started to eat their breakfast.
"So you don't mind? Being friends with someone who's...?"
"Nope. Not at all. I'm a little miffed that you didn't tell me earlier, but I know now."
Scorpius fell into a fit of loud laughter, catching the eyes of half the school before catching his breathe once again. His face was red and he was constantly laughing shakily for a while.
"What the hell was that?!" Albus demanded and laughed at the same time.
"Miffed! What sort of word is that anyway?!" The boys a little longer, then set off for lessons.
