Chapter 2: M or O
Hugo had his eyes scrunched up, wishing, hoping that he had mistaken the voices. That it really wasn't his sister Rose in the infirmary, or his crush. The crush that decided to date his older sister. It couldn't be, the universe just wouldn't be that cruel.
"Madam Pomfrey, is he going to be all right?"
Well, that brought down his hopes considerably. In fact, they crashed, burned and the charry remains were crushed into smithereens that were swept into the unseen plains, never to be heard of again.
"Ms. Weasley, Mr. Malfoy, he will be just fine. But he needs his rest, so I must ask you to leave. You may come back after classes are finished."
"But he looks like he's in pain! And he has yet to open his eyes and say hello!" Rose's voice shrilled uncomfortable high to people's(a.k.a. Hugo's) tender ears.
Hugo really couldn't help but wince, her voice was horrible at times, especially in cases where she was upset or under a lot of stress. He liked to compare it to nails on a chalk board, though his mother would smack him if he ever said anything of the sort within her range of hearing, which was surprisingly far and should be impossible.
"Well dear, he was just horribly ill, throwing up all over the place. I am certain that if this had been you, you wouldn't be happy with visitors, now would you?"
The was silence after that, it was enough to make Hugo want to peek as see what Rose's face looked like.
"Of course not. Huie, if you can hear me. I'm sorry. We'll be back later." Rose murmured and Hugo heard the rustle of her cloak as she walked away.
"I hope you feel better soon, Hugo." Scorpius' voice came surprisingly close from his right. A soft touch on his arm almost had Hugo sit up in shock.
Scorpius had touched his arm! Hugo opened his eyes a sliver and watched as Scorpius walked away and out the door. Once the infirmary was empty except for him and Madam Pomfrey, Hugo opened his eyes completely and looked around.
Madam Pomfrey caught his eye and smiled.
"Get some rest Mr. Weasley."
"Yes ma'am." Hugo replied with a nod. She left and Hugo closed his eyes once more, sure that he wouldn't be able to fall asleep. That wasn't the case.
"Hugo, are you feeling alright?" Lorcan's voice drifted into Hugo's sleepy haze.
Hugo must have been asleep for a bit because the in the room was different from the early morning sunlight.
"Lorcan? What are you doing here? What time is it?" Hugo asked as he sat up and rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes.
"It's around six, how long were you out?" Lorcan replied, sitting on the foot of Hugo's bed, before laying down completely on his stomach, with his head in his hands.
"Probably since nine. Is Lysander here too?" Hugo asked peering over Lorcan's shoulder.
"No, he's trying to get Rose to notice him. It seems like his little crush on her has only gotten stronger." Lorcan replied stretching out his back, the little pops were loud enough for Hugo to hear.
"Hasn't he been like that since Rose got together with Scorpius?" Hugo asked his breath hitching a little.
"Hugo, if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times. Just because they have hung around each other a little more than normal, does not meant that they're going out." Lorcan stated.
"Then what other possible reason could be that they're hanging out together so much, and all of a sudden? The only explanation is that they got together." Hugo sighed a little sadly. Then he remembered that Scorpius had brushed against his arm, and his face bloomed into a deep red color.
Lorcan raised an eyebrow, interest shining through his eyes. "There's something you aren't telling your best friend, isn't there? Do tell."
"Well, Scorpius was here earlier…" The bed sheets were extremely interesting while Hugo said this.
"But?" Lorcan asking knowing the answer but waiting for Hugo to confirm his thoughts.
"Rosie was here with him." Hugo sighed sadly.
"Were they kissing? Were they touching? Did they tell you that they were officially together?" Lorcan asked, knowing the answer to this as well. He knew his friend, they were as close as he was to his twin. And knowing Hugo as well as he did his brother, Lorcan knew that Hugo was prone to thinking the worst possible thing was the truth, instead of thinking things through the logical way. He was only like that with people though, with other things, Hugo was a genius and usually went the right path.
"No but-"
"Then don't take it like a kick in the-"
"Hugo!" Lorcan was interrupted by Rose barging through the infirmary doors and screaming for Hugo.
"Rose, you really shouldn't have done that…" Scorpius trailed in after her, with Lysander just behind him.
"What in the world is going on in here?" Madam Pomfrey demanded as she came out of her office.
"I'm sorry, I used a bit too much force on the door. I really didn't mean to do it." rose grimaced. "I just came to see my little brother."
"You'd better learn to control that strength Ms. Weasley. You'll end up hurting someone if you keep that up. If I hear any more ruckus from you, I will ban you from the infirmary. There are sick students located here, as you well know." With that, she turned on her heel and went back into her office, keeping the door open as a warning to Rose.
Rose walked over to Hugo's bed and sat down on the unoccupied side. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine, Rose, really. You didn't have to come, I'll be out in a little bit." Hugo murmured, his eyes constantly straying over to Scorpius whom had walked over to his other side, closer than Lorcan was.
Scorpius' face was so kissable, why couldn't he just be his? Why did they have to come together? It just made hurt heart ache when they were together… He should have woken up sooner, then he would have been able to avoid seeing them together.
Earth to Hugo. Hugo, you there?" Lorcan asked, snapping his fingers repeatedly in front of his best friends face.
"What?" Hugo blinked at him in confusion.
"Where'd you go?" Lorcan teased, still in his spot on the bed.
"Sorry." Hugo whispered, his face burning again.
"Are you sure that you're alright?" Scorpius asked, making Hugo stare at him again.
Hugo nodded again, not able to respond to Scorpius' concern. The only things that flashed through his mind was taking that shirt off of Scorpius and doing unspeakable things to him… No, he had to get his head out of the gutter. Scorpius was dating Rose, dating Rose, dating Rose!
"What is this? A family reunion? What's everyone doing here?" Albus' voice snapped Hugo out of his wet dream.
"No, Hugo got sick and when Scorpius, Lysander, and I got here, Lorcan was already with him. Now that we've got you cornered though Hugo, Scorpius has to tell you something." Rose stated, smiling widely.
Hugo felt his stomach smash into the floor with shock and dread. They were finally going to say it out loud, that they were dating and going get married after they leave school.
While Hugo was distracted by his thoughts, Scorpius looked immensely uncomfortable and scared.
"But, there's so many people here. Isn't it only supposed to be two?" Scorpius asked, running his hands through his blond hair, making it a bit messy.
"Of course not! Go on!" Rose stated moving off the bed and pulling Lorcan along with her so that they stood behind Scorpius and next to Lysander and Albus.
Hugo blinked up at them, not getting what was happening. Shouldn't Rose and Scorpius be talking?
Scorpius sighed, then turned to look at him with determination in his eyes.
Hugo couldn't help but stare at him with confusion, what in the wizarding world was happening? He was completely lost…
Until Scorpius closed in on him and kissed him deeply. Kissing him like he only imagined he would, kissing him even better than he ever imagined.
"I told him." Lorcan muttered a grin on his face.
"Scorpius' gay?" Albus asked a little startled.
Rose rolled her eyes. "You're just oblivious, I swear, Albus."
When Scorpius pulled away, Hugo started at him for the longest second, before passing out from a mixture of shock and happiness.
