Al's stomach was doing summersaults inside him, as he caught sight of Scorpius's blonde hair that was being wonderfully complimented by the light of the moon. He could see his breath in front of him however it felt refreshing being in the cold air as the hospital wing had felt more like a sauna. Al tapped Scorpius's shoulder lightly causing him to jump up off the grass.
"you startled me," Scorpius said with a half-smile.
"I do apologies," Al replied sticking out his tongue, Scorpius began to walk drifting away from the lake, he carried himself so gracefully unlike Al who sort slumped behind him.
"Are we going somewhere?" Al inquired as he assumed they'd be staying by the lake, a smirk found its way around Scorpius's face.
"I thought we'd take a trip into the forbidden forest my good friend, you know for old times sakes?" when Albus and Scorpius were in there second year they used to sneak out of the castle during the night and roam about the forest for hours talking and playing, this stopped when Hagrid caught them leaving and gave Al a right earful, he made sure that he was aware that if it happened again he would write to both their parents, they didn't chance this so they obeyed Hagrid's wish and did not return.
"Feeling a little rebellious?" Al asked grinning at the blonde.
"Something like that," he replied as they entered the mouth of the forest.
The forbidden forest was of course dangerous, but it was beautiful sometimes Scorpius thought it was his favorite place in the entire world. "Look Al, what I shared with you earlier that stays between me and you, yeah?" Scorpius stated there was a twinge of pain is grey eyes that glistened silvery in the night, Al nodded he would never have shared that information with anyone even if Scorpius hadn't of asked.
The air was cold as the two boys walked deeper into the dark forest, the only light being from the moon. Scorpius slowed his pace so that he and Al walked side by side.
"So how you feeling now? No more bumps and bruises?" he asked, turning his face slightly to Al and studying his face quickly.
"Nope 100% in working condition" Al smiled meeting Scorpius eyes, the two shared a moment of silence "Why are you staring at me?" Al went on, feeling like Scorpius was undressing him while they walked on the leaf covered ground. Scorpius smirked.
"The I guess I wont need to be your nurse anymore" Scorpius smirked while lifting one eyebrow and continuing to keep eye contact with Al "And your eyes suit the darkness it seems" Al's face screwed up somewhat confused and was about to answer when Scorpius continued "I mean, obviously not black darkness because I wouldn't be able to see, but this darkness caused by the trees hiding the moon from us, therefore only allowing a glow of light. It makes them look.." Scorpius paused searching for a word to use in order to describe Al's eyes without seeming stupid "Haunted" He blunted out with a smirk and sat down at the base of a tall tree, the trunk saving them from the wind that seemed to be picking up as time passed.
"I look possessed?" Al asked laughing slightly to himself, Scorpius shot him a look that Al couldn't explain but it made his heart skip a beat.
"You know what I mean. Now come and sit" Scorpius patted the ground beside him and reached, beside him lifting a small black bag that seemed to have been placed there earlier before. He reached inside and grabbed a small cupcake; covered with green icing, just the shade to match their house, "I have decided with will celebrate" Scorpius smiled, placing a small sliver candle into the cupcake that rested in the palm of his hand.
"Celebrate what?" Al answered laying his head back on the tree and looking deep into Scorpius eyes as he lit the candle. The candle light, although small eliminated his sharp features. The grey in his eyes seemed to move like clouds around his iris. Scorpius looked up, taking his concentration from the candle, and smiled.
"Us" he answered, with an almost flirtatious tone to his voice. Al felt his face heating up on his cheeks "Becoming friends again" he went on laying his head back on the tree to meet Albus. Albus could tell by the tone his voice that it wasn't just the idea of being friends.
Scorpius felt an urge inside him to run his fingers through Al's hair as he lay up against the tree, his neck slight resting to right as he spoke to him. He moved closer to Al and rested his leg next to his, the material of their clothes touching and he breathed deeply, slightly closing his eyes. It was moments when they were like this and so close that Scorpius found kept him up late at night, or in his dreams where things would progress on from just lightly touch through clothes.
"Aww ok" Al smiled feeling his heart speeding up, he's so close, he thought to himself. Al could smell Scorpius's skin, it smelt of vanilla and Chocolate, it must be the bottle of shower gel that Scorpius gets sent to him from home every month. Scorpius noticed Al taking a small sniff in his direction and smirked.
"If you really like the smell of me that much Al, maybe I could use some of my shower gel on you next time" Scorpius winked and him, Al's eyes growing wide and his groan stiffening "To us" Scorpius said putting his lips into the perfect O shape, Al watching the entire time, and blowing out the candle that had began melting, leaving small droplets of sliver wax on Scorpius pale smooth hand.
More than an hour had to have passed, the forest seemed to be growing darker at a steady pace, and strange howling sounds surrounded them as they lay on their backs looking up at the moon.
"Do you reckon there's werewolves?" Al asked trying to sound unfazed, Scorpius suppressed as laugh.
"Scared Potter?" he said his grey eyes were so close to Al's green ones that he could see how his iris was a slightly darker grey than the rest of his eyes.
"You wish," Al replied weakly feeling Scorpius's nose against his, his heart pounded so fast he thought it was going to emerge from his chest. Al turned his face away from Scorpius and looked up at the moon trying to conceal his heavy breathing as he felt as though he would pass out at any moment. Scorpius raised his upper body slightly and leaned over Al using is hands for support against the mucky ground, he didn't even seem to give what he was doing a second thought he leaned in and kissed him hard on the lips, Albus responded enthusiastically, reaching up to run his fingers threw Scorpius's hair, nothing else in the world was real only him at that moment, the thought of werewolves, vampires or anything that made this forest forbidden was completely irrelevant. Scorpius seemed to collapse onto Al without breaking the kiss, Scorpius's mouth seemed to be taking complete possession of Al's and he could still taste the sweet cupcake off his tongue. The two boys seemed to have entered utopia as their tongues wrestled with one another's until Scorpius pulled away dragging Al's lip forward with his teeth, holding it for a moment before realizing it. Scorpius sat up, though Al remained on the ground he grinned up at Scorpius, "What was that for?".
Scorpius just rolled over and breathed out.
"Just because I wanted to" he smirked looking deep into Al's eyes, Scorpius could feel his groan tighten against his jeans and shifted his weight to try and conceal it, it was to quick to be thinking like that just yet, he thought to himself "You enjoyed it so don't question it" he said slyly. Al eyes moved over Scorpius body with excitement but thought to play a little before giving all his secrets up to Scorpius.
"How do you know? You didn't even ask?" he answer Scorpius coolly and looking away towards the edge of the forest. Scorpius face dropped but quickly returned to the sexy smirk that sent overwhelming lust run through Albus.
"You didn't seem to be complaining, in fact I'm more than sure I heard you groan a little with displeasure when I pulled away" his eyes twinkled with mischief and he stood up brushing himself off and putting a hand out for Albus "Now come Potter" he said, Albus reached up and grabbed Scorpius's hand.
"Back to last names then?" Al laughed about to remove his hand, but noticing that Scorpius has intertwined his their fingers, he let his hand relaxed and the two began walking back to the castle.
"Only in time's of great ecstasy" Scorpius answered sending Al's heart racing with joy, he must have felt the spark to. Well of course he did or he wouldn't have kissed him in the first place, Al though to himself.
"It's a cool night" Scorpius said more to himself that anyone else, Al could see the goose bumps rising on his skin and felt his hands beginning to shake, but he wasn't so sure that was from the cold.
"Do you want my jacket?' Al asked as they reached the edge of the forest and out on to the ground that were lit with the light of the moon, it was almost blinding they had been in the dark for that long.
"No, you need it more than I do Al" Scorpius smirked and pulled Al towards him, planting a light kiss on his lips and smiling, not smirking, smiling. The smile seemed to have more of an effect of Al than Scorpius's sexy smirk ever had and he found himself going red in the cheeks. Al and Scorpius entered the castle and went straight to the common room with a few passing conversations about Quidditch and how Scorpius believed he should be a nude model in witch weekly, which made Al angry to think he wanted women to look at his naked body. Once they arrived at the dormitories they sat on the same leather coach where they had re-started their friendship.
"I have an idea" Scorpius said with a wink everyone had retreated to bed leaving the two of them alone, "I have some Fire whiskey, we are going to get drunk" he went on while standing up and running to his trunk up stairs, Albus barely had time to answer before Scorpius arrived back down beside him with two tumblers and a filled bottle of fire whiskey. Al took a glass and smiled at Scorpius who opened the bottle and filled both their glasses.
Albus felt the hot liquid flow down his throat and rest in his stomach, making him even warmer than the heat of the common room already made him.
"Wow that's good" Al said smiling and offering his glass for another cup.
"You trying to get drunk?" Scorpius laughed and emptied his glass, keeping up Al.
"Maybe" Al said seductively "Are you going to empty your glass every time I finish mine?" he went on taking a sip this time from his glass. Scorpius lifted his eyebrow and smirked.
"Fun things happen when people are drunk" He winked, this made Al's stomach flutter and choked a little on his drink.
A few minutes past and the boys talked about the night they had just shared and how fun it had been, the cupcake being one of the main points of conversation.
"You Al, for a boy you've got pretty sof-" Scorpius started but was cut off by the sound of giggles coming from the common room door, Scorpius looked at the time and then back to the door and Cassie stumbled in with her "Gang" all of which had obviously also been drinking.
"SCORPIUS" She shouted slurring her words and running over to him, planting a kiss on his mouth before he could react quickly enough to move away, he pushed her off and wiped his mouth, washing it out with what whiskey he had left in his cup. The girls stood on the other side of the room "ooooohing" loudly and Al's face was like thunder.
"I'm so excited for next week" she winked "We are going to have so much fun" she made a gesture that Scorpius didn't really understand but he imagined that this girl was going to force herself on him and he sighed.
"What's next weekend?" He questioned turning to Al with a confused looking, Al never met his eyes and instead poured himself another glass of fire whiskey, throwing it back into his mouth and he shook his head.
"Why Hogsmeade silly!" she explained finding it hard to stand "You and me are going on a date" she leaned in to kiss him again and he placed a hand in front of her face.
"Go to bed, your embarrassing me" he spat, his face screwed up in disgust. Cassie looked confused but quickly started giggling again while walking over to her friends whose faces were full of shock.
"He doesn't want to see me look so vulnerable" she blew Scorpius a kiss and walked up the stairs to her room. Al grunted.
"I forgot about next week" he stood up and stretched "I have to take Pandora" he almost looked guilty and Scorpius face wasn't a pleasant sight.
"I, myself forgot about the adventures of next week and the arrangements we had made" he threw the glass on the table and followed Al up the stairs, their mood obviously ruined by the drunken fool of a girl. Both boys reached their beds and changed not meeting glances. Al quietly climbed into bed and took off his glasses without a word to Scorpius, who himself was getting ready for bed quietly.
"Night Scorpius" He said in the darkness expected a grunt back as Scorpius would be climbing into bed, but he was surprised when Scorpius appeared on top him meeting his lips forcibly, his tongue begging for entrance into Al's mouth, his mouth of course gleefully allowing it to. They kissed for what seemed like forever, their fingers tangled into each other hairs before Scorpius pulled away and stood up.
"You didn't think I would let something as foolish as young girls ruin my perfectly planned evening did you?" Al was unable to answer, "Good night Al" Scorpius said finally rolling over into his bed and falling into sleep, Al followed closely behind and the dreams that both boys enjoyed that night were like the stories from witch weekly only, they were only for them to share.
