AN: Hi guys! here's what you've been waiting for, Scorpius finally regretting his actions. i hope you like this one and let me know what you think. Reviews are love!
Scorpius
He had never felt worse in his whole life. He knew that was sort of a stretch because he was quite privileged. His father had managed to save the family name before he was even born, so he was never mistreated for his father's actions during the war. He had got their money back and the manor so he had had that too. His parents had split up when he was younger but they just spoiled him rotten during the whole affair so he really couldn't complain about that either. Scorpius had been a dick before and was sure that he might have done something to someone that was worse than what he did to Albus but somehow this was worse than everything else put together. It wasn't enough that he couldn't get him out of his head, the way he touched him or looked at him, he now had the fresh memory of the hurt in his face. The worst of it all is that he couldn't reason with himself anymore. While he was drunk he could perfectly say that it was the right thing and that Albus was probably on his way to fucking Blake anyway, but now he knew better. He knew Albus probably wouldn't even be able to kiss him after what he did to him.
Scorpius walked out of his room and all the way up to the great hall. He had been avoiding it all weekend but now he had exams to pass and his life to get back to. He walked in and looked at the Ravenclaw table first; he wasn't there. He looked over to the Slytherin table and saw his friends sitting on the far end, but only Tristian smiled up to him when he saw him.
"Hey guys" he said softly and sat. All three girls looked at him with the same cold face.
"Fancy seeing you here" Tristian said patting his back and going back to his food.
"Didn't feel like hiding anymore" he said and he could see Stephanie's face soften. He looked at her and wished he could tell her just how ashamed he felt. "Feels like shit" he said with a shrug which she returned.
"So you admit you fucked up at least?" Tessa asked him, he turned to look at her but she didn't look any close to being okay with him. He nodded.
"I fucked up" he said and really didn't feel much like eating.
"That's a start" Stephanie said to him with a small smile which he returned.
"Not really" Sam said not even looking at him.
"Look, I get he's your mate now, but you've been mine for years. I know you get why I do all the things I do better than me. I'm not saying that I was right, I just need a second chance" he said to her and Sam rolled her eyes at him.
"It's not like I'm not going to forgive you, it's not me to have to apologize too anyway, but I can be a bitch for a while because you deserve it" she said looking at him, picking her stuff up and leaving. He looked at her go, thinking she was probably right. He looked back at the Ravenclaw table hoping for the mop of black hair but he was still absent.
"Albus hasn't come down here once since the day of the fight. If you want to run in to him I would recommend the kitchens or the library probably" Stephanie said and Tristian nodded.
"We're meeting today and tomorrow at the library for charms" he said with a shrug. Scorpius looked at him alarmed.
"You too?" he asked puzzled.
"He's a good bloke and he's a fucking genius. I need the grades" he said and Scorpius hung his head back and closed his eyes.
"When did things get so out of control?" he asked no one in particular.
"When you let them" Tessa said. She got up from the table too and Scorpius looked after her.
"Are you going to apologize?" Stephanie asked and Scorpius shook his head.
"Do you honestly think that's going to work?" he asked her and she looked doubtful.
"It wouldn't hurt mate" Tristian said picking his things up too, "Come on, we have exams" he said and Scorpius grabbed a piece of toast and walked after him. He had potions exam today; right before lunch. Albus had to be there, but he knew he would probably finish first and leave in a haste to get away from him, but he could try. He had his care of magical creatures one and then set off for the dungeons feeling his heart beat a million miles a minute. He really had no idea what he would say to Albus, he still didn't want a relationship, but he could apologize and maybe he wouldn't hate him anymore. He tried to calm himself when he pushed the door open and walked in with Stephanie. She was good moral support. There he was sitting on the first desk right in front of the board.
"Sitting in the front?" she asked him. Scorpius thought about it for a second and when he saw a girl from Ravenclaw eyeing the desk he made a run for it. He sat on the chair and glared at her for good measure.
"Ready to make us all look bad?" he heard Tessa ask Albus. She was leaning on the desk looking down at him with a smile. He heard Albus let out a laugh and it made his heart hurt; he shook his head trying to get all that mush out of there.
"I doubt it" was all he said.
"Sam and I were thinking about sneaking out on Friday to celebrate. Want to come with?" she asked him and Scorpius scowled at himself for eavesdropping.
"Maybe, I'm supposed to meet Blake though" Albus said and Scorpius could tell he was trying to keep his voice down. He was meeting Blake. Fucking Blake Brown. He was going to kill him when he saw him. How dare he think he could just come from under him and steal Albus away? Albus Potter was his and if he thought he could just. No. Albus wasn't his; that was the whole point wasn't it? He looked sideways at him and saw him smile at Tessa and nod but he had stopped listening. He could tell he was trying his best to not look at him; his back was stiff and his whole body was directed the other way. Scorpius scowled. He never thought in a million years he would hate someone ignoring him this much. The professor walked in and started giving directions; Tessa moved to the back and Albus was left alone again. The smile left his face and he looked unblinking at their teacher. He forced himself to look away and hear what he was supposed to do but he kept looking back at him. How he got out of the desk and started getting his things ready, rolling his sleeves back and pulling his tie lose. What the fuck had he been thinking? How did he let him go?
"Mr. Malfoy" he heard and looked up to the professor's face. He was smiling curiously down at him, "Your work?" he asked and Scorpius nodded and started getting his own things ready. He was probably going to fail if he didn't get his act together. Actually, if he really got his act together he could finish early and chase Albus down or meet him in the kitchens. He smiled to himself and started working dutifully. He was more than half way through when he heard Albus call the professor and ask him to check. He wondered if he knew how obnoxious that was. He scowled down at his own potion and tried to get it done as fast as he could without fucking it up. He smiled at the result, that and the fact that Albus wasn't done picking his things up. He raised his hand and got his work checked while he started tiding up. Albus was done and he took his bag and practically ran from the dungeons.
"I'll give you ten galleons if you pick my shit up and give to Parkinson" Scorpius said to the Ravenclaw girl sitting behind him. She nodded and he winked at her with a smile, taking his bag and running out too. He didn't see Albus but he figured he was going to the kitchens so he took off in that direction. He practically ran all the way there cursing Albus and his incredible ability to escape from him. When he got to the portrait he stopped and looked at it. He could do this right? He just had to say he was wrong and that he was sorry. That was it. He stood there feeling his palms getting moist from the nerves he was feeling; he could hear his own breathing thrumming in his ears. He closed his eyes and opened them and reached for the pear, but it swung open in his direction practically slamming in his face. Albus walked out and crashed into him. He knew it was a mistake and he scared the shit out of him but it still felt nice to feel him close even if it was for one confusing second.
"Fuck, I'm sorry" Albus said and stopped himself when he looked up at his face. He stepped back immediately and he knew he was about to make a run for it from the look in his face.
"No, I'm sorry Albus" he let out and tried to look as honest as his face allowed him to.
"Don't" he said shaking his head. He looked so hurt.
"I don't know what I was thinking, but nothing happened" he started walking towards him while Albus took two steps back.
"I don't care" he said his face reversing back to cold.
"I care" Scorpius said and Albus' mask didn't waver. "I'm sorry and I was wrong and I shouldn't have made you think there was something going on because there wasn't. I just wanted you and I couldn't so did that incredibly stupid thing" he said in a rush and Albus just kept shaking his head and moving back from him.
"I don't care" he said again and Scorpius shook his head this time.
"Come on Al, just listen to me" he said reaching out to him which turned out the wrong thing to do since his hand snapped back in pain. Scorpius winced and grabbed his hand close to his chest. Albus' cold mask stayed in place though Scorpius knew he was probably hating himself for doing that. It hurt even more to know just how much Albus didn't want him to touch him.
"I told you, you don't get to do that" Albus said sternly and Scorpius dropped his hand.
"Please Albus, I'm just trying to apologize" he begged and Albus shook his head again.
"Too late" he said and turned walking away from him. Scorpius let out a sigh and his shoulders sagged leaning against the wall. If he thought he felt miserable this morning this was ten times worse; he really did hate him.
"I don't know what to do" he confessed sitting next to Stephanie in the common room that same day. She looked up from her book at her.
"Study probably, we have transfiguration tomorrow" she said and looked back down.
"I talked to him and he didn't even want to listen" he told her and she sighed and closed her book giving up.
"What did you say?" she asked him.
"I told him I was wrong and that nothing happened and that I wanted him and I don't know what else" he said and Stephanie nodded listening to him.
"I don't think Albus wants to hear the word want from you" she said and Scorpius shrugged.
"What else am I going to say?" he asked.
"Tell him you feel horrible without him, that's a start" she said and Scorpius nodded.
"He's not going to let me see him again that easily" Scorpius said leaning his head in his hand.
"He's at the library now with Tristian and Sam. You know that" she said and Scorpius nodded. He pushed off from the couch.
"Yes I do. Thanks Steph" he said and walked back out of the common room and made his way to the library. This was going to be a bit harder than the kitchens but the longer he waited the angrier Albus was going to get. He walked in and thanked Merlin Albus wasn't in the front tables and didn't see him walk in; he kept on lurking until he found him sitting all the way in the back with his two friends and an unwelcome member. Blake Brown. He was sitting across from him and smiling at Albus with that predatory smile of his that made him look all genuine. He fumed and watched as he reached his hand over to Albus' thigh and leaned closer to say something to him. The only thing that made it better was the uncomfortable look in Albus' face. Scorpius knew that if that had been him Albus would have been trying and failing not to smile at him and probably leaning closer. When Blake leaned even closer, Albus leaned back and looked around them like he thought it was completely inappropriate. But why did he do that? Why would Blake lean that close to him with that confidence if he hadn't done it before? He felt the anger in his chest escalating alarming levels as he pictured Albus running over to Blake when he saw him with Flint and making out with him against a wall. Blake and that stupid wolfish grin only supported that theory. Albus nodded at something he asked and Blake pushed off the table and walked away.
Now he had to wait for Albus to get up from the table and come looking for something. If that even happened. How could he do that? How could he kiss Blake? How far had they gotten? He knew by experience that Blake didn't put up many walls. He even knew Blake had a thing for Albus, how could he have been this stupid? He had told him when they had hooked up that he thought he was fit and that he was only going to get better. He even said he wanted to get his hands on his arse. Fuck. He looked back at the table and saw Albus getting up with a book in his hands and shaking his head. He was coming his way. Shit. Scorpius walked quickly away and tried to keep a distance between them. Albus didn't look up from the book though and seemed to be walking around on instinct alone. He reached one of the back aisles and put the book in and started looking for something else. It was now or never.
"Hey" he let out not really knowing what to say. Albus froze but didn't look his way. "I know you don't want me close so can I just talk from here and you just pretend to listen to me?" he asked and Albus lowered his arm. He still didn't look at him or say anything. Scorpius took a deep breath and tried to let go of his anger but it was close to impossible. "I've never done this before. All this with you, I don't know how it works because I wanted to be with you all the time but I didn't want you to think this was serious. I didn't know how to do it. Nothing I did with you I knew how to do. You just fucking got up and left after we had sex and I know I was wrong for pushing you, but that was hard for me too, you know?" he said trying to lower his voice but starting to get upset again. Albus turned to him, he looked angry too.
"So this is my fault is it?" he asked quietly and Scorpius shook his head.
"No it's not, but you hurt me too" Scorpius said and Albus looked taken aback, "That's new too, and then after everything I have to hear that you're going to a party with that fucking asshole. How did you think I was going to take it?" he asked him and moved a bit closer, Albus didn't step back.
"I wasn't going to go Scorpius, I was obviously going to go chasing after you like I do. I went after I saw you fucking Alexis Flint. Then I did go to the party to snog Blake" he said the last bit spitefully.
"I didn't. I just wanted you to think I did" Scorpius said the momentary hurt of hearing Albus acknowledge he had indeed kissed him turning into anger quickly. "I wanted to hurt you and I'm sorry because I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have after what I did before. But you're not sorry are you?" Scorpius asked and Albus shook his head.
"No I'm not" he said simply.
"So you really don't care anymore? You don't care that we slept together and you just left? Merlin Albus, you're more like your brother than you give yourself credit for" he said leaning back against the bookshelf and Albus looked at him furious and walked closer to him.
"You fucking forced me Scorpius. You forced me to have sex with you and then when I asked you if anything changed you said no. Was I supposed to stay there chasing after you until you were done with me? Is that what is hurting you so much? The fact that I'm not stupid enough to do that?" he asked and his magic started to get a little out of control. Nothing happened but he could feel the pressure just like he had that day with James; the one that made him uncomfortable.
"I know I didn't go about it the right way" he started and Albus laughed.
"You didn't go about the right way? You tied me up and manipulated me. Do you think that's normal or acceptable?" Albus asked and Scorpius shook his head.
"I'm sorry Albus, I don't know what more you want me to say" he said with a shrug. His shoulders sagged.
"And that right there is your problem. When things get too hard for you answer, you just don't. I need more than that so if you don't want it, leave me the fuck alone" Albus said tiredly and Scorpius saw him start to move. He grabbed his arm on reflex and prepared himself for the pain but it didn't come.
"I'm serious, I don't know what you want me say. Tell me what you want me to say so that I can make this better. I can't" Scorpius started and looked down at his feet, "I like you?" he said and it came out as a question. Albus shook his head.
"You know what it is" he said. Scorpius looked up at him, his face looked softer. He pushed into him grabbing his neck and pressing his lips on his. He felt Albus' hands on his shoulders pushing him back but his lips moved against his. He sighed and loosened his grip on his neck, Albus took the opening and pushed him back. Scorpius looked up at his face and he looked even more hurt than before, he fucked up again.
"I'm sorry" he said quietly.
"I'm starting to hate those words" Albus said looking away from him. They stood there in this loaded silence in which Scorpius knew that Albus was waiting for him to say something more and it wasn't just anything, it was everything right now. He couldn't let it out.
"Please" was the one word he got out. Albus looked back to him and shook his head.
"I'm begging you right now, Scorpius" he said looking at him the plea unmistakable in his eyes, "Please stop fucking with my head. You've been doing it for too long and you don't even have a reason for it. I can't take it anymore. Please leave me alone" he said shaking his head and then he walked away. Scorpius watched him go, that feeling in his chest intensifying until he felt he couldn't breathe anymore. He felt his eyes pricking and he shook his head at himself and practically ran out of the library. Sorry didn't solve anything and Albus was right. This wasn't fair anymore.
Albus
He was at a crossroad. On one side he really hated Scorpius right now, he was selfish and stubborn and he just couldn't take it anymore. On the other side he just wanted to go back to that moment in the library when he kissed him and wrap his arms around him rather than push him back. Was it really that bad? He was right about somethings, he hadn't even thought about it but it did seem like he had hurt Scorpius. But he hadn't considered it because it seemed so unlikely that he actually cared. He didn't care enough though. Not enough to admit he wanted to be with him. What was his fucking problem anyway?
"Something wrong?" Tristian asked him. Albus looked at him and shook his head. Then he nodded, thought about it and shook his head again.
"What is it?" Sam asked and Albus let out a sigh.
"Scorpius cornered me again" he said and they both looked surprised.
"Here?" Sam asked and Albus nodded.
"You've been with us the whole time" Tristian said and Albus shook his head.
"When I got up to find the book" he admitted and they both nodded.
"And?" Sam asked.
"I asked him to stop fucking with my head. I think he got it. Maybe" he said softly. For some reason it made him even sadder. It wasn't really for some reason it was the whole reason. Albus wanted him to fight for him and just admit that he wanted him just as much, but instead he just let him walk away.
"He'll come back" Tristian said looking back at his things.
"I doubt it" Albus said and Tristian nodded.
"Scorpius doesn't like to be told what to do. He'll be back. More so if you keep at it with the seeker" he said and shrugged, then looked up alarmed. "Don't tell him I said that" he said and Albus nodded.
"I can't use Blake, it's mean" Albus said reluctantly.
"Does he not know?" Sam asked and Albus nodded.
"He does but it like when Scorpius told me he didn't want anything serious. People don't listen" Albus said shaking his head.
"I think Blake listens" Sam said with a wink and went back to her things. It was still a bad idea, he wouldn't use someone to what? To make him jealous and he kept coming back and then not want anything from him all over again. Not thanks, no more torture for Albus. They stayed there for a while and then Albus excused himself and went to go see Blake. He had asked him before if they could talk because he had an idea but it was probably just time for him to tell him he just couldn't do this right now. So he walked to the astronomy tower and walked into the last classroom on his way there. The one he had thought about going up to hang out with Scorpius for the first time. He should have thought that through. He saw Blake working on his things on a desk in the back.
"Hey" Albus said and Blake looked up to smile at him.
"Newt prep. I can't get any work done unless I'm alone" he explained and Albus nodded.
"You wanted to talk?" he asked sitting on the desk in front of his.
"Yeah, I had an idea for you to stop acting like I'm sexual assaulting you" he said with a smile. Albus let out a laugh.
"I'm sorry about that but I have something to talk to you first" he said and Blake nodded putting his things away. "Scorpius has been present again. Asking for forgiveness" he said and Blake looked at him amazed.
"Wow, I didn't think he knew how to do that" Blake said with a laugh.
"It seems it's the only thing he know how to do with me" he said spitefully, "Anyway, I've been avoiding thinking about this whole thing but the truth is that I really do miss him and I think it's going to take more time to get over. I just don't want you to get caught up in the middle" Albus said to him and Blake nodded.
"And I can't help?" he asked and Albus looked at him confused.
"What?" he asked and Blake smiled.
"Well you told me the other day you weren't serious and I got it, not serious between us but I can help. I bet I can be an amazing rebound" he said with a wink.
"I don't understand" Albus confessed.
"You said you weren't going to have feelings for me, then I won't have them for you. I can be your mate if you want me to, but I don't think we have to stop fooling around because of that" Blake said and Albus nodded and then shook his head.
"You don't mind doing that without really wanting me?" Albus asked and Blake laughed.
"How you remained so naïve with Scorpius is a puzzle to me. I like kissing you and hopefully other things if you stop pushing me away, it's fun. We can have fun. It'll help you get your mind of him without any sort of commitment" he said like if it was that simple. Well he did make a fair point. If he didn't really want him like that then they could just fool around.
"What if Scorpius gets jealous and I kind of like that?" Albus asked and Blake smiled.
"I would kind of like that too" he said with a shrug. Albus smiled back and nodded.
"Okay, let's be friends that fool around then" he said and Blake's smile widened.
"So now can I tell you about my idea?" he asked with an eyebrow cocked up that made him look very handsome.
"I'm listening" Albus said and when Blake got up he followed his lead.
"What if we only do things you've never done with him?" he asked moving closer. Albus looked confused but nodded for him to go on, "If we don't do anything that reminds you of him then you'll be okay right?" he asked and Albus thought about it.
"We could give it a try" Albus said with a smile. Blake smiled back and he moved closer and then stopped.
"You kiss me then" he said beckoning him closer with his hands. Albus frowned and moved closer to him. "I do have some Scorpius experience of my own so I know he most likely always went for the first kiss" he said with a shrug and Albus felt a bit of jealousy of his own. He nodded and reached for his neck pulling him close and kissing him slowly. Blake moved his arms one around his waist and another over his shoulder hugging him close but he still let him command the kiss. He pushed him slowly back starting to like the game of barely feeling his tongue when he kissed. He felt him stall when they reached the wall and he pressed himself on Blake feeling his hard body against his.
"That's good" Albus said and Blake smiled against his lips and bit Albus' lower one teasingly.
"Now what?" Blake asked and even that question was like a surprise. Scorpius had never asked him to take the lead. He ordered him on top of him but never actually left him a choice. He moved his hands from Blake's neck down to his sides and lower until he reached his arse. Blake leaned back into the kiss and Albus grabbed him harshly and pressed him closer. Blake was starting to get hard. The thought of it was a little nerve wreaking but he still kept going. He kissed the side of his face and made his way to his neck and kissed him there. Blake let out a soft sound that moved something in him making him want him much more than he thought he did. He moved his hands from their comfortable position to the rim of his pants and tried to push them down but his pants were too tight. He groaned to that and he thought Blake would move to take them off but his hands remained still just stroking his back and the nape of his neck. He thought about for a second before moving his own hands to his trousers and undid them. Blake's only response was tilt his head calling his lips back to his. He complied as he loosened his pants then moving his hands down the back and grabbing his bare arse. It was so fucking firm; must have been all the quidditch. He pulled him closer and his crotch grinded over Blake's making them both let out soft sound to that.
"Can I" Blake started pulling away from his lips, "Can I undo yours?" he asked and Albus nodded slowly. Blake moved his hands and reached for his trousers slowly as if not to scare him, he leaned back to his lips and licked at them gently. Albus moaned and pulled him closer by his arse and deepened the kiss. He grinded his hips slowly over his but he still felt their trousers in the way. He moved one of his hands from its comfortable position and pulled his trousers down a little and then reached of his own, just enough for their cocks to touch over their pants. Blake moaned softly and pulled him by his hips closer encouraging him to move harshly over him. Albus felt his hands getting warm under the fabric and pulled his pants down just so they could be out in the open, but Blake broke their kiss and looked slightly up at his face.
"What?" Albus asked feeling himself blush.
"You really like it don't you?" he asked with a soft laugh and Albus looked at him puzzled until Blake pressed his arse back into his hands. Then he let out a laugh of his own.
"Sorry" he said but made no attempt to move them away, he smiled at him and squeezed boldly. Blake closed his eyes and Albus leaned back to his lips. He kept on kissing him and grinding his hips, stopping only to pull his jumper off and roll his sleeves back. Before he could get another comment out of him, Albus pressed back over his hips and picked up the pace. They both started to moan as they increased the rhythm and pushed harder on each other. Blake broke from his lips and moved his hands to the side of his face to look at him.
"Hand job?" he asked and Albus shook his head.
"Did that" he said.
"Suck you off?" Blake asked again.
"Did that too" Albus said not stopping his hips. Blake moaned and threw his head back.
"Help me out here then" he said with a laugh. Albus thought about it for a second and then nodded. He moved his hand in between them and pulled out Blake's cock then his and started stroking them together. Fuck that felt good. "Oh Merlin. Yeah that's good Al, good thinking" he said and broke off in another moan as he stopped stroking and started thrusting his hips into his hand and against Blake's cock. Blake started doing the same thing and within a minute probably they were both coming over his hand. Albus buried his face in his neck and groaned as he stroked them a couple of more times to ride out the rest of their orgasm.
"That was progress" Albus said with a smile that Blake returned with a nod. He was about to say something when the door burst open and Kent walked in with his bag of books.
"Blake mate, I need help with this crap" he said and looked up at them and dropped his books covering his eyes.
"Fuck Kent" Blake said pulling his pants back up and Albus did the same feeling his face turn beat red. Kent let out a laugh.
"Sorry mate. Didn't know you'd be up here with someone" he said peeking through his eyes and then moving his hands away with a smile.
"Hi Kent" Albus said trying not to look as embarrassed as he felt.
"Hi Albus" he said back not even trying to contain his grin.
"Could you maybe stop smiling like that, you freaking pervert" Blake said without spite and let out a laugh. "Sorry Albus, seems like I have to get back to work" he said glaring at Kent.
"It's okay, I have to get back to work too" he said waving his hand to show him it was fine. He picked up his bag from the chair and looked at him awkwardly. "I'm not sure how this part is supposed to go" he said gesturing between them. Blake let out a laugh and pulled his neck to give him a quick kiss.
"Just do whatever you want" he said with a smile and Albus nodded smiling.
"Bye then" he said turning away from him. "Bye Kent" he said with an embarrassed nod and walked out of the class room, pushing the door closed after him. He heard Kent starting to laugh as he walked away and he smiled thinking this might have helped.
Late AN: hey! I don't know if you love or hate Blake and his slightly meddlesome ways but next chapter he will be very important!
