There's Something I Need to Tell You
My eyes lifted to the sky as he spoke.
"I love coming up here."
"Me too," I murmured, watching the stars twinkle above us. I leaned out over the barrier, looking down at the grounds below us. The light of the moon and the stars above us lit the cobbled stone of the Astronomy tower and made the whole space feel so magical.
"Can I ask you something?" Scorpius whispered, his eyes flicking to my face. I nodded, looking back at him. "Have you ever thought about… a friend, in ways other than friendship?"
I stared at him, his cheeks turning slightly red.
"I don't know, maybe. Why?" I answered, my heart beating fast. He ran his hands across the metal bars of the barrier and looked away.
"I was just wondering if you thought… if it was a good idea to say something, or if I should keep it quiet. I really don't want to ruin what I have with them." Scorpius finished his ramble and looked back at me. I felt like I couldn't breathe, I could hear my heart in my throat as he stared at me.
"I think you should tell your friend," I finally whispered. His smile brightened as he let out the breath he had been holding.
"Oh, I'm so glad you think so. I've been thinking about this for days!"
We were silent for a couple minutes before he turned to me, his eyes bright.
"I think there's something I need to tell you," he let out a large breath, and closed his eyes.
"I'm in love with your cousin."
