ass_teaWhere: The Slytherin Dormitories
When: ~Mid-October, 2021 (fifth year)
Albus was standing with his back to the wall of the Slytherin common room, the cold from the stones seeping through his jumper and accentuating the temperature gradient from his back to his front, which was quite warm, given that he was pinned between the wall and the person before him, whose warm mouth was covering his own, robbing him simultaneously of breath and the strength in his legs.
Alby, of course, was finding that he didn't care about breathing or standing at this point, fingers catching in the other's jumper as a groan tried to escape his throat, only to be swallowed by the other's lips and teeth and tongue. Then the mouth pulled back just a bit, allowing Alby to take a breath, drawing enough air to push one labored word past his swollen lips.
"Scorpius," he breathed, as long pale fingers brushed over his own jumper now, his skin prickling at the touch even though there were two layers of clothing between Scorp's hands and Alby's chest. Somehow this seemed so right, that Scorpius was the person pinning him to the wall, kissing him like this, that it wasn't Alby doing the pinning or the kissing and that the the other person wasn't any of the girls that Alby had ever tried and utterly failed to date. This was Scorp and there was no one in the world Alby would prefer to be this close to, ever again. They had the whole of the common room to themselves - the whole of the castle to themselves, he felt. It was dizzying. It was what he wanted, what he wanted all the time and now that he had it, he wanted to stop time so he wouldn't ever have to think about parting.
Alby's eyelids fluttered open as the other's mouth touched the corner of his lips lightly; Scorpius looked down at him, flashing a calm, demure smile that did nothing to hide the strong undercurrent of possession that Alby could practically feel rolling off the taller boy in waves, and suddenly his hands slid back down Alby's front to his waistline and below, pressing firmly right there and Alby gasped -
"S - Scorp!" Alby jerked awake, heart racing; he blinked in the darkness of his enclosed four-poster bed for only a few seconds before he realized two very important things, neither of which boded at all well. First, he'd actually been calling out for Scorpius, because he could hear shifting outside the curtains of his bed as though the other had woken at his cries.
The second was that he was rather painfully - and quite obviously - hard.
Oh, fuck -
Alby hand't had one of these dreams in weeks - it had been one small stroke of luck, when everything else had gone wrong for a while, but now that things had finally almost gotten back to some semblance of normal, Alby realized that, as the shuffling beyond the curtains of his bed grew more distinct, they were about to take a turn for the decidedly suicidal. He scrambled desperately for the coverlet - he'd thrown it off in the midst of his dream, and he desperately scrabbled for it, bunching it over his midsection before whoever was out there - oh God it probably was Scorp - opened the curtains and saw.

Date: 2007-10-15 06:30 am (UTC)"You do look like hell," Alex pointed out bluntly, passing by them on his way to the door as he fiddled with his tie. "Were you sick or something last night? I heard you running around."
Alby paled. He'd heard? But he obviously didn't think anything of it - which was good, really good, and Alby wasn't about to outright contradict the explanation he'd made up. "It was nothing - just a bad dream. I didn't mean to wake you up."
Alex shrugged. "Didn't keep me up for long. Went right back to sleep. Don't worry about it, mate." Joe finished pulling on his robe then, and the two of them, followed by Zach, headed out the door with a short wave to Alby and Scorp.
Alby sighed, but he really was very exhausted. He turned back to Scorp, ducking his head a little. "I think I will take a nap," he said, putting his shirt and pants back into the dresser. "I'm really sorry about waking you up last night, by the way. It won't happen again." At least, he really hoped not. Not like that.
"Go on so you're not late," he offered with a small smile - as bad as last night had been, at least Scorp didn't know the truth of it. And that meant Alby had something like a second chance, in a way, because he just had to act normal and never, ever do anything like that again and everything would be all right. Because he really wanted everything to be all right.
[OOC: Uh. XD I don't think I know either, other than making them more miserable. D: I suppose we can just end it hereabouts, if you like? Ah, the poor boys. XD]

Date: 2007-10-15 06:57 am (UTC)Scorpius shrugged as Alby apologized to him, trying to act like he hadn't known that Alby had been wanking off in the showers. His mind briefly wondered what Alby had been thinking of, but that particular line of questioning always depressed him. No doubt the answer contained girls or women some sort, something Scorpius was definitely not interested in.
"It's all right," Scorpius replied, putting on his robe and making sure he had his wand and all his books in his bag. "I went back to sleep anyway. I hope the dream wasn't too bad," he said with a shrug. He wanted to offer to let Alby talk about it if he wanted to, because that's what he used to do with his mother when he had nightmares in the middle of the night, but he didn't want to hear the details if Alby wanted to tell him the truth. Knowing that Alby was straight was bad enough, having to listen to exactly how straight he was was a torture session that Scorpius wanted to avoid as much as possible.
Scorpius shouldered his bag and headed out, pausing to turn at the doorway. "I'll take good notes for you," he said simply and walked out.
The Great Hall was filled with its usual student body when he found a seat next to Joe.
"Alby looks like shit," Joe said simply, looking to Scorpius as if he had all the answers.
Scorpius looked back impassively. "He had a bad dream."
"Heard the showers last night," Alex said from across the table, spearing a sausage with his fork and wolfing it down.
"Oh," a look of realization dawned on Joe's face. "So he does it at night then." He nodded and then returned to his scrambled eggs.
Scorpius looked from Joe to Alex. Zach was nowhere to be seen, probably at the Hufflepuff table with his girlfriend. "What?"
"Wanking, mate," Alex said, spearing another sausage and waving it at Scorpius. "Everybody does it," he said matter-of-factly. "I've always just sort of wondered when Alby does it."
Scorpius looked between his two dormmates with disbelief. "What the bloody--"
"Look." Alex wolfed down another sausage and put his work down. "We're fifteen. Of course we wank. It's bloody hard to find a time and a place to do it when nobody's in the room, so I've got to make sure nobody has overlapping wanking times and places, because that could get awkward real fast."
Joe usually didn't like agreeing with Alex, but he nodded his head reluctantly. "It's a good thing Alby does it in the middle of the night."
Scorpius rolled his eyes at the ceiling. He was absolutely sure somewhere that his ancestors were playing a huge cosmic joke on him. No answers came from above. "I cannot believe I'm having this conversation."
"So when do you wank off, mate?" Alex asked.
"None of your business," Scorpius snapped. He was not getting involved in this conversation.
Alex put his arms in the air innocently. "I'm just trying to avoid awkward situations here, mate."
Scorpius put his fork down. He was done with breakfast. "If you haven't caught me already, then you never will all right?" He grabbed a plate and heaped some pancakes and butter on top, nabbed some silverware and got up. "See you in class," he said, rushing out of the Great Hall as fast he could, but not before he heard the last snatches of Alex talking to Joe.
"My God, I think he does it when we're in there. Must be when we're just falling asleep, or even in the mornings. That's disgusting."
If Scorpius hadn't already been on his way he out, he would have turned around and given his roommates a big "bugger off."

Date: 2007-10-15 06:58 am (UTC)[OOC: I think we can end it here. :D
Where to from here? I was thinking of writing a log where Scorp tries to have a talk with Hawk about asking out other guys. D: Should I just write that? Or did you want to do Hawk? X3 I might also do a log where one of the Ravenclaw girls tries asking Scorp out and he rejects her. D: Maybe we should do that sometime close to when Scorp and Alby get together? Did you have any other boy torture in mind? XD]
no subject
Date: 2007-10-15 07:08 am (UTC)Hrm~ Well, if you feel like just writing that yourself, that's cool - you might actually be better at writing someone like Hawk than I am. XD; I think he's kind of like a... slightly less party-animal version of Alex, or something. I could probably do Hawk if you want someone to play off of, but I definitely don't mind if you just want to do that one yourself~ And ooh, that's a good idea, having someone ask Scorp out and having him reject her. Would he tell Alby about it afterwards? :O
I might want to do something short with Alby watching Hawk for obvious signs of GAY, but I think that was the only narrative thing I had planned. I don't think I have any other torture in mind, but I'll give it some thought~ Having Alex and Joe confront Alby and Scorp separately trying to figure out what's going on might be interesting, though I think that might be fairly short as well... ]
no subject
Date: 2007-10-15 07:25 am (UTC)Sure, I can write Hawk by myself, I just wanted to make sure you weren't like...itching to play him or something like that. XD So yeah, two narratives for me then. I seriously can't think of anything major, though I really do feel like we maybe ought to do one more thing before Alby has the "so I have a friend..." talk with Scorp. D: Any ideas? I'm also thinking that Scorp might try talking with Professor Blackwood, cause he's the head of house and he seems like the type of person to know what to do. After all, it would be hilarious if Professor Blackwood gave him pamphlets on safe sex spells and stuff like that. |D Oh, high school memories!]
no subject
Date: 2007-10-15 04:00 pm (UTC)Okay, sounds good then~ Yeah, I was kind of thinking... there's got to be something that kind of... precipitates Alby telling Scorp that he likes him, except I'm not sure what that would be. (Though maybe having someone else ask Scorp out first would do it, now that I think about it...) Either that or we have one more really awkward almost-something with them - I'm not sure what yet, but I'll try to think of ideas! Maybe something like one of them catches the other talking to Hawk, or maybe their dormmates bug them or something... I'm also thinking Lily might try to get herself involved, actually, because she'd have noticed Alby's been acting weird since the summer. :D;
Ahaha, yes, that would be totally hilarious if Blackwood gave Scorp a whole bunch of safe sex literature. XD That would be priceless.]
no subject
Date: 2007-10-15 09:33 pm (UTC)Hahahaha, I'm thinking that maybe Scorp should have the talk with Professor Blackwood after he and Alby get together. XD Maybe the professor will want to see him after class, since he's heard all the rumors. D: He'll probably want to be talking to Alby too, or maybe he'll get his wife to talk to Alby. XD That would be HILARIOUS!]

Date: 2007-10-16 12:01 am (UTC)|D Yes, if he waits 'till after and Professor Blackwood actually pulls him aside, that would be hilarious. XD I totally vote for that. It'll be priceless.
Hrm... I don't know what the classes are like, but I do get the feeling it's on a rotating schedule sort of thing? Because sometimes they have double periods, sometimes they don't, etc., etc., so I think they can't take all their classes during the day. I wonder if it's more like college, with a MWF and TR sort of thing? We can draft up a basic schedule, I don't mind - heck, we might actually want to implement the same sort of thing over at CoS?]
