ass_teaWhere: Slytherin Dormitories/Hogwarts Courtyard
When: Sunday, November 28, 2021 (fifth year)
Alby woke slowly, feeling oddly content, followed shortly by slight confusion as he realized there was a warm mass in the bed beside him. He briefly wondered if Lily had somehow crawled into bed with him, like she used to at home when she'd had a bad dream, but as soon as he had that thought it dispelled - the person beside him was too warm and too large to be Lily. Alby blinked in the greenish darkness of the enclosed bed, waking further and realizing that this wasn't his bed - and suddenly remembering it was Scorp's. And the person beside him was none other than Scorpius Malfoy himself - Alby's best friend and, if he hadn't made up what he remembered of last night, now his boyfriend.
Memories of last night came flooding back and Alby couldn't help it - a wide grin split his face as he disentangled himself carefully from the bedsheets and looked up at the bed's other occupant. Despite the fact that Alby had obviously moved and gotten a bit tangled in the bedclothes throughout the night, Scorp seemed to be lying in mostly the same position he'd been when they'd fallen asleep - on his back, but now his head was pillowed on folded arms and despite the fact that his eyes were closed, his glasses were perched on his nose, though a bit farther down than usual. Alby chuckled silently and, feeling a bit giddy, slipped up to lean over the blonde and simultaneously slid the glasses properly up his nose and leaned down for a soft, lingering kiss.
"You're already up, aren't you?" he murmured, barely suppressing the urge to run fingers through Scorp's hair and just collapse onto the other and wrap arms around him and never let go. Something about waking up like this made him happier than he'd ever felt, and the thought that it was only the beginning seemed almost too exciting to bear.
[OOC: I was going to have them start with waking up and heading over to get lunch, but then I was thinking we can skip through the meal and get them out to the courtyard so James can be his stupid self. :D; I'm also assuming Scorp is likely just dozing, since there is no way Alby woke up before him? Let me know if that wouldn't be the case and I'll rewrite, though!]

Date: 2007-10-29 03:58 pm (UTC)He shot James another glare that his brother did his best to pretend to be oblivious to, but a look from his sister left Alby secure in the fact that James was going to get an earful from her. It was a little silly, he felt, relying on his sister to deal with James like that, but obviously now was not the time for Alby to do it.
He resolved, as he and Scorp made their way out of the medical wing under the watchful eye of Madame Goodkind and Professor Longbottom, that he would track James down soon and give him a good talking-to, himself. Because avoiding the problem, when James was the problem, was only going to make it worse.
[OOC: I guess we can finish it about here? :D; If Alby talks to James, it'll be in private, so I'll probably write that up with just the two of them~]

Date: 2007-10-30 03:40 am (UTC)Most of Slytherin House had gathered in the common room, looking up from their books, games, and conversations as they entered, Scorpius with his arm around Alby's shoulders. Joe and Alex almost leapt off the couch to greet them, both with worried expressions.
"We heard what happened," Joe said gravely, "but Professor Dixon wouldn't let us into the infirmary."
"Are you okay, Alby?" Alex asked. "I heard it was a pretty nasty fall you took there. God, your brother's such a twat. Why didn't you just beat him up, Scorp?"
"Has it ever occurred to you that beating my boyfriend's big brother is not the best way to win approval from his family?" replied Scorpius acerbicly.
"Huh, I suppose," Alex said, as if he'd just considered that for the first time. "I'd've just beaten him up anyway."
Suppressing a sigh, Scorpius guided Alby toward their room. "We're going back to bed," he said, waving off any further questions. "This has not been the best day."
Scorpius and Alby undressed quickly, and with little fanfare they climbed back into Scorpius's bed and shut the curtains to block out the light. Scorpius wrapped Alby in his arms and pulled the blankets over them, burying his nose in Alby's hair.
"I hope tomorrow's better," he said, because he definitely thought it couldn't be worse.
[OOC: We can end here, or if you want to do one more tag go for it! But yeah, write up Alby's talk with James! He totally deserves to be wrung out by Alby! :3]

Date: 2007-10-30 04:18 am (UTC)"It had better be," he agreed, already feeling better now that they were safe within the confines of Scorp's bed, and he was warm and comfortable and tomorrow seemed a long way off. "But right now seems pretty good," he insisted, bumping his nose up against the other's pyjama'd chest and smiling once more, before his eyes slipped shut and he decided that maybe just a little nap wouldn't be so bad.
[OOC: And end! :D Yeah, I need to write them up, I have it pretty much down in my head, but it's just a matter of compelling myself to type it up~ I have half of a "Ginny and Harry get letters from their children" scene written already, so I'll try to finish that one too~ XD]
