Loss Of Words (Scorbus) (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Six

            "Still. She had no right to tell you." Albus huffed. "Anyway, what was the argument about?"

            "It was about you actually." He uttered. "She told me that I need to start standing up for her against you. I told her that I wasn't getting involved and she got mad." Albus frowned and furrowed his brow.

            "Stand up because she was out of line for telling you my business?!" Albus shouted and Scorpius' eyes widened.

            "Hey Albus, I get it.  I told her she was wrong in telling me and that's what got her angry. She told me I pressured her and I argued that I did no such thing."  Scorpius assured and Albus just looked at the ground. "We've made up though. She sent me an owl and suggested we just have some distance today since we're together too much."

            "Oh okay." Albus muttered.

            "Enough about us. How are you and erm... Cain doing?" He asked and Albus blushed smiling.

            "He's gonna ask me to be his boyfriend tonight." Albus told Scorpius.

            "Yeah? It's about time. You've been dating for about a month, correct?"

            "A month yes." Albus grinned. "I kind of ruined the surprise though."

            "Yeah, you seem to do that a lot." Scorpius teased and Albus threw a pillow at him.

            "Shut your trap you prat." Albus hissed teasingly. "Not get up, we got double Herbology."

            True to his promise, Albus waited for Cain by the entrance hall after dinner. Cain spotted him and trotted over to him. He hugged Albus tightly before pulled away and holding his hand.

            "Are you ready?" He asked the younger boy.

            "I am. Where are we going?" He asked.

            "It's a surprise." He whispered into Albus' ear. He covered Albus' eyes with his hands and Albus tensed.  "Relax baby." Cain told him. Albus took a deep breath and allowed himself to be hauled throughout the castle. Cain didn't lift his hands until they entered a room and then Cain let go.

            Albus gasped at the sight of the room. He had figured it was the ROR because it looked too perfect to be anything else. There was a blanket fort set up in front of him and a roaring fire just outside of the fort.

            "Come on. Go in the fort." Cain urged so Albus did. He got on all fours and crawled into the fort. Inside there was a black little stuffed teddy bear sitting against pillows. In front of the teddy bear was a steaming mug of hot coco.

            "I-it's perfect." Albus marveled.

            "The teddy is yours." Cain told him. "But hold on." He moved passed Albus and picked up the mug handing it to him.  "Sit back." He told Albus who rested against a pillow. He outstretched his legs and rested the mug in front of him.  Cain blushed as he held the teddy out in front of him. "Albus?"

            "Yes Cain?" Albus grinned.

            "Will you be my boyfriend?" Cain asked extending the bear to him. Albus took the bear and noticed how incredibly soft it was. Albus smiled and nodded.

            "Yes. I'd love to be."  Cain smiled widely and leaned in. He kissed Albus gently before swiping his tongue on the boy's bottom lip. Confused, Albus just continued kissing Cain the way he was used to.  Cain tried again but bit Albus' lip causing him to gasp. Cain used this opportunity to stick his tongue in Albus' mouth. Albus stilled causing Cain to pull away and smile breathlessly.
