He sat in the dark. He was hiding. From what exactly, he didn't know. His family? No, he had fixed his relationship with them. His best friend? Maybe, he wasn't sure. His anxiety? Definitely, 100%.
Footsteps echoed through the attic. Someone was climbing up the ladder to the attic. A flash of bleach blonde hair came into view. No, anyone but him. Please.
Albus Potter didn't usually hide from his best friend. He pulled the blanket tighter around him. He hoped that Scorpius couldn't see him in the dark.
No luck.
Scorpius grinned and finished climbing out of the trapdoor. He walked towards him, his cocky smile still on his face. He sat down beside him. In his hands were 2 plates. Sandwiches and chips. Scorpius pulled the blanket around him and snuggled into Albus' side. Albus hoped to Merlin that Scorpius couldn't see the blush on his face.
"Thought you might be hungry."
