Scorpius beckoned Teddy to him, kissing him soft and sure before wordlessly directing him to face Hugo and straddle his hips. Scorpius took hold of Hugo’s cock, his other hand on Teddy’s waist, guiding as Teddy lowered himself onto it. He could feel Teddy’s muscles tensing and twitching as he worked through the discomfort.

“Take it slow, Ted. It’s okay, you can take it slow,” he whispered into his ear. “Want to see you enjoy this. You deserve to enjoy this, you’re such a perfect fuck-toy for us, isn’t he Hugo?”

Hugo didn’t answer, but when he looked up at Teddy, the fierce hunger in his eyes made Teddy shudder pleasantly. It was still there, the remnants of their conflict, and this was how they would rid themselves of it. Teddy felt guilty and this was his apology. His absolution. He turned his head, offering his lips to Scorpius, but Scorpius stayed out of reach.

“Tell me,” Scorpius whispered.

“You know what I need,” Teddy softly replied, “Please.”

“This?” He knelt down and slid his finger into Teddy, alongside Hugo’s cock. His eyes fluttered closed and he pressed down eagerly.

“Give it to him,” came Hugo’s voice gruffly. Scorpius knelt up again, peering over Teddy’s shoulder to look down at Hugo.

“Why should I?”

Hugo paused for a moment before replying, “Look at him.”

“Tell him. Tell him why he deserves this.” Scorpius’s hand smoothed gentle circles against Teddy’s back as he waited.

“Because you’re right,” he replies eventually. “He’s perfect. So good to us, so good for us. Perfect.”

Teddy leant forward, hovering just above Hugo, waiting for permission. Hugo reached up and pulled him into a kiss. It started soft and sweet but soon developed heat. Hugo started to grind his hips up into Teddy, and Scorpius got into position. When he nudged his cock against Hugo’s, everyone stilled.

“I still need you to tell me, Ted. Tell me you want this.”

“Need it,” he muttered into Hugo’s neck, “Please, need you both.” He sat up slightly, flicking his hair over his shoulder and looking back at Scorpius. “Fuck me together.”

Scorpius pressed forward carefully, listening for the hitch in Teddy’s breathing and holding still for a moment. A gentle hand between Teddy’s shoulder blades encouraged him to lean forward and Scorpius easily pushed deeper. Soon Hugo’s fingertips were grazing Scorpius’s hips, desperately trying to urge him on but unable to reach. Scorpius leant over them both, fingers tangling with Hugo’s against the sheets, thrusting faster, harder, watching them kiss. Teddy was moaning, loud and high. Scorpius began to kiss and nip at Teddy’s neck. He looked down to see Hugo pinching his nipple, and that was all it took. Teddy shook, gasping his release as he came untouched. Scorpius thrust gently while he rode it out, then pulled out carefully. They let him rest for a moment before guiding him to the side. He rolled off of Hugo, but curled up against his side. Scorpius moved in, pressing his cock to Hugo’s and wrapping his hand around them both. Hugo was panting heavily, thrusting up against him and when Teddy’s arm stretched out, hand joining Scorpius’s, they came together.

Scorpius climbed unsteadily off of the bed, grabbed his wand and cleaned them up before dragging the duvet over his half-asleep lovers. They were heavily entwined, exchanging lazy kisses and gently petting. He knew that Teddy and Hugo shared something entirely different, but it didn’t matter. What he had with each of them was also entirely different, especially when it was just two of them. No matter how things were between any two of them, they were always better like this. Scorpius crawled into bed behind Teddy, curling against him and Ted hummed happily. Hugo sat up and reached across him, pulling Scorpius into a tender kiss.

Always better together.
