"Am I interrupting?" Hugo stood in the doorway, eyebrows arched so high they disappeared beneath his fringe. An evergreen wreath was looped over one of his arms.

Teddy shoved Scorpius off his lap and stood. "No."

"No?" Hugo looked between them, frowning when his eyes landed on Scorpius. "And how are you, Romeo?"

"Fine."

"Fine," Hugo parroted. Teddy's lips twitched. Sarcasm was Hugo's forte, inherited from his mother.

Scorpius lifted his chin. "Yes."

Hugo handed the wreath to Teddy. "From Mum. Apparently you're incapable of decorating your own home." He jerked his head at Scorpius. "How'd you reduce him to one word sentences, by the way? That's a nifty trick, if you'd care to share."

"Arse," Scorpius muttered, but ducked to hide his smile.

Hugo studied Teddy for a long moment. His lips thinned. "Let's go, Malfoy. It's time to come home and apologize for being such a brat. Teddy has his own life to live."

Always the responsible one, Hugo. The peacekeeper. How lucky for Scorpius that he'd been drafted for the search and recovery mission. It could've easily been James, whose methods weren't nearly as diplomatic. "You should go and apologize, at least," Teddy agreed.

"I'm not ready." Scorpius' fingers stroked across Teddy's wrist. Teddy's heart lurched.

Protectiveness flashed in Hugo's eyes. "Leave him alone, Scorpius."

"I want to stay."

"It's okay," Teddy said, hating his weakness. The pine wreath bit into his one palm, Scorpius' fingers into the other. "It's fine. He can stay."

	Still really enjoying these - you're so good at working in tantalizing hints of all their histories! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you! I'm going to have to thank Ali for drawing me into this -- it's a serious exercise, including everything I want to say in so few words. Glad you're sticking with it. hugs (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nods I like the discipline of drabbles myself; it's a great writing exercise. And I will totally be reading them all - even if I miss a day or two I'm sure I will go back to catch up! ♥ (Reply to this) (Parent)
