Re: Lori + Scor
Scorpius loved the way they were close, could just be near, and it was enough to almost not hear what he said. His eyes got wider and it took a minute to process. He could hear Mandy's voice, something about being too emotional. He had to learn to lock that down again, but this was Lori, the one who told him that he only wanted him. Only...and it was just a word that meant nothing apparently.
"What?" he asked, trying to keep his voice even. "You were with Dylan and you nearly..." He couldn't even say it. If they had it would have been done. Now he didn't know. He wanted to justify it somehow, but he couldn't.
He sucked in a breath but the air didn't seem to be in the room, kind of like walking in on Jamie and Sirius way back then, during the curse, and realizing what was going on, but that was a stupid crush. "That is just..." He could feel his hand shake and his jaw clenched, fighting for control. "No." He had to get out of sight, away from eyes, so he walked outside, trying to get air and control before he went off.
