Re: Lori + Scor
He followed Scor into the shadows of the building, though he strengthened the privacy charms, and added a few protection charms as well, that would alert them if anything happened. He wouldn't have a repeat of Valentine's Day.
He let Scorpius' words wash over him, and felt worse with each one. "I know, I'm not making sense. I don't even know what I'm feeling." And this was why he'd told Dylan once that relationships were too much work. It was easier not to feel anything, than it was to hurt so much.
"I'm attracted to him physically," he said slowly, though part of him wanted to protest that Dylan was not a prick. "But I don't want to be with him. I want to be with you. I want to go out to dinner, and cuddle on the couch and go to bed with you."
He hated that he'd hurt Scorpius so much, but he couldn't take it back. "You make me happy," he said, emphasizing the present tense. "But I don't want you to tell your family to fuck off. Family is important, and you shouldn't turn your back on them, especially not for me." This wasn't the issue right now, but he didn't want to let that pass by without comment.
