Re: Lori + Scor
While Scorpius could go on and on at someone for days, there were points that could make him crumble. Usually he effectively pushed people away quite thoroughly, even though he really just needed that physical affection and that closeness. He didn't push him away. He really couldn't do that, even if there was a part of him that wanted to. He knew that trust would be a huge issue. Once broken, it would never be as easy.
"I want you," he repeated, his fingers twisted through Lori's soft hair. "I don't want you to be here out of some obligation, no matter how I feel. I don't want that at all. I don't want to be second."
His leaned his head against his boyfriend's still not able to look at him. "How is this really never going to happen again? I need to believe in you, to trust you, or we won't be right. I need it to be like it was."
