"He'll say anything to wedge himself between us. He wants you to choose." Scorpius replied softly, lacing their fingers together. "I wouldn't do that- I want them to be in your life because I know they mean something to you. I'm just sorry the pair of them are too childish to overcome boyhood rivalries and accept us." the murmured statement was followed up by Scorpius pressing a kiss to the back of her hand, than the inside of her wrist, before his lips traced the length of her arm up to her shoulder at which point he pushed his weight forward to roll on top her her, propping himself up above her to look down at her. Pressing his lips to her ear then he said, "I love you, Lily Malfoy- and I always will." his voice was so low it was barely there- the sentiment was for her and only her. There were silencing charms, yes. No one could overhear them, but Scorpius only remitted such a powerful emotion in the most intimate or meaningful of settings. Of course, those two usually went hand in hand. And as soon as he'd said it he caught her lips in a kiss so she couldn't respond.
