Scorpius shamelessly arched into the touch, the adrenaline fizzing through him morphing into something softer, needier. "I like you a lot and you know that," he murmured in between kisses although his brain was struggling to take in the next part of what he said. "I didn't need to know that ever. So Lisa wants to take the American Muggles on? Or something? Don't take offence, I like the woman, but she's entirely mad. Oh and I think you underestimate Rita. She'd have us all in tragic love triangles by now. I'm surprised there hasn't been more sniping considering we're all in close quarters."
"Don't even joke about that, he's my best friend." And his past boyfriend and a lot of things in between. Al was a lot to Scorpius and always would be despite how differently their lives had turned out. The two of them had been fast friends since the train going to Hogwarts and Scorpius was so grateful to have somebody so fundamentally good and unbothered about fame and fortune in his life. "Well, I'm not having two kitchens when I don't even know how one works but I do want a pool."
