Scorpius wouldn't have called it playing, but he was tired of it too, whatever it was they were doing that was preventing them from being together. As much as it plagued him, a part of him was tired of caring so much about what his family thought. Though he couldn't entirely separate himself from the fears and anxieties of having no family.. it was emotionally exhausting, having to take their opinion into consideration for every decision he made.
"I want to be with you," said Scorpius, not hesitating or stumbling to admit it.
