Summary
“I think you lead people on.” Albus says.
“People? Plural? This is quite the accusation, Albus.” Scorpius drawls, an amused smile toying with the curve of his lips. There it is. Albus watches it and remembers what it feels like against his own. “Who do you think I’m leading on?”
Albus blinks up to meet Scorpius’ gaze. “I haven’t the faintest idea.”
Or: Albus and his ill-advised, alcohol-induced, intensely-yearning situationship with his best friend would be a lot more successful if they spent their time talking instead of kissing.

Summary
“What are you doing here?” Albus repeats, turning to Karl. “I thought you were at that party?”
“I was,” Karl says, relaxing further into the carpet, “but it was boring as fuck. I realised I’d rather be here.”
“In my house?” Albus deadpans. He highly doubts that his room is anywhere near as interesting as the party Frankie is throwing while his parents are away.
“With you.”

Summary
“You are looking for trouble.” Albus jokes weakly, leaning back.
“I’ve been trying to,” Scorpius answers, refusing to play along like he has been suddenly, he doesn’t laugh or flirt or draw closer, just looks at him, “it seems to have been avoiding me though.”
“I haven’t been avoiding you-”
“Yes, you have, Albus,” Scorpius interrupts, “ever since the others arrived you’ve hardly spoken to me. Why?”
Albus ducks his head. Looks at his shoes in the sand. “You know why.”
OR: Polly decides she's been waiting long enough and she thinks Albus and Scorpius have too.

Summary
“So?”
“So what?”
“So,” she presses, undeterred, “are you going to ask me to Hogsmeade?”
Yann squints at her, as much as he clearly wants to keep a straight face, he’s failing. He’s never been good at hiding a smile, not one that he means.
“Nah.”
OR: Polly asks Yann to ask her out.

Summary
“So, what now? We keep catching coaches from shithole to shithole?”
A mosquito pricks Ryan’s neck and he smacks it away. He thinks about the weight of Naim’s head on his shoulder on the bus, the tinny melodies emitted by cheap earphones filling the space between them. Remembers how settled he’d felt, how uncertain yet still oddly calm, having only the vaguest idea where he was going but being sure about who he was going with. He looks at Naim. “Maybe, yeah.”
/
Ryan and Naim keep going.

Summary
He closes his eyes. Slides his own hand up to his cheek, around slowly to the back of his neck. Gentle. If he moves all of his rings to his left hand, he can almost pretend that it’s Naim’s palm against the carotid instead.
After, Ryan seeks him out like a bad dog.
Or: The follow-up. Naim, Ryan, a witch hunt, and what it takes to let it go.

Summary
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?***
maybe they can outrun it, if he just keeps driving

Summary
Ryan exhales, smoke slipping past his lips. “Did it ever touch you?”
Naim’s stomach churns. He curls towards Ryan, shifting onto his side, as Ryan’s gaze lands on him, piercing. He shakes his head.
“Good,” Ryan says, lifting the cigarette to his mouth.
Naim thinks of photobooth pictures, of hot blood trickling down Ryan’s neck, of flame and fear. He presses a soft kiss to Ryan’s side, over his ribs, over the soft cotton of his shirt, and inhales his scent.
