Albus was shaking, his whole body tingling. This was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for him. He leaped forward, taking Scorpius by surprise and pushing him into the wall behind him as Albus cornered him into another kiss, a deeper one than before. Scorpius hit his head, but he found himself too dazed to react to that. Albus was saying everything in the kiss – he was saying "thank you’ and "I love you’ and "you’re the best person in the world’ and "I’m so lucky to have you’ and "I mean it when I say I will love you forever’ all in one kiss. The two were barely breathing as Albus closed the gap between their bodies, his hands making a home on Scorpius’ cheeks, and his tears running down his face.
