There had to be some way Albus could salvage his relationship with Scorpius. The fact that he had come to the Gryffindor Tower to visit his boyfriend while smelling of perfume, the collar of his shirt stained with lipstick, was only half the problem. In his fit of rage, Scorpius had announced that, from now on, he too was going to give in to all of his temptations. Albus knew that his boyfriend was stubborn enough to follow through on that threat, but he wasn't going to get in the way. It wouldn't be fair to deny Scorpius what Albus had indulged in himself, even if he had only done it once to satisfy his curiosity.
Albus was certain that he would one day regret the suggestion he was about to make, but if Scorpius was going to start cheating on him, it would be wise to establish some guidelines to ensure that no third party would become a threat to their relatioship.
"Okay... well... maybe if we set some ground rules?"
Scorpius's face was contorted with a mixture of anger and confusion. "What?"
Albus stared at his lap as he spoke, but he occasionally glanced up at his boyfriend to see Scorpius's reaction. "What I mean is— you could shag other people if you wanted, and I could, too, but we would have to set some rules to make sure things don't go too far."
The corners of Scorpius's lips turned upward and he raised a brow. "A Slytherin? And Rules?"
The amused look on Scorpius's face was infuriating. "Merlin's Balls—" said Albus. "A Gryffindor and rules!"
As he said the words, Albus realized that his plan was fatally flawed. Having heard stories about the kinds of trouble his father and uncles had gotten into at Hogwarts, he began to doubt that any rules they laid out tonight would help protect him from heartbreak.
*****
Scorpius didn't have any trouble abiding by the rules that he and Albus had agreed upon. It was just shagging— like it was supposed to be. No romantic dates. No gifts exchanged. Those were all things Harry had told him from the beginning that he couldn't have. No one could ever find out that the wizarding world's favorite hero was cheating on his wife with a seventeen year old boy, who just happened to be one of his students. It would destroy Harry, and Scorpius didn't want that.
What he wanted was to be touched and pleasured in ways that his young and inexperienced boyfriend couldn't manage, by the man whose voice alone was enough to make him cream his pants, and still have a normal relationship on the side that he didn't have to hide from anyone. And Albus was similar enough to Harry that Scorpius could pretend...
*****
Albus wasn't an idiot. After watching his boyfriend's footsteps enter Albus's father's room on the Marauder's Map again and again over the past few weeks, he'd come to accept his relationship with Scorpius for what it was— a substitute for what Scorpius really wanted, but couldn't have. The reality of it was painful, and yet, Albus knew he wasn't strong enough to leave, so he would continue to pretend that everything was okay. He would return the map to James and never look at it again. He would look the other way whenever his boyfriend and his father exchanged looks across the Great Hall. Only those rare evenings, when Scorpius didn't bother to clean himself up after one of his rendezvous and Albus had to bathe his cock in his father's come would bring tears to Albus's eyes. But as long as he could blink them back, everything would be alright. After all, Scorpius wasn't breaking any rules.
