James Potter is completely aware of the fact that he's never exactly been the poster child for emotional openness or maturity. It's taken him a little while to come into his own - maybe a little longer than most - but he feels better about his place in life lately. He's finally reconciled that he can still be himself and a Potter, that the only standards that he has to live up to are his own.

That his family will love him, no matter who he chooses to be - or be with.

Can you stop by later? he'll text Scorpius. It's late on a Sunday afternoon, right in the middle of summer - Scorpius has been out of Hogwarts for a few weeks now, which is strange and strangely thrilling all at the same time. Not that he can admit that part out loud. We need to talk.

It's a good thing, really. James just never seems to realize that 'We need to talk' is the most fear-inducing thing a person can possibly say to someone else.

Scorpius knows full well what 'we need to talk' means, and things had been going so smoothly that he isn't sure where this comes from. Maybe the relationship had lost its attraction once Scorpius got out of school? The danger of sneaking around had worn off? Maybe Al finally found out and burned the house down so James figured he might as well call things off?

Whatever the case, Scorpius isn't going down without a fight.

I'm busy is his terse response.
