Scorpius x Albus #1
Scorpius gasped as he looked up at the ceiling. He closed his eyes and small sobs started to come out of his mouth as he snuggled between Albus arms. Albus sighed as he stroked Scorpius hair and whispered sweet things in his ear.
It wasn’t the first time Scorpius had woken up crying or gasping for air because of a nightmare. It’s been like that since they’d been back from time. Scorpius once told him that most of the time the nightmare was about Delphi torturing him non-stop and all the things that had happened in the other universe. The Voldemort universe. Most of the time Albus wished he could do something but he knew that the only thing he could do was be by Scorpius' side and make sure that he was ok.
Soon enough, Scorpius had calmed down and he was just laying there in Albus’ arms. Small hiccups were heard and Albus just stroked his back in small circles before moving his hand back to Scorpius’ hair. “It’s ok, you’re ok.” He whispered with his eyes closed and his chin on top of Scorpius’ head. “Everything is ok, Scorp. She can’t hurt you anymore. They cannot hurt you anymore.” Finally Scorpius’ had seemed to calm down and he seemed to have fallen asleep as well. Albus sighed one more time before pulling Scorpius closer to his body and going back to sleep.
His father’s words and cries still echoing in his head.
