albus struggles to feel the love his family gives him and feels that he’s not worthy of it and will never receive the kinds of love he knows. all because he believes he never lived up to truly being a potter. but scorpius really sees him for who he is. not ‘harry potters son’ or the ‘slytherin squib’. he sees albus as his best friend and his guiding force when things feel dark and helpless. holding on to the one he loves so dearly when he felt cold and weak at the hands of the dementors? that decision was always easy.
scorpius is seen as a curse and unloveable, the supposed child of voldemort, and feels unworthy from that sentiment. like he’ll never feel true love because he lost love from his mother and was seen as something evil from a terrible rumour. but albus sees him as a light in the darkness. his light in the darkness. and albus would sacrifice his own life if it meant scorpius could be safe. because scorpius in pain is his worst fear. he’d rather die than see the one he loves tortured. that decision was always easy.
albus and scorpius always have and always will give each other everything and love each other so easily. because from that very first day, a simple decision to share sweets in a train carriage together was easy. just like breathing.
