Albus twisted his hands together. “Look, a month ago, I was in love with my best friend, but we were just friends and now-” green eyes met gray and words suddenly poured out of him in a torrent. “Now we're here, and I love you and maybe you love me, and we're really doing this, and it's for real, and maybe I'll be absolute crap at it, maybe this isn't what you really want, and maybe I can't make you happy, and--” he took a shuddering breath.

Oh I never got to read this during the fest - no time!! - and it's so good. I don't know if I've left you many comments in the past but I always enjoy your stuff. When I see your name pop up, I always have an "ooo!" moment. lol This was so sweet with the nerves and the uncertainty. I love that Al was so bold but still has his insecurities - very Potter.

Lovely ficlet!
