It does hurt.

It hurts Albus, too.

He feels like all the air around them has been sucked right out of the world and the ground has been pulled out from under his feet. It's a huge and horrible cliche, but it's all he can think of to distract himself from hearing the hurt in Scorpius' voice.

"D'you want to go back to that?" he asks quietly. "Ignoring each other."
