19. Love have no bounds

Prompt used - high fiving | fluff | Harry finally delivers his unrequited love to Draco | unedited

" do you think this shelf would go along with the white drawers in my bed room ?" Harry asked as he surfed Ikea along with Draco

" you want something in contrast with the walls of your bedroom and your drawers Harry and red is the last thing that should do, why don't you check those brown shelves, they're pretty good. They would look good with your roof window you know " Draco pointed towards the brown shelves while picking up something's for Harry's new apartment.

Harry smiled at draco for a moment " you always know the best "

" I mean don't underestimate my taste, it's purely elite " Draco gave a tiny laugh

" even when it comes to relationships?" Harry joked

" now that i think of it, the guy I like seems pretty oblivious so I think maybe not so elite " Draco replied smiling to himself

" why don't you just tell him you like him then ?" He asked

Draco frowned stopping for examining the kitchen essentials " he's- it's not that simple. We're great friend's but I think he doesn't like me that way "

" oh " Harry pouted pushing his hands into his pockets before joining along Draco in kitchen essentials. They didn't really talk about it after that. The truth was Draco had been head over heels for Harry ever since the war, he always knew somewhere he liked Harry but only became aware of his feelings after the war but the more troubling part was whenever Draco tried to indicate it, Harry would just freak out and do something so casual as if they're like brothers and it would ruin the moment and draco would be forced to simply drop it. It happened so much that Draco had completely given up trying to make a move on Harry a long time ago but his feelings haven't really left him at all, it's hard to not fall for someone more each day when they're around you so much.

They were outside in the park after shopping sitting on the bench eating ice cream when Harry finally talked after all

" Draco ?"

" hmm"

" There's this place that I know - well uh- Someone suggested it " Harry awkwardly fumbled with his jeans avoiding looking at Draco.

Draco was immune to harry freaking out easily yet he couldn't help but feel giddy about how after all this time Harry had finally decided to maybe make a move.

" what's the place like ?" Draco controlled his hyperventilating emotions to ask something casual. Maybe this was it.

" well it's a new Riverside restaurant, the foods delicious and I was wondering .."

" wondering what ?"

" if- If you'd maybe like to come along ?" Harry finally asked.

" like -"

" yeah like with everyone " Harry interjected almost jumping up in his seat.

" oh " something hauled in Draco's stomach like a huge weight was dropped and suddenly he was very much aware of his tounge in his mouth. He rubbed his nose with his index finger before giving Harry a warming smile " sure yeah, that'd be great. Who all are going to be there ?"

" yeah - I think Ron , mione, you could maybe ask pansy and Theo to come along. I'll see if I can get Ginny and Luna to come " Harry smiled.

" uh yeah sure- you know what you take care of Ron and Hermione, I'll ask Luna and pansy. Theo's out of state for some business so he won't make it " Draco replied in a strained voice, his clutch on his ice cream too hard to almost break it.

" great then " Harry said and raised his right arm " Draco, high five " Draco raised his eyebrows for a moment as if not actually believing Harry had done that but nonetheless in a fake happiness he gave him a high five and ate the rest of this ice cream in the loneliness of his broken heart.

" you've been strangely quiet " Harry asked as he walked Draco home

" oh- it's nothing- just a little brain freeze from the ice cream and tired. I'll see you at that restaurant with others tomorrow night then " Draco gave him a firm smile and without a goodbye closed the door behind him. He pressed his back against the front door sliding down, closing his eyes with his hands over his face rubbing it slowly, harsh breaths leaving his lips.

" fuck " Draco whispered to himself hitting his thighs wanting to scream for even thinking that Harry could've possibly after all this time would've reciprocated any feelings as such. He cursed himself repeatedly for being so stupid, so stupid to believe any of such sort. Rubbing his eyes he finally got up and just sleept his sadness away.

" honey- I'm so sorry about that. I mean I thought after all this time -"

" yes so did I pans but you know what I'm done with his shit. He can go fuck himself, I don't care. I don't care even a little bit" Draco harshly said as he put on shoes for the night

" but Draco, you do care, you care so much that after all this time you still love him the same " came a small whisper from the girl in blue. Luna.

Draco's eyes softened upto Luna " I - maybe I do but I have to stop caring. It's been years, I've been in love with him for as long as I can remember but it's clear isn't it, he just doesn't see me that way and I can't care about it even if I want to. He doesn't like me and that's the bottom line and I have to accept the harsh truth "

" he's a git " Ginny said annoyed almost stomping the floor in the process

" yes, the git I've been In love with unfortunately . Shall we ?" He gave them a small smile. With pity they nodded and everyone apparated to the said address.

When Harry had said the restaurant was by the Riverside, draco didn't actually believe it would be Riverside but he was surprised to see that it just by the river and beyond perfect. The lights on the coast and the leaves on the surface of the river with the exquisite sight of river was perfect, perfect for a date which Draco unfortunately wasn't on one.

And just in mere seconds he saw Harry come in with Hermione and Ron, Hermione harshly Whispering something to harry before she saw the others and immediately turned her lips into a gentle smile.

" evening, table for 7 I suppose " the waitress said, Harry nodded claiming he had a reservation and finally when they were seated, it didn't take long for everyone to erupt into conversation, everyone except Draco who was admiring the beauty of the river.

" hey " he heard across the table and looked upto see Harry smiling at him

Draco gave him another small smile.

" you're very quiet, everything alright ?" Harry asked leaning over so they could have a little more privacy.

" everythings fine " Draco gave a curt nod before picking up his wine and Turning to Ginny on his side and talking about quidditch.

They were half way through the conversation when Draco saw someone across the table sitting along and instantly recognising him from work

" Thomas ?" Draco called out. The guy instantly looked up and gave him a firm wave.

" mind me " Draco said as he got up from the table and joined thomas in a little conversation which seemed like a small playful argument from Harry's side before he came back to the table.

" would you guys mind if invite Thomas to join us, he just got stood up on his date and he's just in a bit of a shitty place?" He asked. Everyone nodded except Harry.

" Harry ?" Draco finally asked him

" huh - I mean yeah sure- I don't mind " he said and instantly turned to his drink and gulped it down. Frowning Draco walked away and asked Thomas to join. Within minutes the entire table filled with much more conversations and funny anecdotes from Thomas, everyone loved him but Harry. He didn't even say anything, for the rest of the night he had chosen silence and Frankly Draco didn't wanted to care much, but, he did.

After the dinner while everyone was departing and draco was paying for Thomas's dinner, Harry joined him.

" nice guy Thomas huh" he said as he took out his card

" yeah " Draco said without looking up from the bill and finally took his wallet and paid in cash.

Once everyone had left, Draco was saying goodbye to Thomas by the river while harry waited for him so he could walk home with him but it took him forever and harry was almost bored of waiting but didn't leave.

" what are you still doing here ?" Draco furrowed his eyebrows as he finally looked at harry waiting kicking rocks.

" waiting for you " Harry replied as if it was so obvious. Ignoring the tone Draco bobbed his head in forward direction for him to join along for the walk.

" so he's the oblivious guy ?" Harry asked as he pushed one of his down his pocket while the other hung his jacket on his back.

" what ?" Draco asked confused, looking at harry only for a moment, as if it'd make him forget of his Beauty.

" the guy you like. Seems like it worked out for you tonight " Harry didn't look up from the road

" what? You think I like Thomas ?" Draco questioned exasperated

" seemed evident. You guys were all over each other, laughing about, having fun " the bitterness could be heard even by a deaf man but Draco refused to get his expectations up this time. He have had plentiful of Harry's heartbreaks to take another one because of false expectations.

" i- I don't like Thomas. I only invited him because he got stood up by his date " Draco replied irritated

" yeah so you swooped in became the nice guy and now he won't stop thinking about you and the next thing you know you both would be snogging each other off at office" Harry clenched his jaw finally looking up Draco's irritated face.

Draco stopped dead in his track out of disbelief in whatever Harry was saying, it was unlike him to say anything like that.

" he's not the one I like"

" right " Harry sarcastically replied raising his eyebrows before looking away from Draco to the side

" I - I can't believe you right now. Out of all the People you are not supposed to react this way " Draco pointed his finger at harry for emphasis

" me ? " Harry rolled his eyes

" yes you ! You are the last person to act jealous about me inviting Thomas over on the table. You shouldn't even be jealous of him" Draco's voice raised a little in annoyance, thankfully the streets were empty.

" jealous ? Why would I be jealous, there's no reason for me to be jealous, I'm just saying you have a good shot with him " Harry irritability said

" good shot- I - god - I can't believe you Harry. You think I should date him ?" He asked crossing his arms in front of him

" I don't see why not, he's nice and smart and cute and exactly your type" Harry clenched his fists on his side's..

" my type ? How exactly do you know my type Harry, or you're just assuming that just because I invited a guy over I want to snog him " Draco huffed closing the distance between them

" I know what' your type is-"

" no you freaking don't Harry. Thomas is not my type, you're my fucking type. You're the bloody git I like but if you want me to go off on date with him, I might as well do that because apparently we're never working out because you're never going to feel the same way " his voice broke with each step he took closer to harry but didn't let his emotions get the best of him.. " for you I'll ask him out on a date. It's time for me to move on anyways" Draco Whispered ,stepped back and walked by Harry. He didn't wanted to see Harry's face, he didn't wanted to see the face of rejection but above all he didn't wanted Harry to see him cry. Draco pushed his hair back as he started walking off alone thinking if this was really the end of it all until he heard the voice behind him.

" you're the stupid git " Draco turned around to see Harry walked fastly towards him

" me?" Draco asked annoyed

" yes you" Harry replied as he was almost face to face with Draco again

" Enlighten me why?"

" because you thought I never felt the same way-"

" don't make up rubbish -"

" you're stupid to think that I haven't spent most of life loving you, that all this time I've been so In love with you that I rejected every date I ever got asked for, you're stupid to think that all this time I didn't know you loved me the way I did, you're stupid to think that I'd let some other man take away the only man I've ever been in love with, you're stupid, you're stupid Because I'm in love with you, you're stupid to think that all this time I didn't make a move because you thought I didn't like you but the truth is I didn't make a move because you're too good to be true, Because I don't want to wake up one day and know that I don't have you anymore, because I don't want to lose you, because everything I've loved had been snatched away from me but I don't want that. You're so fuckin stupid to think all of that you stupid git " Harry Whispered tear Falling off from his left eye.

Stunned with Harry's word, Draco blinked away his tear and gave small laugh " I am a stupid git "

" but I want to be yours stupid git Harry, how long would it take for you to figure out. You're never going to lose me, there's nothing else left to lose to, you're the stupid git to think that I would wake up one day and walk away from the only best thing in my life. And you will be stupid to think that I haven't loved you every morning I've woken up. You are my first thought and my last thought Harry and I can promise you, you'd never, ever lose me"

" you promise ?" Harry choked on a smile with tears now rolling down his face.

" I promise" Draco smiled wiping off Harry's tears before cupping his face and kissed him..

Neither of them actually ever believed that love was magical, that a kiss can be so magical that you'd lose sense of where you are, that when you kiss Someone you love after so long feels like returning home. They didn't thought that kissing each other would be the best thing they'd ever done in life but when they did, they lost all sense of who they are, where they are and what they are and only remembered kissing each other. When they did kiss, they weren't on earth, they were in their own magical world where there was Only the two of them, and when they kissed it felt like they had been doing this all their life. Only they didn't realise that even after being so in love, they could still love each other more that they would want to spend the rest of their lives together one day, but that's about love, it surprises us.

15. Nobody can ever be you

No warning implied| unedited | Draco returns after rehab and therapy

" harry relax, he must've got out late alright. He might be here any second " Hermione comforted harry

" here breathe with me " Hermione encouraged him. Harry copied her breathing exercise, breathing on and exhaling out quite rapidly than her. Draco was late, he was supposed to come back 15 minutes ago but he wasn't yet here. It was not a big deal but harry was beyond worried.

" what if he doesn't like all of this ?" Harry asked biting his fingernails.

" I'm sure he'll love it harry. Stress isn't good for your health " Luna gave him a charming smile rubbing her palm on his back and just then they heart the lock twisting.

" hide " Hermione immediately whispered and everyone got in position, including harry.

The door finally opened and they heard someone walk in with some stuff.

" welcome back " everyone cheered as soon as they saw Draco turning on the lights. He immediately hit the back wall, all of his thing's dropping in the ground and splattered across. His face looked like he had seen a ghost.

" Merlin's fuck, you all scared the living death out of me " draco put a hand over his heart, his erratic breathing coming back to normal.

" we didn't mean to do that but surprise are supposed to give you tiny bit of a shock " pansy chuckled as they all gathered around draco who gave them a warm smile and started hugging everyone. When he came to harry, he hugged him the longest " glad to have you back " harry mumbled in the hug.

" we didn't mean to do that but surprise are supposed to give you tiny bit of a shock " pansy chuckled as they all gathered around draco who gave them a warm smile and started hugging everyone. When he came to harry, he hugged him the longest " glad to have you back " harry mumbled in the hug" we didn't mean to do that but surprise are supposed to give you tiny bit of a shock " pansy chuckled as they all gathered around draco who gave them a warm smile and started hugging everyone. When he came to harry, he hugged him the longest " glad to have you back " harry mumbled in the hug

" I'm glad to be back too " draco had replied and soon they both seperated.

" this is amazing " draco grinned.

" why thank you " Hermione smiled and they all soon broke into chatter about everything about the surprise come back party. Draco had been gone for 2 months for rehab and therapy. He assumed that after war things would slightly fall to normal but it went further downhill than it went during the war. His father was sent to azkaban, his mother put under probation for 2 year, he had to present for trials and testify only resulting in him under probation for 4 months but it came with so many problems, he had lost not only his manor but his family, respect and reputation. Wherever he went he was given so much hate that it took a toll on his conditions that draco turned to excessive drinking after recurring nightmares. It was about 6 months into his addiction when he met harry and 4 months of being friends with him when harry and everyone else insisting him to go to rehab and therapy. Wanting to get rid of his addictive habits, he did. The only problem was during his 2 months of rehab and therapy, he had met with nobody and seeing everyone here just made him well up.

Somebody must've helped draco put his stuff back into the room since harry got busy in the kitchen with Hermione and Luna for the food of the party while everyone outside just had their gala time outside, who weren't much people but a couple of their common friends, none out of the group.

" what's the conversation here about ?" Hermione asked as she happily put the trays down along with Luna and harry.

" everything really. I can't believe how much had changed in 2 months, I mean pansy in a serious relationship. My, my " draco laughed.

" think I liked you better in the rehab" pansy rolled off her eyes. Laughing with everyone harry plopped down in front of the sofa while Hermione and Luna sat down on the bean bag.

" she's not the only one " Luna gave a suggestive smile

" Ginny ?" Draco asked almost shocked

" uh huh " Luna grinned as she sipped on her drink.

" wow. This feels great you know. Everything. I am so thankful for everything you guys and for filling me in " draco smiled fondly at everyone.

" to us " Ron raised his glass, other's joining along echoing " to us"

The party faded into music and talking and watching movie when everyone grew tired and just laid there in the living room laughing about something every once in a while.

" now that you're out of rehab, do you think you will get back into the whole dating thing ?" Blaise curiously asked, his legs sprawled across over Ron's.

" actually " draco suddenly sat stiff, everyone looking at him attentively " in the last week of rehab somebody asked me out and I said yes so I think I'm already in the dating thing "

Everyone's eyes widened with surprise and suddenly pansy hooted " my boy is back in the game " they all fell into laughter. However suddenly harry was crouching further into himself, his legs pressed against his chest as he heard everyone talking about draco and the guy he had apparently agreed to go out with, which is in fact the reason why he was late, he had to drop him off at his place as a nice gesture. He felt the strange contraction pulling his Insides.

" mate, you good ?" Ron asked. Harry raised his eyebrows as if he was suddenly bought back into the moment.

" oh yeah, I'm good. Bit tired that's all" harry replied and gulped his drink and got up to go into the kitchen.

He was running his hands through his hair breathing shallow when Luna has joined him.

" I'm sorry harry" she gave him a sympathetic smile and rubbed his back slightly.

" what's going on ?" Draco had suddenly entered the Kitchen with empty trays

" oh nothing. We were just talking " harry replied. Luna immediately retracted her hands from Harry's back and gave draco a firm smile and offering harry a sweet smile before she exited.

" you don't sem so fine" it more of a statement than anything else

" just a little bit tired. Fresh air " harry curtly said before exiting the kitchen too, earning a frown from draco.

That night harry had abandoned his plans he spent the last one month planning on about staying longer than usual and finally confessing how he felt about draco but it struck harry that draco had never felt the same way harry did. Disappointed and embarrassed in himself he decided to never bring it up.

What harry hadn't expected was that he'd ignore draco so much that it was very noticeable. He didn't wanted to do it but it was Hermione's suggestion that if he might maintain distance, his feelings would soon fade away, which he desperately wanted but instead of fading, it was starting to make him more angry, jealous even Because apparently that guy was somehow the only thing he talked about. Harry would get the strong urge to roll his eyes and make Draco shut up about the guy but out of decency he never did. It was maybe him deciding a better option for moving on.

But as said, it was inevitable that draco didn't notice Harry's strange behaviour. They had barely talked ever since he had came back from the rehab and it was slowly killing draco because they used to be so close and now they didn't spent more than 30 minutes in the entire week, he even spent more time with Ron than harry. And to make it worse after draco had introduced everyone to Damian, harry was the one who took it the worst, he barely even conversed with the man he liked and it seemed as if so harry wasn't happy that draco had started dating. Angry with both the situation and harry, he barged into his flat one evening while harry was watching tv lazily.

" draco " harry stood up confused, turning off the television

" we need to talk " draco said sternly.

" I - I have somewhere to be in - well 20 minutes " harry said looking at the clock on the wall

" don't you dare lie to me harry potter " draco firmly pointed his forefinger at harry

Taken a back harry tried again " but I'm not lying "

" you are. That's all you've been doing since the time I've came back. Ginny ratted you out" draco threw his hands in the air. Harry could've said anything but caught in the lie he remained shut

" I need to know harry, what's wrong ?" Draco desperately said.

" nothing's wrong-"

" yeah if nothing's wrong then why have you been avoiding me all this time ? Is it because you're not happy I returned because if you are I'd cut -"

" Merlin no, fuck I'm so glad you're back. Why would you even think that " Harry's voice laced with concern as he eliminated some distance between them.

" then what is wrong? I deserve to know it. From the day I've returned you've barely spoken to me about anything and I can't stand that. We were so good before I went away but 2 months is all it took for you to forget what's it's like being friends with me-"

" what- no -"

" then what is it ? Please tell me, so I can fix it" draco desperately said.

Harry was crushed to hear the desperation in his voice, he was hurt, he looked like he was hurt by it more than he could've ever imagined it and it killed harry to know that he was the one hurting him " i- there's nothing to fix draco -"

"oh " draco whispered

" what no. No not in that way. Fuck I've made it worse. There's nothing like what you're imagining. I've- I've Just maintained some distance to figure things out alright. I wanted to talk to you after the party but I couldn't okay "

" why? What sort of things ?" Draco asked as he stepped closer

Harry's heart suddenly beat much faster than it had before. He wondered if Draco could hear it because he definitely could his heart frantic heart beat but seeing draco's expression he knew he didn't. How could he not, it was beating so loudly ?

" i- look- I don't when or how I started but i- I've been having sort of feelings for you. Maybe it was more because you were away and I didn't see you at all but when you came in and told about the guy from rehab, I figured you never felt that way and I just needed some time to let it die out you know. I swear these feelings will surely go away but I would just need some time and I wanted to talk to you about this the night you returned but you see I couldn't. I - I just, it's just a smal crush I'm sure. I hope it doesn't make anything awkward " harry explained feeling extremely out of control and stressed. Was it even possible for Harry's heart to beat this loud ?

" oh " draco's voice came out to small that it almost crushed harry. Maybe draco was disappointed or he didn't see it coming or that he definitely feel that way about him.

" I've screwed this up, haven't I. gosh I'm an arse-"

" no harry. It's fine. Just I never knew that.. I'm sorry- I should've just never barged in and everything- if I had only known " draco opened his mouth, maybe to say something but he closed it again.

" I'm sorry too. Hope this doesn't make things awkward for us. I know it'll all eventually go away, you're with Damian and everything so " harry rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

" oh- no no. I'm- yeah- I think I'll go " draco suddenly said

" what ?"

" I think I need a little bit of time to process all of it you know but I'm sure we'll be fine, right ?" Draco asked

" of course "

" do you mind then ? I'll- maybe we can talk later. This is just a little overwhelming you know " draco explained as he took a few steps back.

Harry was concerned but much more confused. He had no idea what he should've said or done but before he could've even acted upon, draco had already bid his goodbyes and ran, literally ran leaving a confused harry.. if not confused, he was sure he had screwed up so bad that draco wouldn't wanna see him for a while now.

Harry was still beyond concerned with draco's behaviour that he had called him almost 13 times, only to cut it within a few seconds and sitting down and standing up every five seconds. He was anything but fine and draco's absence didn't help at all. Ever since draco left his place hours ago, he was nowhere to be seen and nobody knew it and it didn't help Harry's worries at all.

Losing all hopes by 10 in the night, harry decided he'd go back to his place tomorrow and talk it out, possibly figure out a way to be together with each other without making it awkward but suddenly then his bell rang.

" draco " harry said confused for the second time in the day. But before he could've even allowed him in, he had barged in, shut the door behind him and immediately pressed his lips against harry's. At first harry was taken a back by the sudden kiss but soon dissolved in the moment, tip toeing to get more closer and wrapping his hands around Draco's neck. Harry had spent month's imagining how draco would taste like or how he would feel if he ever kissed him but it was all far from anything he had ever expected to feel like. He felt like he was on cloud nine, and how could someone taste so good and above all how Could someone kiss so passionately yet so tenderly. There was depth, something so addictive about the way draco kissed harry like he was conveying a message in that kiss which only fueled everything but they had both ran out of breath and unfortunately had to separate for air.

" wow "

" yeah " draco mumbled against his lips..

" took you 3 weeks after my come back to finally confess " draco mumbled again, not dropping his hands from Harry's waist and his forehead still pressed against harry's.

" actually months " harry whispered

" I'm finally glad you did " draco replied

" what about Damian ?" He asked

" I broke up with him. He could never be you, Nobody can " draco smirked

Biting his bottom lip, harry said " kiss me you fool "

" gladly " and draco kissed the boy he had been in love with since he was 18.

Day 14- a promise of forever | Day 16- sinful dreams

Here's the part 2

23. Ten times Harry fell for Draco

Prompt used - Carrying other in their arms| angst | hurt/comfort | unrequited love |

The first time harry felt that tiny flutter in his heart for him was when they were back in last year of Hogwarts. Harry and draco had been practicing flying on the broom after a random truce, but it had turned into a whirlwind of events. They had assumed it would just end at truce so that their mimicking bickering could stop but, Harry enjoyed seeing Draco ,he liked seeing Draco's hair flowing back, he liked seeing him smile at the sunset, he liked him sitting over the broom very still talking about his fantasy to for once touch the sunset, he liked seeing Draco laugh. He liked every moment of that day. As for Draco, he was opened up to entirely a new vision of life, opened upto new possibilities he had Only ever imagined, learnt that giving Someone a second chance can be one of your best decisions . And they didn't stop being friend's.

The second time harry felt the same flutter despite wanting it to simply die out was the time when draco had unexpectedly showed up at Harry's door after being gone for an year with no whereabouts. They laughed the night away in strange memories. Nobody talked about where had Draco been all this time, they didn't need to, Harry already knew.

( read below the cut )

The third time Harry felt it was the time he labelled it champagne problems because Draco had never seemed so beautiful in his entire life wearing that green suit on Blaise's engagement party. Harry was drunk, maybe in his beauty or champagne, he blames champagne and thus concluded that, that specific drink was the thing causing everything, even if it were a lie. It eased Harry's rapid heartbeats only if a little. He still remembers Draco from that night as if the night repeats itself every night, it was the day Harry had realised He had stolen away a lot of memories of how beautiful Draco looked and locked them away somewhere close to his heart.

The forth time harry felt it was when he saw Draco with teddy. The way Draco just naturally knew how to be with teddy, how to just play with, how to fool around him, The way they laughed when Draco did Muggle paintings with him or the way Draco made smiley shaped pancakes or the way Draco had recited the story with impactful impressions or they way Draco had rocked teddy in his arms until he fell asleep. He knew everything and he was miraculously great at it. He forced the flutter away when he walked him back to his flat but still remembers grinning his way back home, he simply couldn't stop Grinning.

The fifth time harry felt that way was when they had been drunk and stupidly went to a gay bar and danced the night away. Seeing Draco dance was feeling as if they were the only two people in the world and everything else around them had Just stopped , the music was just a blurred background and what was real was just them but when Draco abandoned Harry for a guy in the bar, he forced his flutter to simply die again. That was the first time the flutter came with a pulling force, a tiny heartbreak.

But the flutter never died, the sixth time harry felt that flutter was when Draco had stood upto himself in front of his parents and did so for Harry too. He fought with them until they understood that Harry had nothing of a gay influence on him. Although that night ended up with a lot of tears and screams and Draco abandoning his family, for a couple of years after that, Harry was simply love struck by his courage and cuddling with him only made the fluttering effect much more poignant.

The seventh time harry felt it harder, much stronger than before was during the mishaps on a crime scene. Draco had been injured by a curse Harry didn't know how to fix. He had carried Draco in his and bought him immediately to st. Mungo's. It resulted in a lot of chaos, not just in himself but with everyone else. Worried sick during those days, Harry was faceplanted with the fact that he had been unknowingly in love with Draco for so long and there was no reverse switch. Seeing Draco when he had finally woken up, Harry understood that he was in fact in love with Draco.

The eighth time harry felt the flutter again was when Draco had came broken hearted to harry after his breakup with the guy from the bar from 1 year ago. The night resulted in abrupt kissing between the two Before Draco pushed Harry away and just sat there shook. Forcing his feelings deep inside, harry consoled him, explaining him that it was just a little rock in the way they will eventually kick, that it was a mistake, a moment of weakness that's all. That night Harry bled with love.

The ninth time harry felt the flutter was when after having been single for so long, Draco had in a comical way said that he needed a man exactly like harry. He rolled it away with a laughter, a strange force pulling him down yet exciting that he knew If he were to ever ask him out, Draco might agree, after all who better than exactly the man he needed.

The tenth time he felt that flutter came back violently was when he saw Draco finally pronouncing his vows to the man he was finally getting married to who he loved the most in the world. Only this time the flutter was tragic, painful, excruciating, absolutely heart crushing. Harry shuddered a breath, imagining only for a moment himself in the other man's shoes, but only for a moment before wiping away it from his brain. This would be the last time harry would feel that flutter. He had lied before, that the night after his marriage Harry had to go to a small mission for 3 months but Harry wasn't planning on coming back, ever or at least until he knew he'd never feel the same way. It had to stop and running away from his feelings, from him was the only possible way.

" I'm sorry Harry " Hermione placed her hand on Harry's shoulder who's eyes were fixed on now that married couple.

" there's nothing to be sorry about mione. Should've been sorry if it had never worked out, there was nothing ever for something to ever work out " Harry told her with a warm smile, small tears forming in his eyes but Daring them not to spill.

She gave him a long hug knowing that Harry needed it now more than ever but he couldn't possibly react back the way he should've.

" Harry, just tell him. There's nothing anything that could possibly ever go wrong, he's already married now " pansy said from across the table, holding the same smile as Hermione's. Harry thought for a moment before nodding but never found the courage to ever say those words out loud. He had never been good with words but he wanted Draco to know. If this were the last time he'd see Draco, he needed him to know the truth.

Harry made his best man's speech before as a present he sat on the piano chair and started playing the song

.... " I hope he buys you flowers

I hope he holds your hand

Give you all his hours

When he has the chance

Take you to every party

'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance

Do all the things I should have done

When I was your man

Do all the things I should have done

When I was your man "

Harry looked up with his teary eyes at a shocked Draco, standing in the middle of the ground. Harry gave him a small smile before he thanked the crowd and left the place.

Harry didn't wait after that to see Draco. He left a little note in his flat for Draco, and apparated away before he could've been caught. He didn't know how much his already broken heart could've taken and facing draco Would mean never falling out of love with him, ever. He knew Draco needed answers but how do you explain someone you've been in love with for so long, why you loved them the way you did or why didn't you ever tell, how do you tell them that it was all self preservation from avalanche that would happen if confessed? You can't, so you fled away.

Draco went to Harry's place after his ceremonies to talk with him, but was only met with a short note on his table.

" you are my yellow Draco,

I'm just not yours.

So long my friend

Love, Harry "

Draco collapsed down on the bed crying and cried until he had none left. He never met Harry again after that, no matter how many times he sent a search party, he never found him.

Until..
