23. Ten Times Harry Fell For Draco- Part 2

23. ten times harry fell for draco- part 2 

(Or ten times Harry fell for Draco but one time he didn't fall out )

Part 1

[i highly insist listening to this while reading to enjoy this rollercoaster ]

Until.. 

Until one day draco returned to his so called flat to find it unlocked. He took out his wand in self defense from whatever he’d face . 

“ who are you and what are you doing in my flat ?” draco asked the man his back facing him, looking over the discrete bookshelf 

“ your flat, mister you must be mistaken, this flat belongs to me “ and he finally turned around to face draco. 

It took draco several moments to pace back into normality before he realised who he was facing “ harry ?” 

The other man analysed draco’s face thoroughly before as if something flashed inside his eyes, the cascade of memories hit him. 

“ draco, its you “ harry gave a small smile in surprise 

“ i-i can’t-” but draco’s throat closed down, he couldn’t form even a single sentence, neither in his head nor his heart willed to respond 

“ its been so long “ harry mumbled as he closed the distance between them but draco immediately held up his hand to make him to stop 

“ how do i know its you ?” he said, wishing whoever it was would reveal themselves and stop playing with draco. He had learnt long ago that harry had left and that he’d never come back but when he have, he doesn’t want to believe. 

“ it is me “ harry shook his head lightly with confusion 

“ if you really are him, tell me something only him and me would know “ draco insisted 

harry scratched the back of his neck nervously before he spoke up “ everyone thinks your favourite colour is green but it’s a specific shade of green that only springs up in malfoy manor in the month of april, the kind of green that is so light yet so dark, the kind of green you’ve never seen anywhere but there “ 

Draco kept staring at harry knowing that it was only harry who knew this because there was never anyone else he could’ve said that to “ it is you “ he softly whispered 

“ told you “ harry grinned smugly. Draco wanted to just run in his arms and tell him how much he had missed him in all this he’d been gone but upon seeing harry there, he felt anger and heartbreak. The pain of seeing him again when he had prepared himself that he’d never see him again, the pain of seeing how much he has changed, the pain in not seeing him with tears like he had seen him last time, the pain for being so angry that he had showed up after so long that draco had almost given up, almost assumed the worst.

“ by the look on your face, you don’t seem so happy to see me “ harry narrowed his eyes, his arms in the air, confused. 

Draco wanted to throw something at harry but a much larger part of him told him being angry at him was useless, he didn’t even seem like the same harry anymore, the innocence harry’s face had one held was lost, the decency in his body was lost, even his words didn’t feel the same way anymore, it was almost as if it wasn’t his harry anymore, but he was .

“ where have you been for the past 7 years ?” draco’s eyes became glossy suddenly, he didn’t understood why but he had swore to himself long ago that harry would never be worth his tears. 

" i- what are you doing in my house ?" Harry questioned back

" answer mine first " Draco stubbornly said dropping thing's he bought over the table in the much seriousness of the conversation.

" if you promise to answer mine ?" Harry asked again raising his eyebrows. Harry had no right to question him this way, he wasn't the one who was missing, nobody gave him the right to be this way yet clenching his jaw Draco nodded, crossing his arms simultaneously.

" i- was on the run. A couple of years in Spain, Portugal, alsacce, and Manhattan.. now you go " Harry answered

Taking a deep breath Draco let go " when you First left, grimauld place still stayed yours until after an year later, it eventually became partially mine. For the longest time I thought you'd come back, when you didn't I kept it to myself and took care of it. There's not a lot of places like these "

The other partial truth was Draco lived here because it reminded him so much of Harry that he wasn't ready to let go. He lived in the house that insulted him as a reward for whatever he had put Harry through long ago but mostly because it felt like home, it felt like harry.

" so- you've been living here for how long ?" Harry asked curiously dragging a chair and settling into it. Draco flared, still not letting go of his anger,be wouldn't give him the satisfaction.

" it's my turn to ask a question " Draco reminded. Lightly smiling Harry told him to ask another question.

" did you ever come to Britain ?" He asked.

Harry's face softened, a moment of pain flashed by in his eyes before like a switch he turned it off " I didn't "

" your turn"

" 6 years "

Harry raised his eyebrows in surprise but didn't say anything else.

" why are you back ?" Draco asked without a hesitation. He didn't care if the words seemed straight forward or rude, he didn't care, he didn't care about Harry, but only he did so much.

" I'm tired " Harry sighed

" tired of what? Abandoning people ?" Draco spat slamming his hands over the table.

Harry was taken a back by Draco's sudden Outrage but chose not to act against it, he knew he deserved this " I'm tired of running"

Draco bit his tounge so as not to be outrageous again. Blinking for a moment, he took out juice box from the bag of things he bought and passed one onto Harry.

" your turn " Draco sighed as he pulled a chair too and sat in front of him.

" what's with the new look ?" He asked smirking

But Draco didn't wanted to have a fun conversation, Harry didn't deserve the fun side of Draco anymore, he wouldn't ever deserve it again " you can't stay the same forever. Everyone changes" Draco replied with a straight face.

Raising his eyebrows for a moment Harry sipped the juice in awkwardness " your turn"

Draco thought for a moment before finally asking " are you going to stay ?"

" yes " Harry replied smiling.

__________________

Months had passed since Harry had came back and Draco still refused to give harry the satisfaction to as much as even give him a smile. He told himself often that Harry didn't deserve it but everytime Harry didn't look at him, Draco melted his exterior and gave Harry the smile he had always thought he'd give him if he ever came back.

Harry had became acquainted with everyone once again, started teaching defense against dark arts at Hogwarts, went out on dinner's with people, his life had almost fallen back to normal but it didn't felt the same with Draco not being himself. Everyone told Draco to simply forgive him but he didn't. He told them he didn't deserve his forgiveness. Harry understood the madness but it was causing the same heart wrenching pain Draco had once caused but only this time Harry was stronger than before and didn't let it become a hindrance.

Their questions trivia became a small once in a week tradition, they kept all the questions general, some funny, some related to Harry's past but this one specific night of 4th of October took a turn when Harry had came to the grimauld place late for the trivia night.

" you're late " Draco said without any emotions sitting over the usual chair with the usual drink.

" uh- yeah I was- well out " Harry announced as he took off his shoes and took his usual spot.

" where ?" Draco asked curiously.

" well- I- look draco don't be mad at me but you've been pretty cold to me ever since I came back and I am sure I deserve it but you haven't been quite a pleasant man"

" where are you going with this ?" Draco rolled his eyes

" I've been going out with someone and I was out on a date with him. I didn't wanted to tell you because well you just haven't been quite interested in me like before anymore" Harry replied. Draco chewed the inside of his cheek, took a sip of his drink and began

" I don't see why you couldn't had just told me. I am pretty sure we could've adjusted our much less important plans to some other nights so you could spend time with your- is he your boyfriend now- alright, then your boyfriend " Draco said after recieving a nod from Harry.

" i- it's not like that, I do like these night's Draco, it's just - you're just-"

" pretty rude? Cold? An asshole ? Insolent dick ? Much less Caring? " Draco raised his eyebrows in mockery.

" I didn't-"

" but that's what you think, isn't it Harry ?" Draco asked. Harry sighed before nodding

" but it's Only because you are making yourself this way. I know you Draco and I know this isn't you -"

" well Harry you weren't here for 7 damn Years, I'm not who I used to be anymore. And you don't know me and wanna hear another shocking fact, you're not yourself either " Draco snapped and stormed out of the place.

Harry didn't run after draco, he couldn't even if wanted to because he was right. They weren't the same people they used to be anymore.

And that was the end of their trivia night's. They only remained acquaintances, they only waved each other a small high crossing the halls or only nodded at each other whenever met in some unusual situation, they didn't even get along anymore at any of Hermione's movie nights with everybody else.

It was a similar fine Saturday evening at Hermione's place when Harry had invited his boyfriend, drake.

" you're the man ?" Draco asked as he shook his hand violently.

" uh yeah- Harry's told me a bunch about you" Draco looked at harry who refused to meet his gaze.

Draco gave the man a small smile before leaving his hand and walking away and sitting down next to Ron and started talking about the quidditch match.

Frowning Harry assured drake everything was fine and invited him to simply join for the movie. To say the evening was definitely not pleasant. Draco didn't like drake even a single bit, he ignored him or if he couldn't, he only vaguely answered him. He refused to tell him anything about whatever he did or whatever he was going to do or whatever he is doing. More so often he messed up his name. If all of this was done purposely, Harry didn't know but he sure had enough of Draco.

When everyone departed and walking back homes, Harry quickly got hold of Draco and apparated them back to grimauld place.

" next time, tell someone if you're apparating them or they'll splinch themselves. I'm sure you're aware of the Ill effects of disapparating or you've even forgotten that ?" Draco asked Coldly walking into the living room

" this is enough " Harry snapped

" really? What is ? By the way mind me, why have you apparated us here, I'm sure you must have a boyfriend to look forward to and I have a lonesome home to look forward to" Draco vaguely answered.

" you know what I'm talking about Draco. This is enough. You treating me like shit " Harry almost yelled frustrated

" treating you like shit ? Pardon me but I think my actions are quite valid " Draco furrowed his eyebrows

" what about this is valid ? You had no Right to treat the man I like like shit, he did nothing but to make him like you and all you did was fuck it up for him and it's not even just about him, at first I understood your behaviour but now it's just irritating, the way your are. It's like you're not even the same person anymore " Harry yelled throwing his hand in the air

" well I'm not Harry, I'm not the same person anymore. You don't get to say that however I am is invalid because you Weren't here to see me go through my shit. And me liking drake or not doesn't change anything. I may never like him but he'd still be your boyfriend. My opinion doesn't matter " Draco snapped back

" your opinion doesn't matter ? You're my best friend-"

" was, I'm not you're best friend anymore. I'm nothing to you anymore " Draco yelled back pointing his finger at harry and just then they heard a thunder from outside. The wind outside howled loudly, the open window fluttering loudly. The sky outside turned the beautiful shade of saddening grey. They both looked out for a moment before Harry went and locked the window.

" I don't understand -"

" what don't you understand Harry ? We're not the same people anymore, why is it so hard for you understand ?" Draco snapped again. The lightning broke outside and suddenly it started pouring down.

" what went so wrong that you can't be with the same way you're with everyone else!! I left big deal Draco, you don't see Ron getting all worked up about me leaving and coming back. Sure everyone was mad at me but none like you " harry bellowed

" you- I can't believe you. Ron doesn't get worked up because Hermione told him not to. He wanted to break your fucking face when you came back but you want to know right, you Want to know why it's different for me- well here you go then- it's because you left without so much so a word. A damn bloody note, this fucking letter " Draco angrily yelled, violently taking out his wallet from his back pocket and showing the small parchment.

Harry angrily took the note away from him and read it out loud " you are my yellow, I'm just not yours, so long- you- you're still carrying it " Harry softened up immediately

" yes i carry it everyday and you want to know why because my fucking best friend lied to me, left a fucking note after singing a bloody song about confessing love for me and Never came back. I'm mad at you because you abandoned everything, you Ran away without a fucking goodbye to any of your friends, without a fuckin goodbye to teddy. You know what you're an asshole, that's what you are. I was here all by myself when my life was going shit, when everyone fucking left me because they got busy with their own lives,when the only man I thought I loved didn't love me anymore because he said I was too attached to someone who left me,when my father fucking died, when I was framed for a scandal I didn't commit and was put on parole for 6 weeks, when I needed Someone so desperately, when I needed my best friend so much but he had left, but then you show up here after 7 year assuming that one day I'd forgive you, you're wrong. I won't forgive you because you're a bloody asshole who confessed you had been love with me for so long but left as soon as you made a confession. You didn't care to ask me if I ever felt the same way you, because you're an asshole. I spent years loving you ,I waited everyday by this fucking door hoping one day you'd finally show up but you never did until I lost every hope- I th- thought you were dead " Draco's tears spilled down his face until he choked on his words. He broke down pushing his hair off his face, letting go, breathing harshly to come back to normal breathing, to realise he had actually yelled it all out loud. He had tore down his final wall.

" yo- you have no right " Harry Whispered after a few moments

" what ?" Draco asked confused

" you had no right to love me. You have no right to love me " Harry spoke, his eyebrows etched to the center

" yeah ? Well you didn't had the right to love me either Harry " Draco rolled his eyes

" no, you have no right to love after what you'd done to me. You- you were the reason I ran away from Everyone" Harry raised his voice

" me ? Oh so I was that cruel to you, right ? Because I don't remember you ever confessing to me " Draco narrowed his eyes

" yes you. There was always someone or something kept pushing you away. I spent years loving you and you not once checked, not once cared for me. Do you know what it feels like to see Someone you love get along with Someone. You wouldn't know what it's like to fall so hard for Someone and kiss them one and they push you away. I waited so long for you Draco, you have no right to love me anymore. I did my waiting and I've moved on. I don't care. I couldn't keep falling for someone who got off married to Someone who was exactly like me but not me. I've moved on from you draco and I suggest you do the same. Because I'm not in love with you anymore, I did my loving. I won't love someone who hurt me anymore " Harry snapped letting go of his tears, his face become instantly wet with the confessions he had held on for long so dear to his heart. It was like a weight had been lifted when the rain outside now Poured down more heavily.

" well good for you then Harry, you won't love me anymore because you've moved on. You can love drake I don't care. I can't care. If this is my punishment for not knowing how you felt all those years then be it, I'd rather suffer with it my whole life for treating you the way I did but remember one thing Harry, if you ever marry that man I will never show up because I won't be able to see you getting married off to someone I know isn't me. It's my fault I fell for you, and I'll deal with it. Goodbye " Draco snapped, handing Harry the note and storming out without an umbrella. Harry heard the front door shut angrily and fast heavy stomping outside.

He closed his eyes, sat down at the nearest couch, pinching the bridge of his nose. Frowning he felt his face still wet, he was still crying and he couldn't stop anymore. He wiped it off and off but nothing worked, so he let them fall. He looked at the crumpled note in his hand. He read the note over and over again until a tear dropped on the note. He remembered the days he spent away from him crying for just Draco's mere presence, he remembered all those moment with Draco he missed, he missed the smile on his face, he missed his wet musky cauldron smell, he missed laughing off together nights away, he missed the way things used to be, he missed him. He was here and he missed him. And just like that Harry let his last wall drop and ran outside angrily shutting off the door.

He ran down the street searching for the only man he had ever loved. Running turns after turns Harry saw only one figure walking ahead of him.

" Draco " he yelled

The man turned around and harry ran fast towards him until he was only a few centimetres away.

" what, came here to yell at me again, was that not enough ?" Draco huffed out crying, it was raining down so heavily but harry still knew when Draco cried. He still knew Draco the way he used to, he just needed to find him again.

" you had no right to love me back after all this time. I had moved on from you but you- you big screw up had to ruin it for me " Harry replied water dripping down his face

" so what, you came to tell me this again? Look-"

" no, I came here to do this " Harry said and pulled draco closer to him and pressed his lips against Draco's. Shook for a moment Draco pulled away, searching a look of hesitation from Harry but upon met with none, he kissed him back. Harry wrapped his arms around Draco's waist, finding way inside his jacket. Draco put his hands in Harry's hair and pulled him closer. None of them had ever been kissed like before. Harry poured every ounce of memory, every single time he had fell for Draco, every single time he saw him smile, every single time when time stopped around them just so he could look at draco, every single time he wanted to kiss Draco into that one deep kiss. All those years of waiting met with a charming, magical kiss in the rain.

" fuck, I missed you " Draco Whispered against Harry's lips.

" I'm sorry " harry cried, instantly hugging Draco.

" I'm sorry too " Draco sniffed hugging Harry back.

" I missed you so much Draco " Harry confessed. He pulled away to get one final look at Draco and smiled and finally received that one smile Harry had waited months for seeing.

" Draco, I fell in love with you when we were kids and I've never fell out of it. I don't think I want to " Harry confessed.

Draco smiled " I've loved you in my memories Harry. I've loved you for 7 years and I want to love you for so much longer "

Harry nodded, smiling and kissed Draco once again. The wind howling had slowed down and the rain had finally turned into a slow romantic pace as if the universe had finally looked down upon them and was finally happy. The universe was probably so Happy that in coming April the green grass had came earlier and Lasted longer because it knew that green was Draco's favourite, it was the colour of Harry's eyes and his eyes were like coming home, finally at last.

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.

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..

prompt used - falling asleep on other’s shoulder | fluff| Day 21

“ potter “ draco nodded as harry walked with notebooks in his hands to the staff room, being morning it was pretty empty 

“ malfoy “ harry nodded at draco and sat down in front of him  

“ how’s the morning coming along ?” he asked with a warm smile occasionally drinking his coffee after having it miss this morning due to an eventful morning.

“ well there was a mass murder in the bathroom this morning but other than that really pleasant" harry gave him a little head tilt with a little smile.

“ really ? what was the mass murder of ?” draco chuckled leaning back in his chair to listen to harry’s interesting morning story 

“ mosquitoes. apparently my very attractive irresponsible husband left the window open and it welcomed the entire narnia of mosquitoes “ harry answered 

“ oh well, i’m sure he did it by mistake but rest in peace to all those mosquitoes” draco chuckled 

“ how was yours ?” harry asked smirking 

“hm, well eventful. It’s our anniversary so breakfast in bed before work and well you know the rest. Love these anniversaries “ draco bit his lip before giving harry a wide grin 

“ ooh anniversary, what have you planned ?” harry narrowed his eyes in a sneakish way 

“ oh just a bit of this, a bit of that. surprises you know. Don’t want to go about spilling the beans. Its a secret between me and me” draco smirked and finished the rest of his coffee 

“ potter, malfoy, to classes “ Ms. Mcgonagall walked by announcing them to cut their chatter and they did so. The rest of the day harry and draco Passed by each other a lot offering each other small smiles.

" sir is it true that it's your 6th anniversary?" A student asked in Draco's class abruptly.

" well I don't see how it's in the reference to whatever I've given you to write about " Draco answered searching for the voice

" cut them a slack Mr. Malfoy, they're merely being curious like everyone else including me " Harry walked in from the back door Grinning

" well If that is the case- yes it is true. It will be my 6th anniversary as of now " Draco raised an eyebrow at harry

"professor forgive me but if it's your 6th anniversary then you must be giving them something really special right ?" Asked the same voice but it was no lie that the entire class was curious.

" yes but I think it will be about time you focus on your work while I give Mr. Potter a word about interrupting my classes " Draco raised from his chair, Harry following him outside.

" how may I help you Mr. Potter ?" Draco asked in a professional way.

" well- I just came by to inform that today's meeting have been moved forward " Harry told him.

" well that works in my favour " Draco tilted his head in surprise but not entirely surprised , he expected It if anything.

" I must say your lover sure is a Lucky person " Harry smiled

" I think your husband is as equally lucky " Draco smiled. Lingering in the moment for a smile, Harry walked back off to his office with a little grin.

When the day came to an end, harry was busy stacking things up over his desk and drawers when he heard a little knock on the door and saw Draco leaning over the door.

" 2 minutes " he smiled. Harry looked up at the watch on the wall before he walked towards Draco and dragged him inside.

" 1 minute "

" 10 seconds "

" 2 seconds "

And then Harry pulled him closer, closing the door behind him and kissing him over the lips.

" I missed you " Harry mumbled against his lips

" you saw me an unusually lot Harry" Draco smiled not moving an inch apart

" well I missed my husband " Harry said as he gave him a chaste kiss again to show how true his words were

" in that case, I missed my husband too but I think I like professor potter better, he's got a- well nice ass " Draco chuckled creating a little space to grab Harry's ass just a little

" lucky for you, we're both the same people or you would've been a dead man " Harry chuckled intertwining their finger's together

" like the mass murder in the bathroom this morning ?" Draco laughed . Joining along in the laughter, Harry nodded.

" come home after 15 minutes, get dressed and follow little white notes okay. See you soon babe " he spoke so fast that Harry barely understood a word but he left faster than he had spoken leaving Harry excited and confused.

Just like Draco had said, Harry returned home 15 minutes later, freshened up, got dressed and finally started finding little white notes. The first one he found quite easily right over the mirror.

" find me where you know I hate those little rings "

Harry thought for a moment, wondering about wherever he hated the rings but Draco loved them. And suddenly just then his eyes fell upon the glass of water, a coaster beneath it. The ring Draco hated, water rings. He immediately ran out to the living room and looking over the coffee table.

" found it " Harry Whispered to himself picking the little white note from beneath the coaster. He went one after another notes, taking his time to solve the riddle and swearing Draco for the most part for doing something like that.

He finally reached the last note reading it only one and figuring it immediately

" meet me where the green had never looked so good and the storm had never raged "

Painting Harry reached the Richmond hill, London, a patronus waiting for him right there. He followed the little light, leading to Draco who was staring over the hill enjoying the view. He must've crushed a stick Because immediately turned around

" damn you're slow" Draco chuckled as he saw Harry

" hey I got confused with the 2nd and 3rd one, I figured the last one pretty easily, also 6 years into relationship you should know that I'm shit at riddles " Harry told

Shaking his head with a little smile Draco continued " you remembered ?"

Harry furrowed his brows with a little surprised smile " what? You thought if it were the 4th date, I wouldn't remember it! The green never looked so good and the storm had never raged? It was the easiest one, I remember everything draco. You told me that night that green-"

" is your favourite colour because of my eyes-"

" is my favourite colour because of your eyes" they said simultaneously. Smiling at the verbal connection Harry enclosed the distance between them.

" your eyes still just as beautiful as they were that day " Harry Whispered smiling.

" they still vary colour everyday " Harry added

" well If you could only see you from my eyes. You'd understand why it does it everyday " Draco smiled putting his arms Around Harry's waist, fondly looking in Harry's eyes which glowed with little yellow freckles because of the reflection of the lights Draco had decorated the place with.

" thought you said it's a pureblood thing ?" Harry frowned putting his arms around Draco's neck

" it is. But it varies colours because each day I look at you in a different way than I have before. One for each day I have loved you so long " Draco smiled. With a flick of his wrist, Draco turned on the slow music, I'm yours by Jason marz playing slowly over the radio.

Harry was left speechless, finding it hard to describe in words how much more he loved Draco but he suspected that even if Harry's eyes didn't change colour each day, Draco knew that Harry loved him in ways he'd never loved anyone else and probably would never love anyone else more. Smiling Harry put his head over his shoulders and started swaying. lightly to the music.

" I remember this song playing from the car parked not far from here " Harry Whispered

" I think it suits well for both of us" Draco mumbled tightening his grip around Harry's waist.

Harry smiled knowing Draco was smiling just like he was. 6 years of being together yet they loved each other just like they had loved one another when they first confessed their I love you's, the same way when Harry was away for the first Christmas, the same way when Draco was banished from malfoy family, the same way when Harry was away for a mission for 2 months, the same way when they loved each other during and after the first fight, the same way they had felt on the day of marriage and had promised to love everyday till death part them. In a way just like million others this song was also Just their own and they found it quite nice to having been a part of something they chose to belong to even if it also belonged to the rest of the world. In trillions of moments, the song by Fate had played in that moment but they were 2 simple boys having no choice bought together by fate, and had they never regretted it.

And for the second time in the entire life they spent together, in the moments of revelation, the song played for the second time

" and the world said we'd never make it through " Draco smiled staring up at the sky at the stars, Harry's head over his shoulders, his face nuzzled in Draco's neck, cuddling comfortably.

Harry hummed in response, his arms hung loosely around Draco's body. It was not long after when Draco heard Harry's light snoring. Smiling to himself, Draco retrieved the blanket, covered both of them us and slept peacefully, just like he did for the rest of his life for he never loved anyone like he did Harry, he didn't had to. He was enough; more than enough if so.
