Title: Love Bites

Author: Pat2

Rating: PG-13 currently, but is most likely to become R soon due to strong language and sexual content.

Coupling: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy---don't like slash, don't read!!

Summary: Draco Malfoy goes and visits Harry after the final battle of the war. As Draco begins to watch him, he starts telling the story of how it came to be this way and why he is there. Written in Draco's POV! WARNING: Slash—don't like, don't read!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of its parts like these 2 cuties, because obviously if I did, why would I write my stuff here and not in the books?!?! Oh and the song is "Love Bites" by Def Leppard and that's not mine either!! Lately I have had quite the obsession with this song lol.

a/n: this is my first shot at a slash fic so let me know how good it is or whatever. Every chapter will contain some sort of song whether it is all at the beginning, all at the end, or divided between the story parts. Between the song and story parts, I will always put ~*~*~ so you know. It really helps if when the song parts come on, you're listening to the music and then pause whenever the story comes...it makes it have much more effect!! Now here goes chapter 1...drum roll please...

Chapter 1: Lost in Invisibility

"If you've got love in your sights, watch out, love bites."

~*~*~

I watch him lying in that bed. You know those hospital beds with the gray, old curtains that hang on that rusting rack at the window and multi-colored worn wallpaper blanketing the walls. People always told me that you get to know a person by searching their soul. I can't help but cry at this. The boy, whom I had just figured out, rest here beside me, lifeless as a stone lying in its grave. I lean over and move a strand of his brilliant raven hair, just so I can stare at those perfectly shaped eyelids and dream of the emeralds that lay beneath that always seemed to make my heart leap. I just want him to wake up and see my eyes into his. He's changed me, and he doesn't even know it.

~*~*~

"When you make love, do you look in the mirror?

Who do you think of, does he look like me?

Do you tell lies and say that it's forever?

Do you think twice, or just touch 'n' see?"

~*~*~

I look down at his deathly-pale hand. The usual tint of The-Boy-Who-Lived has been replaced. I took in the way his knuckles were so perfect, and his fingers in its light fist look just like God had molded them that way. How could someone so beautiful been put through all this agony of pain?

~*~*~

"When you're alone, do you let go?

Are you wild 'n' willin' or is it just for show?"

~*~*~

Harry James Potter, The-Boy-I-Was-Too-Blind-To-See, was practically in his deathbed. I gently rest my hand over his. Forget all my past, after all with my Slytherin upbringing, touching a Gryffindor in such a loving way would be unheard of. I don't care anymore...I just...don't.

~*~*~

"I don't wanna touch you too much baby

'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy

I know you think that love is the way you make it

So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it."

~*~*~

I finally take his hand in mine, running my thumb over his knuckles gently. I despise all that had involvement in this crime against him. I want them to suffer and die slowly and painfully to death, even if I am a snake and he is a lion.

~*~*~

"Love bites, love bleeds

It's bringin' me to my knees

Love lives, love dies

It's no surprise

Love begs, love pleads

It's what I need."

~*~*~

I sigh and continue my circular movements of my thumb over his knuckles. I hate seeing him like this. I just want to see his perky smile and be the annoying little prat he always was, the boy I fell head over heels for. I am in too deep now. I feel trapped in his web of love.

~*~*~

"When I'm with you are you somewhere else?

Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?

When you wake up will you walk out?

It can't be love if you throw it about."

~*~*~

I start to wonder whether anyone ever notices him for who he was beneath his cover. He was the most amazing, fiery person I have ever met in my life. He never gave up. In fact, he was just like me.

~*~*~

"I don't wanna touch you too much baby

'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy.

Love bites, love bleeds

It's bringin' me to my knees

Love lives, love dies

It's no surprise

Love begs, love pleads

It's what I need."

~*~*~

He has to wake up. The more I stare, the more I need him, and the more I desire to be in his arms of warmth to feel the radiance passion of his honest love for me. He always gave me a reason to live: his challenge, his fire that he always burned within himself that always kept me lying in the mist of the smoke guessing whether or not what to do. His fire possesses my every being, my every thought. All I need is him, for all my life. He jumps, I jump. I'm too involved now. He dies, I die. I'll just live to see him because he's my hands and arms, I need him to carry me through, I love him.

~*~*~

"I don't wanna touch you too much baby

'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy. I know you think that love is the way you make it

So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it.

Love bites, love bleeds

It's bringin' me to my knees

Love lives, love dies."

~*~*~

I lean over his slender body and get a better look at my love. I smile softly and try to find exactly what I want to tell him. I mean, where to begin?

"Thank you for saving my life in more ways than you'll ever know. Harry, you have lifted me out of my grave and brought me to life, brought me to meet the devil of all eyes to learn the truth. I know I have always been the one to fight with you and be your enemy and I know you probably hate me, but the truth is...I love you, Harry. You're the only one for me. We are one already, we always have been. And I know you can't hear me, but I thought I'd tell you that."

~*~*~

"Love bites, love bleeds

It's bringin' me to my knees

Love lives, love dies

It's no surprise

Love begs, love pleads

It's what I need."

~*~*~

Little did I know, the boy whom I had just opened myself to, my dark-haired angel of my life, did in fact hear me...every scarlet fading word.

~*~*~

"If you've got love in your sights

Watch out, love bites

Yes it does

It will be hell."

~*~*~
