This is another Harry Potter story I thought of for a while but never wrote it down. This does have Slash but I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer- I don't own Harry potter at all because if i Did voldermort would have died a long time ago and Fred and Cedric wouldn't have died.

Neville didn't really want to go to the great hall for dinner. He just wanted to go away and think in silence. So much has been going through his mind this year. It all started during the summer before school started. He was walking home when he saw a group of boys playing basketball. Skins vs. Shirts. He just started getting all hot and bothered and had no idea why. That has never happen to him before. Just as he was about to leave he saw one of the player turn around to look at him and gave him a wink. Neville stood their motionless for a second. He had this strong urge to walk up to him and place his lips on him. Neville shook himself from his thoughts and continued on his walk throughout the castle.

As he passes by pillar he saw someone sitting at the edge of one of the windows facing the lawn. Once he got a good look he saw that it was Malfoy. He wasn't sure if he should be running or pulling out his wand. He did neither but as he continued looking at Neville he noticed something different about him. He didn't look like his regular self absorbed evil self. He looked vulnerable and lost. Neville knew he should have just walked away but something was telling him 'No don't. Go to him.' With a deep breath, he slowly made his way to him.

Malfoy stood motionless. Neville couldn't tell if he knew that he was there or not.

"Ummm Malfoy" He calls out carefully. Malfoy jumps and turns to him.

Malfoy sat there frozen. He didn't know whether to be shocked that he was caught in an emotional state, Mad that he was interrupted or just ignore it.

"What do you want Longbottom?" He asks but turns back to the courtyard.

"Are you okay?" Neville asks hoping he didn't make a big mistake. Malfoy turns to him about to insult when he saw the state Neville looked. He looked lost and right now scared. Does he really scare that much people? He looked around and saw that they were the only two in the hall. Malfoy turns back to Neville and see he is still looking at him with concern. Why was Neville concern about him? Nobody cared if He was happy or not? They actually preferred if he was upset. So why did Neville care? He wanted to say that he wants to be left alone but that wouldn't be true. If there was one thing Malfoy was sure of, it was that he was tired of being alone. Maybe Neville wasn't so bad.

"I don't know. I just have a lot on my mind." Malfoy answers. Neville's jaw drops. Did Malfoy really just answers a question truthfully with no sarcasm? He was shaken out of his thoughts when he heard Malfoy chuckle.

"Is it really that big of a shock that I answered a Gryffindor?" Malfoy says with light humor in his voice. It made Neville smile.

"Yeah sorry." He says nodding his head and looks down. He leans himself against the wall next to the window sill Malfoy was sitting on. Malfoy looks back to the courtyard again.

"I know it's hard to believe but I'm really not a bad evil guy I'm just…. Complicated." He says and tilts his head to see Neville's reaction. Neville nods.

" I understand. Right now I'm going through a complication myself." He says with a sigh.

"Really? How do you deal with it?" Malfoy asks. He turns his body so he was leaning against the frame and his body was facing Neville.

Neville was really shocked that Malfoy wanted to have a conversation, especially a conversation about this, with him.

"Well right now I just usually take walks like these and think. I really needed to clear my head and I know that I could never do that in the great hall so I just started walking around but sometimes it would nice if I could have someone to talk to." He confess. Malfoy nods and looks down at his hands.

"I definitely know what you mean. It sucks when you can't talk to your housemates. It makes you feel like your suffocating but no one wants to hear you." Malfoy whispers. He was worried that he was being to open but like Neville says. Sometimes it would nice to have someone to talk too.

"I know it might sound crazy but if you ever wanted to talk, even if it's in secret or something I'm always willing to listen." Neville says hoping he could cheer up Malfoy sadden state.

Malfoy did look up with a look of surprise. "Really? You would be willing to listen to me after everything I did to you?" He asks.

"Look I know what it is like having a problem and being alone. I mean when you live with the boy who lived it's really easy to be over looked." When Neville mention Harry he saw Malfoy roll his eyes and had to bit down a laugh. "Maybe we can be that someone for each other and if not then we can just go back to suffering in silence and lonesomeness."

Malfoy almost had to smirk. He really did underestimate Neville. "I don't think everyone gives you enough credit Longbottom." He comments with a one sided smile.

Neville looks down and blushes. "So how about it? Friends?" He asks and stick his hand out. Then he saw the impossible. Draco Malfoy actually smiled at him and shook his hand.

In that moment two enemies became friends and let out their biggest secret. It turns out it was the same. They might be gay. Malfoy found out when he was in the shower after quid ditch practice. He usually doesn't look around but one day his eyes wandered and saw something he liked. He tried to shake off the feeling but it wouldn't go away after. When he heard Neville was going through the same thing it was a huge relief to him. He finally had someone he could go to because he knew that person will understand. They both laugh when their stomach growl and realize they probably should head to the great hall.

"Draco are you sure you want to walk into the great hall with me?" Neville asks. Draco smiles and nods.

"Don't worry Neville I'm a big boy. I can handle it besides they are going to see us hanging out a lot more now." Neville smiles at his new friend and nods. Draco really is a great guy once you get to know him. He stopped when he saw they enter the great hall and everyone eyes were now on them. He looked at Draco who looked at him and shook his head.

"These people really are ridiculous." Draco comments. Neville laughs and nods his head.

"Well see you tomorrow Nev." Draco says and slaps his arms and walks off to the Slytherin table.

"Alright. Bye Draco." Neville says and walks to his own table fully knowing he will be bombarded with question from his own housemates.

Well this is more like an introduction so you know how it all started. I will update as soon as possible I hope you enjoy it and will come back as it continues.
