Harry looked down at his watch. 12:30, he thought. He's late.
Harry sat on the floor in front of the Room of Requirement. It was pitch black and empty in the hallway usually bright and bustling with students. He was waiting for him.
They had only gotten together a week before, and, since then, had had little contact with each other. Their only interactions had been heated glances in hallways and bitter-sounding arguments that hid affection. Harry was extremely nervous. Where is he? Did something happen? Did he forget? Was he hurt? Was he no longer-? Harry couldn't bare to finish that final thought.
Harry jumped, hearing loud footsteps and panting breaths. He prayed it wasn't Filch. Then he saw a tiny light of a wand held aloft. Harry hoped that it was him and not Creevy, or Ron, or Neville, or (God forbid!) Snape-!
"Harry!" came a rushed whisper. "Are you here? Fuck! Please still be here!"
He recognized the voice instantly. Harry ran to him, and threw the cloak over him as well. He covered his shocked gasp with his mouth and they kissed, needy and desperate.
Their lips separated slightly and Harry breathed against his lips, "I'm here." Then, as if it were possible, Harry drew Draco even closer and backed them both into the Room of Requirement.
