I'm starting off with something kind of general, to see if I can make the plunge into HP fanfic writing... This... is a songfic, because I need something to guide my thoughts. And. There's no backstory.... because really, this is just an exercise for me. Just uh.. assume that they're together.

Disclaimer: The song's by Aerosmith, and duh, Harry and Draco are from J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter.

[Missing You]

"I miss you already," Harry whispers to Draco, whose lean body lays beneath him. Both bodies are covered in a sheen of sweat.

"Mmph." Draco answers.

At this, Harry smiles softly. "Okay, fine. Sleep, if you must." He rolls off of Draco's body, propping himself up on an elbow.

Draco's body is lean and graceful, like a cat, even when sprawled out in sleep. He looks so small and delicate; one arm over his stomach, legs spread-eagled. He is the personification of beauty and vulnerability.

//I could stay awake just to hear you breathing,
Watch you smile while you are sleeping,
While you are far away and dreaming,
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,
I could stay lost in this moment forever,
Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure//

This was their last night together. Harry knew that. He'd known that from the beginning. He did. But that doesn't dull the rising panic inside of him. Tears well up in his emerald eyes, shards of diamond's threatening to fall. And then they do, plummeting harmlessly into the bedsheets.

He lays his head on Draco's shoulder, breathing raggedly, trying to soften the sobs racking through his body. In his mind runs a despairing mantra of /Iloveyou Iloveyou/ over and over again. His arm is suddenly gripping Draco to him, as if that would keep them together.

//I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep,
Cause I miss you baby, And I don't want to miss a thing,
Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do,
I still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing//

Twin blue eyes open, wrenching Draco back into reality. He feels Harry's warm body clinging to him, sniffling softly. He reaches the arm not trapped by Harry's body to his head, brushing the dark wisps back. Harry looks at him in a moment of surprise.

"I'm sorry. I woke you."

"Shh," Draco replies, moving so that he's straddling the other boy. His blond head moves forward, kissing the tearstreaks as his arm snakes behind Harry's head. Slow caresses soon become frenzied as they kiss passionately and desperately. This killing dance that they have perfected is followed through, in what each boy wishes is not the last time. Their bodies arch in pleasure, and in that fleeting moment, they can forget. But in the sweet afterglow the two bodies lay entwined, silently willing away the imminent daybreak.

//I just want to hold you close,
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment,
For all of the rest of time.//
