Genre – Angst

Format – 1st person

Couplings – Harry/Draco with Harry speaking was what I imagined? But it's pretty open ended so whatever you like really

Warnings – possible slash, illicit sexual relations, cynicism, angst

Other – This is a DRABBLE, don't read if you get pissed off at 100 word fics (well 107). Also if you can think of a better title tell me, I just couldn't get one to stick in my mind

Summary – Harry and Draco contemplate the after effects of the war

The After Effects

I love you; we say as our bodies and mouths connect, exploring and probing each others in moments of unrepented lust and passion. I love you; it's like a mantra, somehow tearing away the idea that what we're doing is a sin, because it's painful and unhappy and not at all what either of us think that we want. I love you; death has fused us together, loss has welded us, two worlds, two lives, two minds, one body and no heart between us.

"I love you" I say, as I walk out through the door and what scares me is that I think I mean it.
