In the Silent Night
A slender figure stands by the window, looking out into the dark night. Snow is falling but inside, the fire crackled merrily.
A door opens. Someone else comes in. The figure ignores the door, not bothering to see who it is who has come in. He knows who it is.
"It's late. What are you doing still up? You need your rest, Draco," said the newcomer, even as he walked up to Draco, and wrapping his arms around him.
"It's snowing," said Draco, even as he lifted his arms to cover the other's arms with his.
"Ah." A sound of understanding. A pause. A companionable silence followed.
"The New Year is upon us," said Draco, breaking the silence. "Only a few more minutes now."
"Time flies, does it not?" said his companion bemusedly. "Who knew that we would be where we are now?"
"Yes, it has been an amazing year." A pause. "Do you regret any of it?"
"No."
Turning Draco around, his companion kissed him with quiet passion. "How could I regret this?" His hands caressed the tiny bump on Draco's abdomen, his ring glinting in the firelight. "How could I regret what has happened that led us to be more than what we were?
"I never knew I was incomplete until I met you."
Draco smiled up at him, eyes filled with love. "It was fate that led me to you. Who could've dreamed? We were such enemies when we met."
The two shared a tender look, even as the clock chimed midnight.
"Happy New Year, my love," Draco whispered, leaning into his lover's embrace. "May the coming year be as good to us as it was last year."
Grinning, Harry said, "Happy New Year. I just hope it wouldn't be as hair-raising as the last." Looking down at Draco, he continued, "I love you, Draco."
Smiling gently, Draco met his gaze before they both looked out the window again, the pure white snow still falling softly.
This little piece of fluff fermented in my brain while I was reflecting on the new year. Happy New Year to all. To a happy and fruitful 2011 to all my readers. Thank you for supporting us. Please review.
