Picking up the pieces

Seamus tried to hold back his tears as he held the picture behind his shaking hands. The picture had only been taken a couple of weeks ago but it seemed like a distance memory, a memory which he would lock in the back of his mind. Shaking his head he tore the picture in half and let it fall into the plastic bin which he was sitting next to in the empty class room. Pulling his wand out of his pocket he aimed it at the picture muttered a simple charm and the picture burst into flames, the two smiling faces disappeared as the flames licked at the paper.

"I have more then one copy," someone whispered behind him, knowing who it was Seamus refused to turn around and show the other guy that he was clearly upset.

"I will just do the same with the others then," Seamus replied dryly, praying that his voice wouldn't crack.

Feeling the other guy coming up behind him, Seamus stiffened his own body tightening his grip on his wand. No one else had this sort of effect on him, only Draco could cause him to feel like this, one moment loved the next like a piece of dirt.

"I know why your upset," Draco whispered placing his hands on either one of Seamus shoulders.

"Oh yea, really?" Seamus replied unable to move away from Draco's hold.

"Yea," Draco laughed, "You saw me and Pansy hug and once again you jumped to conclusions…."

"She was about to kiss you, I'm not stupid Draco, everyone knows she wants you, everyone thinks you will make the perfect couple and no one can understand why you don't get with her," Seamus snapped finally able to pull away. He didn't care if he Draco saw him cry how, he was truly hurt and he wanted Draco to see how much he was in pain.

"True," Draco replied, "But if you stuck around instead of running away like a little girl you would of seen me pushing her away…god Seamus you really wind me up sometimes, you want us to work but you never trust me…."

It was Seamus turn to laugh this time, slamming his fists onto the nearest desk, he shook his head in amusement, "Can you blame me, it was only a couple of months ago that I found you making out with her by the lake…"

Getting tired of the conversation, Draco turned on his heels and left the classroom ensuring to slam the door behind him. Watching him walk away, Seamus let his body sink into the nearest stall and then let his head fall onto the desk with a thud. How long he stayed like that he wasn't sure maybe minutes maybe hours, but he finally felt a pair of slender arms snake around his midway and a head resting on his neck.

"I'm sorry, Seamus" Draco explained in a soft voice, "I understand where your coming from and I do understand but you need to understand that I don't want Pansy, I never have and never will, you're the only guy for me Seamus!"

Seamus lifted his head up a bit so that he could turn it to the side allowing his lips to collide with those of Draco. This was Seamus favourite part the making up after a big argument, it kind of made the fall outs worth while, there was nothing better then make up kisses. As they pulled away, Draco reached into pocket and pulled out a picture before placing it in front of Seamus.

"This one is for keeps, please don't burn it," the blonde explained with a laugh.

"I promise," Seamus replied before kissing his boyfriend again this time will a lot more passion.
