I forgot to mention in the first chapter that the loft Harry and Draco share is based on Queer as Folks, Brian's loft. This next chapter was slightly, very slightly, based on the ice cream kisses shared by QaF's Brian and Justin in season one. Enjoy.

I disclaim.

**************

A week later found London in the middle of a sweltering heat wave, and Draco Malfoy, lover of Harry Potter, the Man-Who-Defeated-The-Dark-Lord, walking around the loft he shared with is lover in nothing but lose boxers in way of trying to relive himself of the heat and boredom, as it was too hot to work on his potions.

He had already flicked through all the channels on the television that Harry had bought when they moved in, grew bored, then tried taking a shower to wash away the sweat that had accumulated since his shower earlier that morning. After he had gained what little relief the shower gave him, he tried going on to Harry's laptop. However, he still had troubles with muggle technology so that idea was short lived.

He tried finding a movie; none of them looked very appealing.

He tried cooking a cool lunch of a crab salad, to find that he had no appetite.

He even tried taking a nap but couldn't get comfortable enough in his and Harry's large bed, even with the fan on high.

Throwing back the dark green sheet, Draco made his way down the few stairs from the bedroom to the main living area, and walked to the fridge to take a peek inside. Besides the homemade lemonade nothing was appealing in the fridge, so Draco opened up the freezer.

There it was. His ice cream.

Now, after the 'major-queen-out', Harry's words not Draco's, earlier that week Draco had resolutely stayed away from the cool sweet substance. But as the days went on he found his willpower waning.

"Ah, bugger it." Draco said and reached inside the freezer for the carton of vanilla ice cream. After putting a few scoops into the bowl, Draco put the carton back and glanced at his confectionary treat and decided something was missing. After thinking for a few seconds Draco reached to the top cupboard over the sink and took out a candy bar from Harry's secret stash of emergency muggle candy.

Draco then cut up the candy bar into bit sized pieces of chocolate, caramel, and peanuts topping off the ice cream with them.

Grabbing his bowl and spoon Draco made his way over the chaise that sat in front of one of the wide windows that looked down into Muggle London and the River Thames shining beautifully in the, finally, setting sun.

Draco was just working on his fifth bite of his sweet treat when the loft door slid open and Harry, dressed for the weather in baggy jeans and a white t-shirt, strolled in and placed his messenger bag and shoes near the door.

"Hello, love," Draco said around his mouthful of his cool treat.

Harry, spotting Draco's half eaten bowl of ice cream, smiled slightly and said, with a chuckle, "Mm. Hello. What is that you're eating?"

Draco glanced down to the bowl resting on his bare stomach and grimaced. "Nothing."

Harry laughed. "Well, that lasted long." Then strolled past Draco to the bedroom to change, then walked back into the main area of the loft, now more comfortably dressed in cut off gray sweat pants and the same white t-shirt, Harry made his way over to his blonde lover and straddled his lap facing the man now giving him a look daring him to say anything even rhyming with 'stretch marks'.

Harry smiled sweetly and leaned in kissing Draco on both eye lids before placing a chaste kiss on his delectable lips, still sticky sweet from the ice cream. "Willing to share?" he said with a grin bordering wickedness.

"Hmm. I may be persuaded," Draco said smiling slightly with a glint in his eye, "But, you see, it's so hot. And ice cream was the only thing that I could think of to relieve the heat."

"Ah. Well, now that I'm home, let's see if we can find another way to," Harry paused, "beat the heat." Then he stood up and offered a hand to the blonde. "How about a shower?"

"I've already had two since you left for work." Draco said with a slight shake of his head.

"I'll make it worth you're while. I promise." The brunette said, with his hand still reached out towards his lover.

Draco smiled and gave in. As he was pulling Draco up, Harry glanced down at the mostly melted ice cream. As he was walking, hand in hand, with his lover towards the bathroom he leaned in towards his blondes hear he whispered, "You know you owe me another candy bar, right?"

****

There. A little bit longer the first chapter. I realize that Draco is a pureblood wizard and he could have just done a cooling charm, or something of that sort, but that would have defeated the purpose of the plot.
