Of Dusk and Dawn - 366 Days of Romance and Tragedy

Tom x Harry


~~o-O-o~~


2. Bond

We're in our special place. The moon softly illuminates the sky, highlighting the twinkling stars surrounding it. Tom and I are laying on the ground, our black hair lost in a forest of green. Every so often, we can feel a slight tug on our skin; the telltale sign of a mosquito preying upon us. We don't hesitate to smack them, sealing their fate with a small thump.

Our hands are laced together, the fingers tapping out a faint beat against the other's skin. Aside from several chirping cicadas, we're alone. My mind is silent. Tom is the only thing I'm focusing on.

His big hands, his intoxicating scent, his beautiful eyes… My mind is completely consumed by him.

Shifting onto the side, I rest my head on his slowly rising and falling chest, peering up at him curiously.

"Do you remember when we first got together?" I ask him curiously. One red eye, previously closed, opens and peers down at me, a small smile gracing his lips.

"Utterly dreadful," he recalls fondly. "We were here, weren't we?"

"Yes," I agree, smiling. Tom may pretend to be disgusted, but I know he's just as happy as I am.

"Ugh, I told you I loved you," he groans in faux embarrassment. Laughing, I lean up to kiss him lightly on the kiss.

"You can't forget what happened after that, Mr. Riddle," I say, wiggling my eyebrows. Tom finally laughs, the sound carefree.

"Yes, we made love, right here," he recounts, happily tapping the ground. "You had been so adorable whining and begging like that…"

"Shut up!" I hiss, blushing. Tom chuckles. I can't deny how much I love it when he laughs.

"Would you like to bond with me again, Harry Potter?" Tom asks after a while. Groaning in relief, I launch myself forward, covering his entire frame.

"I thought you'd never ask!" I exclaim.

Amidst Tom's delighted chuckles and my own loud guffaws, I know I'll never forget this day.
