Chapter-2
Sudden Decision
"Ahem." Harry cleared his throat when it seemed that Draco just wanted to close his eyes and go to sleep. Very slowly, the silver eyes blinked open and Harry was so mesmerized by their beauty that he simply stared at them unblinkingly for a few moments. Harry was trying so hard to reign his escalating feelings for the blonde. All in vain though because the moment their eyes met, Harry was lost.
"Potter." Draco spoke softly and Harry blinked, his cheeks warming up. It was strange that Draco made him feel like a school boy mooning over his first crush. "Draco. Do you mind sitting at my table. It's just that my books are kept there and I need to study for the exams." Harry asked, his cheeks still warm and avoided Draco's eyes altogether.
"But Potter, I need to talk to you." Draco started and Harry looked at the blonde again. He was as beautiful and elegant as ever. Merlin only knew how he managed to look so bloody dashing all the time. Harry started staring again.
Draco's voice broke into his thoughts again "Earth to Potter." Silver eyes were gazing at him thoughtfully and somehow that frightened Harry. He did not want Draco to know anything.
"We can talk at my table. Um. Do you mind?" Asked Harry softly.
Draco shook his head "No. Of course not," and Harry spun around to walk towards his table. He knew that Draco would ask about his reasons but the thing was that Harry did not want to answer. He couldn't simply tell Draco that he fancied the git. That wouldn't go well. So he decided to just remain quiet for the time being.
They settled down and Harry kept his eyes on his book, trying to avoid Draco's eyes.
"Are you going to talk to me?" Draco started and Harry looked at the blonde reluctantly. Draco was looking at him searchingly and Harry had no answer to the blonde's question.
He was in luck because Lucius's sudden arrival rescued him. The door opened and in came Draco's dear father, his eyes glaring stonily at Draco's back.
"Damn." Harry swore and abruptly leaned forward and captured Draco's lips. His tongue licked Draco's lower lip and Draco was so bloody stunned that when Harry probed Draco lips for entry, they parted, thereby allowing Harry's tongue inside.
Harry's hand grasped Draco's blonde hair softly and with his other hand, he placed Draco's on his head. Draco's stunned eyes stared into his as he wrapped his tongue around Draco's and Harry realized that Draco would not respond unless Harry told him about Lucius 's arrival. He pulled back and mumbled very softly "Lu-" and then sucked Draco's lower lip. Bloody hell, it was plump and soft and delicious and Harry wanted to keep on kissing Draco forever but he pulled back yet again "-cius."
Draco blinked at that and understood Harry's meaning. His hand tightened in Harry's hair and then he started responding and merlin it was eternal bliss.
Harry did not want to part their lips ever again and the position was getting uncomfortable for him but he couldn't stop kissing. It did not matter that they were kissing to fool Lucius. It didn't because Harry was in love with Draco's lips and eyes and it was pathetic because Harry had decided not to fall for the beautiful git.
All good things have to come to an end though and they had to part because Lucius snarled, "Draco. What is all this?"

Draco had never experienced such a delicious kiss in his entire life. It did not seem that Potter was acting. No one could pretend to kiss so passionately and he wondered about Potter's reasons but he knew that Potter would not open up to him yet so he decided to remain quiet and enjoy Potter's delicious and wet lips for the time being.
He jumped when father snarled and lamented silently when Potter parted with a soft peck on his lips and looked into Draco's eyes. Green eyes were soft and warm and Draco had always known that Potter's face was too transparent. Just when he opened his mouth to answer father, Potter's lips returned very suddenly and kissed him hard, hard enough to compel Draco to touch his own lips and stare at the man in surprise. It was like Potter couldn't remain away from Draco's lips because it seemed that Potter wanted to kiss him again.
Green eyes looked irritated when Potter stood up to face father.
"Mr. Malfoy, must you always intrude. Draco is always going on and on about how you will punish him on realizing that he is keeping a secret relationship with the boy who lived. Couldn't you have arrived half an hour later? For a change Draco was not prattling about you." Potter growled.
Draco snarled indignantly, "I don't prattle, you enormous git."
"I am sorry but you do. " Potter snapped at him and Draco huffed in annoyance on the outside. He was actually stunned to see that Potter had such excellent acting skills but he schooled his features well enough to fool father.
Father was gaping very inelegantly at Potter. It was amusing to see father's mouth open and close like a fish and he wanted to laugh but he refrained because that wouldn't go well.
"Mr. Potter-" He started and Potter cut him off "Even when we are having our study sessions, he has to complain about you. Must you make our life so bloody difficult? Is it too much to wish for you to be prudent for once and do what is good for your son?"
" I love my son and-"
Potter cut him off again, continuing his rant furiously "I had wondered why he was not there for our study date today. I have not been able concentrate properly without him. He keeps me grounded and I have been so bloody restless today. I had not known that you had bloody forced him to meet a hulk."
Now this was perhaps the truth. Potter was always studying around him, whether it was the café or parks or library. His bright green eyes would gaze at him and then he would go back to his own studies. Father's eyes were angry and indignant and he wanted to argue but Potter went on nevertheless. Honestly Potter should have been a slytherin.
"Look, Mr, Malfoy. We have decided that we will save our respective inheritances for our children. We want to pursue our careers and dreams. You know that our exams are approaching. Must you distract his mind so very much. He needs to study and I need him around me to concentrate. Why are you always so bloody difficult? For once, try to make right decisions in your life and let him chase his own dreams." Potter went on and father was literally goggling at him, wide eyed. Draco could have spoken but he did not because he wanted to hear Potter.
Potter would claim later that he had lied in front of father but Draco could distinguish lies from honesty and he knew that Potter was being utterly honest. What Draco did not know was why Potter felt these things for him. Draco had always thought that Potter despised him.
"Harry let father speak. " Draco muttered and Potter spun around to stare at him. For a moment Draco wondered why and then it came to him very suddenly.
He had addressed Potter by his first name. Draco blinked twice and when Potter still kept on staring so he did the only thing that came to him. He pecked Potter's lips softly.
"Honestly Harry, you go on and on once you start. " He muttered and finally Potter came out of his stupor and looked at father.
Father was looking at Draco though and Draco looked back at him.
" What is all this Draco?" He asked after shaking his head and schooling his features again.
"He is my boyfriend father. " Draco muttered and peaked at Potter. What happened was completely unexpected. Potter suddenly moved towards him and settled on his lap. He stared at Potter in astonishment, their faces close and Father stared at both of them. Potter lazily wrapped his arms around Draco's neck and placed his cheeks on Draco's shoulder. Draco looked at his father, trying to keep his surprise away from his face.
" Will you leave Mr. Malfoy, so that we can get back to our studies. You have intruded enough." Potter asked father, his arse on Draco's thighs and his fingers playing with Draco's hair. Draco was feeling warm all over under Potter's ministrations and placed his hands on Potter's back.
Father was looking at Draco with crossed arms and Draco looked at him while murmuring "The cat is out of the box now father. As you can see, Harry is my boyfriend and I have to study. Harry can you please ask Kreacher to bring my books from my wardrobe."

"Of course. Will that be all Mr Malfoy? Please stop hounding and distracting my boyfriend. " Harry asked.
Lucius looked at them calmly and spoke " Meet me when you return home Draco. "
" I forgot to tell you Mr Malfoy that Draco is moving in with me today onwards. We will divide the rent among us and - " Harry spoke and Lucius finally looked at them with narrowed eyes, "I am not paying for this insolent brat. He can earn his own keep if he wants to go against my wishes."
Harry looked at Draco. He did not want to create an impression that Draco needed him to defend him so he kept quiet.
"All right father. I will earn somehow. Please leave. I will send Kreacher to pick my things. Thank you." Draco spoke and Lucius looked with steeled eyes at him "you are on your own now Draco. Good bye."
