Cupid's Kisses

*A/N*

Still dedicated to the one and only Graco :)

Blaise looked around. The familiar and comforting smell of the Hogwarts Express didn't bore him like it usually did. Today it contained excitement, happiness and love.

He felt the train lurch as it started to pull away from the station, and he edged his way through the maze of first year students that were eagerly waving out of the window at their loved ones.

Blaise's own mother had given him a cool kiss on his cheek before turning away, signing whatever piece of parchment had been thrust at her by a over-eager fan. He was used to that kind of second-hand, second-rate love.

That's why being with Draco was... different. He felt adored. And he was terrified.

Swallowing back a lump in his throat, he slightly pushed a smaller first-year out of the way and headed towards where Draco and the Slytherin's usually gathered. He could feel the excitement as he spotted some of his class peers, he knew he was getting closer to finding his beloved.

Trying to be subtle, Blaise kept peeking through the small compartment windows. As he reached the Gryffindor area of the train, he straightened up, assuming his face in the usual mask of bored sulkiness that they were accustomed. He glared as he passed Hermione Granger, who responded back with a roll of her eyes.

He didn't hate Hermione. Or Harry or anybody, but it was expected of him, so keeping the bored facade up was easier then proving to everybody that he was a normal guy. He looked into the next compartment and saw Harry Potter himself sitting alone, just looking out of the window.

Apparently ever since the big fight in the Ministry, Harry had been more withdrawn then normal. Rumours circulated around the wizarding teenage world that Harry had lost somebody dear to him, but it was not confirmed. Blaise considered knocking, but didn't have the choice as he was rudely pushed into the compartment by Pansy Parkinson.

Harry looked up at the disturbance but sighed as he saw Blaise stretched out on the floor. Harry stood up and helped Blaise to his feet, before turning and sitting back down. Blaise slumped into a seat as he saw the corridor fill up with clambering students for the trolley.

Harry looked at the door then back at Blaise.

"You're stuck too?" he asked quietly. Blaise shrugged looking back at the window.

Draco would be getting worried, or annoyed now. And he didn't fancy going to see him if he was in a mood. Blaise blushed as he heard his stomach rumble. Harry looked at him, and with quick precise movements he threw Blaise a Chocolate Frog. Braise caught it and nodded, before ripping open the packet, tossing the card to the floor.

With his mouth full, he caught sly glances towards Harry. He hadn't been this close to him since the Slughorn meetings, and noticed that he seemed different. More removed from the outside world. As he quietly pondered this, the door was ripped open, and Draco lounged against the door, glaring angrily.

"Blaise. You're needed" Draco snarled looking at Harry, who was studiously ignoring him. Blaise stood up and hoisted his trunk onto his shoulder.

"Uh thanks for the chocolate Harry" Blaise said over his shoulder, causing Draco to stiffen up beside him.

"No trouble Zabini. Thanks for the company" Harry said back, and Draco slammed the door, marching down the hallway. Blaise sighed, following his lover's angry march with quiet footsteps. Draco stalked into a compartment and even from Blaise's position further down the hallway, Draco was shouting loudly. Blaise saw the compartment empty of second year Ravenclaws, and with a sigh he followed Draco inside.

Draco was angrily pacing the compartment, muttering under his breath. Blaise sighed and shoved his trunk on the luggage holder above their heads.

As he raised his arms, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his wrist, and gasping he heard the luggage clatter precariously above him. Draco's muttering cut off as Blaise examined his forearm. A long gash was steadily bleeding through his sweatshirt, causing a dark red stain to spread along the cream fabric.

"W-what's that?" Draco said, lightly touching the cut. Blaise moved his hand out of the way gingerly, grouping in his bag for a tissue.

"I fell it's n-" Blaise gasped as Draco caught his wrist, gently tugging up the material to reveal the whole cut. Draco carefully wiped the blood away, kissing along the cut carefully. Blaise shivered at his lover's touch, causing Draco to look up as he was wrapping Blaise's arm in a bandage.

He carefully kissed Blaise lightly, pushing himagainst the compartment door. Draco pulled the compartment blind down, plunging them into semi-darkness. Draco carefully teased his tongue on the tip of Blaise's inner lip, forcing a slight moan out of Blaise which caused Draco to move closer.

"DRACO? ARE YOU IN THERE?" Pansy's voice bleated through the door, pushing the door hard.
