15. Safe
Pairing: Drarry
Draco eventually became acclimatized to Harry's frequent night terrors, but they were easily the worst in the years directly following the war. Some nights, Harry would simply cry softly to himself and the sound of it would break Draco's heart. Sometimes he would abruptly be jolted awake in the dead of night, heart galloping in his chest because Harry was screaming at the top of his lungs. During the first few instances of that, Draco had actually been afraid to comfort him through touch for fear that Harry might attack him in his sleep.
Some nights when he would wake, Harry would make himself small in Draco's arms and tell him about what he had dreamt before eventually falling back to sleep.
But every night Draco would be sure to pet his hair, squeeze him gently, and assure him that no matter the dream, he was safe now. The war was over, and he was safe.
