-6 Hours ago-

It was an unusual sunny day and Draco decided to sit outside at a bakery shop on his second day in Muggle London, across from the Museum. He didn't get to do much of people watching so he thought this was an interesting way to observe in Muggle lifestyle and write in his journal. From the corner of his eye, he saw a man watching him. He had the newspaper in his hand but he wasn't reading it, he was watching Draco.

The man had short brown hair, was medium built and Draco thought, was wearing a collared shirt that was a bit too tight. Muggles, who am I to make a remark? Draco thought. Draco stared right back into this mystery man's eyes, refusing to be the first one to look away. He watched as this man walked up towards him and Draco noticed that the jeans fit this bloke quite well. Really well, actually, Draco thought. Draco cleared his throat a bit as he observed this man coming directly towards his table. He sat up and kept the cool demeanor that would have made the entire Malfoy lineage proud.

"Hi there, mind if I sit down?"

Draco nodded once and closed his journal and placed it back in his briefcase.

"You're American?" Draco said.

"Yeah, I've lived here for about 5 years but I am indeed from the United States." Said the man now sitting across the round table from Draco.

"I am Adam. Adam Ward."

"Julius... Drake. Julius Drake. Pleasure."

"Nice to meet you too Julius Drake. That's quite the name."

"Yeah, I was sort of named after my father. It's not really that important actually. So Adam what brings you over to my table?"

"Well, I have been watching you, for the past 20 minutes. Christ that makes me sound like a stalker. Sorry, I just … I like watching people, and you caught my eye. When you didn't completely freak out when you noticed me and you know, I was watching you… I thought I'd stop by and say hello. Properly introduce myself and everything. Sorry, I am rambling. Am I rambling? I am usually not a talker."

"It's alright, I like the way you speak. I don't really get to talk with many Americans where I live right now so it's nice. Quite refreshing actually." Draco responded.

"Where do you live?"

Draco seemed a little hesitant, and Adam said "Never mind, I've just met you, I am sure you already think of me as a stalker and now I just asked where you live. Sorry, didn't mean to pry. Can I buy you another cup of coffee?"

"Sure, also I am sort of new in town. I am staying at a hotel right now, sort of here just for a couple of days and then gonna move on I suppose. So I don't really live anywhere at the moment. And it's alright, I don't think you're a stalker, I find you… a bit charming actually. Must be that accent I gather. That must get you laid quite a lot in these parts of the world." Draco could not believe he just blurted that out. "Oh Gosh, I am sorry, I didn't mean to sound so crass, I am actually quite dignified most of the time." Embarrassed Draco felt himself getting red.

The waitress stopped by their table and Draco was glad for the distraction.

"Can I get you gentlemen something else?"

"I think we'll have another round, if you don't mind." Adam said observing Draco as he seemed unable to speak at the moment.

"Certainly sir, also I'll add your bill to this table then?"

"Yes, that's fine, thanks a lot." Adam didn't take his eyes off Draco as the waitress walked away.

"Thanks for the coffee, but I think I should have asked her for a bucket of water to drown my giant head in." Draco finally managed to say something back to the dashing American sitting in front of him looking absolutely calm and collected.

"Ha! It's okay, that's not the worst I have heard, believe me." The waitress returned to this point and brought the final bill as well. Adam grabbed the check and dropped some notes in it and returned to the waitress. "It's all set thanks." He turned to Draco and asked "So, tell me Julius, are you doing anything tonight?"

"You mean besides working on my pickup lines? Merlin, I knew it had been a while but I didn't realize I was this bad." Draco managed to laugh at himself. He felt his face cooling off.

Adam looked at Draco with a bit of familiarly and Draco spoke "What? Did I say something?"

"No, well I mean yes, I have a … friend, sorta, who says 'Merlin' also quite a lot. I wondered if that was a regional thing that I haven't picked up yet."

Draco thought to himself and wondered if this "friend" was also from the wizarding world. "What kind of friend?" Draco responded.

Adam smiled "Not that kind of friend. So if you're free tonight, and since you said, you're not really from around here, why don't I take you out? My… I mean I have heard of a dance club not too far from here called 'Rain' and perhaps we can meet there later tonight and I can buy you a proper drink?"

"Alright, sounds good, it'll give me a chance to rest up a bit. I can meet you there around 10 then?" Draco didn't even have to think about it, he was inclined to be picked up and that's what was happening, he wasn't going to let this opportunity go. "An American too," Draco thought, "that's been a while."
"But, I do have to ask you a question, if you don't mind." Draco asked.

"Sure, go ahead" Adam said.

"What made you decide to approach me? Of all the people here, I mean, is it THAT obvious?"

Adam laughed "No, it's not that obvious at all actually. I just noticed that you were the only other person who was drinking coffee, when it's time for tea isn't it? So I thought I'd try my luck."

Draco smiled and started to gather his things to leave "Okay then, let's hope your luck continues, and I show up tonight. See you then, Adam Ward."

"See ya, Julius."

-Present Time-

10:15 pm, Harry walked into 'Rain' he hadn't been here in a very long time. It was his usual spot to pick up a bloke and have a few drinks and go back to his hotel. He hadn't booked a hotel this time. Harry wanted to go out and dance but he had planned to not pair off with anyone tonight. He sort of just wanted to see if he still had it. This was also the last time he had met up with a young bloke named Mark, their first meeting was intense. Harry started to daydream a little remembering his first experience with Mark when he dragged Harry back into the alleyway and Harry had all the freedom in the world to do whatever he desired to Mark.

Harry pinned Mark under his body, thrusting behind him with his hardon peaking out from beneath his trousers. He could smell Mark's lust for him and his short breathing was making him even more hot. Harry pressed himself even closer; he grabbed Mark's hips desperately. His hands traveled down to unbutton Mark's jeans and held his hot cock in his hands. Mark tossed his head back in ecstasy, grinding his hips even harder against Harry, feeling the friction in between their bodies… Someone bumped into Harry and he woke from his daydream.

"Sorry mate, you alright there?" the stranger said to Harry.

"Yeah I am fine thanks." Harry replied in an annoyed tone.

Harry stood against the wall, hard and agitated. He couldn't believe he started daydreaming about his last experience at 'Rain' he decided to walk it off and figured his "excitement" would go away.

He saw a couple of blokes kissing against the wall about 10 feet away from him. He thought that the man with his back towards Harry looked a lot like his therapist. He couldn't see the other man, but something seemed familiar about him. What would my therapist be doing here? He's kissing a man? Harry's eyes went down to the brown haired man's backside, watching his jeans move with his body. Oh, it's definitely Adam. Harry thought.

Harry didn't know what got into him that he felt the need to call out his therapist's name while he's in the middle of snogging someone else. But he did it anyway.

Simultaneously, another bloke bumped into Harry, someone familiar, and someone he had just been daydreaming about. Seconds after Harry called out Adam's name, he heard "James" being called out in his direction. Everything went blank for about thirty seconds and his only thought was What did I just get myself into?

Draco heard Adam's name being called but he recognized Harry's voice right away. His knee still in between Adam's legs and Adam turned around half way looking at the man behind him. Draco was hard and he was thankful for the black trousers he was wearing and the dark corner they were standing in that his elated state wasn't the center of attention of the commotion that had just occurred in this very Muggle, very Gay establishment. Oddly enough the first thought Draco had, sarcastic as it was, had been Mother would be so proud.

Harry spoke first, "I am sorry, I didn't know what got over me. You're clearly busy, with… um yeah, so I am gonna get going now."

Draco didn't know what to do; he looked at Mark, who spoke next. "So James you're seeing Doctor Ward too? Or did you shag him as well…" In mid sentence another bloke, young in his twenties came up to Mark and pulled him away "Come on Mark, let's dance" and he was gone.

So Adam with his arm still around Draco, Draco looking confused at Harry and Harry just looking around to avoid eye contact, these 10 seconds Harry thought felt an eternity.

"How do you two know each other?" Draco said to Adam.

"We're… we have a professional relationship, I cannot discuss it. But, did you call him 'Harry'? Is that your middle name?" Adam turned to Harry and asked. He took his arm off of Draco and ran his fingers through his hair. He then turned to Draco "I am sorry, just a little confused. I thought you said you were not from here, how do you two know each other?"

Draco was about to say something but Harry interrupted.

"I… Adam's my therapist. I visit him every other week for consultations" He looked at Draco and spoke, then he turned to Adam, "Julius… is my flat mate, he's Drew, it's the same. You're snogging in a corner of a gay club with my lodger, who I didn't know was gay, I didn't know you, Doctor, were gay. This is a lot of information to process at the moment. I better be off then. Sorry to have disturbed you again, I didn't realize it was you…Dray…Julius. I'll see you at home tomorrow or whenever."

Draco got off the wall and said "No wait, don't go" almost pleading. Harry just waved and kept walking. Draco turned to Adam "I am sorry, I've got to go after him. He's my friend, I don't know what's going on, but I've just got to go" and he ran out the club after Harry. When he reached the back entrance, it was empty. Harry had Apparated.

-
Draco stood alone in the back alley of 'Rain' completely befuddled by the last half and hour of his life. He had met up with Adam at 9:30 and gotten a few drinks. They didn't talk much when Adam pushed him against the wall and pushed himself onto him.

"They allow this here? No one's going to stop us?" Draco asked to which Adam responded "They're not gonna say anything if we behave. Although I might have a hard time behaving."

They both laughed, Adam touched Draco's forehead and ran his hands through Draco's hair to the back of his neck and whispered, "You truly are the most beautiful man I have ever met."

It wasn't five minutes after when Draco heard Harry's voice, now he's standing alone wondering a million things a minute. How did he not know that Potter was gay or was Potter upset at Draco or at Adam? Did he and Potter really shag the same guy? How are they always so connected? James Clay? Potter's a celebrity in the Muggle universe too?

Then his thought trailed off to something Mark had said the first time they met, unusually obsessed with dragons.

Adam came after him and asked "did you catch him?" Draco shook his head.

Adam spoke again "Um, okay, so I think I am gonna take off then. Due to ethical reasons that have now presented themselves to me, I don't think it's a good idea that we can continue what was happening five minutes ago."

Draco nodded, then looked up at Adam "Does he talk about me?"

Adam said "I can't say anything, I am sorry" and left.
