Chapter 21:
Draco was about to make a decision he hoped wouldn't come back and bite him in the arse. He looked over at his son and Harry talking on the couch and smiled. He only hoped this would last, that Harry was here to stay and not run off again. Walking over to the two he cleared his throat to get their attention.
"Daddy did you know that Father was a seeker also, just like you?" Ladon said with a smile on his face.
"Yes I did son. Harry do you mind staying here and watching him so I can go meet someone?" Draco asked making Harry stand from the couch.
"Is this person the one you have been seeing?" Harry asked a hint of jealousy in his voice.
"Yes it is. I need to let him know that I can't see him any longer. He deserves to know the truth." Draco stated.
"I agree. I wish you luck with that. I'm more than happy to stay and watch Ladon." Harry smiled and leant over to give Draco a kiss, which he happily accepted.
Moments later he found himself walking down a snow covered path to Marcus' apartment. He stood just outside the door before knocking. Holding his breath he waited for Marcus to open it. The other man didn't take long and Draco saw a smile pay onto his face as he saw him standing there. Marcus opened the door wider and invited him into his home, leaning over to kiss him but Draco moved out of the way.
"Marcus I came to talk." Draco stated as he sat on the couch and waited for Marcus to come over to him.
"This can't be good. You never want to hear those words." Marcus stated as he sat next to Draco.
"I have had an amazing time with you, granted we only went out on one date but I know you wanted more." Draco started out.
"But you don't think this is going to work between us, right?" Marcus asked.
"Harry and I have reconciled." Draco stated.
"Harry…..As in Potter?" Marcus asked with a dumbstruck look on his face.
"Yes that one. He is Ladon's father and I finally let him know that fact. We have decided to give us another go. I'm sorry Marcus I didn't expect him to respond in the positive light after finding out about Ladon." Draco hung his head in shame.
"Don't be sorry. I knew you loved the father of your son just the way that Pansy and Blaise were talking. I just didn't know who the father was." Marcus replied.
"I'm glad you don't seem to hate me Marcus. I missed you after school and would be happy that we remained friends." Draco stated.
"I would love that. I really have other stuff that I need to do so maybe I'll talk to you another time." Marcus requested.
Draco nodded his head and went for the door, not expecting Marcus to be right behind him. When he opened the door he was shocked to be spun around and flush against Marcus' chest. The other man looked down before smirking and placed a kiss to Draco's lips. Draco moved back after the short touch and looked into Marcus' eyes.
"Had to have one last kiss before you left, Slytherin you know." Marcus nodded before walking away, making Draco's heart ache at the rejected look the other man had. He quickly left before he could change his mind and made his way back to his family, smile on his face.
