A Fool's Embrace
Draco/Bruce
Slash - HP/Hulk (Avengers) Xover
Draco peered into the glass.
It was empty.
He frowned. Why was it empty?
He jumped from his perch on the mahogany desk and made his way to the glass containor holding a dark amber colored liquor. He wasnt sure what it was, it had tasted foul at first, but now it kept him warm and the taste wasn't all that bad.
"Draco?"
The wizard sloshed a little on his hand, startled but he managed to appear cool, calm, collective. Ever the Pureblood, "Dr. Banner."
Bruce walked in slightly terrified shutting the door behind him, "How did you find me?"
Managing a sip the blond turned around and leaned against the liquor cabinet, "Oh the usual way." Grey dull eyes remained unwavering, "At a local pub drowning my sorrows and there on that muggle picture box I see you." He raised his glass in the air, "Cheers." And swallowed a good mouthful, "The dead can surely rise again to save bloody yankees."
Bruce opened and closed his mouth, he wasn't sure what to say... what could he say?
"I gave up everything for you! My name, my wealth, connections, my bloody world!" Inhaling a shuddering breath Draco chugged the last swirl of alcohol blinking away the tears that threatened to fall. "Had by a muggle, my due I suppose, Karma I believe the word is."
"I'm sorry..." how utterly pathetic and he knew an apology wouldn't fix what he had done. Bruce felt nothing but shame and desperation, even that green beast in him was growling murder at him. Regret had been his best friend.
It happened before he could think twice, not that he regretted it. The empty glass left his hand with a force and accuracy had Bruce not moved the shattered cup would have hit him in the face rather than the door. "Well I'm sorry too!" His chest heaved, the pain, the humiliation, "Merlin I'm sorry I had the misfortune to meet you. Im sorry I fell for such a slimy no good freak of nature!"
Silence.
Draco could feel it, the agony he had kept at bay these last 48 plus hours. He covered his mouth barely suppressing a sob that tore through and he turned his back to the man he once loved. A man that allowed him to believe was dead. He mourned! 8 months he begged the gods to take him so he could be with the only person who seemed to love him.
He was but a fool... who could possibly love him? There was no promise for the future but once Draco felt those arms drape over him and smelled that unique scent that had once been his lover Draco broke completely.
As much as he hated the muggle turned grren monster he loved the miserable bastard. He couldn't live without him... he would surely die from a broken heart, he had been steadily going down such a route but this time Draco would smother Bruce with a dizzying amount of protection charms and tracking charms.
Draco may no longer be a Malfoy but he always got what he wanted.
Morsmordre...
Honestly I couldn't tell you how the two got together or why Bruce left but he faked his death because he's an idiot. Never saw this pairing before... any ideas?
