"Who am I?" Harry asked in disbelief. "You are kidding right, love?" Draco shook his head slowly as he took stock of the room around him. Harry choked back a sob, grief gripping his heart at the thought of having Draco awake but just as much gone.
"I have no real clear idea who I am either for that matter," Draco said, avoiding looking Harry in the eye. "How did I get here?" Harry just stared off into space as he collected his thoughts of how to explain the last seventeen years to him. They sat in silence for a few long minutes before Harry built up enough of his Gryffindor courage to speak.
"I'm Harry and we are in the hospital wing of Hogwarts. Do you remember going to classes here at all?" he vaguely explained. Draco nodded slightly as he started to put the fragments together. "You fought Voldermort and got hit with a curse, putting you into a coma. You've been out for a week and you've got a few nasty cuts too, other than that you are physically fine."
"And we are- what exactly?" Draco asked. "I remember hating you and holding a grudge but you do seem awfully familiar with me now." Harry suddenly became aware of his hand running through the blonde hair and pulled his fingers from the locks. A light blush crept up Harry's face and he began to stutter.
"Well, w-we we are together. We hooked up for the first time in our sixth year after a night of a little too much firewhiskey," Harry supplied.
"Oh so we are shag buddies?" he questioned. "Kind of strange for a straight male to shag another guy, but if the equipment fits- why not?" Harry sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger in frustration. Taking in a shaky breath, Harry continued on in the game of fill in the blank.
"No, Draco, we are not shag buddies. Rather, we are lovers," Harry stressed the last word which caused any new color in Draco's face to recede once more. Draco fell back onto the bed and back into unconsciousness, causing Harry to cry out in shock.
"I have so much work to do when he is released," he muttered under his breath to no one in particular.
