W00t! I am on a role! Another chapter and in so little time...Guess I was
just inspired. (
Harry was trembling slightly and his cheeks were the rosiest they had ever been, but he smiled and put his arms around Draco none the less as he broke the kiss. Draco smiled back at him, obviously very pleased with what he had done. "You're shivering...Are you cold?" he said softly.
"No...it's not that," replied Harry.
"What is it?"
"I...I'm not used to this sort of thing yet." Harry looked in the other boys face, seeing something he had never seen in it before. He was comfortable just the way he was, but thoughts were racing through his head. Draco Malfoy had been his kiss. Draco Malfoy is...was...his worst enemy. Draco Malfoy, Harry thought embarrassedly, is also a boy. But...who really cared? Ron would...Hermione might. His aunt and uncle? No, they wouldn't mind. Just another excuse to make fun of him. As far as he was concerned, they would never know.
"So, what do you think about us?" Draco's sudden question brought Harry out of his thoughts.
"Uhh..."
"I think we're awfully cute, you know," said Draco, poking Harry in the cheek.
"Well...we're..." Harry trailed off.
"I know, I know. Worst enemies." Draco said rolling his eyes and sighing.
"Well, we're also...uhm...boys." added Harry.
Draco raised an eyebrow smiling at him. "Does that bother you?"
"Well no!" said Harry slightly indignantly, "I just thought that maybe..."
"Maybe what?"
"That...wouldn't be acceptable." Harry looked up into Draco's eyes with such an odd pleading look that he couldn't help but laugh.
"Silly boy! Who cares if it acceptable to others or not? I do suppose I'd still like you, even if it wasn't acceptable to anyone."
"Really, you would?" asked Harry, "I just thought that maybe we ought to pretend to be only friends, you know." Harry immediately regretted the words that came spilling out of his mouth.
Draco looked obviously hurt. "Well, we could if you think it's necessary." He said, his voice rather cold and flat, as he rolled off of Harry onto his snow angel, squashing it.
"I didn't mean that the way it sounded...I just was worried about what people would think."
"Yeah, I understand." Replied Draco sighing softly. "Well then, so be it. We can act like just friends, you know. It certainly is an improvement over what we used to be."
Harry wanted to roll over onto Draco and say "Oh please don't be like this." And smother his handsome face in kisses, but instead he just rolled onto his side and pecked the other boy on the cheek. The two of them lay in silence for a while longer before deciding to head on up to their common rooms to get warmer.
Harry lay on his bed, listening to the sounds floating up the boys' stairwell. The twins and Ron were playing games of exploding snap and wizards chess. 'How is class with Draco going to be tomorrow?' he thought to himself. "I hope he's not too upset..." Harry said softly. "That fool, it's not as if I don't like him!" he added, turning roughly to his side and burying his face in his pillow.
