Part Twelve. Shouts And Kisses.

Draco raised an eyebrow as Harry put the painting down and crossed his arms. "Well, excuse me, *Potter*, but I was under the impression that you were going to be helpful. I'm sorry to have bothered you with my troubles of trying to get my life back in order. I'll make a note to not disturb your little world anymore." He spat back, just as angry.

"Oh, yes, of course. *You* are the only one who's had his life tipped upside down. *You* are the one that needs us to drop everything at any moment to come over here and make you feel better. *You* must be the only one who we all answer to. Fucking hell, Ko, the world does not revolve around you!"

"Now what the fuck are you talking about?"

"Well, let's see shall we? You keep dragging me over here and making me talk about our past. You expect me to just answer all your questions like a good little lap dog. You don't, or won't, think about how I feel about all this? I had everything just ripped away in the course of a few weeks and now you want me to remind *me* of how good it was?"

Draco was starting to catch on to why Harry was so angry. He smiled slightly, which probably hadn't been the best thing as Harry saw it, and that seemed to make things worse.

"What? You think this is funny?" His voice was getting a little louder.

"No, I was just ..... "

Harry broke in. "You think it's so amusing that now I'm sitting at home wondering what the fuck I'm supposed to be doing now? I had my home, my fiancee and my life just taken away and now you expect me to just chat about it like it happened to someone else?"

"No, I was only .... "

"WELL FUCK YOU TOO! I DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH YOUR SHIT, MALFOY! WHY DON'T YOU GO AND BOTHER SOMEONE ELSE FOR YOUR *LIFE*? HERMIONE! RON! HELL, EVEN SNAPE!"

Draco glared and reacted accordingly. "IF YOU'D JUST LET ME FINISH A FUCKING SENTENCE .... "

"DROP FUCKING DEAD!"

Harry had turned to leave but Draco took four steps and grabbed his arm. "DON'T FUCKING THINK YOU CAN WALK OUT ME! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? SOMETIMES I REALLY WONDER WHY I EVEN BOTHER!"

Harry dragged his arm away. "DON'T touch me!"

"Oh, so NOW you don't want me to! I swear to god, Potter, you're impossible. You keep looking at me as if .... " Draco trailed off, realising that he was talking about something that was over four years ago to Harry.

"I keep what?" Harry growled back.

"Never mind. That was years ago to you." Draco said softly.

"Oh, and *there* it is. Just rubbing it in that you don't remember anything!"

"I'm starting to think that could be a good thing! I don't see why I have to put up with you whining at me because of the past! IT'S NOT MY FUCKING FAULT! You think I don't want to remember what we used to do? I do, but the memories just WON'T COME!"

"I KNOW IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!"

"THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?"

"BECAUSE ..... " Harry caught himself. "Because, it's not fair that you don't remember. You had to fucking stare at me before you even knew who I was. That hurt."

"Well, I'm sorry. It's not like I had a choice in all this."

"I just hate coming here and having to explain everything to you."

Draco took a step forward. "You know. I've been trying my hardest to get you to *really* talk to me all week. I've decided to fuck off subtlety and just go with direct."

"Huh?" Harry frowned, trying to step away but Draco grabbed his shoulders and kissed him.

He pulled away after he got no response and shrugged. "I guess that answers that." He turned to go to the couch as Harry blinked.

"Er, what was that?"

Draco sat down and swung his feet up. "I kissed you." He said with faked nonchalance. It had actually rather hurt that Harry hadn't done anything, not even pushed him away.

"No, I got that but why?"

"Because I wanted to."

Harry walked over and looked down at where Draco sat, pretending to read the T.V. guide. "You did? But I thought you were concerned with the whole me not liking the real you and stuff."

Draco shrugged and stood up, suddenly feeling uncomfortable with Harry so close. "I decided I should stop whining about it and see if you could like the real me." He went to go to the kitchen but a hand to his arm stopped him.

"Is that why you keep calling? Why you keep dragging me over here? You're trying to reconnect or, well, something?" A smiling, hopeful sounding Harry moved to stand in front of him as he nodded.

"I'm just trying to get laid." Draco said playfully.

Harry smiled. "Oh, well that's okay then."

Harry kissed him chastely but Draco had other ideas and by the time they pulled apart Harry's shirt was half off.

"You weren't kidding when you said you wanted to get laid?"

Draco shook his head. "Nope, I'm sick of wasting time. Though you'll, er, have to remind me on a few things." Draco gave him a push in the direction of the bedroom, a hint, which Harry obeyed enthusiastically, dragging him in as well.

At the last moment, Draco wrenched his arm free and pushed Harry to sit on the bed dragging off his boots and Harry's shoes. "Now, now. You're supposed to be reminding me."

"What?" Harry let Draco take off his socks.

"Well, it's not an Astronomy Tower, but it'll do." Draco pushed him to sit in the middle of the bed and sat down next to him. "So, I kissed you?" Draco wrapped his left hand around the back of Harry's neck and pulled him in, kissing him quickly then drawing back. "Then what?" He smiled playfully.

Harry caught on and smiled back. "Um, I kissed you back and you seemed happy with that response."

"Did I? What did I do to show that?"

"Um, you dragged me up and away from the edge. You muttered something about not wanting to fall. Then took off our shoes and stuff."

"And?"

"Then used your wand to warm the stone and make them a little softer. You pushed me to lie down on the observatory platform."

"Really?" Draco pushed Harry's shoulders until the boy lay down. "Well, the bed's warm and already soft enough. Keep going. Just tell me everything."

"You lay down with me and kissed my neck, undoing my shirt. Yeah like that." Harry tilted his head back. "And your hand started to undo my jeans as you kissed my chest."

"Which hand." Draco said teasingly as he gently kissed Harry's sternum.

"Um, you're left, because you were on my left side."

Draco's hand fiddled with Harry's belt. "Anything else?"

"Um, you sucked my right nipple first, before moving on to the other one while you used your foot to push my jeans off completely."

Draco complied as he swung his left foot up to hook on Harry's jeans and push them down. Harry squirmed a little and they came off his feet and were kicked off the bed.

"Come on, Harry. I can't do anything if you don't remind me." He gave a lick to Harry's nipple and smirked at the sigh that he received.

Harry blinked and clear his throat. "You kissed my stomach as you took off my boxers."

"Hmmm, that could be a problem as you're not wearing any. I'll improvise." Draco gave a kiss to his stomach as one finger ran up the underside of Harry's cock. "How's that?"

"Um, yeah, that's good. Then you kissed me."

Draco smiled wickedly. "Oh, okay." He moved back up and gently kissed Harry on the lips causing the dark haired man to scowl.

"You know that's not what I meant."

"Do I?" He asked innocently. "You said that I .... "

"You kissed my erection."

"OH! Well, why didn't you say so?" He shifted back down chuckling at the dark mutterings of his lover. "Where?"

"The head."

"Like this?" Draco gently kissed the leaking head.

"No, more like the underside of the head and it was a sucking kiss."

"Oh, like this?" Draco's tongue darted out a little and licked the soft skin before he supplied the kiss.

"Mmmm, yeah, exactly like that."

"What were you doing during all of this?"

"Trying desperately not to cum. Which is what I'm doing now, so if we could just speed this up a little, I'd appreciate it."

"Hey, I'm just doing what you tell me. Speak faster if you want this to move along."

"You did the lubrication spell without your wand, and started to suck me off gently as your fingers prepared me." Harry spoke quickly. "Please hurry, I haven't had sex in nearly two months."

"I've been able to do that spell without a wand since I was thirteen."

"I know, just, god, please. And leave the prep out, I don't need it anymore. I'm not a virgin this time."

Draco raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, just cast the spell and pushed his trousers down a little, rubbing it on his erection as he carefully sucked Harry's cock. He let go slowly. "How's that?"

"Fine, just fine." Harry panted back.

"Then what?"

"Please."

"No, I kind of like this, tell me or I won't do anything." Draco wasn't sure if he was telling the truth but he went with it."

Harry frowned for a second, trying to remember. "You moved back up, bringing my left leg up to stay around your back."

"I fucked you fully clothed?"

"You weren't then."

"You didn't tell me I took my clothes off. When did I do that?"

Harry smiled. "I have no idea. I don't even remember. I think I was too busy staring at the sky."

"Well, I'll have to take them off now." Draco smiled with faked modesty. "Unless you want to do that?"

Harry nearly cracked his skull into Draco's in his hurry to sit up and start on the blonde's clothes. After a few minutes of twisting and turning they finally had them all off and Harry dragged him back down. Draco gave him a long slow kiss as his hands occupied themselves and Harry broke away.

"Bastard." He gasped out.

"You're enjoying it."

"Not the point."

"Okay, so I pulled your leg up to wrap around my back. And then I .... "

"Then you stopped." Harry realised a little too late that he had wanted to forget the part right now.

"What the bloody hell did I do that for?" Draco practically yelled.

"I don't know, you just looked at me and asked if it was all right."

"I would have thought it was a little late for that."

"Yeah, so let's skip that part. I said yes and then you pushed all the way into me."

"Good for me." Draco said smirking and did just that as Harry moaned.

"Then you kissed me again and lifted yourself up on your left arm and started moving."

Draco gave him a soft kiss. "Slowly?"

Harry managed to shake his head and form words. "No. More like desperate. Not like real fast, but steady."

He started to move at a medium pace watching as Harry smiled and closed his eyes. Draco was trying to not notice how good it felt so that he wouldn't ruin it by finishing early, but his hips sped up a little without him noticing.

Harry, who didn't seem to be able to say the next part due to his change in breathing, grabbed Draco's hand and pushed it down until the blonde got the idea and wrapped his fingers around the neglected erection.

"Please ....... faster." Harry gasped out and Draco wasn't about to argue. Green eyes flew open and Harry stretched his back as his orgasm hit him. Draco gritted his teeth at the tightening muscles around his own erection and managed to last for a few more strokes before his own release overtook him.

His elbow gave out and he slumped on top Harry, whose arms came up to hold him to his chest. Draco rolled to the side and reached for his shirt, which was where he had left his wand. He cleaned them and the bed up and chucked it back to the floor.

He lay his head back down on the pillow and slid under the sheet, Harry followed him and stretched coming to lie with his head next to Draco's shoulder. They lay there quietly for a little while.

"Ko?"

"Mmmm?"

"What's that scratching noise?"

Draco opened his eyes and listened. "Shit! It's Steel. I locked him in the bathroom for when you were coming over."

"Why?" Harry reluctantly let him go as he went to free the trapped feline.

"I didn't like the idea of him watching us in bed."

Harry scowled. "What made you so damn sure you were gonna get your way?"

Draco smirked as Steel stalked by him and out to the living room. He shut both the door to the bathroom and the one to the living room before hopping back into bed, smiling. "Because, I'm irresistible."

Harry snorted but lay back down anyway. "Insufferable, more like."

Draco kissed him on the forehead and closed his eyes.
