Harry walked into his house, burying flopping into a chair and burying his head into his hands. Well, that was... enlightening. He thought, smiling slightly at Draco's last words. He glanced at the clock. 4.00 pm. He got up and walked into the kitchen.
He cooked for an hour, preparing a nice meal for himself. As he poured a glass of wine, he mused about things unimportant, then turned on the television and watched unimportant shows until he was finished with his dinner and quite tired. He yawned and got up, deciding to deal with the dishes later. He walked to his room, pulling his shirt and pants off and crawling under the covers. He swore that he could still smell a hint of Draco in the room, even if he'd washed the sheets after the 'big blow up'. He snuggled against his pillow and dozed for a bit. He suddenly felt very awake as he felt weight being put on the uninhabited side of the bed. He felt a cold hand touch his shoulder and he turned over quickly, his hand reaching under his pillow for his wand. He rolled over to look into the face of Draco, blond hair falling into his eyes.
"Sorry I scared you." He said sheepishly, eyes looking delightfully innocent.
"It's ok." Harry replied, relaxing against the pillows. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I came to see if you wanted to talk, and I found you in here asleep, and I was just about to leave when you woke up."
"Oh." He was aching to tell him to stay, but he knew Draco would refuse. He sat up and pulled the blankets around him. "We can talk now, if you want..." Draco shook his head and smiled slightly.
"No, you should sleep." He said with a bit of fondness in his voice. Don't leave me... Harry thought sadly, but nodded. "Come to my office tomorrow, ok? We'll have lunch. How does noon sound?"
"All right." Harry replied, and Draco smiled again. He got off the bed and Apparated. Harry sighed and slumped against the pillows, wishing his bedding could swallow him whole.
That night he had a dream. It was very vivid. He was chained to a wall, and Draco was in the middle of the room being tortured. He squinted to see the face of the torturer, struggling against his bonds to try and save his poor Draco.
Harry woke up with a start as he realized the faced belonged to Ron.
- - -
The next morning, Harry fell out of his bed and onto the floor. He got up, growling out a few curse words before heading to the shower, totally disoriented. Goddamn nightmares, he thought. Although, maybe it was a vision. He'd had those before. There's something wrong here. He showered quickly and got dressed in jeans and a black cashmere sweater and white collared shirt underneath. He'd woken up late and it was nearing 11.45 when he finally deemed himself ready to go. He pulled on some shoes and Apparated to Draco's office. The secretary looked up from her paperwork.
"Ah, Mr. Potter! Mr. Malfoy is expecting you. You can go in now." Harry smiled and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Draco replied, and Harry walked in, suddenly very nervous. Draco looked up. "Oh. Hi. Sit down. We'll order." He sat down and Draco waved his wand. "Pick whatever you want." Harry looked down at the piece of parchment that appeared and ordered steamed vegetables and white rice. Draco ordered something French and complicating sounding. Harry smiled at this and their food arrived. They ate in silence, and when they were finished, Draco cleared his throat. "So. We have to talk."
"Yeah. Before we start, I need to tell you something."
"Ok..." Draco said uneasily.
"I had a dream last night. I was chained to a wall and you were being tortured. By Ron." Harry shuddered. "I think it was a vision."
"I've been having similar dreams." Draco replied. "That's why I've been researching to find Weasley wherever he is."
"You have?"
"Mmmhmmm. Except in my visions you're the one being tortured." Draco looked almost apologetic as he said this, and reached across the table to take Harry's hand. "I can't bear the feeling of not being able to protect you." Harry tensed at the touch, then relaxed as he felt Draco's thumb caressing his knuckles. "I miss you."
"I- I'm so sorry." Harry whispered. "What was I thinking?"
"You were thinking that, in order to save both our asses, we must be apart. But I seem to think now that our only hope is to be together." Harry nodded and smiled.
"Me too." He rested his elbows on the desk, and Draco smirked.
"You do realize how in debt you are to me, right?" He asked, raising his eyebrows and leaning in closer to Harry.
"Mmmhmm..." Harry murmured back, biting his bottom lip.
"Aww... you look so pitiful." Draco said, laughing. Harry reached forward and grabbed Draco's tie, pulling him closer still. "I think we have the same payment in mind."
"First tell me you forgive me."
"Oh, I forgive you." Harry grinned and their lips connected. Immediately both men tried to convey exactly how much they'd missed each other in this one kiss. Their clasped hands broke apart as each yearned to touch each other more. Hands entangled into hair, then traveled down backs ,up arms, up chests. They broke apart, completely breathless. "Now I really forgive you." Draco heaved. "Now come here." Harry got up quickly and walked around the desk. Draco pulled him onto his lap. He aimed his wand and muttered some spells, then began his work on Harry's neck and ears. "You wanna be a little kinky?" Harry nodded as he pulled Draco's tie loose and threw it behind him, then began working on Draco's shirt buttons. Draco pulled Harry's sweater off and unbuttoned Harry's shirt, pushing it off his shoulders. He sat marveling at Harry's torso, something he dearly missed looking at. He reached to unbutton Harry's jeans, sliding them off. Harry's not wearing any underwear, he thought. "Mmm... Potter, you naughty boy." Harry looked down and saw he wasn't wearing any boxers.
(a.n):- - - Bit of smut here, kids. Skip to next bold bit if you don't want to read it!- - -
"Shit!" He exclaimed. "I knew I forgot something." Draco chuckled and knelt down on the floor. Harry gasped. This wasn't something Draco normally did. He groaned and almost lost his balance as Draco began his ministrations. "Oh god..." He choked out, biting his lip once more and pushing Draco's head closer to him, running his fingers through his hair. A few minutes later he released, and Draco stood up, pulling his own pants down and waving his wand again. All of the things on his desk disappeared and he smirked.
"You. On the desk. Now." Harry smiled at the command. Gods, I love Demanding!Draco. He climbed up onto the desk after kicking his pants and shoes and socks off. Draco did the same and climbed up between Harry's legs. He laid down on top of Harry and grinned. "I missed having you like this." He whispered before capturing Harry's lips in a searing kiss.
"I missed you having me like this." Harry replied. Draco placed two of his fingers over Harry's mouth and pushed. Harry opened his lips slightly to welcome the fingers, swirling his tongue over them and sucking. Finally, Draco pulled them out and prepared Harry quickly, then used his own fluid to lube himself up before entering Harry in one swift motion. "Fuck!" Harry screamed. He was really tight, and wasn't prepared. Draco sensed this and eased slowly until Harry took a deep breath and relaxed. He knows everything about me, Harry thought happily, that's how it should be. He smiled up at Draco and Draco took this as a sign that he should pick up the pace a bit. Soon they were slamming into each other, the desk shaking a bit under the force of their thrusting. Finally Draco felt Harry tighten around him and he came, and he kept thrusting until Harry came as well. Draco collapsed against Harry's shaking form, now unable to support himself with his arms.
(a.n):- - - OK! THE SMUT IS DONE! Teehee... I liked it. I usually do, though, so yeah... you can read some nonsexual stuff now. Woo. that was a workout.- - -
After a few minutes, Harry sat up and Draco grabbed his wand and cleaned everything up and cast a few fresh air spells. Harry redressed as Draco did, Draco watching Harry's muscles ripple as he shrugged his shirt back on and pulled the sweater over it. Harry helped straighten his- is he my boyfriend?
"Listen, Dray- co, what does this mean?"
"Harry, I- don't know if I can ever live without you." He replied, allowing Harry to straighten his tie for him. "Can we be together again?" Harry fell into Draco's arms and snuggled against his neck.
"Mmmhmm." Draco swallowed the lump in his throat and rested his chin on top of Harry's head.
" 'kay." He said happily, just standing there with his arms around his boyfriend. "I love you, you psychotic bitch."
"Right back at you, my love." Harry answered, leaning up for a kiss. "I'll let you get back to your business now." He disentangled himself from him and Draco kissed him again.
"Ok."
"See you tomorrow." Harry said, just to be safe. Don't want to ask him over yet. He might not be ready.
"Right." Draco replied, secretly hating that.
"Bye, love." Harry opened the door and walked past Draco's secretary, who blushed and giggled.
"Good meeting Mr. Potter?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"I heard- everything." She cooed, smiling. Harry's eyes narrowed and he stalked back to Draco's door, opening it to see a highly embarrassed blond man.
"You didn't do a SILENCING CHARM?" Harry hissed, and then began to chuckle.
"Forgot." Draco muttered, chuckling as well. "Go to hell, Maureen." He bellowed as he heard his secretary laughing her head off.
"You too, dear." She called back. Harry walked back and kissed Draco.
"So cute when you're mortified." He said, then left again, blowing a kiss to Maureen.
"Do come back again, Mr. Potter." She sang, and he waved over his shoulder in reply.
- - -
That night, Harry cuddled his pillow and regretted not inviting Draco over. He seriously felt like crying without his boyfriend snuggled against his back. He was just about to give in to his tears when he felt a weight on the mattress and an arm wrap around his waist. "How'd you...?" He whispered, turning over to see his lover smiling serenely at him.
"I felt it. I needed you." Harry smiled and captured Draco's lips in a kiss before they curled up and burrowed under the covers to sleep.
