Don't Wanna Miss A Thing

Chapter 1

A/N: Ok, so, this is my first posting after so UNFAIRLY deleted some of my stories, because apparently, I didn't write them...riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...anywayz, hope you like this. I love Aerosmith so I figured it was time I used a song of theirs.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While you're far away and dreaming

This is a love story. I know, I know. But everyone deserves a good love story, right?

But this one…this is forbidden love at its greatest. When two people simply have to be together for the sake of their minds, but are kept apart by cruel circumstances.

They can't be apart for long…

Because when you truly, deeply love someone, you'll do anything, anything, to be with them. You never want to miss am moment, not one single thing…

"Harry…"

"I know Draco."

Kissing sounds filled the dark, deserted corridor, desperate and longing. Harry pressed Draco back against the wall, running his hands up under Draco's shirt and across his back. The Slytherin moaned softly, his tongue dancing with Harry's through their connected mouths.

"We need to go…" Draco whispered, lips still moving against Harry's.

"I know…I don't want to."

They continued their passionate kisses until they heard the sound of running footsteps around the corner. They reluctantly pulled away from each other, putting a good distance between them. They straightened clothes and tried to make themselves presentable to whoever would be rounding the corner any second.

It was Ron.

Harry's heart beat faster as the tall, ginger-haired boy sped towards Harry.

"Harry!" Ron managed to pant out, "I've been – looking – everywhere…" He trailed off as he caught sight of Draco. "What are you doing here, Malfoy?"

For a split second, Draco's face retained the features he always showed when he was with Harry, the love in his eyes shining clearly. Ron saw nothing of this, of course, focusing instead on the cold eyes and condescending sneer that replaced it.

"I can walk wherever I want to in this castle, Weasley." Draco said this with as much venom as he could after his little run-in with Harry seconds earlier. He turned on his heel in a move no doubt learned from his head-of-house, and set of for the dungeons.

Ron turned suspicious and confused eyes on his best friend.

"What was all that about?" he asked, silently taking in Harry's swollen lips and quick breathing.

"Nothing." Harry said, walking with Ron down to the Great Hall, while trying to calm his beating heart.

That had been close…

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

…It's a risk to keep such a relationship secret, or even to keep it going at all. But it's a risk you have to take, because you wouldn't be able to live without that one person who makes your world complete.

It's better to be together for as long as possible…

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Draco and Harry were staring at each other from across the Great Hall again. It was a habit they had been trying to break, but they always ended up doing it anyway.

"Harry?"

Was someone calling him?

"Harry!"

Emerald eyes were pulled away from liquid silver by the voice of Hermione Granger.

"Oh…yeah Mione?" Harry pulled his mind out of those storm clouds long enough to respond.

"Why are you staring at Malfoy?" Hermione was looking suspiciously between the two of them, "and what about what Ron was telling me? About seeing you two in the corridor?"

Harry nearly panicked. "Um…it's nothing. He's just…being weird recently is all…I'm, er, trying to figure it out."

"Indeed." said Hermione in a voice that clearly implied she didn't believe a word he was saying. She didn't say anything, however, simply going back to her food, and glancing up every once in a while at Harry.

Harry decided that this was a good time to leave.

…You try to hide it from your friends, but most good friends will notice the change in you right away…

"Draco?"

"Yes Pansy?"

The Slytherin girl was looking at Draco closely, considering the look that was showing on his face, which he quickly covered up with the infamous Malfoy mask.

"What's with you Draco?" Pansy asked.

"Nothing, Pansy. I'm perfectly fine." Draco responded coldly, just like he was supposed to.

"So…why are you staring at Potter?" she asked slowly, as if she knew exactly why he was staring at him.

He sincerely hoped she didn't.

"The best offense is a good defense, Pansy. I have to know what Potter and his friends are up to." Draco hoped this would get Pansy off his back, as he had just seen his beloved Harry walk rather quickly out of the Hall.

"Okay Draco, if you say so." Pansy reluctantly went back to her food. Draco got up and left the Hall to find Harry.

'Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream would never do

I'd still miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

"Harry!" Draco called after his lion's retreating back. Harry turned, and waited for Draco to catch up. As soon as he got there, Draco pulled him into a hug.

"What happened?" Draco asked.

"Hermione. She's getting suspicious." Harry said worriedly.

Draco looked concerned for a moment, then smiled. "I guess it's my fault. I just couldn't keep my eyes off you."

Harry smiled, knowing that Draco was trying to cheer him up. Harry looked quickly around, before pulling Draco into his arms and kissing him deeply. They kissed softly for a few sweet moments, then pulled away.

"Goodnight, love."

"'Night."

They walked slowly to their rooms, to wait patiently in their beds fir their late-night adventure.

…You can't stay away from them. And yet the more you see of them, the more you feel them and taste them, the more it hurts to be away from them. You get wilder, more obvious when you're together. Until finally…

Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating

And I'm wondering what you're dreaming

Wondering if it's me you're seeing

This was the biggest risk they had ever taken, staying the night together like this. They had transformed the Room of Requirement into their own little overnight hideaway. They lay together in bed, Draco awake while Harry slept, his head resting against Draco's chest. This was heaven in the eyes of the silvery-haired boy. He could just barely see the smile on Harry's face, indicating satisfying dreams. Draco smiled. He had a good idea what Harry's subconscious was playing for him tonight.

Then I kiss your eyes

And thank god we're together

I just want to stay with you in this moment forever

Forever and ever

Draco kissed Harry's forehead, wrapping his arms tighter around the other boy. He had worried for so long about this, this being together all night. But it was late, everyone was asleep. He could just enjoy the feel of having Harry in his arms for a whole night.

…You get caught…

Mere minutes after Draco had finally fallen asleep, the door of their created room opened. It was a prefect, out patrolling the corridors. A prefect, with fiery red hair and bright blue eyes that slowly narrowed in anger. A prefect named Ronald Weasley.

…And almost always by someone close to you, a friend who trusts you implicitly, someone you would give your life for, and yet you wouldn't trust them with the truth of your secret life. And it's always the one with the shortest temper too…

"Harry!"

Harry jolted awake, Draco along with him. His eyes quickly took in the situation. Him lying here in bed with someone who was supposed to be his rival, his enemy, and his best friend, having just walked in to the one place they thought they were safe from prying eyes, no doubt thinking the he was being betrayed.

Draco muttered, "Oh shit," while Ron yelled, "Harry, how could you!"

"Ron, just listen for a second…" Harry tried to talk to Ron.

"Listen to what? It's Malfoy, what's there to explain!" Ron was beside himself with rage at seeing his best friend "sleeping with the enemy," as it were. "You'd obviously rather be with him. Is he the reason you always barely make it to class on time? Is he the reason you're always coming back late to the tower? He's the reason you've been so weird lately!"

Harry climbed out of the bed, wearing only boxers, and hoping against all hope that he could maybe try to reconcile his friendship with Ron. Ron, however, didn't seem able to talk calmly to Harry at the moment. He backed away when Harry tried to move closer to him, as if he were afraid of catching some horrible disease if he got too close.

"Ron…" Harry whispered, but he almost couldn't see the point right now. An angry Ron was very hard to talk to, even when he wasn't angry with you personally. Ron shook his head, turning around and storming out of the room, the slam of the door marking his exit.

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

…Seeing your greatest friend angry with you for being with the one person you can't stay away from is a hard thing to deal with. And then you're stuck with the choice. Who do you choose? Your best friend, who's always been there for you through it all, or your lover, who, despite his faults, is still the only person you can and will ever love?...

Harry stood staring at the closed door for several quiet minutes, his worst fears surfacing as Ron's screams of betrayal echoed in his head.

"Harry?" Draco whispered hesitantly from where he was sitting up in bed.

Harry turned, his eyes watery and his head heavy. He walked forward and sat down on the bed next to Draco, who immediately moved closer to pull him into a hug. Harry, however, sat there, immobile, his arms not mobbing up to circle around the Slytherin boy's back as they normally would have. Draco pulled away slowly, looking at Harry carefully with the same kind of searching look that Hermione often gave him.

'Oh gods…what would Hermione say? When would Ron tell her? He had to get back up to the Common Room…but what about Draco?' Harry's eyes met Draco's, which were at the moment worried, concerned, and just a little bit frightened. This was supposed to be their night together…

'Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream would never do

I'd still miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

But Draco seemed to know what he was thinking. "Go." he whispered, giving Harry a little push. The Gryffindor's eyes widened for a second, before he did what Draco said and stood up to walk towards the door. He was so confused at the moment…but that didn't stop him from remembering to give his dragon a soft kiss on the lips before leaving.

Draco watched him walk out of the Room of Requirement, savoring the feel of Harry's lips on his, knowing that, no matter how much he willed against it, that that may have very well been the last time he got to feel the pleasure of Harry's kiss. He couldn't take Harry away from his friends. It would hurt, sure, but as long as Harry was fine, he would be okay.

At least, he hoped so.
