A/N: Here's the next chapter. I won't be updating for a while now, waiting for my Beta to proof read the chapters. I've written a few chapters so just see how it goes. These four chapters had been beta so far so we just have to wait k? Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter.

During the ride both men were quiet, too lost in each other's thoughts. Could he really feel the same way about me, thought Harry. Is it possible? Meanwhile Draco was feeling the same way. Could Harry feel the same about him? Is he ready to tell Harry the truth? The stake was high. He could lose Harry and he really didn't want that to happen. But he could deny the feeling no more. Is he ready though?

Their thoughts were interrupted as they arrived at Malfoy Manor. They made their way to the study room and Draco ordered for refreshment to be brought, knowing that they were going to have a long conversation. Each sat down and they were silent until the refreshment arrived and they were left alone. Both didn't know where to start, unable to say what they wanted. Finally, Draco broke the silence.

"Harry?"

"Yes Draco?"

Draco steeled himself, knowing what he would say next would probably change his life forever.

"Harry, do u… I mean, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

Both were terribly nervous, not knowing the right words to say.

"I know it's been two year since you came back and you have no shortage on the amount of ladies who are trying to win you heart. But sometimes I see a hesitation in your eyes. It's as if you have already found someone whom you love but you are afraid to say anything about it. Can you… Can you tell me Harry? As your best friend, you know that I care for you, deeply and I don't want to see you miserable every time you are in a ball."

Harry: "I… I don't know where to start Draco."

Draco: "Just start from the beginning then. I promise I won't say anything."

Harry steeled himself, knowing the moment had come. The moment that he had dreaded for years.

"You are right, as usual. I have found a person that I love deeply but as you say, I can't tell anyone about it. Every time I come to a ball, it's just a diversion so that I can be with the person that I love."

The words hit Draco hard. So Harry was in love. No wonder he behaved the way he did every time he was in a ball. But Harry said that he came to the ball so that he could be the person that he loved and the person that he spent most of his time other than the ladies was him. It was impossible. Harry couldn't possibly love him, or could he? So he grasped the chance, hoping that it would be the answer that he wanted to hear.

"Ah so you're in love? Can I ask who is it then? You know I wouldn't say anything about it to anyone."

"I… I'm in love… with you."

With that, Harry waited for the disgust and outrage from Draco but none came. He had dropped his gaze to the floor when he said that and he made himself look back up to Draco.

Draco was stunned speechless when he heard Harry said the words that he had been wanting to hear. But he was too shocked too say anything. Silence grew between them and Draco could see Harry was nervous as he was fidgeting with his hand while he looked at Draco. Minutes passed with none of them saying a word but when Harry abruptly stood up and made his way to the door, Draco quickly stood up and grabbed his arm.

"Harry wait."

"Why Draco? So you could laugh at my face? I'm sorry, but I better leave."

Draco spun him around and trapped Harry between him and the door.

"No Harry, I'm not going to laugh at you. I'm sorry… It's just; you took me by surprise that's all."

"So? Just… Just let me leave. Pretend I didn't say anything. Pretend that this conversation never happened."

"No. I won't let you leave until you hear what I have to say. As a matter of fact Harry, I'm in love with you as well."

Harry couldn't believe what he heard. Surely Draco was just pulling his legs. Now it was his turned to be speechless. He just looked at Draco, not knowing what to say.

"Harry? You do understand what I just said don't you?"

"Draco… You… You can't…"

Draco smiled at Harry reaction. He brought them back to where they had been sitting, still holding Harry's arm.

"Can't what Harry?"

"You can't… You can't possibly love me back!"

"Can't I? What makes you think that Harry?"

"I… I…"

"Harry, I've been in love with you since we were young. I'm just… to scare to say anything."

"What? You loved me that long? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Harry, in case you haven't notice, we live in a society that condemned such relationship. And after all, how was I supposed to know that you love me back? I thought you were going to be disgusted with me, even hate me and Harry, I didn't want to lose our friendship."

"I… You're right. Just so you know I've been feeling the same way. I'm just too scared to say anything. I don't want to lose you and that's probably why I didn't say anything."

Draco smiled at Harry and Harry smiled back.

"So, what's going to happen between us now?"

"I don't know Draco. What are we now exactly?"

"I don't know Harry. Do you, do you really want to start having a relationship with me?"

"I do want to but what about you? Do you want us to have a relationship?"

"You know I do. But Harry, it will be difficult you know that don't you? We can't have the normal relationship like everybody does. We can't spend too much time together or people would notice. We have to be the way we used to be when we are in public."

"I know that Draco. It will be hard but… are you willing to try?"

"I'm willing to try if you do too."

With that, smiles were set upon both men, knowing that they finally got what they wanted for so long.

They looked at each other and were lost in each other gaze. They were sitting close to each other now, and were drawing nearer and nearer. Now that they had confessed their feelings to each other, there were other things on their mind. Draco looked deeply at Harry eyes and said, "Harry, can I… do you mind if I kiss you?" Harry smiled the bedazzling smile that he had and gazed at Draco. "No," Harry said. "Instead, I will kiss you if you don't."

With that, their close the gap between them and their lips met for the first time. Both gasped when it made contact with each other. Draco never thought that he finally able to do this. Harry's lip was soft and warm under him, and he drew him closer to him, ending in Harry sitting on his lap. Harry on the other hand, thought he was going to explode when he felt Draco's lip on his. He didn't mind Draco pulling him and he was happy to be so near to him.

The kiss seemed to go on forever and when they broke apart, both were panting heavily due to the lack of oxygen, but their faces showed joy and happiness that could have lit up the whole room. "Gosh Harry that was…" Draco was unable to put to words the experienced that he just went through. "I know…" said Harry who was still trying to get his breath back. Harry was leaning on Draco now and he put his head on his shoulder, happy to be so near to the man that he had grown to love for so long. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry, couldn't believe that he finally had Harry in his arms.

"I've wanted to do that for so long," said Draco who had this huge smile on his face. "Me too," said Harry. Both men were content on just being in each other arms, still couldn't really believed that this was finally happening. Minutes passed and there was only silence in the room. Both didn't said a word; just relishing the moment. Finally Draco said: "Harry, are you going to any of the ball tonight?" "No Draco, are you?" "If you don't, there's no point in me going is there? Do you, do you want to spend the night together then? We could just stay here or even go out if you want to," Draco said. "I love that. But now, I have to go. I promised my mother that I would meet her. I guess I'll see you tonight then?" told Harry. "I guess so. I'll meet you here if that's okay?" "Sure. I can find my way back here you know," replied Harry with a smile on his face. "I know Harry," said Draco who had his own smile.

"Well, I should go." Harry stood up and made his way to the door but before he could open it, he found himself looking at Draco once more and was given a searing kiss that left both men breathless once more. Draco, "I'll see you tonight Harry. Love you." Hearing those words brought a smile back to Harry's face and he kissed Draco one last time before saying, "I love you too Draco. I'll see you tonight," and he left with a huge smile plastered on his face.

A/N : Finally! Huahaha, they're together at last. Things will go complicated from now on but let's just give the two of them a moment as they've been waiting sooooooo long to be together ;).
