First off, I want to thank everyone who has reviewed...especially since they are great reviews!

I want to clear up a few things.

Harry is not pregnant yet. This may seem confusing, but everything will be explained in the chapters coming. It is hard to explain why Draco's father raped him. Draco told Harry what happened because...oh wait! That would give away part of my story! Sorry if the story seems a little rushed. My writing usually reflects how I'm feeling at the moment...but I promise things will s l o w d o w n. Everything happens in due time!

ON WITH THE SHOW!

Draco awoke to something warm pressed against his back. He looked down and noticed the Gryffindor's arm curled around his middle. Draco liked lying this way...with someone who could keep him safe. And that's how Draco felt right now in the wee hours of the morning...safe.

Draco rolled over slowly, not wanting to wake the other boy, and looked...really looked at Harry. He noticed the golden skin of Harry's arms and wondered if his whole body was like that. He noticed the look of innocence on Harry's face when he slept. Then Draco noticed Harry's scar. The scar that made Harry loved, hated, and admired by the whole wizarding world. Draco lifted his hand and lightly traced the legendary scar. Harry sighed at the contact, which caused Draco to pull back his hand quickly. Draco looked over his shoulder at the clock on the wall. It was early yet, so Draco decided that he would get a little more sleep. Draco tucked his head underneath Harry's chin and curled the rest of his body to fit Harry's body.

A few hours later Draco awoke again. He tried going back to sleep, but it was no use. He sat up, looked at a sleeping Harry, and smirked.

Draco nudged Harry trying to wake him up. He called his name and nudged some more, but nothing would wake Harry. Just then, Draco got a wonderfully wicked idea.

Draco slithered across the sheets and carefully swung his left leg over Harry's torso. Draco slowly sat down on Harry's thighs. He leaned over to where he was nose to nose with Harry. He slid his soft hands to Harry's side.

And then...

The tickling began!

Harry sat strait up in just a fraction of a second...and bumped heads with his attacker. But that did not discourage Draco. He kept attacking Harry's sensitive sides with his hands. Harry was struggling to liberate himself but to no use. His laughing was making him weak.

" Draco...(laugh)...please...(giggle)...stop!" Harry gasped out. His sides felt as if they were about to split.

" I am not stopping!" Draco cried out as if lecturing an honorable cause, " I tried waking you up for twenty minutes!"

" Oh...please...(laugh)...I'm awake!...(laugh)... I'm awake!" Harry pleaded.

Draco stopped and looked down at a gasping Harry and put on a face of mock seriousness, " Ummm... NO!" Draco began his tickling war with newfound delight.

Harry struggled and finally summoned all the energy he had left and flipped them over. He grabbed Draco's wrists and held them over Draco's head with his right hand. With his left hand, he began to tickle Draco. Draco was laughing and wiggling, struggling to free himself. Finally, Draco was able to free his left hand, which went strait to Harry's hip. In an attempt to gain control, Draco rolled them over... only this made the pair fall onto the floor.

They had fallen onto the floor with a loud 'THUD'. Both young men groaned in pain, but when they looked at each other the groaning stopped... and the blushing started...

Draco was on top of Harry with his hands on either side of Harry's head. Harry's hands were resting on Draco's hips. Their faces were only inches apart.

For five minutes, neither boy said anything. Draco was looking into Harry's deep green eyes... into Harry's very soul. Draco saw a boy who has seen things no one should ever see. He saw a boy who was highly over-estimated. This was not the fearless hero who has saved the entire wizarding world. This was a boy who was afraid of life. He was shy and humble... and blushing!

Harry looked into Draco's stormy eyes and deep into his stormy soul. Harry saw a boy just as scared of life as he was... always trying to live up to everyone's expectations but his own. Harry also noticed pain... it was the pain of being used by everyone around him. This Draco was still full of pride, determination, and independence. Harry noticed they burned in his soul like a raging fire... and he was blushing!

Draco couldn't take it any more. He leaned down and placed a kiss so light on Harry's soft, supple lips that Harry could barely feel it. Draco pulled back and noticed two tears sliding down Harry's face. Draco began to panic.

" Harry? What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

Harry shook his head in a 'no' motion, " Did you mean it, Draco?"

Draco was a little confused. " What do mean? I don't understand."

" The kiss... did you mean it... to kiss me?" Harry looked worried.

" Yes," Draco's heart spoke before his mind. " I would not have kissed you if I didn't mean it."

Suddenly, Draco found himself being pulled down into a hungry kiss. This kiss had every element in it... there was need, want, passion, lust, and even love. Hands were everywhere... trying to memorize every inch of skin.

When air became an issue, they reluctantly pulled away from each other. Draco looked at Harry and smiled. He had never seen Harry this happy before. Harry had the biggest smile spayed on his face... the biggest smile he had ever seen.

" Why are you smiling?" Draco asked.

" I'm just... I'm so happy that I have finally found someone. I never thought I would find someone before I died."

" What do you mean, Harry? Why are you going to die?" Draco was more than a little concerned. He had found someone who was perfect for him and now his love is telling him he's going to die. " Are you ill?"

Harry thought for a minute. He didn't know whether or not he should tell his other secret. " You remember what happened at the end of my fifth year... you know with Voldemort and the Department of Mysteries?"

" Yes, that was what sent Lucius to jail...but anyways, keep talking."

" Well, there was this prophecy about Voldemort and myself."

" What did it say?"

" Unfortunately, the prophecy broke... but Dumbledore all ready knew it so he told me."

" Well, what did he say? There's nothing to be afraid of, Harry... stop trying to avoid the question."

" When I fight Voldemort for the last time... one of us will die... and I think it will be me."

Draco was outraged, " Harry, I know you won't let that happen. I'll be with you every step of the way... you know... if you want my help."

" Of course I want your help. You're all I have now, well, except Remus. Thank you Draco."

Wanting to lighten the mood, Draco leaned down and kissed the very tip of Harry's little nose. Harry scrunched up his face at Draco's action, which caused Draco to smile.

" What?"

" Your face, that's what." Draco said sweetly.

" What about my face? Is there something wrong with my face? How about something on my face? What is it with my face?" Harry said in a distressed way.

" There is nothing wrong with your face at all. It's perfect and beautiful. You are just too adorable when you scrunch up your face up." Draco said smiling.

Harry blushed. No one ever gave him compliments on his looks.

Draco smirked at Harry's innocence. " Maybe I should kiss you like that more often." Draco said this more to himself than Harry anyway.

" That would be nice... please." Harry said quietly, blushing a dark crimson.

Draco leaned down and planted another kiss on Harry's nose... you know... just for good measure.

Draco looked into Harry's eyes, leaned down, and kissed him on his cheek. " Would you be so kind as to accompany me to Mandellanas tonight for a candle lit dinner and then The Fairy's Kiss for a delectable dessert?"

Harry didn't know what to say. No one had ever treated him to such fine dining. Mandellanas was the finest Italian restaurant in the wizarding world... and The Fairy's Kiss had the finest chocolate and sweets.

" I would love to go out with you tonight, but I've nothing to wear. I only have one decent outfit and wore it last night."

Draco thought for a moment, " Then, I will have to take you shopping. I have the money to pay for it... and I really want to. Pleeaase." Draco put on his best pout. It was the one with the pouty lip that quivered and the puppy dog eyes that could make a marble statue shed tears.

Harry sighed, " Oh, okay... but only if I get to take you some place?"

Draco nodded, " Whatever you want, Love."

Harry smiled back at him. He had the perfect place in mind all ready. Draco lifted himself off Harry, stood up, and dusted off the invisible dirt off himself. Draco looked down at Harry and offered him a hand. Harry took the hand and stood up as well.

Harry stretched, raising his arms above his head. He gave a small smile when he noticed Draco really checking out his body.

" Well, I think I am going to take a nice, long bath... want to join?" Harry said timidly. He really felt comfortable around Draco. Harry thought it was somewhat odd to feel so at ease with someone who he has hated for nearly seven years in only one day... but his life was everything except normal.

Draco smiled. He was amazed at how things had turned. Two years ago, he would have strangled Harry the moment he saw him... but now, things were different.

" Well, I do need a bath. I'm sure my hair looks absolutely dreadful." Draco said running his aristocratic fingers through his long hair.

" Well, come on then." Harry said and walked into the bathroom. Draco followed a few minutes later. He had to grab his shampoo and such... but when he entered the bathroom, his jaw dropped. There Harry stood in front of a full length mirror... just as naked as the day he was born. Draco noticed the nakedness right off, who wouldn't? But Draco also noticed the pure beauty just radiating off Harry.

Draco quickly pulled his own boxers off and tossed them who knows where. He walked up behind Harry and slid his hands around his tiny waist. Draco breathed in Harry's scent, noting he liked the smell. Harry smelled of apples and cinnamon. Slowly, Draco breathed out then nipped Harry's ear.

" You are so beautiful, Harry." Draco said then moved his head down to bite softly and Harry's neck.

Harry couldn't help but blush, so he gestured to the bathtub. Draco grabbed Harry by the hand and moved to the tub. Draco turned on the tap and put chocolate scented bubbles in as well. When the bath was full, they climbed in; Harry first then Draco second and nestled in between his legs.

" Draco?"

" Mmm?"

" You have such beautiful hair... can I wash it?"

" You can do whatever you like, Love."

Bath time went well for the couple. They took turns bathing each other. Even though they were naked (obviously!) together in a bathtub, in a bathroom full of steam, and holding one another... there was nothing sexual about it.

After the bath was complete, the boys dried off and got dressed. Draco looked at Harry's clothes in disgust.

" Harry, these clothes are retched!"

Harry laughed. Draco did have a point. " Well, what do you want me to do about it?"

Draco thought for a minute and remembered how small Harry was. " Harry, you're smaller than me."

Harry rolled his eyes, " No kidding, Draco."

" You will wear a pair of my clothes... just until I take you shopping for... decent... clothing."

" Uh... okay."

Draco dug around in his trunks and pulled out a pair of dark blue jeans and a black tee shirt. " Here, put these on." Draco tossed the clothing and Harry caught them.

Harry put them on and Draco forgot to breath.

" Harry, you look stunning!"

" Thanks." Harry blushed again.

" We will definitely be getting you black to wear. You look absolutely gorgeous." Draco gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

After the pair was dressed, they decided to go out shopping as early as possible.

Draco intertwined his fingers with Harry's and they headed out the door.

" First stop... decent clothes for Harry-I'll-look-hot-in-new-clothes- Potter!" Draco half shouted in a singsong voice as they made their way outside.

I'll stop there for today. Sorry it took a long time to update. Things have been quite hectic!

I would really like your ideas for upcoming chapters. And if I decide to use one of your ideas... well, credit will be given where credit is due!
