Late at night in Malfoy manor, Draco woke up from a nightmare. Carefully, as not to wake up his lover, he sat up in his bed.
Like you will disappear if I don't keep my eyes on you
He looked at his sleeping lover. Gently he kissed his forehead. He stared at his face before he leaned down to put his head to his lover's chest. Draco listened to his lover's heartbeat. The sound always made him fell at peace. Forgetting all about his terrible past.
The sound that make him sure that his love was alive and safe.
It's not that I'm forgetting
The sound of your heartbeat feels so good that I forget about everything
He remembered his parents, a father who sold his son for his own safety, a mother who never gave him affection and love, who was only interested with her own business. What kind of parents were they? Draco was raised without knowing love. He was a cold-hearted person who didn't know what love was. He even thought about killing himself.
But you gave me love…
Your presence makes me strong. Wanting to live.
The warm feeling in my heart whenever I see your smiling face
Is that a feeling called love?
He clenched his fist hard, causing it to bleed. His eyes closed as he remembered the time when his loved one nearly died. He didn't care nor did he cry when his parents died in the war. Harry was the only thing he cared for. Draco couldn't imagine what would happen if his other half died.
You can't live by yourself
There's always someone else you need to be with
"Draco?"
A soft voice called to him. "Something wrong?" Harry asked him, his voice thick with a sleepy tone. Draco just snuggled further into Harry's chest and closed his eyes, enjoying the warm feeling.
Just listening tot his soft voice makes me forget all the pain
Harry chuckled at the way Draco was acting and ruffled Draco's hair "You're sure clingy all of a sudden" he said before he yawned and started to doze off again.
I want to stay like this forever
After a while, Draco looked up and stared at Harry's face. He cupped his cheek, "Harry…" he whisper softly. Harry frowned as he opened his eyes, and worriedly cupped Draco's cheeks
"Draco, what's wrong?"
Draco gave him a smile. "Nothing…" he said, his eyes never leaving Harry's. Harry didn't seem satisfied with his answer "Draco…" he began before Draco interrupted him with a kiss.
"I love you…" Draco told him.
Harry blushed a little. "I love you to." Draco smiled again and buried his head in Harry's chest again. This time he fell asleep. Harry held him close. He kissed Draco's temple before he began to fall asleep too.
