It's a fluffy-ish chapter, so enjoy!
The next week passed sweetly and quietly. Harry and Draco spent most of their free time together. Draco owned his own potions shop on Diagon Alley so he went back and forth every day. Harry was still a bit of a recluse but was now looking for a job in the muggle world. He ended up getting a job in a book store towards the end of the week.
Things between Harry and Draco were slowly being repaired. For the first week they were just reveling in the company of each other. Their relationship had been something they had cherished and now that they were together again it was like old times. But just as they had feared, the problems they had would come back to bite them.
Draco came home one day and went upstairs to their bedroom. He walked in and found Harry curled up in a ball on the bed under the covers.
"Harry?" said Draco softly. Harry shuddered with the sobs that had been wracking his body for hours. "Harry, what's wrong?" Draco sat down on the bed next to Harry and gently rubbed his back with one hand. When he still didn't get a response from Harry, he toed off his shoes, pulled back the covers, spooned up behind Harry in the bed, and gently wrapped his arms around his lover. "It's ok; it's going to be okay. I'm here. Just tell me what to do."
"Hold me tighter, please?" Draco almost missed the whispered plea that came from Harry, but he held him tighter and cuddled in closer.
"Is there anything else I can do?" Harry suddenly turned over in Draco's arms and brought his face up close to Draco's.
"Kiss me?" he whispered. Draco kissed him passionately and the two lay on the bed making out for a good twenty minutes.
"Feeling any better?" said Draco breathlessly.
"Yeah, I'm feeling better, now that you're here."
"Well, that's what I'm here for." He gently ruffled Harry's hair and kissed him on the forehead. "What happened?"
"A wizard came into the book store. He was bugging me for a solid hour. Asking me why I didn't take a position at the Ministry, at Hogwarts, that I could have any position I wanted anywhere in the magical world. He didn't shut up until I called security and got them to escort him out of the store. It shook me though. Carol, my boss, let me come home early because she could see I was upset. I came home, I put up the guards, and I made it all the way up to here before I finally broke down crying. I've been here... what time is it?"
"A little after seven."
"I got home a little after five. So like, two hours."
"Are you hungry?"
"Very hungry actually."
"I could make us sandwiches. We can have dinner in bed. Would you like that?"
"Yeah, I would like that. But..."
"But what?"
"Could you just hold me a little longer?"
"Of course I can. I'll hold you as long as you want me to." Draco gently tucked Harry's head under his chin and gently ran his fingers up and down Harry's back.
A little while later Draco had made the sandwiches that he had promised Harry and poured two glasses of pumpkin juice. He put it all on the breakfast tray and walked back up the stairs. Harry was sitting up in bed now with the covers pulled up around his chest. Draco put the tray over Harry's legs, pulled the covers back and sat down next to Harry. They ate their sandwiches and drank their pumpkin juice quietly. After they finished the dinner, Draco waved his hand and the tray moved off of Harry's legs and onto the table across the room. Harry settled on Draco's chest and sighed quietly as Draco combed his fingers through his hair.
"Draco?" said Harry quietly.
"Yes, Harry?"
"I never did thank you."
"Thank me for what."
"For coming back." Draco gently put his arms around Harry and held him.
"I guess of the two of us I was the only one who knew that one day I'd have to come back. One can only deny one's own heart for so long before it starts to kill you. Between you and me, there were days that I almost wished that the truck had hit me instead of living without you." Harry snuggled into Draco's shoulder a little more and gently stroked Draco's cheek. "You all right?" Draco asked.
"I just... I love you Draco." Harry kissed Draco gently on the mouth at first but then the kiss deepened and soon Harry let himself be turned onto his back. Being with Draco again was like heaven. Draco tormented Harry with his mouth and hands until he had Harry begging for him.
"Please Draco... Please..." Harry begged. Draco gently lubricated himself, pulled Harry's legs up over his shoulders and gently eased into Harry. Harry moaned and writhed below him. Slowly Draco picked up a rhythm. Both moaned and gasped through it all and when it was over they held each other tightly. Harry gently threaded his fingers through Draco's hair and kissed Draco on the forehead before they both fell asleep.
