Draco felt the putrid taste of vomit rise into his throat once again. It sickened him, but not as much as what Snape had done to him yesterday. That had been sickening. Another surge of his stomach and he was back at it again. It was a good thing that it was only 6 am. No one would be able to hear him. No one would understand anyways. There were too many things that hurt right now. Of course he wasn't going to admit it to anyone (for obvious reasons), but deep inside he knew he wanted Harry to be here, holding his hair back , even though it would totally freak him out and be absolutely unromantic . It was his dream. One that would never come true.

"Oooh Ron. Oh God you know I like it rough." Harry moaned into his pillow, sighing deeply as he came into his release. In his dream that is. At least he hoped it was. Dragging himself out of the dream he so desperately was enjoying, he opened one eye. Ron was staring wide eyed at him. 'Shit' he thought embarrassedly.

"What were you dreaming about?" Ron smiled smugly, sitting at the edge of the bed. Harry had to save fate. "I-It's not what you think."

Ron was grinning and looked just gorgeous with an innocent blush covering his face.

"Ron." Harry whispered drawing up his legs near to his knees. Maybe this was the best time to talk about what was going on between them. God, he'd admit there was so much chemistry between him and Ron. There always had been. Why else would they be best friends? But to take it to another level…he wasn't gay. But that dream…

"Harry don't. I know what you're going to say and I don't want to hear it. Can we just be friends?" Ron said suddenly.

"Always Ron." Harry smiled with relief, as he slid of the bed and into Ron's arms. His lap was comfortable, Merlin, and his arms were strong as they wrapped around Harry. "I love you man." Ron said quietly stroking Harry's back. "I want you to know that no matter what. You are so important to me." Harry was silent. He felt confused. Ron's hand against his back felt so good. Slowly he realized Ron's body was shaking behind him and the hand that had been gently caressing him had suddenly stopped. He turned. "Oh my God Ron?" He said in fright. "What…what's up? Why are you crying?"

Ron covered his face and began sobbing uncontrollably. "I'm-sorry," He gasped in between sobs. "It's nothing-really. I'll-get-over-it."

He stood up abruptly and ran towards the general direction of the bathroom, dumping Harry out of his lap by accident in the process. Harry wondered if he should go after him but it really made no sense. Ron had been acting really wired lately. He needed to think things out actually. What was going on between him and Ron, what was going down with Draco? Did it even make sense going into a relationship right now? He stood up shakily and went out unto the school grounds, only slipping on a pair of jeans and an undershirt before leaving.

IT was cool outside, early morning and Harry sat beside the lake to think. With the way it was quiet, it felt like he was the last person on earth. 'Wouldn't that be nice?' He smiled to himself. 'Not really.' The air outside wasn't really doing anything to help him, but it felt a lot less constricting than inside. almost calm. Maybe that was why he didn't move for a while, even though he knew someone was watching him. When he finally turned to see who had been staring at him so purposefully his breath nearly caught. "Wow. You're so intent on showing off your muscles you don't mind if you catch the death of cold standing out here do you?"

Harry smirked. "Well obviously my 'showing off', as you call it has gotten somebodys attention."

He could tell Draco was flustered and behind those cold grey eyes, he was just begging for help and comfort. They were silent for a while then Harry couldn't take it anymore. "Seriously Malfoy. You haven't been yourself for the past couple of weeks and if you think I haven't noticed then I'm even more of an ass than you thought. You kissed me for Christ's sake!Why don't you just let me know?"

"You know its not that simple. We're sworn enemy's about to go into the biggest war in history. I would if I could..." Draco tried weakly.

"Don't gimmie any of that shit." Harry's snapped,though Draco could tell he was worried. "You don't even have to tell me, but enemy's or not I can't keep letting you suffer. Plus you kissed me."

Draco stepped towards Harry shakily. Then it seemed that his legs couldn't take anymore and they simply collapsed beneath him. He fell forward a little and of course Harry caught him. He didn't move. The feel of Harry's heartbeat made him want to cry. It simply reminded him of what he couldn't have. If Voldermort had never happened, would Harry and him have been friends? Or...more?

"Since that night, you're all I've been thinking about. I don't regret it and I'm ready to do so much to ease your pain. We need to go through this together." Harry whispered into his ear. "You made the first move. I'll make the second."

Before Draco had time to understand what he was saying, Harry had wrapped his arms around Draco's waist and was kissing him. Draco groaned and slowly opened his mouth. Harry practically grinned before running his tongue over Draco's pearly whites. Draco clasped his arms around Harry's neck. He could feel his chest so easily through the thin material separating them and fought down Harry's eager tongue to capture his bottom lip. Cocking his head to the side,he sucked on it. This was bliss. It was what he'd always wanted and he knew Harry could tell. Since first year he'd been enthralled by this boy and now all those fantasy's he's created in his mind were coming true.

Harry took his hand from around Draco's waist and brought it to the clasp on Draco's robe, hastily undoing it. Draco seemed to be fighting with emotions as he ran his hand under Harry's shirt, over him nipples and down him abdomen. Right now Harry was the only thing that was real to him.

Harry moved his lips from Draco's, who desperately wanted more and began kissing along his jawbone and down his neck. Draco squirmed. "H-Harry." He sighed. Harry was the only thing that was holding him up .Literally. His body felt like it had never know how to stand on its own, and with the way Harry was kissing him, his blood was running hot.

"You see." Harry said breathlessly, pulling away after a few minutes to gaze into Draco's eyes. "You need me. And I need you. We don't have to be in a relationship or anything. You can just think of it as comfort, someone to confide in."

Draco straightened himself, but didn't make any moves to pick his robes up off the ground. He stared at Harry for a long time. Who was he kidding? This couldn't be resisted. "Fine." He whispered. "But.." Harry had made to hug him, and he stopped him. "I never want to hear you say those words."

"What words?"

"I love you. Like you said, this relationship will be for comfort. Strictly comfort. Nothing else. Anything else will complicate it. Any other feelings. Plus if I fell in love with you, I would die."

"Why?" Harry said worriedly.

"My taste in boyfriends would be seriously lacking."

Harry smiled and hugged Draco in relief. "There's the Malfoy I know."

Draco grinned into Harry's chest while Harry licked along his earlobe. "Does comforting each other include you telling me what's wrong?" He asked. Draco shook his head. "Not till I'm ready. And I have to trust you a lot before I'm ready."

"I'll wait." Harry said. "So we might as well get stared on the other part of comforting."

"Which is?" Draco said, raising an eyebrow. Harry smiled and mischeviously, then lifted Draco off the ground bridal style. "Potter! Put me down!" Draco yelled as Harry showered his face with kisses. "You're beautiful when you blush you know." Harry smiled sweetly. Draco only grunted, but he knew he appreciated the comment. He would give him more then. And he was going to get Draoc to trust him. No matter what...
