Dragon Christmas Fun

Chapter 4

One Step at a Time

Draco leaned against the door once it was closed behind him. He brought his hands to his head and clenched his hair, pulling it so a soft pain was felt on his scalp. A frustrated growl released from his throat. Draco slumped to the ground, his back sliding down the smooth, yet rough wooden door, his feet collapsing underneath him.

Harry watched blankly as the door slowly closed, cutting of most of the light in the room, save for a couple of candles that shone. He stood frozen, just staring at the door, but not really staring at it, his eyes unfocused. Tears fell freely from his eyes, travelling down his cheeks and dying at his lips. Harry walked dejectedly towards the door, and slowly clasped the handle in his hands limply. He leant his forehead against the door and sighed softly, his breath ragged with laboured sobs.

Draco curled up in a ball, hugging his legs tightly to his chest. With a chocked sob, the tears began flowing down slowly, leaving tearstains on his cheeks. He lowered his head and rested it on his knees. A dry sob escaped from his throat, and he clung tighter to his legs.

Harry placed his hands on the door open-palmed, then hit the door with closed fists, making a thunderous noise and causing the door to rattle. Harry's ears pricked up as he heard a small gasp from the other side of the door. A hand went down to the door handle, and Harry's heart jumped as he opened the door inch by inch.

Draco gasped as the sound of the door being hit reached his ears, the vibrations of the door, travelling down his back. Draco jumped up to his feet, turned and gazed at the door. Holding his breath he looked upon the door and watched the wooden door. Slowly it opened, seeming to take an eternity to open up, revealing Harry outlined in the darkness of the room behind him, the light from the corridor lighting his front.

Harry looked at Draco through his watery eyes, some tears still travelling down his face.

"Dray…"Harry whispers softly.

He takes a step forward, legs shaking underneath him. Slowly he extends his arm towards Draco, silently begging him to take it.

Draco watches as Harry's hand extend towards him, Draco's eyes ghost up to Harry's eyes, and their eyes lock.

Harry stares back into Draco's eyes. He winces as his arm starts to become heavy, and begs to be put back down, Harry begins to feel stupid standing there, but Harry keeps his arm there.

Draco slowly moved his hand toward Harry's, and slowly their fingers entwined. Draco pulls on Harry's hand, causing Harry to stumble forward.

Harry looked into Draco's eyes, a pool of ice blue, a ring of dark blue outlining them; eyes that were merely inches away. Harry looks down, and then slowly his gaze rises back to Draco's. Harry lifts his free hand to Draco's chest, going to a clasp on Draco's robe.

Draco lifts his hand to Harry's on his chest, covering Harry's larger hand with his smaller white one, merging their warmth into one.

Harry leans his head forward and rests his forehead on Draco's. Harry turns his hand over and entwines his fingers with Draco's, his thumb brushing over the soft skin.

Draco smiles, both party's tears have disappeared, the only evidence left is the tearstains.

Then Draco whispers softly "I didn't mean it, I'd never give you up"

Harry leans forward and presses his lips to Draco's, what was meant to be a simple gentle kiss, turns into a kiss of intense passion, and reassurance.

It was far from perfect, but it feed their hunger.

Harry pulls back; cheeks flushed red, eyes glazed, panting for breath. He releases his hand from Draco's, and brings his fingers up to trace Draco's lips, creating a tingling sensation of Draco's nerves.

Harry places his hand on the back of Draco's head, their foreheads still together.

"Lets just take it, one day at a time…." Harry whispers hoarsely

Draco smiles and brings a hand to the back of Harry's neck

"One day at a time" Draco repeats

Hey Everyone,

Hope you like it; I also hope no one cried….

Well the next chapter is meant to be the last one, but I think I might carry the story on…

Love,

Magic-and-love
