Chapter 8:
Theo was waiting with Hermione for Harry to show up. He had his son all ready to go for the couple of hours that they agreed upon. He was thankful Hermione was alright with being their with his son, so he had nothing to worry about. She had also wanted to spend time with Harry and catch up on the years they had lost too.
When Harry came, Theo stayed in his kitchen so he didn't have to face him just yet. He knew he still had a spot for him in his heart but he loved Draco now. He just had to think of how he would get the other man back.
He sat down on the couch and grabbed the photo album off the table and began to flip though it. He stopped at every picture that had Draco in it and felt the smile spread across his face. They were so happy together, all three of them. He knew from seeing that ring that Draco was going to propose to him. He couldn't believe everything was blown to shit in a matter of seconds, thanks to Harry.
He knew he should have told Draco about Harry being alive, but he didn't think he had to worry about the other man any more. He thought Harry would just stay away and live his life, like he told him to do. He didn't realize the time as he continued to hold the book and his front door opened. He was jumped on by his very hyper son and began to laugh. The book had fallen to the floor and he was about to grab it when Harry picked it up.
"Give that back." He snapped trying to grab it out of the other mans hands. Harry was slowly flipped though the pages with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Draco was a major part in Xavier's life, wasn't he?" Theo heard him ask. He looked over to Hermione and saw the sad look on her face.
"Yes he was. He loves Xavier very much." He tried not to sound upset about the situation but knew his voice had cracked a little when he talked.
"Papa." He heard his son say and saw him tugging at Harry's pants. Harry bent down and picked the boy up, kissing him on the head.
"Yes son?"
"When will I see you again?" Theo's heart clenched at knowing he was already becoming close to Harry. He was afraid he was going to loose his son now too.
"Maybe next week. If your daddy and aunt are alright with that." He saw Harry looking between the two and all Theo wanted to say was no, you can't have my son. However he said something completely different.
"When ever Hermione has the time, yes for a couple hours." Xavier yipped and jumped out of Harry's arms and hugged Theo's legs.
"Thank you Daddy." The little boy left, running up the stairs to his room.
"He is very smart, talks like he is so much older." Harry laughed.
"Blame that on Hermione." Theo stated.
"Alright well time for me to leave. I'll be over next week same time?" He looked at Hermione.
"Yes that is fine Harry. It was so good catching up with you." The two said their goodbyes as Theo sunk down, depressed on the couch.
"What's wrong Theo?" Hermione asked as she sat next to him.
"I'm going to loose my son." He started to cry.
"No he loves you. You are doing the right thing letting him get to know Harry. You won't loose him Theo."
"I hope you are right. I've lost so much already, I don't think I can go though with loosing him too."
"We need to get out. You need to talk to Draco. I say we have my mother come baby sit and You, Marcus and I go out to Draco's club." Theo sat up at the suggestion with a smile on his face.
"That is a great idea. If I can get him alone, maybe he will actually listen to me." He watched as Hermione quickly called Marcus and her mother with a smile on her face. Theo ran upstairs to get ready and wanted nothing more then to talk to Draco.
When he came down stairs he saw Hermione's mother and Marcus already there. Marcus was already dressed and said Hermione was getting ready. Theo wore a pair of tight black pants and a long sleeve shirt that hugged his body nicely. He spiked his hair and placed the earring's in that Hermione did that last time.
"Alright I'm ready to go talk to Draco." He stated, excitement running though his body. He turned to Hermione's mother and told her that Xavier was asleep and shouldn't wake up at all. Hermione finally appeared and they left for the club.
Outside Theo suddenly became nervous. Hermione could tell and placed a hand gently on his shoulder as they walked towards the door. Marcus told the bouncer who he was and they were let right inside, like last time.
"What am I going to do if he won't talk to me?" Theo asked his friends when they found a table. He was looking around trying to see if he could find Draco.
"Well he is out on the floor dancing so, oh never mind." He heard Hermione say. His eyes finally caught sight of Draco and understand why she didn't finish her sentence.
Draco was out of the floor, with Blaise. They were dancing but they looked far from being friends. He had to think hard and figure out when the hell Blaise had turned gay, or at least Bi. The scene in front of him made him want to run and leave.
Blaise had one hand wrapped around Draco's waist and down grabbing his ass, pulling his body as close to his as possible. The other hand was laced on the back of Draco's neck as he was kissing him. Draco didn't look like he was objecting in any way and he was running his hands over Blaise's body, touching anything he could. They looked like they were about to have sex in the middle of the dance floor, and being the owners of the club the would have gotten away with it.
"Oh God." Theo heard himself say as he felt his stomach turn. "That's why he won't talk to me, why Blaise told me to stay away from him. I completely lost him." He could feel a tear coming out of his eyes and suddenly stopped breathing when he saw Draco look directly at him and stop dancing.
Draco leaned over and said something to Blaise that Theo knew had to do with him. The other man turned quickly and looked at Theo, he leaned down and said something to Draco before the blonde walked away. Theo watched Draco go in the other direction and didn't notice Blaise had come over to him.
"Hello Blaise." He heard Marcus say.
"You have to leave." Blaise stated. Theo looked up at him and nodded. His friends began to stand up also but Blaise stopped them.
"You two can stay if you want." Theo saw Hermione and Marcus look at him and he knew they didn't want to leave right then.
"It's alright guys. I'll see you tomorrow, have fun." He felt like he was going to be sick. He began to walk out of the club until he was pushed against a wall, right before the front door.
"I thought I told you to stay away from him." Theo saw the anger in Blaise's eyes and knew he should have listened to him.
"If you had told me the two of you were together than I would have. I'm sorry. I want him to be happy. Tell him I'll leave him alone from now on." Theo started crying, not caring that Blaise saw his tears, he was surprised when Blaise let him go and stared at him looking confused.
"Why the hell are you crying?" Blaise spat out. Theo was getting angry, why couldn't he just let him fucking leave.
"I know I lost him for good now alright, I get it. I know you won't tell him, but maybe you'll find it somewhere in your heart to let him know that I love him and I will miss him so much. Tell him I want him to be happy and I'm glad he has someone. Bye Blaise, you two will never have to see me again." Theo left the bar then as quickly as he could. He had hoped that his friends would have came with him, but didn't want them to have to choose between everyone.
The moment he arrived home and sent Hermione's mother away he began to pack. He needed to get away from this area as fast as he could. He needed to spend sometime with his son with out anyone getting in the way. His son was going to be starting school here soon and he wanted to spend as much time with him as he could. The days would end up being rather lonely once he entered school.
Theo got no sleep that night and had the packing all finished by morning, he knew he would have to explain to his friends that he was leaving and his son. The moment he told them, Hermione had disappeared, leaving her with a very angry Marcus. He didn't care however, he wasn't going to wait around for her to show back up. He didn't want anyone to know where he was going just yet, he would let them know once they were settled.
He quickly waved his wand around the room and all his boxes and belongings disappeared to his new home. He grabbed a crying Xavier and disappeared from their old home.
Over at the other end of town Hermione was banging on a door. She was swearing under her breath and needed the damn door to open. Once it did she stepped back, not expecting Blaise to be there.
"Is Draco here?" She huffed out, exhausted from having rushed over here.
"Draco, Hermione's here." She saw Draco walk up behind Blaise as Blaise placed a kiss to his lips. She was aggravated by that and swore under her breath.
"I need to talk to you, alone." She shot a look over at Blaise who was about to argue.
"Fine, lets go for a walk." He stated pulling on his jacket and kissing Blaise before he walked out of the door.
"Theo is leaving, if he is not already gone." Draco stopped walking and looked up at her when she turned back around.
"Where is he going?" He asked.
"I don't know, he wouldn't tell us. He had his house all packed this morning when we showed up. I knew he would need someone to talk to after last night." She saw Draco's head drop down as he sighed.
"Why would you come to tell me?" He asked as he looked up into her eyes and slowly backed away seeing her getting angry.
"Because I thought you cared about him, I thought you would want him to stay. I know you still love him Draco, god I can't believe you are with Blaise. We went to the club last night because he so desperately wanted to talk to you, he was so happy thinking he may just have that small chance. Then we saw you dancing with Blaise and my god you should have seen his face. He looked like someone had just killed everything he ever cared for."
"Why would he even care, he has Potter. He has his family back together why would he want to talk to me for." Hermione started laughing and Draco backed up feeling a little scared at the way it came out.
"He's not with Harry, he has turned him down so many times I lost count. He lets him see Xavier because he has the right to, and the poor boy just lost his Father Draco. Theo loves you, has for the past couple years. How could you not know that?"
"Take me to him, please." Was all Draco could say after listening to her, he was to shaky to apperate there by himself so he needed her to take him. They finally ended up in Theo's living room and saw Marcus standing in the middle of the empty room.
"I tried to stop him, I did. He just left." Marcus started as he hugged Hermione.
"Where did he go? Did he say?" Asked Hermione.
Draco walked all around the house and saw absolutely nothing, everything was gone. He was hoping he would find a note saying where he went but no such thing was found.
He let out a sigh and held back his tears, looking at his friends.
"Maybe it is for the best. We can all move on." Draco looked up and had never saw Marcus so pissed at him before.
"How can you say that. He is all alone with his son. He doesn't have anyone to help him. You don't understand how he is, what we had to do everyday just to get him to leave the house. Fuck if that is how you feel, that it is better off this way, maybe he doesn't deserve you." Marcus grabbed Hermione's hand as he left.
Draco stood in the middle of the now empty house and fell to his knees. He began to cry and let out a frustrated scream. He just let the love of his life walk completely out of his life, all because he was too stubborn to listen to him.
