Harry Potter and its characters belong to JK Rowling. The writing of this fan fiction belongs to me.
Chapter 6
"Stay," Malfoy muttered, half asleep into his pillow.
"Pardon?" Harry asked, turning to look at Malfoy.
"I said stay," Malfoy repeated, opening his eyes and turning his face from the pillow.
"Mal-Draco, we agreed on one more week, remember?" Harry leaned back on the bed as he ruffled Malfoy's hair.
"No, you rambled on and I nodded my head," Malfoy disagreed and Harry let out a soft bark of laughter.
"I don't believe you can take off any more days from work," Harry said as he watched Malfoy roll over on his back.
"You'd be amazed by what I can do," he replied with a grin.
Harry rolled his eyes as he tried to fight back a smile. "Don't try to distract me. That's all you've been doing."
Malfoy quickly sat up and pounced on top of Harry, making him fall back on the bed.
"As if you don't enjoy it as much as I do," Malfoy quipped.
"I do... Well the first time wasn't as appealing as the others but- " He quickly shut his mouth as Malfoy began to snicker and shook his head to get back to the subject. "Draco, I've been here for two weeks! This is considered kidnapping, I'm sure." Malfoy let out a full laugh before responding.
"You are hardly a child, Harry."
"Adult-napping then.
"It isn't a crime if the victim is willing," he replied with a grin, which extended when Harry began to flush.
"There's a crime in here somewhere.. That look you give me every time I try to leave... Purely criminal!" Harry said with mock anger.
"Well I can counter your claim with the fact that you're making me want you to stay! I was perfectly fine alone before."
He sat up and folded his arms across his chest, his lips forming a pout. Harry put his arms around his waist as he sat up, as to not knock Malfoy off of him as he did so.
"You're doing it again, Draco," he muttered with his lips in between Malfoy's neck and collarbone.
"Doing what?" Malfoy asked with some difficulty. Harry's breath against his neck was doing odd things to his body. His eyes fluttered shut as Harry kissed him there before leaning back to respond.
"You know I can't say no when you get like this," he answered, his green eyes looking into Malfoy's grey ones.
Actually, they're more of a startling silver with blue specks his mind corrected.
"Then don't. Stay," Malfoy said with an intensity that started an extra heartbeat inside Harry's chest.
"Do you- do you mean another week?" Harry stammered. The tone and the gaze said that Malfoy meant something entirely different but he couldn't make his self ask that particular question.
"No. I mean stay." His tone now left no confusion.
Harry swallowed and lowered his eyes. His scattering thoughts were interrupted by a gentle, thin, finger attaching itself beneath his chin and tilting his head up.
"Since I've left Britain, I've had a feeling deep down. A feeling of emptiness. I first thought it was because I needed a change. To reform myself. I left to the States, had some documents forged, and enrolled myself into a college.
"After getting a very prestigious job in a very short time, one I earned on my own, I thought the feeling would dissipate. It did a bit, but not fully. Love... That had to be it, I thought... As I told you before, I had a few flings. Dated... but none of it got me anywhere, so I became content with having to deal with the void. Then you had to show up..."
Harry's eyes widened as anger began to surface in Malfoy's. He slowly dropped his hands and wanted to inch away but Malfoy was on top of him.
"Um..." Harry said nervously. He didn't know where this was now going.
"I was completely content with believing love wasn't a possibility for me and then you go and kiss me! In that one short kiss, I'd felt what I'd been searching for! What I believed I'd never find! And now you're eager to take it away from me!"
Malfoy didn't care if he sounded like a spoiled child being denied dessert after supper or a toy he really wanted. Harry was what and who he wanted and he had a right to be upset about it. How dare he want to leave!
Harry was speechless. He could do nothing but sit there with his mouth agape.
"Now isn't a good time to be showing me your tonsils, you dolt." Malfoy sneered.
Harry quickly shut his mouth, opened it, then shut it again. He was at a complete loss of what to say so he lowered his head again and closed his eyes, missing the hurt look that etched across Malfoy's face as he did so.
Knowing a lost argument, though it was a rare occurrence, Malfoy dropped his hands to either side of his legs and began to rise from Harry's lap. He was startled into a frozen crouch position when Harry's hands suddenly launched forward and clung to his waist with a deathly grip.
"Don't." He said in a fierce whisper as he glared once more into Malfoy's eyes. Malfoy stared back in confusion, not allowing his self to feel any other emotion. Such as hope...
"When you said we were on opposite sides of a Galleon? You were wrong. Those sides are a lot more alike than you think."
Malfoy's brows furrowed together even more as he tried to understand just what Harry was getting at.
"Harry, I don't-," he began but the rest of the sentence was lost in a gasp as Harry's lips slammed into his, almost knocking him backwards. Harry pulled him upright, smirking at Malfoy's mouth being agape, just as he figured his was before.
"Just shut up and kiss me back," he said with an eye roll. "And by the way... I decided before your little tantrum to stay," he added as his smirk grew into a grin at the look of disbelief on Malfoy's face.
"You mean you-," Malfoy began in irritation but was cut off yet again by Harry.
"Just shut up and kiss me," he said again, amusement dying and being replaced with... Was it love?
A grin broke across Malfoy's own face as he roughly pushed Harry back into the mattress and obliged his demand.

A/N: Thanks for reading my first venture into the world of Drarry. I simply enjoyed myself so much that I intend to write more.
I've also been wondering if I should write a sequel to this one. Feedback would gratefully be appreciated.
