"They're hoping we have lots of children, you know…" whispered Draco, worried of Derek's reply.
"I hadn't thought of that," replied Derek with a frown.
"I understand if you don't want me in that way…" said Draco, while looking away from the only man he ever wanted.
"No! That's not what I meant, Draco! I DO want you," shouted Derek, worried at Draco's train of thought.
"You do?" whispered Draco, not wanting to hope that his feelings for Derek were returned.
"Of course, Draco! I want you. I was only thinking of children," said Derek, while laughing nervously.
"You… really want me? As more than just a friend…" asked Draco, disbelieving.
Rather than try to convince him with his words, Derek simply pulled Draco back to him and crushed their lips together in a passionate kiss, filled with all the emotions he ever felt towards Draco. He knew the only way to get Draco to believe that he loved him was for him to make him sense it in their kiss, in how perfect it was.
"I want you more than anything," whispered Derek breathlessly, after their kiss ended.
Draco whispered, "I never thought you would want me…"
"Draco, I do. I always have. I've just been worried that you didn't want me. I'm not worried about being with you. That's something I've wanted for years," said Derek, while blushing. "I'm only… nervous about having children. I've heard it hurts, you know." Teasing was always the best way to get through to his friend.
"I don't expect you to," started Draco. "I will… You don't need to worry about it."
