It was the night before Potter was due to leave for Canada for a month and Draco had to do something. He didn't know what, he didn't know why, but he knew that he couldn't just continue with the way things were going. He loved Theodore, he was engaged to Theodore but he wasn't a 100% in it and he needed to know why. He feared that it was all going to blow up in his face, it probably was, but he just couldn't sit idly by. He'd met Potter by chance, and he had woken Draco up. Draco felt as though he was sleeping through his life and he'd never felt so alive, what did it all mean?

"Pansy, do you think Theodore will ever forgive me?"

"Well, don't cheat on him, physically, even if you've cheated on him emotionally. Just end it, or commit fully. I don't see this working out if you continue to be friends with Harry. You can't do that to him, he doesn't deserve it even if I think he's a total arse," Pansy replied. Her honesty shocked Draco.

"You think he's an arse?"

"Since I only met him a month ago, I don't know him very well but, I don't like him. Why do you think everyone was pushing you, telling you that you like Harry? Because we don't like Theo." Pansy was sitting on Draco's bed in his flat, as he was getting ready to go out dancing with Theodore and his friends. He still hadn't heard a reply from Potter for whether or not he'd be joining them. Potter had asked where they were going and ended all communication after that.

"I wish I had this information before I proposed to him," Draco answered.

"You should have thought of that when you decided to keep your relationship a secret. He loves you, there's no doubt about that, but does he deserve you? Should you marry him? That's something you have to decide on your own. We all were nice to him and he was nice to us at the Berks. There's nothing wrong with him, but he's not one of us, he couldn't be one of us. He's too self-centered, too self absorbed. I mean Draco, was he even enjoying sex as much as he was performing? I am sure you're good, I mean, I've been down there and I was pleased but-" Pansy paused for a moment. "He thinks of you as property and not as his equal. That is also love, but it's not a type of love one can build a lasting relationship on."

"But, Potter said that he thought Theodore truly loves me and desires me," Draco argued.

"Yes, like an object," Pansy added. "Potter doesn't know you like I do, you've known him for as long as I've known Theo. He didn't grow up with you, he didn't hold your hand at the hospital when you broke your arm at the age of thirteen. He knows you now, as a grown up. He hasn't seen you grow up, change, go through heartbreaks. He's a decent bloke with a genuine heart, he can't see if someone is taking advantage of you because he'd never do that to you, or anyone."

"You're supposed to talk me out of falling in love with him."

"No, I am supposed to stop you from making a stupid mistake by marrying Theodore if you're not ready. I could care less for Potter." She smirked as she hopped off the bed and grabbed one of Draco's books from the bookshelf. She turned to look at Draco and he looked miserable. "My dear, he's going away to Canada for a month, maybe this is a good time to get some distance between you two, think about what you want. Maybe try to work it out with Theo, before you were hiding with him but now you're out to your parents, he's willing to be friends with your friends, maybe do a trial run in the relationship. Don't think about the engagement, think about your life."

Draco nodded. "Yeah, you're right. I just need to take it one step at a time, I should really stop thinking about this so much." He looked up at Pansy and she smiled in agreement.

"Wear this!" Pansy held up a dark green satin shirt, "you always look hot in this shirt."

"Theo hates that shirt," Draco commented.

"Then, you should definitely wear it," she answered as Draco glared at her raising an eyebrow. "What? Theo does everything you ask him, discards all the clothes you hate? Marriage, is about compromise! I know you told me that you're always worried about people looking at him, trying to dance with him when you've gone clubbing, like I said, you look hot in this shirt, he hates it because it makes you look hotter than him!"

"You're mental, but whatever I am not going to argue with you. Give me the bloody shirt."

Twenty minutes later Draco was ready to go. Pansy said she'd accompany him to the club for an hour or so, then she had to get home. She had an early shift at the hospital the next day. Draco pretended to be sad, but he was glad. A drunk Pansy would have spilled all his secrets, he was glad that she wasn't going to be drinking and would be leaving early.

When they arrived at 'Rain' the crowd was still quite thin, given that it was still fairly early and it was also a weeknight. Barely anyone went clubbing on a weeknight in the middle of winter. Draco liked going to empty clubs, it gave him more freedom to chat with his friends and worry less about who was going to hit on his boyf- fiancé. I've got to get used to calling him my fiancé, even if it is still a conversation in my head.

Draco and Pansy had arrived only moments before they were joined by Theodore and his entourage. Pansy raised her eyebrow when she scanned the crowd and gave a look to Draco. "They're models," he said. Theo and all of his friends were dressed in skin tight t-shirts and equally tight jeans, leaving very little to the imagination. Draco's comment confirmed with Pansy at how shallow they all were, they ran in the same circle. She leaned into Draco and whispered in his ear, "Be careful of the company you keep, as you may one day become like them."

"With that logic, I shall be turning you gay any day now," Draco retorted with a sly smile.

"Trust me honey, if I was biologically capable of that, I'd been with Millicent when she'd propositioned me in University," Pansy responded with an equally sly smirk.

"You're a piece of work Pans."

"Takes one to know one, love."

Slowly the crowd began to trickle in and the lights dimmed down further. Pansy told Draco that she was hoping to see Harry before she left but she reckoned he wasn't going to show. It was past 11:30 and she needed to leave. She said her goodbyes to Draco and kissed Theo on the cheek. Draco walked her out to her car and returned to Theo and his friends.

"I am so glad she left, I was beginning to think she'd never leave!" Theo commented when Draco returned to him and his friends.

"You don't like Pansy?" Draco was stunned. "She's my best friend."

"I know, I am just saying she can be kind of a bore sometimes. Glad that now I have all of you to myself."

"You told me to invite my friends," Draco continued.

"I know, I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I really do like her I was only joking, I promise!" Theo responded but Draco had already become too upset to accept a simple apology. He turned to order another drink from the bar. "Look Blaise is here, is that Harry?" Draco heard Theo's question and quickly snapped his head towards the entrance. Blaise walked in with two blokes, one he didn't know and the other was definitely Potter.

Potter had chose to rid his glasses again for the night, and Draco understood why Theo hadn't recognised him right away. Draco had seen Potter without his glasses but none of his other friends had. They still had their coats on and Draco watched as Blaise, Potter and the third walked up to the coat-check to rid of them.

"Who is that with Harry and Blaise?" Theo asked.

"I don't know, I've never seen him before," Draco answered.

"He's hot!"

"He's alright." Draco looked at Theo and smiled who looked a bit morose, Draco stared wide-eyed at Theo and remembered. "Not as hot as you, of course." It was the usual response Draco had given for the past two and a half years without fail but had forgotten tonight.

Theo grinned. "Glad you think that still, even though I offended you about your friend," Theo answered with a smile. He leaned in to kiss Draco who closed his eyes and welcomed him in his arms.

"Oh, get a room!" Blaise announced his presence as he joined the group. Draco looked up at Blaise and raised an eyebrow.

"Jealous as always Zabini?"

Blaise didn't respond. Draco looked at Potter next and nodded, "Potter."

"Malfoy," Potter responded with a smirk himself causing Draco to raise his eyebrow again. "I like your shirt. This is my friend, and associate, Caleb Williams. We are venturing off to Canada together tomorrow night."

Draco shook Caleb's hand and introduced Theo to him. "How long are you going for?" Theo asked.

"About a month," Harry answered.

"But, if we are successful in getting the Canadian office to sign on, then we'll be going to New York next for another two weeks," Caleb added.

"Oh, you didn't tell me that," Draco commented.

"Yeah, I didn't want to get my hopes up, getting the French and the German branches on-board took a lot of convincing. I am not really sure a month is enough time in Canada to get the staff there on-board and trained and then venture off to New York," Harry answered.

"Please, Harry here is the best closer. The way he presented the project at the annual meeting in early January, I was astonished and the Executive Director was impressed as well. You should have seen him, he's brilliant!" Caleb had his arm around Potter the entire time he was advocating for his genius. Potter of course had his formality smile on, the one that stated, please shut the fuck up. Draco wondered if Caleb had a thing for Potter.

"I don't doubt it," Draco replied. Potter, surprised by Draco's compliment looked up to meet Draco's eyes and nodded in gratitude. Draco turned to look at Theo who was squeezing his hand imploring for attention.

"I want to dance Draco, Jake and everyone else is already on the dance floor. Are you going to stand here and chat with your friends or are you going to come with me?" Theo commanded. Though his words were demanding, his tone was a bit whingeing.

Draco turned to his friends and Caleb and spoke, "Pardon me, the fiancé beckons." As Draco was being lead to the dance floor he turned back to see Potter again. He saw that Caleb had his arm still around Potter and Blaise was buying them shots.

Draco wasn't nearly drunk enough for this. He turned to Theo and whispered in his ear, "I am going to get another drink, can I get you something?" Theo stared at Draco in complete surprise, and Draco couldn't figure out why. "What? What did I say?"

"You're going to leave me alone on the floor and walk away?"

"Oh, it's just for a few moments, I'll be right back," Draco answered. "Unless, you want me to stay?"

"No, it's just odd. In two and a half years you've never left my side at a club, you're always fending people off and now you're just edging to get back to your friends."

"It's not that, I am just not in a mood to dance at the moment, and I wanted to get a drink. I know that I've acted crazy and possessive the years we've been together, I just wanted to give you space and I trust you."

"Yeah, that's one way to look at it," Theo responded.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, just get me a gin and tonic."

"Are you sure? I can stay."

"No, just get me a drink Draco, whenever you're done chatting with your friends."

"I'm not-" Draco couldn't finish his sentence Theodore had turned towards his friends. He walked back to the bar, he stayed away from the group of the three people, he supposed he wanted to prove to Theo that he really just wanted a drink and not to talk to his friends. He felt and hand brush him in the back and thought that Theo might have come after him, when he turned to look he was surprised. "Potter, hi. Having fun?"

"Just got here, as you know." He laughed. "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, just getting a drink for Theo, where's your mate?"

"Oh Blaise is flirting with him, I received my cue to leave," Potter answered. Draco nodded in acknowledgement. "Yeah, the only way I could get Blaise off of me was if I promised to introduce him to someone just like me, so I invited Caleb. They seem to be hitting it off, I think."

"I thought he was mildly in love with you," Draco commented.

"Yeah, that's why I figured they should just meet each other." Harry laughed again taking a sip of his rum and coke.

"Are you trying to get members of The Harry Potter fan club to shag each other?" Draco joked and Potter didn't respond. The bartender placed Draco's drinks order in front of him and Draco spoke again grabbing them, "Do you want to come join the group?" He walked away not looking back when he reached Theo, Theo looked behind him confirming to Draco that Potter had followed him. Draco introduced Potter to Theodore's friends, a few moments later Blaise and Caleb joined them as well.

One of Theo's friends took the liberty and pulled Potter to dance with him. Theo smiled at Draco and did the same. The night continued on as the music got louder and judgements were further impaired thanks to alcohol.

Eventually Draco took a break from the dancing and Theodore to visit the loo. When he returned his gaze fell upon Blaise, Caleb and Potter engaged in a three-way dance assimilation. No matter how much Potter acted humble and unpretentious, he was a dance whore, Draco thought. His inhibitions, modesty, reticence dissolved in one ritual. Draco was developing the notion of intoxication again, watching Potter was always fascinating. Theo soon approached Draco and wrapped his arms around him again. Draco closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation of another body close to his. He attempted to let go of his inhibitions and just move with the music. He tried to forget that there were people around him, to just enjoy.

"You're so amazing Draco," Theodore whispered. His attempt to be uninhibited had worked, Theo continued, "I've never seen you like this before. You seem pleased." Draco laughed at Theo's confession and kissed him. Theo's response to his movements had been authentic and pleasing. He thought maybe Theo wasn't so self-centred after all. Maybe he saw Draco and truly did appreciate him for who he was, how he was. Theo continued to whisper sweet nothings in his ear as they danced together, Theo's hands freely moving all over Draco's body.

"Do you like Harry?" Theo whispered causing Draco to snap his eyes open in shock.

"What?" Draco all but screamed his question.

"Don't you think he's hot?" Theo asked in a seductive manner. The question wasn't in a way Draco had initially thought, but still didn't understand Theo's gesticulation.

"Sure, he's my friend," Draco answered truthfully, as best as he could.

"Do you think he'll want to come home with us tonight?"

"Theo, what are you saying?" Draco was shaken; he didn't understand what was going on. Theo had never in the three years they had known each other, the two and a half years they had been dating ever mentioned a threesome.

"I am so turned on right now Draco, I want you, and I want to take someone home with us tonight. What do you think about Harry?" Theo whispered in Draco's ear again, his hands still caressing Draco's sides, his body still moving against Draco's as Draco stood still, stunned.

"Theo, I can't…I don't… I don't share," Draco answered honestly. The question remained, did he not wish to share Theo with someone else, or did he not wish to share Harry with Theo?

(A/N): This chapter was inspired by one of my reviewers who commented on Theo being so self-centered and I wanted to elaborate on that and was inspired to write something that made him look ridiculous and selfish. Did it work? Review!
