(A/N): Sorry if it took me too long to update. I hate not writing for so long. I've been sick and sort of lost my muse for a few days but today I had time so just wanted to give you a quick chapter. Next one will definitely have good Draco/Harry action. Please write a review and let me know your thoughts!

The Breakup

The alarm at 7:00 in the morning was deafening. Draco woke up in his bed still half-dressed lying next to his fiancé who was in an equally similar state. "Bloody hell, what is that?" Theo asked turning and burying his head in the pillow in an attempt to drown out the sound. Draco slammed on the digital clock and silenced it.

He slowly got himself out of bed and gently began to disrobe. His head hurt, his entire body hurt and from what he remembered from last night, his heart hurt a bit as well. Draco sluggishly walked towards the bathroom and turned on the shower. The hot water felt good on his body and he stood under the running water, eyes closed for several minutes.

Softly he felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist and a set of lips kissed the back of his neck. "I miss morning showers with you," Theo whispered as his naked body pressed itself against Draco. Draco simply made an "hmm" sound and reached with his right arm to grab the shower gel.

"Are you still angry with me Draco?" Draco didn't answer right away and Theo slowly let go of his grasp. He turned Draco around to face him. "It was just an idea and I tossed it out the moment you said no," Theo's voice was defensive but fretful.

"No, I am not angry. I just would never think of such a thing, I don't think, so I was simply shocked. I thought we had the same ideals in our relationship. I never think about a threesome." Draco answered as he began to lather Theo as well as him. Theo turned and supported himself from against the wall, his body leaning into the wall, Draco knew what he was asking for, and Draco wasn't willing. He simple lathered Theo's back and pulled him back towards him, holding him as the water washed away all the foam.

"You've really never ever thought about a threesome?" Theo asked, his tone annoyed, Draco figured it was probably because Draco didn't shove his fingers up Theo's arse and instead simply continued washing the two of them.

"Not since I was eighteen and I had a dream with Nick Moran and Jason Statham," Draco answered. He grabbed the shampoo bottle and handed it to Theo.

"I am sorry if I thought about doing something to make our sex life more interesting," Theo retorted as he grabbed the shampoo bottle and watched Draco run his fingers through his hair.

"I didn't realise our sex life needed stimulus," Draco answered turning around and running his head under the water. A short moment later he felt Theo's finger trail a path from the back of his head down his spine to his entrance.

"No of course not, I am very happy with the way we … do things." Draco turned to take the shampoo bottle away from Theo and switched spots with him so he could run his head under the water.

"But, I am not enough." Draco looked at Theo up and down as he stood under the running water and left the shower, closing the door behind him. He grabbed a towel, wrapped it around himself and left the bathroom.

Theo called out after him but Draco didn't turn.

"What the hell Draco?" Theo came barging back into the bedroom a few moments later wrapped in a towel, still mildly drenched. Draco turned to look at him as he was changing into his trousers attempting to get ready for work. Not too long ago, the appearance of an almost naked Theo soaking in a towel would have immediately provoked Draco's cock and obliged him to shag Theo at once. But, Draco felt nothing. His mind was instantly reverted to the memory of Potter in a towel in his room at the castle during their trip to the Berks. Draco was done with this relationship.

"Theodore, I am afraid I have some bad news."

"What?"

"Do you want to get dressed? This is an awkward conversation; I'd rather you were comfortable."

"Draco, I don't understand," Theo answered looking confused as he grabbed his t-shirt and wore it.

Draco sat at the edge of the bed. He was nervous. He had to break up with Theo and it needed to be done right at this moment. He wouldn't feel right continuing with something that ended a long time ago.

"What's going on Draco?" Theo asked after he was fully dressed and was putting on his shoes.

Draco began; he spoke softly and at a slow pace as though every word he said was with careful consideration. "Theo, I am not sure how to exactly say this without sounding like a selfish bastard. And perhaps maybe I am being one, but I don't love you. I don't know if I ever did. I thought I did but, I was wrong and I could have continued on with our relationship but, I realise that it's not enough for a lifetime commitment. It's not enough for marriage."

"I know," Theo responded.

"What do you mean, you know?"

"I am not the marrying kind. I thought I was, I thought I was ready to be with you completely. But I see the way you look at him, you have never looked at me like that. And, I wasn't jealous. I mean I didn't like it but I wasn't jealous. I thought maybe if it was the three of us together, then you'd stay with me. I thought we could move in a direction that wasn't a commitment but it wasn't a break up either."

"So you suggested a threesome last night because you didn't want me to break up with you?"

"Yeah and I hoped that it would be Harry who rejected it, not you because then you would finally stop seeing him as more than a friend," Theo answered.

"But, you want to have an open relationship?"

"It's just a thought," Theo answered. He put on his coat and looked at Draco again, "I don't have my car, so I'll need to call a taxi."

"No, it's fine. I'll drop you off," Draco answered. The ride back to Theodore's flat was quiet. The two men sat in silence in Draco's grey BMW 3 Series that they had shagged in the first time they had had sex. Draco remembered the details of the night very clearly. He had opted not to drink more than one glass of wine that night whilst Theo had elected for four. Draco was particularly nervous that night because they had gone on five dates and besides some heavy snogging in the car and Theo's casual brush of hand against Draco's cock they had been quite slow in the progress of their relationship. When he drove to Theo's flat that night, Theo had told him that his flatmate was having a party and there would be over fifty people over at his flat. They would have no privacy. Draco as a joke had suggested that they should just stay in the car and they did, they sat in the back seat listening to music as Draco had found a dark corner to park his car in and they eventually found a comfortable spot where Theo could easily slide on and off his cock.

Draco stopped at the red light and moved his hand to turn the volume dial up. He looked at Theo and smiled politely. "Do you remember our first night, in this car?" Theo asked.

Draco laughed, and spoke, "yeah, it was quite the night."

"That night was the factor that kept bringing me back to you," Theo replied. "I suppose we'll always have that memory."

"It's a good memory to have," Draco answered. He pulled up to the building where Theo now resided, a small one bedroom condo, no flatmates, and plenty of privacy. Theo turned towards Draco and hugged him lightly. He kissed Draco on the cheek and noticed the small tear that flowed down his eye. Draco couldn't help but cry, even if he didn't love Theo, they had shared over two years together in a relationship and it wasn't easy to let go.

Theo grabbed Draco's left hand and squeezed it tight. He left the car and went into the building without looking back. It wasn't until Theo had left that Draco realised that he was holding onto his engagement ring in his left hand. And just like that, they had broken up in the same car where they had first shared their first kiss, and their first shag.

Draco drove to work straight after dropping Theo at his flat. He arrived at his lab and turned his laptop on. He wasn't sure what possessed him to do it but he went on the internet search page and typed in 'Conferences Toronto Canada 2005.' That led him to a website called 'Conference Alerts' that listed all conferences that were being held in the Toronto Convention Centre that year.

"Perfect!" Draco screamed at the top of his lungs with excitement when he found what he was looking for. He knew he had heard his co-workers discuss mid last year that they were interested in attending a conference called 'Challenges in Chemical Biology.' During that time Draco had dismissed the idea because he was more interested in his own research and publishing his own articles, but now, it seemed that this conference would be a gift from the heavens itself.

The three day conference was still a few weeks away so that gave Draco enough time to plan his trip. He couldn't simply just show up in Toronto because he wanted to see Potter, this would be the perfect explanation. Potter was scheduled to be in Toronto from the 28th of January until the 1st of March and 'Challenges in Chemical Biology' was over the weekend of 11-13 of February.

Draco instantly dialled Pansy to talk to her about his plan.

"What are you hoping to accomplish Draco?" Pansy asked via the phone sounding very indifferent, Draco had hoped that she would be exhilarated.

"I don't know, I just think I should go and see him," Draco answered.

"I don't know Draco; it sounds like you are just jumping from bed to bed. You and Theo broke up this morning and now you're planning to go to another country to pursue Potter?"

"We broke up because I realised that I don't love Theo, I want to be with Potter. Don't you think that he deserves to know that?" Draco asked shattered by Pansy's reaction.

"Then why don't you just ring him up, or send him an email?"

"You have got to be joking Pansy. How would you feel if someone told you they loved you via an email? I just want to go to the conference and I'll tell him that it was a surprise. We'll spend some time together whilst I am there and he'll finally be able to tell me how he feels. I just don't think I should ring him up now after both of us have just gotten out of a relationship. We both need some time, and I think two weeks apart would be good and he'll be happy when I just pop in front of him in Canada."

"How are you even going to find out what hotel he's staying at without letting him suspect some sort of a plan?" Pansy asked.

"I am sure his parents will tell me."

"You're going to involve his parents into this?"

There was a brief pause.

"Draco, what if by the time you've arrived there you find out he's met someone else?" Pansy asked.

"I am willing to take that chance. I know him, he's not going to shack up with someone so fast, especially when I know he feels something for me, but was just being a gentleman," Draco responded. Although he was one the phone, Draco had been best friends with Pansy for long enough to know that she had just rolled her eyes.

"Whatever you say Draco," she retorted.

"Pansy, why are you not on my side?" Draco finally asked. He was getting frustrated by his best friend's riposte.

"I am on your side Draco. I just don't think this is a well thought out plan. I just don't want to see you get hurt," Pansy replied. "I have to go, my break is over. Keep me posted nonetheless. Even if you decide to go ahead with the plan, I'd rather you still tell me everything."

"Okay," answered Draco and he soon hung up the phone. He was feeling discouraged by the lack of support he received. He decided to go to his supervisor next and discuss attending the conference.

Draco received a semi approval from his manager.

"Draco, we have a small budget and we can fund the attendance fee for the conference itself, however, we are unable to provide any accommodation stipend for the event. Ernie was interested in attending the conference himself and was quite upset with me when I had to break this new to him. He's now presenting at the conference and thus has gotten his airfare paid for by the committee chair at Oxford." Draco's boss, Mr Slughorn notified Draco of his request. Draco hadn't even thought about the monetary aspect of the conference. He was willing to pay for everything, he had the funds. He didn't realise that the only objection his superiors would have would be funding.

"Mr Slughorn, that isn't an issue at all. I am more than happy to provide for my own airfare and accommodation costs. I just wanted to ensure the time off and any approval I might need as I'd like to stay in Toronto for an extra few days after the conference is over."

Draco saw the surprise look on his boss' face. "You are such a brilliant scientist Draco and such a humble man, I sometimes forget where you come from," Slughorn commented. Draco hated being recognised for the fact that he came from money. His father was a famous philanthropist and his family had always been famous for having money. He hated that after all his hard work, it always came down to his family, and how much money they had.

Regardless of everything, Draco had to remind himself that money was the reason he was able to make this trip to Toronto. His mind immediately diverted towards Potter. If Potter were here, he'd tell me to embrace the moment and stop thinking rubbish about my family. Of course he's got a point but I am not going to tell him that, how can you argue with someone about the pains of having an agonisingly wearying family when their comeback will always be 'at least you have a family?' Stupid Potter. Potter was always the voice in his head now.

"Thank you sir," Draco woke up from his daydream and addressed his boss again. "So if you approve of the time off, then I'll start preparations." He smiled briefly and walked away returning to his lab.

Draco searched some more on the internet about things to do in Toronto and the various hotels that surrounded the convention centre. He tried to imagine the kind of hotel Potter would like to stay at. He eventually returned to work. After the day was over, Draco headed home. It was Friday night and he had no plans. He however knew one thing for certain; he would be headed to Islington the next day. He needed to have a conversation with Potter's parents.

Notes: Oooh a love story in Canada? What do you think will happen? Will Harry want him? Also thanks to everyone that's helped with pointing out any spelling or grammar mistakes! You are awesome!
