To Love Him

Draco gasped as the air filled his lungs.

"It's okay," Harry whistpered, "You're okay. Calm down Dray."

He brought Harry's strong chest toward him to bury his face in the warmth.

"What was it baby? What happened huh?"

Draco shook his head and instead of answering, asked a question of his own.

"My father is coming tomorrow isn't he?"

Harry pulled him closer, rubbing his spine in soothing circles.

"Actually, since it's two o'clock in the morning, he's coming this afternoon."

"I'm so sorry Harry! I didn't mean to wake you up. Maybe I should sleep on the couch. This is thrid day in a row!"

Harry pressed a kiss to his head.

"That's nonsense Drake. You're staying here, in our bed, and you're going to stop talking like that. Besides, you chase my nightmares away, the least I can do is help you deal with yours."

The savior of the wizarding world stood, bringing Draco up in his arms bridal style.

Draco squeaked.

"What are you doing?"

"You're all sweaty. I'm putting you in the bath."

Draco dropped to his feet, setting the water how he liked it.

He turned nervously to Harry when he was done, feeling victorious at the lingering eyes on his pale chest.

He coughed to clear the rasp fro his throat before asking, "Join me?"

Harry looked at him with a conflicted expression, debating with himself.

Draco looked away, not letting his dissapointment show as he stripped hurriedly and slipped behind the curtain. He didn't see Harry remove his shirt and trousers to head in behind him. He did however, feel him as he moved in behind him and ran a hand down his back.

All his nerves hit him then. Hands visibly shaking as he tried to nonchalantly reach for the shampoo. Harry took the bottle from him, placing a kiss to is neck.

"Do you want me to leave?"

"No!" Draco turned, putting a hand on his chest, "No."

He stared at his neck, not allowing himself to stray.

Harry lifted his chin.

"Draco," he urged, "Stop worrying. This is just a step okay. Look at me."

Draco nodded, looking into the green eyes holding him captive.

"No," Harry smiled, "Look at me. All of me. You have that right Dray."

He swallowed his nerves before trailing his gaze down Harry's body. He followed the tan skin down to his rather large half-erect length.

He bit his lip, filled with conflicting emotions.

Arousal and fear.

Harry lifted his chin again, cradling his face in his hands.

"You are not ready yet Dray, that's okay. We will wait to bond until we are both ready for everything that entails okay? I won't push you. I promise. "

Draco nodded again.

"Speak to me Dragon. What is it?"

Draco cleared his throat.

"I- um- That is- If you would like- You can- uh- look."

Harry smiled softly, moving to kiss him softly.

He roamed Draco's pale form, taking in the toned stomach and legs. He stopped at his manhood, eyes flashing up to Draco's.

"You are so beautiful Dragon."

Draco blushed prettily.

"No. I'm-"

"Beautiful. Absolutely perfect."

Draco shook his head.

"No," Harry gripped his chin, "Repeat after me. I am beautiful."

"I'm not saying that Harry."

Harry pulled him close, shutting his eyes when they brushed together to bring his focus back to the subject at hand.

"Say it. Say it because it's true. You are beautiful."

Draco pursed his lips.

"Dray. Say it. Tell me. If not beautiful, how do you see yourself?"

The blonde buried his head in the crook of Harry's neck.

"Skinny. Pale."

"Beautiful," Harry whispered.

"Coward."

"Strong," he said.

"Weak. Used."

"Beautiful."

"No."

"Yes," Harry insisted, "you are. You are so beautiful Dray. Inside and out. So beautiful."

Harry cut off his argument with a kiss.

"Say it."

"I-I-I can't."

Harry nodded, brushing away a stray tear from his cheek before pouring shampoo into his hand.

"I'll remind you everyday until you believe me. You are beautiful."

Draco turned away from him, watching the water circle the drain.

He felt fingers at his scalp, working through his hair and massaging his head.

"It's alright baby, I'm not angry."

Draco pushed back into Harry's chest, resting back on him.

Harry rinsed the soap from his hair, lathering his hands with suds to coat Draco's body with.

It's about to get a bit heated.

He washed him from his position until he couldn't any longer, moving down to wash his legs. He moved slowly but surely, massaging away the tenseness of the muscles. He moved his hands down to his buttocks, massaging the smooth globes.

He continued his ministrations until Draco relaxed, deciding then to spread the cheeks and run his tongue along the exposed area.

Draco gasped, clenching his legs.

"Shh," Harry soothed, stroking Draco's thigh.

"He reached in again, running his tongue experimentally around the rim of tight muscle."

Draco sucked in a breath, but didn't object. Harry crawled around to his front, deciding to save that for another time. He took in Draco's impressive length to the root, watching as silver eyes bulged and he bit his lip.

"Harry- don't-"

He was released quickly and Harry was on his feet.

"Did I go too far? I'm-"

"No I just- I won't last. I haven't- I don't want to- well-"

Harry swallowed his protests in a heated kiss before trailing his lips back down,

Harry sucked lightly as he bobbed up and down. He fondled Draco's sak with his fingers before releasing them in favour of feeling Draco's thighs.

"Harry! I'm-"

Harry slurped at his seed, releasing only when the muscle had softened in his mouth.

"Beautiful." Harry said, standing to pull Draco into a hug.

Draco moved to drop and attempt to return the favour when Harry held him up.

"I'm taken care of," Harry assured him, "Seeing you was enough for me."

Draco kissed him, "Really?"

Harry took a minute to soak in the feel of Draco in his arms.

"Yes really. I already told you that you are beautiful. You're exquisite when you lose control like that."

All clear

Draco turned beet red, burying his head in Harry.

The taller boy flicked his wrist, turning the water off and summoning a towel. He rubbed himself and his partner dry with great care before swepping Draco into his arms again.

"I need to get dressed," Draco admonished.

Harry nuzzled his ear.

"No you don't. We only have a few hours of sleep to get in, then you're coming with me to the bank to help me understand everything they're going to tell me."

"What do you mean?"

Harry shifted, setting Draco down on the counterpane before flopping down beside him.

"I am heir to the Black name, as well as whatever being a Potter entails. Not only that, but they have to set up guardianship for Teddy, and I want you there for that. Plus, I asked them to draw up a list of all my posessions. I want you to help me muddle through it. Think you can do that?"

Draco nodded, "Wait, Teddy? Lupin's son? What does that have to do with you?"

Harry traced random shapes onto Draco's chest.

"I'm his godfather. I have to sign over to have joint custody with Andy. I'll only have him for a few weekends here and there, and maybe longer during our breaks this year. After school I might have him a bit more, but he will be mainly Andromeda's unless something happens to her. We both agreed that I'm too young for a child and that I know nothing about raising a one."

Draco shifted so htat he was facing Harry.

"Do you want children?"

Harry thought for a minute.

"Maybe one day. Do you?"

Draco frowned.

"I don't think I would be good dad. I refuse to turn out like my father.."

Harry pulled him into a tight embrace.

"I think you would be a great dad, but we have plenty of time to think about things like that you know."

Draco sniffed.

"You know, as a submissve veela I can-"

"No. I know how dangerous that is. I would adopt. I wouldn't- Dray?'

Draco had turned from him, holding a pillow to his chest.

"I'm tired Harry," he said.

"Draco. What did I do? Talk to me Dray."

He rolled over, turning molten silver eyes on his mate.

"You don't want children of mine? You don't want them with me?"

Harry hurriedly pulled him to his chest.

"No, no baby. You've got me all wrong. I love you! Of course I want to have children with you Dragon, I just don't want to put you in danger. There is a 65% chance that you will pass away If we went through with a male pregnancy. I refuse to hurt you like that. If we decide to have kids, we can adopt."

Draco blinked away the traitorous wetness that had filled his eyes.

"You love me?"

Harry kissed his forehead.

"I do. I love you very much."

Draco smiled, kissing Harry's shoulder.

"I love you too."

Harry got comfortable, pulling Draco to him again to settle down.

"Well, I'll see you in a few hours my love."

"Sweet dreams."

Sorry for the wait, but I was on vacation. I gave a bit of Drarry goodness to hopefully make up for it.
