Chosen Prompt: Mistletoe
Chapter 16:
Draco was laying on the couch with his son reading a book when the floo flared to life and suddenly Harry, Maliki and Draconis entered his living room. Draco sat up as did Tobias, who jumped off the couch and ran over to the other two boys, grabbed their hands and ran up the stairs.
"I take it he was waiting for them?" Harry asked with a laugh.
"Yes. Come back tomorrow morning and they will be ready for you." Draco said as he placed the book down and walked towards the kitchen.
"Draco can we please talk?" Harry asked moving to follow Draco where he was going.
"Stop Harry. We are not going to talk. The boys are fine, now you can go home." Draco replied watching as Harry sighed and left.
The next morning the three boys were whispering at the kitchen table to each other and Draco smiled. He was glad they all got along and they were acting like brothers and friends. He heard Tobias giggle and look over towards him then quickly look away when he saw Draco watching. Draco tipped his head and watched as the three boys planned something together.
Draco heard the floo activate and walked into the living room to greet Harry. He watched as the other man tripped into the living room and tried not to laugh. Harry wasn't aware that Draco was standing there and quickly caught his barrings, brushing off the soot from his clothes and finally looking up, seeing Draco smirking at him.
"Ah. Hi." Harry said blushing.
"The boys are in the kitchen, this way." Draco said as he walked towards the kitchen with Harry right on his heels, only to be stopped by something invisible right in the kitchen door way. "What the hell?" Draco asked trying to move only to bump into Harry as he was trying to move also.
"Why can't we move?' Harry asked as the three boys in the kitchen snickered. Draco turned and looked at the boys and saw his son looking above their heads. Draco looked up and felt like he was going to become sick.
"Tobias what is the meaning of this?" He asked his son, turning to face him once more. The little devil just smiled at him as he grabbed the other two boys and ran out the back door into the yard.
"What's wrong Draco. Where are they going. What did they do?" Harry was asking behind him.
"Look up." Was all Draco said as he hung his head down and tried not to scream, the urge to kill his son, well sons becoming stronger.
"Oh." Harry said as he looked up and saw some enchanted mistletoe handing in the kitchen door. "Draco." Harry began touching his shoulder.
"Let's just get this over with so I can go kill our sons." Draco spat out and turned around to face Harry, locking eyes with the other man.
"Do you remember the night of the Mascaraed at Pansy's?" Harry asked.
"Yes I do. Now just kiss me so we can go." Draco almost pleaded.
"No. We are stuck here and I am going to talk to you, finally." Harry said and Draco leaned against the door casing. "That night I wasn't supposed to be there. I had a case to work on and I needed to get it done. Theo stopped by right before the party and told me to have some fun, relax. I worked to much and the boys were fine. We could work on the case on Monday. I still refused so he left. I finally got fed up with the paperwork and went to the party. Come to find out pansy already had a mask for me and threw it on my face right when I walked into their house. I had no clue you were there until I saw you. Even under the glamour's I knew it was you, I was always drawn to you." Harry reached a hand up and touched Draco's face, making him flinch away as he listened.
"That was the best night I had in a very very long time, since the last time we were together actually. I didn't want to leave. I wanted to stay there in that bed with you and never leave your side again, but I knew how you would react. I have made so many mistakes with us, I just want to have the chance to show you I am different. I love you Draco." And with that Harry pulled Draco's face towards his own and kissed him. Running his tongue along Draco's lips as he gently placed his hand on the small of his back. Draco hesitated at first but feeling that hand made him moan and open his mouth, letting Harry put his tongue inside and play with his own. When they pulled apart they were both breathless, Draco slowly stepped back and into the kitchen, just staring at Harry.
"I'm going to find the boys now." He said but was stopped by Harry getting in front of him.
"Please Draco. Let me show you I still Love you. Please." Harry pleaded.
"Fine I will give you one chance to show me Harry. It's not going to be easy. Those boys are all I care about right now and I am not going to let anything you do hurt them, any of them." Draco responded watching as Harry's face split into a smile.
"Tomorrow. I'll pick you up and Pansy will watch the boys here. Thank you Draco. Thank you." Harry leaned down and kissed him again before going out the back door in search of the boys. Leaving Draco confused and angry at himself for letting Harry talk his way into this, but also angry at his son for doing something like that to trap him with Harry.
After Harry left he sat down with Tobias to talk. The boy was ranting non-stop about his time with his brothers. He looked so happy. Draco raised a hand to get his son to stop his excited rant.
"Tobias why did you boys put that mistletoe up?" Draco asked and saw his sons face fall.
"We just want to be able to live together Papa. I like spending time with them and Father but we don't get to see each other all the time. We want you and Father to be happy. We saw Father looking at old pictures of the two of you and knew we had to try something to get you back together." Tobias stated.
"Well don't do something like that again Tobias. I love you and your brothers but I don't want you getting your hopes up about your Father and I, alright?" Draco asked.
"Yes Papa." Tobias stated and ran off to his room to play. Draco was worried about the next day. He didn't know what to expect from Harry and he wasn't sure he would ever be able to forgive him.
