To the anonymous reader Hana, my reply to your review is well I cannot promise anything except that this is a legit Drarry fic ;)
Chapter 11
Draco stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom brushing his teeth but his mind wasn't really into brushing his teeth the correct way. He was just so grateful to Harry for breakfast and a bit thrilled that they had a "thing" now though the thought of it made Draco blush furiously even though he was alone, and even more he was still so damned nervous about his present for Harry. He couldn't stop thinking about the possibility of Harry hating it. What if Harry thought he was pathetic or a ponce or something, there was simply a myriad of possible disasters that could occur. Draco felt tears threatening to fall. He just couldn't have Harry not liking him, Harry was the only person he had. No, he cannot let that happen! He couldn't even imagine a life without Harry anymore even though he'd only known the boy for half a year. Draco was brought back to the present when he heard a knock from the door.
"Draco, you'd been there for half an hour. I think your teeth are sparkling clean already." Harry said impatiently. Draco smiled. He truly was fond of the brunette though the other boy's hair was another thing; Draco was not fond of that, it was always so damned messy! He just wanted to fix it or something! Draco smiled wickedly and opened the door and grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him inside the bathroom.
"W-what?" Harry stammered.
"We're fixing your hair." Draco said with an evil glint in his eyes. He knew just how much Harry hated having to fix his hair a few months ago when he attempted putting gel on it but Harry just ran, literally ran, away from him. Harry began pushing against Draco, attempting an escape but Draco held his arms tightly. Draco may seem smaller than Harry but he wasn't weak.
"You're not escaping me, Potter." Draco said with a smirk.
"No, c'mon, Draco! Anything but this!" Harry pleaded. Draco's grin became wider.
"No, we're fixing your hair. Its Christmas!" Draco said.
"Yes, its Christmas so c'mon, let me go!" Harry begged. Draco pushed Harry onto the wall and looked at Harry, straight in the eye, locking Harry in place with his leg.
"I'm your best friend ain't I?" Draco said
"Yes, so please let go of your best friend." Harry said hopefully, his green eyes looking directly at Draco's grey ones. Draco considered it for a moment then shook his head, no. Harry just sighed and Draco smiled triumphantly. He made Harry sit and began fixing the other boy's hair.
Two and a half hour later Draco was frowning in frustration. Harry's hair was unbelievable! He couldn't fix it!
"What's wrong with your hair?!" Draco complained. Harry sighed and stared at Draco.
"I tried telling you not to bother, didn't I?" Harry replied.
"But…ugh." Draco said annoyed. Draco opened the bathroom door and sat on his bed, crossed his arms and pouted. He wanted to fix Harry's hair but more than that he wanted to see how Harry would try and make him feel better. A few seconds later Harry walked out of the bathroom and found Draco pouting. Draco saw Harry sigh but continued his little act. Harry walked over to him and sat down on his bed, beside Draco then put an arm around the blond.
"I'm sorry my hair cannot be fixed. If I knew how to fix it then I would if it would make you happy but I don't and…I'm sorry." Harry said, sadly, as though he was about to cry. Draco looked up at him and actually saw tears pooling. Draco's eyes widened, he didn't know he could make Harry cry. Draco sighed. He wanted to keep up his act but he didn't want to make his best friend cry on Christmas…or any other day, in fact. Draco leaned on Harry's shoulder.
"Its okay." He said. "I love you with your messy hair anyway." He mumbled in a barely audible voice. Draco dared sneak a peek at Harry's expression but it seemed he didn't hear what he said. Draco looked away. Oh well, he did love his best friend…
Harry smiled inwardly. He heard what Draco said about him but he just didn't know how to react so he acted as though he hadn't heard. I love you too Draco, you're my Draco and we'll forever be best friends I promise you. Harry stood up and looked at Draco. He figured he could at least make Draco feel better by giving his present so he began to reach under his bed.
"What're you doing, Harry?" Draco asked. Harry looked at Draco and debated within himself if he should already give his gift to Draco. He looked at Draco and pictured the smile the other boy would be wearing once he gave him the broom and he just couldn't possibly wait any longer to see that. He reached further under his bed and retrieved the broom.
"Happy Christmas, Draco!" Harry greeted and handed Draco the broom. The look on Draco's face was shocked, unbelieving then finally grateful. Harry saw a single tear fall from Draco's right eye. The blond seemed speechless and just gaped at him.
"H-harry, I…I don't know what to say. I love it! But…i-it must've cost a lot! I saw this, I wanted this a-and…" Draco stuttered.
"You're worth it, Draco. You deserve that." Harry replied, smiling. Draco began sobbing. Harry's eyes widened. He expected to see smiles not tears but… Harry sighed and took Draco in his arms and whispered to his best friend's ear "I love you too, Draco. We'll be friends forever, I promise." then planted a kiss on Draco's forehead. Draco smiled.
"Yeah, forever. I'll get you my present then." Draco said. The other boy went to his wardrobe and rummaged through his things. Harry watched Draco as he retrieved a small box from his drawer and turned to Harry, fidgeting. He walked towards Harry and handed the small box to him.
"Thanks." Harry said a bit worried. He was wondering why his Draco was feeling queasy.
"I-if you hate it, its alright. I-I'll buy you a new one a-and…" Draco stammered. Harry opened the small box and looked at Draco with his mouth open, unable to believe what the blond said. How could he possibly hate this? He loved it! He loved it so much! Not only was it the first present he received and it had been from his best friend but it was also very touching to be given a necklace of a snake who was as silver as Draco's eyes when they were twinkling. Harry smiled.
"Oh, Draco, I love it!" Harry exclaimed. Draco breathed a sigh of relief. Harry laughed.
"I don't understand why you were so nervous! I'd love anything you give me but this…I absolutely admire it!"
Draco's smile was just the best thing Harry'd ever set eyes upon. He loved it, every time Draco smiled he felt so giddy inside.
I hope you liked it! Please leave a review before you go =)
