Secret Divulged

~

Harry groaned. “You’re not playing fair,” he whispered.

Draco laughed softly, snuggling closer. “Have I ever?”

Sighing, Harry said, “I don’t want this to make things weird.”

Draco hummed. “Are you trying to tell me you’re married?”

“What?” Harry drew back. “No!”

Draco smirked. “Are you a Potter from the future who’s here to save the world, but who got distracted by my captivatingly gorgeous body?”

Harry rolled his eyes. “You’re impossible.”

“No, I’m gorgeous. Get it right.” Draco chuckled as Harry stuck his tongue out at him. “Right, now that you’re out of your funk, tell me what’s wrong.”

Harry stared at Draco.

Slowly, Draco’s smile faded. “You look so serious. Is it that bad?”

Harry exhaled. “No. At least, I don’t think so? It just may not be something you’re prepared to hear now. Maybe in the future, when…if we’re still together, but as it is, it’s probably too early— Mmf.”

Sighing into Draco’s mouth, Harry relaxed as he was kissed calm again.

“You were babbling,” Draco said when they broke for air. “Now, just tell me. Whatever it is, I’ll deal with it.”

“I’m in love with you,” said Harry. And closing his eyes, he waited.

Eeeee! How could he not be?

[alisanne]

How indeed?
Although I guess we'll find out soon. ;)
Thanks, dear!

Ooooo, can Draco handle this news or will he think Harry is lying, or exaggerating? It's a helluva thing to say after being lovers for, what?—two days??

[alisanne]

Lovers for two days, yes, but they've been partners for a few months, and have known each other for years. I think it can happen. :)

Thank you!

Oh, I'm not doubting that Harry's in love! But Draco is, shall we say... not the most trusting person. (For good reasons, I hasten to add. :-\ ) He had to fight his way into the aurors & to finish training, & their current suspension has to be greatly unsettling for him. I just think that Draco will be rather defensive & suspicious right now, even of things that are purely personal, & bound to think of how any change might reflect on or affect his hoped-for career. Even if Draco feels overjoyed about Harry's declaration, he'll have middle-of-the-night fears & doubts about how well Harry can dissemble in front of their colleagues & superiors.

[alisanne]

I think this is all true, but the way I've set Draco up here, I think he's more open and vulnerable at the moment.
Thanks! :)
