Draco looked around the shopping mall with boredom, eyes flitting around from one shop to another. Nothing was that interesting to look at because everything was something he had already seen. His best friend, Pansy, was babbling right next to him about buying some makeup for herself when suddenly, something caught his attention. He saw his favourite book series had already been published at a bookshop. He forced down an excited squeal at the sight.
"Hold on, Pans. I need to get something."
He walked towards the book hurriedly and went to grab it but as soon as his hand touched the cover, there was another hand reaching for it as well. Draco prolly wanted to snap at the person to let go. However, when he turned to face the unknown person, he inhaled sharply, eyes widened a little at the sight of the most handsome man he had ever seen in his entire life.
"Oh, sorry," he apologised with a lopsided smile. "You can have it instead." Draco felt his heart fluttered so badly in his chest because how can a handsome person like him be such a gentleman? "O-Oh, no no. Uh," he stuttered in reply. "Y-You can have it though. I insist," Draco looked down shyly as he gave the book to the green-eyed male.
"You sure about that?" the man asked for confirmation, running a hand through his hair, hopefully not noticing that Draco died a little on the inside because of the action. "Y-Yes," the blond blushed. "I can always find them somewhere else. No worries. Uh, have a nice read!" Draco stepped back and waved at him shyly before rushing off towards his friends that had grouped with a squeal.
Pansy, Theo, Blaise, Greg, Vincent, Daphne, Millicent and Astoria looked at him weirdly. "What is wrong with you? Barely even a day in 2021 and you lost a few brain cells already?" Millicent asked and instead of being insulted, Draco just covered his face embarrassedly. "I wanted to get my favourite book series that got published and this guy was reaching for the same book. He was so hot! His messy black looked so sexy on him. His green eyes felt like he was staring straight into my soul. He even has amazing tattoos on his arms!"
"Your father would have kittens if he knew you're attracted to a delinquent, Draco," Blaise smirked.
"Is that the guy you're talking about?" Pansy pointed somewhere behind Draco, who stiffened at the mention of the sexy guy he saw. "Wearing round glasses and a leather jacket?" Theo then said.
"Fuck-"
"Hi," he greeted sheepishly and Draco turned around with wide eyes. "H-Hello," he stammered out nervously. His friends eyed him with a smug smirk on their faces. He usually wasn't this much of a bumbling mess but he wasn't sure why he was nervous around this guy, heart hammering in his chest. "Here," he handed him the book he wanted. "I just thought that perhaps you'd like it more than my friend does. You do look excited about the book and you reached for it first. So it's kinda only fair that I let you have it instead."
Draco stared at the book in front of him for a few minutes before taking it slowly. "Y-You're so... thoughtful. Thank you," he flashed him a shy smile and the male shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, cheeks flushed red as well. "Well, yeah. Anyways, I have to go. Nice to meet you, pretty boy," the black-haired male grinned and saluted lazily at him before leaving.
Draco eyed the book with a hard contemplating look, not knowing if he should follow his guts. "We can share!" he blurted out and hugged the book to his chest tightly out of reflex. The other male turned around in surprise and Draco just flushed like a tomato. He felt like he wanted to die on the spot, wishing that the ground would open up and swallow him. His body tensed further as he mumbled out, "I can... I can let you read it once I... finish it if... if you want." He shuffled his shoes on the marbled floor lightly.
The leather jacket guy chuckled softly and ruffled his blond hair gently. Draco tried not to let the weird sound escaped his mouth as he internally died. "I wrote my phone number on a piece of paper for you so you can hit me up whenever at anytime," he grinned, leaning against one leg. "Definitely wouldn't mind if someone as beautiful as you texted me. Anyway, I have to go before my godson starts driving his grandmother crazy. Hit me up when you feel like it, pretty boy."
"M-My name's Draco," he said shyly and the guy smiled fondly at him, green eyes kind and gentle. "I'm Harry," he then told his name and with that, he finally left.
Draco immediately opened the book as soon as Harry turned his back on him and squealed excitedly at the paper with Harry's phone number on it.

You're beautiful by the way x
- Harry
