Draco stared at Harry from the other side of the Great Hall with a disgusted sneer and started singing:
Sometimes I hate every single stupid word you say
Sometimes I wanna slap you in your whole face (whoa oh oh)
Everyone in the Great Hall stopped at what they were doing to look at Draco with shocked that he actually knew a muggle song. Harry blinked at him with surprise knowing that the song was about him before he glared at the blond with disdain and sang:
There's no one quite like you,
you push all my buttons down
He then realised what's his next line was. With a bright blush on his cheeks, Harry added:
I know life would suck without you (whoa oh oh)
Smirking shamelessly, Draco placed his chin on the palm of his hand, elbow resting on the table, eyes half-lidded:
At the same time, I wanna hug you
I wanna wrap my hands around your neck
Harry rolled his eyes exasperatedly:
You're an asshole but I love you
And you make me so mad, I ask myself
Why I'm still here, or where could I go
You're the only love I've ever known
Draco smirked smugly:
But I hate you, I really hate you
So much I think it must be–
Harry's blush deepened to the point it spreads all over his face to his ears and neck as he sang together with Draco:
True love, true love
It must be true love
Nothin' else can break my heart like
True love, true love
It must be true love
No one else can break my heart like you
Harry sighed, covering his face while Ron stared at Harry as if he had swallowed a bunch of molded bread while Hermione just looked half-amused as he continued his lines:
Just once tried to wrap your little brain around my feelings
Just once please try not to be so mean (whoa oh oh)
Pansy was red in the face with anger because how dare Potter stole her Draco from her. But by the look of the Slytherin Ice Prince, he couldn't care any less about her.
Repeat after me now R-O-M-A-N-C-E-E-E
Come on I'll say it slowly (Romance!)
You can do it babe
Swallowing his whimpers, Harry glared at Draco harder but the flustered look kinda ruined the glare for him.
At the same time, I wanna hug you
I wanna wrap my hands around your neck
Draco:
You're an asshole but I love you
And you make me so mad, I ask myself
Why I'm still here, or where could I go
You're the only love I've ever known
Harry:
But I hate you, I really hate you
So much I think it must be
Together:
True love, true love
It must be true love
Nothin' else can break my heart like
True love, true love
It must be true love
No one else can break my heart like you
Ginny smirked as she recorded the whole thing on camera. Luna just leaned against her with a fond smile on her face. "They are really suitable for each other, don't you think?"
Then they noticed the slight shift on their expression. The teasing look had turned a little guarded as they reached the next part of the song.
Draco:
Why do you rub me up the wrong way?
Harry:
Why do you say the things that you say?
Together:
Sometimes I wonder how we ever came to be
But without you I'm incomplete
I think it must be
True love, it must be true love
It must be true love
As the song went to a slow, Draco turned his eyes away from Harry, body tensed while Harry looked at his plate with a frustrated look on his face.
Together:
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
No one else can break my heart like you

"I'm not sure why we're having this conversation again, Harry," Draco gritted his teeth in equal frustration as his boyfriend, turning his body to face away from him. "I just want to know why won't you want them to know? What are you so afraid of, Draco?" Harry huffed, arms crossed to his chest.
"I'm just not ready yet, Harry."
"You're... You're not ashamed of me... are you?" The anger that consumed him instantly changed into anxiety and overthinking. "It's because it's me you're dating with that you don't want to tell your parents? Isn't it right, Draco?"
Draco turned around to see Harry backing away from him slowly and he knew if he didn't do something, he would lose Harry.
But he didn't do anything as his body froze and his tongue felt too heavy in his mouth to move.
"Why aren't you saying anything, Draco? Tell me that's not true. Tell me the reason that you're so afraid to tell someone is not because of me," Harry looked at him with tears in his beautiful eyes that Draco had fallen in love with multiple times.
"N-No," Draco forced him to move, to say something. "That's not it, H-Harry. I swear. I–" he sighed heavily, closing his eyes as he squatted down, Pureblood ethics be damned. "Never had I ever imagine that you'll be mine, Harry but here we are still and it's not like I don't want to tell the entire world that you're mine but I have this irritating thought that once we tell them we're in a relationship, it might drive us apart. They'll be ruthless and they'll try to set us apart no matter what. It's not me I'm worried about, Harry. It's you."
"I don't think I'll ever live with myself if you had a sudden change of heart. I know you hate the media because it gives you no privacy and no space for you to do what you like without having it plastered all over England. Truth to be told," Draco smiled weakly. "I am scared but not because of what you think. It's because I don't you to think that this relationship isn't worth fighting for and maybe it's best to give it up."
"No!" Harry ran towards him and tackled him into a tight hug to which his Slytherin lover hugged him back tighter. "No. Merlin, Draco. I didn't know that's how you felt. If you told me from the start, I wouldn't have said anything. Hey, listen." Harry cupped Draco's cheeks lovingly. "I love you and I love every moment that I spent with you. I love everything that we do. Secret dates. Inside jokes. Snogging in random empty classrooms. If that's how you feel about coming out, I'm fine keeping it a secret. But I think that this relationship we have is worth everything to fight for, Dray. I won't give this up. I won't give you up because being with you is everything that I could have wanted."
"I love you too, Harry," Draco sniffled and they shared a very intimate kiss before pulling away with a shy smile on their faces. "We'll be okay, right?"
"Yes, love," Harry smiled a little dopey. "It's alright. There's... There's no rush and I'll wait for you however long you need until whenever you're ready, alright?"
"You're too good for me, my love," Draco smiled, a little too pleased while Harry rolled his own eyes and kissed him on the lips as they stood up. "You're too good for me too, sweetheart. Merlin, I love you so much," Harry grinned.
"I love you too, darling."
