When hearts collide (drarry)

First Date part 1

Draco's POV
Harry kept our arms intertwined the entire time we were walking to Hogsmeade.  He had me laughing the entire way to the Three Broomsticks. By the time we were seated I had completely forgotten how nervous I was for this. 

"So, you look really nice?" Harry's compliment comes out as more of a question and zip can tell this whole thing is awkward for him. It's a little awkward for me too, but he's clearly more nervous than I am. 

"Harry, have you ever been on a date before?" I was silently hoping that he didn't find the question too intrusive. 

"I've gone on dates before, but not with anyone that I have actually liked before." The last part was a whisper and it was hard to hear in the crowded dining space, but I heard it nonetheless. I felt my cheeks heat up and I looked down hoping to hide the blush covering my cheeks. 

There was an awkward cough and I looked up to see Madame Rosmerta, 

"Sorry to interrupt boys but what can I get you to drink?" Now my face is really burning. 

"We will have two butterbeers please." I looked up slightly shocked that Harry ordered for me. Harry spoke up after Rosmerta left, "I hope you don't mind that I ordered for you. You seemed kind of flustered and I thought it would be easier if I just ordered for you." 

The entire time he was talking all I could think was,My god this man is perfect.

I cut him off before he could begin rambling, "That's perfectly fine, thank you." Now it's his turn  to blush. "Are you blushing Hare bear?" 

The blush deepens, "No and what is up with that nickname?" 

"The nickname was essential to making you blush harder. Key word harder, because you were definitely blushing." He started chuckling and I felt my knees go weak at the sound. It’s a good thing I’m sitting down. 

“Well I already know alot about you, but I still don’t know everything. I propose a game called 21 questions. It’s a muggle game that couples use to get to know eachother better.” I smiled a little, A chance to get to know Harry better. Why not? 

“Sure I would love to play. As long as I get to ask the first question.” He nodded. I didn’t think this through very well. I have no clue what I’m going to ask him. “uh...What’s your favorite colour?” I chuckled awkwardly, rubbing the back of my neck. 

“Well as surprising as this may be to you my favorite colour is not red it is actually blue. But not just any shade it has to be dark like a Navy Blue. Now, when did you know that you were gay?” I started full on horse laughing.

“Wow really starting off with the deeper stuff huh. Well I guess I have known since third year when all of my dorm mates started developing crushes. I couldn’t find myself finding any of the girls they found pretty sexually appealing. Then when fourth year rolled around I found myself suddenly dreaming of Cedric Diggory. That is when I finally came to terms with the fact that I am gay. You know what I am going to ask you the same question. So who was your gay awakening Potter?” 

“Back to surnames now? Well if you really want to know I am actually bi so my bi awakening was also Diggory. I had found myself admiring both him and Cho at the yule ball and went back to my room to freak out silently to myself. Of course that didn’t go to plan and Seamus found me. When I told him what was going on he explained to me that I was bisexual. I told Hermione the next day and she did a whole bunch of research so that I could better understand myself I guess.” 

I smiled at him, “I asked for your awakening not your whole life’s story.” Suddenly the light air around us grew heavy and the smile dropped from his face. “I was only joking, Harry . I love learning new stuff about you.” I reached across the table to grab his hands. 

However he pulled them back before I could reach and ran them through his hair, “No it’s not that it’s just you saying that got me thinking about some stuff I would rather not think about.” He put his hands back on the table and I grabbed them, “Do you want to talk about it?” 

He looked at me and there was a fire burning there that I immediately knew I shouldn’t have messed with. “I just said I don’t want to think about it so why would I want to talk about it?” His voice was cold and his eyes were dark. I pulled my hands back. I felt a slight fear in my heart. The look in his eyes was murderous and full of rage. I can’t tell if it’s directed at me or not. Maybe I should head back to the castle and let him calm down. 

“I am going to go back to the castle and give you some time to cool off. Come find me when you are feeling better.” I didn’t even give him time to reply before leaving the restaurant. I have never seen him that way. He was so angry and defensive. Maybe it’s for the best if we don’t try this out especially if I can piss him off without even meaning to. I felt a hand on my shoulder and spun around wand drawn, but quickly put it down when I realized it was only Harry. I jerked back. Logically I knew he wasn’t going to hurt me, that the anger he was feeling wasn’t directed at me, but hell I have been through a lot and to see someone I feel like I’m falling for looking at me that way it kind of hurts.

“I’m sorry Draco. I didn’t mean to scare you off. I promise I’m not mad at you. I am well aware that I have issues expressing myself sometimes and I know I have anger issues. I really want to finish our date. That is of course if you still want to?” He held his hand out for me. Hell we all have issues. I mean I have more than the average person. I know who Harry is and it would be wrong to judge him the wrong way over this one incident. I grab his hand, “Yes, but why don’t we go back to the castle and just eat in the kitchens.” His smile in that moment looked as if it could light up the entirety of Hogwarts all on its own.

“I would love that. Thank you.”
