When Love Said No (Drarry)

Chapter 12

Harry's POV

I woke up with a headache. I was disoriented and had no idea where I was. I looked around and saw I was sleeping on my table, and then I saw that Draco was sleeping on the couch. I groaned and stood up, stretching my arms. I drank way too much yesterday... I went and drank some medicine.

It's Monday today, but maybe we shouldn't go to school. Maybe tomorrow too... Draco is still hurt, so... He's too hurt to even try to protect himself if someone tries to hurt him again...

I rested for a second and started making breakfast. I felt bad about yesterday.. I didn't remember too much of the night, but I remembered I scared Draco a little... And he tried to make me breakfast and it was probably amazing, but I didn't feel like eating... I feel so bad now... It was one of my depressive episodes... Again!... I hate those, but at least it wasn't anything bad. Lucky for me AND for Draco, it only lasted for a day tho... Sometimes it lasts for a few days up to a week or so... I'll eat his food from yesterday later. I hope there is still enough for him to eat too... If not I'll just make him something else though!

I put the breakfast on the table and walked up to Draco slowly, trying not to startle him. "Good morning!" I said gently, stroking his hair. He opened his eyes for a second but closed them again. I chuckled. He's so cute when he sleeps... Ugh, that again? Gosh, what's wrong with me sometimes? "Sweetie, wake up!" I tried again as the nickname accidentally slipped out. He opened his eyes again, but when he was finally awake, he gasped and cowered back.

"I-I'm sorry! I... I didn't m-meant to o-oversleep, I'm s-sorry sir!" he whimpered as his shaky arms instinctively raised to protect his head.

"Hey, Draco, honey, it's me, Harry... Shh, it's ok to oversleep, I'm not angry or anything, ok?" I tried to reassure him. He slowly looked up. Then, suddenly, he started crying and looked back down.

"I-I'm sorry, I t-thought it wasn't y-you." he said, sniffling. "I'm sorry... I... S-Sorry, I'm s-so pathetic..." he whimpered, hugging himself. I slowly rubbed his cheek gently. "Buddy, it's alright, you're not pathetic, ok? You're amazing and I enjoy spending time with you, I promise."

He sniffled and looked up again. "P-Pinky promise?" he whispered. His eyes were big and kinda reddish. He was so cute, yet it made my heart break. I took a deep breath and smiled. "Pinky promise." I said, wiping his tears. He then broke down into sobs and jumped in my arms, crying in my chest. "I-I-I thought it was, I t-thought it w-was f-father... I h-had a bad d-dream a f-few days ago and I-I thought it w-was r-real this tim-me..." he cried, clinging to my shirt. I rubbed circles on his back, trying to calm him down.

"It's ok, Draco, I'm here now. Nothing bad will happen to you. ok? I won't let anyone hurt you." I said, praying that it was true. I wouldn't have let someone hurt him on purpose, of course, but... No one could REALLY guarantee that he would never get hurt again, obviously... But he needed that promise at the moment. After a few minutes, he calmed down.

"Hey, I made breakfast. Are you hungry?" I asked. He nodded slowly. "I... It's ok t-to eat... R-Right?" he asked, playing with his fingers.

"Of course! I hope you like it!" I said, ruffling his hair. He giggled a little. He reminds me of a child sometimes. He's adorable. I gave up trying to lie to myself at that point. It was a fact that he was cute, so!

We sat at the table and started eating. He seems to like the food, judging by the way his eyes lit up when he tasted it. "Draco, do you want to tell me what your nightmare was?" I asked. His eyes widened and he shook his head "N-No.. Please, I-I d-don't want to t-talk about it... S-Sorry..." he whimpered.

"Hey, it's ok." I said. "No need to talk about it now, or ever. But if you want to talk about it sometimes, know I'm always here to listen, alright?"

He looked up at me and nodded. "Yes. T-Thank you.... H-Harry? I... I can cook too, y-you don't have to... I... My leg s-s-still hurts, but it's-s better, I p-promise I can... T-Thank you for d-doing chores in m-my place w-when my leg hurt, b-but I can do them now. I-I even made food the day before, I c-can make it again, I... I w-will clean too, um.. I.." he looked down, as he started panicking. "Draco, it's ok. I cooked because I wanted to, ok?" I said. He just stared at his lap, shaking.
