Chapter 24

{A/N: Here is the last chapter of Paint You Wings, I hope that you've enjoyed my story. Thank you for reading. All of my love, J}

Harry had come to find that Draco added some much needed structure to his life. A schedule actually helped him to be more productive, and he found himself looking forward to his days of working with his boyfriend. The job could actually be kind of fun at points, but it proved to Harry that he was not permanently cut out for a desk job. Networking with people was fun, but the only papers Harry wanted to deal with were in his sketchbook.

This was some time ago, and Harry finally had the studio he had always dreamed of. Well, not quite what he had dreamed of. It was better, because he and Draco were co-owners and business partners now. Draco believed in Harry's vision, and he wanted to help bring it to life.

The studio was multi-purpose. Harry was able to use it for gallery showings, major projects that didn't fit in their flat, and also art classes. Harry had a knack for being around children and adored the art classes that he was able to teach. He ran classes for children of all ages, even the occasional one for adults. Some were free and others cost money, depending on the scale of what was being taught.

As he continued to live with Harry and watch him create art, Draco soon found himself yearning for that freedom once again. They would spend at least one day a week creating art together, and it was always something that Draco looked forward to.

Lucius still didn't quite support art as a serious career, but Harry had proven to him that if you put in the time and effort, you could achieve your dreams. All you needed was faith, and a loving support system, and Draco was perfect. It had taken just two more art shows for Harry to strike it big, and he was very grateful to his muse.

Harry had convinced Draco to show some of his art pieces at the shows, and they even collaborated on a few pieces. Their relationship was growing stronger everyday, and moving in together was one of the best decisions either man had ever made.

"Harry my darling, are you here?", Draco called.

"In the back my love!", Harry called back.

All of the children giggled, knowing what was to come. Draco had promised them a bit of fun on the first warm weekend that they had, and attendance was higher than it had been in weeks. No one wanted to miss this.

"Good morning my Harry. Why don't you change? I promised the kids that I'd take them outside for some activities. I'll get them ready so you have some time for yourself."

"Thank you my Draco", Harry greeted with a kiss. "They're very energetic today, it must be the weather."

"Oh I'm sure. Meet us outside when you're done?"

Draco had been planning this little prank for a few months now. He had convinced Harry that the children should wear white t-shirts when they paint as makeshift smocks to protect their normal clothes. A multitude of permission slips later, they were ready.

The children were in their clean white t-shirts, as was Draco. He had taken it a step further and bought white jeans for the occasion. All of the kids were wearing safety glasses, and were armed with water guns full of paint that was to be used for dying shirts.

When Draco had seen the paint guns he knew that he needed them. He and Harry thrived off of their teasing banter and small pranks. It kept the relationship lighthearted and fun, and Draco loved seeing the mischievous glint in Harry's eyes.

Draco did not, however, love when the kids had pranked him with glitter. Harry's punishment for that one was they had to shower together, with Harry not even thinking of the implications of that. He swore he still found traces of glitter if he looked hard enough.
