They didn't talk much during the car ride, only small talk since Harry was too shy to actually string up a proper conversation. After they reached Number 4, Harry stepped out of the car, thanked Draco profusely and left with a giddy smile on his face. 

He was about to run to the doorstep but guilt crashed over him like the rain falling on his head. The car was picking up speed and moving further away so Harry did the first thing that came to his mind.

He ran after the car. 

"Wait!" He shouted over the rumbling thunder, his feet splashing in the muddy water. 

Thankfully, the driver saw him running like a maniac through the rear-view window and stopped the car, alerting Draco about him. 

"Harry?" He said in confusion as Harry came to a splashing halt beside the car, panting harshly. "Is everything okay? Did you forget something?" Draco got out of the car, his umbrella creating a barrier from the rain. 

"Yes." Harry gasped. "I lied. I'm not twenty. I'm seventeen, will turn eighteen next month. That's not my house. It's my Aunt and Uncle's. I live with them since my parents are dead. I'm sorry I lied to you. I just wanted to seem like you so you would like me." 

It took Draco a few moments to process this. He looked down at his feet and huffed out a small laugh. "That's okay, Harry." He smiled at the green-eyed boy. He tugged him under the umbrella.

"Really?" He said in surprise, his hair was dripping water onto his face. 

"Yes." Draco ruffled his hair with his hand and pinched his cheek. "Thank you for telling the truth."

Harry smiled, "Thank you for not being mad at me." Draco leaned down and kissed his cheek.

"Meet me at the cafe tomorrow, after closing time." He said.

"O-okay." Harry stuttered and turned red, "See you."

"Bye, Harry." His eyes twinkled.

He sat in the yellow car again, the bored driver drove along with a loud huff.

Harry stood drenched in the rain, water dripping down his nose, cool air making him shiver and the earthy fragrance filling up his senses.

He touched his cheek where Draco had kissed him with the tips of his fingers.

He could feel his heart thundering in his chest.
