love over lattes // drarry

009

The clock struck twelve and Harry looked up from his tub of ice cream at Draco who was bopping his head from side to side to the music playing in the background which drifted slowly around the small kitchen of Harry's new apartment. 

"Wanna dance?" He licked the last bit of chocolate from the spoon and placed it in the sink. 

"Okay," Draco laced their hands together as they waltzed together. Harry rested his head in the crook of his neck and nuzzled into his skin.

"Does falling in love feel like this?" 

"Like what?"

"Like dancing in the middle of the night after a bucketful of ice cream." Draco chuckled softly and kissed his nose, "Maybe."

"How about going absolutely crazy that you can only think about one person?" Harry kissed the corner of his mouth.

"If that's it then I'm sure I'm falling in love with you." Draco mumbled softly, tucking a black strand behind his ear. Harry hummed with his eyes closed, "Me too." 

They fell asleep in each other's arms on the couch. The bed wasn't needed to feel comfort, the embrace of the other was all they needed to be happy.

"I'm so proud of you!" Draco squealed and hugged him tightly, spinning him around in mid air. Harry laughed loudly, yelping as Draco set him down, peppering his face with kisses.

"I finally got it!." He cupped his face, "I feel so happy." Harry chirped and kissed him, "I'm so, so proud of you, my love."

"Can you two get a room, please? You'll scare away the customers." Pansy deadpanned from beside them. Her face bent in disgust.

Draco rolled his eyes and looked around the cafe, they were all busy with their coffees. "They don't care. Only you do. Not my fault that you're too much of a coward to ask out Granger." 

Pansy threw a towel at him as Harry sniggered behind his hand. 

"Okay, go sit at the last table. I'll bring your favorite coffee." Draco kissed his cheek and ushered him to the seat he first sat near the red window. 

Harry blinked as Draco got not two but three cups of coffee. He wondered who would be joining them with a small frown.

"Lattes for my handsome employeed boyfriend." He said proudly and sat them down in front of him. 

Harry smiled, "Thank you, darling." He looked down at the three cups laid in front of him in a line. 

"Why are there—" The words died in his throat as he read the words written on the foam. 

An elegant 'I' in the first cup, 'love' in the second one and a 'U' in the third one. He felt his breath catch. 

"Draco—" He breathed out and looked at him. 

"I blew it, didn't I? I knew it was a bad idea." He huffed, cutting off Harry. 

"Shut up, you prat." Harry shushed him and picked up a toothpick from the table, carving the number two in the third cup alongside the 'U' and pushing it towards Draco.

Draco bit his tongue and sighed in relief, holding his hand and kissing it. 

When Harry first entered the cafe, be never expected to find the person he would spend his life with. 

Draco had never imagined either that he would find his love under the red hue of the window, under the shade of a tree, dancing in the kitchen under the refrigerator light. He found his love over lattes.
