One Night - Drarry

I'm a mess

<-Harry's pov ->
"Harry!" I heard from behind me, I immediately recognised the accent, Draco.
"Harry! Why did you do this?" He took off his robe and wrapped it around my cuts, putting pressure on it.
I winced a little and then I leaned on him since I felt weak.
I don't care that it's Draco.
He grabbed me softly by the arms and sat on the bed that was behind us, with me sitting/leaning on him.
"Why are you being so nice? Why are you even here?" I ask him as tears filled my face.
He looked at me with worry on his face.
"Why are you so worried?" I asked, "Aren't you happy?"
"No!" He shouted, is he angry?, "Why would I be happy!? Harry, you hurt yourself on purpose. Why?"
"I thought it would be better. I can't stand being alone all the time. Everyone avoiding me. No one cares. I hate it. So I decided to..." I told him honestly, trailing off. He grabbed me and hugged me. At first I was tense then I relaxed into his embrace. I hugged him back, enjoying his warmth and the feeling. He let go and looked into my eyes. I could see his eyes were glossed over too.
Is he crying for me? Does he... care about me?
"Oh.... Harry all you had to do was talk to someone. A teacher. Anyone.
I'm sorry for being such a jerk to you and your friends.
I only did it 'cause...." Draco said trailing off, looking away.
What is up with him? He's never like this.
"Draco..." He looked up startled to hear his name. "Thanks for being here.
I forgive you. I really don't care about what you did to be honest.
I'm just glad you're here." I said, blushing a little. I gripped his waist and buried my face into his chest.

"Please don't leave." My voice muffled by his clothes.
"I won't." Draco said, holding me.
I felt a small warmth for a second on top of my head.
Did Draco just kiss my head?
Honestly, I don't mind. I blush a bit more. I close my eyes and snuggle
closer to him, letting another tear escape.

A minute passed and Draco pulled away, "Harry, I want you to do something for me, can you do that?"
I nodded.
"Good. Now listen to me. I am going to heal your cuts but while I'm doing that I need you to tell me exactly how you are feeling and why you decided to do what you did. Can you do that for me?" He asked with his voice in a serious tone, I was silent, I didn't reply to him, before I looked up and saw tears forming in his eyes and he looked down at his hands which were now holding mine , "please.." he whispered.
My heart broke even further, Draco is crying for me?
Without thinking further I answered, "yes I can do that."
Draco nodded as he took out his wand and gave me a sad smile.
"From where do you want me to start?" I asked
"I.. I want you do tell me, why."
As he started to heal me I sighed and started to talk,
"Ever since Hermione and Ron haven't been talking to me, I've
been feeling so lost and lonely. After a while, I couldn't stand it
anymore so I snuck one of the sharper knives from dinner into my
room, the first one was in the near end of 7th year. Since then I cut my arms so it bleeds. Which gives me joy. That joy almost replaces the emptiness inside me but it makes me feel better." Draco suddenly stopped and looked at me sadly, I gave him a sad smile as I continued.
"The thing is no one notices I'm suffering. I don't eat much. I don't sleep much. I don't do much anymore. All I seem to do anymore is cut myself. Everyone ignores me. No one cares. I've gotten to the point where I don't care anymore. I'm tired of everything. My life with the Dursley's every summer. My life at Hogwarts. I'm starting to realise that there's no reason for me to existing."
"No." Draco gasped, "No it's not true..."
"It is actually, I have no one to exist for in my life. Hermione has Ron and her parents. Ron has a whole family to live for. You have a family to live for." I said as Draco looked at me in the eye and hesitated, "Y-you have me."
My eyes went wide, what does he mean by that?
"You and me were the same, I too feel like i have no one to live for..." I waited as Draco took his wand and mumbled a spell, and put his wand back, and then I saw... his forehead was bleeding and I pretty sure he was wincing when we were hugging not sobbing... Harry knew... he had been in Draco's position half of his life with the Dursleys... "Draco.." Harry whispered as he took out his wand and started to heal Draco too.
"Yeah... I'm a mess aren't i?" Draco chuckled but winced again, "ribs?" I asked, "yeah, courtesy of dear old dad."
"Take off your robes and shirt." I said and Draco nodded.
After a while he was sitting on the bed shirtless with harry in front of him
"You know.." Harry asked, looking at Draco in the eye when he was done healing, Draco's silver eyes shot up, meeting Harry's green ones.
"I-I think...", Harry sighed, " I think that we're both a mess." Harry mumbled, only then he realised that their faces were So close. He could almost feel the heat coming off of Draco.
They stayed in silence for a bit when suddenly Draco's eyes dropped a tear as he held Harry's face and pulled him to a soft kiss.
