Draco woke to the tell tale sounds of Harry's whimpers. He blindly reached a hand out to Harry's side of the bed, only to be met with the sheets.
"Harry?" Draco tiredly asked.
Harry's whimpering increased and Draco worriedly sat up. Through the dark, he could see Harry, sat at the foot of the bed and hunched shoulders shaking.
"Harry?" He asked again.
Draco pulled the covers off and set his feet on the floor, sucking in a soft breath at the cold. He softly pattered to the end of the bed and sat next to Harry. He sat close enough so his boyfriend could move closer if he wanted, but not too close, considering Harry might not want to be touch right then.
He watched Harry's shaking form for a moment. "What's wrong, love?"
Harry flinched at the nickname. "Don't- Don't say that," Harry quietly said.
"Love?" Harry flinched again. "But I love you."
A tear fell from Harry's eye, and Draco resisted the urge to take him in his arms. But he couldn't, not yet, he never knew how Harry would react.
"Please stop saying that?" Harry shakily asked, another tear falling. And then another.
Draco looked down at what Harry had been looking at since he sat down. Harry's long sleeved pajamas had risen up and revealed the tight, scared skin of his wrist.
"Hey," he said softly, slowly reaching for his arm, "is this why you don't want me to say 'I love you?'"
Harry's body shook in silent sobs. Draco slowly inched his way closer. He softly ran his thumb over Harry's scars.
"Y-Yes," Harry shakily replied.
More tears fell from Harry's eyes and Draco's heart broke. He slowly raised a hand to wipe them away, glad when Harry leaned into the touch.
"There's nothing wrong with your scars, love. You're not ugly or weak 'cause of them."
Harry suddenly released a loud sob, and Draco felt releaved that he was finally able to relax around him.
Draco rubbed circles on Harry's back. "Shh, it's alright. Let it go."
Harry continued to cries for a couple minutes before they finally slowed.
"You want to go back to bed?" Draco tentatively asked.
Harry silently nodded and Draco helped the both of them to their feet. Once Harry was situated under the covers, Draco wrapped his body around Harry's smaller one. He wrapped a hand around his back and pulled him in, so his face was tucked under his chin, and their legs were intertwined.
"I love you," Harry mumbled into the taller's chest.
Draco kissed the top of Harry's head. "Love you too."
