Drarry One-shots *TW* lots of angst

Addiction pt.2

The first day and night Draco was detoxing were miserable for him and Harry. Draco was shaking quite hard and pouring sweat. Everything he ate he threw up and every time he tried to drink something he threw that up too. Harry felt pretty okay for the first day and night. He spent his night holding onto Draco trying to keep him safe and to comfort him as much as he could. He didn't know what else he could do.

The second day was the worst for Harry. Draco wasn't doing much better either. Harry spent his day throwing up and shivering on the bathroom floor of the Slytherin dorm. Draco sat next to him rubbing his back and trying to stop his own violent shaking and nausea. They both cried that night while holding onto each other. They had agreed to stay with each other to avoid them waking up and relapsing. It took about a week for the Pixie to completely get out of Draco's system.

Draco took full advantage of him and Harry's agreement to keep the bathroom private and do substance checks once a day. This did mean that Draco had to find a new spot for the blades and such but that wasn't too hard. Everytime he got an extreme craving he cut. It curbed the cravings but it was getting harder for him to hide it from Harry. The wincing when Harry touched his sides or arms was unavoidable anymore and the blood that inevitably got on his white school shirts was becoming completely unavoidable. The simple fix to his shirt issue was to cycle through his black shirts he wore for outings but it was hard to do that when he had been wearing his white undershirts all of break so far.

He made the switch to wearing his black muggle hoodie everyday. Harry was impressed that Draco was allowed to have a muggle clothing article; Draco informed him that no one else knew he had it. It was the easiest way to hide the bloodstains from Harry without getting questioned. After their week and a half of detoxing they briefly addressed their relationship and what they wanted to be. They had been sleeping in the same bed and cuddling every night for a week, They had never quite discussed what they were nor what they wanted to be. "What are we Harry?"

"I don't know; What do you want to be?

"I want to be yours." He said confidently, "But I'm scared of what will happen if we make it official."

"What could happen if we made it official that you are so afraid of?" Harry asked.

"What if people target us or what if my family finds out."

"No one will fuck with me, I'm Harry Potter, and I dare your family to try something." Harry said cockily, he wasn't totally wrong either.

"What if we keep it secret until we figure everything out then we can slowly start telling people."

"I like that idea." Harry said standing and walking over to sit criss-cross in front of Draco. "Draco Lucius Malfoy, will you be my boyfriend?"

"Of course." Draco replied, smiling broadly.

They took full advantage of the week they had left of Christmas break. The first night they slept together as a couple Harry told Draco a bunch of stuff. Draco's favorite part of the conversation was when Harry told him: "You can't imagine how long I've wanted to hold you like this, without worrying about what it means or anything. That and I've been waiting to tell you how amazing you smell."

Draco snickered, "Well for the record you smell very good as well, What cologne do you use?"

"Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, You?"

"I use a few different ones but my favorite is Dior Sauvage, closely followed by Dior Fahrenheit."

They fell asleep soon after more discussion about cologne. Harry moved out the day before people started coming back. Spending the night alone was strange for them both, while both enjoyed the privacy that left them open to cravings and their thoughts neither of which were good things. They both did just fine and met in the dining hall before people started arriving. Draco stood alone in the hall waiting for his friends.

"Draco!"

He barely had time to turn his head by the time the short black haired girl slammed into him. He hugged back, swallowing down a whimper of pain. "Hello, Pansy."

"So Draco if you're here right now that means you didn't leave." She smacked his shoulder, "Blaise is going to be pissed."

"I don't think he will be too mad once I explain some stuff."

Pansy eyed him with curiosity. Before draco could decline a reply Theo walked up. "Hello Draco, Pansy." Theo said, nodding in each direction.

"Hi Theo." Draco said stepping forward in hopes of a hug, he knew to let Theo initiate though. Theo did, he hugged Draco loosely before giving Pansy a brief hug as well.

Blaise came up to the group shortly after. "Draco, you owe me an explanation right the fuck now."

"It's going to have to wait Blaise." Draco replied.

The realization hadn't quite set in that he would have to explain his situation yet.

Almost all of the Slytherins were back timely as usual, the Gryffindors however were not visible at all meaning none had come back yet. The group of Slytherins had been sipping on hot tea for over 20 minutes when the entire hall echoed with the shriek of Hermione. "Harry!"

Draco watched Harry brace himself to catch the speeding girl. He heard both peoples laughter carry throughout the hall. Ron walked slowly across the hall. Draco could see the greeting between the boys was tense even from clear on the other side of the room. They spent the rest of the day helping friends get unpacked and settled back in. It was over a week before Draco and Harry got more than an hour together. They spent their free time on Sunday in the ROR enjoying their time together for the week. Keeping each other secret was hard. It was next to impossible for Draco to tell his friends the story of him getting drugged without mentioning Harry. They had set a time to tell everyone, after the Hogsmeade trip this coming Friday. They agreed that no matter the bad they couldn't just hide anymore.

*time skip to next Friday*

Draco woke up early to get ready for his first real date with Harry. He showered, pulled on a black turtleneck and black jeans, grabbed his cloak and rearranged his hair. He met Harry at the hogs head. Him and Harry had argued briefly about Harry being anywhere near alcohol but in the end it was the safest place for the boys to meet. They snuck around the stores and tried to stay out of sight. At the end of their date they went to the shrieking shack to say goodbye. They kissed sweetly and hugged each other, "I'm going to head out first then you head out in 5." Harry said quietly.

Draco nodded and waited for Harry to be far out of sight before leaving. The walk back was cold but Draco was too high on life to feel it.

Draco walked into the dining hall the next morning only to be greeted by hundreds of kids staring at him. "Why are they all staring?" Blaise leaned over to ask.

Draco had an awful gut feeling he knew why they were staring. They walked to the table like normal and began eating breakfast. About halfway through Harry came over and handed Draco a copy of the paper. The front cover was a picture of them staring into eachothers eyes by the shrieking shack.

"Well shit."
