Because you're the reason - Drarry

Ch. 1

"I don't like men anymore" Harry said, slamming his beer cup, hiccuping. He was clearly drunk, his glasses askew and his hair being more tangled than usual with the amount of times he kept fidgeting with it.

"I see," Draco said shortly. Watching his friend, one of the greatest wizards of all time, drink his soul away in muggle London.

"So you've gone back to being straight after all those years?"

Harry sighed drunkenly and burped "I might as well, my luck with women is better than it ever will be with men"

Draco sighed and shook his head, grabbing Harry's cup before he could chug it down again "Come on Harry talk to me, did something happen? Where's the happy-go-lucky guy I know?"

Harry groaned and grabbed his head "Well maybe I'm not the perfect golden boy you know!" he whined and Draco eyes widened at his sudden outburst.

"Harry you know that's not what I meant" Draco said sternly.

Harry just looked at him for a beat then sighed "I know..." Harry mumbled sniffling "I just hate the way everyone else sees me ya know?"

Draco sighed to himself. Harry was already way too drunk for Draco's liking and grabbed Harry's beer, giving him Draco's own cup of water and chugged down the rest of Harry's drink.

God Draco hates the taste of beer.

Harry looks at him for a moment and laughs shaking his head. Draco was going to ask what was so funny but Harry just sighs "That was mine" Harry whined.

"We both know you're a lightweight, plus you need to be sober so you can tell me what's wrong" Draco said wiping his mouth and gesturing to the glass of water in front of Harry.

Harry whined some more, grabbing Draco's cup of water and just staring at it.

"Do you know Luke Evans?" he says still staring numbly into the glass

Draco thought for a moment "The healer at St Mungos?"

Harry nodded "we were talking for a couple of weeks and then he stopped talking to me" Harry breathed in trying to keep his drunken tears from spilling "When I went to his work today and asked why he said that he couldn't date me because 'it just doesn't feel right'''"

Draco raised his eyebrow "that's absurd, what does that even mean?"

Harry hiccuped "That's what I asked! And when I asked he just told me that dating a person like me would be 'too much'"

Harry began tearing up "We were doing so well, I don't know what went wrong"

Draco took some tissues out of the tissue box besides them and handed them over to Harry

"Well that's just being stupid, He's just being a git, It's not your fault"

Harry blew his nose into the tissue harshly "No but it is" He whined

"Why?"

"Because!" Harry exclaimed "I'm Harry Potter the boy who lived, the golden boy- I mean it's true! I am too much! Every person I've gone out with and dated has always turned me down because they are so scared of the Daily prophet going up their asses!" He said slurring his words.

Harry cried some more and blew his nose loudly into the tissue "But Luke said he was different, that he wouldn't do that to me..." he breathed out shakily "and I thought he was too"

Draco just looked at the man that he grew up with looking so dejected. It always hurt whenever they were in this situation, and Draco hated the fact that this wasn't the first time. Draco's and Harry relationship started on a weird note, after the war they went their own separate ways ending on good terms, however when they both found out that they were both studying to be Aurors they spent their university years together as well as their working years together, their offices being right next to each other. Draco always found it hilarious that no matter what he did he could never escape Harry even if he wanted too. Thankfully to Draco once they began actually talking to each other Draco soon realised that Harry was actually a very enjoyable person to hang around, and as they got closer Draco thought it was time to reveal something about himself that he only told his closest friends.
