If Only He Knew...

Still Breathing

It was 2 days later and it was the day of the house viewing and Draco woke that morning at 7:45am and looked over at Harry who was still asleep. They shook him slightly as Harry opened his eyes, "Morning," Harry smiled, slightly. "Morning, Harry, today's our house viewing." Draco said, now getting excited, "I know! Do you want tea?" Harry asked, "It's okay, I'll get in the shower first, but can you make me one for when I get out? I'll only be a few minutes." Draco asked, getting up and out of bed. They walked into the bathroom and Harry quickly ran over to the door before Draco shut it. "You've got fluff on your nose." Draco tried getting it but Harry got the fluff from their nose and brushed it off.

Draco giggled at Harry touching their nose, and walked into the bathroom fully and turned on the shower, letting the water run and get warm. "Harry, come here for a minute!" Draco called Harry into the bathroom so Harry came into the bathroom, "Would you mind helping me run the shower? I can't reach it." Draco asked and since they were short, they needed Harry's help, "Of course, lovely." Harry stood up fully to turn the showerhead up, "Up or down, lovely?" Harry asked, "That's perfect, Harry. Let me quickly grab today's outfit and then I'll be back in here." Draco said with a smile, walking into the bedroom and got a pair of dark green trousers and black short sleeved top with underwear and walked back into the bathroom, putting their outfit on the toilet seat.

Once Draco was showered, they walked into the bedroom, drying their hair with a towel and got their hair dryer. They dried their hair with the dryer and when their hair was dry, they brushed it through and decided on what to do with their hair, but when they decided on two tight French Braids. They walked back into the bedroom and Harry looked at Draco, "Your hair, you look really cute!" Harry smiled, walking over to Draco and putting his hands on their hips, "Is this okay?" Harry asked, "It's perfect, Harry. I know what happened to me was horrible and I can't trust many people but you, Harry. I can trust more than anyone, even my own dad, I can't trust because of many reasons because of the arguments and family trauma." Draco explained, "Even with my mum, I can trust her but not as much as you. Since you've taken care of me so much throughout the trauma, the crying, the sleepless nights, the panic attacks, the amount of times, I've wanted to self harm but you've stopped me each time with holding me because you've been there holding my hand." Draco finished, explaining with tears in their eyes.

Harry took their hand in his, "I know, darling, but I'm really proud of you for getting through the dark times where your mental health was bad and I know how hard it's been for you these past years with your depression and I know that it has been so hard for you." Harry said, pulling Draco into a warm embrace. Draco hugged Harry back, resting their head on Harry's shoulder.

Not long later, Harry was now driving towards the house in Gorleston on Sea from their hotel by the seafront. They were only five minutes away when Harry noticed Draco looking out of the window, seemingly lost in thought. The song "American Horror Show" by Snow Wife was playing in the background. Harry asked, "Are you okay?" since Draco wasn't looking anywhere else. They turned to Harry and shook their heads, coming back from zoning out.

Harry placed a hand on Draco's thigh, moving it up slowly while looking at the road. Draco felt Harry's hand squeeze their thigh, causing a warm feeling to spread through their body. Harry asked Draco to put their hand down, so he could move his hand up higher.

Draco leaned their head on the window in pleasure as Harry's hand reached higher up their thigh, moving back and forth in a comforting manner. The car pulled up outside the house, interrupting their moment. Harry removed his hand from Draco's thigh and parked the car. They got out of the car and headed towards the house, excited to start this new chapter of their life together.

The two of them walked up to the house, holding hands, excited to start this new chapter of their lives. As they reached the entrance, the estate agent greeted them with a kind smile and introduced herself with a shake of her hand. She led them inside and instructed them to take a look around before providing them a tour of the house.
