Draco's POV:
As i wake up I feel..warm? *my blankets heavier then I remember..*
It takes me about 10 minutes to fully wake up. I swing around..and immediately im face to face with potter THE potter like Harry fucking potter. "Fuck." Was the only word that came to mind as he opened his eyes. "Oh He-" i push him off the bed as he hits his head on the nightstand and slowly sits up. "First of all. OW?! Second your the one who would let me leave?!"
We just sit and stare at eachother for a while. "Oh....sorry." He stands up and walks to grab his book? Note pad? Idk. He walks to the door and pauses "You were having a nightmare and I helped. You wouldn't let go of my arm." He walked out closing the door behind him.
I curl up into a ball on my bed blushing like crazy. "I can NOT like Harry James Potter." I throw my pillow at the wall "UGHHHH"
A few minutes later I head angrily to the bathroom.

Harry's POV:
.
.
.
I Walk into Lunas dorm yawning "Oh hey Harry where were you?" I wonder if I should tell her but shake that thought out of my head "You will NOT believe this ok so."
After telling her the full story start to finish she laughs "sooo do you like Draco?" "WHAT?! No no! Not- ugh." She looks at me with..worry? Concern? "You do know it's ok to like him? Right?" "yeah. Yeah I know it's fine but I don't." *i cant. But I do.*
.

.
.
*I havent heard from Ron or Hermione all day. Ig I'll go to them*
I walk through the halls till I reach Ron's dorm.
I had texted them a bit before but no answer.
As I walk in I could hear laughing I was gonna walk in but my body stopped me and I had a urge to just listen. So that's what I did. And what I heard hurt.
"So Harry's bisexual? Isn't that just..gay-"
"Ew omgggg!!!"
"Always thought he was a fag"
"OMG SAME"
"I'm so glad he was dumb enough to sign that idiotic paper! Lmao now we don't have to see him!"
But what hurt the most were..Ron was the one laughing and agreeing..and Hermione wasn't doing anything to stop them.
I..I just turned around and walked out. Walking through my head filled with thoughts of how and why what did I dos. Every question hurt more and more to ask myself. I couldn't focus I couldn't cry I couldn't breathe. The lights were bright the talking was loud. To loud. I ran to the bathroom. Making sure no one was in there I locked the door and ran to a stall sliding down the wall I broke down Sobbing.. *i hate it here! I don't wanna be here..get me out please...* I covered my ears and closed my eyes but I could still hear the talking. After about 30 minutes i uncovered my ears and wiped my eyes. I stand up and walk out of the stall splashing water on my face drying and walking out of the bathroom. It felt like everyone was looking at me I just wanted to curl up into a ball and never wake up.
I head to the slytherins dorms. Luna would ask questions I don't wanna answer rn and it's lunch so everyone is heading to the cafeteria. I walk into Draco's dorm and lay down falling asleep immediately tears running down my face.

About an hour later Draco's POV
.
.
.
I didnt See Potter at lunch i Wonder where he went.
As I open my door I see potter sleeping in the other bed. He looks peaceful unlike his usual monotone face or angry. *I'll let him sleep ig* I walk to the bathroom to take a shower.
.
A few minutes later
.
I step out of the bathroom towel around my waist. I look up and see potter staring. Not at my face or abs nope at the scars on my left wrist his right. I swing my arm around my back. As he stands walking towards me.
Once he's standing in front of me he holds out his hand "wrist." I hesitate staring at his hand. He takes his other hand and rolls up his sleeve to show scars a LOT of them and very very deep. New and old. "..." I didn't know what to say so I just gave him my wrist. He examines my wrist looking at the deepest ones. Some are still bleeding two a lot more then any of the other ones.
He drags me to his bed saying nothing. I sit down and he grabs a black box from his bag. Opening it it was a first aid kit. It seemed to be made for this exactly. He grabs out a spray bottle of what I'm gonna guess is water and sprays it on a rag pressing it down it definitely wasn't JUST water. It stung a bit. After cleaning it up he grabbed out gauze and sprayed that unraveling it and wrapping the thin sheet around my arm. Taking out a wrap next and scissors he wraps my arm to my elbow not on it but right before. Cutting off the excess before taking what looked like a fingerless glove and putting it over the bandages. Throwing the trash away and putting everything back into the box and back into his bag he sits beside me. "Wanna tell me why?" I was silent did I want to tell him? After a little more silence I decided to tell him only a part of it "I have nightmares. Every night without fail. Can't sleep for hours or even at all after one." He sits there for a second "that's not all. I can tell but I won't push. Did I help when I was here?" I thought about it. Yeah ig it did i Didn't wake up and that was the first time in years I slept good. "Yeah actually." "Then how about we make a deal." "A deal?" "Yes. I can stay in here and in return I help you with nightmares." I thought about it. "Fine. But you sleep in my bed." I cringed and regretted saying it as soon as I said It he was about to talk before I cut him off. "Nvm it's stupid." "Not stupid. I was just caught off guard but I can if you want it doesn't bother me." The only reason I offered is cause I loved waking up to him it was warm and nice that morning was the first time I fully felt ok. Until I pushed him off the bed of course- oops. "So deal?"
"Deal."
