Draco ended up moving in with Harry after the death eater trials. Malfoy Mannor was under investigation by the ministry and even when the investigation concluded Draco never moved back. Harry never asked the omega to move back; he never wanted him to. Harry liked having someone around, and Draco was excellent at keeping grimmuald place clean and cooking food for the two of them. He had even made Harry heart shaped pancakes on Valentine's day. Problems started when Harry came home from work early and found Draco snogging Marcus Flint on the couch. Harry couldn't help but glare at them. Draco pulled away and blushed looking at Harry "you're home early" he says
"Can you two finish up, I'm not in the mood to have guests right now" Harry turned away and started putting his stuff away. Marcus kissed draco one last time before stepping into the fireplace and using floo powder to go home.
"What the hell was that about?" Harry asked, turning on Draco
"I told you he was coming over-" Draco said defensively
"Yeah, but you didn't tell me you'd be practically shagging on my couch"
"So what, I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend?"
"Not if he's not-" Harry stopped himself before finishing his sentence. He almost said 'not if he's not me' Harry sighs and shook his head "I'm not- I just thought..."
Draco crossed his arms "you thought what?"
"I don't know! I didn't think it'd bother me that much..."
"Well too bad! I'm an adult I can date whoever I want!"
"I'm not saying you can't, but Flint? Really?"
"He's hot, nice, and pureblood-"
"You still care about blood status?"
"No, but my parents do" Draco sighs "just forget I said that"
"You can do better than Flint" Harry says
"Yeah? And who do you suppose I should be dating?"
"Me!" Harry couldn't stop himself in time.
"So what? You really expected me to wait for you to get the nerve to ask me out? To just stay single because you might finally ask me out?"
"No..." Harry looked away "I expected myself to ask you out sooner"
"Well you're too late" Draco crosses his arms.

Draco's relationship with Marcus continued, and it was absolute torture for the two of them. If Draco left Marcus for Harry people would definitely talk about it, the daily prophet would have a field day calling Draco a gold digger, but staying with Marcus was agony. He couldn't stand knowing that the alpha he really wanted wanted him back.
"Marcus wants to move in together" Draco said one night, breaking the months of silence that had fallen between them.
"That's good" Harry says.
"I have no reason not to move in with him"
"Are you looking for a reason not to move in with him?"
"...no"
Harry sighs "why do you stay with him?" Harry asked "we could be together and happy, but instead you're with him and we're both miserable"
Draco looked at Harry "I have no reason to break up with him"
"I'm the reason you're breaking up with him, you wanting to be with someone else is a valid reason to break up with someone"
Draco shook his head "Marcus is a famous quidditch player, you're a famous savior of the wizarding world, I need a reason good enough for the daily prophet"
"Everyone knows that tabloid is full of shit" Harry says.
"No, everyone still thinks you and Hermione are a couple because the prophet said so, even though she's repeatedly come out as Asexual"
Harry looks down "what if I found you a reason?"
"Harry, I'm not breaking up with Marcus to be with you"
"Why not! You'd rather be with me, that's enough reason to break up with him"
"Harry" Draco takes Harry's hands "i- I can't.... It's best of I stay with Marcus, he's... It's not fair to him"
"What about what's fair to me? You've just been stringing me along this whole time?" 
"I was trying to get you to ask me out! And when you didn't I assumed you weren't interested " Draco explains.
"You were teasing me! With all those outfits and- and-"
Draco let go of Harry's hands and turned away "I'm gonna stay with pansy until I'm ready to move in with Marcus. I'll get my stuff when you're at work"
