(AN: I started writing this before publishing my protector 3 💀 anyways I'm debating making this its own book, but also don't want to commit to making this a whole thing and is probably start it from Harry being hired and I'm not good at slowly turning mutual indifference into romance)

Harry opened the door to leave, but before he could Narcissa grabbed his wrist tightly, her nails digging into his skin. "What exactly do you think you're doing?" She asks.
"I have to go, I shouldn't have come here-" Harry began
"My son is a sobbing mess again and you're leaving him?"
"I can't do this to him. He loses everything if he runs away with me-"
Narcissa slapped Harry across the face, hard. "You are his everything." She said "I'll help out where I can and Lucius will come around eventually. He's not really losing anything" Narcissa pulled Harry away from the door and shoved him towards Draco.  "Now fix this before I have to bail Bellatrix out of jail again"
Harry looked at Narcissa and felt like a little kid who'd been acting out in class when he saw the stern look on his face. "Yes ma'am" he said before returning to Draco "I'm sorry, you can come with me" he told Draco
"No! If you don't want me I won't stop you from abandoning me"
"Draco I wasn't going to abandon you, I just didn't want you getting cut off" 
Draco crossed his arms and turned away from Harry "no, I won't force you to stay" he says
Harry sighs "you're not forcing me to stay-"
"Really? Because you were about to leave me a minute ago!" Draco snapped
"I didn't want to" Harry wrapped his arms around Draco only to be pushed away "I just felt like I had to, to protect you..."
Harry looked to Narcissa for help. "Draco you can be dramatic about Harry trying to leave you later, right now you need to get your stuff and leave with Harry, your father could be home any minute now"
"I'm not being dramatic!" Draco said defensively "this is a perfectly normal reaction-"
"Draco you dated him for 6 months"
"...we only got together 4 months ago?" Harry said confused
Narcissa looked at Harry "then what the fuck were you two before that?"
"I was his bodyguard?" Harry looked confused.
"Bodyguards don't carry bags and go out to dinner with you, that's what boyfriends do"
"Draco always bought more than he could carry, and he didn't want to be eating alone..."
"You carried him around the mall bridal style, and you weren't dating- are you like that with other omegas?"
"No, of course not! Not when I already have an omega" Harry promised
"Good. Now go get Draco's things, I don't know how much time before Lucius gets home"
Harry looked to Draco for agreement, "just because I'm running away with you doesn't mean I'm not mad at you!" He said and Harry ran upstairs grabbing the two bags Draco had pointed out as "just the essentials" and carrying them out to his car. Draco followed, but didn't say anything to Harry.
After a silent car ride Harry brought Draco's bags into the house and up to his room "you can sleep in my room, and I'll take the couch " Harry offered.
Draco said nothing as he began unpacking his bags. Harry watched as Draco pulled far more clothes than would logically fit in the duffle bags.
"Are your bags bigger on the inside?" Harry joked, but Draco showed no reaction. "Draco, look, I'm sorry I tried to leave you, I just want what's best for you, and I don't think being broke is something you'll enjoy"
"We're not broke, your parents are rich, aren't they"
"Yeah, but I don't want to rely on them, I want to make my own way in the world..."
"So I really am poor now" Draco looked down
"You have me" Harry says "and I have savings, and work experience, I'm sure I can find a new job-"
"I don't want you guarding some other omega" Draco said crossing his arms. "You're supposed to be mine"
"I'll find a different job then, maybe a bouncer at a club or something, I'll make sure you don't have to give up everything"
Harry took Draco's hands "we'll work this out, together" he promised. "Now, lemme introduce you to my roommates-" Harry began leading Draco downstairs, stopping in the living room where Ron was watching football while Hermione reading. "Ron, Hermione, this is my boyfriend Draco"
Ron paused the game and stood up "this the one that ghosted you?" He asked
"I didn't ghost him, my father blocked his number, and said if I unblocked him he'd take my phone away" Draco explained
Ron looked Draco up and down before turning his attention back to the football game. Hermione looked up from her book "Draco malfoy, heir to the Malfoy family fortune, right?"
"Not anymore" Draco looked down "my father cut me off for dating Harry"
"You'll have to get a job then, the cafe at the bookstore i work at is hiring" Hermione offered
"A job..." Draco made a face
"If you get a job you might be able to still afford the stuff you like"
"I'm an omega, I'm not supposed to work, I'm supposed to stay home, take care of the children, and have my alpha take care of me"
"I'll do my best, but it's difficult to support two people on one income" Harry says
"Or malfoy could stop being a spoiled brat and get a job" Ron suggested

"Draco's making the same mistake Andromeda did" Bellatrix looked at her sister "and you're just letting him throw his life away?"
"This is one of Draco's first relationships, hell eventually realize he's too good for that Potter boy and come crawling back" Lucius spoke. Narcissa looked at her husband and took his hands "but what if he doesn't, what if Harry really is the one for our boy and we're not giving him a chance just because of his parents..." She tried reasoning with her husband.
"If James Potter hadn't married so below his social class Harry might have made for a suitable mate for Draco, but James ruined the Potter bloodline by marrying that nobody" Lucius looked at his wife "I just want what's best for our son"
"And I want him to be happy, and being with Harry makes him happy" Narcissa argued
"He'll never truly be happy if he settles for someone beneath him like that Potter boy" Bellatrix looked at the couple "he needs an alpha that's above him, one of higher status not a charity case, what about Theodore Nott? His parents work for Riddle and he's about Draco's age"
"Once Draco is done with this Potter nonsense I'll set the two of them up, until then no one is to support Draco while he's with Harry" Lucius said firmly.
"He's our son" Narcissa took her husband's arm "we should still make sure he's okay-"
"Which you can do without supporting him financially. If he really wants to be with Potter he won't mind not having money."  Lucius said firmly

"How do I look?" Draco spun around for Harry, he was in a black shirt, leggings, and a green apron, ready for his first day of work at the cafe in the bookstore Hermione worked at.
"You look beautiful as always" Harry kissed Draco on the cheek and smiles at him "good luck with your first day of work" Draco smiled back and kissed Harry softly before leaving with Hermione.

Draco came home in tears "I can't do this!" He sobbed as he ran into Harry's arms "the manager is horrible and the customers are so rude"
Harry wrapped his arms around Draco and held him close. "Draco, that's just what work is like" he says frowning.
"I hate it! I'm not going back." Draco decided
"Give it time hon, it gets better"
"No! I can't take the verbal abuse from customers. I'll get another job, I promise, just not one where I have to serve people "
"Draco, almost all jobs require serving others in some capacity, what are you gonna do?"
"I'll be a model" Draco says
At that Harry knew he'd landed in a minefield. If he said anything to imply he thought Draco couldn't be a model, the omega would throw a tantrum about how Harry didn't think he was pretty enough, however he didn't want to put false hope in his partner. "You'd make a great model, but-"
"There's no but about it" Draco lightly hit Harry's chest "I'm pretty. I'd make a great model, period"
"You can't just become a model overnight, you're gonna have to work for it, maybe start as a photographer or something"
"Why would anyone hide my beauty behind a camera?" Draco looks at Harry "do you not think I can be a model?"
"No no no no no, that's not what I think" Harry switched to damage control mode "it's a problem with the industry. They look for experience rather than just looks" Harry tried
Draco was starting to glare at Harry
"If it were purely a beauty contest I'm sure they'd hire you in a heartbeat"
Draco's glare softened.
"But they might want someone with experience so they know the model can do the right poses and everything"
Draco nods and Harry thinks for a moment that he had gotten Draco's expectations to a reasonable level.
"So I should just enter a beauty pageant directly"
Harry restrained himself from physically face palming "that could work bu-"
Draco cut him off with a kiss "it will work, you'll see. I won a few when I was younger I'm sure it's not hard to get back into"
