Chapter 9:

(Draco's P.O.V.)

I woke up to a sleeping Potter in my arms and the bright sun trying to seep through his dark curtains on his window. His hair, even more messy than usual, had bags under his eyes accompanied by tear tracks. My heart broke. His hand was draped around my waist. And his other circling my waist from behind. Me, probably crushing his poor arm. His face on my shoulder and my arm around his waist and under him.Well that explains the numbness and weight not only on my arm but my heart, I thought. Being held like this, by him, after everything was too much. Too much to take in. My head was pounding. Eyes going unfocused and room tilting. I felt nauseous. From heartache and sickness. I stuck my nose in his cinnamon smelling hair. I cried, trying my hardest not to move too much, not wanting him to wake to me crying. Knowing this is the last time i'd be able to be in the arms of the man I love.

(Harry's P.O.V.)

His arms, they were fragile, but strong. Holding me like a bird in a cage, knowing I'd get out if he opened his arms. He held me tight, close to his chest. Unconscious, I knew he was performing his powers. I felt his magic. Simmering around us as a protective shield. His breathing slow and beautiful. I felt him inhale and exhale, breathing tufts of curls off my forehead. Letting them rise and fall, like our love. Friends, enemies, partners. Now what? Here he was, holding me, like I was the key to the secrets of the universe, and he was protecting me. With his vault of arms and chest of locks. He held me with passion, yet he didn't want any of this. His actions said one thing, his words said something else. Was he drunk on pain? Was he confused? Worried? Scared? What was he? What IS he? He is mine.

I shifted. Feeling a some kind of glare hit me hard. I ignored it and snuggled into my pillow. It smelled of smoke and lavender. A weird combination, but a beautiful release. I inhaled deeply, trying to slip back into unconsciousness. My pillow inhaled and exhaled happily and I felt compressing around my body and a face in my hair. I shifted my body carefully and felt two arms on me. I immediately scooted back, extending my arms and hitting my captors face. And kicking them with hard blows to the crouch. Multiple times. I realized it was a male. He yelled. "POTTER POTTER DAMMIT STOP STOP IT'S ME" I heard him say. He grabbed my shoulders and forced my chin to look at his face. "It's me, Potter." I realized it was Malfoy. His blond hair curly on his head and face red and eyes bloodshot. Blood was trickling down his lip. The robes on him, opened to reveal his milky white skin. My breathing hitched as i remembered last night. "You fell asleep in my arm you dumb. git." He said straining his voice. His hand left my shoulder to his crouch. He let his head fall and he hissed. "Damn potter. You hit me hard" he said. As he coughed blood. I coughed awkwardly. "Er, let me help you" I said. I reached for his face and I left my hand on his chin to look at my face. "No, Potter, it's fine..I-" he said. He stopped when he looked at me. Reading my face. I stared at his grey eyes. Falling deep within his eyes of mercury, they were glossy and silky, not unhealthily, but beautifully. But I couldn't ignore the sickness deep within. They seemed to overcome me. Pale white in the middle getting to a dark grey on the outside. Around his face everything turned mercury. I was deep in his eyes, not seeing anything but him. His hand reached to cup my cheek. His eyes fluttered close and he leaned in. No, he doesn't want this. He wants to use me. I slapped him. Leaving a nasty red mark and a sting on my palm. "What the hell was that for?!" he asked. His eyes looked even more glassy. He was swaying. His hand left my cheek a while ago to rub his jaw and cheek.
"You just want to use me!" I said, already tearing up. "Like everyone else, money, fame, or sex" I spat. "Just like you. All of them" I choked out. Crying at the end. "Malfoy, I thought we could get somewhere, us. Not as fuck companions but more!" I cried. "I wanted something more! I thought we could be something. I want you. So bad." I sobbed. "You keep me tied down to normality!" I cried. "I thought you were different. I thought you loved me for me. But no, you only love me for Harry Potter. The man I'm not. I won't be." I cried. I sniffed hard. "And you know what? Get the fuck out of here. If your not gonna be here for me, than leave. I'm not your sex toy, your tool, your pleasure. The me that's not any of that. THAN LEAVE!" I yelled crying and collapsing against him. I sobbed. "Draco, I just wanna be loved" I sobbed into his robes. He wrapped his arms around me. "Harry, I didn't want you just for sex" I stopped crying to look up at him. His eyes were filled with tears. "I..I was just so scared." He started crying. "No one ever loved me. At least not realistically. And I thought no one ever would. So when you asked me, I was so surprised you offered. I, I.. have liked you for God knows how long." He laughed through tears. "But, I thought you'd never love a Death Eater... a Malfoy. And a Malfoy couldn't love anyone either." He said. I looked at him. I was so relieved. He actually did. He..he didn't use me. He was scared. He was overjoyed because he liked me. He liked me. Draco Malfoy liked me.....and I...I was okay with that. I grabbed him and kissed him. I kissed him with passion. Because the man I loved, loved me back.
