Late Nights

Part 5

Five years later...

Draco was stirring a pot on the stove when hands wrapped around him from behind. Instantly, a smile lit up his face. He continued to tend to the food until he was turned around to face his snuggler.

"Happy anniversary," Harry mumbled before connecting their lips in a short, but sweet, kiss.

"You remembered. It's a miracle," Draco replied. Harry scrunched up his nose.

"I told you I'd never forget again. Especially with everything that has happened on this day through the years. Let's take a trip down memory lane, yeah?" Harry suggested. Draco nodded, urging Harry to continue.

"Well, ten years ago we had a very first kiss. That was the day that I realized you were it for me, you know. There was no way I could find someone as great as you. Then, five years ago, I was an incredible prick. However, you forgave me and let me pick a ring on your left finger. I will forever be grateful for that. Four years ago, we shared vows and I promised to make you the happiest man alive for the rest of our lives." At this point, Draco and Harry shared a deep kiss. Finally Harry broke off to add, "And two years ago, we got the call that gave us the whole world, and then some. Lily and Scorpius. From that point on, we decided to make a world for them that we never had. If I'm being honest, I would say we're doing a great job of it, too."

Draco wrapped his arms tighter around his husband and laid his head in the crook of his neck. Wandlessly and silently, the radio came on to play a slow song. They didn't know what it was, but they still swayed slightly to the tune.

"I need to finish dinner," Draco murmured. Harry hummed and let Draco go. Draco turned back to the stove. Harry walked to the cupboards to set the table.

"Ron and Viktor really didn't mind? Watching the kids?" Draco asked with a hint of worry.

Harry chuckled and said, "It was their idea in the first place. We haven't had a night to ourselves in so long, Draco. They were practically begging to watch them for us." Draco worried his lip.

"Is it bad that I miss them? After only an hour?" he asked. Harry came up from behind him once more and hugged him, plates in his hands and all.

"I miss them too. It's strange to not have them around, but this will be good for us. We haven't had time for us in nearly two years," Harry said. He trailed kisses down Draco's neck and Draco sighed.

"You're right. We need a break," Draco breathed. Harry left one final kiss before detaching himself to finish placing the dishes on the table.

When the food was finished and they brought an end to a very long dry spell, they laid together on their shared bed. Draco filled with warmth as he remembered that this was all his. He wouldn't pick any other way to spend the rest of his life.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you more," Harry responded, sounding sleepy. With that, they slept with the promise of forever.
