He saw a Draco clump up this stairs of the Astronomy Tower, and of course he had to follow him.

Draco's been distant for months, and Harry wants answers, even though he's sure he already knows the answer....

Draco's holding the railing tightly, Harry can see that even from standing behind him.

He must have felt Harry's presence more than anything because he whips around to face him.

Harry feels as though he hasn't seen Draco's face in years, when in reality it's only been a few months, but even still, that's so long to go without touching your lovers face.

He looks so scared and Harry can't blame him.

The war started years ago, he's just never noticed until now.

"I know what you did Malfoy!" He doesn't yell at him - he couldn't yell at him - but his tone is firm: he doesn't want Draco playing around right now. "You have it don't you?"

It's almost a rhetorical question. He doesn't need an answer but he wants it. He wants to hear Draco say it, he wants to hear him admit it.

"I was chosen!" He rips his sleeve up on his left arm, and... there it is. The Dark Mark. Voldemort's Mark. His enemies mark.

He knows, he knows, that Draco didn't choose this. Harry knows that Draco might not like his family anymore, but he'll protect them to the ends of the earth. It's such a destructive cycle.

Harry's breath is taken away just looking at it. It's a dark, ugly thing, that's for sure, but, had it not been associated with his enemy, and was just a tattoo, it could be beautiful, almost. 

He walks over to Draco carefully; slowly.

Draco looks awful. He's skinny, very skinny, his skin, isn't flawless like it usually is, there's bruises on it, decorating his face. His hands are shaking now, as are his legs.

He looks so frightened.

When he reaches Draco, he grabs his left hand in his, and rubs his thumb on the back of Draco's hand: there's a bruise there also.

"Let me touch it?" he murmurs.

He trembles, buts nods nonetheless.

He runs his fingertips over the mark as lightly as possible. He can feel my scar hurting but, right now, Draco's more important.

It's bumpy. It feels as though it's beating; as though it has a heart of its own.

There's scars over the mark as well. But Harry choose not to bring it up until, unless Draco does. He loves him. He should feel comfortable to tell him one day, but maybe not today.

Thunder booms in the night sky.

Draco flinches. He's always been scared of thunder and lightning, it reminds him of his father.

"I- I'm sorry, Harry," He whispers, "I didn't want to disappoint you."

Harry smile a little though, "You could never disappoint me," He take both his hands in mine and interlock their fingers together, pulling him to sit down. "You has no choice, I know, and I'm proud of you for making the choice you made : it was very brave."

"I'm not brave..."

He chuckles, quietly, "Yes you are, it's the quiet sort of brave."

Draco turns his head towards him, and sighs. He drops his head onto Harry's shoulder and closes his eyes. He looks peaceful.

"It's nice having someone who's the noisy type of brave by your side."

Harry doesn't say much else, just rests his head upon Draco's and breathes in his shampoo - it smells like cherries.

He puts his arm around Draco's waist and pulls him closer. Draco snuggles up to his chest and when his breathing is steady, Harry knows he's asleep.

He's so very frightened for Draco. If he dies... No, Harry does not want to think about that right now.

No one knows what's to come, what will happen in this war, but Harry knows that he'll fight for Draco just like how Draco fought for his parents safety.

They might not have been together long, but it feels as though they're meant to be. Soulmates. But maybe not. Maybe it's just a teenage relationship that won't last, but Harry thinks that what he and Draco have, will last for a long time.

They're going to be alright, he knows.
