soulmate | drarry

          they arrived home, harry unlocked the door while draco parked the car. harry headed straight for the bathroom and threw all of his clothing in a washing machine.

          harry, as soon as he changed into yet another draco's shirt, headed to his own room. he picked a book that he's not read yet and sunk into his bed sheets.

          it was one of those not-so-many evenings where harry needed to be alone and think. he acted like he was all right, but the information did hurt him.

          draco lied, saying he didn't know about his parents. but obviously, harry didn't blame him. it's not every day your soulmate just happens to be the boy who lived longer than his parents accidentally, while he was the main target all along.

          if harry was in draco's place, he wouldn't have said anything either. harry wondered - what if draco's trying to forget about his past completely?

          his eyes moved along the words but he wasn't reading. when he got to the end of the page he realised and groaned, obviously frustrated he has to read the whole page again.

          a soft knock came from behind his door.

          ,,yes, dray?" harry glanced at the door which now opened. draco sighed in relief.

          ,,i was just wondering where you were. shall i leave?" draco quizzed, glancing at his soulmate and the book that he was reading.

          ,,i'll join you in the living room soon, yeah? just give me few minutes to complete the chapter." harry smiled as he flipped a page of the book.

          ,,of course, harry. any movie i should put on specifically?"

          ,,let's go by your choice today, yeah?" harry offered and draco gladly took the offer.

          half an hour later, harry's feet took him to the living room where draco was already watching a show.

          ,,draco what is this?" he quizzed as he saw a bouquet of roses in a peach and coral colours.

          ,,well." draco paused the show and stood up. harry noticed he still hasn't changed his attire from the dinner.

          ,,i always give you red roses harry. ever since i met you, it were red roses. i have been telling you "i love you" through red roses ever since i met you, because i was hoping you would be my soulmate."

          ,,peach coloured roses, mean appreciation and . . . closing the deal." draco said, leaning on the sofa lightly.

          ,,coral coloured roses symbolise desire." harry was more than confused. why did draco know so much about roses and why was he telling harry?

          ,,at first. . i desired for you to be mine. now that i have you. ." draco trailed off a little, lost in a thought. this alarmed harry.

          was draco breaking up with him?

          ,,now that i have you the desire has grown even stronger. i appreciate your being with everything in me. every inch of my body is growing with the desire for you to be mine."

          ,,but i am yours, draco?"

          draco knelt down, onto one knee and pulled out a burgundy coloured box. he opened it and there laid a ring. a stunning ring that made harry's jaw drop even more than it dropped before.

          ,,listen, i know we have only been together for a while. but you're my bloody soulmate. you were my first in everything, harry. i'm not planning to leave you and i certainly hope you aren't as well."

          draco reached inside of his pocket that was placed on his chest, near his heart. from there he pulled out a tiny, beautiful yellow rose.

          ,,yellow roses symbolise new beginnings. which brings me to the question. . will you, harry james potter, do me the honour, start a new beginning with me, and become harry james malfoy?"

          draco's eyes were full of hope. harry couldn't even speak. if his soulmate was anyone else, he would have said no. but despite occasional bickering, despite some fights, he knew he wouldn't want to spend his life with anyone else than draco.

          ,,yes." harry whispered. draco jumped onto him and pulled him into a bone crushing hug.

          ,,you know. i needed mother to give me a blessing to marry you. i needed her to approve of you. when you weren't looking, she nodded in approval harry. she loves you, really. believe me."

          ,,oh dray. ." harry sighed and placed his head in the crook of draco's neck.

          ,,i was so afraid you would say no. . because of my past. ."

          ,,i would never say no to becoming mr. malfoy."
