Tears

Draco started into the mirror at his pale , drained face , tears staining his sickly skin.

He didn't look like this before.

He rolled up his sleeve , slowly lowering his eyes to the mark . He took his blade and tried again , slashing at the tattoo only to have the ink rejoin itself in the poison image .

He looked at himself again and noticed Harry Potter standing in the doorway. He couldn't let Harry see him like this. Oh , but it was too late. He'd already seen him.

Draco turned around and faced him , wiping away his tears , thick with sorrow and hatred.

He the mustered all of his pride in order to snigger at Harry. " What are you staring at , Potter? ( PoTTaH) Draco spat. Harry's green eyes stared fixedly at Draco's sickened face.

Harry had never seen the Slytherin prince in such a vulnerable state. Let alone see him cry. " Well?" Draco urged , his eyes moistening again.

Harry slowly walked over to Draco , each footstep careful and quiet. He walked so that he was just inches away from Draco. He then cupped Draco's slender face in his hand. " You don't have to hold it all in..." Harry said softly.

" I understand what it's like-the burden. The misunderstanding of why it was you . I understand...." Draco stared into Harry's eyes .

He then put his head into Harry's shoulder, letting his tears stain Harry's shirt and his soft sobs echo throughout the bathroom. " I... Can't anymore." Draco softly sobbed. Harry wrapped his arms around Draco , pulling him closer . " You can... I know it." Harry whispered . Draco sniffles softly .

At this point he was clutching the sleeves of Harry's shirt and his nose nuzzled Harry's neck. " How do you know?" " Because... I don't fall in love with quitters." Harry said softly, stroking Draco's soft hair.

Draco looked at Harry with red rimmed eyes. " What are you talking about?" Draco asked , trying to make his voice sound snide and confident , but an undertone of vulnerability lingered behind it.

Harry's mouth went dry and his throat clenched. Did he just confess to Draco. And did Draco just decline? Or ... did he just need clarity? Harry swallowed .

Harry then gently leaned in to touch his lips to Draco's , leaving mere centimeters between their lips , giving Draco to decide wether to join it.

Draco closed the space , letting the warmth that followed wash through him. He wrapped his arms around the back of Harry's neck as he continued kissing him , his problems and conflict seemingly disappeared for that sheer minute.

He then pulled back , his heart pounding and his body surging with energy. " I love you too." Draco murmured , his forehead pressed to Harry's . Harry briefly reconnected their lips .

Harry looked into Draco's stormy grey eyes . " We both have problems , burdens. But ... maybe we could work through them together ?" Harry whispered.

Draco nodded and held Harry's hand. " Together..." he replied softly

Okay , explanations.
