Long after I have given up, my heart still searches for you without my permission.
-Rudy Francisco

Harry's POV

"What do you mean by that?" I asked in disbelief and confusion. Why would he ever think that? If anything, I didn't deserve him.

"I think I stated that quite clearly, I'm not gonna repeat myself, so please just stay away." He said as he tried to go to sleep but I took the blanket away from him.

"No, you're not gonna avoid me this time. I won't let you." I said stubbornly as I glared, which was returned.

"I don't deserve you, Harry. Simple as that." He said in an attempted nonchalance but it wasn't 'as simple as that'. It never was between us and I wasn't gonna let it go this time, I'm not gonna let him slip away this time.

"Draco, I think you deserve me in every way. Hell, you deserve more than me!" I facted because in my mind, Draco truly did deserve a lot but he apparently thought different.

"No I don't, Harry. You'll see that one day, hopefully." He choked on his last word as he looked at his fingers, playing with his silver ring that laid in his right index finger.

I stopped his hand and gently placed mine on top of his. He looked up and I didn't say anything as I showed my emotions through my eyes, hoping he would somehow understand what I feel because no matter how much of a Gryffindor I am I'm still a coward when it came to emotions.

We stared in silence, just staring as the time passed, none of us bothering to break the gaze.

"Harry," he called after a few minutes and I gave a low hum to tell him that he has my attention.

"I'm warning you, stay away before I latch onto you 'cuz if I do then I'll never let you go." He said in a strangled voice as his eyes pooled with.. hope.

"Maybe, I don't want you to let me go." I said in a soft voice and he smiled, a genuine smile and I couldn't help but return it.

"By the way, you're quite the Hufflepuff." I teased, earning me a mildly offended look from Draco.

"I am not a Hufflepuff." He huffed as he crossed his arm like a little five year old who didn't get presents on Christmas.

I let out a little laugh, putting my hands up in surrender.

"Will you let me sleep now?" Draco said after few seconds and I nodded, crawling into his bed without an invitation.

"And what exactly do you think you're doing, Potter?" He asked in an accusing tone as he stared at me.

"Oh shut it, Malfoy. You know you want me to sleep with you." I said and Draco's face instantly changed to a more flustered face and I looked confused before I reflected on what I said. Want me to sleep with you, damn Harry, you need to think before you speak.

"Um- not like-" i tried to correct myself.

"Yeah, I know Harry." He said in a whisper as he re-positioned his pillow, laying down. I followed and draped the blankets over us and slid an arm around Draco's waist, drifting into peaceful sleep.

Sometimes you have to pry a person to actually solve the problem. At least, it was like that when it came to Draco.

I'm glad we've somewhat solved the problem between us but I still couldn't get that thought out of my head... why would Draco ever think that I didn't deserve him?

It was exactly what I thought about him... I thought he deserved better like Greengrass. Then he was there thinking that I also deserved better than him.

I don't think I can find better than him even if I wanted to... cuz in my eyes he's already growled to be the best.
