I Swear This Time I Mean It ✔️

Chapter 8

{Sorry for the wait, I'm trying to get my life together. I did publish a Halloween AU a few days ago that's just about done though!}

Coming out of the shower, Harry found Draco sitting at his desk, nibbling on the edge of a quill absentmindedly. He snuck up behind the other man, attaching his lips to Draco's neck. Squealing, Draco jumped, almost knocking over the ink pot he was using.

"Harry!"

"Sickle for your thoughts?", Harry asked, trailing his lips down Draco's neck.

"I'm writing a letter to my mother, go away."

"Oh, let me say hello. I told her I would write to her too."

With a snort, Draco completed his thought before Harry removed the quill from his hand.

Harry wishes to say hello now mother, because he's a git who can't get his own parchment.

"No more kisses for you then you prat", Harry huffed, pulling away from Draco.

Hello Narcissa! I'm a git that Draco loves very much I might add-

"Harry!", Draco squealed, hitting him on the head with a book. "Knock it off!"

He just hit me with a book. I think that he followed Snape's instruction a little too closely. Anyway, we're doing alright over here. Lots of stares but that's to be expected. We'll be heading to breakfast soon, I just wanted to add on to let you know I'm okay. I'll send my own letter if anything of importance happens.

Be well,

Harry

"I'm going to head out, I'll see you later."

"Don't be like that Harry, I'm only teasing."

"Tell that to the bump on the top of my head"', Harry muttered.

"I'm sorry Scarhead, come here."

"Finish your letter, it's fine."

Sighing, Draco got up and lightly grabbed Harry's wrist before he could open the door and leave.

"I'm being overdramatic, come here. It's just been a weird few days. Come and give me some cuddles yeah?"

"Maybe I don't want cuddles anymore hmm?", Harry asked stubbornly.

"Oh come off it my darling, you love cuddles. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, or if I hurt you in general."

Harry knew he was also being overdramatic, but he still wasn't feeling his best after yesterday. He just needed some love and affection, which Draco usually had no issue in providing.

"Everything else can wait, you're most important to me."

Harry allowed Draco to pull him into his bed and pull him into his chest. Draco sighed as Harry laid limp in his arms, Harry's arms resting at his own sides instead of around Draco like they usually would be. It hurt Draco a bit, and he supposed he deserved it for being a bit short with Harry.

"I'm sorry for being short with you Harry. You just needed some love. I'm just worried about today, but that's no excuse. Let me tell you why Lavender was here hmm?"

"Yeah, okay."

As Draco caught Harry up on everything that had happened, he felt Harry slowly relax into him. Draco paused once Harry's arms were wrapped completely around him to press a soft kiss to Harry's lips before resuming his story.

"I'm sorry, I'm being a brat because you were busy and preoccupied."

"We just need to communicate better, that's all", Draco replied softly, nuzzling his face into Harry's neck.
