Soulmates

Harry pushed Draco against the wall, their lips moving in sink as he held Dracos robe.
Draco had a pained look and finally got the courage to push Harry away.

"I can't keep doing this." Harry let go of Dracos robe. "This?" Draco clenched his fists. "I can't just keep having these little things with you. I can't have us being all close than a mile away as if nothing happened." Harry's shoulders slumped. "Than what do you want Malfoy?" "A relationship."

That hit Harry hard. A what? Draco wanted a what? Like when two people hold hands and have irrelevant conversations about nothing? Where they kiss randomly and tell each other everything?

Harry moved uncomfortably, swiping his thumb over his lips than licking his raw lips. Draco felt hurt, he felt disappointed at Harry's response.

"... Is what we're doing so bad?" "It's to unstable. I don't want to be lovers than enemies where you run off somewhere." "Than let's just stop." Draco felt a pit enter his stomach. "I mean." Harry ran a hand through his hair. "I don't know how to show you affection or what someone needs to feel loved unless we're doing this." "I can help." Draco grabbed Harry's hand.
Harry saw a glimmer and pulled out the necklace Draco never takes off.
"Why don't you go looking for the person who gave you this?" Draco took the necklace back. "I want you to be the one who gave it to me." "Well... I'm not." Draco clenched his fist. Harry slipped his hands into his pockets. "Wouldn't you rather look for that person who actually likes you and knows how to treat you like I can't." ".. What are you trying to say?" "Find the person who makes you feel special."

Harry turned and walked away, leaving Draco hurt and alone.

Harry appeared in a certain Slytherins dark room. Shuffling could be heard from the bed with low pants.

Harry walked over to see Draco was having a nightmare. He sat on the edge of the bed, his hand moving the bangs in Dracos face.

"Don't leave. Please... don't walk away." Harry listened to Dracos quiet pleas.

He moved Dracos bangs, lightly putting his lips on his forehead. "Shh."

Draco calmed down after a little while but Harry didn't leave.

Harmony raised an eyebrow when she noticed Draco rubbing his forehead. "What are you doing?" "Nothing." Harmony rolled her eyes. "Than why are you rubbing your forehead?" Draco sighed. "I feel like someone kissed me." Harmony raised an eyebrow. "Harry?" Draco clenched his fists. "Definitely not Potter." Now Harmony was even more confused. "Did something happen?" "... He told me to find the person who gave me the presents instead of try to be with him." Harmony raged at that.
What the hell was Harry trying to do?! Tear Draco down or something?!

Harmony stood and chased after Harry who walked out of Potions.

"What did you do?!" Harry stopped and looked over his shoulder. "What?" Harmony clenched her fists. "What did you tell Draco?" Harry looked at her blankly. "Tell me Harry!" "I told him to give up on me and find someone else." A growl erupted from Harmony's throat. "And why should he do that?! You two are mates! Your made for each other!" "Because I don't know compassion and affection." Harmony stiffened. "I did Malfoy a favor, let it go Harmony." Harmony's cheeks turned red. "Your hurting him! Your thinking of nothing but yourself!" Harry still looked at her blankly. "I thought you were my brother! My brother wouldn't hurt others! He wouldn't be so selfish as to fuck everyone over!" Tears prickled Harmony's eyes. "Your a bad person! One who only does what they want! You don't think of others! If you loved Draco you wouldn't quit on you two so quickly!" "Loves such a strong word." "How are you like this?!" Classes looked out, some gathering around them. "You were nice! Than you learn who you really are and turn into a selfish arse?! My brother wouldn't do that!" Harmony panted. "Your just a selfish terrible person!"

Silence rendered in the corridor as Harmony panted and Harry still looked as stoic as before.

'I'd rather you think of me like that than the person who would risk their life for your happiness'

Harmony looked at Harry absolutely appalled while Harry just began to walk away.

"Parseltongue?! You can't even speak to me in English?!"
Harry didn't look back, he just kept walking.

Mates. Mates. People think the dominant one is the one who can shut their emotions out and be the strong one while the submissive one is the emotional clingy one. Really it doesn't matter. Mates work differently than others, people aren't the same and just a status won't change that.
I remember everything but I don't know anything that includes people. I'd rather learn that by myself than keep hurting Draco while... it's as if people don't understand what it's like to not grow up- of course they don't.
Harmony will watch Draco for now.. I don't need to worry about him... but I'll watch him, I'll make sure he doesn't do anything to stupid.
