As Draco closed the door he heard the three words he's always wanted to hear but he's only ever wanted to hear them from one person

I love you

Draco's eyes filled with tears he hit the wall, falling on his knees against the door,he couldn't believe his ears

"I love you too.." he whispered, he felt a burning feeling in his chest as he tried not to cry, he put his hand over his heart and squeezed his shirt, wincing as the pain in his chest got worse

Draco opened the journal he always kept with him, it was filled with love notes, everything he'd wanted to say to Harry since they day he met him, but he never got the chance

he ran his fingers across the page, tears dripping down his face, he got up and ran to his room

He threw the book on the floor

"I have to go"

Draco said softly to himself

he grabbed a small bag and started to put clothes into it, he got everything he needed, clothes, money, and snacks

He grabbed his bag and went out to the living room, he put his notebook on the table with a note that said "read me"

He went into Harry's room and kissed his head, then he left, he swore to himself that he would never see Harry again, he couldn't bare to hide his feelings for him any longer, but he knew Harry would never love him the way he wanted to be loved.

Draco went to Blaise's house, he knocked on the door and Blaise opened it

"Blaise.."

Draco dropped his bag and hugged Blaise tight, crying hard into his chest

"Woah calm down mate"

"I-I love him so much..why can't he love me?"

"who? Potter?"

Draco nodded and cried harder

"You should have told me how you felt! You've been sending me letters everyday full of loves poems you wrote for him!"

"I-I know.."

"Come on in, it's freezing"

Draco grabbed his bag of the floor and walked into Blaise's house, Blaise lead Draco up to his room and they sat down

"What happened mate"

"h-he told me he loved me , and it broke my heart..I love him so much but I can't tell him because he a little and I'm his caregiver I'm pretty much his new father!"

"OK GROSS! Do not phrase it like that! Just because he's a little doesn't mean he is a child, and that doesn't make you his father! He's still a 15 year old boy"

"I-I know but-"

"No buts! You love him, so tell him, you can have a relationship and also be his caregiver, just don't let those things mix or you'll both get hurt"

"what do you mean?"

"I mean you need to love him as a boyfriend but you can also love him as a child, it's innocent, if you two get into an argument and he slips into little space you stop yelling and comfort him, you guys are having "fun" and he accidentally slips into little space then you treat him like a little, not that hard to understand"

"I can't tell him I love him"

"why? You can tell us how much you love him"

Draco sighed

"I'm afraid.."

Blaise looked at him with a serious expression

"Draco"

"Think about what I did to him! i made his life hell! i heard him and Fred talking about him trying to kill himself and what if it was all because of me?!"

Blaise hugged Draco tight, gently rubbing his back

"Draco you did horrible things to him, you have to admit that you aren't the victim in this, is it because of you"

Draco looked up at Blaise in shock

"you really think so..?"

Blaise nodded

"I'm sorry to say this but you were kinda like really shitty to him AND to his friends"

Draco's eyes filled with tears

"and he still wanted to stay with me.."

Blaise nodded

"he wanted you, he chose you and only you"

Draco hugged Blaise even fighters

"Thank you for being honest with me, I can't believe how much of an asshole I've been"

"You need to apologize, not just to Harry but to his friends too, and ya know maybe to make it up to me  you could get Ron's number for me?"

Draco looked at Blaise in disgust

"You want his number?!"

"he's kinda cute, and I really like his freckles"

"ew ew ew ew!! No way! I'm not asking for his number for you! You just went on a rant about me confessing my love for Harry why don't you confess your love for Ron!?"

Blaise laughed

"Because you my dear had a chance to make a move, I however have not, so that's why I need you to get his number for me"

Suddenly Draco felt something cold on his wrist

"The bracelet!"

the bracelet glowed a light blue and Draco started to worry that Harry was in danger

"I have to go home to Harry"

"Wait"

Blaise grabbed his arm softly

"Before you go there's something I really really need to tell you"

Draco stopped and looked at Blaise

"Ok well what is it?"

Blaise mumbled something

"What? Speak up ya git!"

"he's loved you since second year!"

Draco couldn't believe his ears

"What?"

"In second year when me and Harry had detention together I saw him writing something on a piece of paper, I got a bit curious and wanted to know what he was writing so I sat next to him and leaned over, he was drawing a portrait of you with the words "my love" at the bottom"

"And you didn't tell me?! Blaise I've been in love with him since the moment I laid eyes on him! And you knew!"

"I'm sorry it just didn't seem right"

"He's loved me all this time and you knew! And you didn't tell me! What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

"What are you waiting for you prick?! Go tell him you love him!"

Draco grabbed his bags and rushed out the door, he ran home as fast as he could

He ran into his dorm as fast as possible and saw Harry crying on the floor

"Harry!"

"Draco!"

They ran to each other and hugged

"where..w-were you?! I-I had a nightmare and I couldn't find you and I was all alone!"

That's when Draco realized he hadn't read the note

"I'm sorry baby, I was just on a walk, I'm here now"

Draco's heart ached, he was too afraid to tell Harry how much he truly cares about him
