Masked.

Draco snuck out, he was headed to the station. Catching the next train home.
He had bought a house in muggle London and he was going back to his apartment.
This was a bad idea.

Walking to the station, he kept thinking to the possibility that Harry would run after him, making him stop. Telling him that he lived him. Kissing him and taking Draco back.

It was pitiful how every now and then he would take a glance behind him, only to find himself alone.

I don't care.
He'd tell himself.
Yes. Yes you do.
His mind betraying him would counter, defeating him in an instant.
Yes. Yes I do.

Draco started tearing and crying as every step he seemed to take wasn't enough for Harry to come after him.

Suddenly it felt like that those moments were a lie.
Harry probably was just not in the mood.
He maybe had been trying to get out of the arrangement... but didn't know how to break it to me.

He never loved me.

Draco cried silently until he dried up.
Standing at the station, waiting for the weekend train that always came.

Checking the time, he realised that it would be there in five minutes.
He looked biting him.
"I should've known you'd never come." He whispered, imagining Harry sitting on his bed writing something in his diary or heading to the hall to eat his supper.
"Love is never enough."

He suddenly heard a loud blow of the train.
The train stopped.
He looked at it.
He stood there and stared at it.

The train was going to be there for ten minutes... he could wait for s while... what if Harry came and left because he couldn't find me?

So he stood there.
Hating himself for waiting.
He just stood.
He didn't cry, he didn't does, he just stood, and didn't look at the path from where Harry could arrive from.
After eight minutes, he took a deep breath, shut his eyes, and turned around.
He opened his eyes slowly and broke into sobbing as he saw.... No one.

"I fucking loved you Harry. And you... well.. I guess I can't blame you. I am and will always be a use and throw." He whispered and as soon as those words left his mouth, someone hugged him instantly.
Atleast he could feel someone hugging him.

And suddenly Harry stood there with a ugly blanket in his hands and tears in his eyes.

"I.. I thought- I thought you were waiting for your friends or something... I didn't know..." Harry trailed off, Draco just stared at Harry as he started crying again.
"No. No. No. I'm so sorry. I'm so fucking sorry. I didn't mean it. I do care about you. I just.. I didn't know who the real you was. It's was my first time talking to you casually, I thought the way you were was you being natural. I didn't know. I'm so sorry I hurt you. I didn't know that you..."

Draco stopped crying, he bit the inside of his cheek. Here comes the rejection.
"I didn't know that you loved me." Harry whispered making Draco feel so damn small and vulnerable.

One minute was left.
Draco looked at the clock.
He had to get on the train.

"I have to go.." Draco spoke.

"No... no you can't!"

"I don't have a reason to stay anymore."

Draco said sharply, looking straight into Harry's eyes, challenging him to say something... anything to make him stay.

"I.."

Draco sighed as he turned around and started walking towards the train, " that's what I thought." Mumbling to himself.

As Draco reached the train, his body begged him to turn and take on last glance. One last kiss. One last word.
One last goodbye..

But he shouldn't.

He didn't turn but as soon as he took a step in, Harry pulled Draco out and then hugged Draco tightly.
"I am here. Fuck I'm so sorry I'm so slow... but... I want you to stay here because I care for you too Draco."
Harry took Draco's face in between his palms, and joined their faces very close, their nose touching but lisps still apart, "I want you to stay because I love you."
As the words left Harry's mouth, draco grabbed Harry by the arms and held him away and looked at Harry, bewildered.
Thinking Harry was joking.
But the truth was out all over Harry's features.
"Oh my fucking god." Draco gasped in relief and kissed Harry hard and the wind came gushing in as the after effect for the departures train.

"I don't want to be your experiment anymore Harry. I want to be more." Draco whispered.
"Then do that. Be more. Be mine." Harry replied, " be with me."

"Harry fucking potter. Are you asking me, your ex experiment puppy to be your boyfriend?" Draco smirked.
"Obviously. I'd rather fuck my hot, beautiful and loving boyfriend than a frenemy with attitude issues... but he's amazing too. I'll miss him."
"You won't have to.. you know why?" Draco asked, smiling ass he bent forwards as if telling a secret, " I am him."

"Well. Aren't I the luckiest boy in the world?"

"If you have this package?" Draco pulled up his pants, "you better be."

Harry started laughing as he swatted Draco's arm making him Join in the laughter too.

"Harry?" Draco asked as he glanced sideways at Harry as they walked home.
"Did you really get bored like you'd said?"

"No." Harry responded instantly, stopping on his tracks, sighing as he turned to Draco and held both with hands.
"I only said that because I thought you got bored of me. I love you Draco. More than I've ever loved anyone ever. I have loved you since I was thirteen years old."

Draco smiled as he spoke, "you know... I have every single newspaper clipping of yours since as long as I can remember, and even though I used to be a bully, I used to take five different newspapers back to my room to cut out news related to you and just.. keep them. And most of the time I just admired you, but that turned into anger when the person I looked up to rejected me... but then it turned into masked love. And I am so happy that I got you Harry. And I swear on all my being, that I will never ever hurt you. I may be the cocky competitive dickwad sometimes, but just know that no one will ever love you as much as I do."

"I'll never forget it."

"You better not."

"I love you Draco." Harry whispered.

"And I you, Harry." Draco whispered as he kissed Harry softly, "and I you."
