The Last Coffee
Tumblr media
"All packed and ready to go?" Harry asked as he knocked on Draco's bedroom door.
Draco turned around, taking a break from applying tape on one of the last cardboard boxes. He nodded his head with a soft smile, "All done. The driver will pick up these boxes by tomorrow morning, that's alright right?"
" Yeah, as long as that person doesn't disturb my sleep." Harry shrugged in a joke.
Draco shook his head with a chuckle, "Typical Harry of you."
Harry for that brief didn't know what else to say because he knew Draco was going to be thousand of miles apart in a matter of few hours when for the last 10 years of his life they have lived in the same place, whether it was school or this apartment.
"Last coffee before I leave?" Draco finally asked and Harry nodded.
They collected their coats and walked hand in hand to the coffee shop by the corner of the street for what was the last time.
"So, this is the last time we're going to hold hands?" Harry finally said.
Draco sighed.
"Come on, someone had to say it and I know there's a lot on your mind so just say whatever it is or you know you'll regret it." Harry said.
Draco looked at Harry for a brief moment knowing he was right.
Right after ordering their last cup of coffee's together Draco finally opened up,
"Are you sure you don't want to give long distance a try? We could make it work if we try."
Harry smiled, "We could try, we could even try if you lived on the opposite ends of the planet but we know how it's going to end. Our time zone's are not even going to be the same, let alone we won't have a proper communication about anything. It won't be the same."
Draco teared up a little because he was hoping with his whole heart that Harry might turn his thought around if even at the last moment but he was losing any kind of hope here.
Harry noticing his emotions took his hands in his own and caressed them softly.
"I know you think this is easy for me but it's killing me inside. I have loved you for years, we've lived in the same apartment for 4 years, we've been together almost all the time, how can it possibly be easy for me to not be around you anymore? I've loved you all this time and I can't tell you how much I really want to make it work but Draco I know the differences we'll have, you'll have a whole lot of different people there, you'll be required there so many more times. You will need so much time to adjust into a new environment and I'll start wondering how much efforts you're putting in and then I will get used to it and by the time you'll be done adjusting, I'll have a life of my own, we won't be able to make time for each other, we'll have more fights than conversation- "
"Harry, just stop," Draco cut him off taking his hands away from Harry's hold, "you have this whole thing planned out as if you're going to do it. How are you so sure that this is what's going to happen? What if it's the opposite?"
Harry gave him a soft smile, "I don't know half shit of how it's going to work or what may happen or what may not. To be very honest, I think i'm wrong but- there is a 5% chance in what i'm saying is true and that is why before I lose you to distance, I want to be prepared for losing you. At least, I know I am ending it and not you because of distance," he takes a pause and sighs, "I just don't want to be hurt and hurt you more than I have. I don't want to fight and give up on you-"
"and so you don't even want to try?"
Harry shook his head, "I want to. I want to be proven wrong but I know I won't be because one day I don't want to be on the end where you say I don't think this is working and have my heart shattered but knowing that it was happening all the time. You know how you always called me a saviour?"
Draco nods.
"This time the saviour wants to save himself. Sometimes that saviour has to make sacrifices and compromises so this time i'm choosing to protect myself because I don't think I'll ever be okay if this ends after trying. How can you get hurt when you never even tried?"
"By knowing you never even tried. You are giving up, Harry, you've never given up before." A tear dropped down from the corner of his eyes and Harry wiped it away.
"I'm not giving up. I love you, I have and I always will but I'm not the same person I used to be. I have been a lot hurt in my life Draco and you know it so well, this one time, just once I want to not be hurt later."
"So, you're hurting me instead?" Draco sobbed.
"I'm hurting both of us really but I know I am hurting you. I know and I wish I wasn't but this is for the better and you'll know with time. I am so sorry for all the pain but we are meant to be hurt, now or later. Impending doom."
"So, its a losing argument with you? You are not going to change your mind?" Draco asked.
Harry teared up and shook his head, "We're both losing. I am losing you, I am hurting you but I know it's for the better of both of us. I want to change my mind but I know I shouldn't. I want to protect both of us."
"I don't think you're protecting anyone." But Harry didn't know what else to say because he knew he wasn't going to change his mind, he wanted to but he knew he shouldn't.
Draco shook his head and after wiping away his tears gave a smile, "I suppose it was good while it lasted."
"The best I'll ever have. Only one i'll ever have."
"I love you."
"I love you."
They shared their one last cup of coffee after which Draco left for unknown amount of time. Harry didn't know if he made the best decision or not, he always hoped he did but he never wanted Draco to live with any regret of ending things between them. Maybe they were doomed, maybe they were not. Distance breaks many hearts and they knew they'd be one of them but Harry would rather lose Draco to himself than to distance.
One last cup of coffee, that was all that mattered at the end.
I should've been studying but this was meant to be written..
the last?

Complex is us
"Do you think it'll work?"
It was a strange question to ask in absolute silence, out of nowhere.
"what would?" Draco questioned back.
"Us. Do you think it'll work?" Harry asked.
Draco looked at Harry curled to his own body as they sat on the branch of that oak tree. He wondered why Harry asked such a thing but truth be told with everything going on, he kind of understood where it came from.
Problem was, he didn't have the answer.
"What do you think?" Draco asked.
Harry shrugged. He turned a little so he could see Draco's face while entangled together. He gazed into his serene eyes and he realised he had no answer either.
"I think we can hold onto the hope that we work." Draco finally said.
Harry nodded his head, "Would be a shame if we didn't work out you know."
Draco chuckled softly, "would be a massive shame afterall not a lot of people go from being arch nemesis to idiots in love."
Harry smiled and nodded, "seems strange how it happened so fast, right?"
Draco nodded. He leaned his chin on top of Harry's head and stared into Harry's line of sight, "I think it was always supposed to be fast with us."
"what do you mean?" Harry asked
"It means, we can't have it simple, it's complex between us, always, it's always going to be hard for us, difficult, secretive so it can't be slow for us either."
Harry agreed, "We can't have non chaotic, soft kind of love. Somewhere feels like it'll always be secret, behind closed doors, in forests, secret hallways."
Draco agreed but after a while of silence he spoke up again, "but don't you ever wish that it wasn't that way?"
Harry smiled as he took Draco's hands in his own and kissed them, "Everyday, I wish for that everyday but if that's the kind of love we get then it's not ours. We are meant to have that complex love that works in a way you know because we make it work, because we love to make it work, because we love one another."
Draco smiled softly and kissed the top of Harry's head, "Complex is us."
Harry chuckled and nodded.
"But who knows in future," Harry shrugged.
Draco smiled, "maybe we'll have our own soft love outside these walls."
"Maybe we will."
And maybe it all worked out in the end..
After a long span of absence in a massively busy schedule, I posted once again. It's obviously not as good but my drarry fangirl had it coming. Until next time.

Bigger than the universe
Tumblr media
(Dedicated to the memories on the swings)
Truth be told, at the end of the day it's just about memories, your favourite memories, your favourite person...
It had been a while, or maybe saying it a while would be an understatement, it has been a long time since Harry saw him, heard from him or even heard about him. 7 months. He spent 7 months without him but every hour thinking about him but the truth was he was doing better, at least a little better. After a long time Harry was able to wake up without the clenching pain in his chest. He was finally able to sleep at night. He was finally able to make it through the day without having to fake a smile. Those memories he beheld they didn't haunt the same way anymore, he was coming to terms with them. He was finally getting better, he was finally a little okay.
He was doing all fine until he took the train that evening. Who knew one little glimpse would shatter his universe again?
Like every passenger on the train, he had his headphones plugged in, something to keep him busy, something that would occupy his head, run away from what life was until the train rashly stopped and started again, startling everyone. This was a usual thing and Harry didn't really think much about it and continued with his own world. That was until his eyes fell upon the Blonde head at the other end of the busy compartment.
Harry immediately frowned and unknowingly, without motive or reason tried making his way towards the one he thought was. Little by little he realised he was getting impatient to see who he thought it was, he was almost sure it was him. The more he approached him, the more the train approached the station and before he knew it, that man was off the train and Harry ran with all his might to follow who was off the train.
He moved fast, pushed people away out of his way and just as he made it out to the station with train doors shutting behind him, he lost sight. He haphazardly looked everywhere he possibly could and was almost about to give up when he finally caught the sight of blonde head again and ran towards him. He ran and ran and shouted at him,
"Draco!"
Only he didn't turn back and that's when Harry ran faster towards him and tapped him on his shoulder. He doesn't know what he was expecting but when that man turned, his heart sunk because those were not the eyes he was searching for. His eyes only ever searched for those beautiful grey eyes.
"Sorry, thought you were someone else."
And he turned back away. He was sure the man looked the same as Draco, he looked really similar but he wasn't him and truth be told, no one could be Draco and that's when it hit Harry, he would never be able to run away from Draco.
Harry didn't feel like getting back on the train and ultimately decided to walk back home, only he stopped way before he reached home at a children's park. He had never been to that park before but there was comfort in sitting on the swing in the park at night when no one was around.
It was finally the moment Harry thought about the man again. For months in between Harry thought he was okay, that perhaps he was doing better, that he no longer needed to think of Draco and it was true, he longer needed to think of him.
But, he wanted to.
Harry realised at that instant that no matter how much he might lie to himself about running away from Draco or how much he might convince others that he no longer needed Draco, he knew he wanted him and today proved it that he'll always run for Draco, he'll always run towards him because loving Draco was safe. It wasn't wild or crazy or anything adventurous, it was like returning home after a long day.
Harry figured his feelings for Draco were much larger than he had ever expected or thought of them to even be. But the biggest realisation was, he'll always belong to Draco and Draco to him because they exist in memories, they belong in each other's paradoxes of memory. They may not be together anymore but no one can erase those memories for Harry when he was unconditionally, unequivocally and irresistibly in love with the man who gave him everything, who gave him meaning, who gave him trust and perhaps he'll never move on from Draco, by choice but he knew that night that he really should stop because what he felt when he mistook the man for Draco was hurt and he didn't want to be in pain for the rest of his life.
Yes, he knew he would love only once but we also only live once. He must love him in memories because Draco was gone and even if he might sit at that swing and stare at the stars and cry his heart out, it wouldn't change a thing because whatever life this is, there is no Draco to his Harry or Rose to his Jake or Achilles to his Patroculus or Walton to Victor but Harry hoped that perhaps in some alternate universe when Harry runs after that unknown man, may it always be Draco, if not in this universe but in every other because love is bigger than universe and Draco was all of his universes.
Expressing recent events in writing is perhaps only what I can do 😭 anyways, this is all from my depressed self rn but I'll come back for more when I have more time.

Lighthouse
Tumblr media
Word 14: blackout
Harry turned off the ignition of the car, rolling the windows back up and turning off the music and turned to Teddy.
"Shall we?" He smiled at the little boy.
The little boy nodded and they both got out of the car and Harry instantly started unraveling the bag they bought with them.
"What's that, Harry?" Teddy pointed out to the far off light coming from the other end of the shore.
Harry looked up and turned to Teddy once again, "That's a lighthouse."
"What does it do?" Teddy asked curiously.
Harry thought about it for a moment then replied, "It guides you home."
Teddy stared at the lighthouse curiously then looked at Harry again, "How does it guide us home?"
"when we go on long journeys on water especially at night, it emits light and we follow it to come back home. Say one day, you go on a sea trip and you're lost and you can't find a way to come back home and you see that, you know then exactly that you're closer to home than you were before." Harry explained.
Teddy stared at the lighthouse once more before he turned to Harry, "So, you're saying if this lighthouse is not there, we cannot come back home?"
"Maybe but it'll take longer for us to reach home."
Teddy nodded.
"Harry-"
"You ask a lot of questions, Teddy." Harry chuckled.
Teddy shrugged, "I'm curious."
Harry smiled at the little boy and picked him up in his arms and sat him over the hood of his car. He bought the bag along with him and sat down over the hood himself.
"Ask away." Harry said.
"Why did my parents leave, Harry?"
Harry turned to look at Teddy, almost shook at the sudden question.
"What do you mean leave?"
"Arthur said this in class the other day that my parents left me but you said that they didn't leave me, that they're always here but I know they're not here, Harry. Why did they leave?" Teddy asked.
Harry was almost saddened by the fact that he saw a little of himself in Teddy. He never wanted Teddy to have that childhood he had, he never wanted him to feel an empty presence but Harry always knew no one could take away that position of parents and Teddy was always going to feel some sort of emptiness, Harry just wished he didn't.
"The world, Teddy, has its good and its bad sides. Your parents didn't leave you, they were in fact the strongest, bravest, most courageous people I ever knew but they died protecting the world. They just had to go away because sometimes some sacrifices had to be made and your parents being the bravest, sacrificed themselves. Your father told me one day you'll ask this question and the world would tell you they died for something so big and you'll be just as proud of them as they were of you." Harry explained.
Teddy looked at Harry with what was only respect and awe.
"They were proud of me?"
"More than you could ever know."
"But they're always here," Harry said pointing to his chest, "Right here and they'll never go anywhere. They're your lighthouse, Teddy and they will always guide you home."
Teddy smiled, "They're my lighthouse."
Harry smiled and nodded.
"Blackout makes it all beautiful, right?"
"It does." Harry said.
It was after a while he laid back against the hood of the car and Teddy did the same that Teddy asked while staring up at the stars.
"Michelle said when people die, they go up in the stars, do you think our parents are there, looking down at us right now?"
Harry nodded, "I think they are."
Teddy asked again after a while, "Who's your lighthouse, Harry?"
Harry shrugged, "My lighthouse left, Teddy."
"To where?"
"To find his lighthouse."
"I can be your lighthouse." Teddy suggested.
Harry's eyes brimmed with tears as he turned his head to Teddy and gave him a forehead kiss, "You'll be my only lighthouse from how on, Teddy."
One that would never go anywhere.
Sad hurt/comfort, just take it😭.
My absence had three reasons, one, I had to go away because of my sem end exams, second, as soon as my exams ended, I came down with a bad fever (I'm okay now) and three, the writers block hit pretty hard but I'm here now and I'll try to write more this time, I'm really sorry about it whatsoever. Also a belated happy new year to everyone, may y'all have a good one<3.

City of love
Tumblr media
Word 13: Paris
It was not a promise. He never made any. He wasn't a man of promises but he was a man of absolute romantics. He was a hopeless romantic who fell in love in the softest, purest way possible.
It came up in a conversation a year ago when they were sat in the Cafe Blues right about during the first few weeks into dating when Harry had asked for a very simple, curios question, "If there was one place out of the whole world where by choice you could fall in love at, what place would it be?"
"Paris." Draco responded without hesitation, without a momentary lapse as if he had the answer right over his lips.
"Why?"
"It's just beautiful out there. I know it's overrated but it's just it. There's nothing more beautiful about falling in love in Paris, in the city of love and to have someone fall in love with you there. To walk by the river seine and to be in love with someone, it's wonderful. I'd do anything to have the opportunity to meet someone there and fall in love unfortunately though, I've never been to Paris, so naturally I haven't fallen in love there. It's sort of like an unfulfilled dream." Draco smiled softly after that in lost dreams.
It was in that moment Harry took a mental note and chose to remember it forever.
This year by December they were still together and they had both taken off from their works and fled off to Paris, the city of love itself.
It was on the last day of their trip when he took his moment while they were finally walking over the bridge of River Seine, Pont Des Arts with snowfall upon their heads. He stopped Draco for a moment and said,
"Do you remember what you said about Paris last year?"
Draco chuckled and shrugged, "I say a lot of things, Harry and then I forget them."
Harry smiled and shook his head, "Well, you may have forgotten but I remember it. I asked you that day what place you would choose to fall in love at and you said Paris without hesitation and then you went on about how Paris is the city of love and falling in love in Paris has its own beauty."
Draco nodded, still smiling, "I also said unfortunately that has never happened."
"Yes. I thought about it a lot over the year but we're here today. I'm trying to say I've loved you, Draco and this may not be your moment. It's not your dream we're living but we're in Paris and we're in love. We've made promises of love here and while it may not be the same, we're here tonight and we're on the bridge of Seine. You're beautiful and kind and wonderful and this amazing person that I fall in love with everyday, every single day, every moment of everyday so even tonight I'm falling in love with you. I fall for you so much that I fear there's no return but Draco, falling in love with you everyday feels like a day in Paris, the city of love because you are my city of love. You are my Paris and I've waited so long, the perfect moment to tell you but I needed you to know this."
Draco stared at Harry for a few moments that Harry was almost scared he said something wrong or that he misread the whole situation but then Draco broke into a smile and pulled his hand out of his pocket and hugged Harry, right on that bridge.
"You are it, Harry. You're all I've ever wanted, all I've ever looked for."
"What do you mean?"
Draco smiled, "It's not about falling in love in Paris, it's the person who makes it beautiful and you make loving beautiful. Yes, a year ago I wanted to experience falling in love in Paris but today I have experienced it but In a different way because I'm in love with you, I have been and it's even more beautiful than Paris. You are the one I've looked my whole life for. You are the reason falling is beautiful, you are the reason why Paris is beautiful, Harry. You are it."
Harry's eyes glimmered with small tears that he wiped away while Draco pulled him closer and rested his head against Harry's. Slowly and cautiously, Draco leaned in and kissed Harry on the lips, sweet and soft with passion. It was beautiful in itself to kiss someone you love, someone your heart races for, someone who makes love the most beautiful feeling in the world.
It was then that they realised that was it. This moment was falling in love in Paris. It was this moment where love was finally more beautiful than the city of love itself.
I don't know where I was going with this 😶

By choice, forever
Tumblr media
Word 12: snow - fluff
"What shall I wear for tonight?" Harry asked as he bought two outfits in front and showed it to Draco.
"Harry, don't you think the person you're going on a date with should not know what he's wearing?" Draco teased.
Harry rolled his eyes out of affection, "The man I'm going on a date with has been my boyfriend for 4 years, so it doesn't matter. Besides you always say I look like a barbarian when I choose my own clothes."
Draco pouted then nodded, "You do make a point. On that note, wear that emerald shirt, and those pants. To keep it casual wear a trench coat over it."
Harry nodded and laid out of the outfit over the bed.
"What are you going to wear?" Harry asked as he entered the living room.
Draco shook his head, "It's a surprise."
Harry came behind him and kissed the top of his head, "Okay. I'm going to get some dog food by the way. Will be back soon."
Draco nodded and turned around from where he was sitting on the couch and kissed Harry, "Don't be late."
Harry eventually went outside and at that time Draco decided to start getting ready for the date. It wasn't a big deal for them to go on a date like this but Harry insisted that they haven't gone on a proper date in a long time and Christmas is the best time of the year to go on dates to. So, it was more like a Christmas date only it wasn't Christmas yet, not until a few more days.
By the time Harry came back and got ready, Draco was still getting ready so he decided to wait in the living room for him. It was precisely 15 minutes later Draco came outside wearing a red shirt with grey jeans and Harry's coat.
Harry smiled at him as Draco walked closer to him. When he was standing in front of him, Harry pulled him closer, wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed him, "You look gorgeous."
"As always." Draco shrugged cockily but in a fun way that made them laugh.
They finally set out to the date and it wasn't a big or a grand date. They both understood that they were past the phase of grand gestures or that they didn't even need expensive restaurant dates or anything just to make each other happy, it was just the presence of each other that was enough. They went to that new Thai restaurant that opened up in Piccadilly street, had good food, drank wine and finally their favourite dessert but they laughed through most of the dinner because Harry kept on making some joke and how awful they were when they first started dating. Draco accompanied those jokes and reminded of how Harry used to bring tulips for Draco on every date which was sweet but he was allergic to pollen and then he'd keep sneezing through the entire date that once Draco stupidly wondered if Harry was allergic to Draco until Harry discovered after 21 years of his life that he was allergic to pollen.
They were finally done with their dinner but none of them wanted to go back so soon so they decided to take the long route by the river to go back home. They were reminiscing about their dates the whole time, walking hand in hand, nudging each other every once in a while when it started to snow and it was only Harry who thought it'd be good to carry an umbrella but one umbrella could only save them so much.
"I should have picked the umbrella." Draco said as they were still walking arms linked.
Harry shrugged, "There's something beautiful about being under one umbrella."
Draco smiled, "Yes, it is quite romantic that you're stepping on my boots so often."
Harry rolled his eyes and walked ahead quickly leaving Draco behind laughing.
"I'm kidding, Harry." Draco laughed and Harry finally stopped and waited for Draco.
"Take offense much, do you." Draco teased as he linked their arms again.
Harry shrugged off the snow off Draco's hair and smiled back, "I was just teasing you. I don't take any offense anymore."
Draco kept smiling at Harry as he saw him remove snow from his hair and shoulder, "I love you, Harry."
Harry immediately paused for a second and frowned at him, "I love you, too babe. But why say it so suddenly?"
"I don't need reasons to tell you I love you." Draco shrugged.
Harry smiled and they started walking again watching the river alongside and talking about how beautiful it looked with the reflection of the giant Christmas tree. They somehow got around talking about the time they went to the ice skating rink as friends and knew it that night that they liked each other.
"Has it really been 4 years?" Harry asked dwelling in nostalgia.
Draco smiled and nodded, "4 years."
"We've been together a long time." Harry stated.
"We have. I loved it the whole time." Draco said.
Harry agreed, "I don't want anything else with anyone ever."
Draco looked at Harry, "I don't either. I only want you."
"I only want you, too. You're the one, Draco." Harry said.
Draco smiled and said, "You're the one for me, too."
Harry stopped right there, forcing Draco to stop as well, "What happened?"
Harry kept looking at Draco for a few moments then blurted out, "Marry me, Draco."
Draco looked at Harry for a moment then started laughing, "Are you serious right now?"
Harry nodded and he knelt to the ground, "I know I don't have a ring right now, I even know I didn't plan this,"
"Harry, Are you seriously proposing right now?"
"I knew I was going to do it someday anyways but why not now? I love you, Draco, always have, always will and I do want to spend the rest of my life with you. You're the reason I wake up every morning and go to bed every night. I thought that when I'd propose, I'd do some big gesture or whatever but that's not us, Draco. I've been with you long enough to know you're the only one and you've always been the only one and I don't need some big proposal to ask you to marry me. At least, I hope i don't but I'm never going to get another special moment like this. We're by a beautiful river, there's no one else on the street but us, it's snowing and we only have one umbrella and I'm hopelessly in love with you. So, Draco Malfoy, Will you do the honour of marrying me?" Harry proposed.
Draco was surprised but not shocked. He knew one day it would happen but if today when he woke up someone would've told him that he'll get proposed to tonight, he'd be having nervous breakdowns all day but he was here right now, with the man that he loved so much that sometimes it physically hurt, on his knees, asking him to marry him. He's never wanted anything more.
Tears slipped through his eyes and he knelt to the ground himself and said, "I'm the luckiest person alive. No kidding, no filter or anything but having you is the best thing that has ever happened to me. All my life I thought I'd never learn love, but then I met you and you made me feel a multitude of emotions that drove me crazy. You're right, we don't need a grand gesture but nothing is more perfect than this because it's with you. I love you, Harry, always have and always will, so yes, I want to marry you and grow old with you and judge you for wearing long hair in fourth grade for the rest of your life."
Harry laughed through the tears that crinkled by his eyes and he hugged Draco immediately, "I love you so much, Draco."
Draco broke apart from the hug and kissed him, "I love you, too and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Me either."
They kept smiling at each other, their eyes having tears and their hearts that couldn't believe that it actually happened.
But then suddenly Harry said, "I know we're having a romantic moment and I love you but my knees are starting to hurt because of the gravel and it's cold so my knees are wet and so are yours."
Draco laughed and they both got up, "shall we head back home?"
Harry smiled, "We shall."
They never needed any grand gestures, they never needed to plan a perfect date, a perfect moment, a perfect night or anything because when it was them, nothing else mattered and right now the only thing that mattered was that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with each other, by choice and forever.

Our love is Maroon
Tumblr media
Word 11: Maroon
"Our love is a little more maroon and less red." Draco said.
Harry frowned as he interlocked his fingers with Draco's and kissed them gently, "What do you mean our love is a little more maroon and less red?"
Draco stared fondly at Harry fondling with his fingers and he wrapped his other hand around Harry's torso as they were laid on the slanted rooftop.
He shrugged and then stared at the clear sky which made Harry look at the sky himself.
"You know how simple some love stories are? Like my parents, they met, they fell in love, they got married and stayed married, not in any way saying they're the best but somehow they compliment each other, they are made for each other and even look at Ron and Hermione, they're perfect for each other. When you see them, when you see their love, it's red because every love has a colour. The way we love the sky is blue, the way we love the sun is orange, the way we love the ocean is grey." Draco explained.
Harry turned to face Draco and caressed his cheekbone then went onto pushing his hair off his forehead, "And?"
"These colours, they reflect something because the ocean is grey sometimes, it's scary but beautiful. The sun is orange because it can't be red, the sky is blue. Every colour has a reason, every story has a colour."
"And you think ours is Maroon?"
Draco nodded, "Because we're not red. We're not plain, we're not vibrant, we're not courageous but we're strong. We slither under the secrets of the world, we hide our relationship from the eyes of the world, we hide it from my parents, we hide it from society, we are courageous but we're brave. We're not vibrant but we're strong. We're not as bright but it's because our past runs deep within our skins and it reflects how we are. We don't have a perfect relationship, Harry but it's not like it's not worth it. We may be whatever, but we're good together, I guess."
Harry didn't understand the tears in Draco's eyes but he kissed them away and he interlocked their fingers together more firmly than he had before, "I don't know what you're getting at or where you're coming from but I know one thing, We're not red because we're not like the rest. Our story is not like the rest of their stories. We're not perfect but we're great together and we love each other and that's what matters more. We are perfect for each other and that's what's worth it. We don't have to listen to the world, we're our own, Draco. I love you and the world can't tell me otherwise."
Draco smiled at Harry then kissed his forehead, "You always make sense of my senseless things."
"It's never senseless, Draco. Nothing is ever senseless with you."
"I love you, Harry."
"I love you, too."
Draco looked at him fondly before he leaned in and kissed Harry with so much softness as if he was confessing that he had never been loved this way before, that he'll never be this raw and vulnerable with anyone, that he was never going to love anyone but him and it was true. It was their moment, it was their love and it would never go anywhere else.
They didn't fit into the world but they knew they didn't have to. They painted their picture, their own world.
They were Maroon in a world full of red and they'd rather not have it any other way.
I wrote this after midnight running on 4 hours of sleep, please don't judge me😭

Not His Saviour
Tumblr media
(I honestly have no idea what I've written, it's open to interpretation. I won't even mind if this doesn't get notes at all)
Word 10: Champagne
Draco leaned against the bar, his hand propped behind on the counter, his left leg crossed over his right and drink in another hand.
Classic Draco Malfoy move.
He very strictly abode by staying away from all the gossip, from all the talks, from crowd, in his own company with a fine glass of champagne.
He wasn't being cocky, no, far from that, he just liked his own peace a lot but it was true the more intimidating he looked, the lesser people would approach him and the lesser they could hear the quiver in his voice he was trying to hold back. The lesser they'd figure out the sadness in his voice. He was afraid someone would talk to him and they'd figure out just how sad he was and Draco lived by pretending all his life that he was fine, except today he wasn't being good at pretending all that much.
He made it fine through the evening, almost all of it even until exactly that one person came to him he wasn't wishing to meet with.
"Came alone?" Harru asked.
Draco didn't answer. He didn't think he should have.
"I see, you're ignoring that I exist even when I'm right next to you. You can pretend to the whole world you're fine but not me. I know something is bothering you." Harry said almost too conveniently. No, no, he was not supposed to say anything like that. He was not.
Draco took another sip of his drink, "Thought you had a more happening evening."
"I did."
"Then I wouldn't want to intrude in your evening." Draco bit.
"I came to you, Draco."
"I don't need your pity, Harry. I never needed it." Draco turned hastily to Harry to find him looking at Draco.
"I'm not offering you pity-"
"Yes, that's exactly what you're doing. You've abandoned your evening, people, everyone and everything just to come here and wash it all over my face that you pity me." Draco snapped but In a low tone to not gather attention.
"I don't get you, Draco," Harry was almost irritated, "Why would you ever think I'm offering you pity- or sympathy? I care about you that's why I came here. I want to make amends with you. I want to fix it okay. If I'm the reason you're hurt, allow me to fix it."
"I don't need to be fixed, okay. I don't need your whatever it is. I don't need your amends. What's done is done, Harry. The damage exists and it's very clear, that night changed everything and it would never change. And it's funny how you think my world revolves around you, that everything in my life is related to you, that if I'm sad it can only be because of you. You're not my everything. You can't change what happened and I certainly don't want to. But you can't fix me, I'm not yours to fix. You're not my saviour, Harry." Draco finally turned to Harry and picked his coat from the stool beside him and kept the glass back on the counter.
"And things don't get fixed over a glass of champagne." And he left.
Whatever it was, he took it away with him. He took his sadness, he took his anger at Harry, he took everything he came with and he never turned around, not even once because sometimes when somebody breaks your heart, no matter how many amends they might want to make, no matter how much they must've loved you once, no matter how much they say they want to fix it all, no matter how much they say that if they could take it all back they would, sometimes they don't get fixed. Sometimes when things break, they're broken forever and nothing can ever fix it.
Draco didn't turn around even when Harry looked at him desperately, hoping Draco would stop and give him one last look but he didn't, especially then when Harry wanted him to turn around the most, he didn't turn around.
He just walked away and never came back.

All the Sun rises with you
Tumblr media
Word 9: Sun
"Harry, Harry. Wake up." Draco shook him. Harry groaned in his sleep, tossing to the other side.
"Harry, come on. Wake up or we'll miss it." Draco shook him again while Harry groaned. Draco swore to himself that he wouldn't throw water at Harry but he didn't say anything about kicking him off the bed.
"Draco." Harry yelled, almost annoyed looking up from the ground.
"You were not waking up and you told me to wake you up like this. Come on, get ready or we'll be late." Draco said.
Harry looked at the time in the watch then groaned again and finally got up.
"Don't know why we have to do this?"
Draco rolled his eyes and walked out of the room knowing Harry is only cranky because he woke him up and because he didn't have his coffee yet.
Said so, Harry and Draco did a light breakfast, drank their coffees and finally set out in their car for the view point.
"You done being cranky?" Draco asked while driving.
"Yeah. Needed coffee you know. How far is this place by the way?" Harry asked.
Draco shook his head, "Not that far. 15 minutes drive. We'll be there soon. If you want to take a nap till then, you can."
"It's okay. I'd rather see the view." Harry said.
They didn't talk much on the drive later because it was too early to talk for them. It was 4:30 in the morning, it only made sense. They finally reached the place after a while and climbed up the hill for the top, laughing and Harry making jokes all the while.
When they finally reached the top, Draco stood there for a few seconds completely mesmerized by the whole view of the the town from the hill.
"Shall we sit?" Draco asked as he turned to Harry.
"Sure."
Draco smiled back at him and they finally sat down on one of the tree barks, their legs hanging off in the wind swaying back and forth.
"If you could change anything about this place, would you?" Draco asked as he created a small bonfire a few steps in front of them to keep them warm.
Harry shook his head, "But I might want to make this place just ours, you know."
Draco blushed, "Stop being sappy. It's too early for this."
"Says the one who came up with the romantic plan to watch a sun rise together." Harry pointed.
"Yes but-"
"Draco, shush, it's romantic. You're just as sappy as me." Harry said. Draco finally gave in, he didn't have many options anyway.
"Would you?" Harry asked Draco.
Draco shook his head, "Although I would like to make this place ours as well."
Harry smiled at him then nudged him, teasing him about being sappy but Draco caved in. He was sappy. Very.
They talked for a while until Draco pointed at the light coming from the far edge.
"It's Sun rising." Harry smiled.
Draco unconsciously held Harry's hand and Harry held his and they very eagerly watched the sunrise. In that moment they never realised how beautiful it was to just be next to each other and watch Sun rise. It was exquisite.
Draco even gasped in between and Harry turned a little to see him and he couldn't turn back away somehow.
"You're gorgeous." Harry finally said.
Draco turned to Harry and smiled, "You're romantic."
"Only for you." Harry said.
Draco smiled and pecked Harry on the lips, "I love you."
"I love you, too."
"You know, I've seen many sun rise but this is the best." Draco suddey said after a while.
"Why?"
"Simple, because it's with you."
Harry smiled at Draco and he didn't need to say anything, he knew he didn't. He leaned his head on Draco's shoulder and just stayed like that for a long time until the Sun was all rose up in the sky, it was then when Harry finally said it,
"This is my favourite moment, Draco."
And Draco nodded, "Mine too."
It was a perfect moment. If they could stay there forever, they knew they would because they knew they'd never be this age again and they'd be never be in love as much as they were now and it was the most beautiful feeling to have.

Weasley Christmas
Tumblr media
Word 8: The Weasley burrow
"You're up early, Harry." Ginny said as Harry came down from the stairs.
"Yeah. Habit recently, I guess." He replied as he entered the kitchen where she was and sat down on one of the chairs.
"Coffee?" Ginny asked and Harry nodded.
"Why are you up so early?" Harry asked as he took the cup of coffee from her and thanked her.
She shrugged, "Habit I guess."
Harry nodded and took a sip from his coffee.
"You're missing Draco, right? That's why you can't sleep." Ginny said after a while.
Harry groaned and propped his chin on the table, "Is it that obvious?"
Ginny laughed a little and nodded, "Very, but I don't blame you. It's okay if you miss him and if you can't sleep around without him. It's a sweet thing."
"Yeah but I should be able to. It's been days." Harry groaned.
Ginny smiled at him then playfully ruffled his hair, "You're too much in love, Harry."
"I know." He muffled as he put his hand in his face.
"I really miss him, Ginny and it hurts here." He said pointing to his chest, "and the fact I won't be able to spend Christmas with him, it's just so sad."
Ginny smiled down at him and sat down next to him, "You love him too much, Harry but do you know how lucky you are to have found this? Most people don't find this unconditional love. If not this Christmas, I'm sure you'll spend many more with him and those would compensate for this year and it's so sweet to see you get upset about it but it'll be fine, Harry. You'll be able to sleep at night."
Harry obviously knew she meant the last part as a joke but he wishes it to be be true.
"I hope it gets better than this."
"Want to help with shopping, bake cookies and cake to keep your mind off it?" Ginny asked finally after a while.
Harry thought about it for a moment but then he realised distracting himself was a much better option than sitting and thinking about Draco's absence.
So, throughout the day, they went shopping, bought small gifts, wines, food and what not for the burrow and when they came back they baked cookies and cake and all of this took all day so by the time they were finally done with all of it, it was past 7 in the evening and everyone was getting ready to watch Christmas movie in the living room when then bell rung and Ginny asked Harry to answer the door.
Harry distracted, went and opened the door and for a moment he didn't really believe what he saw until Ginny fazed him back into reality by pushing him towards Draco and practically forcing him to hug Draco.
"You-" Harry muffled as he got embraced in the hug and his voice choked him.
"But you said you won't be back until after New year?" Harry asked as they broke out of the hug.
"Yeah but then Ginny called and I- I just knew I had to come back for Christmas." Draco smiled.
"Thank me later." Ginny sang behind Harry.
Harry couldn't believe himself still and hugged Draco again, "I just- I cannot tell you how happy I am to see you here now. I missed you so much, Draco."
Draco rubbed Harry's back and said, "I'vs missed you, too. I honestly can't survive a day without you either, Harry." He pushed Harry a little behind so he could look at his face and continued, "Harry, I swear I meant it when I said I want to spend all my Christmases with you and all my new years and everything but I did not hold upto my words. I can't do that Harry. I don't want to make promises I can't keep, you mean too much to me and I just can't believe I was going to let some stupid boss dictate me into staying at some place. Nothing is more important than you, Harry. Nothing is more important than my love."
Harry almost tore up and kissed Draco on his lips, gently yet with a stern desire maybe because of not having done it in a while but the urgency to kiss Draco said more than just a kiss, it was all the promises, all the tears, all the happiness he shared with Draco. It was his emotions, it was his feelings, it was his utmost happiness that Draco came, for him.
"Get a room." Ron yelled from behind and they broke apart laughing in each other's embrace.
"Want to celebrate Christmas Weasley style?" Harry asked Draco.
"I'd be glad to." Draco smiled at Harry.
And they did just that. They celebrated Christmas Weasley style and there was no Christmas better than this.

ISTG Y'ALL READ IT!!!! THIS IS SO SWEET AND SOFT AND THE AMOUNT OF COMFORT IN THIS, I'LL CRYYY 😭😭
Read this fr!!
Sun
Harry was the sun.
He burned with hope, he would eclipse you and bring a bright, beautiful light for you in your darkness. He was the sun, "Draco, do you want cookies or do you want cupcakes?"
"Both?" Draco said. He held back the tremor in his voice. He didn't want to break before him. He didn't want to break even when Harry would be there for him with his sunshine. Because he was sad more often than not.
"Not both, I have to send a batch over to Luna's and one is for us."
"Why do I have to decide, it's tough." It becoming hard to not break. A tear slides down his cheek but he brushes it off before there could be more.
"Because," Harry sets the baking sheet down and brings one cookie and one cupcake for him, "I love you?"
"Is it because you can't decide?"
"Both?" He said and his smile, it was more beautiful than the light of a thousand suns, "But I'll ditch on Luna and the others if you want both the cookies and the cupcakes."
"Why would you do that?"
Harry kissed his nose, "Because I love you and I want you to have whatever your heart desires and because you're sad?"
Draco buried his head into his shoulder and his tear stains the fabric of his white shirt, "Become a mind reader, have you?"
Harry ran his hands through Draco's hair, "Bit of a mind reader when it's you, yeah. But what's wrong, love?"
He couldn't hold himself back from breaking, "I'm sorry, I don't want to be a bother to you."
Harry set the cookie and the cupcake on the coffee table before him and brought Draco's head to his chest, "Draco, you're never ever a bother. It might be hard to believe but love, don't be sorry."
"I'm too much work, Harry."
"Not you, never you," He spoke softy and the tenderness in his words itself was so beautiful that it broke him, "even if you believe that you are, I'll do all the work in a heartbeat. No questions asked."
His sunshine, his sunflower.
His sun.
"I love you."
It elicits a soft smile out of Harry, "Now, what's wrong?"
The knot in the throat begins to ease, "If I can have both the cookies and the cupcakes, I'll share it with you."
"I'll bake all the cookies and cupcakes in the world for you."

Come away with me
Tumblr media
Word 7: Car 
“On today’s special we have George Marwin here to talk about the collapsing econo-"
Draco switched the channel. It made the buzz sound for a while before it finally landed up on a station and the song played out on its own.
It was, Come away with me by Norah Jones.
Draco reached the radio to change the station again but his fingers stopped him before he could actually change it.. Today he decided he won't change. Not today.
"Can we just put on some songs?" Harry practically whined as he became all the more restless with the journey.
Draco huffed and turned on the radio and Come away with me started playing and he was about to change it but Harry shoved his hand away.
"Let it play. It's a beautiful song. Come away with me and I will write you a song." Harry sang.
Draco turned his head to see Harry singing with such an off tune but singing with so much passion and rolling the windows down that made his hair a mess because of the breeze.
He kept looking at Harry as he noticed the colour of his eyes in the drowning sun from far off the road and how the sun reflected on his face. If Draco had to use one word for how he looked it would be, exquisite but he looked so much more than that, he looked somber, like a canvas painted in all your favourite and beautiful colours. He looked so beautiful that Draco wondered how did he not look at Harry more often.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Harry asked as he noticed Draco still looking at him more than the road.
"what way?" Draco asked.
"Like- just like- you've never seen it before." Harry said but he knew the words he was actually trying to phrase were that he had never seen someone as beautiful but he didn't say it, just yet.
"I've just never realised how beautiful you really are." Draco admitted.
Harry visibly blushed. He doesn't understand how Draco still has that fluttering effect on him but he still does and whenever it happens, he can't stop smiling.
Draco added when he noticed Harry trying to fight off a smile, "You're beautiful when you smile. I love your smile."
Harry blushed even more then turned his head away and buried it in his hands while Draco chuckled at him.
"Why did you have to actually admit it? You never compliment me." Harry groaned again.
Draco smiled, "Just because I don't say it often doesn't mean I don't feel it, that I don't think you're beautiful. I actually believe you're the most beautiful person I've ever met."
"You'll kill me. Stop. Go back to being the Draco who says I look like a mess and that I wear ridiculous clothes."
Draco laughed. He brought his hand closer to Harry's face and made him look at him.
"Sometimes it's just fun to see you this flustered. Look at you, blushing till you can't stop."
"Ugh, Draco- I hate you." Harry turned away groaning.
Draco still laughed, "I love you, too."
But in a few minutes Harry told him he loved him too and that Draco was a stupid ass who looked beautiful too.
As he made it through the song, he didn't realise the tears that had slipped down his cheeks until he saw himself in the rear view mirror of his car. He wiped away the tears from the back of his sleeves and changed the channel again.
It wasn't the same anymore. This song wasn't the same anymore because he no longer heard it with Harry. He had not even heard that song in months because he knew it reminded him of Harry and he was trying to cut off from everything that reminded him of Harry but he has been trying so hard for the last few months. He has done an incredible job at holding back his tears, at holding back his feelings, at holding back his ache. All of it he pushed behind a door but today it slipped past that door and he couldn't stop crying.
He pulled over to the side of the road and rested his head against the steering, his heart heavy and his throat constraining him. He stayed there a long time reminiscing over the lost love that would never return until he stopped crying and looked at himself. He finally wiped away all the tears, he built up his walls again, he turned off the radio and drove off like all of that never happened at all.
But it happened and it hurt him but sometimes things don't work out the way we want it to and Draco was a victim of a love story that was never meant to last.
