A/N ~ Here is the next chapter in the installment. You thought the stories were dead right? Not anymore. Life happens and so does so much more, but hopefully I can finish these with style.

Chapter 10
Severus carried his burden down the hall, Draco never wavered in his contact. Together, the calm and serenity was like a cloak over them. He had noticed his own fears return when they were apart, fear of the backlash of his position in the war, fear of the return to obscurity. By the end of the words, his soul, once dark felt uplifted as it had never been. Together they would have to face the world, together they would have to face each other and yet, Severus was sure, together they would stand.
Once in their own quarters, Draco and Severus quietly laid Harry down and let him rest. Severus took hold of Draco’s hand and walked them back to the sitting room. The two of them sat in quiet for a while, Severus holding Draco to him, and both of them closing their eyes against the world.
Harry on the other hand tossed and turned away from the warmth of his companions. Inside his head was a dark place. Without the center and strength of the others, the nightmares came, the visions of the dead and the grief of the loss. So many faces surrounded him, the air was suffocating, and the screams were deafening. He was reaching for something to hold on to. His fingers scratched for purchase. His own screams and moans became louder.
Severus woke to the soul piercing scream from the other room, Draco roused as well. They made it to Harry’s side and slid in next to him. with each stroke and touch, the struggle died down and the hands seeking purchase found Severus. Severus drew Harry to him, letting his arms wrap tightly around the smaller man. Draco, scooted closer, pressing his own body against Harry’s and smiling at the sigh that left Harry’s lips. Draco whispered softly into Harry’s ear.
“We got you… We are here.”
Severus and Draco fell into a soft slumber. Together the peace was a remedy to the chaos of life and darkness.
Harry found the safety his dreams never offered when his eyes were open. His body told him that he needed to move, the aches of lying for so long. But his soul refused to let his body move, so much comfort and safety. Yet the call of the loo was stronger.
He shifted out from under Severus’ hold and slid over Draco’s pale form and walked to the bathroom, cold from the loss. The mirror held him as he stared back at the person within. Harry stared at his reflection, with dark circles under his eyes, hair that had once at least been washed and unkempt. He turned the shower on and let the hot spray of water flow over him. He sank to his knees and let the water pound his body, the heat filtering into every muscle, and the silence booming inside his head. How much baggage did he bring? The hope of the morning slipping away with the water and remnants of his dreams.
Draco woke and found Harry missing, but the compulsion was strong towards the bathroom. He shook Severus awake.
“It seems our wandering lover has found melancholy in the bathroom.” Draco stated. Severus looked at the blonde, pulled him close and into a scorching kiss. Both men were a bit dazed when Severus pulled them apart, and slid off the bed.
“Let's see what we can do.” Severus whispered with a smile.
Draco nodded, trying to regain his cool. Kissing Harry was intoxicating, kissing Severus was drugging… They moved together, softly and silently. Severus pulled the curtain back and his heart ached. He divested himself of his dark shirt and helped Draco pull off his own white shirt. Both of the pant clad men slid in and around Harry's prone form. Severus reaching under Harry's arms to pull the dark man up and to his chest. Draco knelt in front stroking Harry's drawn face. It was like Harry was unaware of their presence.
Harry barely moved, he could only feel. He felt pushed down and drowning in a sea of darkness. The light of morning gone with the weight of demons. For a moment he only felt cold and emptiness. Slowly, a heat crept up from far away, starting in his toes. His soul longed for whatever it was that was filling him. Each passing second pushed his darkness further away and he began to hear whispers of his name. His body becoming warmer. So long did his body starve for touch, that without it, he drained of all good will.
Severus felt the coldness in Harry's body as he picked Harry up. The water was hot, but something was not right with the man in his arms. "Draco, Come closer. We must warm him, the water is not touching what lies beneath." Severus whispered. Draco moved in close, sandwiching Harry between himself and Severus.
"I've hear of something like this before." Draco stated, "It was while I helped with one of my mother's charities." Draco pressed closer, linking his arms all the way around to hold on to Severus.
"There were a few ladies who were talking about some kids who went bone cold after they were adopted. The medi witches couldn't figure out why, until a janitor told them that going without touch for so long, leaves the body unable to process touch properly when suddenly introduced. The ladies went on about the Janitor offering opinions." Draco explained his eyes sad.
Severus nodded solemnly. He understood, he underwent the same thing when he first met Lily. "I know what he needs, it will take some time and effort on our part, but we both can help." Severus stated as he gripped Harry and hauled the man to his chest. Draco Stood and they carefully got out of the heated bathtub.
Severus carried Harry back to the bed, but did not let go.
"Find a restorative draught, then I will explain what we need to do." Severus instructed as he reached for his wand and dried them all. He laid Harry down in the middle of the bed, and stood up. He undressed completely and crawled under the covers with Harry and waited.
Draco found the draught he was looking for quickly. Thankfully the castle had send all the things they needed and Severus' potions were all labeled. He made his way back to the bedroom and was momentarily stunned. Severus was gloriously naked and pressed against a perfect Harry. Draco shook his head trying to clear his head for just a moment as his cheeks burned and his groin ached. He stumbled a bit as he moved to hand the draught to Severus. Eye dark as night captured his gaze and the sinful voice played over his body like a sensuous melody.
"Strip down and climb in behind him. His body needs to be touched as much as possible everywhere. We must fill his body with as much sensation as we can to bring him out of this. Then going forward, one of us has to always be touching or holding him for a while. We cannot let him be alone, until his body has come to accept the touch." Severus explained.
"You sound like you have done this before." Draco whispered as he moved to the other side of the bed. Draco saw that he was right by the far away look in the man's eyes.
"A friend helped me once," Severus stated, "Platonically" he added when he saw a spark of jealousy in Draco's eyes.
Draco removed his clothing and scooted in behind Harry, looking to Severus for guidance.
"Now we make love to his body in every way we can to draw him out." Severus said, his voice husky and full of desire.
