Chapter-12
Complicated
Weeks had elapsed since that night and Draco had grown complicated. Harry had to walk on eggshells around him.
He had started thinking that Harry would leave him just because he had seen those photos.
Of course Harry was angry but he was angry at people who had hurt Draco. Why would he be angry at Draco at all?
"Let's go out for dinner today. " Harry said. They were sitting at the dining table having lunch. Draco had decided to give them another chance and had decided not to leave again. He had started operating from home itself. It was big and spacious enough.
Harry knew that Draco was hiding something crucial from him and he would not tell anything to Harry. This did not change the fact that he wanted to know what Draco was hiding because whatever it was, it was eating Draco from inside.
As expected Draco flinched and asked stiffly "Why? Is there something you need to talk about?"
Harry replied in a soft voice "Do I need a reason to take my husband out?"
His voice must have betrayed his anger because Draco flinched again "If you want me to leave, please just tell me. I know that I am not the same for you. I know that those photos have broken you."
Harry slammed his hand on the table and snarled "That's it. This is where everything gets stuck. You don't bloody trust me."
"Why are you getting angry at me? Of course I trust you. I - I am sorry. " Draco murmured and Harry tried to control his breathe.
" Draco I am not angry at you. But you need to trust me. I am not going to leave - " Harry broke off because Draco was not sitting in front of him. He was behind Harry, his hands inside Harry's shirt and his lips on Harry's neck. Though Harry did not want to stop Draco, he knew that he must.
" Sweet Merlin Draco. " He spoke sharply and when Draco tried to open his trouser button, he knew that he must stop this madness " Stop it Draco."
Draco backed off and sat back on his seat across from Harry again, looking terrified and devastated and bloody Merlin, his eyes were shining.
"Do you think I am blind or perhaps you think I am dumb? I can clearly see that you are trying to please me with these things. Since when are you terrified that I would leave you?" Harry removed his plate and placed his hands on the table.
Draco murmured "I am sorry."
"Bloody hell Draco, will you listen to yourself? Why do you keep on implying that Sex is the only thing you are good at? Why can't you see that you do not need to resort to sex to keep me happy? In the past I might have ignored it so as not to scare you off but I can see that we need to talk about this. If you don't trust me yet, it's completely fine. YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE SEX WITH ME TO KEEP ME WITH YOU. I am completely happy without it. I am living with you because I love you, your soul and heart not just your body. " Harry said and Draco was looking so small that his heart clenched " Whatever you are hiding is eating you up. Just tell me. I am not going to judge you or be angry at you. And why do you start crying? It's like you are terrified, Draco and I hate it. I hate seeing you weak. I hate it that you have to seduce me to please me. I hate it that you have an inferiority complex. I love you so much and I hate to see you in pain, pain that you hide from me."
Draco simply shook his head and looked at his lunch. Harry closed his eyes and sighed. He opened his eyes when he heard a small voice "I won't try to please you with sex. "
"Tell me Draco. What have you been hiding? Why are you so scared all the time, especially when Ron and Hermione are around. You try to hide it behind your anger but I can always see the fear in your eyes." Harry started and Draco cut him off "I can't tell you. I just can't. I just need you. Please I-I just - please -"
Harry heard the note of desperation on his eyes and shifted his chair and stood up.
He opened his arms and sighed worriedly "Come here, my Draco." Draco stood up slowly and walked towards him, his eyes worried "Don't worry. I am not angry. I am just concerned. We will talk again later."
Draco wrapped his arms around Harry's waist and murmured "Let's go out for dinner today. I want to go out with you."
" Okay " Harry said and Draco placed his head on Harry's shoulder. Harry could clearly see that Draco was upset and something was stopping him from revealing everything to Harry. He would try again and again and he will keep on trying until Draco told him.
He won't commit the same mistake again. He won't ignore Draco's depression.

Severus Snape knew the reason of Draco's insecurity. Draco had told him and had also asked him not to tell anyone. He had told it to Sirius and Remus, though. Though he had been utterly shocked to know, he had not been able to do anything because Draco had discouraged him from taking any step.
It had been a decade since Harry had spoken to Black, him or Lupin properly. He had accused them of letting him stay with Dursleys instead of taking him in. He spoke through floo or owl and only when they wished. Technically speaking, Black was completely innocent. He had been in Azkaban and Severus had said this to the brat.
Harry said that his godfather should have been free to take care of him instead of getting himself imprisoned.
The conversation had taken place a decade ago when Potter had found Draco and had taken him out of that hell, thereafter marrying him. Severus had always known that marriage had been a very wrong decision. He had tried to reason with Draco but Draco had not wanted his pity.
They had married and as expected, it had been a disaster. Technically speaking, the blame did not rest on Potter's shoulders completely.
Harry had his own demons, still has and Draco was in depression. They needed time to get to know each other and they ran into marriage without even trusting each other with their respective pasts.
After they separated and Harry finally realized his mistake, he wrote to Black, Lupin and him. Though he forgave Harry, Black and Lupin didn't, not completely atleast.
For the past few weeks, Draco had lived with Harry and had decided to give their marriage another chance. Severus could already see the differences, some of them good and some bad.
For example, Harry was trying to understand Draco and was currently sitting in front of him to talk about him and Draco's eyes looked less tortured when he visited.
On the other hand, Harry was prioritising Draco's past struggles to his and Draco was looking subdued and his eyes were distant and had a little terror in them.
Draco might want to bury his anger behind a veil of terror and insecurity but Severus knew. Severus knew that it was just a matter of time. His fury will show itself again.
"He looks so terrified and I am so worried for him Professor." Harry spoke and Severus shook his head, placing his hands on the table "He is not scared of anyone. Call me Severus by the way. On another note let me tell you that Draco is not scared. Draco has become very short tempered with years. You have not seen it because he had been at home for the past few weeks. Soon enough he will get an invitation from a business house or French ministry or perhaps some rich entrepreneur wanting to sell his potions and then you will know."
"What do you mean ?" Harry asked, his eyes keen and surprised.
"He might appear subdued to you but he is not. You are the only one in the whole world who can control his temper. You are the only one who can understand him. He is scared of losing you and does not want you to see his temper. " Severus answered and Harry cut him off " Their is something he is hiding. "
" It is better it remains hidden. He does not want you hurt. I fear that it is just a matter of time before you realize the truth. "
" Will you stop taking in riddles? " Harry glared at him. This was another change. Harry had controlled his temper.
Severus sighed " I can't tell you. I have heard that Minister O' Dmello is hosting a party in a couple of days and is going to invite Draco and you. I am quite sure that he will invite some important people from Britain as well. Stay with Draco. That's all I can say. "
Harry looked irritated but did not say anything to that instead of huffing " I wonder if you are channeling Dumbledore. Talking in riddles like him. "
" Take Draco over to his parent's apartment, eh? They miss him. He has not spoken to them except by owl since they returned. I think he can't face them. " Severus said and Harry nodded " Okay. I will try. All right then, I must be off. He must be waiting for me. "

Severus nodded and Harry apparated to house. He opened the lock and entered the dining room. As expected, Draco was sitting on the dining table waiting for him. As soon as he entered, Draco looked at him with furious eyes. Draco had prepared the dinner today. Every dish was his favorite. It was obvious that Draco had taken time to prepare a delicious meal for him. Their dinner had been good the other night and Harry had fallen in love with Draco all over again.
"Where were you? " Draco asked suspiciously and his voice was angry.
It was amazing Harry had been angry with Draco's possessiveness in the past. It was so sweet.
" I was with Severus, trying to get him to spill the thing that you are hiding from me. He refused of course. " Harry said and his stomach grumbled. " The meal looks delicious. I am so hungry. Merlin only knows how you manage your profession and cooking at the same time. Did you eat? I wish you haven't. I want to eat with you. "
Harry looked up to find an utterly shocked Draco Malfoy looking at him.
Every ounce of anger that his face had displayed had vanished and Harry wondered if it had always been so easy to calm him down.
" I thought you ate outside. " Draco said and stood up " I will warm everything up. "
Harry replied, entering the room " I wanted to eat with you. Let me help you. "
That was that. Draco smiled and they had dinner peacefully.
Draco's flushed when Harry appreciated his efforts to prepare Harry's favorites and replied " You have been working hard on your duelling for the past few days. I wanted you to have a good evening."
These things always amazed Harry. Draco was so caring and thoughtful and Harry loved him. He hugged him close to his heart and murmured "I love you."
"I love you too. "
Harry wondered what Severus meant when he asked Harry to be close to Draco during that ministry party that was about to occur in a couple of days.
Only time will tell.
