Chapter-16
That's all I want
"Tea or coffee?" Harry yelled and Draco replied "Tea."
"Okay." He heard Harry's reply and rubbed the side of his neck nervously. He did not know what to tell Harry and what to conceal. He couldn't tell him the whole thing of course or perhaps he should tell everything to him. That way, he will be free of the burden.
"Butter, jam or nutella?" Harry yelled again and Draco replied in an irritated tone "Bring everything. Just come back, will you?"
"Coming, sweetheart." Harry replied snidely and Draco cringed "Don't address me by that word."
"Okay, darling." Harry teased and Draco was extremely annoyed by the warmth he was feeling in the pit of his stomach. Nevertheless, he glared at the green eyed man who was coming with a tray in his hand and was extremely amused.
He placed the tray on the table and sat beside him. This surprised Draco. In the past, Harry used to sit across him.
He served for Draco and then he served for himself.
Five minutes were spent in comfortable silence, after which Draco spoke up "Harry" He stopped and cleared his throat before taking a sip of his tea.
Harry replied "yes." And served some pineapple for Draco.
"I can serve myself." Draco said eating the fruit and Harry smiled "I like serving you. I have missed doing this for the past four year Draco. Do not stop me please."
Draco closed his eyes and tried to breathe. His mental stupor was interrupted by an impatient tapping.
He ignored it and started speaking "Harry. I want to tell you everything. I want to tell you the reason due to which I entered in prostitution at the first place. I am tired of keeping secrets from you Harry."
The tapping started again and Harry huffed "Bloody bird. Let it wait. Please continue."
"So, I will begin from the starting. After the trial, I-"
TAP. TAP. TAP. TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP.
Draco glared at the irritating owl and finally stood up to open the window. He looked at it suspiciously and took the letter. The bird flew away and Draco opened the letter.
Darling,
How can you forget what I am capable of? After all, it was me who led you to it, eh? If I can lead you, I can lead Potter too.
Always remember darling. If you ever reveal my identity or that of my friends to Potter, I will destroy Potter and you.
Also, you need to come back Draco. Your CUSTOMERS have missed you. You don't deserve a man like Potter. You are dirty, pathetic slut. You are damaged goods Draco and Harrryy deserves better.
If you know what's good for you, you will come back to do what you are good at and you will leave Potter alone.
Consider this my last warning.
Avernig
Draco's blood turned cold and he almost dropped the letter on the floor.
"Draco, who has written this letter?" It was Harry who had asked this. Harry was standing just behind him and had read the letter. He spun around and glared at him.
XXXX
Harry read the letter carefully behind Draco's shoulders. He had a hunch as to who the writer was but he could be wrong. It could be a trap. So he stayed quiet and waited for Draco to speak. Of course, he knew the words that would escape Draco's mouth.
"You do not need to know. I am not going to tell you." Draco glared at him and Harry sighed before closing his eyes. He was worried about Draco. Draco was looking wild now, wild and terrified.
"Okay. Your tea is already cold. You need to have it." He spoke softly and Draco stared at him, the letter crumpled in his hands. "What? You expected me to snap at you, to force you to spill the secret that has been torturing you for the past decade. You want me to shout at you to tell me about the writer of this letter? Believe me Draco, I am not going to do either. Do not forget to burn that bloody letter."
"It does not concern you." Draco said and his eyes were a bit hurt. Harry knew that Draco was under a misconception that Harry did not care so he decided to clear his doubts "There are other ways to find Draco. I could have already tried but I did not, not because I don't care, but because I do not want you to be compelled to do anything at all. Mark my words and remember them, the moment I realize the identity of this person and his friends, I will destroy them and I will find everything, no matter you want or not. I have a hunch as to who the writer is. I will give you time to tell me. If you don't, I will have to take steps."
Harry's heart was thundering and he saw red when he thought of the person who had probably written this letter. All he wanted was to confront that vile, bastard, bloody swine. But he would wait for Draco to come around because that's what Draco needed.
Draco stared at him and just stared "I need to go for a meeting with the coven of Werewolfs from Canada. I have been trying brew a potion which might help them keep their human bodies during the full moon, if they so desire. I have to discuss whether they are interested." He spoke in a rush.
"Where is it?" Harry asked carelessly, acting as if wasn't a big deal.
"Sourthern Street, No. 7 Hall 2. Why?" Came Draco's reply and Harry looked into Draco's eyes while he muttered "I have a meeting with a property dealer over there. I am coming with you."
Draco stammered "You are not my keeper. I can protect myself."
"Well, I can't. I need you to protect me. I am afraid that this person would abduct me. Are you saying that you don't want to protect me? Say it bluntly." Harry spoke, trying to sound genuine. Of course Draco saw through him and spoke "You are lying. You do not need my protection at all. You just want to protect me."
"I need protection because I am reckless and I can see that you do not want to protect me. Okay, then I will go by myself." Harry spoke as morosely as he could. Draco looked at him with wide eyes and whispered "You are being ridiculous."
Harry averted his eyes. Now he really was hurt. Perhaps, Draco did not want his presence at all.
He started walking towards the table to complete his breakfast "It's okay if you do not want my presence. I will not impose myself on you." He said quietly and sadly. He was genuinely hurt which must have been obvious in his voice because Draco hugged his waist to stop him and whispered "Sweet Merlin, Potter, aren't you overly dramatic. I am just worried."
Harry closed his eyes and pulled away. Draco did not trust him. He did not trust him at all. If he had trusted Harry, he would have told him everything. But Draco decided to keep everything hidden. He walked towards the table sat on it. Draco followed him and sat beside him.
"Where is the letter?" Harry asked "Did you burn it?"
Draco nodded and replied "Yes." And Harry did not say anything after that.
XXXX
Draco stared at Harry who was having his breakfast quietly. Initially, he had been acting but now Harry seemed genuinely hurt.
"What's the matter?" He asked, worried about Harry's behaviour. Harry did not answer which escalated his worry. "Harry, what is the matter? Will you tell me?"
"You don' trust me at all." Harry replied as a matter of fact and Draco just stared, wondering where all this was coming from. "What do you mean? Of course I trust you."
"You don't." Harry replied and his voice broke at the end, though his eyes were completely dry when he looked at Draco. "And I do not know what to do to gain your trust, Draco. I have been trying."
Harry said and looked at him again after placing his cup on the table. Draco had frozen from shock on his chair.
"I have been trying to gain your trust. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to write in my blood that I love you, that I won't leave you, no matter what happens." Harry continued and Draco blinked hard.
"I do trust you." Draco whispered and Harry stood up "You would tell me if you trusted me." Draco was about to stand but Harry snapped at him "Do eat your breakfast, Draco. You are already weak. I am coming with you, all right. Make of this what you wish."
Draco stared at the spot Harry had just stood on wondering about the man. Each and every gesture of his dripped his love for Draco.
"I had cast a warming charm on your breakfast. HAVE IT BEFORE GETTING UP." Harry yelled and Draco yelled back "All right. No need to scold me."
He received no response to that and yelled again "I am sure you don't need my protection now that you are angry with me."
"Talk about yourself, dear husband. I do need your protection and I AM coming with you." Harry replied loudly and continued "I am ready and I am waiting in the sitting room. Do not get up without having your breakfast."
"OKAY." Draco shouted, irritated by Harry's ridiculous behaviour.
XXXX
The meeting had been good and the werewolfs had been interested in his proposal. Now, he had a lot of research and work to do and Harry's hurt eyes were making it difficult for him to concentrate.
"Harry." He whispered. Harry had not spoken to him at all throughout the day.
"Draco, you know my relatives did not trust me with anything. I wanted them to love me and trust me. But they did not love me. They turned my life into a hell. Ever since I have understood love, I have been in love with you. Your trust Draco. that's all I want. You can take as much time as you want but you have to stop hurting yourself." Harry stopped and breathed deeply "You don't trust me with your protection and I think that perhaps Vernon was right. I am useless and worthless. I must be if my husband does not trust me."
Draco breathed deeply. This was getting serious. Harry was holding his demons inside him and this statement was a proof of this fact. Draco realized that he was being stupid. Of course, he trusted Harry. He was afraid that Harry would kill them. He decided to make a quick decision and spoke "I trust you."
He shifted and lay on Harry's body, placing his chin on his chest and looking into his eyes. He bit Harry's cheeks lovingly and continued "I am afraid that you would do something illegal to avenge me. I know that you won't leave me."
Harry looked at him and rolled his eyes "As if you would let me."
"As if you would listen to me." Draco looked pointedly at him and Harry tapped his nose with his own "Of course, I would."
"On a serious note, I want you to promise me that you won't do anything to end you in Azkaban." Draco spoke and Harry looked into his eyes. Draco almost gasped when he see black fury in the depth of Harry's eyes. He realized that Harry wanted to kill them and this was the exact thing he was worried about.
Harry did not answer and it was worrying. The green eyes stared at him and he stared back. Harry's hands that had been on his sides wrapped around him tightened and he flipped them around, lying on Draco and Draco's breath hitched. He breathed when Harry held Draco's hands in his and stretched them above his head and kissed his lips hungrily. Draco's heart beats sped up and he stared into Harry's angry and hungry eyes.
"Of course, I would try to avenge you. Of course, I would try to kill them. It will be upto you to stop me." Harry muttered, his lips touching Draco's and Draco moaned when Harry sucked the lower lip.
"I will listen to you and I will stop but-" Harry stopped and sucked Draco's earlobe viciously before continuing "-but nothing and no one will stop me if they hurt you ever again."
"I will tell everything to you tomorrow evening." Draco whined and Harry returned his attention to Draco's lips, kissing him passionately and hungrily, mumbling softly "I love you so much."
Fifteen minutes later, spent and content, Draco lay spooned by Harry, wondering how he would tell everything to Harry. It would devastate his husband. He was also wondering why he wanted Harry to hug him tighter and why he felt unsatisfied though he had just come inside his pyjamas.
Irritated, he burrowed in Harry's arms and Harry mumbled "Go to sleep Draco."
"Harry, I want to go to that ministry function with you. It is day after tomorrow." Draco blurted and Merlin only knew why those words slipped his mouth but they did and Harry yawned "Okay. We are going shopping tomorrow after I have set everything in the duelling academy I want to start. I have no robes at all. I borrowed from Ron whenever I needed them."
"Harry, why are you not hugging me properly?" He whined and Harry slipped his hands inside Draco's shirt and rested them on his stomach, hugging him close to his body and Draco sighed in relief.
"Happy now. You can turn around if you want and become my teddy bear." Harry said before yawning again and Draco turned around to glare at him "I am not a teddy bear."
Harry opened one eye and kissed his nose "You are my sweet teddy bear. Now, please go to sleep. We have a long day tomorrow. You have to visit that shop owner tomorrow who wanted to sell your potions. He is near my academy and would be convenient for you."
Draco hugged Harry, his arms and legs around the man and spoke "I love you."
"Hmmm. Love you too. Goodnight. Don't forget your promise." Harry whispered and placed his face on Draco's shoulders.
"I won't. Goodnight." Draco mumble, already knowing that the truth would devastate Harry. But there was no other alternative. Draco was confused with Weasley's reaction. He wondered if their was in fact some conspiracy going on it could be someone polyjuced as Weasley. Why had escaped it notice before?
"Harry." he murmured to voice his ideas and Harry whined "Draco. Please sleep. We will talk in the morning."
"Okay. Don't get your knickers in a twist." Draco replied mockingly but Harry was already snoring so he closed his eyes too and let sleep take over. Harry's arms worked wonders and for once, he did not have any nightmares.
