Chapter 13~

~Decided not to write smut because honestly I can't, I mean I could but it will be cringe and I am not here for that, Forgive me.~

Harry woke up and stretched as he realized that he wasn't alone in the bed he was in, Harry looked over and saw Draco still sleeping beside him, Harry's eyes widened as he lifted the covers and saw that he was completely naked, Harry gulped as he looked around and saw their clothes sprawled out across the floor, Harry sighed silently as he ran his fingers through his hair, Did last night really happen? Harry could feel pain in his lower area as he tried to move, he wondered how this would change his and Draco's friendship, would it be considered more than friendship now or did it only happen because they were drinking? Harry didn't know, Harry got up and walked toward the bathroom with a slight limp, making sure not to wake up Draco as he collected his clothes.

When Harry got out of the bathroom he could see that Draco was now up, Harry gulped as he walked forward and sat beside him on his bed awkwardly, Harry couldn't look him in the eye just yet as he played with his fingers, he didn't know what to say,

"Do you regret it?" Draco whispered and Harry could sense this sadness in his tone that made Harry's heart begin to beat fast, Harry was surprised by the question but soon met his gaze,

"No," Harry answered, "But do you?" Harry asked, Draco met his gaze and shook his head and Harry took this opportunity to lean forward and lightly kiss him, moving his hand to his cheek as Draco kissed him back, it was a familiar taste, Harry loved it, Harry pulled away and smiled,

"But are you sure you feel this way for me?" Draco asked, "I mean, I just-"

"Yes, I have felt like this for a while," Harry interrupted him, "I just didn't want to scare you," Harry looked away for a moment before reaching out and holding his hand, "Don't be insecure, I really like you," Harry explained,

Draco stood there silent for what felt like forever and Harry couldn't make out the emotions playing on his face, Harry wondered if Draco regretted last night even though he motioned that he didn't and kissed him back, Harry pulled his hand away as he hugged his arm looking away,

And just as Harry was going to say something, there was a knock on their door, Harry got up quickly and answered to see Hermione and Ron telling them they had to leave.

When they got back to Hogwarts, Draco said nothing to Harry, he dodged him and went to somewhere Harry couldn't follow, both of his friends were confused as to what happened but Harry honestly was not sure, one minute everything was fine and then it wasn't. Harry sat in the library as he laid his head down, he thought back to the night before and how perfect his first time was, it was everything he wanted but now that Draco was suddenly avoiding him, he didn't know how to think about the whole situation,

"Okay, What happened?" Hermione asked as she sat in front of him, Harry looked up at her, "You guys seemed fine before you left yesterday, and then this morning, no one said anything to the other,"

"Well, We did it last night," Harry told her, her eyes went wide but Harry knew she already figured that, "And then I told him I liked him and got no response," Harry sighed,

"He just said nothing after having sex with you?" Hermione questioned, Harry could see the confusion on her face,

"I'm just as confused as you are," Harry told her, "And I tried to follow him but he was fast," Harry told her, "What do I do?" He asked,

"Maybe he is just trying to figure out his feelings," Hermione told him, "Maybe he does feel the same but is afraid, maybe he still has guilt from your past,"

"Maybe," Harry whispered as he put his head down again, "Or maybe he kissed me sober and figured out that he doesn't like me like that and I just ruined a friendship I was begining to really enjoy," Harry whispered,

"I'm sure it isn't like that," Hermione sighed next to him and Harry really wanted to believe her but he didn't know if he could, "Just give him time," She suggested, Harry nodded in response.

"I didn't mean to say nothing when you told me that," Draco said as Harry got through the room of his dorm, "I just couldn't believe you said it,"

"What do you mean?" Harry asked as he placed his stuff on his bed, "Was it too fast? I don't want this to ruin anything," Harry looked down as he sat down,

"How can you like me after everything?" Draco whispered but Harry could hear him clearly, "I put you through hell, I know you said it's fine and I was happy you forgave me but I didn't know you liked me," Draco explained,

"I didn't expect it either but every time we hung out ever since the night of the bar, I have been feeling this way," Harry told him, "If this is you telling me you do not like me that way then tell me," Harry looked at Draco who was fiddling with his hand,

"I don't think there was a time since we met where I didn't feel this way for you," Draco confessed causing Harry's eyes to widen, "Yes, That's right, I've had a crush on you this entire time but didn't know how to deal with it so I put you through hell," Draco shook his head,

"You liked me this entire time?" harry was in a bit of shock at the newfound information, "But I never noticed, I thought you hated me,"

"I hated that I couldn't do anything since my father wanted me to hate you," Draco explained, "He is against being gay he believes it's wrong, me wanting his approval, I just pushed it away and acted as if I hated you so that he wouldn't question me," Draco explained,

"Wow," Was all Harry could say, "But now you can do and have whoever you want," Harry explained, "So what is stopping you?"

"Do you really think I deserve you after how I was?" Draco shook his head, "You deserve someone better, Someone who never hurt you, Not me," Draco wouldn't meet his gaze, Harry sighed as he got up from his bed and walked closer to Draco,

"I want you," Harry told him, "Even after everything, I want you, You do deserve me, Please," Harry begged as he went to his knees, in any other situation he would be embarrassed he was doing this, "Just be with me, We deserve to be happy after everything that has happened,"

"But what will the others say?" Draco looked into his eyes for the first time, "They will hate you," Draco worried,

"I don't care," Harry said before leaning forward and kissing Draco passionately, Draco hesitated before kissing him back.
