Revelations in a Broom Cupboard part 9 

Pairing: Harry/Draco
Warnings: canon compliant only to Deathly Hallows, EWE

Draco almost just came out and said it, but it was so huge.

"Are you sure you wouldn't like to take the easy route and settle down and marry your Weasley?" he had to ask.

Draco was surprised by the way his heart twisted when Harry thought about that.

"I love her, she loves me, but we both have too much baggage," Harry said. "We make much better friends. I could ask you the same, you could be discrete with others."

And that was the crux of it.

"Oh Merlin's balls," he said, "I don't want discrete with anyone else."
