Blaise just held me as I cried. It felt like hours had gone by but it was probably only a few minutes. He wasn't talking just gently soothing me. God I was so pathetic. I was fucking 26 years old and still having my best friend hold me as I cried. Finally, I stopped crying and I was just being held by him. I listened to both of ours heartbeats. Beating in sync.

"Draco?" He whispered. I hummed in response not really trusting my voice. "What happened?" He asked and I started crying again.

"I-I just want you two to be happy." I cried. "I-I don't w-want you t-two to feel the need to... to sneak around." I let out a sob burying my face into his neck.

"What are you talking about?" He asked.

"You and Harry." I wheezed. He pulled back and made me look at him.

"What?"

"If you and Harry want to date, that's fine with me." I sniffled. "I just want you two to be happy and if that means being without me, it's okay."

"Draco, did you hear the voice again?" He asked and I nodded. "You forgot to take your meds. Harry and I were so scared." He told me. "But Draco, Harry and I aren't sneaking around. He loves you."

"I saw you in town together." I told him quietly. "I was at the dog park and you two seemed really cozy." I whispered and brought me into his chest holding me tightly. "Why would he ask you to take him?"

"Cause I had to get new shoes, we tol-"

"No." I tried to shove him but he was holding on to me too tightly. "He made up his mind way before Bambi chewed on your shoe." I retorted and he sighed. He patted my head gently and cleared his throat.

"We're not seeing each other Draco. We were getting you something. Harry asked me to take him. I think since you forgot to take your meds and since you saw us, you assumed the worst." He said and then made me look at him. "But we are not, in any means, involved. He is head over heels for you Draco. Please don't leave like that again."

"I'm sorry." I sniffled.

"It's not your fault. How are you feeling?"

"Sleepy." I told him and he nodded.

"Are you hungry?" He asked and I shrugged. "Okay, we can pick some food up."

"Okay." I said quietly. I stood up and we walked out without another word. Once we get in the car, we start to drive to a place that sells sandwiches. "Can you tell Harry I'm okay?" I asked and he nodded. Without taking his hands off the wheel, he tell Siri to call Harry. It rang once before he answered.

"Blaise? Are you with Draco?" He rushed out and my heart clenched painfully at the worry in his voice.

"Yes, you're on speaker. He's not really in the talking mood. He's okay and unharmed."

"Oh thank god." He exhaled. "Draco, you don't have to say anything. But I love you. I love you so much, okay?" He said. "I can't wait for you to come home so I can give you a big hug and kiss you." He told me and I smiled shyly.

"I love you too." I croaked.

"I'm happy to hear that." He chuckled. "I'll see you when you get home." He said.

"Harry, we're picking up sandwiches."

"Okay, I'll see you soon." He said and we hung up. I placed my head against the window.

"Draco, are you sure you're okay?" He asked and I sniffled.

"Yeah. Meds make me sleepy and dreary." I told him. "I think when I get home I'm gonna eat, make Harry take a bath with me, and then sleep. I am exhausted."

"No shagging?" He teased and I smiled.

"We'll see how the bath goes." I told him and he pulled into the drive through. He ordered roast beast sandwiches and a side of fries. I placed my head against the window and once we got back, I offered to carry something but Blaise refused. I sighed and we walked into the building, in the elevator and went to the twelfth floor. We got into the flat and Harry was sitting in a dim light. He smiled when he saw me and eyed him. I heard Blaise put the food down behind me.

"Hey love, why are you in the dark?" I asked and he wheeled to me slightly.

"There's a reason trust me." He chuckled and I heard him getting choked up. I went to step closer but he raised a hand. What was going on? Very carefully, he pushed himself up out of the wheelchair. He was standing! On his own! With the counter he supported himself as he walked over to me. He was actually walking to me! Finally he stood in front of me and held my hands. "Draco, you spent ten years looking for me and I promise to spend the rest of my life to make up for that." He told me and throat constricted. Very slowly, he got on one knee and pulled out a ring. It was very expensive looking. It was a silver band with three lines of diamonds going around it. The first line was white diamonds, then black diamonds, and then white diamonds. "Draco, will you marry me?" He asked. He looked up with shining eyes that matched my own.

"Yes." I croaked. He smiled and slipped the ring on my finger. With the help of me, I stood Harry up and he gave me a giant hug. We stayed there for moments just embracing and sharing tears. When we pulled away, Blaise clapped and handed us his phone.

"I got it." He smirked.

"You videotaped it?" I asked.

"Sure did." He told us. He lifted the ring and showed me. "This is what we were getting today. Your engagement, he loves you." Blaise told me and I nodded.

"I love him." I sniffed and turned to Harry. I pressed my lips to his and he wrapped his arms around me. "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize." He kissed my neck gently. "Come on my beautiful fiancé, let's eat." He said and I smiled. Blaise was setting everything up so I supported Harry in walking to the table. I sat him down on a cushion and sat next to him. We kept the conversation light considering the day I had. We finished every bite and I decided to take a bath with Harry. Blaise kept the animals busy as I walked Harry to the bathroom. He supported his own weight as I filled the tub with water and bubbles.

"I can't believe you're standing." I told him and stood next to him. I kissed his lips gently and he smiled against my lips.

"I know." He whispered.

"Are you up for a little... fooling around tonight?" I asked seductively and the answering moan made me smirk. He kissed my neck and I shivered. I had to pull away hesitantly and shut the water off. Quickly, I undressed us both and helped him sink into the tub as I did. We were on opposite sides of the tub with our legs intertwined. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. The physical therapist told me how to stretch if my back gets achy. She said if anything, I could use a walker."
"You can pee standing up." I laughed and he did too.

"Yes finally." He told me and then he got serious. "What happened today? I really thought you left." He asked and I looked away.

"I saw you and Blaise today. I hadn't taken my meds and the voice came back. It was telling me that you were cheating on me. I didn't believe it until I saw you two together." I whispered. "I came home and grabbed a few things to go somewhere else. I just want you to be happy but I couldn't face you guys yet." I said and felt my throat tighten. Harry grabbed my left hand and made me face him.

"Draco, I've been cheated on and it's the shittiest feeling in the world. I would not put someone through the pain of that even if they were my worst enemy." He told me and I smiled slightly. "This ring proves my love for you. You're the one I want. Not Blaise, not Kyle, you." He told me. "And I am so happy that you said yes because you are the love my life. Nothing will ever change that." He told me and I smiled.

"I love you Harry." I told him and he smiled. He maneuvered so he was sitting between against my legs with his back against my chest. With my right hand, I slipped it under the water and grabbed his dick.

"Fuck." He panted. "Not yet, wait until you're inside of me." He told me and I moaned.

"Then let's finished soaking and get a move on it." I growled and he laughed in response.

~~~

Harry and I were snuggled up close. After two rounds, I was thoroughly shagged and exhausted. His head rested on my chest as our left hands were intertwined.

"So whose last name are we going to take?" He asked me. "I don't really wanna hyphen it."

"Whose do you want?" I asked him.

"I want to be Harry Malfoy." He told me. "I mean, Potter is the last thing I have to my family but I wasn't raised by the Potter. I was raised by Lupin and Black." He told me and my heart swelled. "And you've always been a Malfoy, raised by a Malfoy. I want to be Harry Malfoy." He told me and I kissed the top of his head.

"I'm really happy to hear that Harry." I told him and he lifted himself up.

"I want to married here. Not in England. Despite thinking about moving back there, my life is here. My family is here, my business is here, my friends are here and most importantly, you are here. You are here with me and wherever you are, is my life." I leaned in and kissed him. It started out slow but turned kicked. I flipped him on his back cause why not another round? I kissed his neck, his collar bone, his chest, his stomach and then his abdomen. I bit the sensitive skin and he cursed out in pleasure. Finally, I put him in my mouth and he gripped my hair. I bobbed my head up and down. He let out a moan and I fondled his ball. "Oh fuck Draco." He cured. I hallowed out my cheeks and that was the last straw for him. He came quickly and I swallowed every single drop. I simply pulled off and then laid next to him.

"Goodnight my love."

"Goodnight." He said. His breathing evened and I kissed his head. All my earlier assumptions were so wrong. So very wrong. But Harry was right. He loved me and I loved him. He would spend his whole life making it up to me. And I would be forever grateful that fate was on my side.
