Arranged marriage

It has been three months since his marriage.

Many things has changed within these three months and none of them were good for him. Not to tell the worst part was being married with Draco. His husband did not talk to him much. Even he avoided staying in the same room as Harry. He avoided having meals in Harry's presence. He did not like Harry near his bed. His closet had no place for Harry's cloths.

Only good thing was Narcissa. She treated him like his own son. But she never said anything about Draco's behaviour. Laying on Draco's bedroom couch Harry always wondered why Lucius made him suffer, by making him Marry Draco. Draco cleary had no interest in this marriage. Harry though never knew his parents, but was aware, parents are no one to choose your life partner. 

After two months of their marriage the older Malfoy couple left the Manor. They had to go back to their Country House, leaving the young couple alone. Well technically leaving Harry alone.

The day Harry's in laws left the house Harry found his belongings laying on the door step of Draco's room, Draco had kicked him out. But fortunately the Manor was big, so the maids cleaned another room for him.

His days were same. Harry went to college, came back to the Manor with in 6 PM and after that he had nothing to do. So, he took on cooking, as his time pass. Draco was not home most of the nights after his parents left, he had no one in that big palace but the house care takers as company. 

Harry, made sure to do his best pretending infront of everybody that he was happy to prove that he has a very happy married life with Draco. He never wanted them to know, how unwanted he felt living with Draco. Harry knew Draco hated him more than anything, he could say Maybe the Dursleys hated him less.

Everyday Harry wondered, why this hatred? He knew Draco married him unwillingly, and it is normal to not like someone the first time you meet the, He also knew there would be awkwardness between them at the beginning, with that he hoped they would slowly work as a couple together. But Draco didn't even pretend he liked Harry, with his every action he proved he hated Harry. 

The innocent man was too oblivious to notice, Draco returning home late at night after meeting with his boyfriend, Theodore Nott.

Though they didn't sleep in the same room, but Harry would always wait in the living room for his husband to return. Draco would come home, dead at night, and go straight to his bedroom glaring at Harry for once. And the poor young man would drag himself to the other room he was using.

Lying on the bed alone at the night, Harry always cried himself to sleep. He never wished this life. When he was a teenager laying in Dudley's second bedroom floor, he dreamt of a big house, a soft bed to sleep to, and a husband. He had all now but not the way he wanted to have them.

Spending almost three months of his marriage like this Harry decided to talk to his husband. Harry has always thought communication can solve many problems easily. He thought talking with Draco he can make this relationship work.

Next morning as usual Draco was getting ready in his room, for the day. He had some business meeting. 

Harry came to his room, with the breakfast tray on his hand, which was not his job at all.

"I have a question," Harry said, placing the breakfast on the bedside table.

Draco did not acknowledge his husband and continued doing his hair.

Harry sighed. "Why do you hate me so much? I mean I understand you didn't want this marriage, but what did I do? I'm dragged into it the same way you have been. " Harry asked softly.

Draco just glared at him, causing Harry to flinch. 

"I know you can never like me from day one, that's not normal, we were strangers, but..."

"Oh, you think so highly of ourself! You think, you are likable?" Draco said turning to look at Harry, his voice full of venom. 

Harry was hurt with the words, still he worded, "please tell me what did I do?"

"You fucking asking what did you do? How dare you, you disgusting piece of shit!! You agreed to marry for money!! Such a loser you are. Can't find a better job to feed your family?" Draco shouted this time, "you are destroying the pure thing called marriage with your greed, you fucking asshole!"

"Money? What are you talking about?" Harry asked confused. "All my income is sent to the Dursley, that's why Lucius agreed to give me some every month. And I don't spend them without any necessary. But if you have any problem with it I'll stop taking that. Infact I also feel like I'm getting paid for getting married with you. "

"You are getting what you are wanted, aren't you? you are so useless that's why you secured a future for your family from our money, God knows what the hell you did to my parents, that they agreed with you! Agreed in this condition!" 

"I did nothing! I don't know anything, I did "

"Look at you, acting all innocent. " Draco sneered. "Don't you know your family agreed to let you marry me, since father gave them money? "

This was new information to Harry. He was shocked. He should have guessed, there was something behind the marriage and stuff. If he knew he would have never agreed to this.

"I- I'm learning about this now, from you. Belive me I had no idea Vernon did this," Harry said in a small voice, he knew his uncle hated him but never did he imagine his uncle would practically sell him, "if I had knows about this, I would have never agreed for this marriage, please believe me"

"Just stop this already!! Don't lie, you know, my first boyfriend in high school did the same with me? Was in a relationship with me just for my money! I know very well people like YOU" Draco shouted, "And you should know, I would never love you no matter how much you try, and now that we are talking, let me tell you, I have a boyfriend Theo, one day I'm gonna marry him. He's much better than you. Atleast he is not after me for my money. So count the days when you will be thrown out of this house." And then Draco stormed out of the room.

This was the reason for Draco's hatred! But Harry really did not know that, and runing the pureness of marriage with money! He can never do that, He adores love! 

Harry fell on his knees, tear storming down his cheek. The poor man did not know how he will make Draco belive he was innocent! But is there a point? Draco already has someone in his life. 

Why does, Dursleys have to ruin his life always!

*:..｡o○ ○o｡..:*

On his way to home from college Harry decided to meet with the Dursleys He needed to know, why they planned the hell for him. Harry really wanted to know what did he do to his family, for them to hate him this much?

But to his surprise, there was no Dursley in 4, Privet Drive. The door was locked. The Dursleys had left.

Now all his ways to come out of this hell was lost. He couldn't plead to the Dursley family to give back the money. Harry's last hope of starting his life again leaving Draco, was shattered into pieces.

That night Draco did not come home. Now Harry knew where his husband was. Though he waited for him. And when it was 3 AM, at last, he decided to go to bed. He needed rest. 

Harry started to accept his faith of loveless life. And eagerly waited for the day Draco would divorce him.

..............

"Hi, Harry!!" Pansy hugged the black-haired boy, who was waiting for him in front of the cafe, like they had planned to do from the very first day.

Harry gave her a light smile, as the girl pulled back.

Draco was distancing himself from his friends, for many days now, and Harry was getting closer to them. He was happy to get friends.

"Are you okay Harry?" Pansy asked concerned. 

"Why did you never tell me about Theodore Nott?" The boy asked looking at the short hair woman's eyes.

"What?" Pansy asked shocked.

"Draco's boyfriend..."

"I was informed they broke up one week before you guys' marriage...SO I never bothered to tell you...Since you're newlywed. And you know..." Pansy frowned. "Why are you asking about him? Did Draco tell you something ?"

Harry said smiling brightly, trying to cover the fact that he is hurt. "Draco just told me about him this morning, when we were talking about our past relationship, and I am just curious, he seemed really, you know.... Talking about that guy."

"Oh...Well, Draco and Theo had been dating for two months before your marriage..."

"Then why did he Marry me?" Harry asked frowning 

"Well, the Nott family is the rival of the Malfoys. And as much as I know, Nott is a playboy. So this was a shock, him getting in a relationship, with his rival. I never liked the guy, nor did Blaise. He talked to Draco to leave the relationship as soon as we learnt about it, but he won't listen. From then our friendship is not like before, but we still care for him you know, so We talked with Mione, and she being the smartass one, told us to let Lucius know. And we did it. "

"And that's why Lucius decided to get him married. soon?"

"Yes. He wanted him to leave Theo as soon as possible," Pansy sighed, then he took Harry's hands in his. "We should have told you about this soon. ,"

"You should have." Harry said.

"It's just everything seemed so normal between you two, I feared telling about it would ruin whatever relationship you two were building together." Pansy said in a sad voice.

"It's fine. Draco treats me well. I am fine now" Harry said with an assuring voice. Atleast my acting skills were good. Harry's mind supplied. 

"If you say so." Pansy trailed off. "But I need to talk to Draco."

"Don't!!" Harry said immediately.

"Huh? Why?"

"I mean. I don't want him to get uncomfortable thinking about his past. Because it must be hard for him to leave a relationship like this! So please don't talk to him about this. Let's close the matter here. "

Pansy nodded and decided to follow the boy's request.

"Forgive me darling"

Harry had almost fallen asleep on the couch waiting for Draco. Hearing the sudden voice and some moan he woke up. And found two men, one his husband and the other he guessed his boyfriend, making out in the middle of the living room.

Harry walked fast to his room.

From that day, Draco began to bring his boyfriend to his home every night. And spent the weekends at Theo's.

Harry would lay on his bed, listening to music, trying to block the scream and sounds of pleasure coming from his husband's room. And the thought of his 'married life' made him laugh now instead of bringing tears.  

_______________________

Harry! Harry! Harry! 

This is all Draco heard every day. This is getting annoying with each days. Besides the past one month, Theo and he were fighting all the time for stupid reasons.

So the name Harry made his blood boil more, as all his anger went for that boy. 

That asshole! Why is he still here? Haven't I proved my point about how much I hate his existence! Why can't he leave me alone!Oh Right, money! Draco thought. What a greedy bitch. He was even acting innocent, as if he didn't planned all these! How did Severus think, he's best for me? 

But he never tried to understand Harry's story. He just hated Harry. 

Since he had beed fighting with Theo, Draco started to bring the boy to his home every night. And he also wanted to make Harry uncomfortable.

Draco didn't care about Harry, he didn't acknowledge the boy. He was just waiting for the day, when he will be the official owner of the Malfoy Institute, maybe in two years. Then he could divorce his husband and start his life with Theodore. 

Draco always dreamt about Theo and his life together. He loved the boy. He never knew, how he had fallen for a boy like him so fast? And now six months of their relationship all he wanted was Theo.

Draco never had a good experience in dating. All the boyfriends he had in highschool dated him for his money. Some even had other partners and used Draco's money to buy gifts for them. 

But Theo was different, there was no chance he's going to use Draco for money, cause he was already rich. 

But now the fighting between them for lame reason was upsetting him. Theo would ignore him most of the time. But at night he would come to Draco only for having pleasure. Draco didn't like it. He is begger for affection. So he was upset and concentrating on work has become a great problem. 

But the fact is after getting together with Theo, he never gave his work any importance. Theo was the only thing he wanted. Theo is the only thing he thought about. 

"I need some fresh air. " 

Draco took the key of his car and left the office. He drove to the place where he and Theo used to meet. A beautiful place near the lake. 

Draco liked the silent atmosphere. 

He sat on the grass, listing to his favorite music while enjoying the view. 

It was almost time of sunset, and sky was scarlet. The air was full with the smell of wet soil. 

Suddenly something caught his eyes. A couple, near the tree where he and Theo used to sit together hand in hand. 

"That's... That's Theo! " He whisper shouted to himself.

Yes that was Theodore Nott, his boyfriend with a girl on his lap. The girl has wrapped herself around Theo and they were making out, and both of them were completely disconnected from thwir surrounding. 

"He is cheating .... " 

Every thing was clear to Draco now. The fights, Theo refusing to spend time with him, Draco wanted to leave immediately, But before that he wanted to talk to his boyfriend - ex boyfriend, he walked to the couple

As soon as, Theo noticed him, and his face turned to shock. 

"Draco- I- I can explain. " Theodor said. 

The blonde man looked at him with a emotionless face, waiting for a reply. 

"Well I like you, but, well, I am engaged to this girl. Father wanted me to marry her. So... " Theodore began to explain with a shaky voice- either he was breathless for making out or he was afraid. 

"Why are you lying Baby? " The girl said in a astonished voice, as she climbed down from Theo and both stood up. "We had been dating for five years...!! And now we're going to get married soon!"

Theo's face turned like stone. He looked at Draco.

Draco asked. "And what about ud? Our six months of dating? "

"Six months of dating? " The girl was shocked too, then suddenly her face became something unreadable. He looked at Theo cooly. "Theo, I told you not to listen to your father. You still went along with the plan? Why? "

"What plan? " Draco asked astonished. He also felt, embarassed. A owner of the most famous company, Draco Lucius Malfoy was standing like an idiot in front of this couple. 

"Theo tell him everything! I never thought, I never ever imagined you could go this low!" The woman said in a disgusted voice. 

"I- we-" Theo shuttered. But started when received a mean look from his girlfriend. "Father asked me to get together with you, so that I could know about you guys business tactics. And... "

"Stop. I don't need to know. every thing is clear to me. I should have known. I should have known before-before I let you come in my life. You fucking bastered."  Draco shouted. "You cheated not only on me but on that girl too. We had sex, almost every night, do you remember? "

Judging by the shocked look in the woman's face Draco could guess she wasn't aware. 

"I- I am sorry... " That's came out of his mouth, but no one knows to whom he said that exactly. 

Shooting a dark look at the young man Draco left, he was not even interested on what happens between the woman and Theo anymore. 

'I dreamt to have a future with him. I dreamt to marry him. I trusted him.' Draco had faith in his intelligence more than anything, he knew that no one could make fool of him. But now he felt stupid, he felt disgusted with himself for trusting his rival so blindly, with the same time there was a ache in his chest. Again he lost the chance for getting the true love. 

Draco went to the club, where he used go as a young adult. There sitting on an empty table he took shots after shots untill he lost all his consciousness.

*:..｡o○　○o｡..:*

"Harry are you awake? " 

The boy was sitting on a couch, he was drawing. The sudden voice surprised him. 

Blaise with a very drunk Draco  was entering the living room. 

Harry stood up and walked fast to them, to help Blaise to make Draco stand steady. 

"What happened to him? "

"I don't know Harry. I received a call from the club, where we used to go, saying, Draco is drunk. And I brought him home. He isn't saying a single word. " Blaise said. 

"Just leave Blaise! I want to stay alone. I don't need you. " Draco shouted. 

"But mate... "

"Blaise leave. I'll take care of him. I did the same to my uncle since I was seven." Harry assured. 

"You what? " Blaise asked shocked. 

"Er I didn't say anything ." Harry said quickly. 

"Can't I have my peace? " Draco shouted again. 

Blaise left sighing. Looking at Harry with a concern fill face. 

"Draco, you should go to your room... "

"No I won't." And as soon as Blaise left ,Draco broke down. He began to cry. 

This was something Harry never Faced. He was about to do something, when, Draco hugged him, and began to cry on his shoulder. 

Harry awkwardly patted his back. 

After half an hour Draco stopped crying but his face was still Buried in Harry's shoulder. 

Harry slowly made the blonde man stand up and brought him to his room. 

He laid Draco on the bed, and was about to leave. When a strong grip in his wrist stopped him. 

"Stay." Draco said softly. "I need to tell you every thing. I need you now. I need to talk to someone, please stay."

Harry smiled sadly. "You won't want me in the morning. "

"I'll... I'll want you always. Just stay. " Draco said in a pleading voice. 

Harry climbed on the bed and took his place beside Draco for the first time. 

And then Draco began to start talking about how he met Theo in a party, and then they fall in love, well Draco fall in love with him. 

After half an hour bubbling about his days with Theo, Draco fall asleep hugging Harry. 

"What a lucky guy I'm. Hearing about my husband's love life on the same bed. " Harry laughed.

When he noticed, Draco had fallen asleep he tried to leave the room and go to his. But the strong arms wrapped around his waist didn't let him go. 

Harry sighed, and decided to sleep there and think about the morning later. 

Next morning Draco woke up with a headache. He felt he was hugging someone. At first he thought that was Theo, then he remembered, they have broken up... And the figure was much smaller. 

He then noticed the boy. He had messy black hair, his back was facing him. 

He shooked the boy violently. The black hair man slowly opened his emarald eyes to look at Draco. 

"Can't leave the chance to sleep with me, huh? Leave! Now!"
