Draco hummed in happiness. 

 

He was draped across a luxurious blue couch, head propped up in Harry's lap, his partner's hands running meticulously through his platinum locks.

 

They had both gotten a shower together an hour before, and were now dressed in silk nightclothes that he and Harry had bought the day before.

 

Draco closed his eyes, a blissful expression on his face.

 

"I love you." Harry whispered in Draco's ear, placing a kiss on his cheek.

 

"Mmm... I love you too..." Draco whispered back.

 

"Hey.. Dray?" Harry murmured.

 

"Yeah?" Draco opened his eyes again, looking into his beloved's eyes lovingly.

 

"I'm gonna protect you." Harry promised. "I'm never gonna let anyone harm you, ever again. Your 'dad'  will never even come close to you."

 

"...Really?"

 

"Yeah. I'll always love you, okay? Never forget that I'm here."

 

"T-thanks." Draco sniffled. He hadn't realized he was crying. 

 

"No one deserves the pain you've been through. Everyone who's wronged you will pay, I'll make sure." At that Harry cracked a menacing grin.

 

Draco gave a watery chuckle, smiling back. 

 

"I don't doubt it." 

 

"Go to sleep, love. Maybe we'll see each other in our dreams."

 

"Mhm.." Draco replied, already nodding off.

 

Harry traced a finger across Draco's cheek, flicking away a stray teardrop, before leaning back and closing his eyes as well.

 

"G'night, darling." Harry murmured.
