You are not very subtle.
Draco
The timer went off and Draco looked up from a boiling cauldron. The blond quickly placed a charm to keep the potion from spoiling. It was almost time for family dinner. This was the first family dinner since Nash was born. That is the only reason that he is going to this family dinner. Not that he didn’t want to see everyone, he just didn’t want to see Justin. He knew that the mind healer would be there today because of it being such a big family dinner.
Draco made sure that he didn’t see Justin the rest of that day. He didn’t lie to him, but he omitted by not telling him he was a mind healer. Then with the whole talk about first dates, and then marriage. The man was mad. Even though Draco may or may not have dreams about all of those things with that man with curly hair, perfect lips, and those dimples. Draco stomped to his bathroom to get ready. He would not think about that man anymore. It would just lead to heartbreak. Draco knew he was going to spend his life alone, but at least he has his family, his potions, and his art.
Draco raised his eyebrow as he held out his hands for his nephew. It was the first family dinner after Nash was born and it was finally his turn. Harry laid the bundle into his arms and Draco sighed. Nash had a head full of black hair and his skin was like porcelain. He was definitely Severus Snape's child.
Draco let the world around him dissolve as he slowly swayed back and forth. He loved the new baby smell. Silas and Topher were so much fun, but it was so nice to get the cuddles from Nash. A hand touched his shoulder, and it pulled him out of baby land. He glared up at who dared take him out of his happiness. Oh, those damn dimples.
*Hi! We haven’t been able to chat since this little one was born. I tried to talk to you the other day at therapy, but someone took my usual spot. But since your hands are full, what better time to talk to you?* Justin smirked at him. Draco wanted to walk away, but he didn’t want to give up his time with Nash.
He rolled his eyes, but Justin didn’t let that stop him.
*I know how I asked you out wasn’t the best way to ask. In the hospital waiting for a baby to be born. I should have waited for a better time, like right now. You are in a good mood because you are cuddling with a baby. That gives me better odds of you saying yes.* The blond shook his head and rolled his eyes. Why would he go out with Justin and why would Justin want to go out with him?
*You’re right, it’s not right for me to ask when you are baby drunk. I’ll ask you later. I just want to let you know you look gorgeous today. I think this is the first time I've seen a genuine smile from you. It looks good on you Draco.* Justin lingered for a few moments before he walked.
Draco watched him. The guy was persistent. Justin was talking to Anthony. It was like he knew he was looking at him because he looked at Draco and smiled. He felt his cheeks burn as he looked down at Nash, who was now awake. His heart was full when those deep newborn blue eyes looked up at him.
Draco’s time with Nash wasn’t long enough. Soon it was Justin’s turn. Draco would not admit that he looked absolutely perfect with a baby in his arms.
*He is pretty cute huh?* Harry asked when he sat down next to him. Draco’s heart pounded in his chest. Why would Harry say anything about how Justin looks? Did he know? *Nash and Winnie are going to be best friends like Silas and Topher.*
Draco chuckled silently. Of course, he was talking about Nash. *Yes, Nash is perfect.*
*Justin isn’t too bad looking either. I see the way he looks at you.* Harry bounced his eyebrows up and down. *Do you think maybe…..*
Draco shook his head and signed quickly. *No! He is a mind healer. He just thinks of someone to fix. So no.* Harry laughed and patted his knee. Draco glared at him.
*If you say so Draco. Come on, I’ll steal Winnie from her Papa and you can have a turn.* Harry didn’t play fair. Draco sighed and followed the chipper man. He looked back again at Justin, who didn’t see him this time. Though he was caught by Harry. Who said nothing, but he smirked at him.
Justin
“You are not very subtle.” Anthony laughed when Draco looked at him again.
“I am not trying to be subtle. I want him to know that I like him.” Justin shrugged as he bounced Nash. When he first ‘adopted’ into this family, he thought it was too good to be true, but they loved hard and fast.
“I haven’t known you that long, but you don’t seem like that guy. Actually, I don’t think I ever heard you talk about dating before.” Anthony shoved his hands into his pockets. Anthony was a romantic, with a wanting to be the knight in shining armor.
“I’ve never known someone like Draco. He is beautiful and smart, and you can tell he is a loving soul. You should see him when he paints Anthony. That is when you can see his true beauty.” Justin sighed as his eyes searched for Draco, who was now holding Winnie.
“Mate, you have it bad. Let's hope that he will give you a chance. It looks like he has been hurt before.” Justin noticed the scars the first time he met him. He wouldn’t lie and say that he hadn’t thought about how he got them. Draco will tell him when he is ready if he is ever ready. The blond wasn’t his patient, and he wouldn’t treat him as one either.
“What are you guys talking about?” Justin jumped when he heard Harry’s voice behind him. The raven-haired man laughed and took Nash from him. “It wouldn’t be about the cute blond holding my daughter?”
“The Healer has it bad, Har.”Anthony nudged Justin, who playfully glared at him.
“Of course he does. It’s obvious except for Draco. I was just coming to take back my Nashy before Pops gets a hold of him and no one else will get him for the rest of the night. Justin, just talk to him, okay?” Harry walked away. He didn't make it to the couch until Barnaby pounced and took the baby.
“You know, when I first met Harry, I was like there was no one as happy as him, and then I met Barnaby. If only my parents loved me as Barnaby and Hagrid do.” Justin squeezed his arm.
“I know how that feels. It's just me and my brother. After everything that happened with him, I don’t speak to my parents.” Justin stopped himself. He didn’t like to talk about where his brother was. He knew he was where he needed to be right now, but most people didn’t understand. His brother could never leave the facility, but he knew he would be safe there.
*Okay family! It’s time to eat! Make sure your hands are clean before you come to my table!* Barnaby announced as he signed.
“I need to learn more signs if Draco is a part of the family now. I want to communicate with him. Will you help?” Anthony asked, and Justin nodded.
“Of course. Now if you don’t mind, I need to hurry to get the seat next to Draco.” Justin made his way to the kitchen, but it was too late. Draco was in between Silas and Topher. Anthony laughed as he took one of the last open seats. Justin sighed and sat down next to Charlie, who gave him a puzzled look.
“I don’t smell today. Harry and I had a long shower.” Charlie teased, and Justin rolled his eyes.
“I did not need to know that.” Charlie laughed and Draco’s head snapped over to them, his pale cheeks blushed when their eyes met. Justin winked at him again and Draco’s mask slipped back into place as he looked back over to Topher, who was rambling about a dragon.
