Draco sat silent. His last notes dissipated into the cavernous room.
“Beautiful,” Harry whispered.
Draco smiled down at his hands. “Thank you,” he said.
Harry moved to stand behind Draco, still sitting at the enormous, elderly piano. “I’m so sorry,” he said, putting his hands on Draco’s strong shoulders. He felt Draco relax under his touch. “I know you’re scared. I need to respect that.”
“The press… is no longer my friend. If it ever was,” Draco paused, but he didn’t seem finished, so Harry waited. Draco reached up and put one hand on Harry’s. “But you’re worth this risk.”

Harry’s breath stuttered. He dipped his head and gave himself a moment. “It means a lot,” he finally managed, “to hear that.”
Draco turned on the piano bench and reached for Harry, who sat next to him. They put their arms around one another and sat, silent and comfortable, just loving one another, comforting one another.
“I have been scared,” Draco admitted. “I suppose I still am, despite… well… so many things. But I had a very long, helpful conversation with Mother the other week, and I came to understand something. I realized something. Something I need to tell you.”

Harry shuffled back so they could look one another in the eye. He appeared slightly nervous, so Draco put one hand on his cheek, and kissed him as tenderly as he knew how.
“I’ve never felt this way before,” Draco started. “About anyone: girl, boy, man or woman. But seeing you, it brings me joy. Touching you, it fills me with excitement. Knowing you will arrive soon, it fills me with… butterflies.
“I love you,” Draco finally told Harry. “I’m in love with you.”
Harry sobbed, just once, and clung to Draco. “We’re going to make this work,” he promised.
