That night Harry cuddled a distinctly less flirtatious and lighthearted Draco.

“I will miss her,” Draco said, repeatedly running his fingers over Harry’s forearm; soothed by the rhythm, or perhaps the texture. “Which includes worrying.”

Harry nodded, unwilling to interject.

“I’m feeling… every emotion, all at once. Like they attacked.”

Harry waited.

“An epidemic of emotion,” Draco said. He snorted.

Harry waited.

“You asked before, if I worry because she’s female. But... I think it’s just… worrying.”

Draco hid his face in Harry’s bare chest.

“Don’t be embarrassed to love your mother,” Harry finally whispered.

Draco chuckled out one sob.

“Sometimes I wonder what the hell I did to deserve you,” Draco whispered after they’d turned off the lights and said their goodnights.

Harry sputtered out a syllable, but Draco silenced him gently, one finger to the lips.

“I suppose it isn’t rational, but… earlier, when you declared me the perfect boyfriend… you know that is actually you, do you not?”

Harry shook his head ‘no.’ Draco’s eyes had adjusted enough to see the confusion and… was that a little dismay on Harry’s face? Draco kissed him once, petted his hair. “I can’t believe how… easy-going you are,” Draco explained.

“How many men would just… adopt my mother? And spend days, postponing paid work, to connect our homes. You are not even certain it will work. Not to mention setting aside my Hogwarts... stupidity.

“You countenance me when I’m snappish. When I’m silent. When I am drowning in work, and conversely, when I’ve none and am positive bankruptcy is imminent. I suspect if there were… an epidemic, and I had to brew cures for weeks on end, you’d even accept that.”

“Can I respond yet?” Harry said, gentle amusement clear in his voice.

“I suppose,” Draco said, embarrassed and nervous.

Silly Draco!

[twisted_miracle]

This poor man. He's been smacked down so many times since the war. He's proved to himself that he's a good businessman, a good son, a good all sorts of things. But you can't be a good boyfriend if no one will date you! So he's still very insecure about this part of himself. Harry is the first person who's been willing to date him in years.

And now Harry will once again prove that he is the perfect man for Draco :) the poor guy needs a lot of love before he can believe himself worthy.

Draco has a lot of past to overcome, poor guy.
