Here they were, on the nightstand, taunting him. Harry’s round, basic, black glasses.
When they started dating, Draco accepted his boyfriend as he was. He may not like them, but as Harry grew up, so did his style. He stubbornly kept wearing jeans, sneakers and leather jackets, but they were of a good quality, and fitted him perfectly. Two could play the stubborn game, and Draco will never let him wear nothing but the best.
Somehow, even after he got rid of the clothes he got from his horrible relatives, the glasses stuck with him. After countless variations of I got so used to it and giving them up would feel weird , Draco finally was given an explanation.
One night, as they were lying down in their bed, and feeling safe in Draco's arms, Harry whispered the real reason why he couldn't simply get a new pair.
- They belonged to my mum, he explained. She actually got them when she was a bit older than me. The Dursleys obviously didn't bother getting me something new, but they ended up giving me the thing I cherish the most to this day. It was such a comfort, back then, to know she saw the world through them. Everyday I asked myself if she did see what I had just seen myself, what she thought of it.
Unable to reply, Draco simply hugged him tighter, and, for three months, gave up every plan to get Harry to change his glasses. Until…
My love,
Do you remember the night when you told me the real reason why your glasses were so important to you ? I promised myself then to not bring it up again.
I kept my word, until my Slytherin mind came up with a loophole. I ordered a more stylish replica of your glasses. I think it’s obvious, but I helped out with the design. They're so dashing, I'm almost jealous I don't need them myself.
Being a great boyfriend, sorry, fiancé, myself, I made sure the proper spellworks were added. Rain, sunshine, mist, they're charmed to repel it all off.
I'll stop by your favorite Chinese restaurant for some takeout, but I'll be home and in your arms in a heartbeat.
(Soon to be) Draco Lucius Potter-Malfoy
PS : I know what I said about becoming Potter-Malfoy instead of Malfoy-Potter, but seeing it written down, I think the opportunity to piss off Father one more time is too good to pass, what do you think ?
