"What are you talking about? You thought I went all this way to humiliate you? You thought I held your hand and kissed your cheek just to ridicule you? Seriously Malfoy, you're such an idiot, I can't even…" Harry shouted angrily.
"Yes, well," Draco screamed back, his eyes blazing. "What else was I supposed to think when you wouldn't even tell your best friends about me? You kept hiding me like I was just a dirty fuck, nothing more! And once they accidentally found out, you kicked me out. I hope you had a good laugh, you arsehole!"
Harry paused, looking at the ground, biting his lip. "I'm sorry. Now that you said that, I know what it must have looked like but you have to trust me I never meant to hurt you! And you are right… I didn't want anyone to find out about us… and I didn't really mean to kick you out. I just wanted to explain everything to Ron and Hermione without hurting you in the process."
"You are right about another thing too," Draco whispered quietly. All the fight had gone out of him. All of a sudden, he looked vulnerable, broken. "I guess I am an idiot, if I hoped even for a minute you could genuinely like me."
"Oh, Draco," Harry reached out a hand to wipe the tears that slid out of Draco's beautiful, sad eyes. He grabbed his jaw gently and lifted his face. "You're an idiot for thinking even for a second that I don't like you. Hell, I'm head over heels in love with you!"
Harry watched Draco's whole face light up with a mixture of disbelief and hope.
"Come here," Harry pulled Draco close, sliding one arm around his narrow waist, resting the other hand on the nape of Draco's neck. "I'm the idiot here! I never meant to hurt you, I'm so so sorry. I just wanted to have you all to myself. I didn't want to share you with anyone. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I didn't want to lose you. It was stupid."
Draco pulled back slightly, his eyes searching Harry's face for something. He apparently found what he was looking for because he kissed Harry gently on the lips. It was but a soft touch, there and gone in an instant, but it warmed Harry's heart more than anything.
"I take it you're not mad at me anymore?" Harry grinned.
"Oh, I'm mad, Potter," Draco scowled at him but it didn't reach his eyes, which were crinkling with happiness. "But your punishment can wait for now."
Draco pulled him into another kiss, this one considerably more heated than the previous one.
