Work Text:
Baby love, I think I've been a little too kind
Didn't notice you walking all over my peace of mind
In the shoes I gave you as a present
Puttin' someone first only works when you're in their top five
And by the way, I'm going out tonight
“Draco! I can’t keep doing this!” Harry stormed into their bedroom. The blonde followed him, the anger crackling around them. “Harry! You can’t just throw away 5 years like nothing!” Harry sat on the bed rubbing his eyes, they burned but with how much they fought the tears stopped months ago.
“Draco, I do EVERYTHING for you while you sit around doing NOTHING. I buy you all you want and you can’t even clean or make dinner.” “I’m not a house elf Potter!”
“Back to Potter so quickly Malfoy? We don’t fit. We fight and then I give in and apologize! That’s not a relationship, I do everything to keep this up. I give up. I grew up. I’m not that same man you met after the war. I want more. I want a partner, not an overgrown child!”
Draco’s icy grey eyes burned onto Harry’s face. “So that’s it? No chances?” Harry looked up then his emerald eyes shiny wildly, “I gave you chances! Every time we fight I hope you’ll change and you still don’t!” Draco stood there stunned.
“I want you out of my house when I get back Draco.” Draco started the crocodile tears like he always did, “I have no where to go! Where are you going!?”
“Out.” Then Harry apparated with a loud crack.
Best believe I'm still bejeweled when I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
And when I meet the band, they ask, "Do you have a man?"
I can still say, "I don't remember"
Harry walked into Wings, the only gay Wizarding club nearby. He was fuming and knew the others felt the anger. Everyone turned when he walked in and stared. Great. Just what he needed another article on The Man Who Lived Twice.
Harry was at the bar waiting for his 10 shots of firewhiskey when he felt a familiar presence stand beside him. He didn’t even have to look up, he knew this magic as well as his own. “Severus”
“Merlin Potter, what’s wrong? Everyone felt your magic crackling as soon as you came in.” Harry snorted and downed 3 shots as the bartender bought them over. Severus looked at him warily.
“That overgrown child you call a god son.” Severus snorted and sat down beside Harry. “Same old?” Harry quickly downed the other 7 shots and looked up at Severus. He saw the man a few times a month, either just out in public or they’d plan to meet up. Severus had been a huge help in his issues with Draco.
If only Severus knew the deeper feelings. Somewhere over the passed 5 years of meetings he fell in love with his snarky ex Professor. The man gave him a feeling he hadn’t even felt with Draco. Severus’s eyes narrowed as he drunk Harry in.
Sapphire tears on my face, sadness became my whole sky
But some guy said my aura's moonstone just 'cause he was high
I went dancin' all night and you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
Harry and Severus stumbled out the back door, both clearly intoxicated beyond their limits. Severus took out his familiar green joint box and lit up. Harry watched him close his eyes as he inhaled and then blow the smoke out. The way his lips pursed as he exhaled made Harry’s whole body shiver.
Severus handed him the joint and then led him down the road. Harry had been against smoking at first. He didn’t like how it felt, until his first fight with Draco.
Draco had run off to Severus’s and Harry being how he was then ran after him. He floo’d into Severus’s house and they were both sitting on the couch passing a bong.
Harry had sat down next to Severus on the couch and when they passed it to him he took his first bong hit. Severus chuckled as he coughed but he felt so calm and relaxed. That night was one of the best orgasms he’d ever had with Draco. After that, each time they fought Harry would seek out Severus for a hit or two.
As they walked down the street passing the joint back and forth, Severus stopped under a streetlight and looked at Harry. “Why do you still put up with him?” Harry snubbed the joint and handed it to Severus not wanting to litter. Severus smirked at the sweet man. “I thought I loved him. I ended it earlier, he’s supposed to be gone when I get back.”
They couldn’t tell if it was the high or if it was the feelings bumbling over time, but both leaned in and kissed softly. Harry gasped and pulled back, “Severus?” “Your aura feels like moonstone Potter.” Harry smiled and grabbed his arm softly.
“Yours or mine?” Severus regarded him for a minute before they apparated with a loud crack in the silent street.
And we're dancin' all night
And you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What's a man gonna do? What's a man gonna do?
I polish up nice
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
They appeared in Harry’s living room. The whole place was cleaned of Draco’s belongings. Severus looked around and pulled Harry to the bedroom. New sheets lay on the bed he hadn’t seen before and a note was laying in the middle. Harry grabbed it real quick to read it over.
Harry,
You deserve way better than me. To answer your question you never asked; yes I have been cheating. I’m going to be with him. You did nothing wrong, I was more enamored with The Man Who Lived than you as a person. I really hope Severus can make you as happy as you deserve. I’ve always known, it’s why I tried harder and harder to break us up. Goodbye.
Draco
Severus snorted besides him. Harry looked up into his Obsidian eyes and smirked. “Guess you both knew?” Severus smiled at Harry and his breath caught. “Yes, we both knew.”
Harry grabbed Severus’s hand and dragged him onto the bed smirking, “Let’s go to bed Sev”
“Of course my Emerald”
