wip snip
most of my writing energy (there is very little!) has been directed towards my wireless project, but blue’s breathtaking art reminded me that I want to write a Teddy/Draco follow-up to Surface Texture (Harry/Teddy, with background Draco/Harry), so here’s the first few paragraphs. cw: for implied Harry/Teddy & not (yet) explicit Teddy/Draco
Gooseflesh. I know he’s here in a second because I can feel his eyes on me as desperately as though he’s run his fingers over my arm. I’m trying to listen to the woman next to me — she’s got diamonds on two fingers and would certainly buy the lot — but all I want is to turn and drag him into the alley behind the gallery.
She says something about Muggle photography and I nod, gulping down the rush of heat at my throat. She gestures wildly to the painting between us — Vic in Evening Light — saying something about Mapplethorpe and I’m sure it’s worth listening to, but all I can think is: Can she hear my heart racing?
There’s breath at the back of my neck. Oh fuck. He’s close. She hasn’t reacted yet, tittering on, rings flashing, her voice too pitchy to make any sense of the words. Focus. I nod again, certain I look like a fool.
I feel it again, the barely there brush of someone behind me. The gallery’s almost crowded enough to justify this closeness, but I know this is no stranger from the way my body has already begun to call to him. Touch me, my hips beg, desperate to lean into him, to let him steal me away from this patron and the noise of the crowd. I am hardly in control of my own limbs, let alone my mind, as it aches for this man.
It’s only been a second, not long enough for my conversation partner to notice my distraction or the flush burning its way up my neck, but then it hits me. Whoever this is is taller than I am, by at least a few inches, and Harry– Harry’s my height. We stand eye-to-eye when I face him, when I ask Harry to give me everything I want.
This isn’t Harry.
I turn.
Draco.
Omg I almost fell over I sat up so fast when I saw this! Do you know how badly I want this sequel?? Do you know how breathlessly brilliant this snippet is?? Jesus.
