—————————————————
It doesn’t matter that Harry is kind, and brave, and intelligent. It doesn’t matter, because he’d never think of you the way you think of him. You’re cruel, and weak, and broken.
But reminding yourself of that doesn’t stop your heart from pounding as he turns away from the stove to look at you. To smile.
You smile back helplessly. His eyes are bright behind his glasses, curls falling into his face. He’s more beautiful than you could ever put into words.
Harry turns back to the stove, stirring the soup with unending patience. Soup that he’s making for you. Because you’re sick, and he invited himself over, and now he’s cooking in your kitchen like it’s his. You can’t hold back your heavy sigh.
He turns again, hearing it. Harry’s brow furrows as he walks over to you and takes a seat.
“What’s wrong? You’ve been distant all day.”
Of course he noticed; he’s the most attentive friend you’ve ever had. Friend. You’re happy with friendship. Friendship is more than enough.
But he stares at you with those eyes and you can’t help but be honest. “I don’t deserve you,” you say.
Harry frowns, but his voice is soft as he replies. “I thought we’d moved past that.”
“I’m sorry, I-”
“You deserve the world, Draco.” He takes your hands with his own. “Don’t you know how much I care about you?”
“I- care about you too,” you choke out.
Harry lets go, moving his hands to cup your jawline. His touch is soft, almost nonexistent. You can’t breathe.
“Stop me if you don’t want this.” He leans forward. You don’t stop him.
Neither of you notice when the soup bubbles over.
