Oversized Hoodie
It wasn't fair.
Harry had no defense. There was nothing he could do to stop the inevitable tide of emotions rising in his chest and stomach.
The urge to squish, and touch, and hold was too overwhelming for him to do anything other than stare.
Draco Malfoy was already more adorable than Harry could stand most days and the sight of him curled up on the end of the couch in the 8th year common room, dozing in an oversized hoodie that almost reached his knees was just too much.
The books in his arms clattered to the floor and Draco's head snapped up, "I'm awake!" he blurted, "Potions exam!" Then he blinked blearily up at Harry, "What?" he asked dazedly.
"Sorry," Harry said, licking his lips. Then instead of making up a lie, his mouth overrode his brain and he blurted, "You just look so cute.”
"I-"
"Sorry," he blurted, clapping a hand over his mouth.
Draco smiled, slow and soft, “say you’re not a dream.”
He huffed a laugh, “if I was a dream, I think that I’d be a little less of a mess,” he said, gesturing to his school supplies scattered across the floor.
“Oh, I don’t know. You’re usually a bit of a mess in my dreams,” he replied. “It’s rather adorable, if I’m being honest.”
Harry laughed and shook his head, “what else am I like in your dreams?”
He tilted his head in a way that vaguely reminded Harry of Luna in an endearing sort of way. “Usually flirting with me badly and teasing me, but in a charming way.”
“Are you sure you’re not confusing your dreams with real life?” Harry asked, scratching the back of his neck.
Draco laughed, a soft, little giggle. “You don’t flirt with me.”
“Not well, anyway,” Harry grumbled.
“Do you know what you don’t ever actually do in my dreams?” he asked, looking up at Harry under his eyelashes.
“What?”
“You never kiss me,” he said. “Sometimes you come close but,” he shrugged, “I always wake up.”
“Do you want me to kiss you?” he asked, heart thundering like mad in his chest.
Draco nodded, eyes drifting shut.
He took a deep breath and stepped closer, leaning down and touching his lips to Draco’s, just a soft press that left his body reeling.
Gasping, Draco reached up and cupped Harry’s cheeks, fingers still swallowed up by the sweatshirt and pressed their lips together again. “You’re still here,” Draco murmured against his lips.
Harry nodded, mouth brushing over Draco’s, noses bumping softly together. “Told you I was real.” He opened his eyes to find Draco already looking at him, blinking like he couldn't quite believe what had just happened.
"Well," he said. "If that's the case, and if you want to, why don't you come sit on the sofa with me and kiss me some more."
He laughed, breathless and a little disbelieving as he crawled onto the sofa next to Draco and kissed him again, lips trailing over the other boy's softly as they explored each other's mouths, their hands lighting on one another's shoulders, waists, necks, and cheeks.
They kissed until the door to the common room banged open and a group of students came crashing in. There was a long pause where it felt like all of the sound had been sucked out of the room. Draco looked at Harry and Harry looked at Draco, and they could feel the weight of everyone else's eyes on them.
And then all of the noise rushed in and the students who'd been entering began cheering and shouting, and Harry watched, completely besotted, as Draco's cheeks flushed crimson and he smiled bashfully at Harry and the other students.
"I like you," Harry whispered when all of the noise died down and the other students started to head off to their dorms, gently teasing the two of them.
Draco grinned, "I like you too," he said before he started yawning.
After a long moment of staring at a very sleepy looking Draco he spoke again. "You should go to bed," Harry said, bumping their noses together.
"Come see me in the morning?" he asked softly.
Harry nodded, "Yeah. Of course."
"I'll probably think it was a dream," Draco said as he moved back so he could stand without bumping Harry over.
He laughed, "It's not, I promise," he said, standing too and taking Draco's hand in his, pressing a kiss to his knuckles. "Can I walk you to your room."
"What a gentleman," Draco teased, but he was grinning widely at Harry, looking as besotted as Harry felt.
He walked him up the staircase and stopped outside of Draco's door, "Sweet dreams."
Draco leaned in and kissed his cheek, "they're always sweet when they're of you."
