Divine Destiny

“Can’t you fucking deal with it? I mean shit Thomas, it’s not like it’s mothing fucking rocket science.” Draco screamed into the tiny black cellular phone as he stepped out of the elevator.

“Like hell! I leave half a fucking hour early and everything goes to-“

“You say bad words!” a small yet surprisingly harsh voice chastened. Draco looked down to see the young boy from next-door standing in front of him shaking his finger up and down.

“Look Thomas, figure it out. I gotta go.” Draco snapped his phone shut as he tried to control his overly sensitive temper.

“I’m sorry little guy, it just slipped out.” Draco smiled.

“Okay,” Caiden said and returned the smile, all offensives forgiven.

“Play with me.” Caiden reached out and grabbed Draco’s strong hand and started to pull him towards his apartment

“Caiden Alexander! I told you to never go outside with out me!” Harry’s severe voice met them at the open door.

Caiden looked stricken, his deep green eyes growing big as his mind worked in overdrive for an acceptable excuse to tell his obviously enraged father.

“He say bad words!” he blurted, pointing a finger at Draco.

Harry seemed to notice the other man’s presence for the first time and smiled.

“Hey Draco,” he said casually

“Hey,” Draco said, looking down at Caiden who still had his arm in the air.

“You little traitor.” he smirked

“I no tray…traytr,” Caiden struggled to say the word properly.

“Traitor.” Harry clarified, “now go to your room, you know better.”

“NO!” Caiden said defiantly, stomping his foot on the carpeted hallway.

Harry glared at his son, “now,” he said dangerously and Caiden busted out in tears before waddling into the apartment.

“I’m sorry you had to see that.” Harry ran his and through his hair, he hated it when his son cried.

“Don’t worry about it.” Draco started to walk to his own apartment but Harry’s voice interrupted him.

“Uh hey Draco, I’m kind of new to town and don’t really know a lot of people and well I really don’t get out much and it’s just a lot of stress not having any adult contact, ya know? But anyway like I said I don’t know a lot of people and yeah I was just-“

“Harry would you like to go to dinner Friday, maybe see a movie? I have a friend, Pansy, she loves kids and is really responsible, I’m sure she wouldn’t mind watching Caiden.”

Draco smirked at Harry’s obvious discomfort. Lucky for him, Harry had come straight to him, and after only two days! Damn, he was good.

“Yeah that would be great thanks.” Harry smiled in relief.

“Okay well I’ll send Pansy over at 7, that sound good?” Draco asked as he glanced at his door, he really needed to call Thomas back before the idiot ran his firm into the ground.

Harry frowned at Draco’s obvious distracted state but shrugged it off.

“Yeah, thanks. I’ll talk to you later.” He smiled before turning and walking into the apartment.

Draco just sighed before heading into his own.

“He’s got a fucking kid Blaise.”

“So? He’s hot as hell and has the ass of a Russian gymnast, that’s all you really need to know.” Blaise took a huge gulp of his wine, the only alcohol in Draco’s apartment since he refused to keep ‘that poison’ Blaise tried to pass off as beer.

“Take it easy there, buddy.” Draco patted Blaise on the back before walking into his legs, effectively knocking them off his coffee table.

“So who’s watching his brat? Cuz you know I could do it.”

Draco almost dropped his glass as he started howling with laughter.

“Riiight Blaise, the worst parents on the face of God’s green earth wouldn’t even let you look at their child. And don’t call him that.”

“Hey! I will someday make some lucky rugrat a magnificent father I will have you know and besides you’ve only known the kid two days, I can call him a brat if I want to.” Blaise pouted.

“Whatever, I’ve got to get some sleep. Go home.”

Draco placed his glass in the sink before making his way to his bedroom.

“What the hell,” Draco mumbled as he rolled over, the plush comforter getting tangled around his legs.

There was a loud pounding sound coming from his front door.

“Damnit Blaise, I’m going to kick your ass.”

He tumbled out of bed, stumped his toe on the corner of the wall and knocked his elbow into the doorknob before Draco finally made it to the front door.

“Blaise, I swear I going-“

“Hi,”

“Harry?” Draco rubbed his eyes, positive he was dreaming.

“I’m so sorry, I know it’s late but Caiden is really sick and I need to go get him some medicine and I was hoping you could sit with him while I’m gone. If it’s too much trouble, I guess I could just take him.”

“Uh no, Harry it’s fine. Let me just grab my robe.”

Harry became aware that Draco was shirtless, wearing only a pair of black silk boxer that were slung low on his hips showing a thin line of fine blonde hair. He gulped as he nodded, trying to avoid looking at the blonde man.

“Thanks so much for this, Draco.” Harry said as he closed the door to his apartment.

Draco sighed as he rubbed at his tired eyes. He was going to be dead at work tomorrow.

“Your daddy better be one hot fuck.” Draco whispered inaudibly as he stared at the sleeping toddler.

“You really are gorgeous though. You’re going to be a real heartbreaker in twenty years.”

Caiden rolled over and stuck his thumb in his mouth, his cheeks going in slightly as he sucked on the appendage.

Draco approached him slowly, leaning over the crib and pushing the sweaty blonde locks out of this face.

His eyes fluttered softly before popping open.

“Daddy!” the small voice cried, “want daddy!”

“Hey, hey little man don’t cry. Your daddy will be back soon, okay?”

“Daddy?” Caiden said pitifully, his mouth forming the most adorable, irresistible pout Draco had ever seen.

“Up!” Caiden held his arms up to Draco, “up!” he repeated, waving his arms slightly when Draco didn’t apply.

“Okay, okay.” Draco said, reaching down and picking the small body up. Caiden instantly clung to him, burring his head into Draco’s chest and attempting to wrap his arms around his neck but not quite making it.

Draco walked back to the couch and sat down, cradling Caiden to himself.


“Well isn’t that a cute site.” Harry whispered, shutting the down quietly.

“Sorry about waking him.” Draco whispered back, standing up and holding Caiden out to Harry.

“Don’t worry about, he’s back asleep now.”

Harry walked over to the crib and gently placed Caiden down. He picked up a small green dragon and moved it under Caiden’s arm. The small boy instantly curled his arm, pulling the stuffed animal towards him.

“Thank you so much, I have no idea how I’m going to repay you for this.” Harry smiled at Draco.

‘I have a few ideas that involve you, me, a bed and some whipped cream’ Draco though but instead just smiled and said “It was no problem really, don’t worry about it.”

“Well thanks again, I’ll see you Friday?”

“Friday it is.” Draco confirmed before showing himself out of the apartment.
