The game and love

9

They were still dancing, unaware that the dance inside was over, and it wasn't until Harry heard a girl giggle that he came back to reality. "Umm, their looking at us." Harry whispered, feeling the blood rush to his face. He hid his face in Draco's shoulder, uttering a groan. "Let them look, it doesn't matter to me." Harry was still hiding. This made Draco chuckle. "What, can't bear to be seen with me?" Harry mumbled something into Draco's shoulder, casuing him to laugh. "Well, we better go, before the talbloids show up." Draco was suprised by his own reaction, it had been purely instinctual, no thought involed of what the risks were and he was glad. He had nearly lost Harry and that would be worse than any public scrutiny could ever be.

Ron and Hermione showed up a few minutes later and the two boys finally broke apart. "That was some stunt, the whole school is talking about it Draco." Ron scodled. Draco shrugged, "So what?" He said, irritated at Ron's tone. "Well, I guess you are a fag, so rumors would be fact in your case." Ron snickered. "Someone might need another punch in the face." Harry taunted from the frint of the car. "Hey, no way, I was just kidding anyway, geez." Ron defended. "Eh, I should just do it anyway." Draco grinned. Ron looked for a quick exit to anywhere but here. "Relax big guy." Draco chuckled and looked at Hermione. "So are we on for the weekend at Ron's cabin?" She nodded and Ron gave a nod as well. "Good, We'll meet you up there in a few hours then." After goodbyes were exchanged, the two couples went their seperate ways and prepared for a nice relaxing weekend.

Harry was happy, he'd gotten his dance and an unexpected ending. He was with Draco, he need not question his love again, he'd proved how much he cared for Harry. Draco was thinking many thoughts now that the high of romance was out of him. Had his teamates seen him, was he in jeapordy? And would this be the time to talk to his father? He thought of his dad often, but they weren't fond thoughts. His father had pushed him to the brink of suicide twice, and still, his dad had only pushed him. He knew that his love for Harry was slighty stronger than football, and he wanted to ran that down his dad's throat. He continued these angry thoughts until a hand gripped his hand and softly massaged the palm.

It calmed him to have that. Someone who cared for him in a deep way, more than just because he was some jock star. He had never felt honest love until the night of the loss, when Harry had taken care of him. Draco had always imagined he'd live life never knowing true friendship or love, because his talents were in the way. He knew he loved Harry, there was no question about that.

Harry fell asleep on the way up to Ron's cabin. Draco figured he had to carry him in because he refused to wake up. He went up and Knocked on the door, came back, collected Harry in his arms and carried him inside. "He won't wake up." Draco chuckled, "Did you guys fill up the tub with ice cubes, this might be an emergency." With that said, Harry's eyes snapped open and Draco set him down. "Aha, so you were faking!" Draco laughed picking Harry up and slinging him over his shoulder. His hand tightly clamped around one of Harry's bottom cheeks, causing Harry to squeal, this made everyone laugh. "Stop it!" Harry breathed in mock desperation, apparent by the huge smile on his face.

"I better take him upstairs guys. Gotta check him over." Draco grinned as Harry's effort to escape increased, as well as his squeals of torture. "No, put me down Draco." He pleaded as they began to climb the stairs. "Nope, I gotta teach you a lesson." Draco said in a stern adult voice. "Draco!" Harry tried a bit more to escape and then gave up. They entered the bedroom and Draco tossed Harry on the bed. Harry had a playful grin on his face, which miriored Draco's expression. Draco quickly pinned him down by sitting on his lap and pinning his wrists to the bed. Harry's smile widened. "What are you gonna do?" Draco grinned evily. "Well, what I do to all bad boys." And with that, he clamped his lips aroind the left side of Harry's neck. Harry giggled, but the giggles quickly turned to moans, as Draco began to suck on his neck.

The sucking got harder as Harry's moans got louder. Draco liked this, he was a virgin as far as guys went, the girls he had had sex with had always been the ones to innitiate the activity, and he usually let them run the show, because he hated it. If he had any doubts they were gone now. Harry's moans started to soften and Draco pulled off of his hickey making and looked Harry deep in the eyes. "So, now will you be good?" Harry grinned. "Nope." He said, smile wide eyes filled with passion. "Nope, I won't ever be good." Draco imeadiately attacked the otherside of Harry's neck with the same actions as before, and Harry was in ecstasy, he was a virgin period. This was his first time and he was lost in it.

"Ok, Ok wait." Harry said panting. Draco stopped imeadiately, afraid he'd done something wrong. He looked at Harry's expression and was relieved to see a smile there. Harry didn't know how to talk about this, he was nervous, it's what he wanted, but he wasn;t sure what that meant yet. "Are you a virgin?" He asked Draco innocently. "With guys, yeah." He admitted, a bit ashamed. Harry thought for a moment, his nerves making him sweat. "I am a total virgin." Harry admitted shyly. "I'm kind of scared, I don't think I am ready." Draco laid a soft kiss on his boyfriend's lips.

"We don't have to do anything you don't want to, ok?" Harry nodded and Draco kissed his lips again and brushed Harry's bangs back out of his eyes. "I'm just not ready, I'm sorry." Draco hushed him with two fingers to Harry's lips and a soft smile, "Don't worry about it, it's ok. I only want what you can give." Draco moved off to the side of Harry and snuggled closer to him. They were enjoying the quiet when a knock came at the door and Hermione burst in, before either boy could respond. "We heard you downstairs, we thought you might need these." She tossed a box of condoms on the bed. Harry blushed and hid his face in Draco's chest. "Thanks." Draco said half annoyed. Hermione got the hint and left quickly closing the door behind her.

"I can't believe they heard us, that's so embarassing." Harry groaned into Draco's chest. Draco laughed lighty. "That's nothing, Remember? The whole school saw us dancing on the parking lot." Harry let out an even longer groan and Draco thought he felt Harry blush. "Why did you have to remind me? Now the whole school will be all over us." Draco turned slighty serious. "Don't worry, it will work out." He said reassuringly as he rubbed Harry's back. Soon, in the calm, they were both off to sleep.

When Draco awoke in the morning, he smeeled smoke, which would have worried him, except Ron was yelling about some kind of food. 'The boy can't cook to save his life.' He laughed to himself. He nudged Harry, who stirred a bit. Draco smiled. "Harry, we should get up, Ron and Hermione are burning down the cabin." Harry shifted and attempted to go back to sleep. "Do you need another hickey?" He asked playfuly. "Yes please, I would like one." Harry was smiling now. Draco smiled and then gave Harry a soft kiss on his forehead.

When Harry finally got up, they both got dressed quickily in some fresh clothes and went down to survey the damage that the dynamic duo were causing. When they got into the kitchen, the distinct smell of burnt sausage and bacon hit them hard. Draco was the first to speak, "So, Ron, How is breakfast coming along?" Draco smirked at the death glare he got.

Draco and Harry quickly got things calmed down and cleaned up, they offered to make breakfast for everyone and then did so quickly enough that Ron didn't complain about starving. If there was one thing Draco knew, his best friend could eat, and it was very dangerous to get in the way of that. While they ate they all talked, except for Harry, who simply nodded affirtmitives. Draco talked with Ron and Hermione about thier new relationship and asked if it would be exclusive. When Ron didn't answer, Draco swore he heard a shin being kicked under the table. "Yeah, we're going out." Ron said reluctantly. Draco just grinned. He was glad he didn't like girls. All girls from his expirience seemed pretty terrifying.

Once everyone finished breakfast, Ron suggested a nature walk and Draco declined. He had alot to do before monday, including see his dad, decide his future with football, and try to clean up damage from the dance. All things that had to be handled as soon as possible before Draco lost his nerve. Harry didn't ask questions, he was still in a good mood from everything that had happened, completely oblivious to the weight on Draco's mind.
