Summary:
This is a summery romantic comedy featuring my favourite ensemble cast, in which Harry is confused, Draco is Draco, and Hermione attempts to eat all the things.
Excerpt:
The usually-sharp eyes are bright and vulnerable as they burn into Harry. His skin tingles all over as he stares back, and for once, neither of them look away. Slowly, almost fearfully, he slides down from the chair and onto his knees beside Draco, bringing them as close as he dares.
“Here’s the thing,” he mumbles, letting his fingers slide across the cool floor until they are almost, almost touching Draco’s, holding the eye contact, even as his mouth turns dry and his stomach flips uncontrollably. So close. Draco doesn’t smell like Draco, but he smells good, and it’s too much.
“What?” Draco urges in a harsh whisper.
“This has all been pretty weird for me so far, and as there’s every chance that I’m misinterpreting the whole thing, I’m going to need you to spell it out for me,” Harry admits. “Just in case.”
Draco laughs softly, eyes warm as he leans in closer, fingertips grazing Harry’s on the floor.
“Candour isn’t really my strong point.”
“Please try,” Harry whispers, close enough now to see the flecks of darker grey in Draco’s eyes and to feel the intoxicating heat of each exhalation. Please, he repeats silently.
“I want you,” Draco says boldly, fingers sliding forward to tangle with Harry’s. “And not just for a little while. Will that do?”
“Yes.” Harry smiles until it hurts, cautious hope taking flight and dragging years of quiet, painful longing in its wake. Feeling like he might burst if he doesn’t kiss Draco right this instant, he grips their tangled fingers tight and leans across the last few inches that separate them.
The knock at the door startles them both and they jump guiltily apart.
