He Will Love You

He Will Love You

Dear Blaise,

I will not ask how, because I do not want answers. I will not ask why because I know what the reply would be. This is the first and last time you will be hearing from me, because I do not want to ruin your relationship with Harry.

I wrote simply because I want to tell you to love him; love him true and never let him go. Don't make the same mistakes that I did.

When I first saw the two of you, I remembered the times when we were together. Those times were so sweet filled moments as if we were the only ones in the world. But you see, I just disregarded all of those, I ignored the promises we made to each other. And in the end I left him, I left him all alone, crying in pain. I deserted him.

-flashback-

"Draco, we have been through this before!" Harry exclaimed, trying to make Draco change his mind.

"I know, but I just can't. Not today. Maybe next time." the blonde answered, not looking at his lover.

"If not today, then when?" Harry tried to hug his lover, but the blonde just shrugged it away.

"I don't know!"

"Okay, I won't push you. Don't worry. I'll wait. I'll wait 'till you are ready," the black haired man reassured his lover.

"Not today, Harry. I am so sorry. I know we have talked about this, but not today." The blonde gave him a sad gaze.

"I understand, love. I do. Are you okay now?" Smiled Harry.

"I just don't know."

-end of flashback-

We have agreed that we will tell all our friends and loved ones that we were together, that we have been together for three years, but I got frightened with the thought. I left him that night and never came back, I told myself that if we are really meant to be, then we will find each other again and maybe by that time I will be ready. I knew then that he would wait for me, I know because we love each other and he told me so. But now I am here, and he is with you, and I realize that I made him wait for too long. The first time I saw him with you, the smile on his face let me know that he is happy.

-flashback-

"Blaise, I think this will look good on you," Harry said as he hands over a blue robe to Blaise.

"You think so?"

"Yeah, this is what you should wear. It brings out the best in you," Harry said smiling

"If you say so, then let's buy it!" Blaise exclaimed.

-end of flashback-

He will love you Blaise. He will love you like he loved me, or even more. His love is pure, innocent, and true, a love I don't deserve, but I know you will. He will love you with his whole heart and soul. He will give everything to you just to make you happy. Never take advantage of him. Never let him feel pain; never make him cry. Whatever happened between us never let it happen again. He doesn't deserve it. Do everything to make him happy, everything that I wasn't able to do. Be the man that I am not.

-flashback-

"I love you so much, Draco," the black haired wizard said to the sleepy blonde.

"I love you, too." The blonde smiled sleepily and nuzzled closer to his lover.

"Happy Anniversary," Harry said and after a soft whisper of a spell, a cool breeze made them shiver and Draco sat bolt upright.

"Harry!" The blonde exclaimed.

"Do you like it?" His lover asked, smiling mischievously.

"Where are we?" The blonde kept looking around.

"We're here on a beach resort, which I bought. This is where I want us to spend most of our time, love," Harry said as he tried to calm his lover down.

"Really?" Draco asked, looking his lover in the eyes.

"Yeah. Don't go back to sleep yet. I want us to watch as the sun rises, marking the first day of another year for us," Harry said as he brought up the blanket to warm them.

"I like that." The blonde scooted to his lover and draped his hands across the other's waist.

"You haven't answered me yet.... Do you like it?

"No.... I love it." Draco looked at his lover and leaned for a light kiss, and settled back again, waiting for the sunrise.

"I love you, Draco."

-end of flashback-

It is true that sometimes you realize and regret your actions when it is already too late, too late to take it all back. But I guess that is the price that I have to pay for leaving him. This is what I felt the second time I decided to visit after my retreat; the second time I set foot in wizarding world; the second time I saw Harry with you.

-flashback-

"I really had a great time, Blaise," chuckled Harry.

"Oh, and there is more to come you know."

"Come in first, and have coffee, tea, or whatever."

"Thank you." Blaise entered Harry's apartment and stayed there until morning, when he left.

"Thanks again, Blaise!" Harry exclaimed.

"I hope there will be a next time, though." Blaise grinned back.

"Definitely." After that, Harry closed the door, and Draco was left staring blankly at the now-quiet apartment.

-end of flashback-

I am sure that you are both happy now. Take good care of each other. It is only once in your life that a person like Harry comes along, so never let him go. Once you have let this wonderful chance pass, you will never know if someone like him will come along again. As for me, I know I will never meet another. He is the only one, and I gave him away.

Love him true, Blaise, because if you hurt him, wherever I may be, I will hunt you down and make you pay for what you have done.

Love him for me.

Draco.

"It looks like somebody wants you back in his arms once again," Blaise smirked after reading the letter aloud for the second time.

"Where do you think he is right now?"

"I don't know. I'm not his ex-lover, am I?"

"I want to talk to him." Harry whispered.

"I think you should. I don't want to see you like this. You have to decide whether you will move on, with or without him." Blaise gave the other a light hug and smiled for him.

"But I don't know where he could be right now," the black-haired wizard answered.

"Harry, you know what? I think you still love him. I know you will think of some bright idea as to where he would be right now." Blaise smirked.

"I don't know where to start. There are so many of them!" Harry looked confused.

"Harry, what day is today? I think I better go now, you know." Blaise was busy fixing the magazines on the table, so he was surprised that when he looked up, he was talking to a cold armchair. "What the - Harry?" he yelled, but no one answered.

* * * * *

"I knew you would be here." A soft voice

"I should be going. I know I shouldn't be here." A whisper

"No, stay as long as you like. This is ours, you know."

"Used to be-"

"Still is."

"Why?"

"I've been waiting for your return."

"It's been so long."

"Yes, but I told you that you can take all the time you want, and I'll wait."

"You don't really have to..."

"But I want to."

"How did you..."

"Blaise."

"I am so sorry, Harry, I should go now. Blaise he might see me. I told him I would go away for good. I don't want to ruin your relationship."

"Relationship?"

"Yes." A whisper.

"Yes, our relationship.... our business relationship. Do tell me how are you going to ruin it. Are you planning to compete with us? I tell you now that we are the best," Harry said, smiling and enjoying the look on the blonde's face.

"No, not that one. You know, relatio---" Draco looked at his lover as realization dawned him.

"It looks like somebody jumped to conclusions just by seeing me and Blaise - how many times was that again - twice?"

"But you were so close, you looked so happy."

"Yes, we are close. We are business partners, and yes, we are happy, because we have good clients that makes us number one."

"But he stayed over at your place the last time I saw you together!"

"Yes, not just once, but lots of times, before and after you saw him. Do you want to know what we were doing, hmmm?"

"No."

"We were just hanging around, or sometimes doing business. Sometimes we sing. You know, the Muggle karaoke. Did you know that Blaise has a very nice voice?" Harry said smirking "looks like somebody was jealous."

"Who wouldn't be? I love you, you know. I still love you!"

"And I still love you too."

"Oh, Harry, I'm so sorry!" Draco ran to his lover's arms.

"Shh, Draco, I understand." Harry tightened his hold around his lover.

"I shouldn't have left. We should have faced it together."

"We still have a chance, you know."

"Second chance? Harry, are you giving me another chance?"

"Uh-huh."

"I don't deserve this."

"You do."

"I do? Do you think so?" The blonde raised his head to face his lover.

"Yes. As long as there's love." Harry moved a little bit to see his lover clearly.

"I'm ready now, Harry. I'm so sorry that it took me so long," the blonde said as he caressed his lover's cheeks.

"Doesn't matter, at least you are now," Harry said as he leaned on his lover and kissed him lightly.

"Thank you."

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

"Love?"

"Hmmm..."

"How did you know that I was here?"

"Today is our anniversary, you know."

"Yeah? I almost forgot!"

"Happy Anniversary."

"Happy Anniversary to you, too, love."

"Harry, I think you should conjure a fluffy bed, and silk sheets. It's almost sunrise."

"Just a minute."

* * * * *

A month afterwards, an announcement was made in a very Malfoy-esque way.

"Harry! Have you seen the newspaper today?" Blaise screamed.

"Not yet, why?" When Harry turned around to face Blaise, he was holding the newspaper wide. On the front page, in big bold letters, was written:

I LOVE YOU, HARRY POTTER. WILL YOU MARRY ME? DRACO MALFOY

There is a picture of Draco kneeling and opening a small velvet box.

"Umm Harry?"

"What?" He was surprised to see Draco on his knees and flashes of cameras swarming their boutique.

"Harry, will you marry me?"

"Draco, I love you! Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Harry ran to Draco, and the blonde picked him up, swirling him and kissing him breathless. When the blonde put his lover down, he slipped the ring onto his finger. There was another round of flashes, and applause was heard.

The next day the headline was:

HARRY POTTER TO MARRY DRACO MALFOY

Inset was the picture of the two lovers, when Harry ran to Draco, up to the slipping of the ring.
