Possession
Strange how love changed things, even unspoken. A shy glance, an awkward hand…what was light and easy now felt fragile, in need of great care. The lonely dungeon dormitory shared so many times, now unrecognizable to the drunken eyes of new love.
They’d touched each other slowly, as if time might slow with them, desperate to notice the passing of each moment. Draco tasted every crevice, every salty bit of skin, craving something so deeply, he hardly knew what it was. When Harry entered him, he found it… possession, being possessed… a sense of ownership so strong it bordered on darkness. Harry, Draco cried. Mine, he thought.
As morning grew close, he pushed away thoughts of death and loss. He curled tightly into Harry’s precious, warm body, and pretended not to know what it meant to send that body back to war, that it wasn’t just one night, that he wouldn’t be alone again in a few short hours time.
Later, when he could no longer pretend, his stomach heaving with each reawakening fear, he took out Harry’s gift, gripping the tiny box in his hand, corners digging, leaving small, red hollows in his palm.
Harry, he thought.
Mine.
