Chapter 58

The presence of their reality was setting in, and Harry and Draco did not want to wake up the next morning. The rest of their night was spent cuddled up on the beach, when they weren't building "sand mansions" as Draco called them. The amount of kisses shared between seemed to be infinite, each subsequent one being more tender than the last.

They were watching the sunset together, Draco's head leaning on Harry's shoulder, Harry holding Draco against him.

"We should sleep early Scarhead, we'll be losing out on 5 hours of sleep."

"I suppose so. What time are we leaving tomorrow?"

"The party starts at 6, which is 1pm this time. I figured we would leave here at 10 to get back for 3? It'll give you time to shower and unpack and get ready. Plus answer all of your adoring fan mail", Draco teased.

"I have my number 1 fan right here", Harry murmured, pressing his lips against Draco's.

"You treat all your fans like this?"

"Only my favorite. It does well to stay in my good graces."

"And if I don't?"

"I'm sure you'll find out. You're not always on your best behavior."

"I look forward to it. Shall we head to bed now?"

"I like where that's going", Harry replied with a smirk.

"What's there to like? I'm simply going to sleep."

"Sure you are sweetheart."

They made sure all of their stuff was packed and that they wouldn't forget anything. Harry collapsed onto the bed, pulling Draco down on top of him. Draco smiled up at Harry, wrapping his arms around his neck. 

"You're so beautiful Draco. I didn't know you had freckles", Harry whispered, running his fingertips over Draco's cheeks lovingly.

"Don't remind me. I hate them."

"I love them."

Proving his point, Harry dusted Draco's cheeks with soft kisses as Draco completely melted against Harry, sighing softly.

"You're too good to me Scarhead."

"Are you kidding me? You arranged such a wonderful trip for me for my birthday. I feel happy and relaxed and safe, and I've never felt like this before. You went through so much effort for me even though you didn't have to. I'll never forget this as long as I live."

"I promised you that I would take care of you. My wonderful Harry. You take care of everyone in your life, it's about time you have someone who cares solely for you. That's me my darling."

"I wouldn't want it to be anyone else."

"Good, because you're mine."

Draco proved his point with a bruising kiss against Harry's lips, before cuddling up next to him.

"You don't know how badly I want to mark your neck", Harry thought, trailing his fingertips across Draco's cheek, down to his neck.

"Merlin I wish you would."

"When everyone knows we're together, you're going to have to wear a scarf permanently."

Shuddering, Draco pressed himself closer to Harry.

"I want everyone to know that I belong to you", Draco whispered heavily into Harry's ear.

Instead of sleeping as they had planned, they had another snogging session. The wonderful thing with the communication is that they didn't even have to ask what felt good and what didn't. Collapsing next to each other once again, the two men fell into a fitful sleep.
