Summary: Draco returns, bearing a special gift for Harry.
Despite being on his own for most of the day, Harry found the time going quickly. He wrapped a final gift for Draco, sorted out the Christmas cards he'd received, and he even made the plum pudding he'd promised his boyfriend. He assigned a few other nibbles to Kreacher to make, in an effort to keep the grouchy old elf from feeling unwanted, and then Harry took Chewy for a walk. Each time they encountered a cat on their walk, Chewy would give it a wide berth, which made Harry laugh. Evidently, Chewy's cat-sister, Cassi, had made quite an impression on him with her fierce behavior.
Draco arrived in time for tea, as promised.
Harry levitated everything to the small table in the front room and began pouring hot water into cups. "How are your other boyfriends?" he asked.
"I threw all of them over."
"Indeed?" Harry prompted, taking a sip of tea.
"Each of them insisted on singing to me, and they all gave me horrible socks for Christmas."
"A tragedy," tutted Harry. "It's fortunate you still have me, since I have excellent taste in gifts."
"Ah, yes," said Draco. "You gave me a pink Christmas tree, an absurd pair of snowman pants, and a pair of horrible socks."
"Don't forget the partridge in a pear tree."
"Prat," snorted Draco.
"I also gave you a cashmere jumper, a box of truffles, and I had Charlie procure some dragons' blood for potions," Harry reminded him. "As I recall, you also gave me a silly pair of pants, so I'd say we're even on that score."
"Please," scoffed Draco. "Those pants are your most cherished possession."
"I don't deny it," Harry said with a laugh. "But, what else did you give me? Maybe I should accumulate a few more boyfriends."
"I got you a pair of sensible boots--"
"You mean fashionable boots."
"...tickets to a Quidditch match, and some elegant stemware."
"What am I going to do with elegant stemware?"
Draco lifted one shoulder in a shrug. "We can mix up some Christmas cocktails," he suggested.
"It's after Christmas," said Harry. "We'll have to save the stemware for champagne at New Year's."
Draco cleared his throat. "I, ahem, I did get you one more gift," he said.
Harry's entire body went on alert. From the way Draco was stammering and squirming, he was sure this was going to be memorable. "Did you wrap a ribbon around your cock?"
"Ribbon...wha?...no!" blurted Draco. "Pervert," he added, for good measure.
"Ah, well, keep it in mind for future reference," said Harry.
"Ahem, I cannot simply give you this gift," Draco said. "I need to show it to you." He stood up and began unbuttoning his shirt.
Harry's heart raced, and he leaned forward in his chair.
Draco shrugged out of his shirt and quartered away as he rolled his left shoulder forward, displaying a freshly-inked dragon tattoo on his shoulder blade.
"Draco!" Harry gasped, staring in wonder at the beautiful ink. "You got that for me?!"
"Yes, that's why it's on my shoulder and not my arm, like yours is," Draco replied. "I don't really want to show it to anyone else but you. It's also why I was gone most of the day. I had an appointment to get inked."
Harry stood up, forgetting about the tea and the festive plum pudding. He approached Draco and touched his tat with a gentle fingertip. "I can't believe you did this, and that you added Property of Harry Potter under the dragon's wing."
"What?!"
Harry snickered. "I'm joking, love," he said. "This may mean I'm stuck with you, though."
"Does that bother you?"
"Not at all," said Harry. "In fact, I think it calls for a celebratory shag."
"Sex sounds brilliant," Draco agreed. "As long as I'm not on my back."
