"Draco bloody Malfoy!" Draco cringed at Pansy's bellow as she stormed into the boy's dormitory. "We need to talk, now!"

Draco wasn't given the option of declining, Pansy grabbed a hold of his arm and dragged him out of their common room and into a secluded alcove.

"You better start explaining what happened between you and Potter!" Pansy demanded, her stance akimbo and her glare fierce.

"What ever do you mean, Pansy?" Draco inquired, making sure his face was neutral and his voice was emotionless. Pansy stared at him as if he had said something wicked.

"He likes you. Harry Potter likes you, Draco!" Pansy exclaimed and impossibly her glare got fiercer.

Draco was shocked, but he didn't let it show on his face.

Pansy sighed, and walked closer, her eyes lost their glare and was filled with such sympathy that Draco almost looked away. Pansy put her hands on his shoulders. "You're running away blind, Draco. Just talk to him, okay?"

---

Draco has been banned by Pansy from returning to the common room or going to the Prefects rooms until he has resolved things with Potter. He walked down an empty hallway, after giving up on his search for Potter.

"Looking for someone?" A voice parallel to him asked.

Draco jumped in surprised and turned to look at the culprit and he stared into the eyes of the man he was looking for. "I'm looking for you, actually." Draco dropped the eye contact that he held with Potter because it seemed that those eyes were replaying their kiss over and over again. He looked at Potter's hand and saw the orange bear he left on the last ride they had together at the fair.

Potter saw where he was looking at, since he lifted up the bear and handed it out to Draco, who took it with slight hesitation and flushed when their hands touched. Draco clutched the bear tightly in his hand, trying not to bring the toy to his chest and squeeze it because that would show vulnerbility and Draco hasn't been vulnerable since the war.

"Listen, Malfoy, about the kiss..." Draco blushed, he didn't want to discuss this, he wanted to turn and get away. Then he remember Pansy words about running away and something fell into place: the way he reacted to Potter, why he thought about the kiss so much, and why he always knew when Potter entered a room.

He liked Potter. When Potter gasped, Draco blushed darker, he had just said that out loud. Then Potter stepped closer and gave a breathe taking smile that made Draco's heart flutter.

"Good," Potter whispered in Draco's ear. "Because I like you too." Potter leaned back to Draco in the eye and asked, "Do you want to go out?"

Draco answer was to drag Potter into a heated snog.
