Love's Decisions

The next morning, Draco awoke slowly. I opened my eyes too, to see him looking into my eyes with a confused look. I looked at his body, covered only with boxers, as an explanation. Draco followed my line of vision to look at his own body, before seeing the bandages all of his body. He rolled off of me slowly, unaware that throughout the night he’d practically rolled on top of me and spread eagled himself all over the bed. It was uncomfortable to say the least. He sat up slowly on the bed
“Don’t do anything rash. You might still be dizzy from yesterday” I told him quietly. Draco turned to look at me slowly.
“What do you mean yesterday?” he asked. I looked down at my hands
“I saw… what Lucius was…… I helped you after he left” I replied, allowing Draco the fill the gaps in my sentence with his own memories. He gulped as he looked back over his body, before turning to look at me. I braced myself suddenly, sure that he was angry at me for meddling in his business.
“Thank you” he replied sincerely, holding my gaze. My breath caught up from his unexpected response, and I nodded slowly, before getting up.
“I’ll…let you get dressed now” I replied quietly, before leaving the room.
“Why?” he asked, and I turned around. A ghost of a smirk was playing at his lips “You’ve already undressed me. There’s not much else to see” he responded, his smirk widening. “I know you wanted to see me without clothes. You don’t have to pretend you were helping me” he noted, before walking towards his bathroom. I smiled as I turned to leave. I don’t know what it was that made me feel warm: maybe the fact that even after going through something so hellish, he bounced back so quickly. I was about to leave when I heard Draco call from the shower
“I hope you’re not still out there, presumably sniffing my clothes just to remember me. And I also hope that you don’t count last night as me sleeping with you. I passed out, it’s different” he called, before starting the stereo in the bathroom. I chuckled lightly as I walked out of his room.
