"We need to talk," he admitted, "but not right now - later," Draco nodded; Harry’s heart and ego were somewhat soothed by the other’s reluctance to pull away from him, even as he expressed his regret for what had just transpired between them, "Hey - listen to me?" Draco’s grey eyes were finally in view again, "If you’re sorry for this, because you think you’ve wronged me somehow - then I need you to do right by me, and not pull away, do you understand? It might be selfish to say, but I need you," his voice cracked slightly, "I need you - okay? Possibly right now, more than ever," any concern he’d had about Draco putting distance between them was immediately dismissed, as Draco pulled him in closer and pressed their foreheads together.
