It was only when he and Harry properly entered the house and could hear the telly running that Draco realised exactly what situation they found themselves in. Draco had been so focused on Harry and what was going to happen that he hadn’t even considered that the two men who were hosting him could potentially be home.
Hearing the telly on, Draco realised that there was no way that they weren’t home and he couldn’t help the disappointment that took hold of his stomach.
“In here, kiddo,” Sirius replied from the living room, leaving the two guys to find their way to them rather than the other way around.

Harry stole a quick glance at Draco, trying to read the expression on his face while not letting disappointment show on his own. Really, Harry should have known.
He dropped his gaze, looking down as he kicked off his boots, the movement making him a little dizzy, so much anticipation building within him without any viable outlet.
“Hey,” he repeated, a bit more steadfastly, heading for the living room and stalling at the doorway.
There, Remus and Sirius were comfortably on the couch, Remus craning his neck to look at Harry overtop the back of it, a tired smile on his lips that made Harry’s stomach turn, feeling like his fathers had probably only been half an hour or so from calling it a night. “Hi, love. Is it the both of you?”

As Draco entered the living room a little behind Harry, he felt so incredibly foolish for having allowed himself to be caught up in Harry like that. He should have known that going back to Grimmauld would lead them to this situation and yet he couldn’t help feel disappointed by the entire thing.
“It’s both of us,” Draco confirmed as the two older men got into view, immediately feeling the guilt and shame rake through him, though he knew that neither Sirius nor Remus were really in a place to shame him for his attraction to men.
“You guys have fun?” Sirius asked from his lying position on the couch, craning his neck to get a look at them.

Trying to find an answer to that question, Harry looked over at Draco, not even knowing where to begin; his mind remained muddled with the sensation of being kissed, unable to find the words himself.
As it turned out, he didn’t need to say anything.
“What happened to your hand?” Remus interjected, sitting up a little straighter, even if that meant shoving Sirius a bit aside.
Harry, who hadn’t realised he had been worrying his hands, looked down at it with a slight surprise, his mind entirely elsewhere. Even in the dim light of the living room, the bruise looked considerably worse in here than it had outside.
“I, uh,” he floundered, voice a little lost, unable to conjure a lie on the spot. “- punched someone.”

“He defended me,” Draco was quick to break in, unsure how Sirius and Remus were going to react to the news of their son punching someone. He knew that it was his fault after all, so while Harry had been the one to do the punching, he felt that he had to take the fall for it.
“I broke up with Peter earlier today and he wasn’t entirely willing to accept that,” he added, his head spinning slightly from just how much had happened since Sirius and Remus left for work earlier.
Harry saying that he had punched someone was what made Sirius sit up properly as well, finding that Draco’s explanation did offer some insight into why his godson would punch someone, however it didn’t exactly paint the whole picture.
“What happened?” He asked, not accusatory but more than anything worried.

“Oh, Harry,” Remus fussed below his breath that verged on exasperation, suddenly confronted with the fact that Sirius had, in fact, also had a part in raising Harry.
Gesturing him over with an outreached hand over top of the sofa back, Harry stepped closer, gingerly offering it to him.
“We’d been drinking,” Harry answered softly, halfway to an apology. He looked at his own hand in Remus’, making his stomach flip at the overlaid memory of Draco’s hand on his, some off hours earlier. “He was saying some pretty nasty things.”
“And you?” Remus added, attention finding Draco, the news that he had broken up with his partner settling in with a delay. “Are you okay?”

Having Remus’ attention suddenly turned on himself made Draco want to shrink down and disappear, once again back to feeling like he had caused an awful lot of fuss for no real reason.
“I’m fine,” he said, feeling embarrassed about the entire thing, but trying not to just disappear into himself. After all, all of the three men in front of him had done so much for him already and they deserved to know.
“I found out Peter leaked the photos to the press,” he said, looking down at his feel, and trying to become very small. “So I broke up with him and was quite a mess when Harry came here, so he took me out.”
It was all a lot of information for Sirius to take in in such a short amount of time, and he was trying to make sense of all of it. More than anything though, he was so immensely proud of Harry that he could barely stand it; feeling proud that they had managed to raise such a wonderful young man.
“Sounds like a rough night for the both of ya.”

The gravity of Peter’s offence dawned upon Remus’ expression, before it once again closed off, knowing by Draco’s sheepish demeanour that now wasn’t the time to linger too much on the details. Instead, he offered a solemn little nod, having every intent on revisiting the subject in the morning.
“I’m sorry to hear that, yeah,” he concurred. Still looking at Draco, Remus gestured towards Harry’s hand. “Have you had a chance to look this over already?”
“Yeah,” Harry answered on Draco’s behalf, stealing a glance in his direction. “He has. I’m alright, it just looks awful.”
It felt like there was so much in the room, between everything that had been cut short between Harry and Draco, and the questions so visible on his fathers’ faces. Unable to find another way through it, and still a little too intoxicated, Harry couldn’t help a dazed little smile. “Peter looks worse.”
Harry,” Remus warned immediately, but the tension had left his jaw, a reluctant smile pulling at his lips. “Dear lord.”

Sirius couldn’t stop himself from laughing at that, knowing Harry well enough to know that he would never retort to violence unless he deemed it absolutely necessary. He knew that Remus’ reaction was probably more correct, however he also couldn’t deny that he likely would have done the exact same thing.
“You two must be exhausted,” he said instead, trying to become some level of parental figure again.
Everything was far too much for Draco to take in, finding that Remus and Sirius were both too sweet and kind for what the situation called for; unable to deal with any more unusual happenings today.
“Yeah, I think I’ll grab a smoke and head to bed,” he said, his head spinning from the remaining booze in his system and the whiplash of going directly from snogging Harry to standing face to face with his parents.

Harry’s attention immediately returned to Draco at that, having not expected to get another moment alone with him tonight, perhaps besides a hushed few words upstairs.
“I’ll join you,” Harry said, though the infliction of his voice made it sound almost like a question.
There was a real chance Draco just wanted some time alone, but Harry worried they’d go to bed wrong-footed if they didn’t at least have a chance to talk.
“Alright,” Remus said, letting go of Harry’s hand. “Lock the doors behind you, will you?”

Draco’s head was spinning from the whiplash of it all, unsure he would actually be able to face Harry alone again after all of this, but he also knew that it was probably a good idea.
“Yeah, we will,” he said in a soft voice, as he made his way to the terrace door. Exhaustion was slowly overtaking him, feeling like he had lived a full week in just this day, and yet he knew that it wasn’t over yet.

Harry followed Draco out to the back of the house, desperately hoping that any coherent, relevant things to say would find their way to his mind before they got there.
He had no such luck, still feeling the combined buzz of the alcohol and the kiss by the time he closed the terrace door behind him. It wasn’t necessarily a difficult conversation for Harry to have, but it was with Draco, somehow.
Knowing perhaps better than anyone that Draco had run out of cigarettes of his own, Harry pulled his own packet from his pocket, offering it silently for Draco to take.

While Draco had mostly intended for his night visit to the terrace to be to clear his head, he did greatly appreciate the offered cigarette. As he took it from Harry’s hand, suddenly feeling shy about even accidentally touching him, his head was spinning from everything that had happened to him tonight and how he was ever going to feel normal again.
“Ta,” he said before placing the cigarette between his lips and fishing his lighter out of his pocket.

“You’re welcome,” Harry replied on instinct, mostly because staying silent would make the pauses almost unbearably long.
Looking at Draco, Harry was trying to judge what was going through his mind at that moment. Whatever had flared up between them had definitely cooled, naturally so, but Harry was still somewhat drunk and struggled to gauge whether Draco was genuinely uncomfortable, or even regretted even having gotten to this point.
Picking a cigarette out for himself, he looked over at Draco with a little smile; Harry himself thought it was awkward at best, and a funny story at best.
“I think we should call it a night,” he eventually said as casually as possible, feeling like he might be stating the obvious, but also having a gut feeling like Draco maybe needed that resolution. “It’s late, yeah?”

While Draco had desperately wanted Harry all the way up to them seeing Sirius and Remus, and part of him still wanted him, he knew that it was definitely better if it was no more than that.
“Yeah,” he said, taking a drag from his cigarette and steeling himself to actually look at Harry. He was looking for any hint of resentment in him, but to Draco’s surprise, Harry was smiling at him and looked like he really didn’t mind if this was it.
“Sorry about this,” he said, not exactly regretting having kissed Harry, but suddenly feeling painfully aware of the fact that he really needed time to properly land in his new life.

Having just placed the cigarette between his lips when Draco spoke, Harry furrowed his brow, shaking his head no in a clumsy dismissal, making awkward work of lighting it.
“Honestly, don’t worry about it,” Harry dismissed, through the first puff of smoke, an easy smile on his lips. Having kissed Draco was sure to feel like experiencing whiplash, like it wouldn’t ever be quite the same again, but Harry also felt fairly confident that that didn’t mean a change for the worse. “I’ve kissed plenty of my mates, it’s not a big deal.”

Once again, Harry managed to take Draco by surprise.
Draco knew that they had been raised vastly differently, and that Draco had definitely been far more sheltered in his way, but he also knew that Harry was unusually calm about this entire ordeal. Surprisingly though, mostly to himself perhaps, that calmed down Draco as well, feeling hopefully that maybe he hadn’t made a massive mistake.
“This is very new to me,” he explained, knowing that it probably showed but he still felt that it was worth saying out loud.

“That’s alright,” Harry said with a shrug, caught between wanting to reassure Draco and not making too much of a fuss about it.
His knees still felt a little wobbly with intoxication and the intensity of their kiss, but though he would probably spend the rest of the evening mourning what almost was, he was also determined to be Draco’s friend, if that was everything they were ever going to amount to being.
Harry sent him another smile, the cigarette almost back at his mouth. “We’re alright.”

The soft smile that Harry was sending him made Draco’s knees feel weak, struggling with wrapping his head around the entire situation.
It seemed impossible that it could be this easy, that he could just get to make out with a cute guy and then just have that be it, but apparently that was the case.
“Good,” he said with a weak smile, trying to find his balance between the desire that he still felt burning for Harry and the even stronger desire to not rock the boat too much.
“Are we still alright if I kinda want to kiss you again but that that might be it?”

Draco’s question took Harry enough by surprise that it stalled the cigarette in place before he had the chance to take another drag. The way the night had progressed, Harry had expected them to end it with a firm boundary drawn between them; the notion that Draco might be willing to let that waver, even just momentarily, almost made something within Harry spill over, having already started to pack all of those emotions away.
It felt like such a treat, however, that it was hard to deny it, even in the interest of keeping everything neat and tidy between them.
“Yeah,” he replied, his voice airy with a dazed laugh, a toothy grin inevitably pulling at his lips despite his best efforts not to come across too keen.
