Seizing the Moment

Draco woke slowly, feeling sore all over. Harry had certainly put him through his paces the night before. He couldn’t help the sated smile that crossed his lips at the memory. Harry was an incredible lover who knew just how to please Draco.

“Good morning, Sleeping Beauty! Do you need a pain potion after last night?”

“Oh, you are just so pleased with yourself aren’t you, you brute?”

“You know you loved it, Draco,” Harry smirked.

Draco wrinkled his nose in a pretense of distaste, but his eyes went soft looking at Harry.

“You are so adorable when you first wake up in the morning.”

Harry paused, just looking at Draco. He took in everything from his bed-messy hair to the patches of skin in various shades of red from intense kissing and sucking. He knew right then that he wanted forever with this man.

“There was something I wanted to ask you last night, but you fell asleep before I could.”

“I am not adorable! For Godric’s sake Harry, my hair looks worse than yours this morning. It’s a good thing no one else knows what you do to me, or they’d have an altogether different opinion of you,” Draco groused.

“Draco did you miss the part where I told you I was hoping to ask you something?” Harry wondered bemusedly.

“I heard you, Potter. But if you’re going to ask me what I think you are, you’d better do it right the first time. I won’t have it said that I accepted a subpar marriage proposal,” Draco answered.

Harry couldn’t control the grin that spread across his face at that.

“But you do intend to accept it?” he asked.

“Yes, Harry. You had to know I would. You’re the only one who has ever seen me with my hair like this. If I didn’t marry you, I’d have to kill you,” Draco said sweetly.

Harry laughed outright, the pure joy in the sound enough to make Draco’s heart skip a beat.

Harry peppered Draco’s face with tiny kisses until Draco gently pushed him away.

“Enough, Harry. You’re like an over-eager puppy, you know? Don’t slobber all over me.”

“You loved it when I was slobbering on you last night,” Harry pointed out.

“Yes, well…that’s different.”

Harry snorted, getting up from the bed and Summoning something from the pocket of his discarded robes.

He sank to one knee on the carpeted floor of the hotel room, extending the jewelry box in one hand.

“Draco Malfoy, I have been waiting for the right moment to propose to you for months. I can’t wait anymore. Will you please marry me and put me out of my misery?”

“Very well, if I must.”

Draco’s eyes were sparkling as Harry slipped the ring on his finger.

“You know, Draco, they have a wedding chapel here on the island. What do you say we get married today?”

“Today? Harry, don’t be ridiculous. We need to plan for that. Getting engaged doesn’t mean we have to get married right away.”

“I love you. I want to marry you as soon as I possibly can. We’re here, alone, on a gorgeous island…the weather is beautiful. What more do you want?”

Thinking it over, Draco nibbled his lip in indecision for a few seconds before agreeing.

“I always knew we’d get married someday, I just wasn’t expecting that someday to be today.”

Harry was grinning goofily, still basking in the fact that Draco said yes.

“Oh, and Harry? You’ll be the one dealing with the Howler from Mother.”

Buahahaha! So romantic, up until the reminder of Narcissa's rage. Hah! They can have an official ceremony later. Heh. Thanks for the entries!

You are very welcome! That last line just wrote itself, I swear. I had to get a little bit of humour in at the end. You can bet Narcissa will make them have an official ceremony. I had so much fun writing this. Thanks for the great prompts!

Yes, Harry. You had to know I would. You’re the only one who has ever seen me with my hair like this. If I didn’t marry you, I’d have to kill you,” Draco said sweetly.

Best line ever. <3

Thank you! I'm really happy you liked that line. Draco insisted on including it. Of course, there was no way I could say no. Thanks for reading and commenting.

No need for another ceremony... just let Narcissa plan the reception. I can imagine it would be a hum dinger of a PARTY! :)

And I loved the line about his hair... :D I have a few of those things... were I know how close I am to someone, by what I let them see in its natural state. LOL :D

Lovely little fic. Thank you for sharing it!

[bleedingangel84.livejournal.com]

Lol, Narcissa certainly does know how to plan a soiree.

I'm happy you liked the line about Draco's hair. That's when you know it's true love.

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. I really appreciate it.
