HP ficlet: Love Me Two Times [Harry/Draco, general]
Title: Love Me Two Times Author: celandineb Fandom: HP Pairing: Harry/Draco Rating: general Length: 350 words Summary: There's something behind Harry's humming. Note: For quill_it, 100.3, prompt 39, "double". For alisanne who requested the pairing. The title is (obviously) from the Doors song!
"Er, Harry?"
"What?" Harry looked up from the thick file he was reading.
"You're doing it again. Humming," said Draco.
"Sorry," Harry apologised. "I didn't realise I was."
"I know." Draco sighed. "You never do."
"Just a few more pages and I'll quit for tonight. I need to get this read through before tomorrow though. I'm lead on the case and my team will be going to Romania the next day."
"Well, yes." Harry looked over his glasses at Draco. "I'm sorry I couldn't let you know sooner, but it only just came up this morning."
"Harry. It's not the lack of notice I object to so much—after all these years I'm used to that, even if I don't like it—it's the date. Our anniversary?"
"It isn't," said Harry blankly. "That's not till June."
"It's June now, Harry. Thursday is June 24. Our fifteenth anniversary."
"Oh, nogtails' nuts. I can't believe I forgot…"
"Again," said Draco grimly.
"Again," Harry agreed. "But there's no way I can change the schedule on this, Draco, I'm sorry. Word came down from Kingsley on this one. But I'll make it up to you."
"How?"
Harry smiled their private smile. "Just as soon as I finish reading," he promised, "I'll meet you in the bedroom."
Draco had to smile back. "Twenty minutes?"
"Make it twenty-five," Harry said, "just to be on the safe side."
As he waited, Draco found himself humming the same tune that had so bothered him earlier. One of the Muggle oldies that Harry so liked, he knew, and eventually he put words to it.
Love me two times, baby Love me twice today Love me two times, girl I'm goin' away Love me two times, girl One for tomorrow One just for today Love me two times I'm goin' away
Draco sighed. Except for the "girl" part, it now made perfect sense that Harry had had that tune in his head. At least Draco would get something out of it… and he'd be sure to have something extra-special planned for Harry's return.
