Always

Draco always came back, usually hung over, black circles under his eyes if he'd been away the whole night. Harry wondered why Draco never glamoured them away, it was an easy enough spell, but then again, Harry didn't bother hiding his either.

Draco always came back, and even if it was past breakfast, they returned to their bedroom and stripped as if getting ready for bed. Harry curled behind Draco and pressed his face into blond hair. Draco twined their fingers over his stomach, and they breathed, just breathed.

Draco always came back, but it never stopped the tightening of Harry's chest as he wondered if this was going to be the time, the exception, the end of them, finally. It took the warmth of Draco's skin to calm his heart, the press of narrow hips against his own, the squeeze of his hand that took away his fears and said, I'm here.

Draco always came back, but it never stopped Harry from whispering, "Don't leave again."

Oh, how lovely and heartbreaking this is! I love how you've anchored the story on the repetition of "Draco always came back," how it grounds their relationship and elicits fears at the same time. There's such a sense of tragedy here. I really adore it.

Thank you! I'm so glad you read it and liked it!

That's exactly what I was going for--I'm so pleased it came across. I actually went for a little bit of angst--shocking, I know, eh?

Beautiful, but sad. You were going for the angst, I see! It works wonderfully. My poor Draco.

Thank you! Yes, I was feeling a bit angsty last night--perhaps due to sleeplessness? I'm really glad you popped over to read!
