"I've never much cared for boys or girls," Theodore told Draco, reaching up to smooth his hair. "I've only ever cared for you. It's just...who you are, not the body you're in, though...I've definitely gotten used to wanting you in that way. And I don't think it's wrong to want someone you love. I know that your family - your father - would never accept this...but I'll keep your secret to the death," he promised. "And...I want you to undress me, too. And for you to undress, and to feel you against me," he closed his eyes. "Touching me...and touching you in return, if you'll allow me, once more."
