Summary: Harry sees what Draco can never imagine.
It's hard for me to believe that it has already been a year. When you spoke those words and we said "I do", everything was perfectly right in my world. It had been good when you and I got together, but suddenly it was perfect.
I wish you could see what I see when I look at you. You still see a Death Eater, someone weak who followed for the sake of following. You see a pointy face and hardened eyes. You see a lip that snarls when others talk to you, even if you are pleased with the conversation. You see someone who spent years hating things, hating people because you were taught to; because you were supposed to.
I see the bravest man I know. I see a man who risked his life for me so that I could get the information I needed to defeat Voldemort. I see an angular face, whose chin fits perfectly into the crook of my neck after we make love.
I see steel grey eyes that have witnessed far too much pain and suffering, often at the hand of your own father. And I see those eyes turn into liquid silver when they are filled with passion and at both times and for separate reasons, those eyes melt my heart. I see a man with a wickedly sharp sense of humor, who finally laughs loud and freely at my silly jokes and sappy love notes.
And I see a man who was willing to put aside all the lessons of a lifetime, not to save his own hide, but because it was the right thing to do. I see a loyal friend and a sensual lover. I see my soul mate. I'm a better man because you are in my life, Draco Potter-Malfoy.
It's been said that you only truly fall in love once, but I don't believe it. Every time I see you, I fall in love all over again. Happy Anniversary, Draco.
Harry's eyes were filled with tears as he stood at their anniversary celebration. He spoke with such love in his voice that when he was finished, there was barely a dry eye in the room. He looked deep into his husband's eyes and into his soul as he pulled him in for a kiss, knowing that for always, whenever he fell, Draco would be there to catch him.
