Wait hear me out
Ton turning harry into his sugar daddy as in he just gets into the room and shoves s magazine into his hand and goes buy this and harry is like sure whatever and that escalates to the point where he is like I need money for this and harry just gives him his key for the vaults and eventually tom realizes hm I dont like this so he walks into the room and says "we have to get married" and Harry goes "... Yeah that's more convenient"
I'm running on caffeine so the grammar is iffy but hear me out
Ok...
They study in the same year at hogwarts, not the same house, but in the first year Tom tutored Harry for a few coins, so that's how they started to know each other. One day Tom said that he wanted something, but he said it more to the air than to Harry, it was an expensive thing and he has been saving for months to get, and harry just gives to him as a token of friendship and Tom goes like ????
After that it became a thing, Tom wanted chocolate he said it out loud Harry I bought it for him, at this point harry was a wishing well, and Tom was good in taking advantage of things so he just followed the waves.
Harry was rich so it wasn't a problem for him to buy Tom's hogwarts materials or vests so tom went with him to the Diagonal Alley in the beginning of their fifth year at Hogwarts, Harry bought him whatever tom held for to long, and Tom Knew that.
Harry's friends got pissed off with the situation, they thought Tom was taking advantage of Harry who was too innocent to notice.
Harry knew it tho. He was aware from the beginning, but what could he do when Tom had such a beautiful face? One look from Tom and he became butter on a hot day.
Tom also knew Harry knew, of course, he wasn't stupid. But when they graduate and Harry asked him if he wanted to share an apartment, a big one, and offered a job at his family's potions company as an internship, that was another level. Even though absurd, why would Tom refuse, it wasn't his nature.
After that they pretty much lived a married life, until they decided that to marry was easier than explaining the relationship they had.
Then the romance story actually begins
Tom thought it was just convenience, tho he didn't fully understand what Harry would gain with that. At the beginning of it all he thought Harry liked him but if he did, Harry would have confessed years ago.
On the other hand, Harry is marrying his childhood crush and didn't even needed to confess (his biggest fear of all time) because the marriage was proposed by Tom who didn't like to be called sugar baby by everyone else. So for him it was a win win situation, and he couldn't be more proud of himself.
