@drarrymicrofic - steal (part ii)
This is microfic is one half of a pair. The other half can be read here. Thank you @plumforests, @bewarethesmirk, and @holygnocchi for looking over these and giving suggestions.
On a late evening in the office, Draco and Potter pen their reports.
A rustle of clothes. Draco looks up to see Potter lost in thought.
Through the chiaroscuro of Potter’s features, Draco notices how worry has stolen the light in his green eyes, how fatigue has weighed down his eyelids, how wariness has found residence between his brows, and how, even now, the shadow of tension steals along his hardened jaw.
Despite all the digs, for once Draco sees the hero in Potter and the weight that comes with it.
He wishes that he could help him let it all go.
