‘You like it here, then?’ Potter’s voice is tentative, as though he too is trying to restore the peace.
‘It’s Paris, Potter. What’s not to like?’
‘And you like—you like what you do?’
‘Yes,’ Draco says simply. He knows what people think about his job, but he’s not about to be shamed for it, especially by someone who seems to have no issue paying for his services. ‘It pays the bills, gives me freedom, and I’m good at it. Plus, I like sex. This way I get to have as much as I want.’
‘I’m sure you could go and get as much sex as you wanted, without doing it for a job.’
There’s a wriggle of something like happiness and excitement in Draco’s stomach at Potter’s words.
‘Are you saying you think I’m hot?’ Draco can’t resist pushing his luck.
‘Well—you’re—you know,’ Potter sounds flustered, and Draco can’t help grinning.
‘You know. Tall. Pointy. You’ve got that hair.’
‘Wow, Potter, truly a ringing endorsement of my attractiveness.’
‘You know you’re fit, Malfoy, I don’t know why you need to hear me say it!’ Potter bursts out, before murmuring something that sounds a little like oh god, shut up Harry.
‘That’s all you needed to say,’ Draco crows, before they both lapse into silence.
