#drarry bromance

[victoreli]

Hermione: "I have to admit, I did not expect to find out about my own engagement by having the ring accidentally thrown in my face while stumbling into a classic Malfoy and Potter wrestling match, but then, if I really think about it, it feels somehow appropriate. I suspect it wouldn’t be Draco and me if nobody had accidentally injured someone else in the process."

And that is why @olivieblake is queen

So... I really love your Draco and Harry relationship in "Ride or Die". I absolutely love it~! So I was wondering if perhaps you could reccomend me a story where they have similar friendship (if you want to that is) ? Please and Thank you. (^｡^)

Any of my stories, firstly; that brolationship is basically reincarnated the exact same way in Marked and Nocturnes, and I would also urge you to check out Epistles, which is the drarry bromance of the century. Other than that, though, I’m not sure. It’s a pretty common feature in most fics, I think, but I’ll have to ponder it and let you know if anything in particular comes to mind

Dude edition: 7 Drarry bromance ;) and 55 Thercy,please and thank you for allowing me to abuse your inbox with dozens of these :)

Okay first off, I am so sorry this took me so long, I started a new job and had the busiest of weeks … I’m going to try and get all my remaining prompts out today and tomorrow. Thank you for being patient with me.

7 - ‘Are you okay?’ ‘Why do you ask?’ ‘You’re wearing two different shoes.’

Draco looked up, the image of his college roommate just standing in the doorway, staring into the shared kitchen, what greeted him. The most perplexed look on his face, his glasses askew and his clothes looking more dishevelled than usual. Which was saying something,

‘Are you okay Harry?’ Draco said as he flicked the stove to a slow heat.

‘Uh huh,’ Harry smiled idly. ‘Why do you ask?’

Draco gave the man another once over and focused on the final proof something had happened while Harry was out. ‘You’re wearing two different shoes.’

The bespectacled man looked down at his feet, still standing in the doorway, and laughed. ‘Oh yeah, funny story.’

‘That redhead girl you’ve been seeing had a boyfriend and he found you in her flat naked didn’t he?’ Draco smirked and turned to face Harry properly.

‘No,’ Harry said, a roll of his eyes. ‘Me and Ginny broke up months ago, after you pointed out just how similar she looks and acts to my mother,’ Harry scowled at the grinning Draco. ‘Thanks for that by the way.’

‘What are best mates for?’ Draco snarked. ‘You couldn’t pull off the name Oedipus.’

‘Fuck off Draco,’ Harry tried to hide his smile and flopped down on the sofa with a groan of relief. ‘I’m wearing two different shoes cus I had an early class this morning and I didn’t get in til six the night before.’

‘So as opposed to being ten minutes late to the first lesson of the semester after Christmas you decided to rush out without checking you were wearing matching shoes? Do you do this to me on purpose or is it just habit now?’ Draco asked as steam began to rise from the frying pan, the hissing and spitting of bacon blissful. ‘Has years of friendship with someone as stylish as me taught you nothing? And why are you only get back in now? That class couldn’t have been more than two hours.’

Harry just grinned and it made Draco groan. He knew that smile, that bastarding smile that meant Harry had something to shut him up. It was probably woman related. It always bloody was.

‘Luna Lovegood thought my choice in shoes was quite charming,’ Harry smirked and passed his phone over to Draco, open to the message that proved Harry had won the day. Again. Bastard.

Luna Lovegood: Lunch was lovely Harry, we will have to do it again. Though I should think food too would be nice next time :) x

Draco threw the phone back at Harry and smirked. ‘You smooth son of a bitch. You know the t-shirt I got you was a joke right? You don’t have to become every girl you meet’s new boyfriend.’

Harry winked and flicked on the telly. ‘I know, I’m just lucky that way. Don’t worry, I’ll see if she’s got a friend for you.’

‘Fuck you,’ Draco snorted as he came round to the sofa and tucked into a bacon sandwich. That he’d bloody earned for living with the smug prick to his left.

‘No thank you, A prettier blonde covered that already.’

55 - ‘Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?’

Percy really tried to swallow the smile he was being made to make.

‘Oh damn,’ Theo grinned from his side of the table. Percy was already regretting offering to help the younger man with his caseload. Being around his handsome face was not enough to put up with his crap. He had brothers to mess him about, he didn’t need the handsome new boy to join in.

‘What Theo? You need to focus on this case, it’s very important.’ Percy tore his eyes from the startlingly blue eyes that he honest to Merlin swore were appearing in his dreams recently.

‘No, I know Percy but … have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?’ Theo smiled big, it stretched his face.

‘No,’ Percy denied, but the lie made his smile bigger and even more impossible to resist as he smiled fully for the first time in ages. ‘Can we please focus?’

‘But we need to celebrate this!’ Theo crowed as he stared up at him, devilishly handsome smile in place. ‘I’ve been trying to make you smile for weeks, it suits you by the way, and I’ve finally managed it! Drinking should be involved!’

Percy shook his head, but he couldn’t stop smiling, as he took his seat behind the table and started shifting through the extensive notes. ‘We’re not allowed to drink on Ministry time or property Theo, you know that.’

‘The Aurors do it,’ Theo countered, Percy could feel him watching him.

‘That is besides the point,’ Percy frowned and looked up. A lump forming in his throat as Theo was still looking at him. A soft fondness in his face that made Percy … itch.

‘Maybe we should just go to the pub afterwards then?’ Theo offered as he finally looked away, the dusting of a blush on his cheeks. ‘You know, just the two of us.’

Percy stopped for a long moment, a million thoughts crashing together inside his head as he took in the shy smile, the hopeful look up and felt his heartbeat quicken to a near deafening pace. ‘I don’t drink.’

Bugger, why didn’t he just say yes?

‘Dinner then?’ Theo smiled warmly. ‘After work of course.’

There was a fleck of green in Theo’s blue iris. It was undeniable charming … ‘Yeah, okay. After work.’

They poured through the case file together in silence for a few minutes before Theo broke the comfortable silence. ‘Still can’t believe I finally got you to smile.’

‘Do be quiet Theo,’ Percy said teasingly. ‘Or I won’t go on our date with you.’

‘Yes boss,’ Theo chuckled.

Only Draco, Harry thought wryly, could manage to give the impression that he had gotten up in the morning, decided a black eye might add to his ensemble, and punched himself in the face.

I always thought I would follow you up to the gates of Hell if I had to. And that, once arriving there, I would beg the gatekeeper to take me instead of you. And if he must take you, I would ask to come with you. And if he would not let me come with you, I would wait for you on the shores of the river. I promised to watch over you and follow you always. I promised never to leave you. I never thought that death might prevent me. Not your death, but mine.
