DRARRY X READER
1. Gift Giving
Harry shows love by giving gifts. Usually it's nights out buying the two (or even just one) of you dinner. Sometimes is coming home with something he saw that made him think of you. Your home is littered with trinkets and books and love.
2. Quality Time
Draco shows love by spending time with you both (separately or together). Sometimes its picking you up from/taking you to work. Sometimes its calling off on a random Tuesday to lie in bed together. Most often, it's reading by the fire in the evenings; paying more attention to the two of you than whichever book he picked up.
3. Physical Touch
Harry feels love through touch. He won't seek it out, but relishes in every casual touch. From hand holding, to stroking his hair, to a simple brush of the arms or legs, he loves them all. He wasn't held as a kid.
Draco, on his bad days, cannot stand to be touched. Sometimes even being in the same room with other people makes things worse. Every touch reminds him of Voldemort. It's hard for Harry because his first instinct is to wrap the boy in his arms and protect him from the memories. He's learned, through watching you though, that just sitting beside him (a few feet away) is all it takes; just enough to let him know you're there when he's ready. So Harry goes and makes tea, sets it where Draco can reach, and moves to the other side of the room to wait.
4. Words of Affirmation
Draco loves praise and encouragement and nicknames and even notes hidden in his pockets letting him know he's loved. It's better than all the times Lucius told him his work was halfway decent combined. So you and Harry take every opportunity to somether him with love, kindness, and affirmation.
Harry has days where any noise will set him off (especially loud bangs or voices even if they aren't angry or directed at him). He has noise cancelling headphones and multiple playlists on standby for whenever things get too loud. It's hard for Draco to not give in and tell Harry how much he's loved, or that those memories are from the past and can't hurt him anymore. But he's seen the way you just hold Harry's head to your chest, stroking his hair and letting him feel the rhythm of your breathing. Often, he comes and cuddles up behind Harry; nesting him in from both sides so he knows how much he's loved.
5. Acts of Service
You do all these things for your boys. You let Harry take you on dates and let Draco walk you to and from work. You praise Draco and snuggle with Harry. You stay with them on their bad days and rejoice with them on their good days. You would walk through hell and back to keep smiles on their faces.
And on your bad days, when you don't feel like you're enough. When you just want to give up and let the world go on without you; they're there for you too, and they make sure you know that they always will be.
