Drifting Away
by Firesword
Harry opened his swollen and bloody eyes and tried to lift his head. He
managed, somehow, and saw the pool of long, silver hair on the
red-streaked ground. "Draco," he whispered.
There was only silence - there was not a whisper of wind even.
His strength was fading but he would not give in, not yet.
Determinedly, he dragged himself up, to be close to his lover, his
guardian, his protector. "Draco..." He reached out and touched the pale
face. "Draco."
His lover's eyes fluttered and they opened. "Harry," Draco's voice was
only a whisper. "I can't - I can't see you. And I'm cold. Harry ... I'm
afraid."
"I'm here," Harry said softly, and rested his head against Draco's
chest. "At least ... we tried."
An arm came up to drape over his back weakly. "We tried," Draco
repeated.
Harry fought against his need to cry but the tears came anyway.
"I love you, Harry."
Draco was drifting away. So was he.
"I love you too, Draco."
"Come with me?"
"I will follow you always."
"Harry, please hold me."
The raven-haired wizard used the last of his strength to lie on his
back and gently pulled Draco into his arms. The way they lay there was
almost as though they were resting on a bed. Harry's cheek was pressed
up against Draco's, and he was murmuring loving words.
Drifting....
He felt Draco's arms slackening around him and he keened softly at his
loss.
Drifting....
Wait for me, love. I'm coming.
He saw his Draco and witnessed how his lover smiled at him.
