Those words surprised Draco, probably a lot more than they should. Sure, he was extremely fond of Harry and he knew that Harry was fond of him too, but love was such a powerful word and he was frozen while he was comprehending the words. It seemed too good to be true that Harry could love him after what he just showed him, but there he was, admitting his love to him. It was a lot to take in.<br/>"I love you too," he said in a soft voice, as he finally managed to wrap his arms tighter around Harry in a tender hug. While it felt too early to be saying these things to one another, but Draco meant it nonetheless. Harry had been a breath of fresh air in his life and Draco didn't know how he would be able to go on without him; he simply had to hope that it wouldn't become necessary anytime soon.<br/>"But don't just say this because I am feeling bad," he quickly added, suddenly fearing that Harry only felt the need to tell him this because he had just showed him something deeply personal about himself. He wouldn't have been able to handle that. "I don't want that."
