Right in that moment, Draco was happy that he was already sitting down, uncertain if his legs would have been able to handle the weight of his knees buckling at the compliment. It seemed too intimate,<span style="font-style: italic">too sincere</span>, and yet all Draco wanted was for Harry to say it again, such that he would be able to properly soak in it and let it settle in his mind.<br/>It made the grin already on his lips widen, having felt certain that his day couldn’t possibly get any better, but of course Harry had to go and be so perfectly sweet and sincere to him.<br/>“Thank you,” he said, almost wanting to laugh at it all, unable to stop the happiness that was bubbling up through him, making everything seem so sweet and lovely. It was difficult not to allow himself to believe that maybe Harry could grow to feel more for him than whatever it was that they currently had, easy to believe that this could actually be them falling in love and not just them being comfortable.<br/>He relished the thought.<br/>“Thank you for giving me the chance,” he felt the need to add, knowing that he would have never gotten to where he currently was, had it not been for Harry taking a crazy chance on him.
