Harry met the kiss already grinning, seeming to exist in a constant state of anticipation of Draco's affections. He hadn't realised just how much he needed this, this sense of being cared for, finding that the day at the Ministry had quickly unraveled him at the edges, he had spent the last week redrawing.<br/>He met the kiss with a gentle touch, his hand leaving Draco's thigh in favour for his cheek, fingers barely brushing the line of his jaw.<br/>"Robards wants me to get my evaluations redone," Harry breathed into the narrow space between them when their lips parted counting on the softness between them to soften the harsh reality of his words. Harry had barely been able to stomach it himself, and although he desperately needed Draco to know, too, he wasn't sure he could bear seeing his reaction, either.<br/>Hand skipping a few inches aside, Harry kissed Draco's cheek, a distraction rather than an invitation.  "I did my physical today, and I have an appointment with a Mind Healer tomorrow."
