For a moment, Harry felt like he was about to burst with joy. It must have been the drastic difference between what Harry had expected and what Draco had actually wanted to say, but the mix of giddy excitement and relief washed over him far before he could even begin to process what Draco was actually asking him. For a heartbeat, Harry was overcome with how fundamentally enticing that word was to him.<br/>Then, everything Draco<span style="font-style: italic">hadn't</span>said hit Harry like a ton of bricks, that immediate glimmer in his eyes giving way for a look of genuine uncertainty.<br/>The implication that Draco didn't want anything to change except was they called each other was absolutely dizzying, making it hard to distinguish fully when they had turned that corner and actually started acting as a full fledged couple. Up until that moment, Harry wouldn't have thought that distinction mattered, but then and there, he found there to be a tremendous difference between dating Draco and being in a relationship with him.<br/>"Oh," Harry exhaled, nothing much to his voice other than surprise. He barely registered speaking, only doing so to fill the dead silence between them.<br/>While Harry knew he himself had agreed to<span style="font-style: italic">temporary long distance</span>, everything seemed far more daunting with months of tour looming above of them. Especially Draco's phrasing seemed to stick with Harry, dizzy at the prospect of Draco referring to Harry as<span style="font-style: italic">anything</span>, to<span style="font-style: italic">anyone</span>.<br/>"We can continue like this, yeah," he said, tentatively. Harry's intentions were genuine; he whole-heartedly wanted to continue seeing Draco like this, even if that meant ignoring the fact that they would have to be apart. The phrasing, however, was intentional, carefully wanting to uncover how important a label actually was to Draco.
