Harry so desperately needed to say that while Harry had split up with Dante<span style="font-style: italic">because</span>of Draco, but not necessarily<span style="font-style: italic">for</span>Draco; not saying it didn't feel fair to Draco, like Harry once again was putting too much pressure on his roommate. However, any capability to say that Harry didn't<span style="font-style: italic">need</span>this completely disappeared the moment Draco's hands were on his face.<br/>How easily he gave into the touch even surprised Harry himself. He had been so prepared to go without Draco, if the other so decided, but right then and there, Harry was certain he wouldn't actually survive that.<br/>Even though Draco paused, giving Harry a way out, Harry didn't pause to think. Stretching to meet the kiss half way with such desperation that, had it not been for Draco's hands on his person, he might have lost his balance. It was only then that Harry's hands gripped Draco's waist, as if even their proximity to one another was secondary to the fact that Draco still wanted to kiss Harry; whatever that might entail.
