"Do you regret this?" He asked in that deep voice he knows that Harry loves. That humbly yet demanding tone of his.
"No" Replied Harry with a blush turning to look at him seated on the bed he was laying on.
"Are you really happy here?" He asked again when he saw Harry's focus on him. His lips in particular.
"Sometimes" Answered Harry truthfully with a sad smile then looking up to him, wishing to tell him everything he felt at the moment through that gaze alone because, he didn't know how to tell his feelings. But, Harry knew that he could always hear his silence.
"Is it enough?"
"Only in those times"
"I'm sorry, I put you through all of this" He said going for a hug so he could hide his face from reality. He blamed it all on himself. If only....
"I know you are but, I'm not sorry being here with you. Do you know why?" Whispered Harry in his ears with a smile, slipping his long fingers into the boy's fingers mischeviously. He knew what he was doing to him.
"Why?" He whispered back shaken from too much tension between them and very curious to hear Harry's answer even though he knew the answer already.
"Because, I'm nothing but myself with you" Replied Harry sincerely nuzzling his side of the face making him grunt.
"I'm yours" He said with a deep voice, the kind that he knew was what makes Harry go wild and crazy, "The good, the bad and in-between... all of that is me is yours"
"I know... And I'm still looking for ways to appreciate that fact" Whispered Harry before he kissed his cheek tenderly and his shoulder.
"I love you, Harry"
"I love you, Brown"
Dont get it twisted here, it wasn't a fairytale story nor was it a romantic one. It was their reality and the problem about reality stories is that they hit different from a person to a person. It just depends on the will of the people playing the parts most of the time but, the story is always the same.

"Aren't you going to college today?" Asked Brown when he saw Harry opening his eyes in tiny and stretching himself beautifully on the bed.
"That's so creepy, dude" Commented Harry when he saw Brown seated on the chair, staring intently at him. He wasn't surprised by that because, Brown loves watching Harry sleep.
"Don't you have classes today?" Brown asked him again, ignoring his usual comment on his behavior.
"Not now, boy" Replied Harry turning to the other side so he could sleep some more, "I got a late in the afternoon class today so, I'm just going to take my time lazing around this bed for a long while"
"Oh"
"Why? You want to get me over your lap, Mr. Jackass?" Inquired Harry, teasing Brown so early in the morning like he always do and Brown didn't fail to play along with a cute, needy, pouty nod as a reply to Harry.
"Look at you being cheeky so early in the morning!" Said Harry with a laugh coming to a sitting position just so he can slap Brown on his thigh, "Don't you have work to do?"
"I do but... I missed you" Replied Brown playing with Harry's ear absentmindedly, "My life immunity dosage"
"Stop being so dramatic! We see each other on every other night!" Dismissed Harry with a roll of his eyes but, he'd be damned if he wasn't feeling the butterflies.
"It's not enough for me... I'd rather live in your eyes" Said Brown casually before he smirked at Harry's blushing face
"Is there a part of me you don't want to live in?"
"Yes, there is"
"Where?"
"In the parts where you'd come to hate me"
"There's nowhere like that in me"
"I love you. I need you. Harry,... Don't ever leave me alone" Said Brown in all the seriousness he could muster while hugging Harry tightly on the bed.
"I'm not gonna make promises I can't keep, Brown" Said Harry seriously looking into his eyes, "...But, please trust that I'll always be one call away for you"
"Always?"
"As long as you need me, I'm gonna be here with you" Replied Harry with a smile, showing off his boxy smile to comfort Brown who was on pins for days.
Two people with no one and nothing else in the world than each other facing off the world. Can their story ever have a happy ending?.
