The Decoration Disaster

Prompt Day 1- Holiday Decorating 

Harry peeked at the list once again and sighed in satisfaction upon realizing there’s only one thing left to buy and so without delay he entered the last shop. 

“ Christmas shopping huh ?” The shopkeeper smiled at him when he was billing his item. 

Harry nodded smiling knowing the man saw his other bags “ You know how it can be” 

“ Tell me all about it kid, been doing it for 30 years ” He chuckled and handed him his items and Harry left the store after wishing him a good day and a good christmas. 

He walked back down the streets, nowhere else to go but home. Christmas was probably the one time of the year Harry seemed to enjoy the most now despite of how much he didn’t enjoy it when he was a kid. In his life he had no complaints anymore, infact he have never lived a more merry life, especially now that he was finally settled in a good stable relationship and was infact their first christmas since they moved in together. As they all say when you meet the one, or when you fall in love, everyday seems like another day worth waking upto, he definitely took it seriously. But honestly after everything that Harry had been through he belives he deserved it now more than ever and he was more than Happy to share this holiday time with the man he loves too much. Sounds cliche, I know.

Harry entered his loft aka apartment, and settled the bags down over the kitchen isle and just then the door opened and the love of his life walked in.

" got the tree ?" Harry asked pacing towards him.

" of course" Draco smiled and he pulled Harry closer to himself making Harry circle his arms around his neck, tipping over his toes a little and placing a soft kiss on his nose.

" I missed you today " Harry smiled bumping his nose side by side with Draco as if he was a baby.

" I was only gone for a few hours, so were you. Geez if you can't survive a few hours without me then you'll die the moment I leave you " Draco teased.

" Well you can't leave anymore, because- you're mine " Harry replies placing a kiss over his lips for a short second " and if you'll leave I'll probably die so you know I'd only have to survive a second without you, I can handle that "

" Are you sure ?" Draco teased again.

Harry smiled then kissed him again, properly this time " No " he mumbled and resumed kissing him again.

They Only broke out of their session of making out against the door when the bag of bells and licorice dropped from Draco's hands to the side creating the sonorous sound.

" wow- you really went on it " Draco whispered against his lips.

" well I was giving you an example of what you'd miss if you leave me- so now you can't leave me- ever " Harry replied titling his head and grinning then stepped away and collected the bag from the ground, Draco joining along.

They walked into the kitchen and dropped the bags Draco bought over the counter and started looking briefly through things to make sure nothing was forgotten.

Just as Draco noticed Harry was about to speak up, he spoke up himself " the tree will be delivered, don't worry about it"

Harry shut his lips then smiled " I knew I chose the right man " Draco chuckled over it.

They spent the rest of the hour unpacking the bags and segregating the thing's they had to decorate the house with and the one's to decorate the tree with. After having done the final segregation Harry left to decided to get his toolbox and get started with the decorations.

Apparently decoration wasn't as much of a piece of a cake they assumed it to be because Draco liked all the wreaths to go on one wall but Harry liked one on each wall and since Harry was up on the ladder he could barely keep in mind the aligning of the tinsels they were trying to put in a shape of Christmas tree of and despite the fact that to Draco it seemed fine when Harry got off the ladder, they weren't.

" you said you were looking " Harry sighed

" I was " Draco whined " but your body was blocking half of it- and you know I can't resist looking at your body- so technically it's your fault " he shrugged taking another bite from his chocolate.

" oh put down that chocolate- it's already your fifth one " Harry scrunched his face snatching the box of chocolates away from Draco's hands and tossing them over the kitchen isle.

" again your fault- you bought them " Draco shrugged taking another bite from his chocolate.

Harry could had so easily been mad at him for being distracted instead of helping him out but with a face like Draco and him eating chocolate, the combination of getting mad didn't go so well and instead he started laughing and wrapped his arms around Draco from behind, keeping his chin over Draco's shoulder and kissing the side of his neck. Draco too covered Harry's hands with his own, interlocking their finger's.

" what do you say we don't change this decoration and let it be imperfect?" Harry suggested.

Draco frowned, impressed " I'd say I like that very much- It'll be like our improvised shit Christmas decorations "

Harry laughed " it would be- besides I like it the imperfect way- what matters is that we did it together- well you more than me, you just stood here eating chocolate " he strolled

" hey" Draco sang " I did help you- I didn't try to tackle you down the stairs despite my very very high desires to have you in your grey sweats "

Harry shook his head blushing. Draco still had that affect on him, even after two years but then it wasn't something he ever really complained about, he rather enjoyed it, especially when Draco him blush.

" Can you do the fire place for me ?" Harry asked unwrapping his arms from around Draco's.

" me ? Seriously- I'm not good at it " Draco complained.

" perfect then- we're going the bad way so It works perfectly well " Harry shrugged and 20 minutes later when he came back to check the fire place decoration he knew he was right to think that Draco had a talent of making anything look beautiful.

" thought you'd do it the bad way " Harry teased taking one chocolate out of the box and eating it.

" I did it the bad way first but then if someone comes over and asks who did the bad decorations it'll be easier to blame you- so- you're going down Harry Potter " Draco ended the sentence with a heavy challenging voice which only made Harry laugh harder than he thought possible.

" Baby trust me- that voice sounded like a 5 year old tried to do the monster voice " Harry said between laughs.

Draco rolled his eyes " one day you're gonna regret making fun of that voice- be ready to be scared one of these nights "

" then I'll be sure to sleep with my safety pillow" he still didn't stop laughing and at some point even though Draco tried to be mad he couldn't be so he ended up laughing at himself. But that was them, in their imperfect love bubble and it wasn't so bad after all.

At the end of the day when they had finished decorating the House with lights, garlands and few more tensils they had managed to make their apartment look perfect in their own way which they stored away in a small Polaroid and set it over the fire place.

The apartment had seen many holidays but this, it was the best Holidays that ever happened because after all Christmas isn't about the perfect tree or the perfect decorations or the perfect parties, sometimes it's just about having a few people over and making the best of Memories to carry on in the future.

Day 2 - Man in the Sketch

REQUESTS OPEN

MASTERLIST

Today marks the first day of the HP de-stress December i’ve decided to do. I’ll try to be as regular as possible even if I have to push things aside. I know how things had been lately ( busy ) but because I'm back to feeling slightly motivated. So Here’s to a christmasy December and Great holiday season.

Man in the sketch

Day 2- Butterbeer for @hpdestress December fluff fest

Typical December.

The snowfall outside took on slight of a rage before anyone could have even thought of an aid making them drench in mist and snowfall covering their eyelashes but Harry had been cleverer than the rest and saw it coming. It was typical of December especially around the holiday time to take such a turn but It didn't stop him from spending his afternoon in the Mama bouchè cafe at diagon alley.

" Its snowing pretty strong outside" Merwin, the waiter who was cleaning the table next to Harry said.

" same thing, another year" Harry chuckled.

Merwin nodded knowing he was right " How's the Sketches coming along ?"

Harry titled his head towards him " Honestly I got fed up of doing at home so I'm going to draw here today- sort of typical Before Christmas December here I guess-"

" or you can always draw me " Merwin posed with his right leg behind the left leg and leaning over the table.

Harry softly laughed then shook his head " As good of a poser you are I still have some incomplete works to do"

" Then I'll go back to my boring job" Merwin distastefully nodded then bid his byes.

Harry had known Merwin for long enough now to know that he apparently didn't like his job that much but the money here helped him pay his rent and his college fees which worked hand in hand. And despite that Harry would suggest him to leave often, he would only end the statement with " to get something , you gotta lose something. In this case, I lose my beautiful charm ". Merwin was an absolutely amazing guy but so out of reach for Harry and not because he couldn't date him or had anything wrong but Merwin was a couple years younger than Harry and that made them see each other more as brother-friend's than someone you'd date.

Harry took out from his bags the folders and files and lastly his case of brushes, pens and pencil and began working on his incomplete works. As something once his healer adviced him, to distract himself with something new once, he took it seriously and eventually created more than just a simple hobby for art. Now he drew almost every hour of his day he wasn't working, even on the trains he used to travel. To his friends it seemed a bit frustrating because he spent more time with his Sketchbook than them but at the end of the day, Art made Harry happy no matter how or why, it just did and he was glad that he had at least one thing nobody could take from him.

Halfway through the drawings he was doing, he had craned his neck to straighten his posture up when he looked around the cafe and noticed the guy on the other side of the table, his back facing Harry but there was something about the elegant way he was sitting that he reminded Harry of someone very vividly. The straight posture, elbows over the table and one leg crossed over another reminded him of Someone so strongly yet he couldn't pin who. Before he even knew he was abandoning his works and started a new drawing, of the guy sitting across tables.

Harry's hand worked faster by each second and his finger's running on mile high. His eyes moved from the man to his sketch book too fast that it seemed like he was only catching glimpses until the moment the man's head turned a little and Harry was able to notice the sweet, perfect shape of his nose, the pointed nose and the shape of his lips, very blurred but a peek was enough for Harry that he might be the most handsome man he had ever laid his eyes upon. He stared at him for a little too long and then longer than that, finding himself lost until the man turned again and Harry went back to his Sketchbook and erased the side of the head and started drawing the shape of his nose and small portion of lips he caught his eyes on. He worked very carefully on the miniscule details when suddenly he realised he needed to look again to just notice something but when he raised his head, he was gone.

" This is from the guy you were drawing" Merwin said with a smile and kept the mug of Butterbeer in front of Harry.

" who ?"

" him "Merwin pointed Harry's drawing.

Harry looked at the empty chair again and then sighed, he'd probably never see him again.

" did he say anything else ?" Harry asked

Merwin shrugged " I don't think so, just told me to give you a Butterbeer"

" Do you at least know his name ?" Harry asked

Merwin shook his head, apologising right after.

Harry shook his head too, giving him a smile.

Over the next few days as Harry visited the cafe often, stopped by to ask of that guy, even sat for long hours in hopes to see him again but it didn't happen. All his attempts unfortunately were failing and he couldn't do anything about it until the day when Harry was alone in the cafe and Merwin had taken a loo break when the door chimed and Harry instantly looked up. The man's head was covered in a scarf and hat but he knew it was him, he knew he was the man from the Sketches.

Harry had stared at him as he came and sat down, his back facing him and taking off his hat and the scarf. Harry could swore it was him but he will couldn't see him.

Just one look, one look is all he was asking for.

But as this day Harry started working on the eyes he saw as the man had walked into the cafe he felt the chair on his side being pulled and someone settling down.

" Butterbeer ?" The man smiled.

Harry smiled back " I knew it was you"

" of course it was me" He laughed lightly

" it's always you " Harry mumbled smiling.

" it's always me " he repeated.

" so Butterbeer ?"

" Sure " Harry smiled.
