“I really don’t know how they became so grown up,” Potter said, quietly. Draco wouldn’t call what they were doing cuddling per se but there was a definite element of comforting physical contact. He had his head tucked on Potter’s shoulder, and was stretched out in the space next to him. His head on Potters shoulder was their only real point of contact, but Potter was trailing slow fingers through Draco’s hair, by his ear. “Well, you idiot, time passes, and they grow bigger and get personalities and so on and so forth,” Draco tried to ignore the indulgent way Potter was smiling at him. “What did you think, they would stay children forever?” “You’re right,” Potter sighed, staring myopically up at the bed canopy. Potter’s face without glasses had become so familiar to Draco, enough that he associated it with these quiet moments, when they were close enough that he didn’t need his glasses to see. “I will have to stop sleeping with you though,” Draco announced, “when you become a grandfather. It’s not good for my reputation.” “I see,” Potter said. His fingertips didn’t stop moving, just little whisper touches to the edge of Draco’s ear, the hair curled around it. Draco shivered. “Will you trade me up for a younger model?” “Absolutely,” Draco said, and realized as he said it that he never, ever would. It was like a great big strike of lightning, sudden enough to make him flinch. He didn’t want to trade Potter in – he wouldn’t even consider it. Potter laughed, he hadn’t noticed, and rolled over to kiss Draco on the forehead, smiling through it.
