"Just- just tell me what do you want me to do? I want you to trust me.

I want you to love me like I do to you, but if you don't feel the same, you can stop jerking me around like this. I just don't understand what else I have to do for you to get that I am really serious about you." The look on Draco's face had been pained, lines paving on his forehead and scrunching his eyebrows. The things that a look could say, there were no words for it. But just when Harry had thought that he would never forget that anguished look in his life, he was given a curse and reward both; the strained, breathless notes spoken with such conviction that it almost seemed like a farewell confession. It reminded Harry of that day when Draco had kissed him for the first time and left without a word. There were always confessions at the tip of Draco's casual words, and in his every action. Harry had noticed that; god, did he notice that. He had no solid proof for doubting Draco. Nothing. He had been spying the Slytherin to find a solid evidence using his Invisible Cloak, but he had found nothing. Draco did a very-well placed deception and of course, that was the only thing that really concerned Harry, because he saw himself in the face of Montague, Crabbe, Goyle, Pucey, and every single person Draco ever lied to. He wasn't used to trusting someone with such a skill for hiding the truth and he knew that Draco hid even more from Harry, because Harry wasn't supposed to know or perhaps, suspect that Draco had a big crush on him. Harry had been aware of that since the day Draco Malfoy had kissed him. Things had come to perspective since then, but still, Draco played such a good game of masks that sometimes, Harry was always doubting himself. Draco had fainted after saying what Harry knew all along, and what was the use of all that screaming when it all ended in collapse? Harry had been afraid for himself, but now he knew, the one who needed that shield was the blond Slytherin. It was weird to think that, but after today, he knew that Draco was too broken to break Harry.
