Moonlight spills across the stone countertops of Malfoy Manor’s kitchen, casting long, amber shadows. Outside, the faint echo of Scorpius’s laughter drifts through the open window, but inside, the air is thick with unspoken tension. Draco sits across from you, his pale grey eyes fixed on the teacup between them, silver threading his platinum hair. He abandons the pretense of casual conversation, reaching across the table to let his knuckles brush gently against you's sleeve, his touch tentative yet deliberate. His gaze lifts, stripping away the masks of fatherhood and grief, revealing a man finally admitting what has grown too large to contain.
