gurliemoviegeek's birthday prompt of "The boys at the beach." It also fits the
slythindor100 valentine challenge #1 - a picture of a floating bed, and
hd_fluff's January challenge - "travelling", and my
10_themes prompt #1 - "Beach".
Summary: Harry and Draco enjoy a leisurely vacation.
Warning: Extreme fluff; schmoop. You may need to visit a dentist after reading. You have been warned.

Harry and Draco lay comfortably atop their floating bed. It was actually more of a padded disk suspended by rope, inside a pillared structure resembling a gazebo. They had had some fun trying to get onto the thing at first, but once they mastered the technique, they had realized that it was, in fact, quite comfortable.
The view was breathtaking. They looked out over the rolling hills and down at the scattering of homes below. On the other side they faced the ocean, with its white sandy beach that went on for miles. They had spent the last few evenings lying atop the bed, breathing in the fresh ocean air, content to be in each other's presence without needing words to fill the silence.
"Draco?"
"Hmm?"
"Fancy a walk?"
"Sure. Where were you thinking?"
"Along the beach. The sun is low in the sky, and I'd like to take in the sunset while we walk."
Draco couldn't get over just how romantic his boyfriend was. For all the strength and courage he possessed, he really was sweet inside. Draco adored that about Harry, but he wasn't going to tell him that. He was just too cute to watch, wearing his heart on his sleeve, yet still so shy about expressing his love in words. Draco rolled over to give Harry a slow, tender kiss.
"I'd love to take in the sunset with you. Besides, after all the eating and lazing about we've done over the past few days, we could use the exercise."
"Oh, I don't know," Harry said cheekily. "We've been getting in some marathon exercise sessions too."
Draco chuckled. "Too true." He manoeuvred his way off the bed and held his hand out to help Harry. "Nevertheless, I like to stay fit. Keeps you on your toes."
Harry smacked his bum playfully and they set off just as the sun began its descent, and the sky began to turn a hazy shade of orange. They twined their hands together, walking barefoot along the cooling sand.
"You know, I've been thinking," Harry said.
"Careful, you might hurt yourself," Draco teased.
"Ha ha, very funny. No, really, we should do this every year."
"You mean a vacation, just the two of us?"
"Yeah. I've really enjoyed getting away from everything, being completely out of touch. It's made me appreciate what we have even more."
"How so?"
"I've never been able to just ... be. You know, without trying to do something or act a certain way. With you I'm just me."
"Surely you're that way with Ron and Hermione too?"
"No, not really. Besides the obvious, I couldn't do with them what I do with you. I couldn't just sit back and enjoy. I guess you could say I feel at peace when I'm with you."
"You're getting all sappy on me, Harry."
He stopped walking and turned to face Draco, grasping his free hand. "I'm only sappy with you because I'm not afraid to be. You may tease me, but I know inside you love that I'm like this with you ... only with you."
Draco wasn't sure why he had held back before now. "You're right. I do love that about you. In fact, there's not much that I don't love about you."
Harry's smile shone brighter than the sun had moments before it started to set. It lit up his eyes, his face, and Draco's heart. "Dance with me, Harry."
"But there's no music," Harry protested.
"Sure there is, if you listen carefully."
They wrapped their arms around each other and began swaying to the beat of their hearts. The sun turned from orange to red to rust and finally faded away beyond the horizon, leaving just a silhouette of two forms embracing and kissing as though their love was the only light in the world, the only light they'd ever need.

And thanks for the encouragement. I can occasionally put something decent on paper, but it doesn't come naturally very often. I'm more of a "The place was so large, he was sure he could fit his entire house into the foyer" kind of person than a "The sheer enormity of the structure overwhelmed him, as though it had a life of its own, crushing down upon him with its awe-inspiring vastness" kind of writer.

OH MY GOD! You got in all those prompts and still managed to get the boys dancing for me??? OH MY GOD!
*flails and cries tears of joy*
Will you marry me, Sesheta??? I am so in love with you right now!!!
I can't believe how perfect this was! Absolutely beautiful! I don't even know how to thank you. So, I'll just say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
*big giant squishy hugs*

I'm so glad you liked it. I know you asked for the beach, and I know you're a sucker for the boys dancing (whether you asked for it or not), so I had the picture in mind right away. The other prompts actually just happened to fit in.
And whoa on the schmoop, huh? Where did that imagery and sappiness come from? My Valentine-jaded mind took the night off, I suppose. Hee. I'm glad it wasn't too schmoopy for you. :)
Oh, and be careful what you ask for. Same-sex marriage is legal in this country, remember? Heh. But relax ... once bitten ... I'm not the marrying type any more.
I'm just thrilled at your reaction. *big squishes*

And of all days, I agreed to meet the ladies from the office for lunch tomorrow! Gah! I requested no discussion of the evil day, and one of them is single like me, so there's always hope. I just seriously hope there aren't a bunch of romantic things kicking around the office. Crap! I'll bet there will be flowers and cards and ... *gags* Maybe I'll meet them at the restaurant. Thankfully not Madame Puddifoot's. ;)
Have as good a day as you can, sweetie! *hugs*

Thanks, hon. As I wrote the last part, I thought, "Gah, this is really sappy," and I don't normally write (or like) too too sappy stuff unless a prompt really pushes it, which this one didn't. I still don't know where all that came from (I guess I'm a closet romantic).

but I know inside you love that I'm like this with you ... only with you.
I like when they're a certain way only with each other.
