Harry arrived home on Hallowe'en in his usual sombre mood. Though he didn't actually mourn the loss of his parents, the day still served as a reminder of all that he had lost.

"Harry, would you come into the kitchen for a moment?" Draco called.

"Sure." Harry made his way into their kitchen to see a tray of caramel apples sitting on the counter.

"What's that?" he asked.

"Caramel apples, obviously," Draco replied with a roll of his eyes. "Last Hallowe'en you mentioned how you'd always wanted one, but that Dudley never left any for you. I thought it was high time you had your own." He grinned. "There's one for each of the wretched years you spent there on this day."

Sure enough, Harry counted ten apples on the tray. "I can't believe you remembered that," he said, Draco's thoughtfulness overwhelming him.

"I remember all the important things."

Harry took his boyfriend in his arms and snogged him until they were both breathless. "Thank you."

Draco grinned. "You know," he said, eyes twinkling mischievously, "the first batch didn't turn out so well."

"No?"

"No. The caramel was just a bit too runny."

"Oh?"

"Mm-hmm. But I couldn't let it go to waste." Draco waggled his eyebrows and led the way out of the kitchen and in the direction of their bedroom, motioning for Harry to follow. "I'm not much for apples myself. I'd much rather have a caramel-coated Harry."

Now that's enough to make a person forget their Halloween depression!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Mmmm ... caramel ... mmm ... Harry.

*licks*

[oldenuf2nb.livejournal.com]

Lovely! I'm guessing the sheets are going to be really sticky... wait, that didn't sound right! *g*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Eek! Thank goodness for magic, hmm? :D

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

Ohh very nice and everything will be yummy and sticky.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yummy. Definitely yummy.

[lire-casander.livejournal.com]

Oh, the suggestion and the imaginery!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! I'm sure they'll have lots of fun.

[sassy-cissa.livejournal.com]

mmmmm....caramel-coated Harry.

*happy sigh*

Adorable story and lovely image!

♥

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Mmm ... second only to whipped-cream-coated Harry. *nods*

[absynthedrinker.livejournal.com]

Harry handcuffed to a showerhead and coated in caramel. Now that's an image I can live with.

Peace,
Bubba

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hmm ... those handcuffs bring forth an even more delicious image. Thanks! ;)

[absynthedrinker.livejournal.com]

Always my great pleasure to aid in the effort,

Peace,

Yummy.

I love waggly eyebrows. ;)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Waggly eyebrows are a favourite of mine. :D

[beatnikspinster.livejournal.com]

Haha! Yum!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Definitely yum. *licks*

[drgaellon]

Silly Draco... you just didn't cook it long enough.

Pssst... "wretched." "Retched" is the past tense of "retch" = "puke."

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I suspect he set it aside with something else in mind. ;)

Heh. *facepalm* Now there's a typo that really changes things, hmm? Not sure how I missed that one, but thanks for picking up on it. :D

[libby-drew.livejournal.com]

Caramel-coated Harry! *licks lips*

This was adorable, darling.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yeah ... 'cause it's your LIPS that you'll be licking! Riiiiiight!

Thanks, hon.

[libby-drew.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

My secret's out! ;-p

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Penis!

[alaana-fair.livejournal.com]

MMM.... I'll have a caramel-coated Draco, too, please. :-)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Big shocker, there!

Somehow I suspect that Draco will get covered in the process as well. ♥

[lexywrites.livejournal.com]

yummy.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*licks lips*

[jennybliss.livejournal.com]

That sounds yummy!!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Mmm ... caramel-coated Harry. *eyes glaze over*

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

"I'm not much for apples myself. I'd much rather have a caramel-coated Harry."

Oh my. Draco and me? ONE mind!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I'm with you there, hon.

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

Draco is so devious. Hee! Thanks for writing for the Pots n Porn prompt!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

But sweet too. ♥

Mah pleasure, hon.

[raglek.livejournal.com]

Oooh yes! I'd rather Draco have a carmel-coated Harry as well.

Yummy that put very pretty pictures in my head.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Mmmm ... Harry always looks pretty - and sexy - in my head. *nods*

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Man. NOW I WANT CARAMEL APPLES. ^_____^

This is very sweet and touching! I think I find it most tender when Draco's actions speak for what he feels. He can snark all he wants, but it's when he reaches out in a seemingly innocuous manner to do something like this... that's when it really gets me. Thanks for a very nice ficlet.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon.

Yeah, he may have made light out of it, but it was all from the heart. *squishes him*

[enablelove.livejournal.com]

Awww Draco you're so sweet! :D

mmhmm a caramel-coated Harry how lovely ;)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I think Harry's maybe sweeter now that he's covered in caramel. *g* But yeah, Draco is very sweet to make them for Harry.

Yummy Harry!

[svgurl.livejournal.com]

Awww! Draco is just so sweet. I love him remembering what Harry said. :D

And the end was lovely. I'm sure he would rather have a caramel-coated Harry. Who wouldn't? ;D

Great work! :)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Mmm ... I know I'd love a caramel-coated Harry. ;)
