"Dating is for people who need to get to know each other better. Act cordial while they hide their true selves from others, I think we're past that. I don't know if we have it in us?"
"To be cordial?"
Malfoy made a face. "I don't want to pretend that everything you say is interesting and laugh at your stupid jokes."
Harry threw his head back and laughed at that. "Look at you, you practically hate me. I don't understand what you want."
"I want to be past the superficial stage," Malfoy said.
"Just jump into bed then?" Harry asked. He had to admit, it didn't sound like a bad idea. Malfoy had never hid his interest in shagging Harry. Now, they had somewhat sorted out their grievances. Malfoy wanted him. He didn't want to pretend to like Harry. He clearly liked Harry - much as a Malfoy could like someone. Clearly.
"You make it sound like it'd be meaningless," Malfoy said and Harry waited. He wasn't ready to give in yet. "Also my friends are mean to you because they know that you keep rejecting me. They don't-we didn't-I didn't know the true reason behind it."
"Is that so?" PART TWENTY THREE
