I really enjoyed reading this.

The imagery was wonderful and Draco's difficult decision as to whether to confide in Blaise is beautifully written.

Wonderful little fic!

[ideare]

i figured that he'd want to tell someone about everything he was going through, especially someone who might be able to help him with it on a daily basis, but at the same time he'd be too kind-hearted to make them go through what he was going through.

thank you! i'm glad you enjoyed it.

I too liked how Draco was written, having to deal with a heavy burden the best he can, and also how you wrote Blaise, innocent yet understanding. I loved the quote at the beginning, I do believe real love doesn't have to mean turmoil!
And I don't know if it was your intention, but some sentences really sounded to me like they there was something really hot going on:
It's a tantalising tease, not providing him with any real release, and he almost wants to cry from the lack of satisfaction he's getting from this.
Draco shivers and increases his speed.
gentle, but firm, applying just the right pressure to provide Draco with the relief he has otherwise been unable to get.
There is a microsecond where Blaise hesitates before he uses the edge of the sleeve of his nightshirt to wipe away the remaining wetness.
LOL
I also very much liked the last sentence. Well done!

[ideare]

lol! it wasn't intentional, but when i read it back, i thought it might sound suspicious.
thank you for the comment!

I love the picture this paints of such a difficult time for Draco; I really feel for him, really get him. He's in such a hard place and you've really captured that. Well done!

[ideare]

sometimes i forget that they're all just kids when all these things were happening to them.
thank you for the comment!

I'm sorry it took me so long to get to reading this, but this was beautiful!! I'm such a sap for sixth year, depressing, Draco-is-still-a-Death-Eater Blaise/Draco, so thank you so so much for indulging me with that! The quote at the beginning was so perfect, and (I think) so very true. I also love that it feels like so much was said about how they feel about each other in so few words and such fairly innocent interaction.

Stunning, well done! Again, thank you soooo much!! <333

i'm so glad you liked this! i went through so many different ideas and pairings that i had almost 3,000 words of half-started fics on my laptop before i finished this one.

you're very very welcome! ♥

I loved that Draco was so desperate that he tried Muggle methods. Blaise's innocence is wonderfully written here. I do like to think though that Blaise continues to help Draco out by relieving him of some of his tension ❤

[ideare]

there's a reason for that other than just desperation. see, my theory is that the dark mark is made with magical/enchanted ink that takes a few weeks to settle. before those weeks are up, any magic used on it will be excruciatingly painful and make it difficult for the mark to work properly. the mark will also assume that you're trying to remove it, and it'll send an alert to the person who gave you the mark. so muggle methods are really the only safe way to go.

from all that i've heard about boarding schools, it's very very likely he will.

thank you for the comment!
