Notes: All the thanks to my betas for putting up with this ridiculous story. Also, though the story and the title focus on Draco's life, it's almost entirely told by Harry's point of view. Dear Prompter, I hope you like what I did with your request and I tried to stay as true to it as much as it was possible.
Summary: At the age of seventeen, Harry finds himself falling in love with a detached Draco Malfoy. Through a series of unfortunate miscommunications and gossip, he had a bad falling out (of love), too. Now, years later, can Harry make amends about a misunderstanding? Would Draco forgive him?
