Summary
Draco couldn't breathe, not when a sea of flames were below him, not when his grip was slowly slipping, not when he knew they were seconds away from falling.

When will I experience tenderness *cries*
Draco.”
His body wracked in shaking, uncontrollable sobs. No, Harry would never do that to him—he would never leave him, not like that—he promised, he swore—
“Love, please.”
Draco gasped out, and everything tilted. The scorching fire that burned his skin was gone, melting into darkness. All white noise blanked out of his head, and all he could feel were steady arms holding him with a familiar sort of gentleness. No one ever did that to him. No one other than …
“Shh, love,” the voice was soft and soothing. “I’m right here. It was just a nightmare.”
The blond looked away in a haze, trying to shut everything out. It was too much—everything was hitting him all at once.
“Open your eyes and look at me, love,” that same voice implored, and Draco did. His eyes fluttered open, shaken and petrified.
“I—I saw you fall, and I couldn’t stop it.” Draco was trembling, his hands fisting the blankets drenched in his own sweat. He felt a tight knot form in his throat, and so suddenly, it was hard to speak. “I couldn’t—I couldn’t pull you up, and you—you just fell and—”
“Hey, hey,” the voice whispered gently, “you saved me, remember?” hands cupped Draco’s face, careful and delicate. Harry. That was Harry holding him, murmuring comfort in his ears, letting him crumble in his arms. “You saved us and got us out of that pit.”
Draco’s shoulders began shaking again, a wetness on his cheeks blooming. Harry brought a rough-palmed hand up to his shroud of blond locks, ruffling his hair before letting the blond bury his face in the crook of his neck—safe. This was what safe felt like.
“Don’t ever do that again.” His voice was muffled by the sound of his quiet sniffles and the shift of velvet blankets. “Please.”
Harry didn’t do anything—he just held him there, rubbing small circles beneath his shirt, mumbling sweet comfort. The blond quivered, his breathing slowing down when he felt a kiss atop his head.
“I promise,” whispered Harry, and somehow, Draco knew it was enough.
