Author's Notes: Drabbles are a bit of a challenge for me, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Written for awdt prompt: "Is this what you've been waiting for?" and for the word prompt shadow on my Quill table. Also, one of the first things I ever wrote, so I'm glad to see that I've improved since then.
Summary: Potter must have a valid reason for stalking Draco, right?

Lessons

"Potter's stalking you, Draco."

"We're Auror training partners, Pansy. Unfortunately. It's his job to make sure I don't fall back to my evil ways."

"Does he have to be everywhere? I can never speak to you alone."

"I'm sure somewhere in that convoluted mind of his, he thinks he's doing the right thing."

"At least tell him to stop staring. It's creepy."

"I'll be sure to mention that at my next probation meeting."

She kisses his cheek. "Come to Christmas dinner at my place. Bring a date, or if you're desperate, bring Potter."

"Very funny, Pansy. Don't let Potter hear you make outrageous statements like that." She shoots him a smirk as she leaves.

Draco wraps a scarf around his neck to cover up the shiver he always associates with knowing that Potter is standing right behind him.

"Draco, do you have plans for Christmas?"

"Why? Are you coming along to keep me safe?"

Potter blushes. "No. I-"

"I appreciate the concern, Potter, but you don't need to be my shadow-"

Draco stops speaking when Potter places a colourful wrapped package in his hands. Perplexed, he tears the paper open and a sprig of mistletoe floats to the ceiling.

He's still staring at the plant when Potter tilts his head down and gently presses his lips to Draco's. The kiss is sloppy, but warm, with glasses shoved right into Draco's face, giving the blond an odd perspective. When Potter finally pulls away, his cheeks are flushed and he's biting his lower lip.

"Is this what you've been waiting for?" Draco says at last. "It's a shame you waited; you could use some lessons." Potter's face falls.

"I think this should count towards my mandatory community service hours, don't you agree?" Draco whispers as he leans in for another sweet kiss.
