"Of course you do, Harry! I'm really happy for you."
"It's been... so wonderful. I wasn't sure I was going to come back. Draco said that we could retire... but..." he looked down the hall. He didn't feel as safe here as he used to, but it was coming back. "...I miss here, too. I miss helping people get better."
"That makes sense. I'm glad you came back, and I'm proud of you, Harry."
He blushed. Though Nat was younger and a warden, she was also more mature than he was. He mumbled a thank you.
"Well, I got your first case: Vanished leg muscle that didn't properly reform. Spell damage couldn't fix it."
Harry sighed. "They're too lazy. Alright... let's go."
Harper dutifully followed, and they went through all of his appointments, calling a few more that were on standby. He saw nine in the first part of the day, but he stopped promptly for his two o'clock lunch and sent Harper off. He went to the jump point and Apparated to Blaise's house at 1:59. Draco opened the front door for him.
"Harry! How was your first day?"
"Good... it was good," he said, leaning in closer for a kiss.
Draco was all too willing to oblige. It was a quick peck, but Harry still blushed every time. Draco did, too, but he also grinned happily.
"Do you want to stay here... or...?"
"Let's go to the café. We can have dinner here. Blaise said that he and Neville need to stay for the welcome fest. He offered me his kitchen... tonight," Harry said, nervously. He really hadn't cooked for anyone in a long time. He had stopped inviting Ron and Hermione over when Grimmauld Place got so messy.
Draco looked at him. "You're making me dinner?"
"Unless... you want to go out?"
"No! No... it sounds lovely, Harry," Draco said, and then they left for lunch. 
Slater greeted them by name and brought ready-made sandwiches and turnovers to them. Draco told Harry about how his exercises were going and that he had made it to 250 meters on the muggle machine, whatever that meant. Harry laughed and congratulated him. Harry filled him in on his first appointments and how Harper and Natalie were pleased to have him back. Harry was just happy that he could see Draco at lunch, though it was shorter.
"We have tonight, Harry... and the next," Draco reassured him. At 2:55, they paid and left. Harry took Draco home and gifted him with another kiss, though a little longer, before Apparating back to St. Mungo's. 
Harry returned to his ward, smiling, knowing that it would work. Their time was a little rushed... but they had tonight, too. 
"Wow... is that a... smile?" 
Harry looked up, broken from his thoughts and saw Joel standing at Nat's empty desk. "Joel!"
"It is a smile... I can guess where you've been," he taunted.
Harry came closer and was uncertain how to greet him, but after an internal dilemma, he opened up his arms and allowed for a hug. Joel seemed surprised but happily accepted it.
"Thank you for everything, Joel," Harry said into Joel's ear before he let go.
"It was nothing, Harry. Though I'm very pleased that you're... getting more... open?"
"Less touch aversion, you mean?" Harry added, dryly.
Joel nodded. "I hope it's also working out for you and Draco."
Harry sighed and shrugged. "We're getting there... slowly."
"Just take your time, Harry. There's no rushing comfort," Joel said.
