I think the reason I like this so much is because you make it how I love post-[during?]-war fic. Harry doesn't really care about much, because he's lost so much and he can't afford to care anymore. Malfoy isn't exactly evil, but he isn't exactly good, either -- and they don't necessarily like each other, but they probably need each other more than they realize.
“If I was blind I would still see you.”
I love that line, because I think it suits Draco perfectly. He's always aware of Harry; he's obsessed with him. Whether it's with beating him, or... well, beating him, really, if you want to go purely canon, but of course, I don't go purely canon. :P But Draco's life may not exactly revolve around Harry...but it comes damn close, you know? He has to be better than Harry. He has to prove himself, with Harry always as the guideline somehow. Smarter, faster, luckier -- he strives to surpass Harry. And because he never quite can, Harry is always there in his mind and in his life.
And I love the end of this. Because it seems, to me, to be exactly that sort of thing I like -- they don't love each other, but maybe they don't quite hate each other, either.
...this was supposed to be more coherant, wasn't it? Instead, it's just more babbly. Sorry about that, love. ::hugs::
