~ soft smut ~

Savanna walks into my room, with tears streaming down her face. Her cheek is red beneath her hand.

She wraps her arms around me, sniffling and catching her breath.

"I'm never enough." she says.

I shake my head, "No. No you're perfect."

"Not to her."

The only things I can't give Savanna is her mothers approval, and safety from Tom. And it kills me.

"Look at me." I tell her, taking her face in my hands and rubbing her red cheek with my thumb.

"You are my beautiful, smart, amazing, caring, loving, thoughtful, courageous, beautiful, incredible girl." I say.

She laughs, "You said beautiful twice."

I smile because I see her smile.

"Now you know I really mean it." I hug her again.

"Draco." she says, pulling away. "Kiss me."

I'm hesitant because she's still crying.

I hold her face gently, and lean down. When I press my lips against hers, she grabs my hair on the back of my head to keep me kissing her.

She breaks the kiss, "I wasn't really asleep on the train. I thought it would be better to close my eyes. I heard you talk to me."

She studies at me for a moment, "Pretend with me."

I pick her up onto my feet and hold her close to me, and we dance.

We pretend everything is okay, and for a moment it feels that way.

Savanna got tired after I while so I tucked her into bed.

Once she drifted to sleep, I get out of the bed next to her. I take off my shirt and an idea pops into my head.

Part of me wants to follow through with that idea, but another part of me wants to let her sleep.

It is the middle of the night.

But I just want to see her smile again.

I position myself on top of her, keeping myself up on my elbows.

I kiss her forehead, and then her cheeks.

This is when she wakes up.

"Merry Christmas precious angel."

I hear her giggle, but I don't stop kissing her.

I kiss all over her face and then I sneak a playful one onto her neck.

"It tickles." she laughs.

"What does?"

She brings a hand up to my face and her fingers move up my jawline, "Your stubble."

I'm due to shave.

I grin and kiss her neck some more.

She starts the laugh and try to push me away but I don't want to stop because I love the sound of her laughing.

"Go shave." she giggles.

"Only because I love you." I say, kissing her forehead.

I head to my bathroom, and Savanna pops up and follows me.

I grab some shaving cream in my hands and put it on my face.

Savanna walks in and hugs me. She doesn't say anything, she just hugs me.
