POV
After your first date, you & your favorite
Slytherin boy spent all your time together.
You know you're falling in love, but...
Who's gonna say it first, you or him?
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
Draco Malfoy
✦ YOU ✦
would say it first
And here's why...
✦ draco is actually really insecure
✦ he was raised to believe that "emotion is a weakness"
✦ not wanting to get hurt, he'd rather wait than get his heart trampled on
✦ he needs reassurance that you feel it too
✦ since he's never had that type of relationship before, he literally *needs* to hear it from you first
✦ his family isn't big on "love" and "talking about feelings"
✦ all this is pretty new to him
✦ he feels like he can't trust himself
✦ he might not believe you the first time you say it
✦ but after a while, he begins to trust you...
✦ and eventually, he will open up, but it'll take time
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
Mattheo Riddle
✦ YOU / HE ✦
would say it first
And here's why...
✦ with mattheo, it's more tricky
✦ he has a really complicated relationship with emotions
✦ after being taught to thrive off revenge and darkness, all he ever wanted was light & love
✦ when he finally finds you, it's like his dreams become reality
✦ BUT...
✦ he isn't sure if he can trust that feeling/ himself
✦ he begins questioning everything
✦ but then again - when you're with him, everything makes sense
✦ so at some point, he knows he needs to confess
✦ he drags it out, analyzing if you seem in love
✦ there's a 50/50 chance who gives in first
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
Theodore Nott
✦ HE ✦
would say it first
And here's why...
✦ theo's first "i love you" wasn't planned-
✦ after only ever being in so called situationships...
✦ the bond he has with you is completely new to him
✦ all these emotions, the feelings...
✦ sometimes he doesn't know how to handle them
✦ theo is very impulsive, and one day you're fighting and it just... slips OUT of his mouth
✦ it's what you'd call an 'angry love confession'
✦ he knows that he's fallen in love with you but he was trying to hide it
✦ he felt like you were moving too quickly and it kind of scared him
✦ but the moment you say it back - and he can tell that you genuinely MEAN it - he feels like the luckiest person in the entire world
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
Lorenzo Berkshire
✦ HE ✦
would say it first
And here's why...
✦ enzo is probably the healthiest communicator out of the boys
✦ he isn't afraid to show his feelings
✦ after only 2-3 weeks, it dawns on him that he's in love
✦ he keeps it to himself for a little while-
✦ wants to make sure it's *really* how he feels
✦ but the moment he's certain of it, he's planning how to tell you the news
✦ (he'll make it pretty romantic)
✦ once said, he'll tell you all the time that he loves you
✦ you always know where you stand with him
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
Pansy Parkinson
✦ YOU ✦
would say it first
And here's why...
✦ pansy still has to come to terms with herself
✦ she never wanted a real relationship
✦ (more like a 'friends with benefits' situation)
✦ but she knows it escalated - you both caught feelings
✦ she'll try to fight them though
✦ it's gonna take a long time for her to admit how she feels - even to herself
✦ she doesn't want a relationship like her parents so...
✦ she's very scared to open up & let someone in
✦ you'll say "i love you" again and again...
✦ and when she finally says it - it means she fully trusts you,
✦ (even though she is still very much afraid of what you could do to her)
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
Tom Riddle
✦ YOU ✦
would say it first
And here's why...
✦ you can be lucky if tom EVER says "i love you"
✦ you will have to say it *many* times before he will
✦ he's gonna be in denial for a long time
✦ love was not something he ever wanted/ searched for
✦ he believes "to love is to be weak"
✦ and he doesn't want to create another weakness in his life
✦ but when he finally says the 3 little words...
✦ it will mean absolutely EVERYTHING.
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
Question of the day:
What would YOU do - would you
say "ILY" first, or wait for him to say it?
