TRIGGER WARNING!! (references of domestic abuse and violence)
DRACO's POV
"Because...that's before i fell for you"
...
It's out there now.
Fuck.
...
I was in denial for a long time.
I've noticed her for a long time.
The Little things.
...
We both hated each other.
So, what do you expect?
Me to go up and talk to her?
Yeah no way.
Even before i walked in on her and Hermione making potions.
I knew there was something about her that took my interest.
The only way of getting her attention...was to be a dick to her.
Anger.
I get that reaction out of most people.
I just don't know how to be nice to people.
Being harsh and cold is all i've ever known. It's a coping mechanism i guess.
....
She opened her mouth slightly in shock.
I'm not surprised.
It had been a few moments and she still hadn't said anything.
Shit.
Why did i confess my true feelings to her,
It makes me look weak.
For fuck sake draco.
I couldn't look her in the eyes i was too embarrassed.
"Wh-...i-...fell for me?"
She stuttered.
I looked back up at her glancing at her lips then into her eyes.
"Yes"
I simply replied the honest truth.
"B-but draco, you said this was just a fling ...and you hated me?"
I sighed.
"Y/n we both hated each other at the start...but truthfully i've noticed you for a long time, i was just in denial because my family brought me up to think of you as scum"
She looked hurt by my words.
Shit.
"No-no i don't think of you like that y/n believe me. My father had it wired in my brain that your kind would bewitch and tempt me for all the wrong reasons and that your kind would ruin my life if i come in close contact with you"
She gave me a disgusted but confused look.
"But now i've gotten to know you more than i ever have before...i realised that none of what he had said was true"
A single tear rolled down her cheek.
"Draco- even though your words hurt...i understand your father has been like this for a long time and i feel as though he drags you into a lot of stuff that you don't want to get involved in."
I fell silent.
I looked away from her, sighed and sat on the edge of her bed.
I ran a hand through my hair.
"You know, you can talk to me...you may not want to... and i understand because we're not close and.."
She trailed off and sat down on the bed next to me.
I glanced over at her.
She looked sympathetic.
It was almost...nice.
Relieving...actually.
Y/N POV
He looked sad.
Like really devastated.
Maybe i went to far?
Maybe i shouldn't of mentioned his father.
I know for a fact that his father hasn't treat him right in the past.
Truthfully, behind that cold and harsh layer... he is a broken and warm/loving boy wanting and is in dire need of love and affection.
I get why he is the way he is.
The dark lord manipulated draco's family.
he has been mistreated and completely miss-understood.
I put my hand on his shoulder and he looked over at me then looked back down at the floor.
"It's complicated"
He coldly replied.
"I-i'm sorry...i was just trying to help."
I gently removed my hand from his shoulder and he suddenly got defensive.
Out of nowhere.
"Trying to help? You're sympathy doesn't help. So don't bother again"
He said harshly and stood up quickly heading for the door.
I was confused and upset.
I was just trying to be there for him?
He was fine with me 2 seconds ago.
Kissing me softly and passionately.
Apologising to me...
What happened?
Did i do something wrong?
He left me alone and upset in my room.
....
Fuck this i'm going after him.
I've done nothing wrong.
....
I quickly followed behind him calling his name.
I came up next to him and he stopped.
"Hey, please stop for one minute. please."
"What do you want"
He looked stressed and upset.
"Please, just come back and talk to me. I'm sorry i didn't know my words would affect you this way...i just wanted to be there for you... that was all. I just want to get to know you more, if you liked me like you said you do, you would come back and talk to me"
I put my hand to his cheek lightly and stroked my thumb against his defined cheekbone.
He looked into my eyes...scanning my desperate face.
He sighed
"Please"
I whispered.
He looked down at me in awe and brought his index finger to my bottom lip and traced the outline of it again and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.
He was so beautiful.
I melted from his touch.
I took my hand away from his face gently and grabbed his hand.
He looked down and smiled...he held my hand in his and replied softly with.
"Okay darling"
And with that...we went back to my room and went over to my bed.
I sat down on my bed and tapped the red satin covers next to me to imply for him to sit down.
He saw my indication and gesture and came and sat next to me.
"Y/n- look- i'm sorry... i just hate talking about my family...i've never opened up about it, even to blaise"
He put his warm hand on the top of my thigh and stroked it with his thumb.
He looked hurt.
"It's okay, i understand."
I looked down and nodded.
Feeling useless to him.
I felt his eyes burning on me.
Watching my every move.
I glanced up at him and he gave me a empathetic look.
"Why did you break up with harry?"
That came out of nowhere.
But he asked me it seriously.
I started to stutter.
"Erm-well- he was a nasty piece of work...we don't need to go into it"
He looked at me concerned.
But angry.
"What did he do?"
I ran a hand through my hair.
I was stressing.
This felt like an interrogation.
"Can we just not talk about it...he broke me and that's it. It's not that important"
"Did he try and hurt you? Because he was going to hit you earlier if i didn't step in"
I stayed silent.
He turned to face me and gently moved my face with his hand to face him.
I looked up at him in worry.
"Y/n?"
He looked upset and concerned for me.
"I-i..."
The tension was horrible.
"Yes"
Draco's face had completely dropped.
His emotions changed like a switch.
He was....absolutely fuming.
No.
In fact....
If looks could kill...i'd already be dead by the look he had on his face.
Hatred.
Pure hatred for harry was written all over his face.
"That fucking bastard. Mark my words y/n."
"I'm going to kill him"
God help harry.
...
