Touch Starved

Rich boy mentality

Of course we made our way to Diagon Alley, as a group we all huddled into The Leaky Cauldron and back to the entryway to the alley. You all shuffled into the busy alleyway, staying in a line hands clasping onto one another. You held Molly Weasley on one side, and Draco on the other, and Draco held Ginny's hand on the other side. He was strange to hold her hand at first, you laughed as he wiped his hand on his pants before taking it. You'd think he was getting used to people finally wanting to be around him, but he really wasn't.

You all made your way to the closest clothes shop. You and Draco were pulled apart, Ginny, Molly, Penelope, Fluer, and Angelina seemed to toss you around as you walked around the women's section. They all showed you things, insisting they would be good on you. Things from bright pinks to soft blues. You found the nicest way each time to say that wasn't really your thing.

"Where is no chance we get you to buy something that isn't black is there?" Ginny finally asked as she put another one of your rejected items back onto the rack.

"Uh... probably not" you had to tell the truth because even if you got these things, it doesn't mean you're going to wear them.

"Ok. Hang on here for one second while I gather the troops." Ginny weaved her way through the store, no doubt going to instruct the rest of the women of your preferences. As you stood there alone for a second you felt an arm wrap around you. You turned quickly, wand out ready to defend yourself. Draco stood back holding his hands up.

"Sorry I guess you're still mad at me for earlier..." he had managed to sneak away from Harry's prying eyes.

"No, you just scared me" you lowered your wand, sighing.

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry" he grabbed you again. "I just feel like we haven't been alone in days and I needed a second with you." he tugged you into a tight corner, where the rest of the store could only see you if you were standing just in the right place.

"I am still mad at you though" you started as he pulled you tight to him.

"Well is there anything I can do to make you forgive me?" He leaned his head down, his breath landed on your lips.

"I have a few ideas" you whispered, tugging on his shirt collar pulling him down into your kiss. He was right, you'd spent the last couple nights either in a small hotel room for a few short hours. Or you spent them crying, you hadn't had the chance to be together, and when you went from months and months of ONLY being alone together to never being alone together it was a hard adjustment. You both didn't feel right doing anything under someone else's roof, in a guest bed. So you craved one another. You were deep into your snog when George found you.

"Found them! They're off snogging in a corner!" George announced to his family. You made your way from the corner, licking your lips as you did. The whole Weasley family was watching you. Before long you were pulled apart again, back to shopping.

"Sorry.." you spoke while Ginny handed you a shirt she had found she thought you may like.

"No I get it. Harry and I were like rabbits when we first got together." She winked at you, you blushed deep red, she wasn't wrong. You looked up over the clothes, catching Draco's eyes as he stood with Ron, who was handing him a black button-up shirt.

"It's weird. I have dated other guys before, but he's so different. I feel like I am... I don't know... like I'm held to him by a tether or something. Like if he stood too far away from me gravity would snap me back to him." you watched him, even as he looked back down. Looking at the shirt he was now holding.

"Have you never been in love before?" Fleur asked, having heard what you said. "Because that's exactly what if feels like"

"Not like this.... Never like this" That was true, while you had felt things for people before you had never felt this attachment. You had never spent long moments thinking about their lips or how they felt. It sometimes felt like if you weren't careful you'd cave into him entirely.
