Y/N'S POV:

I woke up with someone's arms around me, and I noticed I wasn't in my dorm. I turned to see a naked Tom, of course I remembered what happened last night, I just had to process it. Tom started to stir in his sleep and eventually woke up. "Good morning," I smiled, giving him a kiss on the lips. "Morning," He said, god his morning voice.

It was around six am so I decided to take a shower as I didn't take one after last night and we had classes today. I grabbed one of the blankets on the bed and wrapped it around myself, I then stood up, just to feel terrible pain in my legs and lower back. "Fuck!" I yelled, sitting back down immediately. "Hm?" Tom hummed, knowing exactly what I was on about. "My legs and back are in excruciating pain you bastard!" I exclaimed, earning a laugh from him. "I keep my promises darling," He said, going over to me, starting to kiss my neck.

"I need to take a shower," I said after a while. "May I join you?" He asked, I felt him smirk against my skin. "I suppose," I sighed, I didn't feel like saying no. "Mhm, and what are you going to do about clothes?" He asked, his words muffled. "Shit," I whispered to myself, I felt him smirk once more. "It's not like anyone comes to our hallway anyway darling, go get your clothes, I'll run the shower," He whispered into my ear. "I can barely fucking walk," I rolled my eyes, causing him to smile at me. "You'll have to figure that out on your own, now go on," He said, standing up.

After he went into the bathroom I sighed and stood up, pain shot through my legs and into my hips as I started to walk. "Fuck fuck fuck," I whispered to myself as the pain just seemed to get worse. It then started to be a bearable pain as I walked more in which I sighed in relief.

I got to my dorm and grabbed my usual uniform. I grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste along with my hairbrush. I walked into my bathroom and grabbed my shampoo and conditioner and body wash as I didn't want to use Tom's. I then walked to Tom's dorm and opened the door.

"I'm back," I called out, walking to the bathroom to see Tom standing there waiting for me. I set down my stuff on the huge counter sink he had. "Well, what are you waiting for? Get in," Tom said, motioning for me to go into the shower. I did so, dropping the blanket on the tile floor, grabbing what I needed from the counter. I stepped into the glass shower that was already fogged up by the heat of the water.

Tom then stepped in, closing the glass door behind him and getting behind me. I then grabbed my shampoo, putting it in my hand and scrubbing it into my hair until Tom stopped me. "Let me," He said, lowering my hands. I rinsed my soapy hands in the water as he scrubbed my hair. He told me to turn with him so he could rinse my hair, I followed and my head went under the water, not all the way, but just enough so all my hair was under it.

After he washed my hair I did the same to him, I grabbed his shampoo and put it in my hand, scrubbing it in his hair. He had to go down quite a bit for me to reach but I got it. The things he used to wash his hair smelt very much like citrus, that's probably where I always got the scent from.

We then washed our bodies and got out of the shower.

Tom handed me two towels and I dried my body off and wrapped one towel around my head for my hair. I then got dressed and put some eyeliner on as Tom watched me curiously, I never wore makeup really, but today I felt like it. "What is that stuff?" Tom asked, watching me in the mirror. "Eyeliner," I said, trying to focus on making the 'wing' perfect. "Why?" He narrowed his eyes, inspecting it more. "What do you mean why? It's some sort of makeup, would you like some?" I asked sarcastically, knowing he would get mad. "No," He said sternly, finishing getting ready.

After I finished with the eyeliner I brushed my hair and teeth, I didn't know if I wanted my hair up or down today. "Tom, should I wear my hair up or down?" I asked him as he brushed and styled his wavy hair. "I don't care," He grumbled, walking out of the bathroom. I sighed, we were doing so good with being nice today, I guess that's where it stops.

I exited the bathroom after I decided to keep my hair down and checked the time, 7:50, perfect.

I saw Tom putting his shoes on and I remembered I forgot to grab my shoes from my dorm, along with socks and my wand. "I forgot my shoes and wand in my dorm, I'll be just a min-," "No need, I'll be in the great hall," He cut me off, walking over to me. "Okay," I said quietly, walking to the door and opening it. Tom grabbed me and kissed me on the lips after he closed the door behind us.

I broke the kiss and went into my dorm, closing the door behind me. I walked over to my trunk and grabbed a pair of knee high black socks and put them on over my tights. I then grabbed my black flats and slipped them on. I walked over to my mirror where my robe was at and I looked at myself. 'I actually look pretty decent today' I thought to myself and smiled. I grabbed my robe and my wand and exited my dorm, going down the steps to see Draco.

"Oh hey Draco," I smiled, approaching him. "Hey," He smiled back, he was clearly blushing, his pale face couldn't hide it well. "Coming to breakfast?" I asked, trying to ignore the obvious blush on his cheeks. "Uh yeah, but I wanted to talk to you about-," "Last night? Please Draco, it was the game," I cut him off, leading him out of the common room. "Right, right, but I was just wondering, why did you do it? You know, kiss me longer than you're supposed to?" He asked, walking next to me.

"I wanted to take the piss out of Tom, just to mess around," I laughed, I couldn't tell him the full reason of course. I had a tiny limp as I was as sore as can be, Tom didn't mess around when he was angry, I really hoped Draco and the others wouldn't notice it. "Ah okay, and you're limp? What's that from?" He asked. "Rolled my ankle, heels are a life or death situation," I lied, the heels part was the truth however. Draco just nodded and we continued to walk to the great hall.

"Why is he here?" Tom grumbled as he pulled me onto his lap. "Me and Draco made up, come on Tom, just be nice," I sighed, fidgeting with my rings. "No," He said, his grasp on my hips tightening, I had bruises on my hips from all the times he's done that, plus from last night, I needed a break from it honestly. "Ow fuck Tom!" I whisper yelled. "What?" He said back angrily. "My hips hurt, could you please not grab them so tightly or not grab them at all?" I asked irritatedly, I didn't mean to sound rude, whenever I was hurt and someone wasn't making me feel better it pissed me off and I don't have good control over my emotions.

"Fine," He said, taking his hands off of me and taking me off his lap. "Tom I didn't-," "Shut up y/n, merlin," Tom scoffed, messing with his rings. I sighed, looking down at the table when I felt someone touch my hand. I looked up and saw Draco giving me a sad smile. "Do you want to talk about it?" He whispered as Tom was still next to me. I nodded. Draco told me to leave the great hall ten minutes after he did so it wouldn't look suspicious, it's not like we were going to do anything bad, but I got what he meant.

Ten minutes later I told Tom that I was going to the bathroom and that I would be back. He just grumbled in response and I got up and left the great hall.

I walked around the corridors for a couple minutes until I heard Draco call my name, he didn't tell me a specific place to meet so I just wandered. I turned around and saw him leaning against one of the walls.

"So, what's going on between you guys?" Draco asked as I approached him. "I don't know really, Tom is just all over the place honestly," I sighed. "What do you mean?" He asked, looking down at me.

"Well, one moment he's a complete douche, then he's horny as hell, then he's nice, then he's a douche again!" I exclaimed, throwing my hands in the air. "It's like I'm his toy or something, he's a jerk, we shag, he's nice, then he's a jerk again, what sense does that make?" "None," Draco crossed his arms. "Does it hurt your feelings?" "Of course it does," I said. "Then why are you still with him if it hurts you?" He asked. "Because I-," I cut myself off, I couldn't say it. "Because you what, y/n?" Draco looked me in the eyes. "Because you what? Come on, say it." "Because I love him!" I yelled out, feeling tears prick my eyes. "I love him, and I don't think he loves me back."

Draco frowned, lifting my chin up and looking me in the eyes. He then pulled me into him, hugging me lightly as I hugged him as tightly as I could and sobbed, oh god I sobbed.

"Does he love me back?" I asked, my words muffled by Draco's chest. "I don't know princess, I don't know."
