Daddy Issues

Chapter 24:

I woke up with a horrible headache which is not a surprise.

I checked the time, 12:19.

I looked down to see Draco still asleep on my chest and I smiled. I massaged his head and he groaned as he woke up.

"Good afternoon handsome." I said and he hugged me tighter.

"Good afternoon to you too beautiful." He looked up at me and smiled.

"I have a horrible headache." He said and rolled over onto his back.

I got up from my bed and walked to the bathroom. I opened my medicine cabinet and pulled out Advil. I walked back over to him and grabbed a water bottle out of the small refrigerator that I had in my room.

"What the fuck is Advil?" He asked as I handed him two pills.

"It's the muggle way of getting rid of headaches and pretty much any pain you feel." I took two myself and handed him the water.

"Take them, they'll help. Don't chew them, just swallow." He put them in his mouth and took a sip of the water. He swallowed them and made a disgusted face.

"I'm never doing that again." I sat back on the bed and he grabbed my arm.

He pulled me to him and I laid between his legs with my stomach on his and I looked into his eyes.

"Do you remember last night? After you had came in my room." I asked and he nodded his head.

"Can we talk about it? We don't have to now, but soon?" I asked and he nodded again.

We spent the entire day just laying with each other and waiting for the headaches to go away, and around 1:30 they finally went away. Though the pounding feeling was still a little there.

Draco sat up and pulled me further onto his lap so I straddling him.

"Okay, let's talk." He said and I smiled.

"Explain to me how you feel about this whole situation. I'll listen and when you're done I'll talk."

He took a deep breathe, "When you tell me that you're not lovable it makes me feel as though you don't want to be loved. I'm here and I'm ready to be with you and I'm ready to love you but you keep pushing me away." He looked at me and I could see the hurt in his eyes as he continued.

"I know maybe you want to take it slow and I understand if you think I'm moving too fast but what you don't understand is I've loved you since last year. Yes I remember that night at the party, but I just didn't want you to know I did. I'm just as broken as you, and I don't believe that I deserve to be loved, but if I'm gonna be loved by anyone I want it to be you."

I sat there and listened and my eyes filled with tears. I never knew that he felt this way because he never opened up.

"When you pushed me away that night we first talked about it, it really hurt me Y/n. I didn't show it but it did. It made me feel as though you didn't want to be loved by me, that my love wasn't good enough. And I understand where you were coming from about being broken and not lovable because I feel the same way, but I'm letting you love me. Just please let me love you. It doesn't have to be now, and we can take it slow, but soon?"

I looked down as tears flooded my eyes and rolled down my cheeks.

"I am so sorry for making you feel that way. That was never my intention, and I hope you know that. You're right, I pushed you away and I shouldn't have done that, but I'm just scared. If I give my heart to you and this ends badly I won't be able to deal with that type of heartbreak."

He grabbed my hands and looked me in the eyes, "I won't let it end badly. If you give me your heart I'll protect it with everything in me. We are in this together. We can try this out before we jump into anything. If that's what you want?" He said softly.

"I think that's what we should do." And I sniffled.

He let go of my hands and wiped the tears away from my eyes.

"It's okay, don't make yourself feel bad love. Come here." And he pulled me into a hug. I let all of my tears out as he rubbed my back.

"I just don't know why I could make you feel like that. God I'm a h-horrible person." I stuttered and he pulled me away from him and he grabbed my face.

"You are not a horrible person and you never will be. You're just used to pushing people away and I understand. I do it too. This is only gonna make us stronger. Stop crying, it's okay."

"It's n-not okay."

"If that's how you wanna be then no, it's not okay. I'm so mad at you for hurting my feelings and making me upset. Better?" I laughed and nodded my head.

"Now, stop crying. You need to eat something." He wrapped his arms around me and stood up with me in his arms.

He sat me on the bed and went in my drawers. He came back with one of his hoodies and some pants.

"Can you go get me a bra?" I asked and he walked back over to my drawers and he brought back a black bra.

"Are all the bras you own black?" He asked as I clipped it and put the hoodie over it.

"My everyday bras are black, but I have red ones for special occasions." I said and he smirked.

"Guess you'll have to show me those soon." He said as I stood up and he grabbed my hand.

"Ready to go eat lunch?" He asked and I nodded.

We walked down in the common room and everyone's head shot up to look at us.

"You all have a staring problem." I sighed.

Everyone looked away and me and Draco left the common room.

We sat down at the Slytherin table and we both started eating.

"I don't really remember anything from last night besides from when we were in my room." I said and Draco nodded his head.

"Yeah I remember only the stuff from when we were in your room."

"So you remember when you ran into my bed post and apologized to it like it was a person?" I laughed and he spit out the water he just took a sip of.

"No I don't remember that. That's so embarrassing." He started laughing and I grabbed at my stomach as I laughed harder.

"That's hilarious." I said and caught my breath.
