His Rose. // Blaise Zabini

secret.

Rose Malfoy

Blaise's arm rested across my chest, his hand under my head and tangled in my hair. His lips were brushing against my shoulder that was covered by his shirt and he was making sure that he soaked up the closeness between us, scared that this wasn't going to continue.

I'm not sure how we ended up in this position because when we fell asleep, I was the one laying on him. Now it's the other way around.

I traced my thumb up and down his high cheekbone, smiling to myself.

"I can't get attached and then you leave."

"It'd break me."

"Don't break me."

My smile faded as his words raced through my head, making my heart melt.

How could someone ever want to hurt him? How could someone ever leave him?

"Ughhh" He groans, rolling his head over and taking his hand out of my hair and plopping his hand on my face.

I giggled "Good morning"

"No." He states.

"You have to get up for tryouts" I poke him in his side and he rolled his head over again.

He had hope in his eyes. But he was worried. Scared. Happy.

"Mi sento così tanto per te," He says, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

I smile at him "Please tell me what that means."

"I feel so much for you" He sits up, eyes not straying from mine. "But it's okay if you don't feel the same." He pulls away, back facing me as he throws his legs over the other side of the bed.

Does he really think I don't like him?

I sit up and scooch over to him, wrapping my arms around his bare waist and kiss his back "How could I not feel the same? Blaise, you're perfect."

My heartbeat speeds up as he turns his head to look at me, eyes looking at every inch of my face trying to decipher if I'm telling the truth or not.

He's thinking back to the time in the library when I pushed him away... when I let him go. He thinks I'm going to do it again, right now.

I take a deep breath. "I'm not leaving and I'm not pushing you away. The only reason why I did that was because I don't want Draco to find out about this. I don't want him to freak out, like he always does, just because I like a boy." My hand comes up and rests on his cheek "I told you last night that I wouldn't break you. I also said that it'd break me too and I meant everything I said."

"Then this would be a secret? Because Draco would beat my ass" He laughed, tackling me back onto the bed.

I lay there with Blaise on top of me and in between my legs, his hands on both sides of my head, as we laugh and focus on each other.

Draco is very protective. As you saw with the whole Theo situation. Another time that he freaked out and let his anger issues take over and his protectiveness came out was summer right before fifth year.

We were playing in the pool and Blaise threw me into the air and I crashed down and back into the water. I was having a good time, but Draco ruined it by yelling at him and telling him he was being too rough.

I love Draco though. He's always looking out for me but sometimes it can be a little bit too much.

"Yes. It would be a secret." I smiled, leaning up and pressing my lips onto his.

Our lips slowly move in sync as the kiss grows deeper and deeper. I flip us over and straddle him, kissing down his neck and then back up.

I pull away and look at him as he puts his hands on my hips with a smirk.

I shake my head "You have to go. I'll see you after, though"

"Whatever" He sits up, me on his lap still as he pecks my lips one last time.

I move off of him and watch him as he goes into the bathroom to get ready.

I'm happy. I finally have what I want and that's Blaise Zabini.

***

I made my way to the great hall for lunch, a smile on my face. I haven't seen the girls yet, since last night, and I know that they are dying to find out what happened.

Blaise has been at tryouts all morning and I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss him because I do.

Time seems to be going by very slow.

An arm is thrown over my shoulders and I look to my left and see Blaise. I smile and kiss his cheek, oblivious to my brother who is standing on my right.

"How were tryouts?" I asked, now looking to my right and seeing my brother with furrowed brows. I gulped.

Nothing could hurt easing into us telling him.

"It was good. Only three people got cut." Blaise replied.

"We didn't really need them. We have the same team as last year" Draco said, Astoria walking up next to him "Hello darling"

"Afternoon" She looked at both boys but sending me a smirk and a wink as she pulled Draco further in front of us.

I shook my head and laughed, putting my arm around Blaise's waist. "What was the look she gave you? Did you tell her?"

"No, I haven't even seen the girls yet today. I went back to bed for a few hours after you left because I was tired. And she was the one who told me what you said" I look to the floor.

"Ohhh so you have secrets?" He cocked a brow.

"And so do you. Dating your best friends twin"

"Oh so were dating?"

My heart skipped a beat as I stopped in the hallway. I said I wouldn't leave him and I said that it could be a secret. We never put a label on it.

"Uh- I did- didn't mean to put a label on it. I'm so-" He took my hand and pulled me into an empty corridor, connecting our lips for a split second incase someone saw.

"Don't be sorry. I like you being my girlfriend"

And there it was.

He's officially mine.
