As you walked through the halls, you felt the tears slowly well up in your eyes. You were almost there, there was no way you were going to cry in the middle of the hallway. You had this, you weren't going to cry.

"Deep. Breaths" you spoke to yourself, over and over again. You walked through the halls. Almost there. Almost there.

You mumbled the password, thank you draco for that one. You walked through the common room, head down attempting to pretend that you don't exist. What felt like a million steps, you made it to the dorm door. You opened it and prayed Draco wasn't in there. You wanted his comfort, but you wanted to get yourself a little bit together before he came.

You took a deep breath when you saw that he wasn't in the dorm. You walked to his dresser and grabbed your favorite t-shirt of his. You loved it because it was one of the oldest ones he had, so it smelled the most like him. You went into the bathroom and changed out of your school uniform and into the t-shirt. You looked into the mirror and frowned at how you looked. You splashed cold water on your face and sighed.

You made your way out of the bathroom and into draco's bed. You crawled under, letting the covers that smelled like him bring you comfort. You felt yourself be lulled into sleep, simply by his scent.

Your eyes were closed when you felt the door open. You knew it was Draco just by the way the door shut. you heard his humming coming to a halt when he saw the lump on his bed, shaped like you. He took off his shoes and changed into comfier clothes, attempting to be quiet. You felt him move the comforter and curl up against your body.

"Hey you," he whispered, kissing the top of your head. You sniffled in response, causing him to stiffen up. He moved you so you were facing him, he frowned when he saw the tear stains on your face. He moved your hair out of your face and kissed your forehead.

" I have had the worst day" you say, voice cracking at the end. Causing Draco's frown to deepen.

" Hey," he said barely above a whisper. " Do you want to talk about it?" he asked.

"Maybe, in a little" you say back, pushing your face back into his chest. Sighing into the comfort.

Draco hummed in response, holding you tightly. rocking you back and forth gently. You felt him move slightly and then you heard music quietly playing.

After about twenty minutes you moved away slightly, grabbing Draco's attention.

"Why am I dumb" you say, knowing you sound pathetic. All you could think about though is how Snape completely embarrassed you in front of the class when you got an answer wrong.

Draco gave you a confused look and said, " well you aren't, love" he replied.

"Can I ask you to do something?" you say quietly.

"Anything" Draco responded immediately.

"Can you tell me why you like me? I know its dumb, I just- I just need a reminder" you say, cheeks flushed with pink of embarrassment.

Draco smiled at you and replied, "gladly"

You rested your head against his chest. He kissed the top of your head and then began.

"I like you, nay, love you because of the way you always put others first. I love how I always see you helping a first year, or helping someone pick up their stuff that has fallen. I love how you always talk to the person that looks alone because like, you always say, everyone deserves to feel seen. I love how when you laugh you throw your head back. I love how when you're sad you like to rest your head against my chest because you like to feel me breathing. I love that when you have news you always try to make sure to say it in a way that doesn't make you feel like you're bragging or making others feel insecure. I love how when you look at me my stomach does flip- flops because I'm so madly in love with you. I love you because you make me feel alive."

You had stopped crying when Draco agreed but they were now back full force as he finished his speech. He felt his shirt get wet with your tears.

"Let it out, love. Let it out and then fall asleep. We can talk more tomorrow. It's Friday, so tomorrow we can sleep as late as you want" he murmured out. You hummed in response.

You felt Draco's grip tighten on you as to bring more comfort to you. He hummed quietly.

After a few moments you were asleep, safe in your favorite place, his arms.
