Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

TW // mentions of self harm and attempted suicide

I took Draco to the ocean for the first time a week before the new term started.

I pulled him towards the water which he tried to argue that he didn't want to get wet but he listened anyway and took behind me.

My back to his chest, his arms around my waist and a smile attached itself to my face as the cold salt water hit our feet and the wind hit us making us breath in the salty air.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" I asked as I starred in awe at the sight,

My hands found their way to his and our fingers locked together which ended in him twirling me to face him.

He pushed a strand of hair behind my ear as it flew behind me, I rested my head onto his chest and wrapped my arms around his torso while he held me tightly burying his face in my hair.

We stayed like that for a while before going to lay down before my father showed up after the sun set.

"You said I saved you" he said as he pulled me down next to him causing me to land ontop of him, my knee between his legs and I laid ontop of him "how?"

I thought for a moment, before sitting up pulling him with me "I can't hide them here, like I can at hogwarts" I mumbled as I lifted my shirt up to show my stomach which was covers in scars, some small, small big.

He placed his hand onto my stomach and then looked at me, sadly "did you do these?" he asked dispite already knowing that answer as I slowly nodded.

"A month before the term started in 3rd year, Destiny found me bleeding out on the bathroom floor with a piece of broken glass in my hand" I closed my eyes at the memory and felt him bring his hand to my cheek kissing my forehead.

"I had forgotten to lock the door, if I locked it I probably would have bled to death, my aunt healed me and for weeks after I felt like I couldn't do anything right, I mean I had failed to kill myself, Ruby and Ivy came and stayed afterwards never letting me out if their sight for more than 5 minutes."

I couldn't look at him because I knew what he was thinking, why I did it and how does this apply to him, how did he save me.

"I felt like no one cared so when we made that stupid bet at the beginning of 3rd year and we were by the black lake just talking I realized you cared, you didn't compare me to someone who I thought was a monster, you offered to help me with something I had struggled with since my 7th birthday, you saved me when I was on the verge of breaking again, made it easier to get up in the morning and breathe"

I opened my eyes to look into his realizing how glassy they were, how sad they looked while his thumb ran under my eye softly "you saved me by showing that you cared about me when I thought that no one did"

He cupped my face moving one hand to push a strand of my hair behind my ear and taking my glasses off after they fogged up.

But he was still so close that he was almost crystal clear while his hand ran through my hair, I was sat on his leg as I let my shirt fall back down to cover my scars.

"I will always be there to show you are cared about—"

I never could keep myself under control with him, I always spilled my heart out to him even once in 2nd year when I broke down after failing to do a simple essay for transfiguration.

He always listened.

"I love you"

He pulled me in by the back of my head, bringing his lips onto mine, his fingers tangles in my dirty blonde, almost light brown hair.

I sighed against his lips pushing him back against the towel we were on, his other hand moved from my cheek to under the back of my shirt, his cool rings hitting my warn skin which created goosebumps everywhere.

He was so gentle rubbing his thumb on my back and his hand that tangled into my hair rested on the back of my neck making me giggle against his lips.

I pulled back to look at him with a soft smile on my face, I was admiring him as he admired me, smiling all the same as I was.

He was so close, I could see him perfectly without my glasses.

"I love you too" I smiled brushing his hair off his face as I said it "never forget that ferret"

My hair fell lazily onto one side with the wind blows past us, "you're so fucking perfect" he gushed, eyes soft like his smile and words.

I huffed as I leaned in once more while mumbling my response "I'm far from it" and my lips were on his once more softer than ever.

His lips were a drug, a taste and you were addicted for life but he was my drug, mine.

The boy who saved me.

A/N

They finally fcking said it 😭 the L word oh my god.

Also, safe confusion I've said Iris has dirty blonde hair then light brown, her hair is like dirty dirty blonde so it almost looks light brown if that makes any sense what so ever.

Ruby's natural hair is blonde, like a naturally light blonde but she dyes it red, Ivy had black hair thats not confusing.

Okay thats all, wanted to clear that up.
