"Do you trust me?" He repeats his voice shaky. When I don't say anything he rests his forehead against mine, tears streaming down his face. "Please just answer me." He whispers so softly I barely hear it.
"Yes" I answer without a second thought.
-
He doesn't say anything, just stays with his head rested against mine.
"Draco, talk to me, love." I whisper and he inhales sharply. We stay like that for a little until he moves his head back and looks into my eyes. His eyes are already blood shot and his face is all red.
"I didn't want to tell you" I says and I grab ahold of his hand.
"Take your time" I whisper and he closes his eyes, a tear escaping between his long eyelashes.
"I love you" He says and he opens his eyes, waiting for my reaction.
"I love you too" I say and he smiles for a moment before it goes away. I wipe away his tear stained face and he relaxes.
"Promise me you won't run." He says and I stop.
"From you?" I question and he nods, keeping his eyes on mine. "Draco, nothing could keep me away from you." I answer honestly and he nods.
"What if I forced you too?" He asks.
"Why would you do that?" I ask.
"I haven't been completely honest about this party." He says slowly.
"What do you mean?" I question.
"The real reason we're having this party is so" He chokes on the last word and I hold his hand, silently telling him to continue. "It's like a congratulations party." He says.
"For what?" I ask.
"For me." He says.
"Draco, tell me what's going on. Straight up." I say and he nods.
"I'm getting the death mark" He says and I freeze.
"No" I whisper, tears coming to my eyes.
"I'm so sorry." He says quietly, grabbing ahold of my hand.
"Why?" I ask
"I don't have a choice." He says. I pull him into a hug and he holds me tightly.
"You always have a choice." I whisper, combing my hands through his hair.
"He'll hurt you." He says.
"Then we'll hurt him back." I say.
"We can't take him on alone." He says.
"Who are we talking about?" I question and he pulls away.
"Voldemort." He answers hesitantly.
"He's here?" I question and he nods.
"He's giving me the mark." He responds and I nod.
"Draco, nothing is going to change the way I think about you" I answer and he closes his eyes momentarily, nodding softly. That was what he needed to hear, he just needed me.
"I don't want to do this" He says.
"So don't" I say.
"Did you not hear me? He will hurt you and everything you love." He says.
"We're not alone." I say and he turns his head in confusion. "You're never alone"
"He's too strong." He says.
