Meant to be (Draco x reader)

Chapter 59: price

I just wanted Draco to be okay, and now he's worst than ever. He can't even get a full nights sleep without waking up in pain. How could you put this on your 17 year old kid? Lucius literally wanted this, he wanted me to get a mark too. How could someone ever do that kind of thing? I already didn't like Lucius but now? Now I hate him.

The next morning I woke up to Draco's arms wrapped around me tightly. I kiss his nose and then his cheek, quietly slipping out of his arms. I wanted to let him sleep as long as possible since he barely got any sleep last night. So as he slept, I packed both of our bags for that day.

After I finished packing everything I took a quick shower, changing into some fresh clothes and open the door seeing Draco still sound asleep. I looked at the time and saw that it was 11:00. 

I decided to go downstairs and make lunch/breakfast for Draco and I. I crept down the steps and made us some pancake and eggs along with some milk. 

"Angel.." I hear from the other side of the room. I turn around and see,

"Cissy?" I say and look at her sad face. 

"What's wrong?" I ask, setting down the pan.

"Nothing, just." She started but didn't finish her sentence. I walked slowly to her, confused.

"Cissy, what's wrong?" I repeat.

"Just make sure he's okay, alright? Don't let him push you away and if he starts slipping back to his old ways you'll put him back in his place." She says, grabbing my hands and looking at me in my eyes. I look into her now watering eyes as she tries to read mine.

"Promise me." She whispers and I nod, a tear slipping from her eye.

"I promise" I say and she closes her eyes in relief and pulls me into a hug.

"Thank you, Angel. You're the best thing that's ever happened to him." She whispers in my ear and my eyes start to water.

"I can't take the credit for that. You raised him and you did a wonderful job at it. He's a kind, nuturing, sweet gentlemen." I praise her and she takes a deep breath, finally pulling away and wiping her tears with the back of her hand.

"Thank you." She says and I nod.

"I'll let you get back to what you're doing. I have to go run some errands anyways, i'll be back before you guys leave, okay?" She says and I nod. She gives me a quick squeeze of my hands and walks out of the kitchen leaving me there, teary eyed. 

I took a moment to register what happened and relax a little so all in all it only took around 30ish minutes. After I finished making breakfast I headed upstairs and into the room.

"Draco," I whispered quietly. I put the plates down and shook his shoulder but, nothing. 

"Draco, wake up" I say a little louder and still nothing. 

"Draco" I raise my voice a little and he just moves his head to the other side.

"I made foodddd." I sing and in his sleep he starts to sniff. I put the plates by his nose and it takes only 2 seconds before hos eyes snap open.

"So that wakes you up?" I laugh and he looks at me then the food and sits up on the bed.

"Good morning, love" He says, and woah his morning voice is so fine I have to take a minute before I say something.

"Good morning, bubs." I say and he smiles, taking the plate from my hand and grabbing mine to let me sit next to him. I take a seat next to him on the bed and we start eating, just enjoying each others presents.

"So your mom is out running errands and I already packed everything up so we're ready to go at any time." I say, taking another bite of my pancakes. Draco drops his fork a little and looks at me.

"What?" I ask softly and he just stares at me, a small smile on his face.

"What did I do to deserve you?" He says and I try to hide the blush that was rising from my face.

"Stop itttt" I say, pushing my food around my plate.

"I'm being serious." Draco says and I look back at him, his eyes still on mine. We don't say anything for a little until he leans in, placing his lips on mine ever so softly. It was a light gentle kiss, one that wasn't rushed. A kiss that felt like we could be there forever, in that moment. We pull away and I stare at him in amazement.

"I love you with everything in me, Angel." He whispers. Oh my gosh what is it with the Malfoys being so nice to me today. 

"I love you, Draco Malfoy." I say and the blush rising on his face doesn't go unnoticed.

"God, what are you doing to me." He says with a smirk and pulls me in for another kiss, this one was still sweet and innocent just longer than the last.

After we finish breakfast we get a alert that we are wanted downstairs. Draco takes both of our plates and silverware and holds my hand as we walk downstairs. We get to the living room and see Lucius sitting on the couch.

"Draco." He says flatly.

"Father." Draco says in the same exact tone. Lucius just looks at me and I give him a death glare, warning him. His eyes leave mine and returns to Draco's. 

"Have a seat." He says, Draco looks at me nervously but sets the plates on the table and leads me to the couch.

"We need to talk about what your mission is." He continues.

"Mission?" Draco asks.

"Yes, what your job is when you get back to that lousy excuse for a school." Lucius says and I roll my eyes.

"What is it?" Draco asks and I notice his hand starts to tremble.

"You are going to go to the room of requirements and fix up this cabinet." Lucius starts, he shows us pictures and goes through the entire spill of what Draco needs to do. All while, I look back and forth between the two. Everyone in a while squeezing Draco's hand for reassurance. 

"Okay, I got it." Draco says, looking at the floor. We get up and head to the kitchen but not before,

"Oh and Draco." Lucius says and Draco stops walking, his hand still in mine. He takes a quick deep breath before turning around, looking at his father.

"If you fail," He pauses, getting up from the couch and walking towards us. Although he was talking to Draco, his eyes were glued to mine.

"Someone else may have to pay the price." He finishes, a horrifying smirk plastered on his face.
