Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

98

"I have to do it tomorrow" he stated causing me to tilt my head in confusion at what he meant "they'll be here tomorrow I got the letter already so I have to do it tomorrow" he continued and I stared at him with worried eyes "tomorrow night to be exact"

I didn't say anything, I wanted it not to be true, I har forgotten about what Draco was tasked to do and I wished I wasn't reminded of it.

His hand was on my cheek, though I was unsure of when it had got there as he spoke up again "I want you to stay in the common rooms—I'll get you when its over and we can leave together" he told me but I knew I couldn't do that "okay" I forced out dropping my hands in his lap.

"I'll get you when its all over I don't want you to wittness it" he hooked his pinky with mine as I brought my eyes down to my hands "I just want to protect you" he told me as I played with his fingers.

"I know" I sighed quietly as I let my eyes examine his hand while he leaned in to kiss my forehead "thats all you want to do" it came out more aggressive then I intend but he didn't really seem to take offense.

He tilted his head, stroking the underneath of my eye before letting it drop to my shoulder "I love you" he softly assured as I let my eyes meet his "I promise" a gentle smile found his lips and eyes softening.

he stroked my arm in a comforting motion and I don't think he was expecting me to say anything by the way he was looking at me.

"Can you prove it?" I asked without thinking about what I was asking till after I did and seeing him taken aback when he frozed "what?" he sounded small with how quiet his voice was.

"can you prove that you love me?" I repeated and he stayed silent trying to take in my words still "Draco answer me can you pro-" I was forced to swallow the rest of my question when his lips were on mine suddenly throwing me off guard.

Eventually I closed my eyes and melted into the kiss, he tasted like peppermint, his lips surprisingly soft and his fingers now tangled in my hair to keep me in place.

This kiss was different from the others and I couldn't tell how or why it was but it just was.

His lips moved lovingly and slowly against mine as I scooted closer to him making sure not to break our lips apart.

My hands resting around the base of his neck gently as he pulled me closer, deepening the kiss and I mumbled something inaudible into his mouth.

When we both finally broke the kiss for air our lips were swollen and red, my hair a slight mess from him gripping it but a smile found his lips telling me he had proved whatever his point was.

I gave us a little bit more space, scratching the back of my neck as I bit back my smile.

"Do I need to prove myself again?" He asked and I nodded my head to tease him "use your words please" I clarified and he sighed leaning back against the wall.

"Fine" he paused "what do you want me to say? tell you everything I love about you?" he asked, sarcastically but I nodded, seriously.

He thought for a moment, looking at me letting and his eyes wander me as he bit his bottom lip.

"Your eyes" he simply said "I love your eyes so much, they're stunning—easy to get lost in" he waited a moment to see my reaction as my face went bright red and I smiled looking down.

"Your smile, your habit of hiding when your shy, the way your eyes glow when your happy or when your in awe over something your eyes get all big and you smile without realizing it" he said and I couldn't help but smile even more.

"God there are so many things I love about you iris—so many things but there is this one thing that you do that makes me fucking weak" his voice got quieter as he spoke, causing me to look up to see him throwing his hands over his face for a moment.

"You don't do it often but its my favorite thing ever—" he didn't look at me but I could still see his smile "when we're in bed and you want kisses you do this whine I don't even know how to explain it, its just this cute little whine and you mainly do it when your almost asleep" he revealed as he tilted his head forward to look at me again.

"I could go on forever about what I love about you Iris—I mean it" he told me and I couldn't hide my smile anymore as I leaned in to press a short but sweet kiss on his lips while he crossed his arms around my neck.

Silence surrounded us as I rested my head on him, my face buried in his neck my eyes now closed, it was barely midnight meaning I had only been awake for barely an hour when I fell asleep on his chest.

We left early in the morning before anyone walked into the hospital wing because I know that Madam Pomfrey would have both our heads for us sleeping together rather than me in my own bed.

We wanted to go somewhere quiet, where no one could find us and ask us questions about what happened and why it happened.

So we found ourselves in the room of requirement as it turned itself into a copy of slytherin common room with a couple new things in place.

The couches moved and a record player, the exact one I had back at home playing music and I could feel the blonde's eyes on me.

I could see the smile on his face from the corner of my eye and as he stepped infront of me "may I?" He asked simply holding his hand out for me.

"you may" I smiled, placing my hand in his without any hesitation as he pulled me to the center of the room to enjoy the alone time with temporary peace that wouldn't stay forever.

While our laughs filled the seemingly large empty room which was lit by only the early morning sun and the fire from the fireplace.

Soon we both fell silent as he swayed us from side to side, his face buried in my hair and his hands resting gently on my back.

I wondered how he was acting like he didn't almost die only mere hours ago.

He kissed the top of my head before pulling me back back my hands to lay on the couch with him.

I smiled down at him as he laid flat on the couch, "handsome" I whispered making his cheeks run red as I moved my hand to trace his face softly wirh my fingers.

"perfect" I mumbled leaning down and stopping before our lips met "you're so perfect" I kissed him.
