She Is Alive ~ V | d.m.

14. One Beat

Time had gone by and soon the water stopped followed by quiet rustling until the door clicked. I looked up from the pages only to see a half-naked boy only covered by a towel.

He smirked once he caught my eye before he made his way to his closet, "Like what you see?"

I shook my head putting the journal away, "As if."

"You know that you can look right, I mean I'm all yours now. You finally stepped up."

"If I remember correctly you kissed me first." I sat up and leaned again the post of the bed, smirking as I glanced over him before meeting his eye.

He laughed as moved closer before cocking his head, "Yes, but you stole that memory from me, but it's okay I forgive you because you gave it back."

I rolled my eyes as he walked towards me, "You're wearing my sweatshirt."

"No, you see, this is mine." I motioned down to the green shirt that I was wearing.

He smirked as he walked into the bathroom before coming out in just sweatpants, climbing into the bed as I turned around to face him, "Yes, okay, so unless you were on the quidditch team or your last name is already Malfoy, well then my bad. But I'm pretty sure that until then, this is still mine."

He tugged on the shirt before pulling me in for a quick kiss as I only nudged him back gently, "What do you mean, until then?"

"Well, if I tell you, that'll ruin the surprise."

"Okay, I see your game. But remember, I can't stay for long, only one night. I have to start moving again tomorrow morn-"

"I don't care. You're here now and I'm not wasting a moment. I missed you, and I don't enjoy the idea of you being alone with Weaselbee and Potter."

"I mean, I'm not entirely alone, there's Granger. But even then, Ron left and so Harry and Granger basically keep us moving whilst I keep us alive."

He listened as he pulled me into his arms and held me against his chest. I focused on the beat of his heart as he sighed before speaking again, "I want you back alive."

"And I want a kiss."

He placed his thumb under my chin lifting my face up to meet his before he chuckled softly, "You and your ways. It's a wonder why I love you."

"I honestly think you've gone mad. I mean I love me too, but why would you?"

"You really don't ever run out of jokes, do you? Do you flatter yourself that much?"

I propped myself up on his chest as I lifted a brow, "Don't I? Because I was just going to say I flatter myself with my jokes too."

He shook his head as he closed his eyes laying his head back onto the pillow, "No, you weren't, you used legilimens. I haven't forgotten. You and your mind telepathy ways."

I lowered my head onto his chest as he wrapped his arm around me before he whispered into my ear, "I really do truly love you."

I looked up and met his eyes before giving him another kiss as he wrapped his arms around my back while we moved in sync before I pulled back, "Thank you."

Letting out another laugh he pulled me into another kiss, muttering as he spoke, "Always."

Just like that, our hearts began to beat as one...

(the rest is for me to know and for you to dot dot dot (keeping it clean so iykyk))

Laying back under the covers, I looked up again at the now sleeping boy with messy hair and propped my head on his shoulder comfortably with our fingers interlocked. I used my other hand to brush the hair out of his eyes as I sighed.

"I do love you, Draco Malfoy."

Believing he was asleep, I was fooled as a smirk etched across his face, before he lost it while I gently gave him an annoyed nudge as he laughed, meeting my eyes, "You said it."

Rolling my eyes I readjusted myself in his arms, "I said what I said, but don't try to get me to repeat it."

We broke into a small fit of laughter but once the laughter had subsided, we had finally found some peace in the night within the comfort of one another.

Slipping silently into the darkness of the night.
