Treat You Better [𝙾𝙽 𝙷𝙾𝙻𝙳] (Narcissa Malfoy x Reader)

Chapter Thirteen

(BEFORE YOU READ, I'M SORRY ITS BEEN FOREVER SINCE I'VE UPDATED THIS STORY. I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW LONG HAS PASSED SINCE I UPDATED. And yes, there may be some submission in this chapter BUT DON'T GET USED TO IT, I still haven't decided whether or not I want the reader to be dominant or submissive, maybe a switch. Comment what you'd like this reader to be, and I'll think about it some more.)

I turned over to my side, taking a moment to open my eyes. But once I did, I saw a sight that I'd never forget even if I wanted to, and I'll never want to forget this. I saw Narcissa laying peacefully beside me, her arms laying gently beside her head. Every time I see this woman, I get more and more enamored with her. The serenity that her presence brings me is amazing.

Her hair was still down from after her bath but it framed her face perfectly. I gently pushed back a loose strand away from her face. She was so peaceful laying here and it's so nice to see her like this, and I'm glad she's comfortable with me. From here, I got to see that the small cut on her cheek from Lucius has finally healed to nearly nothing.

But that reminds me.

I'm still in her room, but I'm not sure what time it is. I can't imagine what he'd do to her if he saw me in bed with her.

I sat up and saw the sun only just beginning to rise from the window. That's good, well as good as it can be.

I don't want to leave, especially not before she wakes up, but it's what's best for her.

I summoned a quick piece of parchment and quill to write down a quick note. I hate to leave her alone, it's not fair for her. But hopefully, she'll understand why I had to.

'Dearest Narcissa,

I can't tell you how badly I wish I could've been there when you awoke. I'd love to see those beautiful eyes of yours open for the first time today and to hear your voice. But I think it would be best for you if I don't get caught sneaking out of your room. I don't want to risk you getting hurt over me, so I decided to leave before anyone else was awake. I'm sorry to leave you, especially after such a wonderful night. One day, I'll be able to be there with you when you wake up, and I'll be able to stay with you. I'll see you shortly.

Warmly,
Y/n Y/l/n.'

I just hope that the note was enough to help her understand. I looked out the window once more, and the sun was starting to rise quicker. Now is the only chance for me to go if I want to be sure she'll be okay.

I left the note on the pillow I had used, that way I know she'd see it. Before I left, I had pulled the covers over her chest a little bit more.

As I left her room, I replaced the locking spell so I know her sleep won't be disturbed. I don't think Lucius would do something like that but I won't risk it.

I quickly go into my room to change into a decent outfit for the day. Nothing too fancy, just a simple plain buttoned blouse with some decent trousers. It's enough for me to do, assumingly, nothing in.

It had only taken me a few minutes to get dressed so I decided to waste some time in the garden, I finally have a chance to thoroughly enjoy it.

I got down to the garden and found a bench I haven't gotten the chance to see yet, this one is almost directly in the middle of the garden and it gives me the most perfect view of the sunrise. Once the sun had gotten a little too bright for me to watch, I closed my eyes to enjoy the warmth it gave me.

~Narcissa POV~

I turned over to my side as I began to stir awake. I gathered a bit of the duvet and pulled it closer to me, but the ease of that made me realise something. Y/n wasn't next to me.
