"Hey.." I whispered, turning towards him.
"Hey"
"Hey"
"No we're not doing that shit"
I laughed, my eyes adjusting to the bright room.
"I'm hungry"
He looked at me, "You're always hungry"
"Okay yes but I'm really hungry."
He closed his eyes again, "So eat."
He's such a bitch.
"Fine."
Such.
A.
Bitch.
I got up and changed into, respectable pyjamas, and made my way to the bathroom.
He groaned and shifted around, loudly.
"Where are you going?"
"To eat."
His strong arm slithered around my waist, burying his face in the crevice of my neck.
"Eat me" he breathed.
Dirty fucker.
"You wish."
"Narcissa you really don't have to do all this for us!"
The table was filled with food, as per usual in Malfoy Manor, sometimes so much so it reminded me of Hogwarts.
"Oh don't be silly, it gives me something to do. Anyway you kids need to eat properly!"
"Well unfortunately Cissa we can't live with you forever so at some point our diets may begin to fail." Mattheo mumbled from the other end of the table, his mouth full of food.
"Oh please Theo, don't act like you and Draco didn't beg me to teach you how to cook when you were younger, you can't have forgotten it all already!"
His head fell as Narcissa and I began to laugh at his sulking face,
"You can cook?"
"Of course I can cook. I'm not an imbecile Nora."
I love teasing him.
"Ah so you're not completely hopeless basically, not an imbecile, is a stretch."
Narcissa left the table, chuckling as she returned to the kitchen.
"You're one to talk."
"Shush please." We took our plates back into kitchen for washing.
"There's a meeting soon." Brow furrowed, he guided me outside to the garden, one hand on my lower back, his tall figure towering over me.
Outside, a cigarette between his lips, he lifted my chin gently, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
I nodded.
He sighed, a cloud of smoke floating above us.
"I know you're worried," he scoffed, "but really I think it'll be fine."
His eyes flicked around, struggling to meet mine, "I'll be fine Mattheo, really. I've been to Hell and back already so how much worse can it get."
My attempt to diffuse the tension around us using humour clearly wasn't working. He chewed at his lip before bringing the cigarette back up for a deep inhale, and finally,
"I know you'll be fine Nora," a cool hand cupped my cheek, "I just don't know whether I'll be able to survive watching you go through all that shit, again."
His solemn eyes met my own. "I love you."
I placed my head against his chest, listening carefully to his steady heartbeat, breathing in the deep scent of cigarettes and sandlewood, sweet vanilla and oak. His scent.
"I love you too." He whispered.
