All This Time {Drizzy x Romeo FanFic}

22

(Romeo's POV)

I knock at Draco's room door. "Hey, Draco, I'm coming in." I try to open the door but it's locked.

"You can't." He says.

"Yeah, no ish Sherlock! Open the door!"

"No!" He shouts.

"Come on! I'm just checking on you, don't be childish." I yell through the door. He's quiet for a while and I press my ear on the door to try to hear but I don't hear anything. "DRA--" I'm cut off by him opening the door and I almost fall in. "Hey." I stand up right.

"Romeo, no offense, but you are one of the last people that I want to talk to right now. There is so much on my mind." Draco walks further into his room.

"Yeah, sure, I won't take offense to that." I sigh sarcastically and walk into the room closing the door behind me. "You can talk to me about anything."

He sits on the floor with his back to the bed. He sits with his knees up and his arms on his knees and his head in his arms. "Let's not make this a bigger deal than it is."

"The only one doing that is you." I sit next to him. "Talk to me."

"I hit a wall." He says and looks up and stares off across the room. For a moment, I thought he meant he literally hit the wall but that doesn't seem to be the case. It would've been better than him hurting though. He doesn't look at me and keeps going. "The thing with the hospital is going nowhere. How are we going to get that evidence? I've been talking with Riva all day about it."

"We're all stumped but we're gonna help--"

"No, you don't get it. As selfish as it sounds, there's so much on my conscience that I need to clear. Too much to say in a letter. I have so much to talk to him about and it's too much to ask in that letter."

"Stuff like what?" I ask.

"Stuff I don't wanna talk about." He scoffs. "Me and him let things unfinished."

"We all left things unfinished with Driz."

"I'm sure you did." He cuts his eyes at me and my eyes widen. Turning to me fully, he says, "Don't look at me like that, you know exactly what I'm talking about."

"No, not really."

"We saw the kiss, I ignored it until now because you were right before, we had bigger things to deal with. But come on Romeo."

"Not even I knew that was gonna happen!"

"Oh please--"

"I'm serious! Maybe we've hung out more and had-- truthfully-- a few moments but I didn't think it was gonna come to that!" I exclaim.

"It should've stopped before you even had the moment!" 

"How could I have stopped the kiss from--"

"No! I meant the hanging out together!" He shoutz. "If you never did that, the kiss would've never happened."

"What are you talking about?" I smirk at him as I tease him. "Are you jealous?"

"Are you fricking kidding me right now?" Draco blinks at me. "Whether I am or not doesn't fricking matter, Drizzy's my best friend."

This time I blink at him. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"What is wrong with this band?" Draco stands up and so do I. "Does no one care about friendships? Tell me I'm not the crazy one here!"

"Okay! Calm down!" I exclaim. "Why are you so fricking riled up?"

"Isn't that what we been talking about this whole-- You know what, my bad, I forgot you don't know how to listen!"

"Did I not come here to listen to you?!" Now, I'm getting mad. "You're being an arse to everyone and I'm sitting here trying to be a good friend."

"You wouldn't know a good friend if one bit you on your arse-- you'd probably be into that ish too."

"What. Are. You. TALKING ABOUT!" I yell.

"Frick it. Flat out. You can't date Driz." Draco demands as he holds my gaze.

"And-- flat out-- you can't tell me what to do." I squint my eyes at him. "Listen, I didn't plan this. I know Drizzy is your best friend and I get it, me and you dated, but he kissed me!"

"And you liked it."

"Heck yeah, I did." I scoff and fold my arms. "What? You mad?"

"Mad? Nah, motherfricka, your ''manz'' in jail-- prison for the next 10 years. Karma got you already."

I roll my eyes at him. "Alright, so you happy now or... what?" I ask.

He stares at me before sighing and sitting on the bed. "No. I'm sorry for all that. Kind of. I meant it, I just shouldn't have said it. Like I said, I hit a wall."

Hesitantly, I sit next to him. "If we're still being brutally honest, you need to control of your emotions."

He turns to me. "Can you blame me?"

"Yes because I still only know one part of this whole thing and... I still think you're just jealous."

"Get up off your high horse, don't nobody want you." He scoffs and I glare at him. "I just need to talk to Driz and I can't now. I've been putting it off for so long and now look. That mothafricka in prison."

"What is it?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"And that's your problem right there." I point out.

"Look, I just need to get him out of there, I need this hospital thing to work."

"We all do, okay? So don't crash out on us. We're helping." I remind him. "The rest of want this just as much as you do for all of our own reasons."

He stares at the ground before sighing and accepting it. "Okay. Alright. I'm sorry."

"Alright. We good?"

"For the most part." He twitches a smile at me and we hit one of our handshakes before hugging. "Thanks."

"Like I said, you can talk to me about anything." I assure him before moving from the hug and standing up. "You coming back downstairs?"

"Nah... I'm just gonna stay here in my mind."

"Draco..." I sigh. "Don't stress yourself, okay?"

"Okay. I got it."

I nod and walk out of the room.
