Cynical // Draco Malfoy

Twenty Eight

[slight slight slight smut.]

It was like deja-vu for Grayson staring at herself in the mirror, at the dress. She was reminded so much of the night of the Yule Ball, where her and Draco shared their first kiss. Where she truly started falling for him. Here she was again in the same situation, in a white dress, but this time about to get married... Almost struggling to recognize herself through all the glam the two mothers worked hard on, she still felt beautiful- and ready.

"Aw my sweet girl." Chan stood their beaming at her daughter. This moment came much too fast for her liking.

"Mum.."

"I can't believe we're here.. wow I never thought I'd be seeing my daughter getting married this early."

"At least try to look happy!"

"I am! I'm just not ready to give you away, neither is your father."

"I'll be fine!"

Grabbing her daughter's hands Chan pulled her in close afraid anyone would over hear, "listen to me Gao. As much as you and Draco may love each other, the Malfoy's are a dangerous family and their loyalties lie with the Dark Lord- always have. The moment you feel unsafe or know something's happening, you leave. I don't care." she said quickly and her tone of voice harsh, "you need to promise your father and I this right now, or you will not be allowed to see that boy ever again. This is life or death because he's back and we won't have you mixed up on the wrong side."

"I promise mum. No matter what I'll never help that side. I'll always be loyal to you, to Harry- to all my friends, like the Weasley's."

"Good. Put those you've known longer first- those who make the right choices."

It was hard for the young girl to hear what her mother had to say. But the thing was.. when it came down to sides, for whenever a war could break out- she'd never stray from her friends. From Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny especially. Just because she loved Draco dearly didn't mean she'd give up her life- but the scariest part was, was the fact her mom just confirmed the Malfoys were in cahoots with the Dark Lord himself. This was basically suicide if one put it like that, but Grayson had to believe in Draco.

"Ready?" In came Narcissa beautifully dressed. She had a smile on, one that was definitely genuine.

"Yeah."

"Then let's go hun." the two mothers escorted her from the room and out of the manor. Grayson couldn't quite tell if her mother liked Draco's or not- but she did. There was something much kinder in the woman unlike Lucius. But maybe those two were once like her and Draco....

Standing besides the priest, Draco nervously scuffed his shoes causing him to receive a glare from his father. He felt like he had been waiting long enough for this moment, only wanting to see his fiancé walking towards him now. He didn't have to wait long as soon Narcissa and Chan stood with them as well.

With a sharp intake of breath, Draco stared at Grayson as she made her way towards them with her father. Their eyes locked and never faltered for a second. His heart began to beat like crazy, chest growing tight.. a smile appeared on both of their faces as with each step she grew closer to him.

Taking her hands into his own for the first time in over two weeks, he felt relieved. Knowing she was with him again made everything okay. The two couldn't break eye contact throughout the ceremony, barely hearing the words around them.

Their stomachs were both filled with 'butterflies', hands sweaty, bodies jittery. Staring they felt lost in each other..

"Do you, Draco Malfoy, take Gao Yang to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

"And do you, Gao Yang, take Draco Malfoy to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." with a smile Draco leaned in pressing a sweet kiss to his now wife's lips.

The rest of the night surrounded by their parents went agonizingly slow. The newly married couple kept close, hands intertwined. Draco thought Grayson looked stunning, hardly able to tear himself away from her.

"I missed you." he whispered into her ear as his boredom was increasing. Both their parents were having just a ball with this.

She smiled back, "I missed you too."

"You look beautiful."

"T-thanks." her cheeks heated up, much to his amusement, turning red.

Draco placed a hand on Grayson's thigh, squeezing lightly. As much as he loved her dress, he also wanted it off her, and her on his bed. It wouldn't be long hopefully but he was just excited to finally take the next step with his wife.

Wife. That sounded amazing to him. A relief in so many ways..

The two teenagers stumbled into a bedroom, lips locked, kisses turning sloppy as they were finally alone. Grayson's back hit the king sized bed as Draco pushed her down onto it, climbing over her.

"D-Draco.." she mewled as his lips moved down, softly sucking on the sensitive skin of her neck.

"I- want- this off.." he breathed out tugging on the white lace dress. Their fingers stumbled with each other's as they struggled to get the dress off, eyes meeting once, faint blushes coming to their cheeks.

Draco felt nervous with each touch he laid onto her body, stripping off the dress while her own hands fiddled with his white dress shirt. Seeing her pale skin only covered by under garments, he felt his nerves rise, but began placing kisses on her chest where the fabric was once placed.

Each movement or touch the two tried to make felt awkward and new. Neither of them wanted to cause any pain to the other.. gentleness and making sure Grayson felt good was the only thing on Draco's mind.
