His Eyes (Draco Malfoy x Reader)

Chapter 5

I run out of the dinning hall doors, my head frantically whipping aroung, trying to find him. I see his robes slide around a corner quickly, and I run after him. I run around the corner and see him sitting at the end of the hallway. I walk up behind him slowly, but not silently, so he knows I'm there. "Draco?" I say softly. "What?" He says rather coldly, a tone I've never heard him direct at me. "I-I didn't... it wasn't..." I find myself at a loss for words. I attempt to swallow the lump in my throat and find the correct words to say. "I'm sorry." I manage to squeak out. He let's out a heavy sigh. "It wasn't your fault." He says softly, standing up and facing me. My face lights up and I look at him. "I thought you were upset with me." I say quietly. He comes over closer to me and strokes my cheek and I lean into his hand closing my eyes briefly. "I'm not angry at you, just angry in general. I just, I hate seeing him touch you. I know what he's thinking, all the dirty thoughts running around in his head" he says, sounding both angry and disgusted at the thought. "But I still can't even do anything because you're still not mine to defend." He mumbles almost inaudibly, looking away, but I still hear him. I think for a moment. Is this his way of expressing to me that he wants us to be... more? Why didn't he just say so? Adorable coward. I jokingly mock him subconciously with an amused smirk. I suppose I should take the first step. I gulp and attempt to find the correct words to say. "I-I can be." I manage to stutter out. God, I'm just as much of a coward as he is. His head whips up at me with a bright smile. "Really? But, what about your friends?" He asks, hesitantly. "They... they will just have to accept that you make me happy." I say to him confidently. A brilliant smile spreads across his face as he wraps his arms around me and kisses me. When he pulls away he looks at me, staring into my eyes, searching the depths of my soul. "I-I love you." He whispers timidly, his face heating up. His words come as quite a shock to me, but the happiness I feel brings genuine tear to my eyes. "I love you too." I say back to him as I jump onto him, hugging him tightly as beads of my tears form in my eyes. I kiss him once again and when he pulls away he has a devilish smirk plastered across his face that makes me weak at the knees. "You're mine now, and I'm gonna make damn sure everyone knows that." He whispers, almost in a growl, then he walks off. I have no idea what he means by that but I know that I like it. As I watch him walk away, he turns around and points to his watch. "Dinner will be over in 20 minutes, I'll see you soon." He yells back to me and then winks, turning around and then disappearing around a corner.
