Draco froze, his face looking distinctly like a deer in the headlights, as Harry turned. Draco's delicate hands went straight to his tie as he turned, his face the perfect picture of fear and sadness. You immediately block Harry from following with your arm, mumbling that you've got this, and jog after your boyfriend. You subconsciously bite your lip, your eyes twinkling with concern and sadness, as you follow Draco down the abandoned hallway. He doesn't even notice your presence, showing how far he is in his breakdown.
He disappears into the boy's toilet, and you don't even hesitate to enter. You see him pulling his jumper over his head, ruffling the silky blonde locks you love to run your fingers through, before a loud sob tears through the silence. Your heart breaks as you hear the desperation filled noise, and your feet carry you to Draco. He glances up in the mirror, silver eyes shining from the watery crystals, and your eyes connect. His eyes are so glazed you can't tell whether or not he saw you, so you press your chest to his back and loosely wrap your arms around his waist- careful not to constrict his ragged breathing- and rest your chin on his shoulder. He stiffens at first but soon melts in your embrace.
After a few moments, his sobs have quietened and his tears have dried. He slows his breathing before whispering "I'm a monster"
Your breath catches at that, and you turn to stand in front of him, cupping his face.
"Do you feel remorse?" You whisper softly, holding eye contact.
He nods, not trusting his voice. You smile at him, stroking his cheek with your thumb.
"Then you're not a monster, and I know you never will be"
He smiles sadly then, gazing at you with bloodshot eyes. You press a kiss to his damp forehead, allowing him to set you up on top of the sink and bury his head in your shoulder. You stroke his hair soothingly, muttering sweet words into his locks.
Harry's head peeks around the door, unsurprised to see you there, but taking in your position with wide eyes. You make eye contact with him, glaring daggers that could make an army run in the opposite direction, and jerk your head in a subtle sign of get the heck out of here. Draco groans slightly at the movement, tightening his embrace to hold you still. You watch as harry leaves.
Draco twists his head to whisper against your neck "I love you".
You beam lovingly down at him, responding with "Love you too".
You stay like that for who knows how long, before Draco stands up straight- removing his head from your neck- and you take in the dishevelled human you call your boyfriend.
"I've really got to get-"
"No" you interrupt, fingers fiddling with the knot of his tie. He opens his mouth to argue but you simply say "Your having the day off" You pull his tie over his head, throwing it with his jumper. "Go have a bath and some food. You look like hell" You unbutton his shirt, making sure not to let your hands or eyes linger at the sight before shoving him in the direction of the baths. You scoop his clothes up- to put in his dorm-, peck him on the cheek and walk out the door. Off to tell them he wasn't feeling well.
Damn, you love that boy.
A/N Just image there is baths next door to the toilets.
