Green Grass and Old Parchment - Draco X Hufflepuff Reader

Chapter 31

I'm being pushed around by an unseen force, it seems to be coming from behind me but I can't tell. I'm screaming for it to stop and I know it's supposed to hurt but it doesn't. Not physically. It's all too much to handle... until my eyes open.
I'm in the dark still but at least I know this is real life. I sit up and sigh, looking around the room. I'm in Draco's room. Draco himself is still asleep beside me as my fuss didn't wake him, which is good. I rub my hands down my face and then wipe the sleep from my eyes. It was just a bad dream that's all. I pull the blankets from myself and let my feet find the ground, it's so dark, the only light coming from the hallway from under the bedroom door. I make my way into Draco's bathroom, hesitating to use that one or the other one down the hall. I close the door behind me and then turn on the light to stay quiet and not wake Draco. After using the bathroom I wash my hands and look at myself in the mirror. These past few days has been crazy, not in a bad way though. I've stayed at my boyfriends house, my boyfriend, which is crazy to say. Not believing how fast my stay has been I turn off the light and find the bathroom door handle and open it. When I look into the bedroom again I see Draco sitting up, or I assume so as it's too dark to clearly tell. "Draco?" My soft tone breaks the silence of the whole house, but is only heard between Draco and I. The light on the bedside table beside him is turned on and he's looking at me.
  "Are you alright?"
  I smile and nod, "Yeah, just had to use the bathroom. Why are you awake?" I make my way to the bed and take my spot again, Draco laying back down and pulling my close to him.
  "I don't know, I just sorta woke up," he says. His eyes close and I follow. "As long as you're alright."
  I smile and breath out my nose. He's unbelievably caring sometimes. "I am, stop your worrying," I tease him.
  "I can't help it," he says. I open my eyes and look up at him. "There's something about you, something that makes me act different from how I do with other people and I haven't found the words to describe it yet."
  "Does it include making you extremely cheesy and a romantic?" I tease again.
  "Hush," he smiles, "you're being too much of a smart ass for how tired I am." I giggle at him.
  "Then maybe you should go back to sleep," I suggest. "And then you won't have to hear my remarks."
  "Right, but.." Draco stops and hesitates. "Right," he repeats discarding his last thoughts.
  We both fall quiet and grow comfortable cuddled so close together that falling asleep came quickly.

  My stay at the Malfoy Manor has come to an end. I've most definitely overstayed my welcome on Lucius' terms but I know Draco will miss me. The drive back to my house was too short but never quiet. Draco talked about how he'll be in touch and how he'll be waiting to see me again. But, now that we've reached my house it's quiet. I've gotten my stuff out of the car and am locked in a hug by Draco. I giggle, "You can't hug me forever, you know."
  Draco sighs and pulls away, still keeping me in his arm. "I know I just-. I'll miss you," he says.
I return his smile. "I'll miss you too, but I'm sure a break from me will be nice," I joke.
   "I could never need a break from you," he smiles. He kisses my head and I return it by kissing him on the lips.
"Right, that's enough, we need to go, Draco." Lucius is quick to interrupt us.
I smile again. "Behave," I scold him in a teasing fashion.
Draco rolls his eyes, "That's a big request." Before either one of us pulls away Draco whispers to me, quiet enough so Lucius won't hear, "First day back, meet me by the quidditch field."
I nod, say, "kay," and kiss his cheek once more before leaving his hold and grabbing my bag. "Bye," I say shyly and wave as I, entering my house soon after.
Before I know it I'm unpacking and missing all the time I spent with Draco, but I only have a little while before holiday is over and we'll be back together at school. Plus, when we're at school there's no Lucius, just Draco and I.
