We've found a spot to sit and have been talking. I've tried to explain to Draco what I just felt but it's harder then it seems to explain, easier in my head even. "I don't know what happened to me, everything just seemed clouded off and I was trying so hard to wrap my head around what I was feeling that I couldn't comprehend anything else."
Draco has me in his lap, holding me. "Do you know what could've triggered whatever it was?"
I shrug, "If I can't explain what happened then how can I know how it happened?" Draco grows quiet, I must've proven a good enough point.
  "Maybe we should take you to the hospital wing, they might be able to help," Draco suggests.
  "No," I complain, "I don't think it's that serious. It's only a one time thing."
  "Right, but if it happens agai-"
  "I'll go, yes. But only if it happens again," I cut him off. He kisses the top of my head.
  "It's getting late, maybe we should head back to our houses and get some sleep?" Draco's quick to suggest. I roll my eyes.
  "We should."
  "What? Don't want to?" I can hear the smirk in his voice. He holds me a little tighter. "Tomorrows a big day, first day of new classes, you'll need the sleep."
  I sigh, but it goes quiet. My eyes gaze over the hundreds of starts in the sky. It's a beautiful night for us to keep to ourselves. It's a shame Draco wants to end it so early. "Draco," I break the silence. He hums in response, letting me know to continue. "I miss sleeping with you. Is that weird?" I feel Draco's chest move as he laughs lightly.
  "No, I wouldn't say it's weird. Why do you miss it?"
  "I-. I'm not sure. Maybe..." I trail off stopping myself from thinking out loud.
  "Maybe?.." Draco asks. I move to face him, I connect our gazes.
  "Maybe it made me feel save?" I watch as his eyebrows raise. "You think I'm crazy," I say looking down at my hands and laughing shyly.
  "What? I never said that. I'm just surprised to hear this from you, that's all."
  "Why is it surprising?" I ask.
  "Well," Draco starts, I look into his eyes again, "you always seem so independent. If something's the matter you try and fix it yourself before asking for help. It's just hard to imagine you feeling more safe with someone rather then yourself, let alone me."
  "Why not you?" I ask. "You're my boyfriend, not just that, you're my best friend. I trust you."
  "You trust too easily," he smirks.
  I return it with a smile, "Don't act like you don't." I snort at Draco's reaction of a face. He's brought his eyebrows together and his lips are almost in a pout.
  "I don't trust easily, you're special."
  "Uhhg," I grown. "Don't do that, please. I don't like being treated like I'm special. Just treat my like anyone else," I smile.
  Draco shakes his head, "I wish I could."
