Seeking Paintings

DISCLAIMER: This story is not MINE as I got it from Tumblr from @ devynwright-writesim as I might not post tonight or for a couple of days since I have HOMEWORK to work on so I hope you enjoyed this xoxo 

You stare out into the vast horizon from the astronomy tower. This was your favourite hideout during your free period. You much rather enjoyed the view when it was light outside. Sure you love astronomy class and looking up at the stars but this was just different. Better.

You pulled out your old, hard-cover, weather-beaten sketchbook and began to draw the landscape before you. You made sure to grasp and add every detail to your drawing. You began shading in the sunset when you heard a voice behind you.

"What are you doing here?" He asked in a rotten tone and you already knew who it was.

"You don't own the astronomy tower, Draco," you say blandly while continuing your work.

"You know this is where I go in my spare time," you hear him huff.

"I know," you blush, hoping he doesn't know that besides the view one of your favourite parts of this spot is that it's his spot too. Then again, how would he even know that it's not like you two are exactly close?

You hear him start to walk away and your heart sinks. Just once you'd like him to stay up here when you're here. Maybe then, you too could become close. You'd had this battle with having a crush on Draco since the first year. Now here you are, sixth year and the most interaction between you two is fighting over the astronomy tower.

"You know you can stay right?" You boldly say. You swallow hard when you hear him stop in his tracks.

You hear his footsteps begin again but this time coming back towards you.

He sits a few feet from you, "Just don't expect me to talk to you."

You just smile and shake your head continuing to look down at your sketchbook. For a few minutes you two stay like this, you drawing, him (probably) thinking. You wonder what could be going on in his head, he seemed to be thinking pretty deeply.

You feel him inching towards you at a snail's pace, from the corner of your eye you can see him watching you draw everything from here to the horizon. You hate yourself for the blush creeping up on your face, by the time he's within a foot of you your face is bright red.

"Why are you blushing?" You look up at him and see he's smiling, a genuine smile.

Because I've been hiding my massive crush on you for nearly six years.

"I just get embarrassed at people watching me work," you shrug.

"Why?" He asks seeming genuinely interested. "You're really good."

"Thanks," you're blush gets even deeper.

You break eye contact and look back down at your sketchbook. The rest of the period is made up of you finishing your sketch and Draco watching intently. He's completely mesmerized at how you can just see an image and recreate it perfectly on your page.

It's Saturday and you aren't needed nor expected anywhere, which is why Saturdays are your favourite days. You usually spent these days roaming around looking for inspiration for a new art piece. Which is exactly how you plan to start today.

You roam the school grounds aimlessly, constantly moving your head around to grasp every aspect of the school. You step into one of the many courtyards and feel inspired to sketch it until you realize you've already done that... Ten times...

You sigh and realize that after six years of constantly working in the same space it's going to be hard to find a completely new area for your art. Just this year and the following before you can finally start travelling and finding more inspiration worldwide.
