Jealous - D.M.

Chapter 23

(Arias POV)

As he slid his cold hand into mine, all i wanted to do was pull him into a hug. His eyes were bloodshot so I could tell he'd been crying. But I wouldn't dare bring it up. Not because i'm scared he'd be angry with me, but because I want him to tell me what's wrong when he's ready.

I pulled him behind me up into his dorm. This is the first time I'd been in his room. He had his curtains drawn and a black quilt on his bed. His walls were painted a dark shade of green. He had a small tug in the middle of his room. Everything looked like it was thoughtfully set, so much so that I felt out of place in my mismatch socks, and messy hair. I decided not to gawk, but instead focus on the situation in front of me.

He sat on his bed and I could feel his gaze watching me as I searched for a first aid kit. I pulled open drawer by drawer, still not finding it. I heard snickering behind me, so I turned around and snapped, "What's so funny?"

My sharp glare focused in on the small white box laying in his lap. "You! You let me look for...like thirty minutes?!"

His boyish smile made me laugh. I walked over to him and grabbed the box out of his hands. Inside were a pair of tweezers, bandaids, gauze, medical tape, and some cleaning supplies. I grabbed a small bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a cotton ball before laying the box aside.

Draco was staring up at me. "You're so beautiful."

My whole face went beet red. I squeaked out a quick thank you before looking back down at my hands. He grabbed my chin and lightly pushed it up so we were making eye contact. "I mean it."

"Thank you Draco."

He nodded before clearing his throat and motioning for me to get to work. I opened the small bottle and poured a few drops onto the cotton ball. Then, I grabbed his hand and got to work.

Draco must've noticed how far I had to lean over to clean his hand, so he spread his legs apart and pulled me in by the hips. My breath caught in my throat as I stared into his eyes. The obvious redness in them from before had turned into a light pink tinge.

When i felt I'd been staring too long, I went back to cleaning his hand. There were several smaller cuts, but there was one larger cut that worried me. He must've had a pretty large shard of glass in his hand for it to make that big of a gash. First, I cleaned the smaller cuts without any problem. Then, I had to clean the biggest cut. As the cotton ball touched his hand he inhaled sharply and slightly pulled back.

"You ok?" I asked.

"Yeah, just....get on with it"

I nodded before lightly cleaning the rest of it. Once I was done cleaning it I grabbed the medical tape. I wrapped his hand to the best of my ability....which wasn't the best. Draco kind of snorted when he looked down at the jumble of bandages across his knuckle. "What is this?"

"I wrapped your hand.."

"No shit, but what happened to it?" At that he began full on laughing.

I couldn't help but join in. I poked him and said, "Like you could do any better."

"Oh yeah?" Draco asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Yeah."

He grabbed me by my hips and threw me onto his bed. He got on top of me and leaned in close before whispering, "Wanna bet?"
