You Are Important! (Draco X Reader)

This is a request from the lovely @JulzlovDraco4Eva! I am terribly sorry for the long wait! I made some changes, hopefully, you don't mind, if so, then tell me and I will make some changes. For now, Have a great day/night and I hope you enjoy it!

You were forced to help Draco become a Death Eater. Luscious and Voldemort made sure that you won't say a word to your Golden Trio Friends. They also used your innocence and fear to make you cooperate with them.
Since they threatened that if you won't do, what they say, Bellatrix will make Hermione suffer. So... You didn't have any choice.
You were terrified, to be honest. Draco always made fun of you and was very mean to you, so working with him made you scared. But what you observed, throughout the years you spent in Hogwarts, was that Draco's behaviour was becoming calmer and calmer. Since you started to work with him, although you rarely even said anything, you could see the stress, the fear and the pain in his eyes. You understood that he was just a scared little boy with no possibility to decide for himself.
Spending time with the boy who was mean to you, meant questions from your friends. Especially today, when Harry found both, you and Draco in the Room Of Requirement. He started to suspect something happening and asked his two friends to keep an eye on you, while he will watch Draco. And that is when Hermione and Ron cornered you one day in an empty hallway, seeing you alone, for once. "What is it with you and Draco?" Ron asked you, rising his eyebrows and crossing his arms. The girl sent him a glare, knowing that intimidating you was not a way to get information. Although the Trio was very protective of you and loved you very much, it didn't make any sense to them, why would a lovely and beautiful girl like you, start to hang out with the proud and terrible Prince of Slytherin. "I... He is not who you think he is. I want to help him" You said honestly. What you didn't know at the time, was that a certain blond boy with electric blue eyes just happened to pass by. When he saw the three of you, he hid in the shadows and listened in. "What do you mean, help him?" Hermione asked you, concerned about you. "I mean, what I mean, Hermione. I am friends with him and I don't see anything bad in it" You stated truthfully. You meant every word. Yes, it was very hard at first, since he was mean towards you, but you learned to look deeper into his soul and see how damaged and lost he was. In a way, you two shared the same thing. You were so lost. Scared of so many things and yet so brave to save a soul. You were also very damaged from all the mean words and actions that Draco put you through. Both lost and Both broken. You understood each other, even if Draco wasn't showing it, he liked you and cared. And he grew to even like you more than a friend would. He saw the fear in your eyes when the Death Eaters tortured yet another poor soul. He even saw your tears. Every time he would say or do something bad to you, he would follow you and check if you were alright. He did that from day one in school. And although he never showed himself to you, he was always watching and silently cursing for making you cry. But of course, having a father as he had, was no joke. So everyone took him for his father. Everyone thought that Draco was just like Lucious. Heartless and mean, holding pure hatred to half-blood or muggle-born witches and wizards.
It was not true. Draco was not like this. He didn't want to. But he had no choice.
"Wait, you befriended Draco? The Draco Malfoy?" Ron's eyes winded. "What's wrong with that? He changed. He isn't mean to me anymore" You said. It was true. Draco calmed down, after discovering that you were threatened by the Dark Lord himself and he made a silent promise to keep you safe. So he wasn't mean to you. He didn't talk much, but he wasn't mean. "What?! Y/N! Are you crazy?! He was always mean to you, you were always crying and even had nightmares! His father is a Death Eater, Merlin! Who knows if he didn't follow his father's steps!" Ron yelled at you, making you flinch and take a step back. Hermione glared at him, before coming closer to you, but you were too scared, so you backed up until you hit the wall. "Ron, you scared her!" She hissed at him and only then, did he realise that you were scared. He started to apologise "I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry, Y/N. I'm just worried" He whispered, trying to come closer to you. You only closed your eyes, letting out a sob. "Don't... Jus... Just don't come near me. Don't touch me... Please..." You begged them.
In the distance, Draco had an angry look. The redhead scared you, made you cry and Draco didn't like when you cried. Seeing you like this, so afraid and so vulnerable, made his heartbreak in pieces. Nobody is allowed to hurt his girl. "Hey! Leave her alone, you blood traitor!" You heard Draco's voice coming closer and saw the shocked and angered glares, Hermione and Ron gave him. "What have you done to her! She lost her mind! Did you put a spell on her?!" Ron yelled, making you close your eyes, feeling a panic attack build inside. All the voices were starting to become muffled and your vision became blurry, as you heard your own heart, beat faster and faster. You felt yourself fall to your knees and a pair of arms catching you before you could fall and hit your head on the cold ground. You tried to escape the tight embrace of the person, feeling yourself close to losing consciousness. Just then, when you were sure, that you will pass out, a booming voice snapped you out of your attack. You looked up and saw Dumbledore crouching in front of you with a gentle smile and with a calming voice, he turned to Draco, Hermione, Ron and the person, who was holding you, which happened to be Harry. "Draco, please, take miss L/N to the prefect bathroom, so she can calm down, and you three, go back to your dorm. It is not an hour to be wandering around the school." He stood up, helping you slowly get up as well and guide you to Draco's arms. The boy hid his worry, putting on a cold mask, while his eyes reflected and showed more than just worry. He was angry at Harry for touching you and he was furious at Ron for attacking you like this. Non the less, he took you to the bathroom, where he sat you down on the floor, sitting down beside you and waiting for you to calm down. For you to calm quicker, he took your hands in his, frowning at how cold they are, and he made sure, to warm them up, caressing them with his soft hands. You looked at him after you calmed down a bit. "Thank you, Draco" You whispered, your voice still shaking and your cheeks still wet, from the tears, you shed. The blonde looked at you with a surprisingly soft expression, making you nearly want to pinch yourself, making sure it wasn't a dream. "I did what I had to. There is nothing to thank me for" He sadly smiled. It was the first time, you saw Draco's eyes water in front of you. You freed your hand from his grip and put it on his cheek, as he watched you all this time. "There is plenty to thank you for, Draco. Just because you mask your sadness and stress, doesn't mean I cannot see the good things you do. I know who you truly are, Draco Malfoy" You whispered and he looked down, still holding your one hand and trying very hard not to lean into your touch. "You don't know me, Y/N" He softly so spoke, you barely could hear him. "I know, that you are not a bad person. And that is all I need to know." You smiled softly, making him look at you with wide eyes. "I am a bad person, Y/N!" He stood up and started to raise his voice, but you calmly watched him and listened to his every word. "I bullied you, every minute of your day! I started to become like my father and gave up being good! I gave in to the Dark Power and accepted the Dark Lord's demands! I am weak, Y/N! I was never a good person, and I never will be! I was assigned to kill and torture! To prepare for my future as a Death Eater! I cannot escape this!" He cried, hiding his face in his hands, as he sobbed loudly. "You are not your father, Draco! And just because he is a Death Eater, does not mean you have to become one! You were raised to believe that all that is colourful is bad when it's not! It's not your fault, that you made mistakes! All of us make them, but we can either fall or learn from them. And you learned." You walked towards him and hugged him tightly "You know, that what you are doing is wrong. You do not want to do it and you don't have to. You can escape this, but you need to find a way to do it safely. I can help you, but you must trust me and you need to know, that you will always be a good person to me. Because you showed me, that you can be good." You smiled and looked at him, looking at you with a sad shake of his head. "I have to kill Dumbledore... Tonight..." He reminded you, making you freeze in the spot. "You can't do it!" You begged him, feeling fresh tears building in your eyes. His hands found yours and held them tightly. "I have to because if I don't do it, they will kill you!" He clenched his jaw looking at you as you were the most beautiful creature in the world. "Then let them, I am not important and sooner or later they would have killed me anyway" You whispered, with a sad smile, making the silver-haired boy hold your hands tighter. "You are dumb" He sighed and you looked at him confused. "How can you not see?" He softly asked, watching your beautiful e/c eyes shining from the tears that threatened to fall any minute. "Can't see what? Draco, I am not the hero of the story, nor the main character. My role is not important in all this. I am not important -" He cut you off, standing up and growling in anger and stress. "STOP IT! You ARE IMPORTANT, Y/N! You are the only person who I can be with and be myself! I don't have to act around you, I don't have to be afraid or angry! You make me calm and happy!" He yelled out, as you stared at him in shock. "What do you mean?" You asked, feeling your heart beat faster. Draco calmed down a bit, coming over to you, crouching, taking your hands in his again and looking deeply into your eyes, he said: "You are important to me, Y/N. From the moment I met you, I knew that I liked you. The way you talk to people makes me smile, every word coming from your mouth is so mysterious and yet beautiful and simple. The way your eyes shine when you are helping people, concentrating on something or even talking about the things you love, especially about f/t..." Your eyes winded. This young man talked so softly and passionately about you, you thought you were dreaming. What shocked you, even more, was that you didn't expect him to know that you liked f/t and it made your cheeks blush delicately. "It makes me want to look in your eyes and drown in their beauty. I love how understanding, passionate and caring you are especially to people who hurt you, that don't deserve your care nor understanding. I don't deserve it... And yet, you still tried to help me. When Voldemort made you stay with me, I was scared. Scared that because of my poor decisions, you will try to flee, making the Dark Lord kill you. But you stood by my side, even when I gave you the option to leave and hide from the Death Eaters." He put one hand on your cheek, making you look at him with tears streaming down your face as he wiped them with his thumb. Your faces were close, you could feel his warm and shaky breath on you. "I Love You, Y/N L/N. You are the most important person to me. I was a fool to hurt you for years and I don't deserve your forgiveness, nor your love. But I want you safe and I want you to be the only one for me. Call me selfish, but I need you and no matter how hard I will try to hide my feelings for you, they grow stronger with each passing second. And I cannot help it..." He finished, a tear rolled down his face as he looked into your eyes desperately searching for your disgust and fear. But he did not find any negative emotions, which surprised him greatly. Your heart was beating and though the heavy topic of him becoming a Death Eater and killing your headmaster, was still in the back of both of your minds, you could not leave this poor boy. "Draco... I forgave you long ago. And you deserve to be loved and cared for, no matter what you did or have to do. You are pressured to do these things and you don't have control over Voldemort's decision. Nothing that happened is your fault, alright?" You smiled, putting your hand on top of his, which still held your cheek lovingly. "I Love You, Draco Malfoy. And no matter what happened or what will happen, nothing can change the way I feel about you. There are no words to describe how I feel when I'm around you. But when we are together, I feel full and happy, no matter how deadly the situation is. I just love being with you. You are strong, caring and ambitious. You are far from being selfish, though I know you will disagree with me, so call me selfish as well. Because if I am not with you, then I don't want to live" You said, looking him deep in the eyes as his face came closer. When you finished, he did not hesitate to pull you by your hand and kiss you passionately. You wrapped your hands around his neck, playing with strands of his hair, while his hands grabbed your waist and pulled you even closer to him.
