ethereal - draco malfoy

day two

I woke up and expected to see Draco laying down next to me, but he wasn't there. I checked the clock to see it was 10:27 and groaned in annoyance; where could this idiot possibly be at this early in the morning?

I walked into my bathroom and brushed my teeth before trudging groggily downstairs towards the kitchen.

As I was about to push the kitchen door opened, I heard my mother's laugh coming from inside. I sighed and hit the door once with my palm, causing it to swing open and reveal me standing in the entrance.

Draco and my mother both abruptly looked at me standing in the door way. I was in one of Draco's t-shirts and my hair was a complete mess from waking up so early.

"Well it's nice of you to finally join us, Rora." Draco said sarcastically with a smirk while eyeing me up and down.

"Piss off." I mumbled as I walked over to the tea pot and poured myself a cup of tea. I then walked over to my mum and gave her a kiss on the cheek before walking back over to Draco and sitting next to him.

"Sleep well?" he asks, eyeing my extremely curly hair and picking up a piece of it and observing it. My hair was frizzy and messy from sleeping under my duvet.

"Mhm." I hummed in response, resting my face in my hands after I swatted his hand away.

"So what do you plan on doing today, Cynthia?" my mum asked.

"I don't know, why?" I responded lowly, not bothering to pick my head up.

"Well, Cissy and I are going out today and I didn't know if you wanted to stay here or not because the information of your father is still quite... new." she explains slowly, almost cautiously.

I lifted my head up and blinked slowly with a blank expression on my face. I knew I looked bad; the circles under my eyes are extremely dark.

"Right. Well, I'll be going then. I'll see you both when I get back home." she said, understanding my silence. She walked over to me and kissed me on the head. "I love you." she said, heading for the door. "Love you too, mum." I mumbled before the door closed.

I then turned back to Draco and gave him a tired look. "Can we take a nap?" I asked, looking down at his hand and toying with one of his rings.

He let out an over-exaggerated sigh and shrugged heavily. "I suppose."

I gave him a tired half-smile before linking my pinky with his and dragging him up the stairs behind me.

When we got to my room, I immediately curled up under the duvet with Draco right next to me, and I pulled the duvet over my head; until Draco yanked it down and tucked it under my chin. I huffed and pulled it back over my head; and he tucked it under my chin again.

I turned over to him abruptly and gave him an aggravated look. "Stop doing that." I snapped.

"No, you're going to suffocate." he said back, just as angrily.

"Wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing." I mumbled quietly as I closed my eyes and tried going to sleep.

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked, sitting up slightly and giving me an offended look.

How do you even tell the boy that you're falling in love with that you wouldn't necessarily be upset if you were to die?

"Nothing, Draco. It was a joke." I reassured him as I waved him off dismissively.

"Yeah, it better be a fucking joke." he sneered angrily, placing a hand on my back and yanking me closer towards him.

He placed an arm around my body and rested his chin on my head as he pulled the duvet up slightly. As I inhaled and exhaled, his scent invaded my senses, helping me to easily fall asleep.
