Just Friends ; Draco Malfoy

"i just feel better when i'm around you"

It was Thanksgiving day and mother had already forced me into a ball gown. The dress was a long silk red color, hugging my waist, then draping right below my hips. The fabric hugged me well, some would even say too well. I admired myself in the mirror for a moment, brushing down the extra fabric before finally grabbing my small clutch. "Ready?"  I turned, seeing as he wore an all black turtle neck, coat, pants, and some fancy shoes to match.

"Very." He grinned at my reply, sticking out his arm for me to wrap around my own.

We'd arrived to the ball within a few minutes, quickly joining in on the fun. I smiled as Draco twirled me around, blushing as he pulled me close. "Young," I sent him questioning eyes, the motion giving him reason to carry on. "To be honest with you, you look quite.. well, pretty." I gave him a look, never expecting the word 'pretty' to leave Draco Malfoy's mouth of all people.

"Well, Malfoy, you look quite pretty yourself." He immediately scoffed at my words, dipping me without a warning causing me to squeal. I could see Narcissa smiling from the corner of my eye, as I watched Lucius admire with a soft gaze. "Your parent's are staring at us."

"Where?" He started turning but I only pulled his head back around with my hands. "Must of enjoyed m-"

"Shut the fuck up. I'm trying to help you from embarrassing yourself." He just rolled his eyes, pulling my hands away and continuing to dance.

"Attention," we turned, seeing a rather preppy man tapping his glass in front of us all.
"Today we're gathered here from many places around the world. I'd like to thank you all for coming on such short notice, and thank you for keeping the Paris tradition alive!" A few claps were heard, the man desperately waiting for them to stop. "Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy." After the man walked over to his seat Draco sent me another look, almost immediately pulling me to the tables.

"Draco, but I want to dance." I began whining, not wanting to sit at a table with my parent's any longer than I had to.

"Be a good girl, Young and behave." I shivered at the nickname, my face going paler than it already was. Draco smirked, pulling his face to my ear. "Be a good little slut... just for me." I bit my lip, not even acknowledging his words as I threw my arms one over the other and continued on my way to the table without him.

"So, Elizabeth... have you found anyone else that's suitable yet?" Narcissa's tone was obviously nervous, pulling on the tips of her nails as she spoke. I cleared my throat before talking, only to give the simplest answer of,

"No." I went into a coughing fit as I saw Draco grinning from the corner of my eye, making me turn away till he grabbed my thigh under the table and it's fancy cloth. I put my hand on top of his, a light pink filling his cheeks. Draco Malfoy had become flustered. "Excuse m-"

"Us." I gave him an odd look, but just went with it grabbing his hand as we exited the dining room. I noticed heads turning from the littlest of our small doing, others not giving a single care about who we were or where we were going.

-

"It's fucking freezing out here. Where are we going?" Draco huffed, as he hugged his arm's tightly around himself; my hand still intact with his.

"You excused yourself, so you can just shut the fuck up and walk faster." He sent me another one of his famous death stares, before he did exactly what I'd asked of him to.

"Slow down." I whined out, a smirk filling his lips before he cupped my cheeks.

"Am I going too fast for you, Young?" His smirk only grew as my eyes widened.

"I- I didn't mean it like tha-" Then I was cut off. Not by his words, but by his lips. I couldn't help but smile into them, the doing giving him full access to my mouth. I tried, but I couldn't help but let a moan escape into his mouth as he dug his hands further into my hair.

Then it stopped. The heat was gone, the passion was gone, the feelings were all... gone. I slightly frowned, as he just grabbed my hand back. "Why'd you pull away? I-" I began to stutter again, Draco just looking at me in pure bliss.

"I don't know but," he tightened his hand around mine, pulling me along the dark streets with ease. "I just feel better when I'm around you."
