Draco Malfoy: Voice cracking Why do you always look away? Can't you see I... tears stream down his face care?
oh…w-wait malfoy, why are you- I turn around to see him breaking down in the bathroom
Draco turns away from you, trying to hide his tears, but fails. Draco Malfoy: sniffle I... I need to tell you something. He wipes his tears, trying to compose himself.
I hug him tightly It’s okay, I’m here for you…
Draco's body stiffens at first, surprised by your unexpected embrace. But then he slowly relaxes into the hug, burying his face into your shoulder, his voice choked with emotion. Draco Malfoy: I'm sorry... I'm sorry for everything I've said and done to you. I never wanted to hurt you. I just... I didn't know how else to deal with my feelings.
I’m sorry…i didn’t know…hugs him i want to be here for you….
Draco freezes for a moment, caught off guard by your unexpected hug, but slowly relaxes into your embrace, burying his face in your shoulder. His voice trembles as he speaks, his words choked with emotion. "I... I don't know why, but I feel safer when you're near me. I hate myself for being weak like this, but... I can't help it."
I hug him tightly I…i care too
Draco hugs you back, holding onto you tightly, as if afraid you'll disappear. His tears continue to fall, staining your shoulder.
Draco Malfoy: Sniffles I don't understand...why do I feel this way about you?
I am Mattheo Riddle, Tom Riddles older brother Mattheo walks over to draco
Draco Malfoy lifts his head and looks up at Mattheo Riddle. His eyes are red from crying, and he's still sniffling, trying to compose himself. Draco Malfoy: "H-Hey..." he says weakly, his voice cracking slightly.
I hug him tightly Of course I know… and I feel the same way.
His body trembles as he clings to you, burying his face in your shoulder, his voice a whisper. You do? You really do? His breath catches in his throat as he struggles to believe your words.
because you’re usually being mean to me.. I say softly
Draco looks at you with sadness in his eyes
Draco Malfoy: I know... I don't know why I act like that sometimes. It's just... easier than facing how I really feel.
i have feelings for you too draco
Draco looks up, eyes wide with surprise and disbelief Draco Malfoy: R-really? You do? But... why?
I hug him tightly You're my best friend, of course I care about you!
Draco hugs you back, burying his head in your shoulder You're the only one who hasn't given up on me... The only one who sees me as more than just a spoiled rich kid...
i walk over to him and wrap my arms around his waist, pulling him into me i know, malfoy. i’ve known for a while now…
His body trembles as you pull him closer, his usual confident demeanor shattered. Draco Malfoy: sniffle You...you do? But I've been such a jerk to you. Why would you... tears continue to stream down his face as he buries his head in your shoulder
I look up to him, wiping his tears away You’re right, Draco. I’m sorry… I’ve been so focused on myself that I haven’t noticed how much you’ve been hurting.
He looks at you with a mix of surprise and vulnerability You... noticed? But you never pay attention to me. I thought I was just... annoying you. He sniffles and tries to compose himself
Draco is taken aback by your unexpected embrace, his body tense at first. But after a moment, he relaxes into your arms, burying his face against your shoulder, his tears dampening your clothes. He clings to you tightly, his voice barely above a whisper
Draco Malfoy: You're... not disgusted by me?
looks into your eyes i..i just never thought…you’d like me back….i’m sorry…I’ve been so focused on myself i didn’t notice until now…
Draco looks at you, his eyes filled with vulnerability and a hint of disbelief
Draco Malfoy: You've been...focusing on yourself? He laughs bitterly, wiping away his tears with his sleeve Of course you would. I'm just a pathetic loser, after all.
I hug him tightly it’s ok.. let it all out…
Draco's body trembles as he clings to you, his head buried in your shoulder. His grip tightens, and he takes a shuddering breath, trying to compose himself. Draco Malfoy: I... I can't stop thinking about you. Every day, every night, you're all I can think about. It's driving me insane.
I’m sorry Draco… I’ve been so focused on myself lately.. it’s just hard being an exchange student here.. I don’t know where I belong..
Draco wipes his tears away, trying to compose himself. "Exchange student, huh?" He looks at you, curiosity and interest flickering in his eyes. "Where are you from?"
I walk over to him, concerned by his mental state Are you okay?
Draco looks up at you, his eyes red and puffy from crying
Draco Malfoy: Sniffling No, I'm not okay. I can't take it anymore... the loneliness, the bullying, everything. It's all too much. And the worst part is, I can't stop thinking about you.
oh shit… come here… I open my arms for him
Draco Malfoy hesitantly approaches you, looking vulnerable and emotional, with tears still streaming down his face. He slowly steps into your embrace, letting his guard down and allowing himself to be vulnerable.
I put my arm around him I know you do…
Draco's body trembles as he leans into your touch. His eyes are puffy and red from crying. Draco Malfoy: sniffle Y-you do? Why do you think I... I always push you away?
…you care?..I asked softly, sitting next to him.
sniffles Of course I do. I've been trying to push you away, but... I can't help it. Every time I look at you, I feel... He takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself...something I can't explain.
