- astoria greengrass had developed a friendship with ron weasley after the war.
- they even dated for a short amount of time when he was on a break from granger.
- and that made draco grit his teeth.
- draco was naturally the jealous type as it was, but it was worse that of all people, her ex-boyfriend had to be a weasley.
- he paced around their flat as she was out to lunch with ron.
- he knew it wasn’t a date; astoria was trustworthy.
- hell, ron was back together and engaged to granger at this point.
- but he still did not like that she was alone with him.
- he felt pathetic; he did not want to be controlling like his father.
- he nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the front door open.
- she was home, and her long hair was wet and stringy from the rain.
- “draco?” she called, “are you home?”
- he took a deep breath and walked toward the doorway.
- “yeah stori, i’m here.”
- she smiled brightly and kissed his cheek once he approached her.
- usually, that would make him blush.
- but this time, he didn’t have a reaction.
- puzzled, she furrowed her brows.
- “what’s wrong?” she asked him seriously, “did something happen with your father?”
- he shook his head and turned back toward the kitchen.
- “no, it’s not that,” he answered vaguely, “i’m just… tired.”
- he gripped the kitchen counter with his hand and turned around to face her.
- her arms were crossed, and she was leaning up against the wall.
- she figured it out, and she was annoyed.
- “how many times do i have to tell you that ron and i are just friends, draco? i would never cheat on you.”
- “you don’t get it.”
- “clearly, you don’t trust me.”
- “it has nothing to do with you, it has to do with him!”
- she took a step toward him, and her brows furrowed even more. but this time, they furrowed from anger.
- “ron is engaged to hermione! he would never do that to her. do you really think i would associate myself with a cheater? this is about you not trusting me, draco. don’t turn this around on ron!”
- he waved his arms in the air exasperated.
- “you seriously don’t get it!” he yelled, “it isn’t about me thinking you’re secretly together again or something! it’s about ron weasley being better than me, alright?”
- stunned, her shoulders relaxed, and she took another hesitant step forward.
- she placed her hand soflty on his forearm.
- he stayed rigid.
- “draco, ron is not better than you.”
- “he’s a better person, he always has been. he is the type of person you deserve.”
- “don’t say that,” she pleaded, “i want to be with you.”
- “why?” he asked her seriously, “it makes no sense.”
- she cupped his cheek with her petite hand.
- “because you are loyal, you are intelligent, and you are so so good. you are not your father, draco. you never have been. all those horrible things you did, you have made them right now. you didn’t want to do those things in the first place! i love you with all my heart.”
- he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
- he suddenly felt her small lips on his, and she kissed him softly.
- she pulled away too soon and put their foreheads together.
- “i’m sorry,” he whispered, “i love you, too.”
- she didn’t reply to him verbally. instead, she kissed him again.
- and this time, he hoped she would never stop.
