'' Marry me.''

I stared wide-eyed at the boy in front of me, breaths hitched in the back of my throat as the air in my lungs tightened, the strokes of early morning sun slipped through the cracks of the curtains, '' What did you say—,''

'' Marry me.''

He repeated it, more than confident, more than real, as if this was all he ever wanted to do — to spend the rest of his life with me.

I shook my head, squeezing my eyes shut, '' You don't mean that—,'' My vocals left in airy stutters, '' There is no way you could possibly—,''

'' You're not thinking clearly, Draco—,''

He stepped back, walking around his bed to open the squeaking drawer in his nightstand, '' I am. I am thinking clearly, Leiah.'' He mumbled as he picked something up, taking long strides back to me, '' I wanted to do this before I left—,''

My jaws dropped, the lingering feeling swirled my mind,

'' I wanted to ask you months ago, but I couldn't leave you with such a question — without knowing if I would make it back to you,''

My heart pounded harder than ever,

'' I refused to do that, even if it was all I wished for—,''

My eyes pricked in tears,

'' But I am here now, and I'm never leaving you, ever again. "

" It's you and me,''

I swallowed, my eyes flicked up to please his, feeling my blood rushing, my body burning, '' Draco—,'' I breathed out, slightly shaking my head,

'' You don't—,''

'' I do. I do mean that. I do mean this. Every single word of it. So Leiah—,''

'' Will you marry me?''

I stared at him, trying to find the slightest flash of hesitation, the mildest sight of dubiety — but there was none. His eyes glinted in honesty, his face soothed softly.

He wanted this.

He wanted me.

I sucked in a harsh breath, eyes snapping to the breathtaking band of silver held in between his fingertips, a clear rock coating it, '' Draco. I can't—,''

His hand searched for mine, stretching it up between us before he slipped the ring on, the corner of his mouth lightly twitched into a shy smile, his pale cheeks blushed in color,

'' I'll take that as a yes then?'' He sought to mock, the burning tears failed me as I looked at it, how my hand felt made for his, how the ring fitted my fingers most perfectly.

A sob fled my throat as I threw my arms around his neck, pulling him straight into me, '' Yes.''

'' Yes.''

'' Yes.''

'' Yes.''

'' I will marry you, Draco Malfoy,''

I felt his arms tugging me onto him, hand grasping at my thighs to wrap my legs around him, '' Yes you will—,'' He hummed, noses brushing against each other, our lips an inch apart, '' You will marry me,'' My hands moved up to his hair, tangling my fingers into the soft blonde strands before our lips collided,

In the total need for each other.

I forgot about him. I deliberately pushed him out of my mind, but not anymore. I was his, and he, he was mine.

His lips eagerly matched mine, tongues battling for territory as he flipped me onto the bed, my spine nailed into the mattress as he pinned my hands over my head, '' Since you agreed to be mine for the rest of our lives—,'' He smirked into my parted lips,

'' Allow me to start it off with this—,''

Draco allowed his teeth to nibble on my bottom lip, with one hand still pinning my arms over my head as he hauled up his wand, muttering, ''Muffliato''  underneath his breath. I felt the aching feeling in between my legs pulsating at his doings, knowing precisely what that spell meant when he was the one to cast it,

He threw his wand across the room, his head dipping down to kiss the tender skin of my neck, '' This crook—,'' He fanned, licking a flat stripe up my throat, '' This fucking crook,''

The tingling feeling shuddered throughout my body caused my back to arch up to his chest, sensing it lightly rising and falling into mine,

'' My perfect crook,''

He licked another stripe up the hazy skin behind my ear, breathing heavily into it, '' Is it, darling? Is all of this—,'' He tore away, letting his hands off me as he kneeled back, biting his lip as he watched me squirm in excitement, '' Is all of this mine?'' His word left in raspy vocals,

'' Draco, please—,'' I quietly begged, feeling my core caving within, every single inch of nerves held on edge, the look in his eyes starved, he needed me, he haven't felt me in this way for months, and now — I laid right in front of him, for him to do whatever he pleases with,

The blonde boy grinned devilishly, his hands moved to wrap around my lower back, pulling me closer, '' I need you to answer me. Is all of this—,'' His eyes fled down my figure, '' Mine?'' - a shaky breath escaped my lips as I nodded,

'' All of this is yours—,'' His jaws clenched at my words, the muscle in them twitched as he pulled my shirt off my head, blue eyes plastered onto my chest, dipping down to gently suck on my buds,

My head arched in pleasure, bucking my hips into his as he pinned me down again, still sucking on my sensitive nipples, '' All mine—,'' He groaned, pushing himself off to draw my underwear down,

'' Only, only mine—,''

He held me right on the firm line to explode — I couldn't take it anymore. I needed to feel him. At this moment, I craved for him to give me more, to force himself inside me, to fill me up with everything he had,

I yanked my arms away from his grip, tucking them in between us to drag his pants and boxers down, " Such a needy little girl, aren't you?" He hummed into my hair, nearly chuckling,

" My needy girl—,"

Draco let his clothes off him, his hand wrapped around his cock as he lightly pumped it up and down,

My chest felt more than heavy against his, sensing the tip of his length stroking up and down my folds, '' Do you want me to—,'' I didn't let him finish that sentence — I merely rocked my hips into his, making his dick thrust inside me, earing a loud growl from him, '' Fuck—,''

The blonde-boy didn't waste any time with me. He propped himself up with his hands on each side of me, coarsely forcing himself in and out, fucking me with the longing he had felt for months — not giving me any chance to adjust to his size, '' Fuck —, I missed you,'' He grunted, his head diving down to kiss me, to moan into my parted lips as he quickened his speed,

The hard pounding nearly sent me over the edge, my nerves wholly twisted in ecstasy as I dug my fingers into his arms, nails scratching to keep focus, to not lose myself in the pleasure of him — but it had been too long, months since I felt him like this, and I needed the relief, '' Are you going to cum for me?'' He mocked, moving to trail wet, soft kisses over my neck, sensing how my body shook underneath his,

The moans fleeing my lips as he sucked on my skin, fucking me mercilessly, turned into muffled screams, making me chew on my bottom lip to not lose my breath, '' I want you on top, darling—,''

'' Get on top of me, now—,''

Draco pushed back, rolling us over as I straddled him, feeling his iced fingers digging into my hips. He started to buck into me while rocking my body over his — dark raspy groans scored loud from the back of his throat as I squeezed my eyes shut, feeling the knot inside nearly untangle — every vein in my body heated, my cheeks flushed,

The feeling of this was overwhelming, he shoved his spine off the mattress, wrapping his arms around me as I lowered myself even more — this position filled me up thoroughly, his hard cock reached places that made my eyes roll back, my whimpers stuck in my throat,

'' Draco—, I'm—,'' I heaved, my head falling to his shoulder, my hands tugging at his hair as my back arched by the feeling of my orgasm swallow me whole,

My entire self trembling as he kept going, fucking me throughout my high, '' Such a good girl,'' He bites, his hands glued to my waist as he slowed down, '' I'm—,'' He hewed himself off, holding me close, feeling the warmth of his peak flushing up inside,

'' This—,'' Draco's hands grasped over every inch of skin before cupping my cheeks to look at him, '' All of this is mine, don't you ever forget that—,''

Draco Malfoy,

I loved holding her this way, to have her head on my chest, my arms wrapped around her, our legs entwined. It feels as if nothing of the last six months passed, as if we simply never lived apart.

I asked her to marry me.

The question I had been longing to ask her for every day while being away. The question I wished to ask her before I left in the first place but never dared to. I was afraid that she would turn me down, that she believed to deserve better — but she didn't. She wanted me, she said yes, and now — now she will be mine, for infinity.

For as long as this world allowed us to be,

Looking at her, as she laid so gently, almost on top of me, her soft skin brushing against mine, made my heart race, and the sight of her, fiddling with the ring I had placed on her finger, ached inside. I never wanted it to be different than this.

I wanted this, right here, to last,

Her head arched at my silence, shyly smiling as she noticed that I was already staring at her, '' I thought you said it was rude to stare, Malfoy,'' Her soothing voice mocked me, earing a huff to flee my lips,

'' But as usual — I suppose your rules only applies to everyone but yourself, ''

My eyes rolled at her statement, pulling her even closer, '' You have a way with words, Leiah—,'' I snapped back, raising a brow at her amused looks,

'' Do you like it?'' I tilted my head at the ring coating her finger, making her look at it — her entire body flushed in warmth at my question,

'' I suppose so—,'' She shrugged,

I forced her back, nailing her down in the sheets as I towered over her, quite annoyed by the attempts to taunt me, '' You suppose so?'' I hissed, teeth gritted, lowering myself over her — peels of laugher escaped her throat at my doings,

'' And why is that that you simply—,''

'' Draco?''

My mother's urgent knocks on the door hewed us both off, locking our heads at the desperate shredding in her vocals, '' You two need to come downstairs immediately—,'' She held, sighing loudly,

'' Your father is home,''

______

Her warm fingers braided with my cold ones as she clung herself close, still frightened to meet my father after the last time she saw him — the night we both united with her father, and the night her best friend lost her life,

My father stood tall at the front door, nodding at the both of us as we walked closer, '' Miss. Riddle—,'' He cleared his throat, eyes grew wide the second they placed on or hands, tangled together,

'' Or should I say, soon to be Mrs. Malfoy?''

My mother gasped, her hand flew to muffle the sound by slapping her fingers over the red painted lips, '' Is it—,'' Tears pooled her eyes,

'' You asked her?''

With quick strides closer, she wrapped her arms around us, holding us tight, '' I see that congratulations are in order,''

The curly strands of hair tickled my forehead as I slightly pushed her back — the smile climbing her lips grew broad while looking down at Leiah, stroking a hand over her cheek,

''I knew that she would say yes. I just knew it—,''

'' If you don't mind me interrupting this very... joyful moment—,'' My father spoke from across the room, slamming his cane into the ground, '' I need to talk with miss....''

''Leiah,''

I felt my veins ice, my breaths hitched in disgust by him speaking her name, but he didn't do this to hurt us — I could tell that this was one of the more serious matters. He wouldn't have come back if it wasn't.

Leiah sought to slip out of the hold I had of her, to pull away from the touch I needed the most, politely nodding at my father — but that gesture only made my hand clench tighter around hers,

'' If this is about her, you can speak with all of us—,'' My mother broke the silence, placing a comforting arm on Leiah's shoulder, '' There is no need of hiding anything from anyone, Lucius.''

He shook his head at my mother disobedience, his face stretched in stone, cursing underneath his breath, '' As you all wish,'' The vocals tore in spite — she held onto me, tensing her fingers in the grip of mine,

'' It's alright—, no one can hurt you when I'm here,'' I mumbled into her head, trying to calm her down before looking back at my father, '' Go on—,''

He took a stride forward, swallowing the guilt I watched flashing through his numb eyes, '' The dark lord has come to mind about your secret, Leiah,''

The instant I caught onto his words, my eyes squeezed shut, my heart ached at the remembering of what I promised her best friend,

I promised Luna, never to tell Leiah about this, never to let anyone know about what she was, what she accidentally became when she was born,

'' My what?'' Leiah spoke in stutters, her face fell into grimace, brows furrowed before her eyes locked in mine, revealing the shame I felt for keeping her in the dark,

'' No—,'' She whispered, forcing herself away from me, '' Tell me, Draco,''

''Tell me what you've been lying about this time—,''

Her words shook my bravery, the cold act I always maintained washed away as I stared at her, seeing how much I knew I was about to hurt her, to take away all the happiness we just lived in,

But she promised to be mine, no matter what and I intend to hold her to that promise, even if all the secrets that is kept deep down, unravels,

My lips parted in speaking, but the look of her crushed my heart, '' I—,''

'' You are a Horcrux, Leiah—,'' My father voice made her flinch, spinning around to face him , '' And the dark lord is on his way here, to collect you,''

My eyes ripped off hers, eyeing the blonde-haired man down as my mother started pacing back and forth impatiently, '' Lucius—,'' She rose, marching up to him, '' In the kitchen please,'' My parents stormed off, yells and curses echoed loudly throughout the halls as they went,

She stood frozen before me, her jaws dropped, her eyes flickered in question, '' You knew about this?'' She finally spoke up, her fingertips twitched around the ring I gifted her with, '' You knew about this, and you didn't—,''

'' I promised her—,'' I blurted out, making her quiet down, arms dropped to her sides as she shook her head, the stray strands of hair fall gently over her shoulders,

'' No—, No—, She knew about this?'' Her eyes prickled in tears, her shoulders sunk, '' She wouldn't do that. She—, She wouldn't keep that from me—,'' Her voice broke,

'' Would she? I—,''

'' What does that even mean, Draco? A Horcrux?'' I strived stern steps towards her, slamming my body into hers, holding her close — no matter if she wanted me to or not because I knew, right now, she needed it.

'' A Horcrux is—,''

'' I know what it is, Draco."

" What I don't understand is what this means. Is he going to lock me up now? Take me away from everyone and everything?'' - a silent sob left her lips, burying her head in my chest,

'' Draco—,'' My mother urged, '' Can you follow me for a short moment,'' I felt Leiah's body tensing for a slight second before she let go of me, wiping her tears with the end of her sleeve,

My hands moved to her cheeks, cupping them, '' Go up to Blaise, and stay with him — I'll be there in a minute,'' My lips collided with their forehead, slightly breathing her in before I hauled back,

'' I'll be right there—,''

I walked around her, halting at the end of the room, making sure that she did as I asked, and she did. She walked her way up the stairs, finding her way to my best friend's room,

I stormed into the kitchen, my eyes snapped directly at my fathers, feeling my temper on the edge of bursting, '' Well?'' I hissed, shoving my hands into my pockets,

'' What is all of this about? Why did you make me—,''

'' You need to run, Draco.''

My heart stopped, my face fell as the disbelief pushed through my veins, '' What do you mean?'' I stuttered, shaking my head at my folks,

'' What do you mean by run?''

My mother gently peered over her shoulder, receiving a sharp nod from my father, '' The dark lord is taking her away, son. The intentions he has with her, is to lock her inside the Ravenclaw castle, under the security of many death eaters—, ''

The air in my lungs failed me, making my head dizzy, '' The two of you need to leave, now—,''

'' You need to leave, and you can't come back,''
