"I need to tell you something." Draco said wearily. He ran a hand through his fine blonde hair. Any onlooker could see that his expression was strained, as if it pained him to accomplish whatever he was going to tell her.

"Yes?" Hermione asked expectantly. She nudged her bookmark between the pages of her new read, and carefully set it down on the table beside her.

He would do it, he thought to himself. Today is the day. No holding back.

"I like you." he blurted out quickly before he could stop himself. That was simple, more than he'd care to admit. Hermione blushed at his confession. She had known about his little crush since their first year at Hogwarts, though was surprised he had acted on it.

Hermione looked at him, smiled, and replied calmly, "I like you, too."

A look of surprise crossed Draco's face. He didn't expect that. What he had prepared himself for was rejection, perhaps something thrown at him, but not that she like him too.

"Really?" he questioned, still in disbelief. His eyes had widened like a small child whose mother offered them money to go buy candy.

"Really." she echoed back, getting up from the couch. Hermione crossed the fluffy black carpet to where Draco was standing nervously, wringing his hands. Rocking on the balls of his feet, he stared at her as she walked even closer until she stood right in front of him. Draco cleared his throat, looking down to properly see her eyes. Before Hermione's brain could talk her into seeing reason, she rose up on her toes and pressed a slight kiss on his cheek.

"I'm glad we're going out into the open with our feelings." she announced softly, pushing away a small strand of hair that had fallen over Draco's face.
