Can't You See?
A/N - I Don't Own Anything!
Can't you see?
The way he looks at you when he thinks no one watching? The way his eyes light up when you laugh? The way his face falls in agony before his expression closes off in a stone cold mask when you kiss her?
Don't you know?
That he glances at you every time he rejects someone? That he smiles the most breathtaking smile any time your name is mentioned? That after you said Finnigan and Thomas were disgusting fags and stopped talking to them he cried in prefect's bathroom for four hours, his sobs so heart wrenching that anyone passing felt tears spring to their eyes, and that he flinches every time you glare at them with eyes full of hatred?
Didn't you notice?
How he searches for your god awful hair every time he enters a room? How he smiles happily when he finds you in the crowd? How his eyes sparkle the most amazing color of emerald when you smile and wave him over? How his smile fades when he sees her next to you, and his eyes clench in pain when you put your arm around her, before he turns and walks away?
Have you realized?
He needs you so much, but you are never there? His heartbreak as he realizes you will never love him like I already do? He avoids you more and more with each passing day? His sad smile as he comes to terms with the fact that he will always be alone? Him watching you from a distance, wondering when you will notice that he's gone?
Aren't you surprised?
When you finally look around and notice he isn't beside you anymore? When you can't remember the last time you talked to him, three weeks ago? When you see he only smiles sadly at you when you call his name, before walking away? When you finally understand that he is avoiding you. When three months later, you wake up in the middle of the night to see him sneak out of the dorm room? When you wake up to the same sight every night? When you finally decide to follow him and he goes up to the Astronomy Tower shivering in the cold darkness, looking into the shadows? When I step out of them?
Did you?
Fumble for your wand, your pale face making your freckles stand out all the more? Gasp in shock as he reaches towards me before pulling me to him and crashing our hungry lips together? Stumble back a step as we break for air? Level your wand at me before noticing the smile on his face as he sighs in happiness? Eyes widening in understanding when we both gaze lovingly into each others eyes as I gently caress his face? Slowly lower your wand, backing away before turning to go back to bed? Glance back just to see us looking over towards you?
You nod in acceptance with a soft smile saying, "Be good to him, Malfoy."
"Always," I say tightening my arms around Harry as he smiles, the worry falling off of his face to be replaced with pride, joy, and love.
"Always," I whisper to him, our foreheads resting against each others.
The End
