what love means to me
Daphne was the one that skipped from boy to boy, merrily on her way, sowing seeds of {lust} and {infatuation} but never l O v E... until Blaise
"Do you love me Blaise?" Daphne asked,
careful to keep her tone light, playful. The boy beside her cocked an eyebrow,
"I thought love was a myth, Daph."
His words were soft and maybe wistfully as he repeated the words she had thrown out,
{to desperate boys} carelessly throughout the years.
She bit her lip and responded in kind,
"I thought it depended on who you were with, Blaise"
Throwing back his words.
"I don't know what you're asking me, Daph. I don't know what love is to you"
The words were spoken quietly but there was a certain bitterness in his voice,
{what did love mean to her?}
"Would you step in front of a killing curse for me?"
She looked straight into his eyes, snaring his gaze, contemplating his reaction.
He stared right back, gaze unwavering before saying steadily,
"Of course"
Daphne swallowed, looking away breaking the intimate contact.
"If you loved me you'd stand beside me. I wouldn't want to live in a world with you"
She stared out over the lake, glittering in the fading sunlight before whispering,
"I love you, Blaise Zabini"
"Took you long enough"
