Entered in:
Scrabble Challenge, prompt: jittery
The Ultimate Shipping Challenge Extravaganza, prompt: Draco and Ginny
Lost (and Found)
Warm smiles. Listening ears. Holding hands.
That's all he is constantly longing for,
A mother who cares,
A father who listens
And a family who would know him more
than he would know himself.
Softer yells. Lesser Noise. Slower smiles.
That's all she is perennially on the search for,
A mother to pour her heart out to
A father to read bedtime stories with
And brothers who'd take her to the skies
with them, instead of leaving her staring on the ground.
Tentative glances. Nervous gestures. Shy smiles.
She peeked at him from behind the shelves,
Staring at him (just as much
as he stared at her)
With questions in her wide eyes
that her lips just couldn't ask.
Jittery hands. Fumbling words. Cautious stares.
The redhead's temper was famous
(As were her rather terrifying siblings)
And he wondered if he was doing the right thing,
Waiting wanting hoping (for the right moment)
That seemed to never come…
She made the first move
(It had always been her)
It began with a smile
That brought a slight colour to his pale cheeks
It soon progressed to conversations
Short
Conscious
Then long, abandoned, rambling
He truly felt alive when she kissed him for the first time
(Again, it had always been her)
He felt his soul stirs in ways
Unimaginable
She felt her heart jump with joy
With the attention he showered her with
In each other they found
Everything they'd truly
Lacked
Needed
Desired
Hoped
and Lost
They were two pieces of a puzzle;
Imperfectly perfect,
Perfectly imperfect.
Writing Draco/Ginny after far too long :) Please do let me know what you think :)
