Couple: Draco/Hermione
Prompts used: Rainy Days, Heartbeat
Her ginger-haired husband reminds her of the sun. He reminds her of the warm summer days when she was a child, sitting outside reading a book as the wind blows her hair wildly around. But those sunny days weren't so great for her, because those days she was alone, so very alone.
She prefers the rain, because when it rains it reminds her of friends. When she went to Hogwarts everything was dark. But she had friends, and that was all that mattered.
The blond man that lays beside her reminds her of rainy days. He's pale like there is no sun, and his eyes are gray like a storm. His house is dark, like those cold days that she loves so much.
She opens her eyes, looking up at him. He stares back at her, a slight smile on his lips. She moves her hand to place it over his heart, feeling it beat under her fingertips. She wishes she never has to leave, but her husband will be awake soon; there are kids to feed and chores to be done.
So she sits up, clutching to blanket to her chest.
"You have to go, don't you?" he asks, his smile disappearing.
"Yes." she sighs.
"He doesn't deserve you, you know." he says, still lying there staring up at her.
She feels the urge to protect the boy who has been her friend since she was only eleven.
"And you do?" she snaps, but regrets it when he cringes against his pillow.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." she says softly.
"It's true though." he says, closing his eyes.
She lays back down next to him, putting her hand on his cold cheek. He opens his eyes again, staring at her.
"I love you." she says, trying to make up for what she said, "I'll stay here if you want."
"I'd like that." he smiles, pressing his lips to her neck.
She doesn't care what happens with her and her sun, she prefers rainy days anyways.
