REJECTION HURTS

DRACO'S POV

I staggered as I stood up from the floor of the hallway. I heard foot steeps coming and I'll be damned if I was going to let anyone see me laying on the floor. I turned and bumped into Blaise who looked at me with raised eyebrows, but he didn't comment on my swollen jaw or broken nose. I watched Blaise as he dug around in his pocket and then handed me a handkerchief with the initials B.A.Z on it. I smiled at Blasie's nickname before pressing it to my nose. Blaise then grabbed me by the forearm and dragged me into a compartment with only one first year.

"Out," Blaise firmly told the student who hurriedly gathered his trunk and backpack and got lost. Blaise gave me a gentle shove into the compartment and I plopped down into one of the seats. Blaise then went out and "rescued" my trunk from another curious first year. Only after stowing both our trunks and owls up on the rail did he look at me again. I turned to look out the window. I knew the pain that I felt was etched on my face in both tears and blood.

Blaise sighed. He only did that when he didn't have the whole story or all the pieces to a problem.

End POV

Blaise did not know what happened with to his friend but he was shocked that Draco, an ice prince who rarely showed any emotions was crying openly. Blaise dug into his pocket to pull out his wand and pointing it at Draco's face. He scowled when he saw his best friend flinch. Years of abuse from his father made Draco far too jumpy. If Lucious wasn't a Death Eater Blaise wasn't sure if he could have stopped himself from killing the man years ago.

"Epeski," Blaise mumbled and watched as the blonde winced as his nose went back to its proper shape.

"Why couldn't it be you?" Draco mumbled to himself. "It hurts already Blaise. The rejection, it's so painful," Draco said a little louder as he turned to look up at him. Draco's hand was clutching at the front of his jumper as Blaise slid into the seat next to him and pulled him to his chest, holding him as he started to sob again. When he shivered, Blaise murmured words of encouragement without knowing what was going on.

During their break he hadn't heard anything from Draco that could explain this. Draco had stopped answering his owls a while ago so something must of happened since then, but now was not the time to push him.

A/n: BLAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIISEEEEEE I love that dude! He's so good looking in the films too, heh anyway I forgot to ask you guys to guess where Lucious was in the first chapter :{ woops, anyhow Blaise the softy is heart warming isn't it?
