SOOOOOO, I'm late with this chapter because I have been struggling with the time frame. Every day would be great, but exhausting and way too long in the long run. I'm going to start putting more gaps and write about the important stuff.
Thank you to Me-and-eM for all your wonderful reviews, they are great! Here is the next chapter, dedicated to Me-and-eM, the amazing Russian ; )
Draco was exhausted. The last week had been one of the longest in his life. He not only had to play catch up with all the homework he had missed during the holidays, but he also had to do all the homework given to him this term. That was just the beginning; he had to dodge all his angry housemates so every night was a nightmare of making sure his door was warded enough so no one could get in, he had to endure all the taunting surrounding his parent's divorce while maintaining his cold persona and then there was Remus. Every night the dreams came to him, no pun intended. Some nights Remus would make long, sweet love to him, showing Draco just he means to Remus. Other nights they would just fuck like animals, over and over again, even when Draco couldn't keep going Remus did. And every morning he had a mess to clean up. Draco felt like a 13 year old who had just discovered what his dick did and it annoyed him! He was meant to have control over his body and his emotions by now and yet every night he proved that he didn't. He was ashamed that all his fantasies revolved around a man who wouldn't even look at him twice. He hated that he was pining after someone who would never be interested in him. Then again, who would ever be interested in him? Draco was the son of one of the most well-known Death Eaters in the wizarding world, was a bastard who treated those around him with disgust, scorn and hatred and he was a selfish fool. He had to put these thoughts of Remus out of his head, before they made him do something crazy.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "May the force be with you!" shouted Blaise from outside his door, "Now let me in you miserable ass!" Draco couldn't help but laugh at that. As he got up to let Blaise in he couldn't help but be amazed. Every day Blaise sat with him, treating him with a kindness he didn't feel he deserved, and every night Blaise came to his room and they did their homework together and then they talked about anything and everything. He was glad he apologised, Blaise was an awesome friend. Draco opened the door and blinked. "What on earth are you carrying?" He asked Blaise. Blaise was holding potion bottles, a picnic basket and a whole bunch of what looked like torture instruments to Draco. "Really darling," Blaise replied with one eyebrow lifted, "Has it been that long since you have done you hair? Or your nails?" He dumped everything on Draco's bed and whirled round to face him. Blaise took in Draco's face, clutched at his chest, and gasped in horror. "OH MY MERLIN! It has hasn't it! Well don't worry baby, Blaise is going to rectify that right away!" He quickly summoned up a chair and before Draco could think of any excuses he was seated. The chair was soft and comfy and had an automatic massage feature that nearly had Draco moaning in pleasure. "Blaise, I can't-" "Oh no, no cannots, will nots and refuse tos! I am going to make you look gorgeous tonight and you have no say in it!" Blaise stood right in front of Draco, legs spread and his hands on his hips, "Do you understand me?" Draco nodded. "But how can I repay you for this?" Blaise shook his head. "This is what friends do. I WANT to do it and therefore I WILL. I don't need something in return. Now, sit back and relax. I'm going to make you even more gorgeous!" So Draco did just that. He sat back, relaxed and followed Blaise's simple commands; "Drink this. Move this there. Close eyes, open them" for the next three hours. In that time one word reverberated through his head. FRIEND! Draco had never had a true friend. He had allies and acquaintances, bodyguards and followers but never a true friend. He was over joyed, yet he was scared at the same time. What if he messed this up? Would Blaise forgive him again if he did or said something stupid? Merlin, he did not want to mess this up!
"All right, you can look now!" Blaise turned the chair with a flourish and Draco got a good look at himself. His hair now reached the middle of his back thanks to a hair lengthening potion, with a few bangs that reached mid neck. His skin was glowing and clear, his nails had been manicured, his feet pedicured and his eyebrows tamed. "All you need now is some piercings." Came the wistful sigh from Blaise. Draco couldn't help it; the emotions that had been playing through his body made him an emotional mess. "Blaise… I … Its amazing," He turned to Blaise, "Thank you," he said, tears starting to make their way down his face, "Thank you so much." Blaise suddenly found himself with an armful of grateful Draco. Blaise stroked Draco's hair, "Baby, it's an absolute pleasure. Now, dry those tears we wouldn't want puffy eyes to ruin the look and lets go eat some of the snacks I brought along." Draco stepped back, wiping his tears away. "M'kay" he mumbled. The long week along with his emotional outburst had exhausted him and he needed to sleep. "Now, I have some fruit, mainly strawberries I know how much you love them, some cinnamon biscuits and that heavenly dark chocolate from Honeydukes. Now eat up, you must be starving." They lay back and started eating, Blaise's replies getting shorter and shorter the later it got. Finally Draco looked over and saw Blaise curled up in a ball, fast asleep. Draco gently removed everything from the bed, pulled the covers up over Blaise and lay beside him. This was his small way of saying thank you, there was no need to wake him and send him off. Besides, it felt kind of nice to have someone in bed with him. What would it feel like if it was Remus? Ran through Draco's head as he fell asleep…
Well, I hoped you liked the randomness of that, just thought there should be a little bit of happiness somewhere. I have another question to pose to my readers- should Draco get a piercing and if so where? All suggestions would be welcome. I am also sorry about the shortness, but I hope it was good anyway.
To Me-and-eM I hope the paragraph spaces are better. If not, just say so and I shall fix it for my next chapter.
Hope you enjoyed, please review, it makes my inner fan girl happy ; P
