Prompt: wrong
For M&MWP Drabble Tag with the prompt: frozen bodies
It's become a routine, and deep down, you know it's probably wrong. Probably…
But you convince yourself that he needs you, because you always did like being needed, didn't you Cissy? But your husband is in Azkaban, and Draco is off trying to be Draco again without you. And perhaps you should follow his lead, but you don't. Instead you wander the streets for the sake of being somewhere that isn't home, because if home is where the heart is, then you don't have one anymore.
So, you stand at the corner of Knockturn and Diagon, and you watch as this hopeless boy gets kicked out of the pub again, and you go over and you begin to tell him off. But you can't do that for long, because he gives you that cheeky grin that makes you melt inside despite the below freezing temperature that makes you both shiver.
And unconsciously you're clinging to each other, your frozen bodies searching for warmth that they can't find at the bottom of a bottle, or with a lover. Because that's not what he is. And it's not what you want.
(No, no, that's not what you want.)
He's an unbelievable disaster, this boy. He's all slurred speeches, and failed attempts at flattery, and he's always whining about Dean.
"Dean's not here anymore, Seamus," you remind him. And it kills you to make him sad.
He really is an unbelievable, utterly beautiful disaster, this boy. So you Apparate him back to the empty Malfoy Manor and help him stumble up the stairs. And when you stop to consider, it sounds so wrong, but all you do is give him a blanket and a couch to sleep on for the night.
(Yes, yes, that's all.)
But sometimes, you don't go up to bed like you say you're going to. The fire in the parlor is just so cozy, and you're not bothering him are you?
Because sometimes you think it might be nice to have someone to be lonely with. And maybe that someone could be Seamus.
And maybe he doesn't need you.
Maybe you need him.
