11. A Malfoy and a Weasley?
-Draco-
Draco watched Ron run away. Many thoughts and feelings were churning in Draco's head right then. He'd started out the evening happy to be on patrol with Ron. They'd even joked together and Draco had started thinking that maybe they could be friends. It didn't seem like Ron hated Draco any more.
And then Ron had kissed him. Draco could hardly believe it. Even though Ron had been nice to Draco, it was a big jump from being nice to kissing. Except that it hadn't been, actually.
Partly, Draco was surprised that the Gryffindor would kiss another boy at all. He never suspected that Ron was gay. But even if he had, he wouldn't have thought Ron would feel that way about him!
So, Draco wondered about that. But he was also wondering about himself. How did he feel about Ron? Draco reached his hand up to his mouth and touched his lips. It had only been a small kiss, but his lips were still tingling with the memory.
Draco realised that he was still sitting on the floor in the hallway, so he got up. He went back to his dormitory and went to bed. But he didn't sleep. Instead, he thought about the situation.
Unlike Ron, Draco already knew that he liked both boys and girls. He had done some experimenting the year before and he didn't have any problem with it. Whatever a Malfoy wanted, a Malfoy should get -- that was his motto.
And now Draco started to wonder if he wanted the redhead. He had been so caught up with his problems of money that he hadn't stopped to examine his feelings.
But now he did. He thought about how Ron had looked before, when he had Draco pinned to the ground. His red hair was falling over his forehead and his blue eyes were looking right into Draco's. When Ron had leaned in, Draco felt his heart jump inside him.
The kiss was soft and sweet. Draco could still feel Ron's lips pressing gently against his own. At the time, he had been so surprised he hadn't done anything. But now Draco found himself wishing that he had held on to Ron and started kissing him more.
Draco started daydreaming about Ron. He would have put his hands on Ron's shoulders, which were broad and muscular, and pushed Ron's mouth open with his tongue. Then Ron would lie down next to Draco and they would press their bodies together while they kissed.
The thoughts were starting to make Draco breathe hard. But would he get the chance to make them a reality? Ron probably thought that Draco was mad at him now.
Draco would just have to find a way to let Ron know that it was OK. But then Draco had a sudden thought. Even though he liked spending time with Ron, if people saw them together too much, they might wonder why. And if people started wondering why a Malfoy was hanging out with a Weasley, they might find out about Draco's poverty.
"Fuck!" he said out loud and punched his pillow.
