Day 11
On the eleventh day of Christmas…
She hides in her closet for ages before he knocks softly on the door. "Pansy? Are you in here? What's taking you so long?"
She furiously wipes at her eyes, succeeding to make them redder than ever. "I'll be r-right out," she says, clearing her throat and sniffing loudly.
He doesn't wait for a consent – he walks right in. "No, you won't, not if you're crying!" he accuses her gently, hugging her. "What's the matter?"
"I can't go to his wedding!" she hiccups, and then covers her mouth, her face turning cranberry red. "Excuse me," she mumbles into her fingers.
He puts his arms tightly around her. "Shh. Pansy, I'm here for you. I'll always be here for you. Who cares if that prat broke your heart? I'm here to fix it. I won't go anywhere without you."
Presently, she stops crying. He smiles gently at her.
"Thank you," she whispers, and then charms herself to her usual perfection. He takes her hand, and they leave her room, looking as though nothing hard had ever befallen them.
Oh, if only people could see beyond the mask and visit the love on each of their faces, the hardships they've endured and conquered.
But as they Apparate to the church, one, if watching, could have caught the look passed between unsure lovers.
(Pansy/Blaise)
Notes: The wedding, obviously, was Draco's. This is a couple of years after they've graduated, and right now Blaise & Pansy are in a limbo between lovers and friends. Basically there's just a ton of sexual tension. =D
*cough* What? Did I forget something? Why are you glaring at me? *cough*
I'm so sorry about yesterday. I swear to God, it won't happen again! Forgive me!!!
