Authors note: A response to the Confessions Challenge. Mostly dialogue.


"Draco?"

"Yeah, darling?"

"We need to talk."

"What do we need to talk about," he asked her as he carefully watched her face for a warning of what was to come.

"What we have…it's not going anywhere."

"I think that we have come plenty far already."

"That is not what I mean."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I mean that I am done with being terrified."

"Of what? Tell me and I'll take care of it!"

"I'm terrified of people finding out that we're dating. Draco, I want more than what you can give me."

"What do you want?"

"You know what I want."

"I do know but I want it to come from your own mouth."

"We need to break up."

"No, we don't. I'll protect you."

"Against everyone? You can't be everywhere!"

"Is there anything that I can do to keep us together?"

"If it makes you feel better, you still hold my heart."

"Luna, please tell me!"

"There is nothing that you can do."

"It's a shame that you can so easily leave what we have. Tell me, will you look back on what you're leaving behind?"

"No. I yearn for freedom. If the price of freedom is my heart then so be it."

"I made a fool of myself for you. Be sure that I won't be a fool twice."

"I may ask for you to return my heart."

"I know. Will you return mine?"


Author's note: Shortest drabble that I may have ever written. Reviews are cool and make my day. The flames keep me warm at night, but I like to keep cold and so I would appreciate if no flames were sent my way. : )
