summary: Y/n gets a panic attack over draco's unexpected mean behaviour the other night thinking he genuinely has feelings for Darcy. Draco shows y/n what he really means and Darcy gets the ego check she so very needs. All this whilst draco gets left in an awkward situation with y/n as the story evolves.
warnings: none really, maybe a borderline steamy scene 😭
time was running short, your breath was running short, everything seemed to be running short at the time, even the constant beeping of your alarm clock waiting to be slammed.
"Y/n! Turn that off you dog!" Darcy yelled whilst clutching both her hands over her pillows at the sides of her ears in atempt to block out the pertruding beeps
Everything was a blur at the moment, every sound was a muffle, every bit of light that peeked through the moonlit window was a blur and most of all y/n was most definitely having another panic attack.
"C-cant b-breath-" Y/n let out with whatever left will power she had
"Oh shut up with your dramaticism you idiot." Darcy shouted before stomping over to slam the alarm clock herself.
'There! wasnt so hard now was it?!" Darcy sighed steamily before slugging back to bed.
"F-fuck"
"D-draco you b-bastard." Y/n said as her last breath trembled with disgust.
The weight of her chest had sunken to great depths of the sea known as her heart. She felt as though the whole world was crushing in on her, and there was no escape.
Before she knew it, her body had finally given up on her and she layed still on her bed, as sweaty palms increased along with her heartrate.
-----------------------
"Y/n? Yyyyyy-n!"
"Oh merlin, what do we do!"
"Darcy. Darcy! pass me the torchlight will you."
She heard the muffled sounds of people clammering around her bed, as if this was her funeral and she'd somehow managed to stay alive.
"Ah good. We're seeing some movement here people!"
"Aw man, i thought lil miss ugly would finally get put down."
Suddenly, everything was clear and the first sentence you heard had to be from Darcy herself as a warm welcome back into this cruel world.
"Y/n! What happened??"
"W-when was the last time you had any memory of conciousness?"
"Are you feeling alright?"
dozens of questions flooded in as if she was in her own 73 questions with vogue. She'd never felt this much attention before which caused her heart to pound with even greater force.
"Y/n darling, how're you feeling?" The soft voice of mrs pomfrey cooed
"A-alright." She stated breathlessly as a droplet of sweat trickled down the side of her eye.
"Hmph. Who even cares how she's feeling anyway." Darcy snarled with arms crossed
She only now realised the room in which she shared was inhabitant by dozens of adolescents crowding to see if she was fine. Some had already left seeing as her waking up wasn't as interesting as her laying unconscious, whilst some stayed just to see the reason on why she fell silent on her bed unable to move.
"W-where is she!"
"You bastard let me through!"
She heard the voice of the infamous Draco trying to pry his way through the crowd. She sighed wanting him to just dissaparate
"Y/n! Madam Pomfrey, is she alright??" Draco frantically asked whilst sitting on the edge of her bed. Sad to see how bedridden his dearest friend looked.
"Oh Draco Dear! It's not that bad. Trust me, she'll live another day." Madam pomfrey comforted whilst packing up the stuff she'd use to check y/n's well-being.
"Well! What are you all doing standing here?"
"Get back to class!" She yelled sternly before shutting the door hard
"What the hell are you doing here Draco." Y/n sighed while she eyed Darcy inch closer to the so called love of her life.
"To see if you died or something, the whole floor was making a commotion, merlin these people really are lifeless." silence so he tried again
"Gotta plan out your funeral well right? Wouldn't want Dumbledore to ruin your plan of a sequinned coffin." Draco tried to joke whilst giving her a small warm smile.
By this time, Darcy had already made her way dangerously close to Draco, just about a breath away from his neck.
The breath of Darcy writhed its way to Draco's neck startling him.
"W-what the hell?" Draco snapped whilst whipping his neck at her in the process almost breaking it.
"H-hi Draco.." Darcy breathed out with a dumb smile
"O-oh uhm. Hi cutie, you look fine today" Draco coughed out whilst slicking back his silver locks
"D-draco stawwp! You look even finer."
"Sugar bun, don't say such things. You're the finest piece of diamond this earth has ever birthed."
Darcy giggled with pure lovestruck joy
"S-so is tonight still on?"
"Yea guess so."
"I-okay i best be going. Don't miss me too much!" Darcy smothered whilst blowing him a charmed kiss, making a lipstick mark land right on his cheek.
"Merlin, she is one desperate bitch." Y/n said whilst rolling her eyes so back they could practically turn in her head.
"And what the hell was that cringe ass attitude Draco?"
"I'm just riling her up for tonight you douche." Draco said whilst awkwardly playing with the ends of her blanket silently cringing at himself.
"So...." He started
"So? You're not going to explain what the hell happened yesterday?" Y/n finally cut the tension with a sharp hot knife. The one question which had been lingering in the air for quite some time now. At least to y/n it was.
"I- About that. I can explain. Trust me."
"I don't know if you can Draco." she sighed painfully
"You were a real dick y'know that?"
"C'mon now you know i don't mean it don't you?" No response
"Look im sorry, it was all an act y/n. Believe me please."
"What! What kind of sick jok-" he cut her off
"Listen y/n! i said all that nonsense yesterday b'coz Darcy was literally standing an inch away from us! You can't expect me to side with you whilst talking shit about her and then expect her to show up for tonight right?" Draco blurted out frantically
"Yea but! but..."
"O-oh. Oh. I see.."
"Yes im glad your blind ass can finally see."
Y/n let out a small embarrassed chuckle. Her face was painted pink at this point, too much embarrassment filling that little head of hers. Draco thought it looked... cute.
He took a deep breath before coming loose.
"You look really pretty today."
Y/n's eyes widened whilst she began to feel all hot and flustered.
"W-what? with this sweaty hair-do and last nights pyjamas on? You've gotta be kidding Draco." Y/n laughed out while picking at her baby hairs
"B-but thank you."
What was this sudden nervousness she was feeling with her best friend? All of a sudden he was a foreign figure to her. A charming man.
"I think you look good" Cough "uhum all the time." a subtle throat clear draco repeated
"M'sorry bout the misunderstanding by the way." He sighed
"S'alright. I've forgiven you ages ago fool." She smiled
The moment was nice. Just her and Draco staring intently at each-other as this silence deafened the room. Yet it was the comfortable type of silence, the one where everything that needed to be said had been said. Yet there was one nagging thought at the back of Draco's mind still wanting to let loose.
"Draco!"
Ugh
"What're you still doing in here? Get to class. Prefects should never be late! Let alone 30 minutes late! 10 points off slytherin." Professor mcgonagall nagged whilst peering into the room with an annoyed expression
"y/n dearest, how're you feeling?"
The contrast between the two moods was surely an interesting one.
"M'fine professor! Draco was just helping me get some medicine earlier." She lied in hopes he would be out of trouble. Surprisingly
"Ah.. Alright then. Get some rest before starting your next period." She said before swiftly making her way down the hall and out of their sight
"Thanks?"
"Don't mention it."
"Didn't work anyway"
"It's the thought that counts ungrateful boy!"
------------------------
Time skip to the end of all periods
The day had gone seemingly smoothly apart from the ache in y/n's head every now and then pounding away at the forefront making her want to just give up and sleep her problems away. She wished she'd gotten the whole day off, but that's life. What could she do?
It was now 12AM and the long awaited mission was to finally occur. Draco standing up Darcy, setting her ego back in place once and for all.
"Okay, so Darcy'll probably be waiting there in around 10 minutes."
"Do i look fine though?"
"Does it matter Draco?"
His heart fluttered at the mention of his name
"Why yes of course it does. She needs t'see this cake first to see what she's really missing out on."
"Oh merlin. Make it stop! Make it stop!" Y/n fake yelled before they both bursted into a fit of soft laughter.
"Man you're funny y/n."
The amount of compliments she was receiving from him today was definitely uncanny.
"Thanks? You're being an awful lot nice today."
"Just thought Y'should know is all."
Draco wondered why no boy had ever sent her a letter on letter day, she truly was one hell of a character to miss out on.
10 minutes had passed by in a blink of an eye, and before she knew it, she was prancing the hallways with Draco, trying not to be seen by any teacher or prefect patrolling at this time.
The moonlit floors and glassy blue lit windows reminded y/n of the night her and Draco started to become close. The night where her heart skipped a beat as he recklessly dragged her down the hall, the night where he almost got them both caught by professor snape. The thought of it all made a soft evident smile play on her lips making her wish he was hers.
No. No she didn't.
"Ooh, that was-" pant "a long" pant "way up-" pant
"You're so un-athletic y/n." Draco said as if he hadn't just run here the same as she did a few seconds ago
"Not my fault i'm not a psycho freak who's obsessed with quidditch." She rolled her eyes
"Yea yea whatever, you enjoy watching me play though" Draco said cheekily whilst a smirk formed on his lips
He got closer
"With your pretty eyes looking up at me fly as i pass by your stand. That sight alone makes me wanna play ten times harder." He uttered just above a whisper.
The words sent chills down her spine.
"I-oh Uh"
Before she could embarrass her flustered self any further she heard the familiar ring of an annoying voice she knew all too well approach.
"Draco..?"
"Oh shit she's here you better shut up" He said before peeking out the corner of the tiny space the two had been cramped in.
It was a dark corner covered by some dusty old boxes which looked like they'd held some variety of old textbooks in the past. Cob webs everywhere, in her hair, in draco's hair. She swears she feels a few creepy crawly's make their way up her arm but smartly decides to ignore it. If it wasn't for the dirt and dust, this place would actually be a nice spot for well... a make out session probably.
Darcy was impatiently looking at her watch the entirety of the time. Sighing and moaning about as if this was a major waste of her time. Which it was definitely but who cared anyway.
What made this even better, was the fact that Draco was recording the whole thing on a muggle cellphone he'd stolen awhile ago.
"The bitch is finally gonna get it." Draco muttered under his breath as he filmed Darcy standing awkwardly near a huge dusty mirror.
Shit. there was a mirror right beside her ready to reveal draco's moonlit silver locks peeking out at any time.
Instinctively y/n pulls draco in as swiftly as one could whilst covering his mouth in the process as she saw Darcy turn to the reflection to possibly touch up her darned face.
"What the fuck?" Draco half muttered with wide eyes.
The muggle device had flung away somewhere in the process.
"Shhhh" y/n put a finger to his lips as she looked up to see Darcy still facing the mirror.
This sent electric waves pounding trough Dracos heart. Wishing it could never end.
"Darcy's looking through the mirror." Y/n finally explained whilst removing her finger from his lips.
"Oh."
"Oh okay, no worries. I got enough footage anyway." Draco said surprisingly as he returned back into y/n's lap he was tossed into.
"Hey what are you doing blonde boy." Y/n wondered with a red face which was luckily covered by the darkness the room engulfed.
"Enjoying the view." He said whilst looking up into her eyes that were illuminated by the subtle moonlight shining into the astronomy tower.
"U-uh ha-haha" Y/n nervously laughed whilst wondering if the draco was actually subtly flirting with her. She couldn't tell if he was fiddling with the strums in her heart, or actually meaning it lovingly.
At this point the whole mission had become a side quest. What was more important right now was the main meal, the tension that had somehow arisen between y/n and draco. Draco's never thought of her this way before, so why now of all times did he have to feel this attraction towards her.
