Like Real People Do

Draco Malfoy x gn!reader

Kinda Based off “Like Real People Do” by Hozier but not really

Warning: none, I think he cusses once. I don’t think I used (she/her) pronouns but I can’t remember. Pansy kinda being rude

Not that long

This is my first time writing a fic ever. If you see an error please be nice and let me know. Enjoy!

I just about had it. I was tired and worn out. I was walking into the Slytherin common room to go see my boyfriend, Draco Malfoy, for a little bit. It’s been a rough week and I didn’t want to have to deal with Pansy and her little goons calling me names and saying how Draco is just dating me because he feels sorry for me. “You don’t deserve him” or “You’re his little toy, he’ll throw you out when he finds something shiny and new. What they don’t know is that Draco and I have been together four months before we told them.

My feet are hitting every step with a thump as I drag my feet to Draco’s dorm. Since he’s a prefect he gets his own dorm so we don’t have to worry about his friends making rude comments about me while I’m in the room.

Tap tap tap

“Who is it?”

“It’s me Draco, can I come in”

The door swings open to a tired looking, yet somehow in a good mood Draco. “You don’t need to ask. How was your day darling?”

“It was good.” I lied with a fake smile plastering my face. Thankfully he didn’t notice. He started rambling about quidditch practice and how Crabbe almost fell off his broom. No wonder he looked so tired, quidditch always wears him out. I sat there pretending to be captivated by his story when I was barely half listening. My mind was crowded with other thoughts. I had officially hit that point of the year where I was just worn out. I hit my wall and I was unmotivated.

“Y/n, are you okay?”

That’s when it hit me, my walls came crashing down and before I knew what I was doing, I was a sobbing mess on Draco’s shoulder.

“I’m so sorry, I’m so tired and Pansy is being mean again. I just need a break.”

Draco wrapped his arms around me and kissed my head. It was almost everything I needed. Usually it is everything I would need, but in this moment it wasn’t enough. I needed something a bit more. I needed an escape.

“I got you a surprise. Well kinda” Draco interrupted me from my thoughts. My eyes follow him as he pulls out a vinyl of my favorite song “Like Real People Do” by Hoizer. I already own this record so why would he buy it for me again?

“Thank you Draco, I love it.”

“Now I know what you’re thinking, but this isn’t for you. It’s for me.”

“What are you getting at Malfoy?”

Draco got up and pulled the record out of its case and placed it on his player. The song’s slow beat starts to fill the room.

“What are you doing?”

“You’re sad, it’s my job as your boyfriend to make you happy when you’re sad.”

Just then Draco spins me into his arms. We sway for awhile until that sway turns to slow dancing.

Every few beats he spins me and kisses the top of my head. Throughout the song he hums to it. That small gesture was enough to show that he cared. It was a muggle song, he'd never heard it before I showed it to him. He learned the words for me. He didn’t know all of it but throughout the song he would hum little “why were you digging”, “In some sad way I already know” and “we should just kiss like real people do.” My heart was soaring. I felt so much comfort and so much love in those three minutes and nineteen seconds that I thought that moment would last a lifetime.

As the song slows down that the chorus was sung for the last time, Draco spins me once more. He gently tilts my chin up and looks me in the eyes. He then brought his lips to mine in a slow, passionate kiss.

“You are my light in this darkness. The only reason I haven’t shut everyone out and dropped out of this shitty excuse of a school is because of you. I love you y/n.”

“I love you too Draco. I love you so much” As the song replayed we swayed again. This time just holding each other close.
