Certain, Subtle things.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
There are certain -subtle- things that take me right back to the good old times. The better times.
One of those things is riding a bike in the morning. The cold wind hitting my bare face and the sun trying it's best to warm up my cheeks.
It reminds me of when my dad used to take me to school on summer mornings on his motorcycle. Cold hands because the weather wasn't cold enough to wear globes, but a light sweater nevertheless because my small body couldn't stand the wind. There were no trees on the sides of the road so the sun stood a chance at warming us and I was happily concentrated on feeling the warmth, eyes closed facing the natural source of heat.
I used to be so appreciative of this little things, they made me happy for the 20 minutes of the ride.
Now my mind is always running, always worried, never calm even when there's nothing to worry about. I've lost the privilege (or the ability) of being careless, inocent and free with no care in the world. Is it a part of growing up or is it the consequence of living in a modern world? Maybe both, maybe none. Maybe it's just me and my troubled mind.
But it is moments like this -certain, subtle- that take me back to when my only preocupation was to feel the sun in my face and through my swater.
It is moments like this -certain, subtle- that remind me to stop and appreciate the suns warm kiss on my cheeks.

Draco reacts to you wearing glasses (headcannon)
This gif omg.
You don’t usually wear glasses as much.
Well…at least not in front of Draco
You tend to be wary about your appearance when he’s around due to his background.
You made it a priority to ensure that he never sees you with them on
As a child, you were often teased for the way your frames made you look.
You were the only one who wore them around, and no one failed to make you feel left out
You were no stranger to mean comments
“Hey four eyes!”
“Can you even read?”
Wearing glasses left a dent in your childhood, moreover your self-esteem became something you struggled with
Puberty suddenly hits you like a truck
Contacts have been your life saver
beautiful, dark brown, eyes! ! ! !
The same people who bullied you compliment your chocolatey browns
You scoff internally
Fortunately, you only had to wear your contacts through your time at Hogwarts
Draco fell head over heels for your eyes (he got too tired of blue)
You were quiet but your brown orbs had a lot to say
You were a mystery to him
Your bad experiences with bullies make you feel hesitant about him
Would make an effort to prove himself by treating you nicely; his brash demeanor softened around you
You warm up to him
Feelings become mutual
He takes you on a date
The rest is history
That’s why when he sees you with your frames on, hes stunned.
The light shining through the window illuminates you as you study
You look ethereal
A sight for sore eyes
Glasses lowered on the bridge of your nose
Bangs curtain your face
Low ponytail
Loose strands
Plump lips
He falls in love again.
“I didn’t know you wore glasses”
You frantically remove them and shove them in your pocket, making you blind for a moment
His figure is blurry yet you’re aware of him approaching
“What’s the matter? You need them to see, love.”
When he sits next to you, he reaches into your pocket, and wipes the lenses with his robes before tucking the arms of the frames behind your ears
“You’re beautiful Y/N”
Takes out his own books and begins to study
You press the bridge up your nose with a small smile and peck his cheek.
“I love you.”
Hehe first headcannon. I hope I did it right LOL.

I have decided that I am incompatible with this reality. Meet me in a parallel universe.
