*pulls hair out* AH!!! They're all so good! You guys have already made my day, with all these oh-so yummy D/G cookies.

I need to keep track of this thread from now on...
*sigh* I never have a decent cookie to post. Gah...I'll just post an excerpt from my current fic...
Though My Heart Is From Hell--Chapter Nine My room. It was not well lit either. And as soon as I settled in, I searched around for candles, anywhere they might be found. But I found none. Draco stood by the doorway, looking at me with a raised brow.
“ Looking for something?” He drawled. I looked at him, desperation in my eyes.
“ Candles.” I said hurriedly. “ I need light.” For a moment, he said nothing. Then, he chuckled sardonically, before stepping into the room, clucking his tongue.
“ Scared of the dark, are we?” He teased. I glared at him as fiercely as I could, feeling myself blush.
“ You’ll understand that I don’t feel comfortable, feeling my way around in the pitch black dark.” I muttered coldly. I heard a rustle, and he was sitting next to me. No matter how dark it was, however, I could see his pale skin, his silvery hair and his luminous eyes.
“ We Malfoy’s are creatures who bask in darkness. We like it—we thrive in it.” He paused. “ We don’t need candles, especially in a
bedroom. The few we have are kept elsewhere.” I sat silently, numb at his answer. Feeling angry at how un-sympathetic he was, I rummaged around my robes, looking for my wand.
“ I see. Well then, I suppose I’ll have to rely on myself—“ I stopped abruptly, my hand finding nothing in my robes. Where had my wand gone? I was sure I had it—right before we had left, I had made sure. I grew frantic, throwing my robe off and shaking it violently.
But there was nothing. And in the black, I saw him smirking smugly. Before I knew what I was doing, I threw myself onto him, pinning him down on the bed in my rage.
“ What have you done with my wand, bastard?!” I demanded, fist clenching at his collar. His eyes narrowed and he pushed me off of him forcefully.
“ It was taken away. You don’t need it.” I hated him. He had told me I would find comfort here, but I did not. I felt imprisoned. I couldn’t do anything. He may have thrived in the darkness, in this kind of secluded environment, but couldn’t he see I wasn’t accustomed to it? I wasn’t like him. Was a little sympathy going to kill him? My chest heaved up and down in anger as I thought about the current situations, and I was unaware of his eyes watching my every move.
“ You’re angry.” He said knowingly.
“ I hate you.” I spat, crossing my arms and turning away from him. His hands pushed me onto the bed suddenly, and he smirked again.
“ No, you don’t.” His index finger trailed down my jawbone and caressed the edge of my lips. I looked up at him, anger suddenly gone as I noticed how close his lips were to mine.
But he did not kiss me. Instead, he got up and began to walk away--and out the door. I scrambled up and watched him go, fear clawing at my heart as I realized I was alone in the dark.
Stupid, yes, but I hated the dark.
“ Draco!” I called out to him desperately, hoping he hadn’t gone too far. There was no answer. I waited.
“ Draco…” I whimpered again, wishing he would come back.
“ For heaven’s sake…” I looked up and saw him standing once again in the doorway, eyes flashing in annoyance. Relief flooded through me, and I felt a rush of gratitude toward him. I bit my lip and stayed silent, pleading with him to stay.
“ What do you want?” He snapped, knowing too well what I wanted.
“ Stay here with me, at least until I fall asleep.” I asked quietly, almost shyly. For a moment, he stood silent, blinking. Maybe he was taken by surprise. But after the moment passed, he walked over to me and sat beside me, his sharp features looking softer—especially his eyes.
“ You want me to stay with you.” He whispered. I nodded. Wanting to feel warmer, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down onto the bed, next to me.
And even if it was Draco Malfoy that I held onto, I felt warm, secure. And I felt full of…comfort, and full of…love.
I looked at him—his beautiful face, though confident and arrogant.
He leaned over and kissed me softly, softer than he had before—it was a goodnight kiss, a kiss that left me feeling tingly and excited and even more in love with him, perhaps. The moment was more intimate than before, because we were alone in the darkness, and he was there, protecting me, as I liked to imagine it.
But I felt the same exhilarating rush that I felt every single time he kissed me. My hands clutched the nape of his neck, brushing his soft hair now and then as I pressed his warm body against mine, getting lost in his unique taste.
And I knew I was addicted to him.
