Draco Malfoy imagines

Astraphobia

Astraphobia is the extreme fear of thunder and lightning.

And it sucks.

I hate it. It's so stupid. It makes me look like a child, a cry baby and a scaredy-cat and that's not fun when you're boyfriend is Draco Malfoy.

Of course, Draco is the only one that knows about my pathetic lightning fear because it would be absolutely humiliating if everybody did. He doesn't make fun of me for it, he doesn't think it's in my head, he understands that I genuinely can't help it and I'm grateful for that.

I was sitting in my dorm at about half past midnight, trying to get to sleep when there was an eruption of thunder and a white flash striking across my window, causing me to  jump out of my skin and my heart to drop.

I sat up out of bed and walked over to the window, quickly shutting the curtains as I noticed my breathing becoming rapid and I felt hot, like I was sweating yet I wasn't at all.

Nope

Not again

Breathe y/n

I covered my ears with my hands and squeezed my eyes shut in a panicked manner as I slipped on my slippers and speed walked to Draco's dorm.

You're going to be fine

Just ignore it

Another loud roar

I banged on Draco's dorm door and whispered his name as my voice cracked. I tapped my foot impatiently as a tear slipped down my cheek.

"Draco please!" I cried, my voice higher this time as I breathed in and out unevenly.

Draco's door swung open and before I got the chance to say anything I was wrapped in his arms as he brought me over to the bottom of his bed and sat me directly in front of him.

"You're ok, you're safe. Look at me" he said calmly. My hands were squeezing his arms as I looked around frantically trying to calm down.

"Look at me! C'mon you're ok. Follow my breathing, yeah?" He whispered as he grabbed my face in his hands, rubbing his thumbs across my cheeks.

I nodded and looked into his silver, grey eyes and followed as he took deep breaths in and out.

Another bang

I cried as I squeezed my eyes shut and Draco quickly grabbed his wand from his bedside table and mumbled a silencing spell. "C'mon angel, look at me and follow my breathing. You're okay, it's gone" he whispered softly as he wiped my tears with his thumb.

"Ok" I said quietly. We took deep breaths in and out, counting between each breath as a distraction and my breathing was finally normal and I had stopped crying.

I buried my head in Draco's chest and he held me tight. He kissed my forehead and pulled me into the bed with him, under the covers.

I kissed his lips and mumbled a small thank you and we didn't talk about it after that. He knows I get embarrassed by it. I lay next to him with my eyes closed as he stroked my cheek with his thumb and before I knew it I was fast asleep in his arms.
