Draco sighed to himself as he entered his room to still find you in the same position that you've been in for months.

in the war people lost many people, family & friends, you being one of them, you'd lost your brother who was also your bestfriend, he died saving your life. his death devastated your entire family but hit you the most, your parents asked Narcissa if it was ok if you stayed with Draco knowing you'd be safer with him because he wouldn't give up on you or let you spiral out of control with grief.

and he didn't. every day he stuck by your side, making sure you ate, showered and everything else but he was also scared, scared that you secretly blamed him which of course you didn't but as you had barely said a word these past few months he couldn't help but worry that deep down you were starting to hate him for it. scared that he might lose you.

you knew he blamed himself but you couldn't bring yourself to tell him that you still loved him more than anything because you just simply didn't have the energy to.

he walked over to the side of the bed where you were laying and knelt next to you

"how are you feeling?" he asked you stroking some hair out of your face

"okay" you whisper and sent him a tiny smile

"want some food?" he asked softly

you sit up at his words and shrug

"i'll go get you something" he says knowing that you probably did want food and he leaves to go downstairs where he was greeted with his mother

"how is she?" Narcissa asked making some food

Draco sighed "still the same"

his mother sent him a sympathetic smile "she'll pull through, the worst is over now she can only get better from here"

"i know i just hate seeing her in pain"

Narcissa passed her son some food for you "just remind her you're not going anywhere"

he nodded "thank you"

once he came back into his room, you were sat up looking through a box of stuff, Draco set the food on the table and sat next to you

"what's this?" he asked

"they sent his stuff over, i just haven't looked through it all yet" you say your voice slightly croaky

Draco smiled a little, this was the most you had moved and said for months

he watched you take out a picture of your family and he put an arm around you

you soften into his touch and lean into him as you both looked at the picture and few tears threatening to fall out yours eyes.

"i don't blame you, i hope you know that" you say in a slight whisper

hearing those words come from you came as a relief to Draco. his mind could now be at ease now that he knew you were still happy to be with him. even after everything.

"i do now" he replies kissing the top of your head "he would want you to be happy"

you sigh knowing he was right. if your brother knew that you had wasted months grieving over him he would have killed you himself.

"i know" you reply

"do you want to eat now?" he asked you softly

you nod and put the picture back, taking the bowl of food off him and slowly eat it

like Narcissa said it was the beginning of the end, after that day you slowly started to come back to the world, start living again, Draco by your side every step of the way.

you were so grateful that you had him, because merlin knows what would have happened if you didn't.

your love for him grew even stronger which you didn't think was possible whereas Draco was just happy to have you slowly come back to him.

after a few more months you were pretty much back on track, you had gained a little anxiety which didn't seem to be leaving any time soon but other than that you were doing well.

you and Draco were currently cuddled up in bed after a long day of re decorating his room.

"how are you feeling?" he asked you quietly

"better" you say with a small sigh of happiness

"i'm proud of you" he says gently

you shift so you can look at him and smile "i couldn't have done it without you though"

"it was the least i could do"

"it wasn't your fault Dray" you tell him

"i know but i've still put you through hell and back" he replied with guilt in his voice

"yeah and half of it wasn't your choice, life is too short to be feeling like this, i love you and that is never going to change no matter what you do" you say confidentially

he sends you a small smile and plants a kiss of your lips
"as long as i'm with you in this short life then i don't care what happens"

you snuggle into his chest and smile "me either"

and for the first time in months you didn't feel as lost. losing someone you love was always going to hurt but there's no escaping it. you just have to get on, the people you love will be there to guide you out of it. like Draco did.

he gave you time, he waited and for that you couldn't be more grateful.
