——————————————————————————
Eighteen thousand-year-old soul
Midwest shooting star
In the days she waits
But she moonlights rock'n'roll
Play the rain dance with her guitar
Sometimes you only get one chance
You and Draco have known each other since you were in diapers. Your mother and his mother were best friends in their years at Hogwarts, so just imagine how excited they were when they found out they were both pregnant at the same time! They knew you two were going to be best friends, and they were right. You two were attached at the hip. 
Everyday when you two were little, you would play out in the garden for hours playing tag. You were one wild girl and he loved that about you, friend-like love of course. 
Soon those days of just running around had to stop when you two had to go to Hogwarts. Now, you had essays to do and very little free-time to run around and play games. 
Now, you were still that carefree girl. You ran around the halls not caring if you got in trouble and didn’t care what others thought about you. Draco on the other hand had to keep his head held high and his behavior on track so that 1. He could impress his father and 2. Show up Potter
As the years at Hogwarts passed by, you and Draco were still attached at the hip and many a times mistaken as a couple, to which both of you would laugh and inform the person that you two were just friends. 
5th year was when things got a little rocky in the friendship though. Umbridge had taken over the school and Draco was completely fine with it, but you, on the other hand were not. 
“Hey Draco!” you greeted him in the hallway. “Woah, Y/l/n, 8 inches, remember?” Draco moved away from you and kept walking. 
“What the heck Draco? I’m your best friend,” you said in disbelief. “Well Umbridge says to stay 8 inches apart, so we will follow her rules and stay 8 inches apart,” he said ‘8 inches apart’ like you were a dumb little child who couldn’t understand what he was saying. 
“You know what? Don’t talk to me,” you fumed and turned around to head to the Slytherin common rooms. Draco just huffed and kept walking. 
The next time Draco saw you and tried to say hi, you flipped him off and walked in the opposite direction. He expected that to be the only time, but 1 time turned into 2 times and then suddenly you two just weren’t talking anymore. 
He didn’t think much of it, being Draco Malfoy he thought he did absolutely nothing wrong, but after a while he thought, “Did I do something wrong?”. He inquired about that thought for a whole month until finally he came to the conclusion that he, in fact, did something wrong. 
“I have to fix this,” he whispered to himself as he watched you eat alone at the Slytherin table. He then saw you stand up and start to head out of the Great Hall. But when you grabbed your bag, he saw something on your hand that didn’t look good. 
Draco followed you out of the dorm and waited until you two were far enough away from people to try and talk to you. You felt like someone was following you so you looked behind you to see a tall, slender shadow. You yelped and almost fell over. 
“Calm down, Y/l/n, it’s just me,” the person chuckled. You stiffened, “What do you want Draco?” you spat his name out like venom. It’s been over a month since you two had talked, and he decided to try and fix it now? 
“Look, I just want to talk because I think I did something wrong,”, “You think?” you rolled your eyes and crossed your arms, completely forgetting about the words engraved in your hand from detention with Umbridge. 
“Ah!” you hissed and looked down at your hand. “What?” Draco asked and ran up to you. His focus was brought down to your carved hand, “Who did that?”. When he went to go grab it, you pulled it away. 
“Your favorite teacher, Umbridge, did it, you git. I got detention,” you spat. He stared at your hand with his jaw dropped, he thought that Slytherins were safe from her wrath but apparently not, “Why did you get detention?”. 
“Since we stopped talking, all I’ve been able to think about is the fact that I’m mad at you, so she saw that I wasn’t paying attention and gave me detention,” you put your hand in his face, “‘I must not get distracted’ is what she made me write”. 
He frowned, it really was all his fault. He put his hand on your back and led you back to the Slytherin common room. “Here, let me wrap it up,” he said and went to go grab some bandages. Draco came back a few moments later and began to tend to the wound. 
While you had your attention on the pain of your hand being cleaned up, you didn’t notice Draco glancing up at you every so often. He never realized how pretty you were, your features were glowing in the little light that was in the dungeons. 
You had always had the faintest crush on Draco but you knew it would never blossom into anything more, you were best friends and that was all he would ever see you as. So when you finally caught him staring at you, you were a little surprised. 
“Um, Draco?” you questioned, making him shake his head and come back to reality. “Sorry about that, I just- I,” his eyes flickered down to your lips. Your breath hitched, causing him to come back to reality again, “Sorry, I don’t know what’s going on with me today,” he stood up, “Goodnight, Y/n, I hope you can forgive me”. 
You nodded your head and gave him a friendly smile, “Yeah, I forgive you Draco”. He breathed a sigh of release and hugged you before walking up to his dorms. 
When he got into bed, he didn’t think much of his behavior and nor did you. Everything was fine, you both had your bestfriends back and it couldn’t be better.
You got a look in your eyes
I knew you in a past life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops
You two had established very different reputations at Hogwarts. Although you both were in Slytherin, he became known as a jerk and you became known as the fun “party girl”, especially in your 6th year. 
Neither of you had talked about that night or even thought about it. But one night, 6th year, he was lying in bed and the thought of that night wandered into his brain, “Why did hugging her feel different? And why did I want to kiss her?”. It was like he was in a trance when he looked into your eyes, it was familiar because he’s looked into your eyes many times, but that time, it was different. It was like a feeling of ‘it was meant to be’. 
For years Draco never thought of you as anything more than a best friend. But ever since that night, he knew that that “friendly-like” love that he had for you was slowly turning into love-love. And it just did.
Ships pass in the night
I don’t want to wait ‘til the next life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops
Last call and everybody’s watching
A party was being thrown in the Slytherin common room after a win against Gryffindor and Draco was being celebrated for catching the snitch. “Really, it’s not that difficult to beat Potter,” he boasted and took a sip of firewhiskey. 
“Congratulations Draco!” he heard from behind him. He turned around to see you in one of his old quidditch jerseys. He gave it to you in 3rd year after you had a nightmare, after he gave you his jersey though you were out like a light. 
“Thanks, Y/n,” he hugged you and let go even though he didn’t want to. You gave him a smile that made him weak in the knees before Blaise handed you a cup of firewhiskey. 
“Thanks Blaise,” you thanked him before downing the cup. “Woah, Y/l/n, slow down,” Draco chuckled and grabbed the empty cup from you. 
“I want to dance, gotta get a little loose first,” you told him and shimmied your shoulders before walking to the center of the room while swaying your hips with the music. 
You then started to dance like no one was watching and ignored all of the whistles thrown your way by boys who were only watching you for the way your hips were moving. 
But Draco wanted you, he wanted all of you. 
He looked around at all of the boys who looked like they were about to pounce on you and scoffed. He knew that you wouldn’t want to do anything with them, you weren’t that type of person, which Draco admired about you. 
He only had one chance to go out there and claim you though, because another boy was already making his way towards you.
Her voice rings out like a storm
Sometimes the past echoes in the future
Started long before we were born
Sometimes you only get one chance
You started singing along to the song that was playing and it made Draco think back to when you two would hang out before Hogwarts and you would sing your heart out to whatever song came over the radio. 
He remembered back to when he would watch you and his heart would thump at the sight of you smiling. Draco’s eyes widened when he realized that he was in love with you this whole time, he was just too dumb to notice.
Universe won’t wait for you
It’s do or die, whatcha gon-gon-gonna do?
“Woah, dude, you alright?” Blaise asked Draco. “I-I don’t know, but, I have to do something. Something that I should’ve done a long time ago,” Draco said and gave his cup to Blaise. 
“It’s now or never,” he whispered to himself before walking over to you, everyone watched him as he did. 
You got a look in your eyes
I knew you in a past life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops
You got a look in your eyes
I knew you in a past life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops
You noticed him coming your way but he had a look in his eyes like he was on a mission. Once he reached you, he stared straight into your eyes. You started up at him, not knowing the thoughts in his mind. 
“She is gorgeous, how did I not notice before?” he thought. The same eyes he’s stared into his whole life, but once again, it was different. 
He was in love.
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops
Your hair was splayed out across your shoulders, your face had no makeup on it, showing all of your natural features. 
Draco was in awe.
Ships pass in the night
I don’t want to wait ‘til the next life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops
“Draco?” you asked worriedly. Everyone was watching you two, waiting for something to happen. 
“I can’t miss my chance again, I can’t wait any longer,” and before you could comprehend what he was saying, his lips were on yours. You gasped and leaned into the kiss. 
His arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you closer to him. After a few seconds, you both pulled away and Draco pulled you into his chest. 
Everyone around you cheered, but all you could hear was Draco’s heartbeat. 
“I love you, Y/n,” he whispered into your ear. You looked up at him and looked in his eyes, “I love you too”.

WIP Updates #idfk man
So today (Thursday, after I finally go to sleep because it's past midnight) or Friday, I'll post my next Hangman request, some mild angst tentatively titled "Uncharted" (it's so on the nose I apologize). There's a lil blurb of it at the end of this post 😊
Then I'm gone all weekend, feel free to spam my inbox with potential new thirst traps of Glen Powell that I might miss, but then I'll be back Monday and hopefully Top Gun will be streaming by then so we can PARTAY but idk if there's been an announcement or it's just gonna pull a Beyonce and be dropped overnight without a word.... We'll see 🤷‍♀️
Anywho, blurb time!
He’d find himself mentally playing back dumb shit you said throughout the day that made him laugh, genuinely laugh. The memorized details of your smile was another personal favorite to put on repeat, as well as the witty back-and-forth between the two of you– when he wasn’t saying all the wrong things. And of course, he couldn’t deny he’d thought deeply about your body pressed against his in a moment of heated, desperate desire, but those thoughts were reserved for early mornings, late nights, and also during showers.
But most of all, he thought about the way you made him feel– terrified. All of this was uncharted territory, like flying blind. Was it okay to think about you like this? Shouldn’t he be focusing on the job? What if he fucks up because he’s too busy daydreaming about you? Should he say something? And worst of all, what if you feel the same way? What then? 
After graduation, you’d most likely go back to your previous assignments on completely opposite coasts. How would that even work? Were you supposed to send letters to each other like it’s fucking World War Two? Would you even get married? Was that allowed? Again, uncharted territory, questions he’d never bothered to think about before but now there were a million of them making him sweat. He was getting ahead of himself, but he couldn’t just walk into this blind. He had to have some kind of plan, some kind of concrete idea of what was going to happen next. 
First things first, he had to make sure you didn’t absolutely despise him. He had to apologize. But that was easier said than done. Or, in his case, easier done than said.
✌️ See you soon - T

I’m always curious about people’s thoughts like even the ones I disagree with like I have a need to know things like when I watch something I’m always looking up the actors in show or the fanbase or whatever. and also yeah! not even just my fandoms like I lowkey know about peoples dramas whose names I don’t even know it’s kind of funny
twitter is actually a disease and I actually refused to get it for the longest time lmao the whole “wokeness” thing was a curse and the idea of “educating not cancelling” is never just that and like they seem to punish growth??? after saying that’s what they’d like?? and people just create echo chambers for themselves and the problem is in online spaces everywhere really like I’ve been on tumblr for so long and some current aspects of twt used to be very similar here especially the idea of being woke and to some extent they still are and I could probably ramble about this for ages
bro being a youtube fan was the best it was so chill, consuming content was so much more of a vibe. omg the very first time I like actually looked up dream on twt he’d posted a twitlonger and I just went nope, didn’t even read it and stayed away from the fandom and all their socials for a while, I remember when my tl was just the ccs and people I followed before mcyttwt, a better time. I was so hesitant to interact with the fandom lmao, mcyttwt used to be so much better when I first joined lmao then it slowly became a bigger dumpster fire 😔✌️
sorry for the long ask 😅😅
honestly lowkey same idk y but i like at least somewhat being aware of it. not w my more casual interests but if i’m at least a bit invested i tend to at least briefly look at the internet’s consensus LMAO. but also w totally random things like sometimes i don’t get a reference and deep dive to understand it for literally no reason
yeahh twitter is pretty bad w stuff like this💀💀 education not cancelling is such a funny phrase cuz okay now u educated them and explained things to them... y r u driving them off twitter LOLL. and ur right about it punishing growth lol like how are we supposed to ever encourage or support ppl bettering themselves while at the same time hung up about them saying some dumb shit like five years ago. vouch on the phase both platforms had/are having, it’s exactly y i initially never fully got into tumblr, it was all so weird to see from the outside LMAO. the exodus tm probably had effects tbh and twitters design and culture and a bunch of other factors let it multiply like crazy
LMAOOO that sounds amazing i love how u saw the slightest inkling of drama and noped out. was there a specific thing that made u end up getting more involved w the fandom or was it just gradually more interactions over time?
