Valentine's day was something you weren't really fond of. You believed that everyday was a good day for couples to show that they cared for one another and be disgustingly sappy with each other on some random day, there really was no need to dedicate an entire holiday for this in your opinion. The other reason you weren't so fond of Valentine's day was because you were scared of love, as it surprising at did sound, you were indeed nervous about loving someone and someone loving you. You considered your own parents for that matter, your parents claimed to love each other and they got married and yet they argue with each other most of the times. You wondered whether or not their love was real or whether all those bedtime fairytale stories about a happily ever after was just a sham

You acted like you didn't really care too much about love but deep down you were nervous about it and scared as well. It was fascinating about how a feeling like love could change someone's mentality and rationality within a short amount of time. You were scared of loving someone who didn't love you back, because you didn't really see yourself that worthy of love. However things changed for you in quite an unexpected way when you ended up getting kidnapped by none other than Draco Malfoy himself. Never in your wildest dreams you'd have ever expected him to pull a stunt like this but, here you were...

He claimed that you were meant to be with him and how the two of you were soulmates and stuff and you had a really hard time accepting it. Well, not withstanding the fact that you literally got kidnapped him but also because you had trouble accepting someone could love you for who you were when you've come across people who wanted you to chance your personality and just kept taking advantage of you for their own gain. Having trust issues really sucked. But Malfoy was there to comfort you and you had to admit, when he hugged you for the first time, you felt like time had stopped for you. It felt nice and comforting in an odd way. You forgot the last time you've been held like this in a comforting manner by someone. You wanted to ask for more and wanted to be greedy but the rational part of your mind disagreed with you

People were often at conflict with their minds and hearts about things, you were at a conflict whether or not to accept his love for you. He was treating you well, he treated you like a gentle flower, never once even raising his voice at you much less laying his hands on you and yet, you were nervous about trusting him and having your heart broken. February 14th was a day he was really looking forward to, he wanted to do whatever he could to show and prove to you that he loved you. You woke up to him gently kissing you awake, as he smiled and said that he had a surprise for you. You groggily woke up from your bed and headed downstairs after freshening up to see him making your favorite food

He spoke "Darling, do you know what day it is?" he suddenly asked you and between sipping your morning juice, you looked at him in a confused manner for a moment, wondering what could possibly be so special about this particular day when it suddenly dawned upon you when you glanced at the calendar. Dread and fear settled in your heart as you realized that today was Valentine's day. You really didn't need to deal with this as you muttered "Yeah... Valentine's day..." When he said he had a couple of things planned for the two of you, you couldn't help but be curious about what he's planned. Even he believed that everyday was a good day to show your partner that you loved them and the two of you started your Valentine's day with him putting on one of your favorite movies and getting your favorite snacks. You had to admit, you had fun when the two of you played Exploding snap and Wizards chess, he loved to see you smile

Before you even knew it, it was already the night time and it started drizzling a bit. The whole day was spent with him and you spending time with each other as Malfoy said that he had yet, another surprise planned for you. He led you to the dining room where the most mouth watering food items were placed, decorated with roses and candles around. It was a romantic dinner as he handed you a rose and said "Would you make me the most happiest man by having dinner with me?" It was too much for you to handle. You were neve accustomed to spending time with someone who constantly kept telling you that they loved you, the feeling was overwhelming. You bolted and ran out to the backyard for a few moments to compose yourself, as you found a momentary solace in the rain

Malfoy finally led you inside as the stars were shining bright and sparkling like diamonds in the night sky, however none of them shined as bright as the sparkle in your eyes as he set you down on the bed. Why?" You simply asked him, slightly shivering from the cold as he looked confused for a moment and then it dawned upon him about what you were asking him. I don't want you falling sick out in the rain. And also because I love you..." There was a somber and comforting silence as the words were announced. To anyone else, the words might seem overused and trivial but those 3 words meant the world to you. Why?" You asked him again as he chuckled softly and replied "You're full of questions today aren't you? What do you mean by why, I love you for who you are..."

I'm not perfect" you answered as your lips quivered, hating the thought of disappointing the one person who cared about you the most. "You are, to me you are. I love every inch and every part of you" "How can you love someone who doesn't even love themselves?" you asked him in a small voice, not meeting his eyes. His gaze softened as he gently held your soft hands in his large rough calloused hands, as he replied "That's the power of love my dear. You don't know how perfect you are, that's why love exists so someone can open your eyes to see yourself the way I see you... an embodiment of perfection"

A few moments of silence passed as the sounds of pattering rain grew louder by the second as you sniffled and your eyes welled up with tears, not from sadness but from the overwhelming affection and love for the man in front of you, that you'd finally found the one, the RIGHT one to love you for who you were. You felt his palms cup your face and caress you as he spoke "I promised myself I'd never give you a reason to cry and I intend to fulfill it". You gazed into his eyes as you felt yourself getting lost in them

Permission to kiss you, my lady?" he asked you as you smiled and nodded. Whoever said a perfect fairytale kiss didn't exist were absolutely wrong in her opinion. The man in front of you surely was a beast but he treated you like a queen. You didn't feel any fireworks exploding inside her nor did you feel any butterflies erupt from your insides as you felt his soft lips press against yours. Instead you felt something warm coursing through your body and veins, providing you with unlimited strength as you felt like you had Ichor, the blood of the gods flowing through your veins

There were no words to describe the power of his kiss, the unfair and unimaginable power his lips had to render you speechless and whimpering for more as he continued to consume your gasps, aching for more. You felt an aching, longing need stir inside your heart, insinuating fiery passion inside you to such an extent that it almost scared you for you'd never felt like this with anyone else before. But you knew everything would be all right as long as you had him. You knew he'd take care of you and something told you that you were in good hands

The kiss was passionate, filled with a surprisingly gentle dominance, as he was ready to claim you and make you his but it was also sensual and overwhelming at the same time. Your lips moved in synchrony, like a coordinated dance that could only be brought to life by the power of love

The two of you finally pulled away after a few moments and he enveloped his arms around you, shielding you from the horrors of the outside world. You leaned into his embrace and felt comforted and at ease. Many people were often in constant pursuit for true happiness but you'd found your happiness simply by being in his embrace. It was like time has stopped but you didn't mind, you wished that this moment would never come to an end

Your curiosity piqued up when he'd pulled out a rose, shining with dew drops and he spoke "The softness of these rose petals match the softness and rosiness of your lips. Your eyes are as beautiful as these rose petals, or maybe even more...You're MY rose..." as he traced the red flower glistening with dew on your hands and neck as you slightly trembled

Your breath hitched for a moment and you felt like you couldn't speak, as the words were trapped in a lump at the back of your throat when you'd felt him kiss the nape of your neck and he muttered "Only I know your sensitive points my love, and you mine..." He then placed her hand on his chest, over his heart as he continued "Can you feel this? Can you feel my heart beating? It beats only for you, day in and day out...my mind, heart and soul revolve around you constantly. You've become such an integral part of me that I feel like I'd die if anything ever happened to you, but that's not something I should be worried about because I'd never let anything happen to you..." as he caressed your cheek lovingly

"I might cause fire but I'd rather watch the world burn than ever let a flame touch you..." he whispered as you finally understood the true meaning of love at that very moment. Love was indeed, the most powerful of them all...
