Summary:
but draco has never been accused of being smart.
Work Text:
draco isn't even surprised to find voldemort in his bedroom anymore. he doesn't bother sleeping there, either, and has pretty much moved out—not that he's sure if voldemort knows. but the point is, there's no surprise. he merely glances at the older man sitting elegantly on the couch, sipping some kind of liquid from a tall wineglass, and closes the door behind himself.
"you missed dinner," draco points out, dropping his luggage and sitting down beside voldemort.
voldemort glances at him, red eyes burning holes through his face. the man has started looking more like a person lately, less like a snake, and it shows especially in his eyes. it's disconcerting, still, though.
"i got caught up in research," says voldemort, and draco almost blinks in shock. he's not used to that yet, not used to voldemort... explaining things to him. apologizing, almost.
"hmm," draco crosses his arms over his chest. he looks at his own nails, squeezes his fingers into his arms flesh a little too tightly. "mother was disappointed," draco adds.
voldemort's lips twitch. "i think we both know that's a lie," the most powerful wizard alive almost sounds amused at that.
draco relaxes into the couch, muscles unbinding themselves. he lets himself go, unleashes his hands wicked desires. grabbing the glass voldemort is holding, draco holds it up to his nose, sniffs, and then judgmentally says, "really?"
"really," voldemort confirms.
draco takes a sip. it's... gross. coffee is gross, and he doesn't understand why muggles instant on consuming so much of it. much less why voldemort, a wizard of power renowned, would drink it.
voldemort huffs a laugh and when draco glances at him, the man's eyes (red, red, red) are still focused on him. he doesn't think voldemort has looked away from for a second since he entered. he thinks maybe that should bother him.
but draco has never been accused of being smart.
Notes:
