"It Will Come Back" - Hozier
The ride back to the train is quiet. Your mind tries to process the evening. It is frustrating to say the least. Drake had admitted that he wants you time and time again, but it falls flat every moment you find yourselves alone. You understand where he is coming from, and you can even admire his strength and dedication. It still doesn’t stop you from being put off every time Drake pushes you away. You just want to get back to your room and sleep it all off.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlimKIFS4b
When the cab stops, Drake pays the taxi driver and you both exit the car to head towards the train. The door over on the far end doesn’t seem to have anyone near it. By some miraculous turn of fate, you both are able to slip in unnoticed.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SFYD3WQpU
“I guess I’ll see you in the morning.” You shrug as you turn to head down your side of the train. You don’t stop to hear Drake’s reply, but you hear him following behind you.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5CLRzOLLt
“Let me at least make sure you get to your room okay.”960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAWMJeb0pU
You don’t reply. You both pass Drake’s room, but only seconds later you see a familiar figure down the hall. It’s Bastien, and he seems to be patrolling the train. You quickly flatten yourself against the wall in the shadows, hoping he hasn’t seen or heard you. It’s strange that he is there. The night has already been upsetting enough without adding him to the equation. You glance over where Drake stands beside you. Given everything you have discovered you know Drake is hurting.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx4ZB2WDr4
“Shit…” He breathes as you both watch Bastien turn in your direction. Drake grabs your forearm before edging to his room. It seems like Bastien hasn’t noticed the pair of you or is maybe choosing not to. Drake opens his door and you both duck inside before Drake quickly locks the door and sighs. “Once he passes we can get you back to your room.”960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZCGAQk0t1
The room is dimly lit but you can see well enough to notice it isn’t as messy as you would imagine it to be. The bed is still immaculately made which makes you think that Drake hasn’t even attempted to sleep this evening.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FkAUDRkOE
“Okay.” You reply as you cross your arms and shiver slightly. You are still soaked and can’t seem to get warm.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ARB9HF1Je
“You okay?”960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLOVXKegrb
“Peachy…” You mumble as your eyes stay focused on the floor. “Hopefully he finishes this round fast so I can get back to my room.”960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio2srtSQcf
You can hear Drake sigh and start rummaging through a dresser drawer nearby. “You should at least get out of those wet clothes and warm up while you wait. Getting sick on top of everything else…” He trails off as he stops in front of you holding out a t-shirt and sweatpants.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuXRfwgEp2
“I’m fine.” You grumble. You are well aware that you would feel a lot warmer if you changed, but your stubbornness just won’t let you think rationally.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKJGROsyLH
“Just take the damn clothes, Romanov.” He utters before nodding in the direction of his bathroom. You can feel your teeth starting to chatter and as much as you want to be defiant, the desire to warm up starts to outweigh that urge.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI0afuMPi2
You don’t speak as you take the clothes from his hands and enter the bathroom. You glance into the mirror and see that the concealer you had meticulously applied earlier has washed away exposing the dark circles under your eyes. You suppose if Drake had nerve enough to ask about them you could always claim it is just eyeliner or mascara smudged from the downpour. Sleep has been evading you since the coronation and it shows.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaTFXszbQi
You peel your drenched clothes off and hang them on the shower rod before quickly tossing on the clothes Drake has given you. His gray, v neck t-shirt Is so long on you that it falls just below your knees. The sweatpants are comically big on you. You tie the draw string as tight as it will go then roll the waist band a few times around your hips so you can at least see your feet and not trip yourself.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonP15r8V2Z
When you step out of the bathroom you can see Drake has already changed and is peeking out of his door to see if the coast is clear. “He’s making another pass.”960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhrI2t0a2b
“Fantastic…” You mutter as you lean against the far wall of his room.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vukQBAMQv
“Look, I’m sorry about tonight. It’s just that Liam…”960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJrOyiJHBE
You hold your hand up to stop him from continuing. “I’m tired of hearing about Liam. I’m tired of you assuming everything I do is based off me wanting Liam. I’m aggravated that you seem to think you know what I’m feeling most of the time, or what I’m not feeling.”960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfviMZfPTS
“I do not… and if I am then it would be great if you told me.” Drake is starting to look frustrated as he turns to face you with his eyes narrowed.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtLdM7PSvp
“I’ve tried to tell you but apparently, you are either too cynical to believe me or just an idiot. I’m starting to lean towards the latter conclusion.”960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKwYzzui5v
“Maybe if you stopped throwing out mixed signals this wouldn’t be a problem.” Drake whispers harshly.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ri4eM48D9
“I’m not the one giving mixed signals here! You know where I stand and whether you believe it or not what happened in New York wasn’t all in your head!” You have slowly started to move closer to Drake as anger flashes in your eyes.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWyN4NC0NV
Drake is quiet as he looks over you. It’s almost as if he is trying to scan your face for any hint of deceit on your features. “Then why did you bother coming back?”960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkvwCZjypT
“I came back to clear House Beaumont.” You are only a few feet in front of him now as you tip your head up to glare up at him. “… and I came back for you. But apparently, to you, I don’t want you. Maybe you are projecting and you’re the one that feels that way.”960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Hw7GYO80
“You know damn well how I feel!” Drake hisses960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHl1VbBHkh
“Do I? You tell me not to doubt it, but it’s hard not to with the way you are acting! A kiss proves nothing when you reject me at every turn. I’m leaving once my name and House Beaumont’s is cleared unless I’m given a damn good reason to stay…” You move your hands to your hips. You can feel warmth spread over your face in irritation.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFk99bKPVv
“You want a reason to stay?!” Drake challenges, his eyes moving over you hungrily. “Then I’ll give you a damn reason…”960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaf6psezpq
“Yeah… sure you will.” You roll your eyes and go to turn away from Drake. In one smooth motion his hands grip your hips as he spins you around slamming you into the wall. His lips crash into yours, his kiss desperate. His teeth roughly tug at your bottom lip.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt2YqKWJM8
“You shouldn’t have said that.” He breathes against your lips, his voice husky as one of his hands trails from your hip and down your outer thigh. He pulls away just enough to look into your eyes, his gaze scorching. “You really shouldn’t have said that.”
