The Kind of Beautiful That Hurts

After years of battling insecurity and constantly comparing yourself to your beautiful best friend, your confidence shatters when you discover that the person you're secretly in love with, Draco Malfoy, has started paying attention to her. Believing he's protecting you by pushing you away, Draco begins dating your best friend—only to realize too late that the feelings he was trying to bury were always meant for you. Now, as he fights to undo the biggest mistake of his life, you're left wondering whether a heart broken by love and comparison can ever truly heal.

Draco sends a picture of his potions essay to the group. just a quick snap. what he’s slow to realise is that there’s a picture of him and y/n clear as day in the back ground.

He Sees What I Can't // Dean Di Laurentis

Steady Y/n has spent years hating the body she's supposed to love. Her curves. Her wide hips. Her hip dips. Her stomach. Every mirror becomes another reason to compare herself to girls she thinks are prettier, smaller, and more deserving of Dean Di Laurentis. And when the anxiety gets too loud, Y/n goes quiet. She pulls away. Hides beneath oversized clothes. Pretends she's fine when she's falling apart inside. Dean notices every time. He notices the way she tugs at her shirt when she's uncomfortable. The way she avoids mirrors. The way her confidence disappears when she thinks everyone else in the room looks better than her. And Y/n is terrified that one day Dean will finally see what she sees. Too much. Not enough. Not beautiful enough to keep. But Dean doesn't see her insecurities as reasons to leave. He sees her. When her thoughts spiral, he's there. When she shuts down, he gives her time. When she can't believe she's beautiful, he reminds her until his words start to sink in. And that's where the meaning of “Steady” comes in. The song becomes the feeling of having someone who doesn't ask you to stop being scared—someone who simply stays beside you while you are. Someone who becomes your calm when your mind is anything but calm. Dean can't erase every insecurity Y/n has. He can't make her love her reflection overnight. But he can be the person who reminds her that she is still worthy on the days she doesn't feel beautiful. Because when Y/n's world feels unsteady, Dean is the one thing that stays. And maybe love isn't about finding someone who fixes you. Maybe it's finding someone who holds you through the moments when you can't hold yourself together. Dean is her steady.

More Than a Hookup

They agreed on the rules. No feelings. No jealousy. No expectations. No falling in love. Dean Di Laurentis and Y/n were supposed to be simple. A few stolen nights. Flirting. No labels. No promises. Nothing complicated. Except somewhere along the way, simple stopped being enough. Dean started caring about the little things—the way Y/n smiled when she was genuinely happy, the way she looked for him in a crowded room, the way being around her started feeling less like a casual arrangement and more like something he couldn't imagine losing. And Y/n fell just as hard. But neither of them said it. So when Y/n realizes she's falling for Dean, she panics. Instead of risking rejection or breaking the rules they'd made, she forces herself to walk away. She stops answering his texts. Avoids his calls. Finds excuses not to see him. And when another guy starts showing interest, Y/n lets herself believe that maybe moving on will be easier. It isn't. What begins as attention and affection slowly turns into manipulation. When Y/n makes it clear she doesn't want what he's trying to take from her, he ignores her boundaries and sexually assaults her. The story doesn't linger on what happened. It follows Y/n afterward—the silence, the confusion, the fear, and the crushing weight of wondering how she's supposed to tell anyone. Especially Dean. Because Dean has already noticed. The girl who used to tease him now barely looks at him. She won't answer his messages. She disappears whenever he walks into a room. And Dean finally reaches his limit. He finds her alone and refuses to pretend he hasn't noticed something is wrong. “Why are you avoiding me?” Y/n insists she's fine. Dean doesn't believe her. “Y/n, look at me. Something happened. Please tell me what it is.” She tries to shut him out, but Dean stays—angry at the situation, terrified for her, but never angry at her. And when Y/n finally tells him what happened, Dean is left shattered. Not because he thinks he can fix her.

He Said He Could Handle Me 😏💋😉

Dean Di Laurentis thinks he's impossible to fluster. You think otherwise. When you start doing TikTok couple trends where you randomly kiss him just to see if he'll fold, Dean turns it into a competition. Every kiss becomes a challenge, every reaction becomes evidence, and every video makes him more determined to get you back. The only problem? You might be better at making the cocky hockey player lose his composure than he is at admitting it.

Come Here 🥹💕

Y/n has had the worst day imaginable. Nothing went right. Every little thing piled on top of the next until she felt like she couldn't breathe without something else going wrong. By the time she finally makes it to Dean, she's exhausted, overwhelmed, and desperately trying to hold herself together. But when Dean asks the question she’s been avoiding all day— “You okay?” She gives him the answer she always does. “I’m fine.” Except Dean Di Laurentis knows her better than that. He notices the way she avoids his eyes. The forced smile. The way her voice sounds a little too quiet. He sees the exhaustion she's trying desperately to hide, and for once, the usual teasing grin disappears from his face. He doesn't interrogate her. He doesn't tell her to cheer up. He doesn't try to fix everything. He simply steps closer, opens his arms, and says the two words she didn't realize she needed to hear. “Come here.” And that's it. The second Y/n steps into his arms, everything she's been holding back comes crashing down. The tears she's been fighting all day finally fall, and Dean holds her tighter without asking her to explain a single thing. Because Dean might be known for his confidence, his flirting, and his ability to make everything into a joke—but when it comes to Y/n, he's different. He notices the things she tries to hide. He knows when “I'm fine” actually means I'm barely holding it together. And tonight, he isn't letting her pretend. Sometimes, you don't need someone to solve your problems. Sometimes, you just need someone who sees through the lie, pulls you into their arms, and reminds you that you don't have to carry everything alone. Especially when that someone is Dean Di Laurentis.

The Girl Behind the Confidence

Everyone knows Dean Di Laurentis. The confident hockey player. The flirt. The guy who always has a smirk, a comeback, and a girl on his arm. Nothing seems to get under his skin, and Dean has always been good at making everyone believe he doesn't care about anything—or anyone—too deeply. But Y/n sees something different. She’s always been insecure about the way she looks, especially when she compares her curves, hips, and body to the girls Dean has dated. So whenever Dean flirts with her, she laughs it off. Because surely someone like Dean could never genuinely want someone like her. Except Dean notices. He notices the way her smile changes when she catches herself in a mirror. The way she makes jokes about her body before anyone else can. The way she pulls away whenever she thinks she's being compared to someone else. And eventually, Dean stops flirting long enough to show her that behind all his confidence is someone who cares far more than he lets anyone see. Because Y/n isn't just the girl Dean wants everyone to notice. She's the girl he wants to feel beautiful when she's alone with him, too.

Patience Instead of Promises

At a crowded party in the Slytherin common room, Y/N is secretly drugged and assaulted while everyone assumes she simply left early or had too much to drink. Terrified, ashamed, and convinced no one would believe her, she tells no one what happened and buries the truth for months. As time passes, Draco Malfoy notices the quiet changes in her—the way she startles at loud noises, avoids parties, and keeps everyone at arm's length. Without knowing why, he begins treating her with unwavering kindness and respect, never pushing her for answers or expecting anything in return. As trust slowly replaces fear, Y/N finds the courage to share what happened, and Draco stands firmly by her side as she seeks justice and begins to heal. Their relationship grows not because of the trauma, but because of the patience, compassion, and genuine love they build together afterward.
