Well

Isn't that

l-o-v-e-l-y?

Years upon

y_e_a_r_s

of being touched by the

l·i·g·h·t

couldn't make you crave the

any more

After one bad episode in your life,

everything else has been

"peachy keen"

so -screw- this

This life has become a

SHAM

&& yet

*wham*

In walks the [match] to

set your

house of

on

~F~I~R~E~

because there he is

(don't mind that he's a Malfoy—your son doesn't mind),

readytoo ready to listen to your stories

&& hear your thoughts

&& a.g.r.e.e. with your opinions

(because when was the last time any w_i_t_c_h wanted to hear her husband's voice?)

You .::see::. it

the *g_l_e_a_m* in his eyes

He's…

e_n_a_m_o_r_e_d

(enamored, because it's worth repeating)

and there's a XtickleX in the

back of your t-h-r-o-a-t

There's something so wrong in all of this

Keep teasing him

Enjoy a gentle touch

You're

G_E_O_R_G_E

above all else

&& that won't change

(even if you are feeling a little more like a

g_r_e_m_l_i_n

these days…)

But truly—take it

almost .::too far::.

This will never happen…

It's not that it

"was never meant to be"

*tsk*

It's that

Huh. A little protective, perhaps? That completely came out of nowhere. I was just writing this sequel on a whim, planning on doing one more…now I'm wondering where the 3rd one's going to head… Hmm… But this is a nice, different take on my adorable Georgey. Him, dark?! What's going to happen next…? Btw, there's a sequel to this: "No Explanation Needed"

Thanks for reading, and please review!
