"Please Gaby, open the door, we need to talk". The sound was muffled by the door, but I distinctly hear her snort harshly; Merlin, this woman was as stubborn as me, how was I supposed to have a conversation with her? Hermione/Gabrielle.

Summary: "Please Gaby, open the door, we need to talk". The sound was muffled by the door, but I distinctly hear her snort harshly; Merlin, this woman was as stubborn as me, how was I supposed to have a conversation with her? Hermione/Gabrielle.

I sighted and rested my head against the lukewarm wood of her front door. I took a deep breath and knocked again before I said "Gaby, please, open the door"

"And why would I do that, Hermione?" She asked me, her voice quivering as she sounded half angry, half melancholic to me.

My heart tightened in my chest and my lungs burnt from my breathing, I swallowed with difficulty the lump that had settled in my throat, and spoke again, not completely trusting my voice

"Please Gaby, open the door, we need to talk"

The sound was muffled by the door, but I distinctly hear her snort harshly; Merlin, this woman was as stubborn as me, how was I supposed to have a conversation with her? She spoke again, and I couldn't ignore the venom dripping from her voice

"Well, darling, maybe I'm not the one you are supposed to talk to, am I not?"

Merlin, what a bit- jenny! If only she knew why I came to see her, she would have opened already! I sighted and took a deep breath, calming myself a bit. This woman was driving me completely crazy, nonetheless, it was maybe -certainly- the reason why I was standing in front of her door tonight.

I was about to say something, when she spoke again "Hermione, you're still here?"

"Yes, baby-" when did my voice get so hoarse? "- I'm still here". I took a long inhaling and went on : "Please mon ange, open the door, it's really important"

She was silent for a moment, then I heard her sight and fumble with her keys before the gate finally unlocked. Her eyes were red, and a bit puffy, she had on the tracksuit that she liked to wear after work, to relax, and her hair were pulled back in a messy ponytail. She looked miserable, and as I took in her appearance, I couldn't help but think that I was the one responsible for the state she was in at that moment.

I came inside, and took her in my arms, hoping ton erase her pain as much as I could. As she nestled her neck in the crook on my neck, nuzzling the cold tip of her nose agains my warm skin, I realized how I missed being with her, and the only thing I could think of, was that I never wanted to let her go, never again.

I tenderly cupped her cheeks, brushing lightly the tip of my fingers against her soft skin. I gave her a warm smile and pecked her on the left corner of her mouth before I whispered

"I told him, Gaby. I told him that I loved you, that I couldn't live without you, I told him everything"

The smile that appeared on her face made her blue eyes sparkle, she looked so beautiful. She breathed a small "I love you", and kissed me sweetly;
