I don't know where this came from really. It's from Ginny's POV but it can be read from Astoria's POV as well. Enjoy!

And Her Heart Played On

He is thrusting into her at such a pace that she cannot keep up with his hips meeting hers. She can feel tears pricking her eyes but she refuses to let them fall. Instead, she bites her lip and screws them up in a hidden agony. Nothing but the slap of skin on skin echoes around the room - they are both too weary and tired of themselves to make a sound. She feels him shudder. He collapses soundlessly next to her and still no sound is made. His shoulders tense and she knows in the pit of her stomach what he is going to utter.

"I need to be with him," he whispers into the silence. "He's everything."

The mutter disappears into the air, the previous smack of skin meeting with it. She nods and understand. After all she knows what it feels like to depend on someone so heavily and she can tell it is real. The taste of their intimate touches is bitter on the tip of her tongue and she can only sigh a heavy sigh.

"Take care of yourselves," is all she can muster the energy to say as she watches her everything pull on his dishevelled clothes and go to his everything.

It is okay, she tells herself. I know.
