it started out with longing glances.
but isn't that how all romances begin?
except this i-s-n-'t one.
r

t?
i mean, they're cousins.
(the world is her least favorite
& always leaves her feeling d.i.r.t.y.)
except he's soso hot
and of course she's soso perfect.
that means they're meant to be.
it's in the s*t*a*r*s.
even though it's not.
(because she's a weasley & he's a potter
and the last time anyone checked,
his mum and her dad are s.i.b.l.i.n.g.s.)
they're bound by blood.
(and not in the way he'd like.)
so it ends with longing glances, too.
except in a way, this is a n-o-r-m-a-l romance,
meaning that it can't end like that.

of course, longing glances turn into lingering touches.
& lingering touches turn into burning kisses.
before the could STOP,
they were in waaaaay too d:e:e:p.
she loves the way he was passionate about everything
& he loves how she'd only cry in front of him.
(and when you're in love with your cousin,
crying is a common thing.)
they get caught by victoire
("perfect, perfect victoire.")
(s)(h)(o)©(k)(i)(n)(g)(l)(y),
she doesn't tell a s.o.u.l.
except teddy, who tells roxanne, who tells everyone.
& there goes bliss in empty classrooms
& snagging after hours in broom closets.
burning kisses (which had turned into l\o\v\e)
turn into "oh shit, the family knows"
& disappointment.
so much disappoint.
the family is T^O^R^N.
(her mamam's distraught.)
(his dad is happy for them.)
(her dad acts like he doesn't care.)
(his mum puts on a brave smile.)
(the cousins and aunts and uncles are d-i-v-i-d-e-d, too.)
but who cares?
no one's stopping them, it seems.
however, she can't t-a-k-e it.
(she's always been popular, but not in a bad light.)
(he's always been popular, and he doesn't care if nobody loves him like they did.)
james sirius potter loves dominique fabienne weasley,
& isn't that all they ever wanted?
everyone comes
a…r…o…u…n…d…
they're FxAoMxIoLxYo, after all.
longing glances turned into (l)(o)(v)(e),
& they don't need anyone's approval to plan a wedding.
but they do, and everyone's excited, to be honest.
lucy helps with the dress
& fred ii helps with the bachelor party.
vic is the maid of HONOR
& albus severus the b*e*s*t man.
longing glances.
lingering touches.
burning kisses.
so much disappointment.
but could it?
happiness and bliss and a stronger bond.
they're cousins, and yes, the word is tainted,
and yes, it does make her feel dirty.
