They had a cycle.
They would be hopelessly, insanely, ridiculously in love for seven days exactly before one of them, usually both, began to get antsy.
Then the bickering would start.
Little things, at first, over changing the tissue box in the living room, about cooking, about managing time and where Ginny's most recently purchased pair of heels had gone.
Then it would get angry and bitter, bringing up the past and throwing words like thunderbolts at each other. Draco's mother, Ginny's brother, both of their friends, even old school rivalries. Their worst traits came into play; obsessive, controlling, angry, unwilling to let go.
And then the tension would snap and come to a head and one of them would swear they had had enough and storm out. The other would chase them, out into the street, telling them that it wasn't over, don't they dare walk away from them.
They'd scream at each other, hurl obscenities and rage, because they were both so broken and damaged and they knew that. They knew that about themselves and each other. And they both knew it couldn't go on any longer. But then there were the promises, the ones they always broke, but always made again and swore they'd keep this time.
And the kisses that said they were sorry and the makeup sex and the morning after where they'd swear that they were done.
And then rolled over to see the other sleeping beside them.
And realize that they couldn't leave because they are too damaged, too broken, too scared to let go and too scared to move on, to ever, ever leave.
They're stuck in this rut. Maybe forever.
And the cycle continues.
Forever and ever and ever...
I'd really like some feedback on this. It doesn't have to be a long review, just something to let me know if I should make more like it or change it. Thank you.
