A/N: Just a little something that came to me at about one o'clock this morning. For those of you who believe in it, have a happy Valentine's day. For those of you who don't (like me), happy "half price off of chocolates the day after Valentine's day" day :)
Note: This has not been looked over and I was half-asleep when I wrote it.

'Hermione, love, wake up.'
Hermione groaned as her boyfriend gently shook her awake.
'Sleep, Ronald,' she mumbled, pressing her head harder against the pillow and pulling the covers up more.
Ron chuckled and Hermione felt his arms wrap around her to pull her closer.
'C'mon, Hermione,' he whispered in her ear. 'I just want to wish you a happy Valentine's day.'
Hermione cracked an eye open and turned her head to face Ron.
'Love,' she croaked, 'you know I don't believe in Valentine's day as being a holiday. It's really just another day to me.'
Ron opened his mouth to reply, but Hermione continued, talking over him.
'I know you don't mind getting me stuff, but really, Ron, I don't like the fact that people buy into the rubbish that's fed to them just so companies can make more money.'
Ron nuzzled her neck a bit.
'Stop talking, Hermione,' he whispered. 'Just let me do this.'
'No, Ron, I don't want you to --'
'Marry me.'
Hermione paused mid-sentence and blinked.
'Wh-...what?' she asked.
Ron rolled Hermione onto her back and loomed over her.
'Marry me,' he whispered, presenting a velvet box.
Hermione gaped at him as he managed to flip the lid of the box open and reveal the ring inside.
'Ron, I ...'
'It's not very big, but I figured you wouldn't want something flashy,' he explained.
Hermione continued to gape.
'It ... I .. Ron ...'
'What ... what do you say?' he whispered.
Hermione laughed nervously.
'Yes,' she said, grinning at him.
Ron grinned back at her.
'I know it's not exactly the most original day of the year to propose, but ... well, I'm out of creative thoughts this early in the morning,' he murmured.
Hermione kissed him, threading her fingers through his hair. Ron pulled the ring out of the box when they pulled back and he tossed the box over his shoulder, making Hermione laugh again. Ron flashed a grin at her and slipped the ring on her finger.
'Happy Valentine's day,' he whispered.
'Honestly, Ron,' Hermione huffed, a slight grin on her face.
