So this is a challenge fic. Challenge and prompts will be posted at the end. I think this will have two chapters.

A/N: There's a flashback scene in the middle of this chapter. I hope I've marked it well enough that you don't get confused.

Revelations

Hermione twisted and turned in her bed unable to sleep. Ron was coming back tomorrow. The redhead had been away for almost 6 months on a mission for the ministry. He had been unable to write and Hermione had missed him something awful. She decided she wasn't going to be able to get to sleep for a bit and got up to make herself some tea.

She moved through the quiet apartment to the kitchen. She always left a light on in the kitchen now. She still didn't like waking up and not being able to see. A year after the war they all still had their little things. Ginny hated it when Harry travelled; she turned into a nervous, fidgeting mess after the second week. Harry didn't drive in the muggle world and no one knew why except Hermione; the flashing green lights made him a bit twitchy. After jumping out of the way of an advance green arrow and almost running into a brick wall Harry had decided that it would be safer for him, and everyone else, if he stayed off the roads. Ron, at least before he had left, refused to Side-Apperate. There had been absolutely no way anyone would have been able to convince him. The one time Hermione had grabbed him he had been immediately sick and had automatically hexed her. He then proceeded to ignore her for three days. Hermione smiled at the memory and hoped he had been able to get over that while away.

She couldn't figure out how she was feeling in regards to seeing him tomorrow. Nervous, excited, and anxious were some of the options. Actually, she was feeling all of those and some others. She nursed her tea and thought back to the last time she had seen Ron. It was the night before he left at The Burrow. Hermione had joined Harry and all the Weasleys at a Goodbye Ron dinner. Everybody had had a little bit too much to drink and the garden was full of tipsy redheads. Ron had tapped his glass and given a very amusing speech.

"Hey, so thanks for all of you coming to say goodbye to me. Especially you Charlie, I dunno how you got here from Romania but it's awesome that you did. You know I can't say much, or write, or how long I'll be gone for... so I guess really you don't know much at all, but that's beside the point. The point is, I'm gonna miss you guys. Ginny, don't freak out like you do when Harry travels, it's silly. Harry, try to survive without me. Hermione, live your life. I know we said that we would wait until you worked things out to be together but with me going away I hope you can live your life and not wait for me. Just don't forget me. We can talk again when I'm back. You'll always be my best friend."

Molly sniffed loudly, "My littlest boy has grown up so much. Now, come everyone, there's cake."

Hermione realized her tea had gone cold while she was lost in her thoughts and decided to go to bed. Tomorrow was going to be an interesting day and she would need her rest.

Hermione was early to her lunch with Ron. Some habits were hard to break. Even though she knew that Ron was likely going to be just as late as she was early. She had just settled down for some people watching when she heard a voice behind her, "I was sure that for once I would make it somewhere before you."

"Ron!" she shrieked as she leapt out of her chair at him. "You're here, I can barely believe it"

The two sat down at the patio table Hermione had claimed. "We can go inside if you want; I just came out here,"

"To do some people watching?" Ron smiled, "I guessed as much. You look really good Hermione."

Once they ordered, Ron smiled and reached across to take Hermione's hand and smiled at her. Hermione started to get a bit uncomfortable and pulled her hand away to fiddle with her phone and send a message.

"So Ron, how was your trip? Are you all finished now? Did you meet anyone while you were away?" Hermione questioned.

Ron laughed, "Is that why you are so nervous? Of course I didn't Hermione. I knew you were waiting for me at home. Speaking of, we should make some plans for the year anniversary of the Final Fight."

"Ron, what are you talking about?"

"Well we are two thirds of the golden trio and we will be expected to have a big role at the celebration. Especially since we are together."

"Ron..." Hermione was starting to panic a bit

Ron smiled, mildly condescending, "If you are worried about us, don't be. We'll figure it out together. Now, is your apartment big enough for both of us or should we look for a new one?"

Hermione looked around and spotted a familiar face walking towards them. She braced herself for Ron's reaction, "Ron, stop. I'm seeing someone."

Ron's face went through several shades of red and he moved his mouth like a fish, trying to find the words, "What? Why?" and after a second, "Who?"

Ron felt a hand come down on his shoulder and a familiar voice say, "That would be me Weasel."

Hope you guys enjoyed it. This was for the We're in a Relationship Challenge.

There should be another chapter, but lemme know what you think of this one.
