Hi, this is a short and sweet little ficlet bout H/H, small oneshot—I'm not really a het writer, prefer the slashy sides but tis my attempt!--—hope you enjoy ^_^

Confusing Reality.

She's sitting there reading one of her hefty tomes. She looks like she's oblivious to everything else.

I wish sometimes that I could be oblivious to the world, I wish that I could sit there and read a book and only be aware of what I'm reading. To shut out the world for just a little bit. But I can't.

I've got too much on my mind, her for one thing. I've known her for so long and I bet she knows me better then I do.

But she doesn't know one thing--- that I love her or I think I do. I've never been in love before so I don't know what it feels like.

But I'm pretty sure what I feel is love. Every time she smiles I want to smile, every time she laughs I want to laugh. Every time her face scrounges up in sadness I want to make it better.

And every time she sighs I want to kiss her----and she sighs a lot.

But I can't kiss her, I can't confess my undying love for her. I think its because I'm afraid what she would say, would she reject me? Or would she smile and say she loves me back?

Oh gods I don't know.

I close my eyes briefly, I can't dwell over this forever. Like Ron always says---it's now or never.

I take a deep breath and gathering all that bravery that us Gryffindors are so well known for I attract her attention.

"Hermione?"

"Hmm?" she looks, up her eyes questioning.

I lean in close, deciding that if I tried to say something my throat would just close up on me. Her face is so close that I can feel her warm breath on my cheek. Oh gods—it's now or never.

So I kiss her—and she kisses me back. And I feel like I'm flying, that my whole world has fallen to pieces then rearranged itself in the most beautiful pattern.

And now I know. I know that what I felt is love.

I love her……

"Harry?……. HARRY!"

My eyes flash open and she's looking at me……and I realize that I hadn't kissed her and she hadn't kissed me back and that I had fallen asleep.

And once again I'm confusing reality.

Cute ne? Yes, makes me all fuzzy in side.
