6 of 26 in the A to Z 100 Word Drabble Series. Hermione is sick of Ron expecting her to be perfect. After a particularly bad fight, Ron leaves. But will Hermione take him back this time? RH

A/N: Welcome to the A to Z 100 Word Drabble Series, where every story is approximately 100 words long, and is full of fluff and funniness, and the author's note is nearly as long as the stories themselves. This is a series of drabbles, based on different characters in Harry Potter, using prompts beginning with each of the 26 letters of the alphabet. I am posting them as oneshots, rather than one long chaptered fic because then I can put them in the correct categories, with the proper characters. The full series can be found in my profile. Enjoy!

F- Fighting

"I'm sick and tired of your complaining all the time!" she screamed in frustration, "I'm sorry I'm not perfect! But, I can't be your bloody mother, and I can't do all the cooking and cleaning all the time. And if you can't accept that, then leave! And go find someone who will be!"

He stared at her for a moment with a stony expression on his face, then turned on his heel, and Apparated on the spot with a sharp crack.

Hermione jerked her head up at the sound of the crack outside the front door. She wiped her eyes and nose one last time, and vanished the pile of tissues on the table. As Ron appeared in the doorway, she contemplated hexing or punching him again, but decided on a weak, "You came back."

He smiled grimly, "I always seem to…"

"I'm sorry I said those things." She offered.

"No." he said, "You were right. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left; I'm just bad at dealing with things… Always have been."

She rose and pulled him into a hug, "It's ok." She whispered into his chest. "I'm just sick of fighting all the time."

Ron pressed a kiss to the top of her head, "Yeah, but you know what?" She looked up into his eyes as he said, "I came back because I'd rather fight with you than make love with anyone else."

A/N: Ok, so much longer than 100 words, but it was just too hard to cut it down. I liked this because it reflects when Ron came back in DH, except Hermione's reception was a little nicer this time... The awesome quote at the end isn't mine- it's from "The Wedding Date", which inspired this.
