This is my first fic so try not to be too harsh! I hadn't really planned it but it just kind of came out so hopefully I won't have disgraced the English speaking population too much. I was thinking about Ron and Hermione while writing this but it could work for more or less any couple in existence.
They were getting close
So close
On an evening he would tell her goodnight and then he would hold her for what seemed like hours to both of them. They were lost in a dream and each others grasp. Looking up she saw his beautiful blue eyes looking down at her lovingly and she felt her face soften to show him the same love. She went to kiss his cheek. That was all that she could manage without being too obvious, but amazing things happen when you are too slow to react. He reached for her lips and for a brief moment they brush against each other. A brief moment time that should never end.
He says goodnight and suddenly she feels cold as the heat of his body leaves her. She is left only with a memory of that feeling, knowing that if she kissed back he would never have left. She goes to bed dejected.
He goes to bed disgraced that the one girl he ever wanted to kiss didn't kiss him back.
If only both held on for a few more moments, for moments like that just don't happen enough. Brief moments in history when you are nothing but a feeling, a need.
In this case, looking at a true first love, you hope that the moment does come around again. For moments like that can change lives, history and the world if we only let it.
