The short story of Neville and Seamus was killing Seamus, slowly. He couldn't figure out why, though. He had been in love with other people in his life before. He'd been hurt by those people before. He'd gotten over them.
So why was Seamus so fixated on the one, single kiss that he shared with Neville?
Maybe it frustrated him, inside, that he had been rejected. Because, yes, even though he'd never admit it to anyone, Neville was the one that immediately rejected Seamus, marking their first kiss as their final one. In the past, Seamus was the stronger one. If anyone did any rejecting, it was always Seamus. Nobody rejected Seamus Finnigan.
If you asked Seamus why he kissed Neville, he would have no answer. Maybe it was because he felt desperate; the war was such a big thing, more and more deaths happening every day. Maybe he felt like if he didn't get that one kiss right then, he wouldn't have another chance to.
Maybe he thought they would be the perfect power couple: the two Gryffindor leaders of the student's resistance.
He had no idea what he was thinking, or why Seamus even kissed Neville, but the unfortunate fact, at least for Seamus himself, was that he did and now he couldn't get over him.
