Love is
"Why do you love me?"
Of all the things she could have done, she decided to talk. Of all the things she could have said, she asked a question. Of all the questions in the world, she had to ask the most ridiculous one. Did she even let him hug her? No, of course, she didn't; after minutes of silence- the worse in his life- she asked this.
Now, this isn't fair, is it? And it's definitely not what every man dreams of hearing after proposing to the girl of his dreams.
"What kind of a question is this?" he complains out loud, but her look silences him.
"Please, Teddy," she asks, her fingers grabbing his shirt forcefully like she's afraid of falling. "Please, tell me."
With a sigh, he tries to put his feelings in words. It's hard, but he'll try for her. For her, he'd do anything.
"Because you're who you are, Vic. You're my best friend; you understand me, you support me, you stand by my side and never ask for anything in return. Because you don't pressure me; you let me break down without asking the reason- you tell everything will be alright even though you have no idea if it will. Because you're my punch bag, and you will take anything from me.
"Because when you're angry you yell at me and blame me for everything, and then you break down. Because you give me a look and I can tell that you need me. Because we understand each other. Because every time I hear something went wrong, I think about you and I hope that you're alright. Because we grew up side by side and I can't picture my life without you.
"Because you're you and yet you're not arrogant; you're a Weasley but you're your own person."
As he speaks her face brightens up, and a smile appears at her lips. She kisses him, before he manages to finish his last sentence, and hugs him tightly.
"I love you too, Teddy. You're perfect and I'm not worthy of all these but I…"
"Don't be silly," he tells her, smiling back at her. He pulls her even closer, wanting to hold her for as long as possible. "Marry me," he mutters once again, this time with his face hidden in her hair.
She nods enthusiastically against him. "Yes."
A belated birthday present for Amy! Happy birthday! :-*
