Remember to Breathe
(a Ron/Hermione song fic)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything but the plot! The song Remember to Breathe, on which this fic is based, belongs to the utterly amazing group, Dashboard Confessional.
Enjoy!
~She
fixes her lips they
Always look perfect
Never a smudged
line
Never too much~
Ron stares at his beautiful wife as she sits in front of her antique French vanity. They are about to go out for their two year anniversary. She fixes her lips.
~I
try on my blue shirt
She told me she liked it, once
She wonders
what I'll wear
She knows just what she'll wear
She always wears
blue~
I button up one of the many blue shirts she has given me. I see her look up at me in the reflection of the mirror, and she smiles. I love her smile.
"What pants will you wear, Ronald?" she quietly asks, as if not to offend. I can see in her eyes she wants me to wear what she has picked out for me in her head. I give it a go.
"Khaki's, love." She smiles again! That pleased her. "We're just going to the beach, right?" I flash a smile and she reciprocates it. I can tell now I said precisely what she was thinking. She was so simplistic and sensible. No need to get dressed up to go to the beach. She understood that.
She was wearing a light blue summer dress. She always wears blue.
~So
sneakers or flip flops
I'm starting to panic, wait, wait
Remember
she asked you
Remember to
Breathe
And everything will be
okay
Alright~
Oh no! In all the years I've known her, this has never been a problem. But tonight was different; what shoes would I wear? I could tell she saw the minor panic in my eyes. She turned and looked at me contemplating what shoes to wear. She got up and started walking toward me, but she detoured and grabbed the flip flops, walked over to me, set them down beside my feet, put her hands on my chest and kissed me. A small, warm kiss. A peck, some would say; one of the most powerful kind of kisses.
"Ronald Bilius Weasley," she whispered, "you must remember to breathe, Darling. Everything will be ok. Alright." She smiled.
