Author's Note: George and Angelina make me sad, but I wanted to make some sense of them. I think that they do love each other, but not in the same way that Angelina loved Fred or George loved Alicia, and I think their relationship is based on compromise. Review!
He never denies her himself. Even when he is with Alicia, Alicia her friend, Alicia his love, he does not deny her the best of him. There is no time to break things off, to write the endings before writing the beginnings, so transitions and changes just blend into each other.
Life is like that he supposes.
At some point she stops coming over and starts being over and no one really knows what to say. They think that he's broken, that he's less than a man without his louder (better) twin, and that she is just using him for his looks.
And she is of course. But it's only because he uses her for her memories, the intimacies that she shared with Fred that George couldn't share, the things that guys don't talk about, like marriage, and promises, and love.
She tells him his favorite color, and George is surprised it isn't blue like his.
She tells him he kissed her softly, and George can only think that soft is the last word he would use to describe Fred.
She tells him he had wanted two kids, and George already knows what she's asking.
He doesn't deny her. He doesn't deny when she asks him to fill the empty space in her bed or the one in her heart.
And she doesn't deny his bended knee request, because after all, she owes him.
