Honestly, I'm a loyal HHR fanfiction writer. But as I was listening to California King Bed, I suddenly wanted to write a oneshot based on the song. I originally started this as HHR but then felt as if RHR was so much more better for this oneshot. Probably my first and last Hermione/Ron one-shot, but nonetheless I love these two. Enjoy the oneshot!


You turned your body from me on our king sized four poster bed and you prepared to doze off. You don't say goodnight to me and you don't whisper sweet nothings as I finish my paperwork. Instead, you surf the muggle television we have in our bedroom and frown softly whenever you can't find something to watch.

It wasn't always like this.

We used to be so close and now even though we sat a couple of inches apart, it felt like we were miles and miles away. I closed my books and sighed softly as you murmured, "'Mione, can we turn off the lights now? I'm so sleepy."

With one swish of my wand, all lights turned off and I pulled myself under the sheets.

Why did it feel this way? Why did it feel as if you were so far away from me?

You casually flung an arm around me but turned your head the other way, mind seeming to be anyplace else other than this bed. It didn't take too long either for you to pull your hand away from me, fumbling and playing with the remote control, tossing it midair and then catching it before it hits your stomach. When you finally got enough of it, you turned it off, pulled the sheets all the way to your chin and sighed deeply.

I was still in my thoughts. And as I rolled and turned, stirred and wondered, you suddenly reached out for me, kissing me in my forehead.

"Good night." you murmured softly, obviously asleep already.

My breath caught in my throat, as if I just woke up from a bad dream.

But then, I realized, this was my reality. The distance was killing me, the silence was breaking me. All I could do was lay down and wonder how can a person who was so close from me feel so far away.

When did we become like this Ron Weasley? It wasn't always like this.
