A/N: Guess which couple this is- Ron and Hermione with Krum, or Harry and Ginny with Dean. One-shot
That Should Be Me
He watches silently from the shadows. Watching her laugh with her new boyfriend, which is not him. It is his friend of all people! That should be me, he thought. Laughing and playing with her. She does not know. She is blind. How could she not see that loves her?
He yearns to run his fingers through that beautiful hair. Hold her hand. Laugh with her. Hug her. Be her boyfriend. Yet he cannot. And why? Because she is oblivious to his love. His undying love.
He knows her better than anyone, except for her family. All the times they had together, has that meant nothing? He can remember when he first saw her. There were so young and carefree. Not a care in the world. That has all disappeared. All that remains are those two. Yet, they are not together. It is wrong. It is not right. It was too painful for them to be separated.
He never should've fell for her in the first place. Those beautiful ginger locks of hair, those eyes -oh the eyes! Her humor, her simplicity, her confidence, brilliance.
He thinks back. To when they were just friends. No complications. No boyfriends. No girlfriends. Just friends. He remembers the fun they've had. Such fun. But , now it is gone. All gone.
He looks over and sees him tuck a piece of hair behind her ear as she giggles. I should be the one tucking that piece of hair behind her ear, He thought. Not him, Me.
His friends do not know what to think of this - this infatuation he has with her. They think its a petty little crush. They know nothing! They think it will pass, It can't - won't pass. He'll always love her. Always.
He's watching from the shadows as he tells her a joke and she laughs her beautiful laugh. And he's thinking, That should be me.
