AN: ok it's part 2! (heads up... these chapters jump time! they are just the milestones in their relationship)
Hermione looked up at Ron. They were curled up on her couch, watching TV. Ron was mesmerized but the idea of the cartoons on the screen. Sometimes she really forgets how closed off the wizarding world really is. She focused on his jaw line, his sparkling eyes, and his pink chapped lips. He was quite lovely, she thought. She burrowed deeper under his arm. He was also warm and comfortable. She loved moments like this. It was quiet, there wasn't awkwardness, and they could be themselves. It was at the point she knew that she was indeed in love with him. She was almost as sure that Ron felt the same, but on the off chance he didn't, she would not be the first to confess love. She closed her eyes and just breathed in the scent that was just purely Ron.
Ron took a moment to glance down at Hermione. She was beautiful, he thought. He loved when she let her hair flow down, even though it got frizzy. He loved that she was comfortable enough with him to cuddle like this. He loved the feel of having her near him. He loved her intelligence, he loved her wit. Ron just loved her. He was in love with her. A part of him believes he always had been, since that first day on the Hogwarts Express when she barged into his cabin looking for Neville's toad. The fact that he was now with her scared him slightly. It all seemed too good to be true. And for that reason, he would not be the first to admit his feelings.
Hermione opened her eyes and met Ron's. She smiled and reached her hand up to his cheek. She leaned up to kiss him. He got the hint and met her half way. They kissed softly and sweetly. When they pulled apart, they looked in each other's eyes.
Simultaneously, they sighed and said, "I love you."
