Just one more exam tomorrow! I should be studying, but noooo, the computer was taunting me. It said, "Procrastinate, procrastinate!" How am I going to get any studying done? tsk tsk (-.-') Anyways, new chapter. Enjoy:D


"Hi! How may I help you?" A too bubbly cashier asked as Draco and Ron entered the video store.

Draco dismissed her with a wave. "We'll be fine." She looked sort of familiar.

"You're that guy I saw at the Laundromat today." She said.

"So?"

"My name is Pansy." said the cashier.

"I know." Draco answered.

Pansy gasped. "Really? How?"

"I can read your name tag."

"Oh. Well-"

Draco turned his back on her. "Come along Ron. I need to pick the movie."

Ron followed him into the romantic comedy section like a lost puppy. "That was the girl that I liked!"

"I know."

"How did you know? I never pointed her out to you." Ron asked, puzzled.

"I saw your staring at her boobs when we were at the Laundromat." Draco picked up a DVD. "What do you think of this movie?"

Ron gaped at the movie title. "Something's Gotta Give? Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson? These are old people, and this is a romantic comedy. You can't be serious?"

"On rainy days like this my mother and I would cuddle up in the living room and watch romantic comedies. Something's Gotta Give was one of her favorites."

"Oh. Um. Okay. After this, we're getting Chinese take-out." Ron said. I guess not growing up with 5 brothers would make you stick to your mother, he thought.

"Canwedropbythegrocerystore?" Draco quickly muttered without stopping to breathe.

"What? Slow down."

"We need hot chocolate."

Ron laughed. "You want to go to the grocery store? I though you wouldn't be caught dead-"

"Shut up."

The twosome walked up to the counter to check out the movie that Draco picked, making Pansy look up from her magazine. "Ooh, I love this movie. Are you guys gonna watch it with your girlfriends?"

Ron looked stupefied. Draco answered instead. "No, my roommate and I are going to watch it. In our dorm. Alone. We were going to watch a movie at the theatre, but we decided it was cozier at home, since it's raining. Goodbye." Draco left and Ron could do nothing but splutter as he followed Draco out the door.

"What was that?!" Ron said as soon the door of the shop closed.

"What was what?" Draco asked, putting on a look of innocence.

"You made it sound like we were…now she's going to think that I have a…AHHHH!"

"Exactly. Did you see the way she was looking at me? By making her think that you snagged a catch like me, she would have second thought rejecting you when you finally ask her out."

"That's not gonna work! She now thinks that I'm…"

"Gay? At least you have a very pretty boyfriend." Draco batted his eyelashes at Ron playfully.

"I did not see that." Ron squeaked. "Okay…off to the Chinese place."

"But what about the hot chocolate?"

"There's a store right next to the Chinese place. You can pick it up while I order and wait for the food." Ron avoided looking at Draco.

When they reached the Chinese restaurant, Ron pointed to a variety store to the right of it and left the car without looking at Draco.

"What a weirdo." Draco muttered to himself.

"I heard that!" Ron said, still not turning to look at Draco.

They each entered the stores. Ron was expecting Draco to come into the restaurant after a few minutes. It doesn't take long to get some hot chocolate mix. Ron even ordered tea for Draco, to cover up his weird actions.

Draco finally entered the restaurant, laden with 3 plastic bags and his hair slightly wet.

"Uh…we don't need that much hot chocolate, do we?" Ron asked upon seeing his roommate.

"No, but I thought about what you said. I might go hungry, and it's better if I'm prepared."

Ron smiled proudly. "Hah! I taught you something! Here, have some tea before it becomes totally cold." He pushed an untouched mug towards Draco and beckoned him to sit down.

After two cups of tea and a side order of spring rolls, Ron's order finally came. "Let's head home before the storm gets any worse." Ron took Draco's plastic bags, along with the takeout, and proceeded to walk to his truck. As Draco followed him, he said, "Wait here. I don't want you to get wetter than you already are."

Draco saw Ron's F-150 pull up at the front of the restaurant, and as he opened the door, Ron poked his head out of his rolled down window and called out, "One sec!"

Ron's head disappeared under the dashboard and reappeared as he opened his door and shook out an umbrella. He met Draco at the front and held the umbrella over the blonde head. "Ready."

Draco looked impressed and walked to the car, staying as close to Ron as he can so they can share the umbrella. It was a short trip, but Draco enjoyed the warmth that Ron's body emitted as he stood close to him.


Teehee... so that was a new one. Don't forget to review:D
