Pairing: Harry/Ron
Rating: PG
Warnings: Slash (male/male)
A/N: My Valentine's day ficlet. Harry/Ron is not my usual pairing, but I blame it all on Mad Martha and her fics (although Jadea is guilty as hell, too) and GatewayGirl whose fic "Blood Magic" (I love this fic, don't you dare to think otherwise) has Harry/Hermione pairing that has made me root for Harry/anybody-else-than-Hermione (well, maybe not Ginny. Or Dumbledore).
Cry
I never meant to cry, believe me. I didn't think I could cry anymore. All the tears I'd ever had – I'd cried them already. Or maybe I never had many tears to start with. But when you said those words, the tears just came out and wouldn't stop.
It's embarrassing, really.
You stand there, that startled look on your face. You know, the one you get when you are not sure what to do. I know you never expected me to cry. After all – I never cry much. I don't think you have seen me really cry before. I'm sorry, I never meant to make you worry. You mean the world to me, you know that? I think you do. I'm not that good with words, but you have learnt to read me well after all the time we have spent together.
We have been together for a long time, you and I. You were my first friend. I think it was only logical that you were my first lover as well.
Friends with benefits, right? Only for us it was best friends with benefits.
I remember, I was really surprised to learn I was your first lover as well. I always thought that you were... you know... with one of the "acquaintances" you went out with. Only you told me that – I remember it so well – "When you are having sex, you back in unguarded. You have to trust your partner to watch it. It's all about who you can trust."
It made me laugh then because it reminded me of one of Moody's lectures.
But it's true, that bit about trust. I had already understood that, even if I wasn't able to express that knowledge in words. And that's why you asked for... benefits... and that's why I agreed. I never thought...
I never thought you would make me cry. I never thought I would cry at something you said.
But it's not bad, you know? Not bad at all, because...
"I love you too, Ron."
The End
(And they lived Happily Ever After because it's Valentain's day and I say so)
