Pairing: Ron / Harry

On Top of Things

"Harry, I don't want to be at the bottom," Ron pouted as he sat on the bed. Harry sighed and sat down beside him.

"Well, I don't want to be at the bottom either but there's no way both of us are going to be on top."

Ron pondered over this. It made sense, however… "Harry, why am I the one sacrificing? You look more like a bottom person than me."

Harry raised one quizzical eyebrow. "Oh? Why's that?"

"I… I don't know. You look more like a girl than me?" Harry's cheeks flushed momentarily.

"I don't! Besides, what has that got to do with anything?" Harry demanded.

"Well, everything! That's why you look more bottomized than me."

Harry slapped a hand to his forehead in exasperation and a pained look crossed his face. "Urgh, Malfoy said the same things and guess what, I ended up being at the bottom."

"What?!" Ron gaped at him in horrid fascination. "You and Malfoy slept together? When?"

Harry's blush became more evident. "Well, you know last year's prefects' camp, I had the incredibly bad fortune to end up sharing a room with him." (A/N: Heck with reality, Harry is a prefect in this story, for the benefit of the, albeit non-existent, plot.)

Ron looked disgusted, then furious. "That prick! He bullied you into being at the bottom?"

"Yeah," Harry scratched his chin thoughtfully. "Come to think of it, that guy actually has sexual frustrations. You should hear him."

Ron's eyes bulged. "Malfoy? Sexual frustrations? Where's the connection? Did he take it out on you?"

"Of course! You know how vocal he is. I wasn't able to sleep the whole night."

Ron looked at his best friend sympathetically. "Well, it's tough being at the bottom, feels kind of powerless. Tell you what, why don't we take turns?"

Harry smiled, relieved, "Sure, power switches are always good." They shook on it.

Ron got up from the bed. "You'll take the odd days and I'll take the even ones. Today is Wednesday so you'll take the top bed for tonight."

Harry grinned at him, his mood brightened considerably.

(later, at night)

"Harry?"

"Hm…?"

"Does Malfoy really sleep-talk?"

Sigh. "Don't remind me. Sleep-moan more likely."

"EW!"
