HELLO world. I have returned after a while of writing-less annoyance and lethargy. Now that I have returned I guess I have to go through the quick legal-babble:

I do NOT own Harry Potter & Co. (shame of shames), I am NOT making money off this writing(see previous parenthesis) and I DO enjoy slash(male on male) and everything that implies. Now, for warnings:

THIS STORY CONTAINS GAY IMAGES! Yes! there are gay relationships in this fic. Yes! there are implied boot-knocking and tongue-kissing between boys. No! there are no explicit gay sex-scenes.

I can't think of anything else to point out, if you notice anything, let me know. Otherwise,

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Tension- Sexual and Otherwise

Ron turned the page of Quidditch Through the Ages and yawned. He loved the sport as much, if not more, as the next bloke but he thought Katie's idea of reading up on "the keepers of old" was a bit far-fetched. Reading about such an active activity was almost self-defeating, in his mind. The fact that he didn't like reading much in the first place didn't help matters. He silently thanked Merlin that the chapter was over and took a moment to look over at Harry, who was lying in the other twin bed in their room in the Burrow. When the twins moved out Ron quickly jumped at the opportunity to have a bigger room. As he contemplated the raven-haired boy, the door burst open. Having gotten their attention with her theatric entrance, Ginny proceeded to walk over to her brother and straddle him.

"Can we fuck now? Or, would that be rude?" she had a great grin on her face

"Well, if we're discreet about it..."said Ron, grabbing her by the hips and rolling her under him, away from Harry.

In a mock moan Ron cried out, "Oh, Ginny! Yes!" causing Harry to cast off the copy of Quidditch Through the Ages that was lying on his stomach and punch Ron in the back,

"Ass!"

Continuing the performance, Ginny faux-moaned, "Oh! Ron! Oh, Not Harry!"

With this Harry yanked Ron from on-top of Ginny, threw him to the ground, and attempted to pin him. After a struggle, Harry was on-top of Ron, pinning his wrists.

"You told her? You're such a sod!"

As much as he could with Harry pinning him, Ron shrugged.

This action melted whatever annoyance Harry had felt for the redhead.

"I swear, if I didn't love you," he leaned down to kiss him, "I would beat your ass."

"Cute as it is, "said Ginny, "it's making me a bit nauseous, so I'm going to go. Plus, I owe Seamus an owl."

Right after the door clicked closed, Harry spoke "Slut"

Eyes narrowing, Ron replied, "My sister?"

"No, Seamus." responded Harry laughing

After they finished laughing, they took advantage of their, rather sexual, positioning.

The fire crackled in the fireplace, almost unnecessarily considering it was only the end of August, while the last bits of sun slowly seeped out of the Weasley living room. Ron snuggled up against Harry on the couch, taking in his scent.

"Geez guys, can't you go a half-hour without snuggling?" playfully complained Ginny,

"You make me miss Seamus so much more."

"Oh, shut it Gin" replied Ron, inching closer

He had to get as much of Harry as he could because the school year was about to start and, even though their group of friends accepted them, there was only so much male-male intimacy that the Hogwarts community stomached before being critical or abusive.

"You'll barely see anything at Hogwarts, so think of this as the storm before the calm" sighed Ron.

Harry ran his fingers through the auburn hair, "You know, Ron, we don't have to be so reclusive."

"But Harry, unlike you, I don't handle extra attention very well. I hate the critical eyes, the whispers, the rumors, all of it. I mean, I love you to pieces, but I hate the fact that I everything we do is subject to public scrutiny."

This time it was Harry who sighed, "So much for 'love conquers all'"

"Oh, c'mon Harry, don't be a sod. You know that's not what I mean, it's just hard."

"I'm part of this situation too, I know how it feels, but you're worth it to me."

"You're worth it to me too, I've just never had to really deal with it all. You've been the bloody "Boy Who Lived" since you've known what it means to be a wizard, so you know how to deal with all of it, I'm just saying rough for the first while."

"Why does it always come back to the 'Harry Potter: Superstar' shit? I don't think about it, why do you?"

Getting sick of their bickering Ginny spoke up from her spot on the floor, "Damn it you two! Stop and listen to yourselves. Both of you take your heads out of your arses and realize you love it each other, you're both stressed, and shit happens" with that she huffed, enthusiastically turned the page of Young Witch Weekly, and continued reading her article, Acne Spells: Positives and Negatives.

It took a moment for the two of them to take in the outburst of a normally calm Ginny. After her words had sunk in, Harry whispered,

"She's right, you know. I do love you"

Ron smiled, "Yeah, love you too"

The sweet warm then cool sensation on his neck, shaped like Harry's lips, pushed any negative thoughts out of his mind and Ron realized that the year could bring all it had, and he'd be ready. Little did he know, it was going to do just that.
