Well, people aren't enamoured at the fact that Ron seems evil, but, he ISN'T evil! I love Ron! I really should have combined the chapter before with this one, it would have been better I think. Just read and find out what happens…

After Ron had stormed out of the house, there was an uncomfortable silence. Oliver glanced quickly at everyone in the room, they were all wearing the same shocked expressions on their faces. His eyes finally came to rest on his husband. Percy's face was gradually falling and his eyes were starting to shine with tears. Within a matter of seconds, the tears fell against Percy's will and he fled from the room. Oliver however, didn't run after him, instead, he turned to Molly.

"Can you go to Percy, I want to find Ron."

"Of course dear, I honestly don't know what came over him." She replied, moving to the door to try and find Percy.

Oliver proceeded out of the house and into the garden, he doubted Ron would have gone far, he just needed to be out of Percy's way by the looks of it. Oliver was angry at Ron for upsetting Percy so much, but the look in his eyes when he had stormed out, it looked almost, upset. Oliver searched the extensive garden for a number of minutes before he eventually came across Ron sitting on a bench in the rose garden with his head in his hands.

"Ron?"

The red head jumped as Oliver spoke, turning his head away from his hands to face Oliver.

"What? Came to gloat about how happy you're going to be?" he spat, tears streaming silently down his face.

"What's up Ron, I don't understand why you're so upset. Aren't you comfortable with Percy and I being together?" Oliver asked softly, sitting on the bench, a little way from Ron.

"No-one gets it." Ron muttered, turning away from Oliver to stare at his hands which were cupped together in his lap.

"I might. I've had to deal with a lot, its not easy coming out you know, it took me months to be able to finally admit it to myself, let alone anyone else. Please tell me." Oliver explained calmly, not taking his eyes off Ron. He heard Ron sigh heavily.

"I like men." He muttered.

Oliver had definitely heard what he had said but he didn't quite believe it. Before he could question Ron, he started talking again.

"I've known since I was thirteen. At first it was Harry. I adored him. I never wanted to be away from him. I never even knew if he was, you know."

"Gay?"

"Yeah, that. Well, I finally plucked up the courage to tell him in our third year. He said that he'd had an extra lesson so I went to the room where he would probably have had it so I could meet him when he'd finished. When I got to the corridor, no-one was about but, well," Ron sighed deeply. "I heard some really strange noises from one of the rooms. I had no idea what it was so I sneaked a peak, I mean come on, I was young and really curious. Harry was in there… With Malfoy." Ron stopped and closed his eyes before he continued, Oliver listened intently.

"I was really upset and I knew that I could never have Harry. He never knew that I saw him so I never mentioned it. Eventually I sort of got over him but it really hurt. Then in the summer of that year, it got really complicated and I got really confused. It was at the Quidditch World cup." He glanced quickly up at Oliver then focussed back on his hands as his eyes came into contact with Oliver's. Ron obviously didn't want to continue but he had gone so far, he couldn't stop now.

"It was when we had gone to get water and on our way back, we met you." Ron had his eyes tightly closed now, regretting every word he was saying. "I, I really liked seeing you again. I never really knew you well at school. It was strange. You looked so different when you weren't in your school uniform. I started to really like you. Then you came to stay with Perce. I made such a prat out of myself. I, just, I don't know, you were my second real crush, it was even more serious to me than Harry ever was. Then after a while when I thought I knew you well enough to start, well, you know, talking to you about it, Percy announced that you two were an item. It was the Harry scenario all over again. I never really stopped liking you Oliver. I saw the same things in you that Percy always told us he loved about you. I put up with listening and actually pretended to be happy for him just so I could hear more about you. Eventually I just got so sick of the fact that the only people I had ever really liked had been whisked away before I had even been given the chance to tell them how I felt. You and Percy married and just last year, Harry and Draco announced that they were officially together. I thought I was over him but I'll never really get over him completely. And just now, when Percy said that you're going to have a baby, it just killed me. My brothers would always be one better than me and get the things that I could never have. As soon as Perce said it, I was torn. I wanted to run away when everyone started congratulating you but then, you looked at me. You were asking me to support Percy. I just couldn't refuse you. Just when Fred and George started making me think about how perfet your child would be, I couldn't take it any more. I'm sorry that I hurt Percy and, I'm sorry to you too Oliver." Ron stopped speaking and Oliver knew that he had finished. Oliver was very very shocked at what Ron had just said but it had made clear so many things. Why Ron had never been comfortable at their house, how he seemed strangely quiet at the Wedding when the rest of his family and friends had been laughing and having a good time, how just a few minutes previously he had stormed out in a rage on one of the happiest days of his and his husband's lives.

"Ron?"

The red head refused to look at Oliver.

"Look, I'm flattered that you feel that way about me. I really am, and I'm pleased that you could tell me, but, I could never have had eyes for anyone but Percy. I found out the same time as you about my sexuality. It was pretty awkward. When Percy started seeing Penelope I was distraught. I really thought I would never have him, but they broke up and look where I am now, Percy and I are going to have a baby. I could only have dreamed about this day for years and years and now it's actually happening. I still think you like Harry, deep down, and I think you should go after him. Your true love is the one you cannot be without, even if its just friendship that keeps you together. Have you ever fallen out with Harry?"

"Yeah."

"And how did it feel?"

"Awful, it felt like my entire world was crashing down around me. I couldn't speak to him, it was hard to even look at him, and it really hurt. I didn't care what he had done to me, I just wanted to apologise for everything I had ever done to him."

"Now to me, that sounds like love. Pure love Ron. Please, if you want to make me happy, find Harry and tell him. Do whatever it takes to win him from Draco."

Ron turned to look at Oliver for the first time since he had snapped at him, a questioning look in his eyes.

"Do you really think I love him?"

"I have no doubt."

Ron was silent for a few moments, lost in his own thoughts.

"Thanks Oliver. I'm sorry about all the times I've been a bit awkward, and I'm sorry for upsetting Percy like that."

"I think you should be telling that to Percy."

Oliver gave Ron an encouraging smile and a thankful one was returned as Ron stood up and began to run back to the house to find his brother.

Oliver sat in contemplation for a while. The water from the rain of the previous day was still on the ground and small droplets were falling from the white roses that surrounded the bench Oliver was sitting on. Oliver ran his thumb over a soft white petal on the nearest flower to him and smiled. The Weasleys were indeed a mysterious family. Oliver had never expected Ron to be like him and his brother. He never expected his husband's little brother to have a crush on him, it was obvious to anyone who even glanced at the two that Ron and Harry were meant to be together, it was a hard fact to grasp that inside that little head there had been space for anything, let alone anyone apart from Harry.

The smile lingered on his face as Oliver thought about what Draco Malfoy would say to all of this, knowing that his partner had a secret admirer. Oliver laughed slightly at the thought of the all powerful Draco Malfoy begging Harry to stay with him when Ron told him how he felt. Of course Oliver would never want Malfoy to be hurt if he really did love Harry, he knew all too well what it felt like to lose the one you cared most about and he didn't wish that feeling upon anyone.

Oliver remained in the garden until he thought it was safe to return to the house, he wanted everything to be perfect when he returned to his husband. After about ten minutes, Oliver decided to start walking back. As he moved across the lawn, the bases of his trousers skimmed across the soft sheen of water laid across the surface, causing small sprays to cascade up his sides. As he reached the cherry tree, covered in blossoms, not phased in any way by the rain, Oliver stopped and thought. Percy Weasley was the man he loved, his husband, and that would never change. Maybe one day, Ron would be able to say the same thing about Harry.

Aha! Ron isn't a homophobe! Quite the opposite actually! He's simply misunderstood. Can anyone blame the boy? If I'd made this fic completely anti-Ron, my friend would probably have killed me, she adores him. I wanted to make a clear reason for exactly why Ron is portrayed the way he usually is, as intolerant and quite disturbed, this is why I think it is! Maybe I'll add in a little Ronny love later! And a tad more Percy Oliver action? Wink wink nudge nudge. Tell me what you think. Thanks!
