'i love you' (a/n. hint hint look at the title)
I woke up and looked around. Where am I? I wondered. My eyes scanned over the room and came to a young boy of about 17 with flaming red hair. My stomach twisted into a knot again. He was laying in a hospital bed near a window that overlooked a crowded muggle street and then realized that I must have fell asleep in Ron's room at St. Mungo's. I looked at my watch and noticed it was 10am. I looked over at Ron and saw him stir slightly. I got up off of the chair that I was snoozing in and walked over to Ron's bed and sat on the end of it. I ran my hands through his hair, waiting for him to wake up. He was getting out today. I leaned down over him and kissed him on the forehead. As I went to sit back up, I realized that something or someone was restraining me. I looked down and as I suspected, Ron's arms were wrapped around my waist, holding me back.
"Don't leave." I heard him whisper.
"I won't. I promise." I whispered back as I planted a soft kiss on his lips.
"What time is it, 'Mione?" He said after we broke apart.
"10am." I say without looking at my watch; more concentrated on Ron's brilliant blue eyes.
"I'm getting out today, right?"
"Yep."
"Good."
I lay down next to him as he wraps his arms around me. I lay my head on his chest and we stay in that position until Mrs. Weasley came in half an hour later.
"Morning." I say as I sit up, smiling and held my hand out to help Ron do the same. He looked at my hand, smiled and then took it.
"Mornin' Mum."
"Good morning." Molly took a moment to study us and then cracked a grin.
"What?" Ron asked noticing her smile.
"Just, you two."
"What about us?" He asked pushing the subject.
"It's just . . . you two make a great couple. We all thought that you two would end up getting together sometime, but not knowing when. Now it's happened and . . ." Molly started to sob slightly. She was trying to keep her voice steady and doing surprisingly well for it being her. "You two are together and happier than I've seen you in a while." She just broke down and ran up to Ron and me and hugged us both.
When she let go, Ron looked at me with a questioning look on his face. My stomach knot returned. "What?" I ask.
"How come everyone knew we liked each other and were going to get together except for us?"
Molly smiled.
"Well, I knew I've liked you for a while now. Remember I told you I had a crush on you in first year." He nodded his head. "During third year I really started to care about you more and it wasn't just a crush anymore, but I was just to embarrassed and nervous to say anything about it."
"How come I didn't realize that I like you earlier? I think I knew that I liked you for a long time. When you said you'd go out with me, I realized it was true, but barley ever realized it before. Why?"
"Because you're too much of a daft prat to realize you had feelings for me." I said jokingly.
"I'm serious, 'Mione. Why?"
"I know you're serious, Ron." I said resting my head on his shoulder and taking his hand in mine and interlacing our fingers. I don't know why. I guess it's just a guy thing. It took Harry a long time to figure out that he like Ginny."
"Maybe."
"It took Arthur a long time to figure out that he liked me, too." Molly spoke for the first time since she let us out of her bone crushing hug. "I think it might be a guy thing." She said with a chuckle.
"Me too." I agreed.
"Me three." I looked at Ron.
"You are a guy, Ron." I looked at him curiously. "You are a guy aren't you?" I asked jokingly.
"Yes I am a guy. I'm just agreeing with you because you're stating the obvious."
"As usual." I say.
"Yep, as usual." He put his arm around me and tried to stand up. I stood up first and helped him. "Let's go. I want to go home."
"Me too." I whisper.
Ron grabbed his crutches and made his way out of the room; Molly and myself following. We got down to the main lobby and apparated back to the Burrow's kitchen. Ron made to sit down, but I stopped him.
"Hmm?"
"Come with me. I have to tell you something."
"Ok."
He hobble out side behind me with his crutches.
"What is it?"
I didn't answer him at first, but just kept on walking until we reached the lake. I stopped and looked at him. I saw the concern in his eyes as I looked into them. He studied me for a second and my stomach knotted again. I took a deep breath and held my gaze knowing that if I looked away, I wouldn't be able to look him in the eye until I finished telling him. "Ron, I...I...omigod." I put a hand on my stomach as a knot came and took a slow, deep, rattling breath, but I kept my gaze. "I...Ron, I...I love you." I said quickly, not taking my gaze away. I watched his expression go from concern to happiness. He cracked a grin at me and leaned down slowly and whispered in my ear.
"I love you, too, Hermione Jane Granger."
He looked at my expression and I smiled sweetly at him. He leaned down and kissed me. It had more passion than any other one than we had shared, beside the one we shared when we started going out. When we finally broke apart, I sat down near the edge of the lake and motioned for him to do the same. He sat down slowly because of his leg and when he was down, set his crutches down beside him. I rested my head on his shoulder and he took his hand in mine. I looked up at him and saw his smile. He looked at me and bent down and gave me a soft quick kiss.
"You know, now that I've said it, I feel like I want to say it again. I love you."
"I love you, too."
I kissed him once more before we laid down in the grass. I rested my head on his chest and wrapped my arm around his waist. He put his arm on my back and we fell asleep.
