Ch. 10

The boys were laying in the bubbly Jacuzzi tub. Ron lay on Draco's chest, Draco was looking at the ceiling while mindlessly messing with Ron's hair. Ron was sipping on a hot tea and moving his fingers over the water. The jets had stopped and both the boys were just sitting in the bubbles. "Are you okay?" asked Ron. "you are quiet." Draco didn't answer immediately, instead he racked him mind on how to answer.

"Yeah, well, I will be okay."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Not yet."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"Forever?"

"Forever and a day." Draco kissed Ron and turned the jets back on and tickled Ron's back.

"Ooh!" Ron turned around and seductively overcame Draco. Draco succumbed to the boy and let Ron take over him.

After their romp in the Jacuzzi tub, Draco lifted himself out of the tub and into a warmed dark green robe. Ron repeated the same action and wrapped himself into a dark red robe. "I have missed over a month of school." said Ron "I wouldn't be surprised if you missed more." Draco cocked his eyebrow and looked Ron up and down.

"Well in that case I don't think I want to go to school ever again." Ron leaned in to kiss Draco but missed. Draco had gotten up and walked to the library, the room that was formerly Ron's, and sat down at a mahogany desk. "Hey, what'd you leave for?"

"I have an essay to do-" Ron looked at Draco "for real this time! I cant miss any more class, and neither can you. Do you need any help with all your homework?"

"No, everyone gave me a project to do instead of making up my homework, well, everyone but Snape. He gave me a huge packet and told me to be in his class early Monday morning for a test worth more than the OWLS themselves. Kinda figured. Well, I need to finish this. I will meet you for bed later."

Ron nodded and left the room to snuggle up on their sofa. It wasn't until three in the morning that Ron had awaken to a different room. He turned around in his bed and saw a sleeping Draco. 'He looks like an angel' Draco must have moved him from the couch when he had finished his essay. How sweet his love was. Ron had never loved anyone more than he did Draco. It was so hard to believe that his first year they had been enemies but then sometime during sixth year they just clicked.

Ron thought back to the very day

Ron had been walking through the halls and towards Professor McGonagall's. "AUGH!" he screamed in frustration. "Snape is trying to kill me with these potions!"

"I know, even Hermione is having a hard time with them." replied Harry, catching up to his best friend. As they walked into Professor McGonagall's classroom they noticed most were in pairs.

"Oh, nice of you to join us boys." said Professor McGonagall quit frustrated.

"Sorry" both of them mumbled under their breath.

"No need." said the professor. "Now, Harry if you would pair up with Hermione and-" At that moment the last straggler walked into the room. "Draco." the boy stopped in his tracks. "Since you and Mr. Weasley both decided to be late I am assigning you partners for this project." both of the boys faces fell as they glared at each other with distaste. "Now your project assinments are all different so there will be no cheating off of another. Each of you will be given something to trasfigure and will show the class." most of the kids were groaning, Ron and Draco included. Hermione seemed to be the only one interested as she squeeked with joy at whatever her project was to be. "Now, you will need to practice with your partner at least an hour a day before completely mastering your object. Good luck." The two boys walked to the farthest away table. Ron sat down as far away from Draco as possible.

"You know Weasel, I'm not poisonous." Ron looked Draco up and down and scoffed.

"Yeah, okay! are you sure about that?" Ron barely scooted closer towards Draco.

"Anyways. Lets just get this over with before I have to look at you again."

"Whatever Malfoy."

Three weeks later

Draco met Ron in the Library. "It's about time you got here." said Draco annoyed.

"Just be glad I got here."

"Oh, and you think I couldn't do this without you?"

"I have a hard time believing it, yes."

"Oh really?" Draco had gotten up and pushed Ron into a wall.

"Get off me!" Ron screamed and pushed him onto the table. His fists clenched. Draco had gotten up and rammed his fist into Ron's stomach. Draco had pushed Ron up against the wall. There was no escaping Draco's grasp. Then without thinking Ron lunged forward and kissed Draco. As soon as it had happened it ended. Draco looked at Ron in the eyes, almost as if he were fighting temptation. "Um, what were we doing?" asked Ron, trying to ignore what he had just done.

"This," Draco replied as he leaned in and kissed him back. Ron looked into Draco's eyes with surprise. Without even a second guess the two boys were in each others grasp. Each boys lips crushing on the others. Barely able to breathe Ron and Draco had backed off of one another. "Um, that was..."

"Amazing." said Ron

"Yeah, we will go with amazing."

Ron was running his fingers lightly through Draco's hair. "Mhm" Draco mumbled under his breath. Ron moved from the bed without trying to disturb Draco. He walked into the living room and sat down on the couch, the fire was started. Ron warmed his feet and grabbed a cup of hot chocolate. "Morning" said Draco wrapping his arms around Ron's neck. "You're awake?"

"Of course. I have been for a while."

"Oh, I didn't want to wake you."

"Why not? I would have welcomed a morning kiss."

"Well then come over here."

"I have a better idea." Draco grabbed Ron's hand and guided him back into the bedroom before closing the door.
