A/N updatage! Let me know what you think : )
Ron woke up suddenly from a nightmare and Harry was already sat up staring worriedly at him.
"Are you ok?" Harry asked softly brushing the hair from Ron's eyes.
"Just a nightmare…" Ron said taking a deep breath.
"It's ok, I'm here…" Harry whispered lying back down and kissing Ron's ear lightly. Harry soon fell back to sleep but Ron lay awake looking around the darkness of his room listening to Harry breathing. The sound of Harry sleeping so relaxed Ron envied, but Harry would do all he can to help Ron out. Ron turned slowly to look at Harry and smiled at how peaceful he looked. As he looked onto his lover his stomach jumped letting him know that he did want more then friendship from him and he hoped Harry did too.
"Ron…" Ron heard Harry's whispers and opened his eyes; he must have fallen asleep in the end. "Sorry to wake you but breakfast is ready…" Harry said stroking Ron's hair.
"I don't want to go down there…" Ron said putting a hand onto Harry's hand and moving it to his mouth and kissing it.
"It's ok; you don't have to speak to him… Just go down there, eat and leave." Harry said and Ron sighed and slowly got out of bed. Ron slowly stood up wincing from his bruises and they changed into some clean clothes.
"Shit…" Ron said seeing his sleeve of the top he had put on, there were blood stains on the wrist from the other night. Harry looked sadly at him and waved his wand at it and the stain disappeared. "Thanks…" Ron said awkwardly looking at the floor. Harry took his hand and walked him out of his bedroom, letting go of his hand before entering the kitchen. Mr and Mrs. Weasley were sitting talking at the table when they entered.
"Morning, boys! How are you both?" Mrs. Weasley chirped and waved her wand so their breakfasts landed on the table for them.
"Okay thanks," Harry said with a smile and Ron nodded and sat down at the table next to Harry avoiding his father's stares. Harry started eating and nudged at Ron to start with his elbow slightly so Ron picked up his fork and stabbed at some eggs.
"You'll be late, Arthur!" Mrs. Weasley shrieked looking at the Weasley family clock. She ushered Mr. Weasley from his toast and out of the room and Harry noticed Ron relax at once. Mrs. Weasley came back into the kitchen smiling like she always did and started collecting her plates and mugs from breakfast.
"So what are you boys going to do today?" Mrs. Weasley asked happily and Ron shrugged but she had her back turned.
"Probably just be lazy, you know play some games." Harry answered for Ron.
"Don't you have studying to do?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Mum…" Ron said awkwardly.
"Don't neglect your schooling, Ronald." Mrs. Weasley said sternly turning to face her son. Ron sighed and nodded and Harry nodded too and carried on eating quickly. They finished their breakfast and headed back into Ron's bedroom and closed the door to themselves.
Ron sat on his bed and Harry opened the curtains letting some light into his room revealing what a mess it really was. Ron was scratching at his arm where his wounds were healing and Harry sighed at him making sure he heard. Harry sat on the bed next to him and looked at his arm and Ron looked guilty.
"I don't hate you for it, but it hurts to see you so depressed enough to hurt yourself like this… especially on top of everything else…" Harry sighed looking Ron up and down.
"I hate that I do it too… it's just, I'm so scared all the time… of him being the other side of the door, waiting to come in here… and well you know what happens…" Ron had started to cry again now, Harry took him into a hug and Ron cried onto his shoulder.
"You have to tell someone…" Harry said holding onto Ron tightly.
"I did… I told you." Ron said with barely any voice. The words hit Harry like a brick wall, Ron had told him after a day of being there when this has been going on for months. He expected Harry to save him.
