AN: Hello Hello! Here we are once again, the moment when I should be studying but I find myself writing another chapter of this fic :D I hope you like it!
One Nice Chat
Ron had been in a state, which was understandable of course, after all he lost his brother, but now she was worrying. He remained secluded in his room, she wasn't sure if he was even eating. 'Ron, not eating' even saying it sounded wrong. The thought of it made the weirdest shivers go down her spine. So she gathered her Gryffindor courage and climbed the remaining flight of stairs to his room, where she found him sitting on his bed looking out his window. As she walked closer to him their eyes locked for a second that felt like an eternity, then he dropped his gaze and turned to the window again.
"I know it's h-hard, and uncomfortable, but, Ron, you are not alone. E-Even if it may feel like it, you are not." Hermione told her boyfriend? Well, she certainly hoped that's what he was by now, it was evident to everyone -this finally included them!- of their feelings towards each other. Even though her voice slightly faltered she was determine to say her peace.
"I, we, did not survive this whole damn seven years," A small smile creeped to his face when he heard her curse "especially the last two, to lose you now, especially when you are perfectly healthy." She took a shaky breath. Their eyes locked again, this gave her the strength to continue. "Yes, healing is a process, a long one at that," He dropped his gaze once again. She felt her heart shatter, he was ashamed of hurting "but I'll be with you every step of the way, Ron. You have me. You are never alone." He continued looking at her feet.
"Did you hear me? Ron?" He said nothing. She sat next to him, closer than what really necessary. Her hand slowly made its way to his, their pinkies intertwined. The rest of their fingers soon followed suit and before they realized their hands were clasped together.
"Y-you kissed me" Ron finally spoke. A soft red hue found its way to both their faces. Suddenly the floor was really interesting.
"Y-Yes I-I did" she managed to say after a silence while avoiding his eyes. "Ronald Weasley I kissed you" he turned to face her, a grin adorned his face, nice addition to his red hue "I kissed you because I c-couldn't go on with the battle, with the possibility of losing..." tears welled up in her eyes "I couldn't go on not knowing how it felt to have your lips on mine," She blushed even further "to feel your breath so closely, I had been containing myself. I was excelling at it too, but then you go and mention the house Elves, and how we had to keep them safe. And everything came rushing over me, and I couldn't just ignore the urge that time, so I kissed you." They both smiled and their eyes locked for a third time; blue and brown, brown and blue. "Was it out of time and out of place? Most definitely. Do I regret it? Never in a million years." They sat on his bed until his stomach growled angrily.
"Took you long enough" she said smiling at him
"What?"
"I was expecting that since I walked in. I know you haven't eaten for a while"
"Oh" he looked shamefully to the floor.
"So come on, let's fix that" she smiled at him, getting up from the bed.
"Hermione?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you. For everything"
"Thank you too Ron."
