"I just understand what happened. You are being so weird. So weird. We were fine a week ago and now you barely look at me in the eye. You flinch everytime I say Freddie. What happened? What did I do that was so horrible you cant even look at me anymore. This hurts Freddie" you finally let out after a week and half of pure confusion.

A week and a half ago you two were running through the hallway of Hogwarts on your way to the common room after completing a prank together. You had tripped and Fred caught you. Grabbing you just in time and spinning you around causing you to giggle. You got into the common room and you gave Fred a kissed on the cheek and said goodnight and thanked him for a fun night. Nothing out of the norm, I mean you don't always kiss his cheek, but you also don't not do it.

You have been racking your brain ever since that night because the next morning is when everything changed.

"You didn't do anything wrong." Fred responded in a quiet voice, one he doesn't ever accept for this last week when it feels like the only tone he knows how to use. Well at least with you.

You threw your hands up in frustration and let them fall back to your side. " Then what happened Freddie? I miss you. Merlin, I miss you" you say practically begging him to help you figure out how everything went wrong.

" You make me nervous" he shouted causing you both to have wide eyes. You looked at him trying to understand the words that just came out of his mouth.

"I make you nervous?" You ask.

"Yes and no one ever makes me nervous. I'm Fred Weasley, prankster, flirt, jokester, king of Gryffindor parties, the hotter twin. But you. You make me so nervous. I don't know where it came from, I swear I wasn't always this way. But the night we pulled the prank and you tripped. I've heard your laugh a million times but something about this time and then you had to go and kiss me. KISS ME. How am I supposed to recover from that" Fred let that all out in one breath. Eyes pinned to the floor, not daring to make eye contact.

" You. Are an idiot." You say causing him to look up at you confused.

"I mean I understand if you don't feel the same way but like I kind of just put myself on the line and I mean yes im an idiot but ouch." He said scratching the back of his neck.

" You are an idiot"

"Yes I heard you the first time" he replied before you could say the next thing.

" Merlin, shut up. You are an idiot. Have you ever noticed how pink my cheeks turn every time you wink at me or give me a hug. Have you noticed how I wipe my palms on my skirt all the time, Nerves. Fred. Nerves. YOU make ME nervous." You say finally able to get that all out.

He looked at you and broke out into his perfect Fred Weasley smile and walked over and cupped your face with his hands. He pulled you in just so your lips were about to touch. You could feel his breath only yours, something about it felt so electrifying, being this close but not completely touching.

" Can I kiss you" Fred breathed out, pulling himself even closer. You didn't even know it was possible to be closer. You could not form words so you simply nodded.

With that Fred put 4 years of friendship in one moment, and kissed you, hard.
