Eternity// F.W

X. You Do?

~Flashback~
December 1991
Fred's POV
"Thea please"
"No go away" shouted an angry little voice through a door
"Let me in"
"No, you've hurt me"
"I wasn't trying to, please" "I have pie?"
Suddenly the door open, and there it was a small little girl with tears in her eyes, she looked up to me and hugged me, it wasn't until then when I realize how small she was, I've also grown more over the summer break.
We fought because I told her that I wouldn't be doing the charms project with her, she asked why and I told her as a joke she wasn't good at charms and that wouldn't get a good mark on the assignment if I did it with her, which was a dumb thing to say because she is really good at charms.
"What do you mean when you said you weren't trying to hurt me?"
"I was joking"
"It didn't sound like it"
"I promise I wasn't trying to hurt you," I said stroking her hair
"You do?"
"I do"
She pulled away from the hug and looked at me
"Where's the pie?"
I laughed and handed her the plate with pie.
~End of Flashback~
Fred's POV
I've set everything up during lunch break, so I just needed to wait for Melissa to bring Thea over, It might be hard to believe all of this is just for an apology, but Thea is one of the most important people for me and I would do anything to make her forgive me, I'm still not sure if she will, and she is in all her will not to forgive me, I deserve to not be forgiven I treated someone so precious for me like rubbish.
I was looking out at the view while I waited for her to come, I never shared the same point of view of the world as Thea, she saw it as a really colourful and beautiful world, she always been like that, whenever we lost her she would always be up in the astronomy tower looking out and admiring the world in front of her, I finally understood her today, it was like she was in my mind.
I heard footsteps going up the stairs and I got up right away, I felt really dizzy and as though my stomach was doing backflips, all my worries came up my mind as soon as I heard Thea's voice, I haven't been so anxious until now, and a wave of reality hit me like a Firebolt going at 150 miles per hour.
Theas POV
Fred was there, his ginger hair perfectly shone with the sun, his face filled with freckles and his eyes lit up at the sight of me, I couldn't help but smile, just at the sight of him, my feelings towards him had slowly increased over the time just because I didn't get to see him, I felt some tears escape my eyes when he got closer, I didn't hesitate to hug him when we split up I said,
"I sorry"
"For what?" I should be the one apologising, not you"
There was a silent pause where we both were just looking at each other, I forgot how just seeing him made my heart flutter and how his touch sent shivers down my spine.
"I've got something for you" "Actually a few things"
He took a wrinkled piece of parchment out of his pocket and handed it to me
"I wrote you a letter" "It's a little bit messy, but it says everything"
"Could you read it?" I asked knowing I was going to cry
"Yeah of course"

~Letter~
Dear Thea,
I am terribly sorry, I let my feelings get in the way of our friendship, I was scared, I didn't want Kenneth near you, I was afraid he might hurt you, but instead I did, I am ashamed of my actions and how poorly I treated you, and I fully understand if you wish to not forgive me. But I need to apologise, I need to try at least. I won't lie and tell you I'll be fine if you don't forgive me because I won't be fine, I most likely be miserable. But I can't live with fact that I didn't apologise, that I didn't try hard enough to fix my mistakes, it's the least I can do.
I know jealousy is bad, but I couldn't control my feelings and life's too short to get mad at someone when it's not even their fault, especially if it someone you love and care about, and Thea you are my best friend, I seriously can't imagine my life without you.
These past few weeks have been hard for me, and I think for you too, It's killing me not being able to talk to you, not even see you, and when I did you looked so sad that it killed me because I knew it was my fault, I am so so sorry, you know I would never do it, at least not intentionally because I care about you Thea. You make me a better person, you make George a better person and I cant live with the fact that because of my feelings I ruined our friendship because it also includes him.
So Thea would you please forgive me?
Love,
Fred
~End of the Letter~
End POV
Once Fred finished the letter both of them had tears in their eyes, Thea never realized how much their friendship meant until that moment, he did all of that just to apologise thinking he may not even be forgiven, but he still gave it a try, he put on the effort which made Thea notice just how much they needed each other.
Thea hugged him straight away, and for the first time in a while, she didn't feel alone, because Fred was there, her Freddie.
Fred's POV
Seeing thea again made my heart warm, she was so beautiful, even though she didn't look like her usual self, neither did I. We were both looking terrible, I never thought that I needed her so much nor that she needed me.
I read the letter to her after she tried to apologise for my mistakes, which made me feel even worse because she felt like she did something wrong when she absolutely didn't. I was scared of what she would say, and I tried my best to write her a well-deserved letter, once I finished reading I had some tears coming out, and I noticed thea had some too.
she stepped closer and hugged me again, but this time she didn't let go, it was like she needed that hug to continue living, and so did I, her breaths were slowing down but I still felt her tears on my shirt, I didn't mind though, I knew then and there that Thea was the one for me, even if we aren't together, I want us to be.
Thea's POV
I would have forgiven Fred even if he just said hello, I needed to feel safe again, the letter he wrote was one of the most beautiful letters he has ever written to me, he really tried his best, and I appreciated it, I needed to hug him, I was craving his touch, even if it's just as friends, his safety and his sent set my heart on fire, and I didn't want to let go, but I had to answer his question.
"Fred?"
"Angel?"
I felt a million butterflies go through my stomach at the same time
"I do"
"You do?"
"Yes, I forgive you"
"You do!?"
"Yes, and"
"And?"
"You shouldn't be jealous, you'll always be my best friend"
"Right," he said sounding sad
Did he sound disappointed, does he want to be more than best friends?Could there be a possibility? Could I have a chance?
"Alright I have something for you," he said
"Really"
"Yes now close your eyes please"
"It's not a firecracker right"
"It would be really dumb to do such a thing right after you've forgiven me"
"Someone has a brain"
"Close your eyes"
"Fine" once I closed them I heard Fred moving around and a small thump hit the ground
"You can open them up now," he said getting close to me
Upfront there was a beautiful setup, there was ice cream and apple pie even some cauldron cakes and chocolate frogs
"Fred you didn't have to do all this"
"Yes I did"  "Now come"
"You know this is better than my date with Kenneth"
"How come he said he did something special"
"Special my ass, he made some poor first years do all the work and brought fire whiskey icecream"
"Arsecrap"
"Yup, besides I don't like that ice cream, he also talked about himself the whole evening"
"again as arsecrap"  "I really don't understand why you accepted"
"I told you it was the only way he would leave me alone"   "Besides he got bored of me"
"who would get bored of you"
"Oh shut up"
"Make me"
"Don't test me, Weasley"
"uh-huh"
"That's it " I stood up and threw some ice cream upon his face
"Hey," he said
"You started it," I said sticking my tongue out
We started a fight but as soon as the ice cream was over Fred went over the pie
"Don't you dare touch the pie"
"Or what?"
"Just don't"
"Or what?"
"Don't"
He got closer and we were just a few inches apart, both of our breaths were slowing down and we were staring deeply at each other, analyzing our features, I looked up to his eyes and then down to his lips, I had such a desire to kiss them, they looked soft and plump, it was like my life depended to kiss him.
Fred's POV
I looked at Thea's eyes, we were so close all I wanted to do was kiss her, she looked gorgeous, the sun was setting and specks of light went through her face, she looked like an angel and I probably looked dumb, I swear if my mouth were to be open I would drool, she mesmerized me, we slowly looked at each other, and then I just smiled at her, she looked up to my eyes and then down on my mouth, was she going to kiss me? maybe I just have something on my face, we stayed there in silence for a little while before we both started getting close, the closer we got the faster my heart went, I've imagined this moment in my head before, but now it just feels different, like it is meant to be. I could feel her breath getting nearer and I could smell her getting closer, her perfume so nice and her shampoo that smelled so fresh, we were so close now I hoped she doesn't feel my heartbeat.
