Chapter 4- Pressure

"George?"
His sly smirk grew into a grin as your eyes met.
"I knew it." He laughed, walking towards you. You stood up, quickly rushing over to him.
"George please. You can't tell anyone.. especially not Ron." You say frantically, trying to collect yourself.
"Of course not. But it's a good thing I know. I can help you now." He reassures you, giving you a quick hug. You relax into him, feeling a wave of relief wash over knowing that your secret was safe. You look up at him and smile weakly.
"I think I'm gonna go to sleep now, it's getting late." You yawn, checking the time.
"Alright. I'll tell everyone that you got tired and headed up to bed. Goodnight y/n!"
"Night George."

You head back up to your dorm, mind still racing. You flop down on your bed, laying flat on your back. I can't believe I just did that. I just openly admitted my feelings to George. And worse, I nearly risked Ron hearing. If he's going to find out, I want it to be from me. Not from a truth potion, not from a rumor, not from a dare, I want him to hear it from me. If only it were easier to figure out how Ron were feeling then maybe I could- Your thoughts are interrupted by a soft knock on the door. You sit up, rubbing your already sleepy eyes.
"Yes?"
"Y/n it's me." Ron calls from the other side of the door. Your heart seems to speed up almost instantly. Oh no. Had George told him already? You slowly stand up and walk to the door, dreading it. As you pull the door open, Ron stands there, leaning his shoulder on the doorframe. He gives you a soft smile.
"I'm here to get my clothes back?" He says.
You look down at yourself, seeing the loose pants and oversized sweatshirt that Ron had given you to wear. You let out a sigh of relief and smile.
"Right. Of course." You say, walking back into the dorm with Ron a few steps behind. He closes the door, turning back to face you. You turn to grab some pajamas, picking up a pair of shorts and a graphic t shirt.
As you turn back around, Ron begins pulling off the small white tank top, revealing his toned chest and abs. Your eyes fall to meet his muscular arms and built torso, your mouth practically watering at the sight.

"My eyes are up here darling." He says in a low voice.

You look back up, wiping the longing look off your face. Your heart seemed to flutter as you locked eyes, feeling the blood rush to your face in obvious embarrassment. A smirk spreads over his lips, looking down at you smugly as he moves closer to you.
He stands now only inches away, running his hand up and onto your cheek. He runs the tips of his fingers gently down your jaw and onto your chin, tilting your face up to meet his. Your eyes meet, feeling butterflies in your stomach as your hands move to rest on his chest.
His skin is soft as you run your hands over it. His face is now even closer to yours as his hands run into your h/c hair. You close your eyes, feeling his breath on your face.

Just then, Fred and George come bursting into the room.
"Hey y/n! George just told me about-" They pause in their tracks, seeing the two of you standing obviously close to each other. They look back and fourth between the two of you for a moment. You jump away instantly, both turning a deep red. The twins look at each other before backing towards the door.
"Sorry. Pretend you didn't even see us." George starts.
"Yeah. Please feel free to... resume." Fred snickers as they saunter out the door.
You turn to look at Ron, who looks just as flustered as you are.
"I- uh.." He mumbles. "I should get to bed. It's late."
"Yeah alright." You say, looking down at your feet.
He turns to leave placing the tank top on your dresser.
"Ron wait."
He turns back with hope in his eyes, looking at you with what seems to be purely longing.
"What is it?"
"Don't you want your clothes back?" You ask. He stares at you blankly for a few seconds.
"Yeah. I- Uh.. Yeah I'll take them back I guess." He murmurs. You go into the bathroom, caging quickly into pajamas and folding up his clothes. You walk back out and hand him the stack, as he pulls on his t shirt.
"Thanks. Goodnight y/n."
"Goodnight Ron." You say with a small smile, your heart still racing from the moment before.
As the door shuts behind him, you flop back on your bed. Your in near disbelief of what just happened.. or almost happened. You climb under the covers of your small dorm bed, flicking off the lights. You almost immediately fall into a deep sleep, still feeling blissful from the events of the night.

***
You awake in a panicked sweat. You sit up in the dark room, squinting to see anything through the pitch black night.
You manage to see Hermione and Ginny fast asleep in their beds looking peaceful as ever. Your heart was still beating a million miles per minute. You have always had terrible nightmares when you had a lot on your mind.
You stand up and walk into the hallway, going over to the boys dorms. You're about to knock on Ron's door when the memories of the night come flooding back.
Knowing that asking him for help in the middle of the night after that most likely wouldn't be a great idea, you turn and walk back the other way.
As you're walking back, a light catches your eye from under the twins door. You walk up knocking quietly. The door pushes in as you know and you peek your head inside.
"y/n? what's going on are you okay?" He says in a concerned tone.
"Yeah I'm good. Just a bad dream." You say softly. You look around the room for a minute before spotting the empty beds.
"Wheres Fred?"
"Got a date. He want out and never came back."  He chuckles.
"Ah. Classic." You state. Your eyelids start to feel heavy as you yawn into your hand sleepily. George leads you over to his bed where he tucks you in, dimming the lights. He strokes your hair gently, smiling down at you. You close your eyes as you relax into the soft mattress, feeling more than safe with George. He's always been close with you, and always been there to take care of you if you needed it. As you drift back to sleep, George lightly hums a song that he would hum to you and Ron when you were younger and had bad dreams. It put you right back to sleep, but this time for the whole night.
