A Soulmate's Love

Chapter 52 - Brotherly boundaries

"Let me go in first," I whispered to Fred who was evidently nervous at confronting his twin; Rightfully so, but still, I didn't think I'd ever see the day. 

"You know what Raven maybe we should try this tomorrow." He uttered as he began pacing.

"Relax. George is harmless." I chuckled, not understanding why he was shitting his pants. 

"HARMLESS?" He whisper screamed as his eyebrows shot to the sky, "You're bloody joking, aren't you?" He huffed nervously, "George is far from harmless Theia..." He ran a hand through his flaming hair as I just stood and waited for him to calm down.

"He wouldn't hurt a fly!" I argued, thinking back to the boy who begs me to read Nicholas Sparks books and fiddles with my fingers. "Compared to you, George is anything but dangerous."

"Are you fucking serious?!" He exclaimed this time as he looked like he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, "Oh no, no, no... He's the worst of us all!" His voice must've gone up a few octaves as he continued pacing up and down the hall.

"Oh shut it." I said nonchalantly, "You're just being dramatic. I'll go talk to him." And with that, I left Fred to pull his hair out in the hallway.

I walked into my dorm and my eyes made their way to a reading George on my bed. I stayed at the doorway for a few moments, taking the time to admire his sharp, Greek God-like features, all the while thinking of how lucky I am to have gotten a guy like him. And I know I'm not a lovey-dovey person, nor do I demonstrate any love I have in the clearest of ways, but god, did I love him. 

I quietly walked over to him, and just as I approached him his hands suddenly shot out towards me and in an instant, I was buried into his chest, my body instinctively going to wrap itself around his warmth. "How did you know I was here?" I asked as it was impossible for him to see me from where I had been coming from. 

"I'll always know darling." He cooed as he placed a kiss on my forehead, wrapping his arms tighter around me and breathing deeply. He was so incredibly calm it amazed me, why couldn't I ever be so restful? 

Talking with Fred tonight however only proved to me one thing, and although I subconsciously knew it all along, one thing I knew to be true; George made me feel safe. Here, in the arms he would always wrap around me, against the warmth that I didn't know how badly I needed, with the love I never thought I deserved, I was happy. I never wanted to leave. With all the shit that's happened, George has remained the sole constant, and I couldn't imagine living without him. "What are you thinking of love?" He whispered from above me, and I couldn't help the smile that had etched its way onto my face. If only he knew.

I looked up at him as adoration filled my brown eyes, "I love you, George Fabian Weasley." I spoke with no hesitation, the words being the only ones I knew how to express to him. I always had that problem where I simply couldn't speak my thoughts; They either had to be written or kept to myself. But for some reason, I love you seemed like the perfect translation.

A grin broke out on his face as he watched me with love and curiosity; Maybe because such random proclamations were something he wasn't used to, or because he had forgotten the truth of such a phrase.

George's Perspective

"I love you, George Fabian Weasley." The sentence rolled off of her tongue like honey, pooling in her scintillating eyes that were lovingly staring into mine. She did it again. She managed to make me fall in love with her all over again. I remained speechless - Seconds ago she was deep in thought, and I had gone through the link in an attempt to understand, but what I felt wasn't sadness. The feeling was utterly inexplicable. It made my heart warm and my eyes soften, and such a feeling elicited by her was all I ever wanted. Although I didn't know what it was about, knowing she did was enough. For some reason, I wanted time to freeze. To have a fraction of an extra second where the world around us stopped, and I could just marvel at her beauty for another moment.
