It was like your brain shut off, as you watch Oliver fly in front of you and then all of sudden falling to the ground. You wanted to act, you wanted to shout, you wanted to do something but you felt frozen. It felt like your brain just stopped working.

You two had been playing quidditch together for a while. You started spending more time together when you asked Oliver to help become a better quidditch player. Oliver loved how much you loved quidditch, almost as much as he loved watching you play. That doesn't happen often because typically you two were playing on the same team.

Today, a bunch of the players from all the houses got together to just play a nice game, since the school year was almost over. For the first time in a while you and Oliver were on different teams. Which of course came with a lot of trash talking to each other, most of the time the comments ending in a wink.

You aren't sure what snapped you out of your daze but you were thankful you did. You flew down as fast as you were finally able to speak, " Oliver" you shouted. You began running towards him but felt arms wrap around you and stop you from getting close.

" Hey hey, put me down I need to see him" you shout kicking your legs. You heard George's voice in your ear, " we need to keep space so he can get help. They're going to take him to the infirmary" his voice was calm and it annoyed you. You felt so out of control and chaotic that his calm voice just made you upset, even tho you knew everything he was saying was true.

"But I have to see him" you say, voice cracking as you finally stop kicking and let George set you down. " I know you do, love, we can walk with them" George said as he let go of you. You quickly wiped the tears, not wanting to be crying but you couldn't help it. All you could think about was Oliver falling and him not moving.

As you and George walked to the infirmary, you were solely focused on counting to ten and taking deep breaths. You must have counted to ten like 8 times, it was working tho. You felt like you could breathe again.

" I froze," you whisper, breaking the comfortable silence between you and George as you walk.

George looked at you and kissed the top of your head but didn't say anything. You two had finally made it to the infirmary and George let you walk in without him following.

You walked, feeling numb, until you saw him lying in the cot. You picked up speed and made it over to his side within a few moments.

Thankfully he was awake, definitely in pain but aware. You didn't say anything, you just looked at him. Not wanting to touch him in case he was in more pain than he lead on but wanting to be close

" Hi sweetheart" he said, breaking you out of your internal debate. He reached his hand out for you to take as if he knew you were debating touching him or not.

"I froze" you say, not returning his greeting. You had a frown on your face and your eyes threatened to leak again. You couldn't help it, all you wanted to do was cry and be near him.

"How about you climb in next to me and tell me what you mean by that." He said. He noticed your hesitation so he continued, " it would make me feel better if you could play with hair. could you do that"

You knew he was trying to make it seem like you were helping him, when really he knew you needed to be close to him. You nodded and climbed in as carefully as you could. Let him rest his head on your chest as you gently run your fingers through his hair.

"Want to tell me why you said you froze" he whispered, breaking the silence that you two hd between each other.

" When you got hit, I couldn't think. I couldn't move. I froze. I wanted to help but- but-" your voice cracked and Oliver lifted his head up to grab the hand that was running through his hair to hold it.

"Sweetheart, that's ok. It's more than ok actually. Most people react that way. I still love you, obviously" he said quietly.

" Why did you do it?" You ask, realizing you never asked him.

"Had to be the big protector boyfriend right. I didn't want you to get hit with it" he said with a wink.

You scoffed and laughed, " when did I say I needed protecting?" Raising an eyebrow.

" Oh please, we all know you dont. You could beat me up no problem and any one for that matter. Just let me pretend, ok?" He says making you laugh harder.

"Youre stupid, but I love you" you reply.

" Awe you love me. Youre going to make me blush. say it again." Winking at you.

"Is this the part where I tell you, you are trying too hard" you say jokingly, making him chuckle.

"Say it again"

You roll your eyes, " I love you"

"Mmm again"

" I love you"

"One more time"

" I love you"

" Say it with my name"

" Oliver Wood I am madly in love with you, now say it back"

" I am overwhelmingly, all consuming, in love with you"
