Fred's pov
It's so daunting. Always being a people pleaser, always cracking jokes. I've learned to suppress my problems now, people always expect smiling and happy Fred, leading me to believe I could never do anything else. She saw right through me though, always has, always will, and I love it. Not that is ever admit it to her.Y/N, perfect, flawless, amazing.
I could go on and on, honestly. She's always there for me, ready waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces when I have a bad day.
And I was having a bad day.
I took the dormitory owl, scribbling a quick note and attaching it to his leg, sending it through the now open window to her dorm. I sat back on my bed, awaiting their reply.
Y/N's pov
I was sitting on my bed reading when I heard the soft tap tap of an owl on my bedroom window. Getting up, I recognised it to be Fred and George's owl, they must need my help-probably to get out of detention.I opened the window and the owl flew in, rather ungracefully I might add, landing on the desk in the corner of the room. He held his leg out expectantly and when I had taken off the parchment, did not move, it's obviously been told not to come back without a reply... The note was brief, only one or two lines long.
Having a bad day, can you help, please. Our place, 10 mins? x Freddie
Smiling to myself, I instantly scribbled yes on the paper, sending it back with the owl, waiting until it got through the window, again rather gracelessly. When it had gone, I began packing the things I would need to make Fred feel better.

Third pov
Fred stood at the top of the astronomy tower, having taken their blankets and pillows from their hiding spaces. The pair had spent countless hours in this place, talking about nothing and everything at once.It was here Fred had met her during their second year of Hogwarts, when his and George's reputations as troublemakers had been made known and he first realised the strain of being known as the resident prankster of Hogwarts.
It was here that he had spilled his darkest secrets to her, and had done multiple times. She had become his best friend and confidant within a matter of weeks. Since they had first met on the tower, they had been inseparable, relying on each other to always be there.
It was here that he had realised he was in love with she, how anyone couldn't be was an impossible idea to him. She was perfect. Her personality was the best, her figure flawless and her laugh was infectious. Many people had wanted to date her, and Fred would be lying if he said he didn't care. Of course he held onto the fantasy of her returning his feelings, but that was all it was, a fantasy.
Before he could dwell too long on his dark thoughts, the sound of the astronomy tower door closing, and footfalls coming up the stairs, he was snapped out of his reverie and back into reality.
"Hey, I got your owl, you good?" She sat down next to him, a little closer then friends normally sit.
"Hi, not really" he whispered back in a small voice.
"Well then, you gonna tell me what's up?" She matched his tone.
"It's just the usual, really..."
She sighed. "Freddie, when are you going to stop putting yourself down like this, you're human, you can't be happy all the time. If people expect that, they're being dumb, life isn't perfect and things happen."Blunt but true. Wish I had that confidence. Fred thought.
"Not everyone is like you, Y/N, not everyone has your confidence or your self-esteem"
She laughed at this, "Freddie, even if I have 'confidence' or 'self-esteem'--"
"Which you do."
"Okay, even with my confidence and self-esteem, I have bad days, because I'm human. I'm not happy all the time, in fact I think life would be boring if I was, so don't beat yourself up for having a bad day. Everyone gets them."
" Thanks Y/N. This is why I love you." Oh shi--
"You what?"
"I-I I didn't mean to say that, just ignore it, I didn't happen, what were we talking about?"
"FRED! Stop!"
"Yes?"
"Did you mean it?"
"Erm... I-I"
" Did you mean it? Do you love me?"
Can't back out not Fred, go for it! "Yes."
"Well good, because I love you."
"You do?"
"Yes! Why would I say it if I didn't!"
"I don't know, pity? I mean I'm--"
"Shut up and kiss me!"
"Okay."And he did.
