You and Me (Fred X Sirius Black's Daughter)

Chapter 21 - You First

3rd Person POV.

Fred sneaks in Malia's window. "Hey, you wanna go to the lake? Have ourselves a little date?"

"Sorry babe, I gotta study." Malia replies.

"What, why? There's no quizzes or tests." Fred says, remembering Malia's schedule.

Malia shakes her head, "No test, I just want to kick Phillips's butt in this, then we can makeout all day every day."

"Sure, I'll stay here till you're bored of studying." Fred nods, laying on her bed. After a while of studying. "Are you bored yet?" Fred asks after five minutes.

"Freddie." Malia sighs.

"Come on babe." he sighs.

"Give me one hour. I promise." Malia smiles. Malia getd back to studying.

Time went by and eventually a couple of hours go by. Malia stretches and stands up. "Okay, let's hang out." Malia smiles. She turns around to the bed and Fred is asleep.

Malia smiles and walks up to the bed covering Fred with the blanket. She then crawls up next to him underneath the blanket and cuddles up to him. She then rests her head on his chest. "I love you." he says softly.

"What?" Malia whispers. Fred continues to sleep as if he never said anything. "Fred.... Freddie." Malia says, shaking him slightly. Did he just say he loved her in his sleep?

The Next Day

Malia sits at the fountain reviewing her study notes. Ryan really taught her well. Ever since he taught her how to do notes, footnotes and study techniques she's been a quite remarkable student. 

Fred walks over to her and lays down on her lap, "Hey Freddie." Malia smiles.

"I'm starting to miss you." Fred pouts.

"We were together yesterday." Malia reminds.

"You were studying." Fred complains.

"By the way, do you remember saying anything?" Malia asks.

"Saying what?" Fred asks.

"I don't know.... like .... Never mind." Malia says, looking back at her note.s

"No, tell me." Fred smiles, sitting up.

"That... you love me." Malia says, still not looking him in the eye.

"You love me?" Fred says, not being able to hear what she said.

"No. I mean yes... I mean ... maybe." Malia says.

"Oh... okay." Fred replies.

"We just... we just started our relationship. We wanted to take it slow. And I know we both... said that already prior to starting the relationship, but you never said it again since so... I wasn't sure." she explains.

"Why don't you say it then?"

".... No. You say it first." Malia says, annoyed.

"No. You." Fred says childly.

"You've already said it." 

"Doesn't count. I wasn't awake." Fred adds.

"So, you admit to saying it then?" Malia asks.

"Sure, but I'm not saying it again until you do."

"Fine."

"Fine."

Evelyn walks up to them. "Mum, what are you doing here?" Malia asks.

"I'm here to talk to your Professors about jobs as a Healer. Apparently, you guys have more than just a few Quidditch injuries. Come on, I'll have lunch with you and Lucas." she insists.
