I loved you since I met you, but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today

Teddy was extremely confused for the rest of dinner. Why hadn't James told him he was gay? Weren't they best friends? Best friends didn't keep secrets, right? Well, he couldn't exactly talk, what with him telling James about his and Victoire's relationship at the same time he told the family, even though he and Victoire had been together for a week before that. But still, did James not trust him? Or was it something else?
Teddy looked at his plate and pushed the food around, not hungry anymore.
Mrs.Weasley saw him pushing his food around and frowned at him.
"Teddy, dear, you should eat more. You're so thin."
Teddy looked up.
"Oh, no, Grandma Weasley, I'm just not that hungry."
"But dear..."
"It's fine, Grandma Weasley."
Everyone was watching the exchange except Victoire, who was pointedly looking at her food with an almost fixated interest.
"Can I be excused? I'm not that hungry." Teddy waited for Mrs.Weasley to nod before pushing his chair out from the table and walked out of the dining room, making his way to the stairs that led to his room. Well, his and James' room. He barely looked up as Harry and James passed by him, chatting softly as they went. Teddy sighed as he closed the bedroom door behind him and collapsed onto his bed. He closed his eyes, trying not to scream in frustration.
Opening his eyes, he looked around the room. James's things were scattered all over the floor. His quidditch quaffle that George had given him for his birthday was laying on James's bed. Teddy didn't realize he was smiling affectionately at the way James kept the thing on his bed all the time because he was afraid he'd lose it if he didn't.
Teddy blinked. Why was he thinking about this? His mind was so muddled.
He closed his eyes, wanting to sleep off the frustration. But the dream he had made everything more confusing.
He was standing under the tree by the Black Lake, the beautiful willow tree James and he used to sit and talk under. It was snowing, the snow layered the ground, and sparkled in the setting sun.
"Teddy!"
He spun around, seeing James running towards him with a big grin on his face.
"James." Teddy breathed out his name.
James seemed to glow under the dying rays of light, like the snow under his feet.
"Hey, I've been looking for you for an hour. You know, it's not good to be out in the snow when you're only wearing your school robes. You'll catch a cold, as Grandma Weasley says. Not that I listen to her that much, but still. Don't want you sneezing all over me." James was rambling.
Teddy smiled affectionately.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" James noticed Teddy watching him. Teddy shook his head.
"You know, the stars are much brighter in the winter than they are in the summer?" James looked up at the sky.
Teddy didn't know what he was doing. All he focused on was how beautiful James looked under the stars.
"I think I..."
Teddy woke up with a start. He looked around the bedroom, which was still empty. He let out a breath and ran a hand through his hair agitatedly.
He had feelings for James.
