Morning came. Hermione slightly opened her eyes and stretched her arms, but she couldn't move. Something heavy was wrapped around her body. She was panicking like never before but when she heard a soft, husky moan just beside her ear, she slowly opened her eyes and looked beside her. She found Ron next to her, hugging her tightly, and their faces were an inch apart. Her panicking subsided as Ron's angelic but manly face registered on her eyes. She gently touched his face, his nose, his cheeks, and the side of his lips. 'If he catches me looking at him, he'll think that I planned all this so...' by that, Hermione cuddled on Ron's broad chest. 'so, when he finds me asleep, he'll think I'm innocent.'. Hermione laughed at that thought. She felt secured and warm. She really wanted to be like that with Ron again. She slowly closed her eyes and after a minute, she fell asleep.
Ron opened his eyes and someone was cuddling him. He thought it was Rose, but he found Hermione there, silently sleeping like a little girl. He pushed some strands of hair off her forehead. 'Rose, Rose planned this. Thanks to her.' Ron smiled as he heard Hermione whispered his name. He thought she was awake, but she's still asleep. 'So, she's dreaming of me, huh?'... He pulled Hermione closer to him, but she suddenly opened her eyes. 'Ugh, busted!' Ron thought Hermione will hit her and punch him but she just smiled and greeted him 'Good morning'. Hermione smiled to him and he smiled back.
"Good morning too, Mione." Ron greeted her.
A silence filled the whole room. They were just staring at each other's eyes. It seemed like the time suddenly stopped. 'If ever we could stay like this forever', Hermione felt her heart beating faster and faster. She knew she doesn't want any other guy. Ron is already enough.
Ron couldn't take his eyes off Hermione's. He never thought that will happen again to them. With Hermione in his arms while cuddling him, he could never ask for more. She's the one he ever wanted. She was his very first love, and he doesn't really know why she can still make his heart skip a beat with just doing simple and little things.
"Ron..." Hermione's voice pulled him out of his daydreaming.
"Yes?" Ron hugged her more tightly, making her smile big time.
"How's Aunt Molly?" Hermione put her head on Ron's chest; she really liked leaning on his chest because she can feel his warmth and she can hear his heartbeat.
"Hmm... She's fine. Sometimes I feel like she doesn't get old." Ron laughed, making Hermione look at him and laugh too.
"I miss them, Ron." Hermione pouted her lips and looked at Ron's soul. Ron chuckled softly and reached for her cheeks. He pinched it gently and Hermione giggled.
"Aww, you're really cute Hermione!" Ron chuckled and Hermione hit his chest lightly. "...okay we'll go to their house. I know she'll be surprised."
Hermione suddenly reached for Ron's waist. Ron thought Hermione will hug him, but no. She tickled him. Ron flinched from his position and Hermione laughed at his reaction.
"You silly girl! Come here!" Hermione stood up quickly and ran around the room. Ron stood up too, ready to catch Hermione.
"Come here, Mione. You've started it." Ron's lips formed a playful smile. Hermione distanced herself from Ron and shouted, "No Ron! I will never tickle you, ever again!".
With that, Ron stood up and ran quickly to where Hermione was. Hermione ran away from him.
"You'll never catch me -- Ouch!" A loud sound filled the room. Ron found Hermione sitting on the floor.
"What happened?" Ron asked her while helping her stand up.
"I slipped." Hermione sat on the bed. Ron sat beside her and just looked at her.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Hermione furrowed her brows then distanced herself again. "Wait -- no -- Ron!" Ron started to move towards her. "Ron! No, don't -- "
She didn't finish what she was going to say because Ron started to tickle her. Hermione unwillingly laid on the bed. She squealed really loud. Her eyes were watery but she's laughing.
"Ron! Ugh! Ple -- please stop -- aah!" Hermione did everything to be free from Ron's arms, but she simply can't. They rolled around the bed for several times when suddenly, Ron stopped. He was on top of Hermione. Hermione's tears of joy were flowing from the side of her eyes and Ron wiped it off her face. He looked at Hermione and smiled.
"I missed this."
"Me too."
Their faces were an inch apart. Hermione saw Ron's face coming nearer and nearer hers, about to kiss her. 'Oh gosh, what will I do?' Hermione thought. 'Okay, I'll let him kiss me.' She closed her eyes, waiting for Ron's lips to brush on hers, but she felt his lips on her forehead. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. 'Damn it.' She just smiled at him, trying to hide her irritation.
"Come on, we're going to mom." Ron stood up. Hermione sat up and her face was delighted.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yes." He winked at her and seconds after, he was out of her sight.
