Ugh, why does my stupid body do this to me?! I don't want to get up right now. What if I wake someone up? Then I would feel really bad..
Ugh but I have to pee! Real bad too! And it doesn't help that I drank a ton before I went to bed. Maybe I can just go back to sleep...
I watch the snow outside fall to the ground hoping it will help me fall back asleep. It all calm outside. And there's only a few more days till school starts up again.
Nope! I need to pee! I don't even care anymore I'm going to the bathroom! I kick the sheets off me and run to the door. I pull it open and quietly run down the stairs.
I trip over a stair and face plant onto the floor. I feel a burning pain run through my nose. Gosh dang these steps. I push myself Back up and tip toe over to the bathroom door. And slip inside.

After I am done releasing my liquids I was my hands at the sink and dry them on a towel hanging from the towel rack.
I quietly pull the door open to see Fred leaning in the doorway.
"You know you suck at being quiet." He says.
"Shut up. You're not too quiet yourself."
"I heard you fall."
"Oh good for you."
He puts a finger to my mouth,"-shut up. Just listen. Okay? Okay. And- ohp, your nose is bleeding."
"It is? Still? But it's been a few minutes-"
"Here- no don't use your hands! Let me get it!"
He says grabbing a tissue and dabbing at the blood.
"You did sound as though you fell pretty hard, I wouldn't be surprised if you broke it."
"I broke my nose?!"
"No stop. Don't assume anything yet. It's too dark to tell. Grab that tissue box and let's go back to your room."
I do as he says and grad the box and follow him back up stairs.
"Sit." He says pointing the the bed
"Okay now Im going to look at your nose with this light. Try not to move."
He holds his glowing wand to my face and begins to examine it. I get a little uncomfortable with him looking so closely at my face like that.
"Well um...good news and bad news." He says,"which do you want first?"
"Bad."
"Okay, well your nose is Kinda just a little bit...broken."
"Then what's the good news?!"
"Good news is I might be able to fix it."
"Might?!"
"Hold still I got this." He says holding his wand to my nose.
"Just, brace yourself." He then mutters a spell under his breath.
I feel and hear a great *crack* and force myself not to make a sound still not wanting to wake the others.
"Holy crap Fred...that hurt like a pineapple..."
"Do pineapples hurt..?"
"I have no idea!" I laugh, throwing my arms around him.
We fall backwards onto the bed and lay there holding each other in each other's arms.
"I'm sorry I probably got blood on you." I apologize.
"Nah, it's alright. I know you didn't mean to. It was an accident. So it's all good."
"Are you sure? If you let me I can try to go wash it out-"
"No no, it's alright love, it'll wash out. Plus I just want to lay here with you."
My heart skips a beat. He's so cute he makes me want to do something crazy.
"Alright, if you insist."
"Thank you."
I raise my head and look him in the eyes, even though it's dark I can still make out the colors.
"Why are you saying thank you?" I ask him.
"You fixed MY nose I should be thanking you..."
He pulls my closer to him probably for warmth.
"That's not why I was saying thanks. I'm happy you're letting me stay here with you. It's just you and me. Alone, together, and it's quiet."
"Yeah, I guess it is hard to find some quiet time with you isn't it?" I joke.
I feel him rub my back with one hand while he uses the other to pull hair from my face.
"Yeah, I guess I deserve that one."
I laugh and put my head to his chest, beginning to get a little sleepy again.
"If my mom knew I were with you, like this right now...man I would be so dead."
"Who said your mom had to find out?"
He asks. It's then when I realize that he isn't planning on letting anyone know about what had happened. Not even George.
"You're the best."
"Hey, what can I say? It's in my genes."
"No I wouldn't say that..." I argue.
"Why not? Im pretty cool aren't I?"
"You are. But some of your other family members are debatable."
"Like who?"
"Mostly Percy."
"Oh well you're right on that one"
"When will you believe me Weasley? Im almost always right."
"Oh you Ravenclaws, always have to let people know exactly what's on your mind."
"Well at least my heads not full of hot air."
"Wouch! I felt that one! Right in my heart."
I reach up and give him a peck on the cheek.
"You are everything I feel right in my heart."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It was supposed to be cute you punk, until you ruined it!" I say a big embarrassed he didn't get it at first.
" I know I know, I'm only messing with you."
"I should've guessed."
"Woah now... Im not always joking around."
I raise an eyebrow at him as if to ask him for one time he's been completely serious.
"Oh alright fine! 80% of the time-"
*fake cough*
"...90% of the time! I am joking around. But that doesn't mean I cannot be serious."
I pull back to tease him just a bit. I know he can't stand not holding me at times like these.
"Alright, then be serious right now."
"Wait how am I supposed to be-"
"Quick, what color are my eyes?"
"What kind of question is this? (E/c)!"
"What is my favorite color?"
"That's easy, (f/c)."
"What's my favorite food?"
"Um...I believe it's (f/f)
I place my hand under his hat making him shiver, he wasn't expecting that.
"Now Fred, do you love me?"
"What kind of- yes! Of course I love you!"
"Do you really love me? Or do you love the idea of me?"
He props himself up into an elbow and stares at me.
"Listen up, I do not love you, not do I love the idea of you. Those are both stupid questions. I am in love with you. And that's more said than the other two options."
"Good answer."
"Aaaanndddd...?"
"I am in love with you too."
"Awe you're so sweet!" He says super loudly.
"Shshshshshhshh!! You're going to wake people up!!!"
Once again he pulls me in closer holding me to his chest.
"Oh let them hear. I don't care."
"You don't? Well I DO!" I whisper.
"Why is that? They all know about you and me. How we're together."
"Mhm...but they don't know how we're together in this bed."
"Meh. They will figure it out eventually."
"How bout no?"
"Alright fine. I'll only tell George."
"I will bite you."
"Oh jeez! I will maybe tell George. That better?"
"Slightly."
"That's better than nothing!!"
I let out a small laugh as I start to fall asleep.
I feel so much calmer now as I drift off...

~Fred's POV~

I still lay there as she falls asleep. Well at least I think she fell asleep. She's holding really still. I don't want to just go back to my room.
If I move I might wake her...
"Hey (y/n) you awake?"
No answer. She's asleep.
I guess it won't cause too much harm if I just stay here with her. I'll explain to her in the morning why I'm still here.
But most likely she probably just won't ask. That's something I love about her. She just puts up with my randomness. Even when I do tend to go a little over board.
