I Dare You

Chapter 3

For the rest of the day, they saw a movie, and they went back to Ron's to watch Harry's favorite movie. 

Halfway through the movie, Harry sat really close to Ron. "It's cold." 

"Do you want me to cast a heating charm?" Ron asked. 

"No." Harry pushed Ron so his back was leaning on the armrest. He crawled into his lap and laid down. 

Ron shrugged. He wrapped his arms around him. Harry snuggled into his chest. They both smiled and watched the movie. 

After the movie, Ron tried to get up. Harry wouldn't get off of him.

"Harry, please get off." He looked at Harry's face. He was asleep.

Ron left his wand on the end table, so he couldn't reach it. He didn't know any wandless magic. 

Ron looked at Harry's face again. He pulled off his glasses. Ron smiled. He looked so peaceful.

Ron closed his eyes, falling asleep too. 

Harry woke up. He rubbed his eyes and grabbed his glasses from the end table. He looked at the clock. 

10:30 pm

"FUCK!" Harry yelled. He jumped off of Ron. 

"Harry, what?" Ron said groggily. 

"I need to go back home." Harry grabbed his wand and phone and ran out.

*Trigger warning* Violence!

Harry ran back to the house. He opened the door slowly. He entered the living room. Ginny was sitting on the couch, a bottle of firewhiskey in her hand. She spun her head around. Tears were in her eyes. 

"You... you..." She muttered. She stood up, almost falling over. "You! YOU!" She pounced on Harry. She grabbed the collar of his shirt and slammed the back of his head on the floor. 

"Where *slam* the *slam* fuck *slam* were *slam* you!? *slam*" She screamed. 

He started to cry. "I-I w-w-was at R-Ron's p-p-place..." 

"Oh really!" Ginny got off of him and got out her phone. Harry sat up and curled into a ball. Ginny called Ron. She put it on speaker. 

"Hello?" Ron answered. 

"Was Harry with you?!" Ginny yelled.

"Yes. We got food with Neville in the morning, and then Harry and I saw a movie. We went back to my place to watch more movies. We accidentally fell asleep, which is why he was home late." Ron answered thoroughly. 

Ginny huffed. She hung up on him and called Neville. 

"Hey Ginny! How are you?" Neville greeted.

"Did Ron and *hic* Harry meet up with you this morning?" She asked.

"Yes, they did. Are you doing ok-"

Ginny hung up on him. She turned to Harry.

"Look at me, pussy." She demanded. Harry slowly lifted his head. "I believe them. They don't lie to me like you do. Sleep on the couch. If you leave, I'll find you and..." She glared at him. She left the room; she didn't finish her sentence.

Harry tightened his grip on his knees. After what seemed like hours, he was calm. He crawled towards the couch and laid on it. He got out his phone.

He texted Ron. "Pick me up at my house tomorrow."

He texted back. "Okay. Stay safe."

"Thanks. I love you." Harry was confused. His heart was beating fast and butterflies were in his stomach. Why was he nervous? It's not like he hasn't told Ron he loves him. They were best mates.

"I love you too <3"

Harry's golden face turned red. He gripped his phone tighter.

"Sorry, wrong emoji :_) I meant to send this :)"

Harry was disappointed. "It's fine." He responded.

"Good night."

"Night."

Back at his place, Ron was freaking out. "Why did I do that? Best mates can't send fucking heart emojis to each other." He said to himself.

Ron plugged in his phone on his nightstand. He got under the covers of his bed and sighed. He missed Harry sleeping next to him.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. I'm working on a lot of stuff, but the next chapter will either be out later today or tomorrow.
