✸ ✸ ✸ ✸ ✸ ✸"I hope you understand how much you mean to me, Lennon." Fred smiled and caressed her cheek softly. Lennon couldn't help but smile at the comment and snuggle into his hand.
"I love you, Fred Weasley."
"I love you, Lennon Rose."The two stood in silence, but both were busy listening to their own thoughts of love and hope. The two were a couple years apart in age and Fred wondered if Lennon truly understood how mature of a love he felt for her. He was 19 and she was 21, which isn't that much of an age gap, but compared to her and Charlie—he felt as if it were a competition. Lennon met Charlie in Romania and became best friends the second they met. When Charlie brought Lennon home one Christmas, Fred couldn't keep his eyes off of her. "After this war is over you'll be mine forever." Fred spoke softly into her ear, kissing her gently before staring deep into her eyes. They spoke of their future together, of the big house they would build in the countryside with all their future children running around.
"Lennon, you were calling for him again" Charlie woke her from her thoughts. Her hang over was the first thing Lennon realized when she opened her eyes. A groan erupted her lips and she couldn't help but glare at Charlie. "What am I doing here?" Lennon asked softly, hoping the quieter she spoke the less her head would hurt. "You were drinking again." Charlie told her, crawling into the bed beside her. He and her had a relationship that many would see as intimate. They would sleep in bed with each other and act as if they were together—atleast they did before Fred and her began dating. He hated that his brother was gone, but he felt a huge ache had left him when it came towards his best friend. "What are you doing?" Lennon murmured, but snuggled into his chest. She couldn't help but think back to when they first met. She wondered if things would have been different if she never fell for Fred, if she could have just loved Charlie instead. "I'm laying with my best friend." Charlie answered, laying his head on top of Lennon's. "I miss him, Charlie." Lennon spoke after they sat silently for a few minutes. "I know, but I think it's time you come back to work...and maybe...maybe move on." Charlie cringed at his words, but hoped she wouldn't get offended. "How can I ever move on? He promised me we wouldn't hurt each other," Lennon held tight to Charlie's shirt as she avoided saying his name, "He broke our promises and I can't ever get him back." Charlie didn't know how to respond to the damage her brother's death caused her. He wished she had never even met him. Anything to save her from the pain she is feeling. "I wish it were me you loved." Charlie's voice was barely above a whisper. "Me too," Lennon replied softly, meeting Charlie's hurt gaze with her own.
"But maybe I would still end up hurt no matter the man."
