forever with him (deamus)

faking memory loss never works out

dean woke up with a pounding headache, he was thankful he didn't have any classes today, he wasn't sure if the could function. suddenly the curtains around his bed were pulled back and the sunlight assaulted his eyes.
"merlins ballsack turn it off he exclaimed"
"thomas mind your mouth" seamus's cheery voice called out.
"shay my head hurts"
"yeah you got trashed last night"
"i didn't do anything too embarrassing right, i can't rember a thing"
seamus's face instantly heated up and he was grateful dean couldn't see.
"no i don't think so" seamus said, his voice sounded a little strained but he hoped dean couldn't tell. "anyways i brought you this, it helps cures hangovers" dean groaned as seamus helped him sit up, then he swallowed back the mixture.
"it tastes awful"
"that's how you know it's working, now i have to go give some to the other boys. go back to bed. you'll feel better in a bit"
"thanks shay" dean said as he rolled back over. seamus administered the same mixture to harry, ron, and neville and then went down to the common room to wait till dean got up. when he got down there he saw hermione and ginny laughing together.
"hey guys" he said as he sat in the chair across from them, they shot each other a look.
"have a fun night last night" hermione asked.
"yeah did you guys"
"i did" said ginny "but my brothers a twat so mione not as much"
"it wasn't all his fault" hermione said
"you're just blinded by your love for him" ginny sighed.
"i am not in love wi-"
"speaking of being in love" ginny said cutting hermione off "are you and dean now dating"
"what" seamus exclaimed
"we all saw you two at the ball, how you looked at each other"
"he's not gay" seamus mumbled
"that's a load of crap" said ginny
"language" scolded hermione "but she's not wrong"
"how can you be sure"
"because he's told both of us many different times"
"then why hasn't he told me"
"probably because you're the only person he's truly afraid of losing" ginny stated. seamus paused and considered it.
"you owe my 5 galleons" ginny whispered to hermione. she sighed and handed her the money.
"what was that for" seamus asked.
"you just won me a bet seamus" ginny said smirking.
"how"
"by not getting with dean by the time the yule ball passes"
"you bet on my love life" seamus said faking offence.
"and i do it again" said ginny. "now if you'll excuse me i have a date to get to" she said as she stood up, seamus and hermione watched her leave.
"luna seems to make her happy" said hermione.
"yeah real happy" seamus agreed.
"does dean make you happy"
"constantly"
"....do you love him"
"do you love ron"
"i-i think so"
"....me too"
"then why not do something"
"because what if he doesn't like me"
"seamus open your eyes"
"..... why don't you do something about ron"
"you know what i think i will, when he wakes up can you tell him i'm looking for him"
"okay yeah"
"thank you"
"good luck"
"you too"
and with that seamus walked back up to his dormitory. when he got up there he was surprised to see ron awake.
"oh hermione's looking for you"
"oh she must be so mad i was a complete dick to her last night"
"i'm surprised you remember you got totally trashed"
"well i couldn't really remember earlier but that potion seemed to have cleared that fog"
"... you remember last night because of the potion"
"yeah i can't wait for harry to remember all he did, priceless. i better go deal with mione now"
"yeah" said seemingly distracted. shit shit shit deans gonna remember everything from last night how can i face him. seamus though panicking. just then he heard shifting coming from deans bed. the room of requirement he can't find me there. seamus realized as he ran out of the room. when dean woke up his head was clear and so were his memories from last night. as the scene replayed in his head he couldn't help but turn beat red. he jumped out of bed and ran down to the common room hoping to find seamus, unfortunately he wasn't there.
"did you see seamus this morning" he asked oliver. he looked up from his game of chess against george.
"oh yeah he ran out the door a few minutes ago" oliver said as george moved one of his pieces behind his back winking at dean as he did.
"thanks wood" dead shouted back as he ran out the door after him. luckily dean knew exactly where seamus would be he simply thought of finding seamus and the door appeared for him. he carefully oppened it up and saw seamus sitting with his head in his hands.
"hey shay you alright" seamus jumped up startled.
"hey sorry yeah just thinking"
"is this about what happened last night"
"oh shit look i was going to tell-"
"because i can't remember anything so did i do something to you" dean quickly lied, he felt like last night would just make things awkward between them even though nothing really happened.
"you.... don't" seamus asked.
"no, must've been way too drunk, but that hangover cure made me feel a lot better so thanks"
"but you don't remember anything"
"no.. anything in particular i should remember"
"no" seamus said rather quickly. "i'm starving let's go eat" he said hoping up from his seat and striding out the door before dean could even react.
