one of us. (f.w)

chapter thirteen.

"so it's true?"
you began,
the nerves riling in your stomach making you rather queasy.
"have i ever lied?"
you leaned against the door and laughed,
"wow.."
"can you blame me? seems like we were meant to be from the very first day, y/n,"
he explained with a smile on his lips that you couldn't help but giggle to.
he got to his feet and made his way to where you stood,
towering over you as he stared into your eyes.
you swallowed hard as the butterflies began to swim around within you.
fred's hand found its way to your cheek like it had done so many times before,
but each time it still made you weak in the knees.
the pad of his thumb drug itself across your bottom lip,
the lust and love pooling in his eyes.
"fred..."
you mumbled out as your breath became short.
he grinned and turned his head,
"have i ever told you how much i love your eyes?"

you couldn't hold back any longer.
you closed the space between you two and felt your lips connect at last.
every racing thought and stressful bone in your body coming to bay as you two stood intertwined.
hungrily and lovingly,
fred kissed you as if he had done it for years.
not missing a beat,
he pulled back slowly with your bottom lip carefully intact between his teeth.
his hands that were once ruffling through your hair,
were now holding your cheeks ever so gently.
"i love you, fred."
"i love you all the more, sunshine."
***
you and fred entered the door of the house you occupied and had occupied for years now,
the luggage trailing behind you both.
"mum! we're home!"
you called out,
hearing the echoes of footsteps.
cindy came from around the corner with a smile,
and folded her hands.
"nice to see you again y/n. and fred."
"my y/n!"
her mother exclaimed and wrapped you in her arms,
"hi mum."
once you pulled back you looked at fred who was smiling as hard as you could imagine.
you intertwined your fingers with his,
"mum, you remember fred? my boyfriend."

you and your family spent the rest of the afternoon catching up,
and you couldn't help but admire the way fred connected so well with your mother.
you eventually leaned your drowsy head against his shoulder,
feeling him place a kiss on the top of your head.
"tired?"
you answered with nod.
"head on to bed then."
"are you coming?"
the two of you rose to your feet and exchanged goodnights,
soon finding your way to your bedroom with fred behind you.
"so this is the bedroom, huh?"
he chuckled and looked around,
almost wonderstruck.
"this would be it."
you laughed and turned on your feet,
wrapping your arms around fred's neck.
he smiled before pulling you in and connecting your lips as one.
you basked in the feeling of your bodies tangled together as one.
feeling this love.
feeling like you were finally home.
like you had a family again.
"i always knew you'd be one of us, y/n."
