say that you love me

eighteen

The next morning I spotted Ron in the common room, he smiled at me when he looked over at me. I walked downstairs towards him and chuckled as he pulled me into a hug. I closed my eyes briefly, taking in his scent. 

"Let's go for a walk" he whispered softly, pulling away slowly.

We walked out of the common room and began to walk around the castle, in silence for a few seconds before he spoke up.

"I know that I haven't really been here for you in a while Y/n and I'm sorry"

I shook my head looking up at him as I crossed my arms

"There's no need to apologize you haven't done anything wrong, you were very supportive of my decision when I decided to be with Draco even though you hate him" 

He laughed, nodding as he leaned against the wall.

"I'm always going to support you Y/n even though I do hate him. You're one of my best friends. I love and care about you a lot you know that right?"

I nodded giving him a small smile

"I know, I love you too Ron"

"Now, if you want to talk about the whole situation I'm all ears but if you don't it's okay"

"I just don't know what I want anymore, I'm really overwhelmed and I feel like I'm letting everyone down or I'm hurting everybody. Im hurting myself the most"

"You shouldn't let this get to you. You did this for yourself, you did this to let yourself breath" 

"I know but can you really blame me? They're both really amazing people"

He gave me a look on the last part of the sentence, causing us to burst out laughing. 

"Look Draco, he has his times. I really do appreciate the fact that you supported me through that"

"I know Y/n you tell me all the time" 

"I know I do and you didn't have to, I think you hate him more than Harry does"

I laughed, shrugging as we continued to walk.

"How are things going with Hermione?"

I choked on his own air, coughing as he turned a light shade of pink. 

"What aren you talking about?"

"Come on Ron, everyone except you and Hermione know"

"She likes me?"

"For years Ronald, but you're too blind. Hey you should ask Harry to let you borrow his glasses, maybe you'll take a hint"

"You're one to talk" he nudged me as we walked into the Great Hall, sitting across from Hermione and Harry. 

"Lovely morning?" Hermione asked as she looked at the both of us.

"You could say that"

And it was, because of that conversation Ron and I grew closer.
