y/n sat on the edge of george's bed anxiously,
letting the sounds of her tapping foot fill the room.
"ginny! is he back yet?"
she asked with the panic filling her tone.
"no, not yet. he'll be back soon though. don't worry."
"a bit hard, isn't it?"
y/n laughed dryly,
trying to distract herself from the cloud of worry looming over her.
y/n suddenly heard the hurried opening of a door,
and the rushed footsteps.
"oh, my son!"
mrs weasley voice was faint,
but loud enough for y/n to hear.
the unease washed over y/n and made her nauseous,
sending her frozen to the bed.
"y/n, george,"
was all ginny said before y/n rushed to her feet and bolted downstairs.
there she came face to george who was covered in blood.
"oh my god,"
y/n murmured,
feeling the blood drain itself from her body.
she kneeled next to the couch and took george's hand into hers.
his eyes fluttered at the contact,
the all too familiar touch of y/n l/n bringing him back to life.
he noticed the shimmer against her cheeks and realized she was crying,
making him frown.
"why are you crying, love?"
he croaked out.
y/n sniffled,
"why else?"
he chuckled hoarsely and brought a shaky finger to her cheek,
pushing with all his might to brush her tear away.
"don't cry. i'm saintlike now, y/n."
"saintlike?"
y/n and fred questioned as one.
george grinned,
"yeah...i'm holy,"
he pointed a finger to where his ear once laid.
y/n erupted into well needed laughter and buried her head into george's chest carefully,
just desperate to listen to the beating of his heart.
"let a man breathe, y/n,"
george chuckled wheezily.
y/n ran a smooth hand down his abdomen,
shaking her head with a giggle.
"enough with the jokes, saint george."
george grinned and closed his eyes,
the pain throbbing throughout his body.
but he brought a loving hand to her cheek and laid it there to rest.
she laid a tender kiss to his chin and sent the blood rushing through george's body.
suddenly the pain ebbed away.
y/n's kiss was nothing short of the best medicine one could offer.
"heal up for me, my love."
"will you be here when i wake up?"
he asked,
letting the sleep carry him under.
her giggle could be considered a lullaby,
george realized.
"i will. i'll be here, promise."
she laid a soft kiss to his chin again while her fingers smoothed his hair down.
and he relaxed into the couch,
letting both the echo of y/n's giggle and his mother's medicine send him to sleep.
***
when george woke up again,
the pain on the side of his head was pulsating.
he winced and let the quiet curse slip past his lips,
only to soon open his eyes and find y/n.
she laid on the floor as close to the couch as possible,
fast asleep.
george chuckled,
which sent a piercing shock through his body.
"ah!"
he groaned,
closing his eyes and clenching his fists.
"hey, hey, are you okay?"
y/n asked worriedly.
george let his eyes open slowly and smiled at the girl hovered over him,
"you know, when i asked if you'd be here, i didn't mean literally. you could've slept in the bed, my love."
"yeah, i know. but who would've been here for you now, hm?"
he chuckled and felt her lips brush against his,
his body running numb and relieving him of the pain.
"mm, you're right."
"as always,"
she whispered out with a soft giggle.
y/n closed the space and let her lips gently move against george's,
where he relished in the electrifying that sent his heart to hammer against his ribcage.
she pulled back slowly,
"you feeling okay?"
"mhm, definitely. feel a whole lot better if you kissed me again."
y/n laughed loud enough for it to echo inside of george's mind,
though he wasn't complaining.
"should i wake your mum? i don't exactly know what medicines she's been giving you."
"i'm fine, promise. just...stay with me."
"yeah, i can do that."
y/n nestled her head to george's chest and hummed just soft enough for him to hear,
and waited until he fell asleep to quit.
y/n looked up at george who seemed to sleep as peacefully as he could,
leaving her to stare with the pain wringing her heart.
she began tracing small circles against the center of his chest and letting her eyes tear up to the brim.
she noticed the pale look in his skin and the traces of dried blood to his eyebrows,
making her stomach twists in knots.
y/n pulled away from george and tucked her heavy head in between her knees,
letting the choked, quiet sobs slip out.
george peeled his eyes open to find y/n whose body was shaking from her cries.
he felt his heart sink to the pit of his stomach.
he placed a weak hand to her shoulder and gave it a small squeeze,
making her flinch.
"hey, you okay?"
she asked,
hurrying to wipe her tears.
"why are you crying?"
she laughed,
making george frown a bit.
even through it the worst of it,
y/n still found a way to laugh.
george would never not admire her. 
"how'd you know?"
"i lost an ear, love. not my eyes."
y/n let out another laugh that resonated deep within him,
due to the melancholy ache.
her laugh soon melted into a sob,
sending tears of his own to george's eyes.
"talk to me, my love."
"i'm fine, george. i'm-i'm supposed to be helping you, not the other way around."
he let the back of his fingers trace her cheek,
where he wiped away most of her tears,
"i love you. did you know?"
she nodded and pressed her lips together,
trying to force the rest of the tears back,
"i love you, too. more than anything in this lifetime."
"see? we're okay. everything's fine, doll. stop crying for me please."
y/n hurried to wipe the excess tears with her sleeve and took in deep breaths to steady herself.
"i'm fine, i'm okay. how are you feeling?"
"great. fantastic, even. just having you here by my side is more than enough for me."
***
"where's george?"
y/n asked as she began helping fred stock the shelves  at the shop.
"sleeping, i guess."
"right. i'll go wake him."
she snickered to herself as she trailed upstairs to the bedroom he resided in.
"george,"
she began to sing playfully.
he threw the blanket over his head,
"i can't hear you! i only have one ear, remember!"
she let her laugh ring loose throughout the bedroom as she waltzed to where he laid,
sorting her way beneath the covers with him.
she wrapped an arm around his waist and placed her cool cheek to his warm backside.
"can you hear me now?"
"mhm. i like this a lot more."
she giggled and rolled her eyes playfully,
"freddie and i need your help downstairs."
"hm? what's that? can't hear. one ear, remember?"
"oh!"
she exclaimed and gently slapped his back,
"laying it on thick, aren't you love?"
"maybe. guess the one ear trick stopped working, huh?"
"mhm, sure did. it's been months now. so, get up."
he turned to face her and planted his forehead against hers,
his eyes baring down into her soul.
she felt her ribcage swim with butterflies.
"i love you,"
he whispered.
"and i love you."
george and y/n shared a deep, loving kiss that was only meant for the quiet of their world.
underneath the covers,
with the love pulsing through them,
they remained as one.
from now,
until their days ran short.
