Flowers and Oranges - Ron Weasley
In which they were complete opposites, but the war had fucked them both up and somehow they find comfort in each other.
A Malfoy and a Weasley...what could possibly go wrong?
Turns out, a lot of things

As she stepped back, she simply watched as he lifted a hand to feel on the fresh hickey on the side of his neck. Unlike the other ones, this one would be very visible. Huffing in surprise, he glanced up at her "Full of surprises, aren't you?"
Shrugging, she took another step back before turning around and continuing for the direction of the castle. Weasley was still behind her and she called over her shoulder "Keep that one visible, yes? Don't need girls like Susan Bones to get any ideas"
"Jealous, little Malfoy?" his voice called after her
"Don't call me that" she kept walking
"Hold up- did you call me handsome?"
As her back was turned to him, she allowed herself to show a tiny smile "As you said, carrot. I'm full of surprises"
Later that day, when the sun had finally set and the silence had entered the castle, Leilani was alone in the common room. Her brother was out, god knows where, Theo was with whatever girl he was currently seeing and Pansy was occupied with Tracy Davis in their dorm. As she sat down on the sofa, she let herself sink into it, folding her legs under her.
Closing her eyes, she let herself sigh and when she opened them again, Leilani completely froze. There on the dark coffee table were two objects, staring up at her. One she was expecting and one she wasn't. At all.
A pink flower and an orange.
Fuck.
