Always

I swatted at my nose. Something was tickling it. I swatted it again, before I finally heard his laugh. I opened my eyes to see Ron looking down at me, smiling.

“Good morning, girlfriend”, he said, kissing me lightly.

“Mmm. That sounds nice. Good morning, boyfriend”, I said, kissing him back. “I don’t think I will ever tire of kissing you”, I murmured between more kisses.

“Well, that’s good since we’re dating now”, he said, sticking his tongue out at me. I kissed him again, pulling him closer to me by his neck. I wrapped my leg around his, trapping him next to me. I pulled back slightly to look at the clock and groaned. Seven o’clock.

“I have to get ready for work. I don’t want to go. I wish I could stay here with you forever”, I said, burying my face in his chest.

“Well, it is a good thing I already called Hermione and told her you wouldn’t be able to make it to work today. She agreed but we have to go there for dinner so she can give you a proper scolding… and probably gossip” he said, kissing the top of my head.

“You did that for me?”, I asked, looking up to him, surprise written on my face.

“Well, I would like to think that I know my girlfriend and know that she would like to keep me to herself for a while”, he said, shifting so that he was hovering above me.

“Good thing you know your girlfriend then”, I laughed, smiling. “I love hearing that. I’m your girlfriend. Girlfriend”, I giggled again.

“Yes, and your boyfriend would really like to kiss you, so if you are done giggling…” he said, leaning down and pressing his lips to mine. He nibbled my bottom lip. I parted my lips, granting him access. He moved his lips down my jaw and nibbled under my ear. I bucked my hips up to meet his. I sat up and he started to help me take off my shirt. He kissed my stomach just as my shirt was about to be lifted over my head when my stomach loudly grumbled beneath his lips. We both laughed.

“Maybe we should get you something to eat first”, he laughed, pulling me out of bed. I sat at the island in the kitchen as he made me bacon and eggs. Ron couldn’t cook much, but the simple things he was good at. He placed a plate down in front of me, before he could move to grab drinks from the fridge, I flicked my wrist and 2 glasses of juice, and his plate landed softly in front of us.

“Show off” he smirked at me. I smiled back between my bites of bacon and eggs. I had always been decent at my wandless magic. We kept grinning at each other and blushing. After breakfast, I decided I wanted to cuddle on the couch and watch some tv. Our lips were tangled in each other. I couldn’t tell you what we were watching, I kept looking up at him to kiss him, or kiss his neck, or his shoulder, or his chest. Eventually having enough of my teasing, Ron picked me up and brought me to our bed. He removed my shirt before laying me down on my back. He removed his shirt and then straddled me.

“Kiss me”, I said forcefully. Not having to be told twice, his lips met mine. One of his hands was moving up and down my side, while the other was cupping a breast. I tangled my fingers in his hair as I deepened our kiss. I moved my lips to his neck, to his collarbone, and back up, nibbling along the way. Ron moved to kiss down my chest, sucking lightly on my nipple. I moaned and arched my back. He moved his mouth lower and over my stomach, stopping to nibble on my hips. I placed a finger in the hem of my underwear. “Please”, I asked.

He slowly removed my underwear, kissing my thigh slowly. “Please”, I begged again. Ron looked up at me as he found his way between my legs. I closed my eyes as his tongue found my body. I tangled my fingers in his hair as he moved his fingers in and out of my entrance over and over. I felt myself clench around his fingers and his tongue slowly rode out my orgasm.

The rest of the afternoon went about the same. Between cuddles and small kisses, to not being able to keep our hands off the other one. Eventually we showered and got ready for dinner and Hermione’s. We talked animatedly on the car ride over to her house. Walking up to the door, Ron grabbed my hand and laced our fingers together. Hermione said nothing as she opened the door. We made it all the way to the living room and sat on the couch before she couldn’t contain herself anymore.

“Okay, spill”, she said excitedly. We told her of our decision to actually date and simply let her know we spent the day… in bed. No specific details were given, much to her dismay. “You know when Ginny finds out she is going to demand details”, she sighed.

“Oh, I know”, I replied. “Where is Blaise?” I asked. Hermione opened her mouth to reply, when Blaise walked in the room, followed closely by Draco and Theo and his girlfriend Kacey. I felt Ron shift next to me. He became rigid and tightened his hold on my hand. I knew they didn’t care much for each other. Draco was never nice to Ron in school. I’ve tried to tell Ron it was because of Draco’s father. If his father knew he was friends with us… home life would have been worse. That never seemed to matter to Ron.

“I’m going to grab a drink; would you like one”? Ron asked me, standing. I nodded my head yes. He leaned over and kissed me on my lips, hard. I ground my teeth together and shot a look at Hermione. I’d bring it up to him at home, not here. Dinner was very tense as Blaise asked Draco, Theo, and Kacey to stay. I mostly talked with Hermione but would sometimes input my opinion into Blaise and Draco’s conversation. We left to go home shortly after.

“What is wrong? Are you mad at me?” I asked tentatively, as Ron huffed down on the couch.

“Yes… no… no I’m not. I’m just frustrated. I don’t understand how you can stand being around him”. He grumbled barely looking at me.

“Draco? This is about Draco? Is that why you kissed me so hard? You were staking your claim on me?” I asked furious.

“Yeah, I did. You are mine”. He replied.

“Of, course I am yours. I cried at the thought of you with another girl and you think after not even a day of dating, I’d suddenly decided to go for someone else? Draco is my friend. That is, it. I have never even thought of him as more than that”, I cried.

“Of, course I don’t think you would! That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t try something. He’s a slimeball. I don’t like him”. He still wouldn’t look at me. I moved to sit in front of him. We haven’t even been dating a full day yet and already we were arguing. I tried not to let my insecurities show.

“I know you don’t, but I treat him the exact same way I treat Blaise. But… but if you don’t… if you don’t want me to… I won’t… I won’t talk to him.” I was starting to tear up at this point. “Just please… don’t… don’t leave me… not already”, I said, barely a whisper. A tear made its way down my cheek. Ron’s head snapped up at that. He sat between my legs on his knees and cupped my cheek, his thumb wiped away my tears.

“Kat, I’m not going anywhere. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean… he just frustrates me. You can be friends with whoever you like. I’m sorry. Please don’t cry.” He kissed my cheeks where my tears were still falling. “I’m sorry I made you feel so sad. I know losing me is a big fear of yours. I promise I’m not going anywhere”. He pulled me into his lap and hugged me until my tears stopped. “Want me to draw you a bath?” he asked gently. I nodded my head yes.

He carried me to the bathroom and set me on the toilet seat while he filled the tub with warm water and bubbles. He kissed my head and walked into the bedroom. When the water turned cold, I walked into the bedroom. He had the covers pulled back, my favorite t-shirt of his was laying on my side of the bed. I changed quickly and wandered out to the living room to find Ron. He had a cup of hot coco waiting for me. He was sitting shirtless, in just his boxers on the couch. He smiled when saw me and I felt my knees grow weak. I stopped walking and just stared for a moment. I sat next to him and curled into his side.

“I’m truly sorry Kat. I really like you; I don’t want to lose you either”. He said, kissing my forehead which caused butterflies to explode in my stomach

“I really like you too Ronald” I said into his chest. I sipped my hot chocolate, once it was gone, I grabbed his hand and led us to my bedroom so I could fall asleep next to him.
