christmas at the burrow

chapter 2

your pov

after a couple hours of anticipation, finally a rushed looking ron quickly enters the burrow.

the first thing his eyes do is find yours and you can't help but blush.

he's here. :)

you send him a quick smile and he replies with a chuckle.

hermione runs up to him and quickly asked what he bought that took him so long.

of course he says, "it's a surprise obviously. you have to wait until christmas silly." he shot you an adorable look. he held his gaze for an unnatural amount of time.

harry reached over, snapping him out of it and also shooting him a smirk.

ron's pov

i scrambled out of the car as quickly as i could. i knew she was in there.

i reached the door and tried to look as relaxed as possible as i stumbled in.

the very first thing i noticed was the beautiful e/c eyes of y/n. there she was. i had been waiting to see her for so long.

i see her smile and i can't help but chuckle slightly. damn she is adorable.

"so what's in the bag ron?" asked hermione which quickly took you out of your trance.

it was obviously a surprise and nobody could know, incase they would even think of ruining it. a secret it would remain.

i shot another look at y/n. maybe she knows how to take a hint.

i see a smirk coming from harry. i quietly respond "shut the fuck up."

your pov

"boys! ginny! help me unpack!" said mrs. weasley.

you watched eagerly as present after present was brought in the door neatly wrapped. they placed them under the tree and it slowly started to overflow with gifts.

this put a warm feeling in your heart. you absolutely loved christmas.

the last present to be placed under the tree was the one from ron's bag. it was very small and wrapped crisply.

as he put it right on top, he sent you a little smile.

after ron left the room, you walked over to the small box and saw to y/n scribbled in sloppy handwriting.   even though his letters were messy, you couldn't help but think it was adorable. and underneath it read- love, ron.

love? what did that mean? you thought.

before you could think about it for too long, you heard mrs. weasley call your name from the other room. you rushed over taking a quick look back at the small present before you swooped out of the room.

once you found her she told you she had the sleeping arrangements all figured out.

"y/n, hermione, and ginny, you three will share ginny's room. and harry you will be up with fred and george. ron's room doesn't have enough space for the two of you, unless you want to share a bed."

ron burst out in laughter and harry responded with slapping him on the shoulder.

"oh won won, please let me sleep in your amazing bed!" said harry in a high pitched voice. everyone started to giggle.

hermione shot a look at you and you elbowed her in the gut. "ow!" she said under her breath. you both chuckled.

we all fled to unpack our trunks. as you were heading up to the stairs, you felt a soft hand grab your wrist.

you turn back to see the blue eyes of ron.

"h- hi. i just never got a real chance to greet you."

"aw hi ron. i've missed you."

you hold your arms out for a hug. ron smiles and runs into your arms. "i've been waiting for this hug." he whispers in your ear.

you start to blush. a lot.

you pull away from the hug enough to see his face. the two of you hold each other's gaze for a moment before you rush upstairs.

ron's pov

i watched her run up the stairs, away from me. she was so beautiful.

all i wanted was to yell for her to stay. but i just couldn't. i wasn't ready to confess my feelings, not yet.

so instead i let her slip away before i ruined things between us.

there's no way she could like me back. right?
