Sorry it took me so long. I never really thought about doing one on Fred II but, here it is!
I suck at endings so I'm sorry if it wasn't how you wanted it to end but I hope you'll like it <3
**************
Falling for your best friend's brother seemed so, so clichè but when it actually happens to you, you don't even care about how clichè it sounds. I sat on Roxanne's windowsill, as she animatedly spoke about Professor Longbottom's partiality, waving her hands around her head and screaming profanity, my eyes drifted to her attractive elder brother who was cleaning the garden. Fred is a great guy and he's like the poster boy for a perfect brother, son and boyfriend all at the same time. We were close, really close and sometimes we'd even act like a couple together.
"-and a cardigan? Really? I thought he'd have atleast a better sense in fashion! And- hey, are you even paying attention?" Roxanne snapped her fingers infront of my face as I tore my eyes away from the group of cousins playing.
"I am, Roxy." I patted her hand as she rolled her eyes, "Oh for Merlin's sake, will you stop looking at my ridiculous brother? Again?"
"I was not looking at him!" I said, pretending to be abashed.
Roxy starts to say something when the door opened with a bang, and Fred barged in, "Your turn, Roxanne!"
"My turn to do what?" Roxy looked at Fred with a curious eye.
"To clean out the garden, obviously." Fred looked at Roxanne like she was mad.
Enraged, Roxy stormed towards the door, "This was the secret part of our deal? This?"
Fred smirked, "Yes, baby sister, yes it was."
Roxanne muttered under her breath and I intervened, "It's okay, Roxy, I'll help. It's the least I could do. I've been here for 2 weeks and I've been as helpful as a Flobberworm's teeth."
"No! You're not doing any work while you're here. I'll do the garden myself. And you wouldn't want to strain your mind since..." And Roxy trailed off.
"Oh, Merlin, will you stop exaggerating? I never even knew my dad well. The only thing that the divorce has affected is probably that there'll be no more pictures of dad in the house. And dad wasn't even fond of magic. He considered it as a curse-" My rant was interrupted as Fred lurched forward and squeezed me in his arms and feigned sniffling lightly.
"Oh, my brave, brave queen." He stroked my back.
I squirmed in his arms as Roxy shook her head and left the room, "Fred, you drama queen, let me go!" Fred nuzzled his face in my neck and I let out a small laugh, feeling ticklish. My hands were draped on his shoulders and I played with his hair. We stayed like that for a while until I felt Fred smirk and he fell back on the bed, pulling me on top of him.
"Hey." Fred smiled as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Hey." I smiled back, my face heating up at our close proximity. I closed my eyes and rested my forehead against his, as I felt his beating heart against me. His lips slowly brushed against mine, waiting for my permission so he could kiss me properly. I smiled and kissed him back.
We rolled until he was above my, balancing himself on his elbows, kissing me lightly. I tugged at his hair and pulled him closer and his hands griped my waist, under my shirt. We slowly pulled back for some air, and opened my eyes.
"Wow. That was wow." Fred breathed out, grinning ear to ear.
"Can't disagree with that." I smiled, still giddy from the kiss.
"I know I'm...late but-" Fred began and I interrupted him, "YES! A thousand times yes!"
Fred let out a relieved laugh and said, "Do you have any idea how long it took me to ask you that? I had to practice on a dummy!"
"As long as you didn't make out with the dummy, I'm okay." I patted his cheek, as he traced my cheeks.
"What if I told you that I did?" Fred raised an eyebrow, teasingly.
"Oh, shut up." I pulled the front of his shirt and just as we were going to kiss, the door opened and Fred looked at the person, groaned and dropped his head on the side of my neck, "Roxy, this wasn't part of the deal! You get is alone together and you leave and never come back!"
The puzzle in my brain clicked and I struggled to get up to yell at Roxy for not telling me first, but Fred had me caged in his arms, "ROXY!" I yelled at her.
"No can do, sister, I was sick of seeing you fawn over him. And something had to be done!" Roxy said in a proud tone.
"Okay now leave!" Fred said, and we heard the door shut with the drowning voice of Roxy complaining about never getting enough credit. Fred turned to me,
"Where were we?"
