It was night at the burrow on Christmas Eve, I had already been staying there for a couple days and not a lot had happened. We mostly played quidditch and 'mione obviously made us revise, much to everyone's dislike. The girls were still annoying me about the Ron situation but I refused to budge, if he were to say he didn't like me back I think I would honestly leave Hogwarts and never return.

We had already sat down for dinner as the twins told me about their new prank that needed to be done tonight. They never fully told me what this prank was but I was sure it was going to be good. Ron was complaining all throughout the meal about his back but no one really listened which made me laugh.

I was sat in Ginny's room with both of them, they were gushing about Harry and Luna which I thought was funny. I was wrapping the presents I had gotten everybody as I always seem to leave everything last minute.

Once I had finished the presents I trekked down the stairs carefully, trying my best to look over the presents piled in my hands. As I reached the living room I noticed Ron lying on the couch snoring loudly. I placed the presents from my hand under the tree and clasped my hands at the sight of the Christmas tree along with all of the gifts.

As I turned around I began to stare at Ron and noticed how peaceful he looked, he was now breathing heavily which was a nice contrast to his snoring. I walked over to the couch and moved a ginger curl that had fallen over his face to the side. I don't know how long I was there just staring at his freckles, they were like mini constellations on his face. I started to trace his freckles knowing that he wouldn't have woken up, he's the deepest sleeper I've ever met, I swear that boy could sleep through anything.

I lifted from my position and walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water before I went to the bed. I took a glass from the cupboard and placed it underneath the tap, as I waited for my glass to fill I looked out the window and I noticed the night sky. The stars reminded me of Ron and it made me smile. I turned off the tap and began to make my way up the stairs until I heard a voice call out.

"Y/n" I heard someone whisper out. I froze in my steps, what the hell was that.

"Y/n" I heard the voice whisper again, I was beginning to freak out.

"He-hello?" I whispered back.

"It's Ron you idiot" he laughed as I released my breath I had been holding in. "Well come in then" he instructed.

I began walking back to the living room and placed my glass of water on the side.

"Yes Ronald" I crossed my arms.

"Hi" he smiled.

I laughed "Hello, are you okay?" I crouched down closer to him to listen.

"I'm fine just wanted to say hi that's all" he blushed.

I smiled and turned to face the fire, my back against the sofa. "Idiot" I mumbled jokingly.

"I never got to sign your cast" he pouted completely ignoring my previous comment.

"What?" I asked now turning to face him.

"I said I never got to sign your cast"

"Well you can sign it now, but you have to promise to write nicely" I stated.

"Okay promise, go get the ink" he smiled.

I got up and ran towards his bedroom trying to be as quiet as possible on the creaky floorboards. I opened his bedroom door and creeped inside trying my hardest not to wake Harry up. Once I got inside I grabbed his ink and quill of his bed side and snuck back downstairs.

"Got it!" I declared.

"Come here then" he patted the sofa with his arm. I walked over and sat down on the sofa making sure not to crush his casted leg.

I shifted closer to him so that our faces were almost touching, I tried to ignore the blush that was rapidly spreading across my face. He took the quill from my hand dipped it in the ink and began writing his name.

I squirmed and he looked up at me worriedly. "Sorry it tickles" I smiled which he retaliated. He finished his name on my cast along with a smiley face, a good touch.

"Done!" he said excitedly.

"It looks great" I lifted my head up to praise him when I fully realised how close we were. Both of us blushed at this realisation until I felt Ron moving a bit closer, almost to kiss me. I began to lean a bit closer too, taking the opportunity.

I could feel his heavy breathing on my face as we lingered there for a little almost a bit unsure of ourselves. Just as we began to move even closer I felt Ron jump out of the trance we both seemed to be in.

"Shit" Ron mumbled, I looked down to were his eyes were focused and noticed all of the ink spilled onto his top.

I started laughing "Oh shit, i'm sorry" I said between laughs. He looked rather unimpressed.

"Go and get me a top" he instructed.

"Oh yeah sorry, sorry won't be a sec" I dashed up the stairs for the second time that night  and rummaged through his dresser in hopes of finding a t shirt. Once I had found an old Chudley Cannons t shirt I ran downstairs and grabbed a towel from the kitchen.

I reached the living room and saw Ron sitting up as he began tugging his t shirt off.  He threw the shirt onto the floor next to him and I ran over.

The ink had ran through onto his skin and I started rubbing the it off of his stomach.

"I'm actually really sorry I know how much you loved that t-shirt" I said glumly still dabbing the ink from his pale, freckled skin.

"Don't worry y/nn I really don't mind" he chuckled and I smiled.

"Okay you're inkless" I smiled.

"Thank you" he said whilst slipping his t shirt over his head as I began walking out of the living room "my favourite" he mentioned.

"Huh?"

"Oh, uhm I said my favourite" I smiled "like my favourite t-shirt you got my favourite t-shirt" he said awkwardly whilst stumbling over his words.

"I know what you meant" I laughed "and I know it's your favourite I swear you always wear it"

"Wow stalking me now are we?" he smirked as I blushed.

"You wish Ronald Weasley" I turned back around.

"One last thing y/nn" he raised his voice a little.

"Yes" I turned my head to look over my shoulder.

"Merry Christmas" I turned to look at the clock, 12:00.

"Merry Christmas Ron. Goodnight" I smiled and walked away as I heard him rustle about.

I swear to god that stupid ink, I will get my payback.
