This is the first in a series of Drabbles which I have labeled the "Firsts"...which is pretty much all of Ron and Draco's firsts. Like this, First touch. So basically like their first kiss, first date, first fight, first time, etc...so, enjoy! The rating will probably go up as some of the fics will be more...mature, so just a heads up!

WARNINGS: Suggested slash, but not really. uh-oh!

FIRST TOUCH

At first after the war they were both still hesitant of each other. Even though good had prevailed and silly dislikes had been put aside to focus on the bigger picture, there was still that age-old rivalry that went too deep to be ignored completely. But after Mrs. Weasley invited Draco to spend the summer at the Burrow and he agreed it was rather easy to get used to each other. And soon after they were spending more time together than the required mealtimes.

In fact in wasn't even a month before they considered each other friends. And although both outwardly denied it furiously, inside they grew to enjoy the other's presence.

One particular unimportant day found them wandering lazily through the backyard and finally settling down on the grass, the hot air making hazy patterns across the trees and house.

They had been talking about unimportant things; Quidditch, the weather, and that time Draco stole Neville's remembrall in their first year. It was quiet for a few moments as they thought back on it sentimentally when all of a sudden Draco turned on his side and placed his hand in the crook of Ron's elbow.

Ron looked over suddenly, and the two stared at each other intensely not speaking a word, but somehow both felt as if the other were screaming something intelligible at them. Neither moved; Draco did not take his hand away but Ron did not move to touch him as well.

So they sat there for neither knew how long, Draco's hand burning through the thin fabric of Ron's sweater, their eyes not straying, until they heard Mrs.Weasley calling them for dinner.

They stood up and went to dinner and both acted as if nothing happened, but they knew that something key had changed when Draco had touched Ron, even if they didn't know what it was yet.

Wow, I've been posting a lot this week. And with finals coming up I really shouldn't be, but it's like with the more work teachers give me to do, the less I actually want to do it. It seems with more stress comes more inspiration, even though this one was written awhile ago. So I'll correct myself: With more stress comes more inspiration to post to and maybe I'll actually study for my finals...but most likely: Review and maybe I'll write/post more. I've got another "first" coming up soon, should be within the next week or so.
