Kiss The Girl
Hermione/Ron. Now, any other boy would call this situation awkward - boring, even - but not Ron. No, he could spend the rest of his life just sitting in silence with Hermione... Ron asks Hermione something important, with a little help from Ginny.
"Um...Hermione...would you like to, um...go outside..?" Ron stuttered, looking at his feet.
"...Sure, Ron..." Hermione said slowly, following the redhead out to the balcony of Harry and Ginny's new apartment.
Ron looked out over the edge of the terrace. Harry's apartment looked over a beautiful river, which was the main reason he bought this apartment: Ginny had a fascination with nature. Ron then looked over at Hermione, who seemed stunned, herself, by the sight. The funny thing was... Ron seemed to be stunned by her. A river could stun anyone, but it took alot to be knocked breathless by a regular girl who you've known for half your life.
There you see her, sitting there across the way
She don't got alot to say, but there's something about her
And you don't know why, but you're dying to try-
You want to kiss the girl
The way her hair blew in her face... The way she seemed angered that she had to put it behind her ear... The way her eyes darted around the river, as if looking for something to be wrong with the beautiful scene... The way she analyzed everything: even the rocks that were scattered along the riverbend. These things may have seemed annoying to anyone else, but to Ron, they were just other reasons for him to be hopelessly in love with her.
Yes, you want her,
Look at her you know you do
It's possible she wants you too,
There's one way to ask her
Don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Hermione looked over to Ron and smiled, waiting for Ron to say something. Ron just couldn't say anything, he was too busy... well, analyzing the situation. And, for some reason, he was humming a certain tune that reminded him of sea creatures in the back of his head. Where is that blasted song from?
Hermione put her arms over her shoulders as the wind kicked up. Is he going to say anything? she wondered. Or did he just want me to see the river that I've only seen a billion times since last week, when Harry bought the apartment?
Sing with me now
Sha la la la la
Oh my my
Look at the
boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la
Ain't that sad
Ain't it a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl
Ron glanced over at Hermione again and watched her stare at her sandle. Now, any other boy would call this situation awkward - boring, even - but not Ron. No, he could spend the rest of his life just sitting in silence with Hermione, watching her do everyday things...
It was true. At school, he used to watch her struggle with her homework, then do a quiet happy dance when she knew the answer. The way she would stick out her tounge when she would write, the way she would sit on the edge of her seat, as if begging the words to come out of her page.
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
Not a single word
Until you kiss the girl
Hermione now was examining her nails. Oh, God! Ron thought frantically. She's bored! ...And where is that song coming from! Ron glanced through the glass doors to Ginny, who was in the living room. She was holding up the Little Mermaid soundtrack and smirking deviously. Ron mentally stabbed himself for having such a nosy sister.
Sha la la la la
Don't be scared
You gotta be prepared
Come on and kiss the girl
Sha la la la la
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Hermione started to notice the music, too, and glared bullets at Ginny, who ducked away behind Harry. She then looked up at Ron and laughed quietly, then put her sweater tighter around herself. Ron blushed a tiny bit as Ginny pumped the music louder.
SHA LA LA LA LA
FLOAT ALONG
LISTEN TO THE SONG
THE SONG SAYS KISS THE GIRL
SHA LA LA LA LA
MUSIC PLAY
DO WHAT THE MUSIC SAY
YOU WANNA KISS THE GIRL
Hermione looked up at Ron, and he couldn't place what it was that he saw in her eyes. Worry? Was she worried his breath was stinky? Hope? Did she want him to kiss her? Regret? ...Did she not want him to kiss her?
Honestly, it's not like you've never kissed before! the voice inside his head argued.
But this is hopefully the last kiss we...kiss as just dating! I have big plans after this kiss!
It was true. Hermione and Ron had been going out at least a year, and they spent every waking moment together. The truth was, they had known each other and liked each other half their lives. I was just a slow bloomer, Ron told himself. I didn't ask her out until people started thinking we were actually together.
And now, he didn't want to make a wrong move. One wrong move could mean breaking up, and never asking that question that was on his mind.
Ginny, if possible, blasted the music to the highest extent of...loudness.
YOU'VE GOT TO KISS THE GIRL
WHY DON'T YOU KISS THE GIRL?
YOU GOTTA KISS THE GIRL
GO ON AND KISS THE GIRL
"Oh, honestly, Ronald," Hermione said, a bit of laughter in her voice. "Why can't you take a hint?"
Ron's eyes nearly popped out of his head. She wants to kiss me! This is a hint? Well, of course it's a hint, Ginny played it on purpouse, but does that mean -
Hermione's eyes screamed, 'shut up and kiss me!' What could Ron do, ignore her pleading eyes?
Smirking, Ronald dipped Hermione and kissed her like he never had before, which madeRon smile. When they broke away, Hermione looked rather flushed and tucked a few stray hairs behind her ear.
"Will you marry me?" he asked quietly.
"Wha YES!"
YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO
GO OVER THERE, AND KISS HER!
