kim thought of the boy she met in kindergarten. how her first comment was that he was weird but she liked him. he may have been a bit goofy looking but kim never thought of it like that. no, she thought it was cute. she though that he was cute. it was worse now. worse in the sense that she couldn’t deny there was a small flutter inside of kim whenever ron smiled at her. or when he looked at her as if she were the only person in the room despite there being dozens of other beautiful people around. kim flushed at his question and pretended to squint at the sun as if her reddened cheeks were from the heat of the day. “you’ve always been the good lookin’ part of our duo. why do you think i keep you around?” the girl teased, giving him a classic side smirk. “a great glow up but you’ve always been handsome ron. its just now that people are starting to notice it.” kim looked down, smiling to herself. “i’ve always known.”

( was that a blush he saw or was he just overthinking? he was probably seeing things. ) he smiled, a little bashfully, while rubbing his neck. why was he getting so nervous all of a sudden? “you’re just saying that, kp. i mean, i know that i’m a handsome devil now but...” and for one of the very few times in his life, ron wasn’t too sure what to say. it was a different kind of feeling. not an unpleasant one, honestly, but foreign to how he usually felt when he was around kim. his heart skipped a beat when she said that, the blush on his face starting to grow more red with every passing second and he didn’t know how to feel... warm? awkward? unsure? all he knew was that every girl in the world ( even the hottest supermodel around ) could have said what she had said but no one would make him feel the way she did in that moment. “you -- you know, you’re not too bad yourself! well... you were always the most beautiful person in the room but now like -- woah, y’know?” and there went the word vomit, but it was true and he didn’t know why but ron knew it needed to be said.
