Ron x Viktor Krum, but Krum, of course, can't properly speak and messes his confession in some weird, linguistic way, please? 👀👀👀
They have been sitting in silence for minutes now.Â
Ron tries to pass the time with small sips of his butterbeer, but he notices Viktor’s every move, the way he rubs the back of his neck, his mouth just starting to open before he snaps it shut.Â
“Everything alright?” Ron ventures, hoping they can start actually enjoying themselves.Â
It had been Viktor who had suggested this, the lunch at Hogsmeade, explaining he had something to tell Ron. Now, Ron was a bundle of nerves, waiting for whatever Viktor wanted to say.Â
Viktor sighs, grip tight on his mug. “I...,” he starts before clearing his throat. “I think your face is amusing.”
Ron’s first reaction is to frown. Amusing has too many meanings and with Viktor’s reddening face, Ron isn’t sure what way he means this.Â
“I like your smile,” Viktor continues on. “Your giggle. You sound like a duck.”
A choke of a laugh leaves Ron then and he tries to hide it behind his hand. “Um, thank you?” Ron manages to reply.
Viktor tilts his head back, mumbles something to himself before he looks back at Ron. “I thought I would be better at this. I apologize.”
“Nothing to be sorry for,” Ron reassures.Â
He thinks to admit his feelings, to jump the gun, but Viktor has more to say as his arm shoots across the table and he grabs Ron’s hand.Â
“I love you.”
Ron’s heart thumps in his chest, a blush rises to his face. He had hoped he and Viktor had the same feelings for each other and to hear it out loud makes Ron’s mind go blank.
It’s only when Viktor’s face starts to drop that Ron jumps into action, squeezing Viktor’s hand.Â
“I love you too, Viktor,” he smiles.Â
Viktor lets out a huge sigh of relief, gets up from his spot and sidles in next to Ron on his side of the booth. Their hands tangle together and Ron can’t stop smiling.
“Your freckles...like stars,” Viktor breathes.
Ron can’t help raise a hand to his face but Viktor meets him halfway. The silence edges in again, but this time, it’s comfortable as Ron and Viktor forget about the world around them, only seeing each other.
