Navigation | Fred Weasley Masterlist | Part 2
Fred slowly drifted from his dream, in the state of knowing he’s waking up yet he can still interact within his unconscious world. He drifted that little bit quicker as he felt you wriggling around, feeling your arms hugging him as your nose pushed into his chest.
His eyes flutter open, taking time to look around the room and let his eyes adjust, it was definitely morning, but by the blue hues it was only first light, his suspicions confirmed by the clock reading, 04:25. His head turns to you then, you were smiling in your sleep, fingers clutching the fabric of his shirt softly, your leg lazily draped over his own
He trailed the backs of his fingers over your cheek, smiling to himself as he recalls last night. If he was being honest he never thought there would be a day he could kiss you, let alone it be nothing like he imagined and yet that was the best part. He’d always imagined some huge confession followed an angry rain kiss, or perhaps a drunken kiss, maybe even some mistletoe. But the one you shared was so much better, it was sweeter than any other kiss he had shared with someone and he really could say with confidence it was the best first kiss he could have asked for
Fred shamelessly watched you sleep, soaking up every little hum, movement and slight facial expression. He pulled you into him, nuzzling his nose into your hair, smelling the same thing which freaked him out at first when he was 17, as well as the thing he always smelt when he walked by the love potion section of the shop.
“You trying to eat me?” you mumble into his chest and he can feel the smile on your face
He kisses your hair before pulling back to look at you “Maybe” he smirks
Your eyes flick up to him, seeing the mischief in his eyes “Oh no you don’t” you duck out of his arms and try to climb under the covers and out via the bottom of the bed but he’s too quick, hand wrapping around your ankle
“Freddie” you squeal
Fred just laughs at your reaction, slithering under the covers himself whilst holding you down and placing open mouth kisses your clothed and unclothed skin as if he’s taking bites
“No” you ‘try’ to escape his grasp, fits of giggles escaping you as his lips latch to your exposed shoulder and up your neck from where your shirt has slid down
“No escaping now” he taunts, half laying on top of you with a wicked grin on his face
You fake a gasp “Don’t eat me” you play cower “I’ll do anything” you announce dramatically
He runs his nose over your cheek to your ear “Anything eh?” he whispers, chuckling at your little hiccup
Fred pulls away from your face, the light peeking through the gap in your small cover cocoon, illumining yours and his faces
“Am I dreaming?” he wonders out loud, his touch softens as he runs his hand up and down your waist, thumb brushing up and over your stomach on occasion in a sweet rhythm
You shake your head “If you are I’m one incredibly realistic fantasy…although maybe I should be concerned over your cannibalistic nature” you reply with a giggle, eyes tracing over his features
He was flushed, gorgeous rosiness to his cheeks and wearing a smile that made you melt further into the mattress. His hair was messy yet he still looked so handsome, your eyes flicked down to his shirt, the material ridden up during your little squabble. You bite your lip at his stomach, faint trace of his upper abs in his relaxed state with the little pudge of fat of his stomach, and the small trail of hair leading downwards from his bellybutton
Fred more than noticed your stares as his laughs dissipated and let himself admired you as well. Your hair was loosely splayed beneath your head, face fresh from the abrupt wake, laugh lines still faintly visible even when your giggles have stopped. Fred then looked down, your shorts and shirt ridden up, leaving your midriff and upper thighs exposed to him.
It was funny, you’d both see the other in swimsuits, lesser clothes than you had on now yet everything felt so different, new. Perhaps because you were allowed to look now, the guilt of looking at your best friend and the fear of not being loved back now long gone
“You are beautiful” he says as your eyes meet “So beautiful” he gives you a warm smile
“Well I am a figment of your imagination course you’d make me pretty” you grin up at him, your hand moving to cup over his pressed into the mattress besides you
He chuckles “This can’t be dream then” he says leaning closer, causing your breath to hitch as his chest gently brushes yours
“Why not?”
“Because you were always prettier in person” he nudges his nose with yours “And you look prettier than I’ve ever seen you right now”
“Flirt” you whisper, cheeks becoming sore from how much your smiling
“Only for you little bird” his lips brush against yours, so close you can feel the vibrations of his voice
His lips capture yours softly, breaking away with each long and slow kiss as you and he close the gap between your bodies. Your hands moving under his arms, running over his back before you grip around his shoulders, pulling him down into you as your legs tangle. Fred hand trails up and down your sides, eventually moving there way all the way up to your cheek but by then you’ve broken the kiss giggling
“Love I can’t kiss you if you laugh” he chuckles pulling away from your lips “Stop”
“I’m sorry” you continue giggling, giving him a quick peck
“Then what?” he asks, maybe his hair looks funny?
“You cupped my boob…sorry” you break out in little laughs but try to supress them
Fred cheeks heat, he hoped you hadn’t noticed the small grope “I’m so sorry” he says genuinely, although your giggles gave him some solace he was still nervous he made you uncomfortable
Your giggles stop as you see his look of unease “Aww Freddie” you cup his cheeks “I’m not upset it was just funny for a second…I liked it Freddie really I did” you assure him
“Sure?” he asks, voice cuter with the squishing of his cheeks
You nod firmly with a cheeky grin, taking his hand and placing on your chest
“You’re trying so hard not to squeeze it aren’t you?”
He bites back his grin “You’re a cruel birdy” he shakes his head
“My sincerest apologies pretty autumn tree” you shine up at him and his heart flutters at the description “How can I make it up to you?” you say, tugging your bottom lip between your teeth, staring up at him with doe like eyes
Fred ponders for a moment, but you know him and he knows you do. He had something in mind the moment he woke up and never tried to go back to sleep, as well as the moment you placed his hand over your chest
“Two squeezes on both of them and you need to watch the sunrise with me” he bargains
You make it look like you were thinking it over “One small massage on both and the sunrise” you bargain back
Fred felt hot, merlin was his dreams coming true this morning
“Over or under” he plays along with the negotiation, voice deeper in order to make you crack
You do, shying away a little “One boob under or two over plus the sunrise” you say quietly, confidence slipping away
“The sunrise on its own is just fine” he says finally, loving your little pout “What’s wrong little birdy?”
“And you called me cruel” you sulk playfully before him
He chuckles, glancing down at his hand, sliding it down to your side but not without flicking his thumb over one particular area, eliciting a small erratic breath from you
“Cruel tree”
“Pretty birdy”
He kisses you then, pulling away too quickly for your liking so you chase his lips, and with that he falls deeper, granting you one last kiss before he lifts the covers and pulls you upwards. Wordlessly, he grabs a one of the blankets, tucking it under his arm and holds out the other for you to take. You grin as you wrap both of your arms around his, letting him lead you to the window seat
“Wait” you stop him, letting go of his arm and shuffling back towards the bed
Fred watches as you bend down to gather the bigger cover. He chuckles as you cutely pool the quilt into your arms, the material half engulfing you as you shuffle back to the window, insisting you don’t need help as you fold it and make a soft little bed for you both. He grins more as you walk back to get some pillows as well, placing them at the top before turning to him with a proud look
“You like it?”
He drops the blanket over the makeshift bed, his reply in the way he cups your face and kisses you firmly, licking his lips as he pulls back
“Almost as much as I like you” he says, kissing your nose, loving the little scrunch it makes
He pulls up the blinds properly, letting the sparks of first light illuminate the room fully just before it darkens again, the sun readying herself to rise. Fred opens the window, pushing it outwards to let the fresh morning air in, the slight breeze just what you needed as you could tell it was going to be another hot day
You climb up first, letting your legs hang out of the window sighing as you take in the view. The tall trees not so tall from the top floor, mountains beautifully looming in the distance, fields shining with morning dew. Your eyes drift down to the town nearby, the tippy tops of the houses and the wisps of smoke from their chimneys poking out from the surrounding woodland, causing you to smile as you remember the hunt you and Fred went on
The blanket under Fred’s arm was draped carefully around your shoulders, drawing your attention back to the boy as he takes his place next to you. You watch as he fixes his side of the blanket, a smile on his face, leg gently pressed against your own, the whole thing so natural, so domestic
Nothing had changed between you yet at the same time everything had, and you couldn’t be happier as you turned to watch the sun rise between the gap in the mountains
Fred turned to you, hand finding your thigh and wrapping its way around it. His heart still in a minor disbelief this was all really happening, even more at how smoothly you both were transitioning from friends to lovers. He’s done this before with you, hand on your thigh, watching some beautiful sight, up at a ridiculous time, but his heart felt whole, like you were the missing piece and all it took was a kiss that had a long time coming
“It’s starting” you say, smiling as you see the pinks, oranges and even one streak of green lighting up the sky, growing brighter by the second “Pretty” you whisper
“Gorgeous” Fred says, looking directly at you
You turn your head, cheeks rising as you giggle “Eyes on the sky flirty boy” you gently take your finger and turn his head to face the sunrise
“Better get used to it” his arm leaves your thigh and slithers around your waist, pulling you into him “Flirty boy isn’t leaving anytime soon…Godric knows I’ll still be one when we’re old and grey…wait do gingers even get grey?” he ponders
“Guess I’ll be there to tell you if they do, that is if you don’t go bald” you tease, heart fluttering at the idea of growing old with him
Fred’s heart does something similar “If you had seen my grandfather you wouldn’t be telling me that…besides both my uncles have fabulous hair” he smirks, chuckling as you softly grip his chin and turn his head to face the sky once again
“I’ll give you that, you were named after two rather dashing men” you lean your head into him, hand moving to take his own
“Can I assume you fancy me based on how you know in the future I’ll still be this attractive?” he winders out loud, smiling away as the colours grow brighter, the clouds above you both looking like candyfloss
“No that’s just a bonus” you squeeze his hand “I fancied you long before you got…'hot'” you make little bunny ears with your hands before returning them to their original positions
He doesn’t laugh at that just smiles down at you “When did you start fancying me?”
“Happened gradually, but probably started the moment I saw you. I knew for sure at the yule ball I was doomed when we danced though” you confess, finally looking at him
His heart aches for the lost time, pulling you that little bit closer as he kisses your temple before looking out over the spectacular view
“I wanted to ask you” he smiles at he can feel your eyes widening without needing to look, because if he did he was going to kiss you till theirs no tomorrow “The age gap was a little more of a problem back then ya see…but when you went with George, Mione went with Victor and countless others who had a bigger one than us I felt so stupid”
“Me and Georgie only went together because you and Lee had dates. We figured we’d be sad fucks together” you giggle, funny how you can laugh about this stuff now
He nudges his nose into your hair line “Least we got our dance” he cups your cheek
“We did” you nod
“You looked perfect that night” his thumb flicks over your cheek “You always do though”
“Speak for yourself big guy” you mumble, head tilting as you lean into his touch
He grins, pecking your nose “Should have kissed you” his fingers trail down over your cheek and to your lips
“Why didn’t you?” you say, lips tickling his fingers
“Scared which was weird for me” he chuckles “Not to mention your dad, godfathers and brother were nearby to kick my arse…and it wouldn’t be very nice to my date” he adds and you smile
“Always the gentleman” you let out a little laugh, smiling brightly at him “Maybe another ball will happen and we can make it up to each other?”
“It better” he says and you both giggle “But until then I’ll settle for this”
And with that his lips meet yours softly, savouring the moment
“Freddie?” you whisper when you break away, lips still brushing
“One second my love” he kisses you again, and around four more times for good measure “Merlin I love kissing you”
You give him a bashful look “Freddie” you voice breathless
“I love when you call me that too” he wiggles his eyebrows to which you pout so cutely “Sorry birdy” he kisses your forehead “What is it?”
“Two things” he nods “One, you know you got me right? You don’t have to make me combust with flirting”
“I know pretty” you make a little whining noise at that “I’m never going to stop, you have no idea how much I’ve been holding back all these years”
“You’re impossible” you giggle “Good thing I love impossible”
Fred’s heart soars at that “Impossible needs an accomplice” he smirks “I’m lucky enough to have two”
You nuzzle into the side of his chest “We’re both lucky” you kiss through the material
“What was the…” he starts as he gently pulls your head back, getting lost in the way the low sun is hitting your face “What was the second thing” he finally gets out, a dusting of pink on his cheeks
“Oh” you bite your lip “Do we tell people or keep this to ourselves?”
His eyebrows knit “I forgot everyone else existed” he thinks for a moment “Maybe we say nothing for a little bit, enjoy the bliss for a bit before everyone, but especially our mothers, start planning the wedding”
“That’s a good point…our wedding will be ten times better than Bills though” you add
Fred grins “Oh yeah” the blanket falls off your shoulders as his arm moves up around your shoulders “Our wedding will be the best hands down little birdy”
You bite your lip smiling as you turn back to the sunrise “Are you tired?” you ask after a few seconds of suppressing your yawn
His shoulders relax “Yes” he falls into you a little “Wanna sleep here?” he asks
“You think I made this bed for nothing?”
“Morning” Sirius sings as he enters the house, letting out a laugh as he is met with James, Lily, Molly and Arthur sitting quietly around the dining table while the teens and young adults are sprawled out over the couches fast asleep “Did I miss the party already?”
James chuckles “Nah, we’ll get them some coffee andthey'll be good as new”
“Hello!” Remus smiles as he carries in his and his husbands’ cases in, looking fresh “How is everyone…” his words slow down into a chuckle as he sees the scene “Where’s pup?”
The four adults look over the couches, noticing you and Fred are missing, Molly and Lily share a subtle yet excited look
“I’ll go check on them, they got covered in mud last night and they probably stole the beds while everyone else was busy” James says with a smile standing up “You alright?” he checks looking towards Remus
“Grand...really” he assures him, a thankful look for asking on both his and Sirius’ face
James nods moving up the stairs, distantly hearing Lily telling Sirius he would not wake them up with water balloons and chuckling to himself when Molly actually agrees with his friend
“Merlin there are a lot of stairs” he puffs getting to the attic
He slowly opens the door to find both of the beds empty. Standing for a minute he looks a little baffled, scratching his neck before thinking maybe you took one of the beds downstairs. He was about to leave when he heard a small snore, pushing the door fully open he sees you and Fred cuddling on the window seat, a small blanket that had long fallen down draped over your tangled legs, your cheek squished up against his chest
James laughed quietly. Images of himself and Lily doing the same thing flashing through his mind, his heart warming that you did the same thing. He remembered when you found the photo, you were only 6, no real idea about love but you had your heart set on two things. Falling for your best friend like your uncle moony and pads, and when you found them you would make a bed by the window and watch the sunrise, sunset or just the stars, anything really
James did snap a photo, but he didn’t put it in the album with the others, no he was going to keep this one for yours and Fred's wedding, because let’s face it, everyone always knew you both were endgame
“You look after her for me” he whispers to Fred like his sleepy state will still hear his sweet seniment followed by his minor threat “Or the marauders will never stop hunting you” he smirks, lifting the blanket and covering you and Fred up again
He kisses your forehead before heading out, taking one last look before closing the door and heading back down the stairs
“They okay?” Lily asks as his foot hits the bottom step
He nods “Yeah just like I said they stole the beds now Thing 2 and Jess are down here” he gestures to the ginger and still rainbow haired girl
“They’re all in the same room?” Sirius asks “Thanks Molly you’re a gem” he thanks the women as she pours him some coffee
James nods “The twins…ginger twins” he clarifies, it was easy to forget you and Harry were twins sometimes “Jess and my little fawn are sharing the attic” he returns to his seat, kissing Lily’s cheek on the way down
“No funny business I hope”
Remus lets out a laugh at his husband statement “Siri love half of that room are happily in relationships, besides y/n is…” he's cut off
“Yes but Fred, the mini version of me, is single and not ready to mingle with our Goddaughter. She’s the closest thing to a real child we’ll ever get” he huffs before catching James and Lily’s amused faces “What? Harrys a mama and moony boy and y/n’s a daddies and uncle pads kinda gal” he smirks “Like you didn’t want to kill Fred in his final year when we found them all cosy on the couches together”
“Cosy?” Molly raises an eyebrow
Remus hums “Sort of, they fell asleep on the common room couches a couple times while staying up and planning pranks. Completely innocent…” Sirius scoffs “…it was, don’t mind him”
“I always assumed they were together” Arthur shrugs, he did the same with Ginny and Harry, ever since she saw them interacting he just assumed they’d get together…he’d pride himself in his matchmaking skills if he thought that wouldn’t upset his wife
Lily lets out a giggle while James keeps an impartial expression due to his new-found knowledge. It was true once upon a time he would have killed Fred for the position he just found the two of you in but over the years he got a first-hand view of yours and his relationship. Maybe even more so than either of you. Perhaps that’s why at first, he was apprehensive, he saw the way you looked at Fred, same quiet fire as Remus had when he looked at Sirius, and much like your uncles, you may have fallen first but Fred fell harder
“No way are they together” Sirius maintains shaking his head "Or will ever be because I'll kick his arse"
Remus catches James’ eye while Molly and Lily seem to be locked in a hushed discussion, a discussion the wolf could hear easily but choose to ignore
‘He’s just in denial’ he mouths with a smile
‘Deja vu’ James mouths back with a smirk before sipping his tea
You couldn’t wipe the smile off your face if you tried, skipping down the stairs as you headed to get food. Fred would have joined you but after some feverish kisses he needed a minute or ten to calm down. Reaching the bottom steps, you see George, Jess, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and your brother all lazily eating their breakfast with Molly, Arthur and your mum
“Hello pup”
You jump out of your skin as someone taps your sides from behind but relax instantly when you realise who it was “Uncle Pads!” you half jump into a hug, smiling brightly as you wrapped your arms around him
“Missed you too” he kisses your hair, pulling back to take a strand “This is cool, you and Jess are twining better than you and Harry”
“Well I always was the prettier twin” you grin earning a ‘hey’ from Harry followed by a teasingly casual ‘she’s right though’ from Ginny
Sirius chuckles at that, Harry may have looked like James, inherited some traits like an eye for getting into trouble, but you were all him, same humour everything. You also gained some things from himself and Remus, and as much as he was apprehensive the latters taste in partner
“That you are pup” he gives you one last hug before letting go
“Finally, stop hogging her” Remus’ voice comes from your side
You don’t run up to him instead look at him warily “Can I?” you hold out your arms, knowing he might still be sore from the moon
He gives you a warm smile “Course you can” he welcomes your embrace
The moon wasn’t a bad one, not when he had the potion and Sirius there to help. Although as he hugged you he felt like something was different, he just couldn’t place it. Your scent was off but he chalked it up to it being a holiday…oh or perhaps it was a certain redhead clinging to you
“Morning!” Fred greets everyone cheerily, while you hide your smile within your uncle’s chest
As he reaches the bottom he spots your uncles, a small tinge of red spreading up his neck as Sirius gives him a smile but there was a look behind it, while Remus just raised an eyebrow before smiling
“When did you arrive?” he wonders, voice cool, casual but Remus could hear his heart thumping and he smiled to himself as he heard it slow back down, relaxing as he met your eyes before quickly picking up again at the sound of his husband
“This mornin” he says, taking a seat beside Harry
“Sleep well?” George asks, taking a bite of his breakfast, smirking at his twin
Fred sends his brother a glare as he moves to sit with him while you and Remus take your seats on the opposite side
“Yeah really well” it wasn’t a lie, you bet his arse he had a great sleep after kissing the girl he loved more than any other
“What about you pup?” Remus asks whilst you serve yourself some breakfast
Your face felt a little warm but you kept your cool a lot better than Fred “Yeah, much better without Georgie’s snoring” you joke
“Cheeky” George eyes you
“His snoring is better than him constantly falling out of the bed” Jess chips in “Almost five times that first night alone”
“So that’s what that was” Ron turns to Hermione “You told me I was imagining it”
Hermione giggles at him “I didn’t say you imagined it I just said it was probably a door not a niffler trying to steal your stuff is all”
You whole table lets out chuckles at that “Frank had a niffler didn’t he?” Lily says after a few moments, looking towards James who smiles nervously “Oh what?” she giggles knowing that face
Your eyes go to your uncles, Sirius was holding laughter whilst Remus looked amused but a little pissed off “Yeah James why don’t you tell the class” Remus states
“Funny story” he starts and you place your hand over your lips to hold in the giggles, not noticing the red head across from you admiring how adorable it is “I was headed back from…Lily’s dorm…” he says earning ‘ooo’s’ and a low ‘awooo whooo’ from Sirius “When I spotted this cool looking rock on the floor so naturally I pick it up” he states to which Fred, George, Ron, Arthur and Harry all nod as if to say ‘naturally’ along with him while everyone else can already tell where this is going “I then proceeded to head into our dorms shower and placed the rock on the sink until I was finished but the moment it hit the ceramic it started to…crack open” he cringes
Lily gasps “Wait that’s why we could all hear yells?” she asks before giggles escape her lips along with everyone else
“The niffler did get into Peters bed and he fell out of it but really they were mostly my Moonys” Sirius adds smiling at his husband
Remus takes a deep breath “It was 6 in the morning on a Saturday and James flunking magical creatures smashed our mirror by throwing your hair cream at the poor little thing” everyone was in fits of laughter now, including Remus as he finishes
“I forgot about that...hey you never replaced it either! You owe me” Sirius points at James
“Sirius you don’t even use that brand of hair cream anymore” he tries to defend but Sirius holds his ground staring intensely until James gives up “Fine. Fine” he holds up his hands in defeat
“And I want it today”
“Today?!” James barks a laugh
“Yes, because I forgot to pack mine” Sirius maintains while Remus makes a couple of confused sounds
“Siri...I packed it in the small case?” he says almost like a question
“You did darling but I forgot the whole thing”
Remus looks like he’s going to argue before shrugging and excepting the behaviour he honestly isn’t surprised at anymore and instead turns to your father “James you mind grabbing two toothbrushes and some paste too”
“Yeah sure anyone else have things they’d like me to buy for them today?” he poses before quickly backtracking “Actually no, don’t answer that one I’ll go bankrupt”
There’s a small bit of laughter before you speak up “I could use some new shoes actually, I sort of ruined my last ones in the mud last night” you confes
"Thats why we said no shoes sis" Harry chuckles shaking his head along with the others while Fred just wears a funny smile
You stick your tounge out at Harry who does the same back befire you turn back to your dad "Can I dad? There's this pair with little birds on them I've wanted for a while" you say with a innocent smile but your father, mother and Harry all get the reference
“Course little fawn, you can come with me” he smiles before seeing his friends smirks to which he shrug with a laugh “What? She doesn’t count she’s always been too cute to say no too”
Guess we have that in common, Fred thinks as he catches your eye, although he does remember neither of you wearing shoes outside last night
‘you weren’t wearing shoes’ he mouths when everyone else is in conversation
You just smile with a small nod ‘I didn’t want him to go alone’ you whisper back even if it was only a half truth
Fred smiles at that, returning to his breakfast while you look up the table towards your dad, both of your eyes shining with the same thing
Mischief
