He’s all soft skin and an even softer smile, and Draco’s already wondering why they haven’t done this before. It wasn’t like he hadn’t spent good amounts of time fantasising about having sex with Ron—he most certainly had: mostly in the middle of the night, curtains closed, and a good silencing charm around his bed.

Usually, these fantasies involved ordinary fights in the middle of the hallway with harsh words and violence, then all of a sudden they rip at each other’s clothes, and then they’re fucking like they’ve done it one thousand times before. But that’s not how it happened.

It was awkward, really; and not in a cute sort of way. Ron had leaned over and—Merlin knows why—gently brushed his lips against Draco’s. Like any hormonal sixteen year old who was about to have his fantasy played out before his eyes, Draco reached out and forced Ron closer, deepening their kiss. But his intensity, his need, wasn’t enough to change Ron’s delicate kisses or to stifle that weird, embarrassed giggle that slipped past Ron’s lips as he slowly pulled away, just enough to meet Draco’s eyes.

And now here they are. Ron’s stretched out beneath Draco as if he has always belonged there, and maybe he has. His hands trail lightly through Draco’s hair and down the back of his neck, and he presses the softest of kisses against Draco’s cheek as they slowly rock together. It’s almost too good; all soft and sweet like this, and Draco isn’t sure if he likes it.

Afterward, Draco is trembling and Ron holds him tight, trailing lazy circles over Draco’s lower back with his fingertips. And maybe it wasn’t violent or rough, but suddenly Draco thinks that’s okay. Because he feels safe here, wrapped in Ron’s arms.
