Summary: Neville and Charlie talk.

When Charlie came home later in the day, after having a talk with Ron about the misunderstanding, Neville didn't get the chance to discuss it with him. He'd been worried sick, and he knew he shouldn't have let Charlie go alone to talk to his brother, but he'd been dumb enough to completely panic at Ron's alarm.

Charlie had been true to his word. He'd come into his bedroom, found Neville on the bed, naked as it'd been requested, and pounced on him.

It wasn't until later on, when Neville was in the kitchen making a sandwich, and Charlie had come out of the shower, he was able to ask.

"How'd it go with Ron?"

Charlie smiled softly, wrapping an arm around Neville's shoulder, and kissing him on the cheek. Naturally, right after he took a bite of Neville's sandwich. "It went fine. He knew he was overreacting but given the situation-I mean, he's fine."

"There's something you're not telling me." Neville turned around to look at Charlie who was still in his towel, his hair tousled and wet, and Neville nearly forgot to breathe. He knew, just knew they were going to have a go against the kitchen counter. It's why Charlie had come out looking like that. He loved teasing Neville.

Charlie simply shrugged his response.

"You know I hate it when you do that."

"Do what?"

"Act like something's not a big deal when it is."

"I didn't know we were at that phase where you can read me and find things annoying," Charlie said with a smirk.

"And you're deterring the topic." Neville had half-a-mind to tell Charlie what he could do with that smile of his but refrained. He wanted to know what Charlie was hiding before he'd encourage him to do something else entirely.

"We were out shopping for an engagement ring for Hermione; that's why he flipped out and read the situation wrong. He's fine now. I told him about us too, so you know, it's really okay."

"Oh. Why didn't you just tell me so?"

Charlie shrugged again. "With Blaise and Ginny getting married this summer, Hermione and Ron getting engaged soon, I just...I'm just nervous." next part: miscommunication
