A/N: Unbetaed. Part 30 of "Fluff Adorableness" (ao3 link) (DW LINK)
Charlie waited-patient as ever. He was used to dealing with dragons so a flustered Neville Longbottom wasn't going to get the best of him. It was clear there were things Neville was hesitant about and as Charlie watched Neville's face wondering why he was holding back, he knew he had to be patient once again.
"I told you before…" Neville said quietly. "I'm not good at the relationship bit. I can't give you what you might be looking for."
"And what's that?" asked Charlie.
"I don't know," replied Neville. "I don't know what you want from me. A casual fling? Totally not possible and more…? I know it's all fun and cute I'm a full time Herbologist and a part time Animgus but it hasn't worked out so well in the past for me. My relationships don't last long because my partners eventually want me to stop spending so much time with children and with Draco."
"Draco?" Charlie asked, slightly confused. "I thought you two were just friends?"
"Yeah and Harry trusts how we spend time together. We often go for runs and sometimes we're gone for hours… Eventually they all ask for us to stop. If we had more Animagi friends it would be different… but my lifestyle choices are not for everyone. So sure, I can stand here and tell you I fancy you. I can stand here and tell you I've had a crush on you for ages but where is that going to lead us? A few holiday kisses until you too want me to stop being me? Want me to stop denying my life choices and my friendships and-"
"Isn't assuming much if you're going to simply assume what I'll say to you?"
"Everyone says the same things, Charlie."
"Well, Neville. I'm not everyone." This entry was originally posted at https://digthewriter.dreamwidth.org/821036.html. Thanks for reading
