"Cleverer?" Ron scoffed. "Hermione, you get any cleverer and reality would collapse. The sky would fall. Your brains would be too big for you to fit through doors."
Hermione twisted her hands in her lap.
"But seriously," Ron said. "You were there. I mean-- you're the one who figured it out. We wouldn't have been able to do anything without you. And.." He shrugged, looking up at the ceiling. "That's what friends are for, right? We were there, so you were, too. It was all our fight. You know?" AU where Hermione is the Girl Who Lived. *gross sobbing*

"Yeah, there are. White's pretty standard though."
"But it's boring."
"They're towels." Crews blinked at her. "Please just pick a color."
"You don't have a preference?"
"Besides white?" He glared a little. She sighed, and pointed at the green ones. "Green."
"Sage green," corrected Crews. He closely inspected the sage green towels. "These aren't Egyptian cotton though. Do you want Egyptian cotton? It's nicer, fluffier. I like fluffy towels."
"They're towels," said Dani again. "We're in Target. They're all basically the same thing."
This earned her a disappointed look, but he grabbed a stack of the sage green towels and put them in the cart. When they got to the bedding aisle, she pointedly picked the sage green sheets, with a high thread count even, and Crews beamed at her. He disappeared into another aisle, and came back with throw pillows.
"For the couch," he said.
"You didn't have furniture for like, a year. Now you want throw pillows?" Crews nodded. Dani rolled her eyes, but left the throw pillows in the cart. Perfect trope executed perfectly. 30k words of Crews and Reese undercover married! Oh my heart! <333
