Summary: Follow up for Involved. Ron continues to get ready for his date, while he argues with Harry trying to explain why he doesn't want more than friendship.
“Harry…” Ron paused for a long moment trying to think over what to say. “I never thought you felt this way about me. If I had known…”
“Then what?” Harry asked. They’d been standing awkwardly in the living room for a while after Harry had confessed to Ron that he wished to be involved. He was beginning to regret that decision. He knew that Ron didn’t feel that way about him, but how he could he not confess to Ron? He’d wanted Ron for so long and finally when he and Hermione and broken it off, Harry had been so happy. It meant a real opportunity for the two of them.
“You saw what happened between me and Hermione. We barely even talk and we’re nothing but cordial with each other-”
“You and I are not like you and Hermione,” Harry tried to argue. “You didn’t work out because you’re gay!”
“I know that, but the point is that we all were best friends and now she barely talks to us. I just don’t want the same to happen to us-”
“It won’t!” Harry said. He wasn’t sure of that but he was sure of how he felt about Ron.
“You can’t guarantee that!” Ron snapped.
“Ron, we can continue arguing about something that is set in the hypothetical, but that’s not real. We don’t live in a fantasy land where our stories start with Once upon a time…and end with happily ever after. I know how I feel, and I know what I want. I can’t watch you date bloke after bloke and have it not work out when I am right here. Looking at you-wanting you-”
“I don’t know what to say,” Ron replied and turned towards the Floo. Harry knew it was time for him to leave. The man he had a date with was going to come by the Floo Network and they were going to a restaurant that was near their flat. It was the same place Ron took all of his dates.
Harry hung is head low and turned to walk away.
“Just think about what I said; and don’t bring him back here tonight.”
