Ficlet: I Love You More
Title: I Love You More
Pairing: Affair HHR
Rating: PG13
She loves him. She does.
But she loves me more.
Most of the time, I am convinced this is a bit of good luck (or bad, depending on how you look at it).
Most of the time, I am convinced that if she had married me, and we had bills and dishes and kids and owls about T's in potions, she would love him more.
Most of the time, I am content in the knowledge that she loves me more, even if the intensity of our relationship is coincidental. I am happy for the chance to be with her without the pressures of marriage, of life.
But some of the time, I think, in the back of my mind where my most private thoughts reside, maybe it's not a coincidence. This place in my brain that rummages up these thoughts is the same place that sometimes looks at Rose in a certain light, and imagines she has my mother's eyes. Of course, this is absurd. My mother's eyes might be the most recognizable eyes in the Wizarding World. Surely everyone would notice.
Maybe if we had bills and dishes and kids and owls about T's in Potions, it would be perfect.
