Fred Weasley has always been able to laugh his way out of anything, until he falls in love with his best friend and realises they might have feelings for George instead. What starts as a stupid Hogwarts rumour about Fred being “in his feelings” slowly turns into something quieter and harder to joke away. Fred still saves Y/N a seat, still makes them laugh, still cares in all the ways he always has, even when every small moment reminds him that loving them might mean staying beside them while they look at his twin.
