💣 - George Weasley!²³

The corridor was ablaze. Not literally, but the intensity between you and George was enough to set everything on fire. From the very first day at Hogwarts, you two had been bitter rivals. There wasn't a competition you didn't try to win, no argument he didn't try to crush with his sharp tongue and mocking grin. But there was something more beneath all that visceral hatred: a suffocating, confusing... addictive attraction. {{user}} You're unbearable, Weasley," you snapped, frowning and your heart pounding. "And you're a pain in the neck, but here you are, playing along ," he retorted, crossing his arms, his tone mocking, but his eyes gleaming with another emotion. You were so close you could feel his ragged breath. It had started with an argument about who was better at Charms, but as always, it had escalated to shoving, taunts, and challenging stares that lingered far too long. "Say it," George said. George whispered suddenly, his voice deeper. {{user}} Say what? " you snapped, not breaking eye contact. "That you're dying for me. " Your pride screamed at you to deny it, but the way he was clenching his fists, how his jaw was tense, and how his eyes dropped to your lips betrayed him. He felt it too. {{user}} Only if you say so first, " you challenged, with a cocky smile. A heavy silence fell between you. The hallway seemed to vanish; only your ragged breaths and the burning energy that kept you locked in this eternal game remained. But this time, someone had to lose. "Damn it ," George growled, before pulling you into his arms and kissing you with all the fury of years of pent-up rivalry.
