Part II Here


Apart Together – Part III

 

~^~

 

I close the door behind Hermione. Leaning my forehead against it, I swallow hard and choke back the wave of pain in my heart.

 

I’m really going to have to accept this. I’ve lost my Ron. I feel so hollow inside.

 

I try to convince myself to be thankful that he’s still alive and that he still seems to want to be my best friend.

 

I clench my jaw, grinding my teeth against the pain so he won’t see my sorrow when I turn around.

 

“I’m really sorry,” Ron says, and I realize that he’s standing right behind me.

 

“It’s all right,” I wish I could control the hitch in my voice.

 

“No, I mean, I’ll have to apologize to Hermione tomorrow.” He puts a hand on shoulder. “I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, but I wasn’t ready to say anything yet.”

 

He puts his other hand on my waist. I freeze and heart thuds to sudden halt.

 

I feel him move in close to me, his breath near my ear. My heart begins to pound and there is a rushing sound in my ears.

 

“Harry… I am scared of spiders. I will gladly accept all the gold in your vault, and I’m going to be having a chat with Charlie and Hermione.”

 

The world seems to tilt on its axis as I turn, desperately searching his eyes.

 

Ron?

 

“It’s me, Harry.”

 

It can’t be. I can feel a mild hysteria building inside of me.

 

“The spell worked?” My voice is higher than it should be. He nods, giving me a steady look.

 

“Yes, it worked.”

 

I reach for his face, but hesitate. He takes my hands and places them on his cheeks. “It’s ok. Touch me, Harry, I’m real.”

 

It can’t be.

 

“You remember? Everything? …Me?” The room seems to be spinning.

 

“I remember,” he says, stroking my cheek, “all of it. …Especially you.”

 

I grab him and pull him to me in a crushing embrace. “Oh, Ron.”

 

It can’t be. I can’t feel him. I’ve gone numb.

 

Then I feel boiling anger, as all the pain I’ve been carrying starts to well up again. Every minute of every day of the past weeks that I have had to bear all surge up in me at once.

 

I shove him away irrationally as it all begins to spill out. I pound on his chest with both fists, “you left me!”

 

“I didn’t.”

 

“You did! You were gone!” I pound against his chest again, and he steps into the blows, absorbing my anguish.

 

“And you stayed with me.” He moves so close, so confidently, so calm. He’s too close for me to strike him again but I still push against him. My breathing comes in great gasps, as I struggle to breath.

 

“You left me…”

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

The room is spinning, and blackness creeps into the edges of the vivid ginger and blue in front of me as the rushing sound in my ears increases and I feel my knees give way.

 

Holding me against him, we both collapse to the ground. He pulls me onto his lap and he leans against the door.

 

“Shh, it’s ok, Harry, I’ve got you,” I hear him say quietly over the pounding in my head. “I’m here now. I’ll never leave you again.”

 

~^~

 

We climb into bed from opposite sides like an old married couple. I feel perfectly ridiculous. He looks perfectly comfortable.

 

 One cheek twists into a grin and he tugs on the front of my tee shirt.

 

“Take this off,” he chides, with one eyebrow raised, and I quickly do as he asks.

 

We lay on our sides, pulling the blanket to our waists, facing one another. He props himself on one elbow and leans to kiss me while he rubs circles over my chest with the palm of his hand.

 

My mind struggles to accept that this is okay again, that I can touch his broad chest without worry.

 

He’s got no such reservation, as his mouth claims mine. His warm tongue patiently waits for mine to meet his with equal interest.

 

He touch is gentle and slow and for the first time I feel like this exploration isn’t just a means to a fuck.

 

I keep myself bent at the waist, and my knees pulled forward, though, I don’t want him to feel my arousal just yet. After all he’s been through he doesn’t need me acting like a randy sod who just wants to get off.

 

“Harry, would it make me a complete arse if, I want to, make –fuck …you,” he says clumsily, sounding only a little less desperate than I feel. I have to laugh with relief.

 

“You want to make fuck with me?” I mock him. “That’s sweet, Ron.” To which he pinches me, blushing.

 

“Well, I thought I should say make love, but that sounds sort of stupid, doesn’t it?”

 

“Out of your mouth, mate? Yeah, a bit.” I’m starting to feel my Ron again. This is really him.

 

“We don’t have to, yet. I know this has all been really hard on you,” he says, with sincerity, kissing my cheek.

 

“I can show you hard.” I press my cotton-covered wood against his.

 

“Oh thank Godric Gryffindor for your cock, Harry Potter,” Ron says as he grabs my arse and pulls me flush against him, wasting no more time in tugging my pajama bottoms off.

 

“You are gorgeous.” I’ll never buy into his praise of my cock compared to his, but he seems to believe what he says, and that’s enough for me.

 

After quickly kicking his own shorts off, we are finally naked, and stroking together and our kisses are deep and lusty.

 

His hand kneads my arse possessively and then runs down the back of my leg.

 

“My Seeker’s thighs,” he mutters in praise, bending my knee, pulling my leg over his hip. Leaving me feeling open and exposed.

 

I can barely breathe as he boldly reacquaints himself with my balls, rolling them in his hand and squeezing until it should hurt, but never does. He still knows how far he can push me.

 

“How, do you, want, to do this?” he mutters between sucking on my neck, and pulling our cocks together again.

 

“Want-you-in-me,” I tell him, sounding more wanton than I meant to. But it’s true, I’m desperate feel it again.

 

He looks around the room studiously, and then at me.

 

“Is it in the drawer?” he asks, nodding at the night table.

 

“Seemed like the logical place.” He grins at my embarrassment.

 

“Don’t move,” Ron instructs, pressing on my thigh that’s still hooked firmly over his hip. He bends back, reaching to open the drawer, giving me the glorious sight of his flexing stomach, and long taut arms stretching outward. His heavy cock, a shining drop of liquid-lust at the tip, strains towards me.

 

And how anyone does not adore freckles is beyond me.

 

When he faces me again, after retrieving the bottle from the drawer, I can’t keep myself off his freckles. I want to connect each one on his chest with my tongue.

 

“I love your skin,” I murmur, licking a pert, pink nipple and then I nearly bite him in shock when his slick fingers slide between my arse cheeks.

 

“Ow, Harry. Easy, love.”

 

“Sorry…. You surprised me there.”

 

“Oh, it’s been too long. You have to learn to relax again.”

 

So I try. His steady fingers rim around and around my hole until I’m no longer jumping in anticipation, but arching with desire.

 

He finally presses one fingers slowly into me, and I hold my breath. One is never enough and soon a second joins the first, and I gasp with the near perfection of it.

 

Yes…oh…” The sensation of Ron’s long, sure fingers is enough to have me whimpering already and but it’s still not enough.

 

He makes a satisfied sound in his throat that makes me open my eyes.

 

Fuck, he looks smug. But if making me whimper by twisting his fingers inside me makes him happy, I’ll never complain.

 

“Are you ready? I want you, need you now,” he groans. I can only nod in agreement.

 

His sudden removal of his fingers sends a shock wave down my spine, and I long to be filled again.

 

I move to roll over, but he pushes my shoulder back into the bed, keeping me from turning my back to him.

 

“Huh-uh,” he grunts, “I want to see you. I want to watch you when you come for me.”

 

With words like that it won’t take much.

 

He climbs over me and my heart is racing again and before I have time to anticipate it, Ron presses the head of his cock into me. I cry out, sounding far weaker than I would have wished to.

 

“Uhh, Harry …so perfect …fuck …so tight….” With each word he says, he pulls out and pushes in further again.

 

I cling to him, wrapping my arms and legs around him with all my strength. Feeling him so close, and deep inside of me. The feeling has made me remember all over again how lost I was without him. I can’t muffle the tearless sob that escapes me.

 

“Harry. My, Harry, it’s ok now.”

 

“Lost you.”

 

Found me.”

 

“Love you.”

 

Love you.”

 

There no more words. Only rocking, panting, and sweating.

 

He takes my hand, wrapping my fingers around my cock, and grunts in instruction to stroke.

 

“Won’t last,” he mutters through clenched teeth.

 

He’s right. I only stroke a few times when my balls tighten and send waves of heat radiating through me and right out of my cock. My body is so hot I can’t feel the warm drops that spurt onto my belly.

 

“Perfect,” he whispers above me.

 

He changes the pace of his hips into short, powerful thrusts, pushing my knees high and apart.

 

Guttural sounds are forced out of me with every powerful plunge he makes. I feel his balls slap against me when at last he throws his head back and snarls as he lets his release surge deep inside of me.

 

“Perfect together,” I whisper.

 

“Mm, perfect.”

 

“Never apart.”

 

“Never again.”

 

~^~

Oh, you are lucky you have posted both parts together - you would have been lynched if you had left Ron like that!!

Harry had been so strong, and his breakdown just broke my heart - perfect.

“Lost you.”

“Found me.”


I love you!!!

That was a really sexy Ron - you should use him again!

[identity profile] maple-mahogany.livejournal.com 2006-07-24 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I might use this Ron again sometime.

I was thinking that maybe things don't work out for Hermione and Charlie and she comes back to her boys and well, heh, heh.. what would you do if you were her?

Oh I'm desperately in love with this! My heart was breaking terribly for Harry all the way through, but when Ron FINALLY remembered, I nearly jumped with joy. And shed a few tears =].

So excellent!

[identity profile] maple-mahogany.livejournal.com 2006-07-24 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so glad! Thrilled to pieces that you enjoyed it! :)

The first two parts almost broke my heart.. Harry losing his Ron.. but this was great! so sweet... sexy!

Nothing cures a broken heart better than Harry/Ron lovin'!

Thank you!

[identity profile] the-mystic-rain.livejournal.com 2006-07-24 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
oh that was fantastic!! Though it was heart breaking at times,I'm so glad everything worked out in the end. You had me to me very worried Ron would never recover. But you know what? it seemed to me that even if he didn't regain his memory, he would have fallen in love with Harry again. Really great job with this one. I've been out of town for the past few weeks, and was going through H/R withdrawal, this was very well written and exactly what I needed.

[identity profile] maple-mahogany.livejournal.com 2006-07-24 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm honored, thank you. There has been some really excellent Harry/Ron lately.

I think Ron would fall in love with Harry again, I would!

I love how you waited till Harmione was gone before Ron told Harry he remembered.

I love your happy ending.

I am a firm believer in happy endings! I feel like it's been a waste of time otherwise.

My Harry and Ron will never, ever die. :)

[identity profile] booneda.livejournal.com 2006-07-24 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I've got to admit, when the spell didn't work the second time (or so it appeared), I was heart-broken. I was honestly about to cry.

Wonderful job!

[identity profile] maple-mahogany.livejournal.com 2006-07-24 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee. I thought that would be a little bit of cliffie, but I didn't expect to get such a reaction on that. hee.

Thank you very much!

Who wouldn't want to make fuck with him??

I'm in line right after Harry and Shocolate.

Thank you!

who couldn't adore freckles after all that!

and the tearless sob.... i think i may have echoed it.

beautiful ending.

Did you really?

Oh that thrills me. He really missed him!

[identity profile] dream-wia-dream.livejournal.com 2006-07-24 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
oh my.
Simply beautiful. my original intent was go thru and tell you everything I loved...And I was ending up quoting the entire thing. I was so happy you posted Part III at the same time. I know you told me it ended up happy. But I was crying at the end of the second part. Harry was just so...he took care of his Ron even though his heart was breaking.
Lovely.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you.

Eeps. Thank you so much!

You didn't really think I'd leave Harry without his Wheezy did you? hee.

I'm so glad you liked! Yay! :)

Yay maple! That was perfect. You should do more cruel twists, they really do make the happy/beautiful moments even more so.

Sweetest Ron Ever!

I can only make my cruelty last for a chapter or so, I just can't stand it. I like the reconciliation too much!

Ron really was proud of his Harry. :)

I knew you wouldn't let mw down and let the spell fail again!
There is just not a more happier ending then teh hot!boy sex!

I would like to second two motions---I, too, would like to thank Godric Gryffindor for Harry's cock (although, I'm pretty sre that coul acccrdited to James), and I agrees, you'd have to be completely mental not to adore--no worship freckles!

[identity profile] maple-mahogany.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! Yes, I thought the same thing, but I thought it would just be wrong to mention James in the middle of Harry/Ron sex (I don't write those kinds of fics *snort*)

All hail Harry's cock and Ron's freckles!

[identity profile] autumnrosey.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Damn your good! I love that he wanted Harry to know that he was back first. Oh and by the way...they shaving...mercy me! I adored this. Wonderful job my dear!

You can't resist the Harry/Ron can you? Aren't they wonderful?

The shaving... wouldn't you just want to watch that? It looks good in the movie version in my head. :)

Oh my heart! I don't know why I thought part II was the last part so when the spell did not worked...oh it was too much.

I close the door behind Hermione. Leaning my forehead against it, I swallow hard and choke back the wave of pain in my heart.

I’m really going to have to accept this. I’ve lost my Ron. I feel so hollow inside.

I was sobbing like a baby, it was really heartbreaking

And Harry's breakdown, and the make up. Oh so perfect.
Harry and Ron are just too perfect together, too perfect. And your Ron is oh so great.

[identity profile] maple-mahogany.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, you are so sweet. I'm honored. I just love them, that's all, just love them.

Poor Harry, he has to have a little bit of emo! before getting it out of his system. Ron is always great.
Thank you!!!

[identity profile] hardticket.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Holding me against him, we both collapse to the ground. He pulls me onto his lap and he leans against the door.
Shh, it’s ok, Harry, I’ve got you,” I hear him say quietly over the pounding in my head. “I’m here now. I’ll never leave you again.”

Ok, you made me tear up. Only one other fic has ever done that before.

I love this more than chocolate and that is saying something.

Wonderful, wonderful! I'm so glad I didn't read until you'd posted the whole thing though: the pain would have been too much. And I loved Harry's being angry at Ron for leaving. I never would have thought to do it, but it was very right.

[identity profile] maple-mahogany.livejournal.com 2006-07-28 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't actually have Harry's breakdown planned ahead, but once I got there it just came out that way. Seemed natural and very 'harry' to me.

Thank you so much - your particular insight is always fun to get! ;)

When Harry and Ron collapsed on the floor, I could almost feel my knees giving out too. And I cried and laughed and... You almost had me trying to throw my computer out the window when I thought it hadn't worked. You are so perfect. I wish that I could lock you up and get you to write Harry/Ron for me. *sigh* I wish I could write that good. Well I can't wait to see what happens with Herms and Charlie. *hint,hint,wink,wink* Love ya lots.

Oh my, best thing anyone has every said to me! Heh. You must get out and read more Harry/Ron though, I am very new to writing them, and many lovely ladies forged the path before me and I just fangirl behind them.

Write Hermione/Charlie?... well, never say never, but I can't imagine writing it myself. I think this was as close as it gets. hee.

I really appreciate the R&R!

This is really good. You've captured the beauty of Harry's love for Ron so well with this story. Cruel angst makes for a great story.

“You left me…” “I’m sorry.”
This brought the first tear.

“Shh, it’s ok, Harry, I’ve got you,” I hear him say quietly over the pounding in my head. “I’m here now. I’ll never leave you again.”
This brought several more.

“Oh thank Godric Gryffindor for your cock, Harry Potter,”
Great line! And I sure do!

“You are gorgeous.” I’ll never buy into his praise of my cock compared to his, but he seems to believe what he says, and that’s enough for me.
I'm glad he believes it!

Oh yeah, the sex. WAY HOT. It's realistic. You understand guys and our parts. Way cool.

Hi Maple,
I'm slowly working my way through your fics while waiting for the next chapter of "Within You, Without You". I fell in love with teh Harry/Ron over at shocolate's, so I was so glad to find "Apart Together". It was so, so beautiful. The shaving scene, guh! So sensual. And such great tension between them right up til the end. I just wanted to see that light go off in Ron's eyes so badly, that he remembered his Harry. Thanks for a great story.

[identity profile] fics-by-maple.livejournal.com 2006-09-10 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi Lisarene! Thank you so much for reading - I'm thrilled.

Harry and Ron are virtually canon aren't they? It's not hard to fall in love with them.

I was so nervous about the shaving scene. In my head it was sexy, but I just didn't know if I could put it into words. I'm so glad that you liked that part. :D

I really appreciate hearing your thoughts!
