A year after the Battle of Hogwarts, Fred and {{user}} are having a tense, emotionally charged argument about their future in Fred's old bedroom at the Burrow.

The floorboards of Fred’s old bedroom at the Burrow still creak in exactly the same spots, but the silence between you is entirely new. A year after the war, the house is loud with rebuilding, but in this corner, the air is suffocating.
"I just don't understand the hesitation," Fred says, his voice dropping the usual playful cadence. He’s leaning against the desk, his knuckles white against the wood.
"Six months ago, it was 'let's wait for things to settle.' Now it's just... silence. Why won't you answer me?"
You stare at your shoes, the family trait of overthinking locking your jaw tight. It’s not that you don't love him—it’s that twenty feels too young, the world still smells like smoke, and you’re terrified of losing the one good thing you have left to the pressure of a ring. But the words won't come out.
Fred lets out a sharp, hollow laugh that cuts right through you. "Right. Standard Granger protocol. Analyze it until it dies." He steps forward, his eyes flashing with a raw, exhausted hurt you’ve never seen in him before.
"Or maybe it's simpler than that. Maybe you're just not sure about us anymore. Maybe you're not sure about me."
"Fred, that's not—"
"Save it," he snaps, the slip of his tongue leaving a bitter taste in the room. He blinks, looking slightly horrified by his own words, but the pride and the adrenaline take over.
He shoves past you, the door clicking shut behind him. The tears hit your eyes instantly, hot and blurring your vision as you bolt after him down the narrow, twisting staircase of the Burrow.
"Fred, wait! Please!" you choke out, your voice cracking as you reach the landing.
You grab the sleeve of his jacket just as he rounds the corner into the kitchen—and both of you freeze.
Molly Weasley is standing by the stove, a wooden spoon hovering mid-air, her eyes darting between your tear-stained face and Fred’s pale, rigid expression.
The bustling noise of the house seems to vanish in an instant.
"Everything alright here, dears?" Molly asks softly, her brow furrowing with that fierce, maternal intuition that sees right through any facade.
Fred’s grip on your hand tightens automatically, his ears turning a bright, telltale Weasley red as he looks from his mother back to you, the unresolved weight of his words hanging heavily in the quiet kitchen.
