ron showed his love differently than most people
he wasn’t good with words and he sometimes had a hard time showing affection
but he loved, god did he love
he grew up with 6 siblings, each their own person, he had to learn to love differently
bill loved in an old way, he wrote them letters and gave them old books. he sat down and did their hair, helped with homework. he taught him to ride a broom and how to treat people with respect. he constantly checked up on his siblings and made sure they were okay.
charlie loved loudly. he sent postcards and magical trinkets. he came barreling into the burrow and scooped them into his arms. he ruffled their hair and shouted how proud he was of them. he left traces of magic and love everywhere he stepped. he was their biggest fan.
percy loved quietly. he stood back and observed, made sure everyting was okay. kept them out of trouble, followed the rules so he could make their punishments less severe. cleaned up after them, ordered food for the younger ones, taught himself how to be responsible so he could be there for them.
the twins loved playfully. the played pranks and made fun. they stole their books and hid their wands. they ridiculed their taste in fashion and hexed their favorite toys into dancing. the laughed loudly at all jokes, the paid close attention to whoever was speaking. they tuned in to their likes and dislikes and made sure nobody disrespected them.
ginny loved protectively. she hugged and held. she stood infront of and yelled. she learned to be mean so that nobody would try to hurt them. she supported and encouraged anything and everything. she knew how to push limits and take a step back. she made sure they were all comfortable.
and ron? well ron just loved.
he was always a bit insecure. thinking maybe h wasn’t doing it right. everyone made it seem so easy, and ron didn’t want to mess up.
but ron loved, so hard.
ron picked up a pair of earrings he thought bill would like and left him in his older brothers room
ron took the time to learn all about the different types of dragons and how to care for them so he could keep a conversation with charlie about something that made his brothers eyes light up
ron tried to stay out of trouble since he knew percy was always there to get him out of it, but it put more stress on his brother
ron gladly let the twins play new pranks on him and mess up his clothes and hex his hair blue because they laughs it got out of everyone, especially the two who tended to go off on their own, it made them feel closer
ron played quidditch at ungodly hours with ginny because he knew how much the sport meant to her, and that was worth getting only 2 hours of sleep and having bruises for the next week
ron stood by his brothers side when he came out as bisexual, smiling gand hugging him, saying he was so proud
ron stayed up late with the twins, letting them share out their fears and insecurities, calming them with words of “youre still my brothers, that’s enough”
ron cried when charlie decided to leave home but helped his brother pack and let him excitedly talk about how happy he was going to be, and just smiled and sid “you better write”
ron understood why percy chose the ministry and was not mad nor angry, he knew his brother was just trying to save them, to fight for what he believed would help them all get out, he stood up for him and said he was brave
he cheered for ginny when she admitted to being in love with his best friend, he was not jealous or upset, he pulled them both into a hug and smiled because “you deserve love”
ron left their favorite candy on the kitchen table
ron purposely let them pick their favorite movies
ron went out of his way to find books and plants and trinkets of all sorts that he thought they would enjoy
ron saw stars and art and heard music and seen sunrises and thought of them
ron made hot chocolate, each sibling liking their different, every christmas morning
ron hated cleaning but would organize the mess incase one of his siblings got frustrated from it
ron liked looking at the snow rather than playing in it but never once failed to join his family outside
ron wrote letters to his brothers when they were away and attached small drawings and enchantments that reminded him of them
ron got overwhelmed easily and hated noise and movement but he still would prefer to be in his brothers company tha anyone else’s
ron was terrible at cooking but helped ginny bake for harry’s birthday and even took the blame when things turned out horrid
ron wasn’t sure if he was loving correctly, he didn’t hug or shout, he didn’t comfort that well and he was bad at a lot of things
but ron loved. and that, wether he knew it or not, was the best thing he could do.
