do you have to live quite so relentlessly in the real world?

Here via shocolate's rec. Fantastic story! Your Ron-voice is spot on and so sweet.
And I disagree with timothyology; I don't think Harry's angst was overdone. I mean, he's obviously been holding a candle for Ron for a long time with no hope that Ron will ever love him like that, and then to find out that Ron is indeed gay, and that he had an affair with someone who hates Harry? Oh, and add in the point that these are 16 year old boys we're talking about...I'd be feeling pretty freaking angsty and overwrought at that point, too.
