"It's fine," she reassured him. "You were sticking up for me, and I appreciate that. As for the room, I don't know...you've helped me out a lot, already, Fred. I would feel bad imposing on you."
Standing up for her like he had was already more than most of her boyfriends had ever done, but she didn't want to fall too hard for Fred. She didn't know how she'd handle it when he let her down, too. It wasn't that she thought he'd let her down intentionally, but it was bound to happen, anyway. It always did.

"As long as you don't mind having to see my beautiful face everyday, and have to deal with poor Georgie's ear-yness, you would not impose on us at all! I'm sure Georgie would be fine with it, but I'll check with him later," Fred said with a smile, "He's at the Burrow right now, getting all healed up with Mum, probably ear-ked about all her fawning over him." Ear puns prevail again!
Really, he didn't mind, she was his girlfriend, and he hoped they would get to the point where they would move in together anyways. He really, really, did like her a lot, and hoped that she liked him just as much, maybe more than he did of her.

"I'm guessing that the ear puns are also part of the deal," she noted dryly. "And are you sure? That landlady's always drinking; I'm sure that I could talk her into letting me stay. That's not even the worse thing that's happened around here since I've moved in!"
As much as she liked Fred (and she really did like him a lot, to the point that it scared her), she didn't want to get too close too soon. She was worried that he'd realize that he didn't like her as much as he thought he did, and then she'd be alone again. That was probably her greatest fear...she didn't want to be alone. Not that she'd ever admit to that!

"Oh yes, be prepared for all the ear puns in the world," Fred snickered, before adding, seriously, "I don't mind at all! Especially if it means you don't have to live here, where there are things that are happening that are worse than a guy pestering you about being a whore."
Fred was pretty sure that unless she turned Death Eater or betrayed him, he'd probably stay with her. He couldn't think of anything else that would break them up. Well, if she tried to change him, or if she was really mean to George (which he doubted since Lisa and George were friends too).

"In defense of this boarding house, it's not the worst place I've ever lived. It's actually up there as one of the nicer ones," she mused, wondering if that meant that she always wound up living where she shouldn't.
In her experiences, relationships always ended for one reason or another. Granted, her parents were still together (and miserable), but that didn't say much. She always wound up not living up to the expectations of her partner and having them break up with her.

"It's not?" Fred questioned his eyebrows raising slightly in surprise, "Then it's settled! You must come live with me. It'll be a lot better than here or many other places!" And Fred did think that it mean that she always wound up living where she shouldn't.
Fred didn't really have too many expectations of her. He just wanted her to be just like she was with him. He didn't expect her to be overly cheery or laugh at all of his jokes. He wanted her to just be her, and that was the only thing he wanted her to be.

"Nope, it's not. It's actually nicer than my childhood home," she noted. "There was a big hole in one of the walls that Jak and I had to cover with a curtain; we also had to mop up a lot of snow come winter."
It had gotten really freaking cold in the winter. Lisa and Jak had wound up huddling together for warmth a lot while their parents were out drinking the money that could've been used to fix the hole. She was glad that both of them had left home.

"Damn," Fred almost flinched, expecting someone to yell at him for saying Damn, almost forgetting his mum wasn't around to yell at him for his language, "I promise that would never happen in George and my place!"
He really hated that she had grown up in such a terrible environment. She was such a good person, and didn't deserve such a terrible upbringing. He wanted to make sure she didn't have to live like that ever again.

"I wouldn't expect it to. You and George are very different from my parents," she replied. "You don't put more of a focus on alchohol than the condition of your home, for starters."
She hated the place she grew up in, and she would never feel bad about leaving. She was aware of the fact that the work-ethic and beliefs-set that she had were probably the results of growing up there, though, so she couldn't say that she resented it....well, not entirely. She definitely resented the criss-crossing scars that covered her back, arms and legs. And she also definitely resented the lack of care her parents had shown her and Jak.

"That's cuz we're just that great," Fred replied with a smile, doing a cheesy little jump, punching his fist in the air, "See if you live with us, you'll have all the fun in the world!"
Fred didn't know that she didn't really resent growing up where she did, but it didn't matter anymore. That was the past. This is now. He couldn't change the past, but he could try to change the future.

"You'd better be careful doing that," she teased. "You'll hurt yourself one of these days."
She didn't...really mind that she was moving in with him. She probably should have; they had only just started dating, but she couldn't make herself. This was Fred, after all. She'd known Fred for a long time before they became boyfriend and girlfriend. So, it wasn't so bad that he was the one that took her in. She liked him...a lot more than she wanted to admit to herself, actually.

"Well if I do, then you might have to be my personal nurse," Fred snickered happily,"Oh, well, if that actually is the case, actually, I might have to injure myself on purpose."
Fred was really happy she was moving in. Not because they were together, but because she was a pretty good friend, even if they hadn't seen each other for about 4 or 5 years. Fred really liked her, as a friend, and romantically of course. She was cool. She was his friend. Her moving in had nothing to do with the fact they were dating. He would offer it, even if they weren't dating.

"You're a goof-ball," she scoffed. "H-hey! Don't do that!"
She pouted at him then turned away to eye her things. Most of what she owned was old and worn. A lot of her clothes had been crudely patched and were large on her, even now that she was an adult. Oh, well. It was what little she owned. At least she had clothes. It could be worse.

"I try," Fred replied with a laugh, "But then you won't be my personal nurse! And you as my personal nurse sounds really fun."
Fred placed an arm around her shoulders and looked her stuff too. He didn't know why, but he kissed her head. He was used to worn old baggy hand-me-downs, though lately he and George were able to get good close because of their success. Maybe, she would be able to earn enough working for them to do the same, or something.

"You have some pretty strange fantasies," she scoffed. "The only person I'm used to "nursing" besides myself is my sister, and that's only if she got sick."
Mostly because Jak refused to let her help her otherwise. Stubborn little brat...
She blushed faintly when he kissed the side of her head. She'd had boyfriends before, but she still got kind of shy about it. She was in Hufflepuff for a reason! She had her shy moments!
