hogwarts365's Prompt 28.
“How do you do it?”
Neville didn’t so much as pause in his weeding. The Venomous Tentacula was already quivering in its pot, waiting for him to let his guard down so that it could strike. He couldn’t let Harry distract him as the other man was trying (if not meaning) to.
“I mean, Blaise is away so often. Flitting off to who knows where to do who knows what with who knows who.”
“He’s a journalist. He usually spends his time asking leading questions and trying to find dirt on people,” Neville murmured. Any loud noises this close to the plant and he’d end up with a vine full of spikes to the face. Besides, it wasn’t like Harry was listening.
Snape had gone off to a potions conference and Harry had promptly started to go stir crazy. He missed him, he wanted him back, and as Neville was the only person he knew with any experience of long distances getting in the way of relationships, he had started to come to the greenhouses to rant in free periods. Neville loved him dearly, but he was beginning to miss the quiet.
“And even when he is in the country, you’re at Hogwarts. You’ve got classes and marking” – Neville couldn’t quite repress a shudder at the reminder, but soon turned it into a stern glare when the Tentacula shifted meaningfully – “and lesson planning.” Harry’s tone spoke of hours of pain and fire whiskey-soothed frustrations.
“I put my trust in a never-ending road that leads to my door,” Neville whispered, and this time it seemed like Harry heard him.
“What the hell does that even mean?” he asked.
“It means that Blaise travels. Not just for work, but because he enjoys it. It’s a part of who he is and I love him for it,” Neville replied, continuing to whisper his words and not sure whether he was trying to soothe Harry or the plant the most. “And because I love him, I trust him to always travel back to me – to make me his destination, no matter where in the world he goes.”
He stepped back slowly and vines relaxed. “Besides,” he said. “Mirror sex.”

It's very funny imagining Neville working on the plant and Harry complaining in the background xD
And then this: "And because I love him, I trust him to always travel back to me – to make me his destination, no matter where in the world he goes."
I was all AWWWWW and then saw the last sentence and all the swooning was gone and I went like "Omfg rofl" xD
So yeah, thanks for the laughter xD
