Summary: What better than a back rub to help Ginny with her sore back after a quidditch match?

Warnings: I can't think of any??? The fic is pretty much just a massage but let me know if you think of any.

You startle awake as a hand hits your face. Often times after a big quidditch match, Ginny has very vivid dreams where she moves a lot. You pull Ginny's hand away from your face and hold it close to your chest. It seems to be some sort of comfort to her as she stops moving a little.

You run a soothing hand down her arm to calm her down even more. Eventually her breath deepens, and you move your arm to her back and draw gentle circles while she continues to sleep.

When she finally wakes up she smiles faintly at you, still groggy. As she starts to take in her surroundings, she smiles a little wider as the sleepiness in her eyes is replaced with a bright and curious look. She seems really happy to see you, that is until she moves. You can see it, her shoulders are hiked up to her shoulders, her body is stiff, her toes curl as she realizes how sore she feels.

You instantly run a hand down her shoulder and she relaxes a little. "Turn around on your tummy and I'll give you a back rub." You whisper to her, getting right to the point.

She hums delightfully agreeing and slowly turns around. You hop out of bed and run to the bathroom. After a little rustling through bins you find your favourite massage cream. You rush back to bed and sit next to Ginny. "This is the full treatment, were using the expensive cream." You tell her enticingly, wiggling your eyebrows. Ginny giggles. The sound makes your heart swell and you can't help but join her. It feels nice to get her to smile when she's bummed about a match.

You push the cream out of the tube and rub it in between your hands to warm it up. You straddle her back and smear the cream from the top of her shoulders down to her sacrum. Ginny hums in encouragement. You can feel the knots in her shoulders just by sliding over her skin. You continue to run your hands up and down her back before applying any pressure. Eventually you feel her relax a little further into the mattress. You slide your hands upward from both sides of the bottom of her spine up to her shoulders, applying a little pressure.

You move to a knot near her shoulder blade and Ginny hisses. You instantly move away from the spot and start lower where there are less and smaller knots. You start to move your fingers in a clockwork motion working around a knot. Ginny mumbles a yes letting you know it's not hurting her. You press a little harder as you continue to make circles with you thumb. You patiently work at the knot until it dissipates and move to another. You get lost in the movements, trying different pressures, asking Ginny if she's okay and applying less or more pressure accordingly.

Once Ginny feels more relaxed you move to her shoulders. You move from the bottom of her shoulder blades, close to her spine and push up to the top of her shoulders and down her arms. Once you've adjusted the pressure to what feels comfortable for Ginny you work at the knots in her shoulders. You can hear her voice becoming more and more sleepy as she relaxes.

"Mmm I love you." She mumbles, voice quiet and weak. You lean down and to tuck your face into the crook of her neck. "I love you too." You can hear your smile in your voice. You can't help it. There's nothing cuter than a sleepy Ginny.

Finally satisfied with your work you slide off Ginny and settle next to her, pushing a strand of hair out of her face. You push yourself forward and plant a kiss on her forehead. You spot a smile tucked in the corner of her lips as you pull away. "You're so cute." You giggle, cupping her cheek. Her smile instantly widens and leans forward to kiss you for the first time that morning. You hum in the kiss, taking note of how soft her lips are.

Ginny lets herself fall back on the bed, eyelids heavy. "Your turn." She tries but her voice is so weak, so laced with exhaustion that you doubt she could even reach the massage cream. You watch her as her breaths deepen and she just looks so relaxed and so sleepy, you couldn't ask that of her. You kiss her temple and whisper "let's just say you owe me one."

She nods a little before wrapping you up in her arms and kissing you once more. She tucks her head into you neck and falls asleep instantly. You smile to yourself, tilting your chin down to see how peaceful she looks. You run your hands through her hair until the relaxing, repetitive movement makes you just as sleepy as Ginny. You drift off whispering one last "I love you."
