Playing Hooky Pt 2
Harry led her over to the couch and took a seat, keeping her hand in his. âWeâve had a busy few days, lovey. Could use some time to rest up.â
Lily plopped down next to Harry, tucking her feet up on the cushions, and then rested her chin on his shoulder. âWe have. Feels like itâs been non-stop since we got back from our trip.â Youâd think it would feel calm after the year theyâd had with Harryâs school and planning a wedding, but they were still busy. Even if it wasnât quite as much as before.
Harry slid his arm around Lilyâs waist and nodded looking down at her. âThatâs true. I am very much enjoying this time right now with you, though⊠after all the wedding stress, before any house or kid stress,â he smiled softly.
Lily closed her eyes for a moment and hummed softly. âI definitely want to enjoy our marriage before the next step longer than we did engagement to wedding,â she admitted. If house wasnât too stressful, sheâd like to get out of the apartment, but sheâd also be okay being there for a bit longer. âGrantedâŠâ she opened her eyes. âI donât think I couldâve waited a second longer to marry you. Just maybe shouldnât have put so much on our plates at once.â
Harry nodded and laid his head against the back of the couch. âYeah⊠that was a lot, with school and everything.â He was more than relieved to have that stress over with.
Lily slid her arm around Harryâs waist and gently stroked her hand along his side. âStill insanely proud of you. Always will be,â she murmured. It hadnât been easy for either of them, but Lily wasnât having to do school work like Harry.
âThank you. And Iâll always appreciate you putting up with me and all that stress,â he gave a soft smile and leaned closer for a kiss. âLove you.â
Lily knew they could go back and forth taking blame and excusing each other (even after all these months), so she didnât even bother. She just tilted her head up to give him a sweet kiss and murmured, âLove you always.â
Harry cupped Lilyâs face to give her a few more quick kisses. He moved to lay down and pulled Lily against him, arms going around her waist. âMy lovey is the best.â
Lily let out a small noise of surprise whenever Harry shifted them, laughing a little as she properly adjusted so they could both be comfortable. âMmmâŠso is mine,â she hummed happily, snuggling up against his chest.
Harry grinned, kissing the top of Lilyâs head once she got settled and holding her close against him. âIâll happily take some cuddle time with you.â
Lily just nuzzled her face deeper into Harryâs chest, letting her eyes close. âWeâre always down for cuddle time,â she agreed. After a few moments, she spoke up again. âIf you want to turn something on, you can.â
Harry laid his head back against one of the pillows, rubbing along Lilyâs lower back. âMaybe in a little bit. Unless you want something on,â he spoke softly, eyes closing as well.
Lily peeked up at him and smiled to herself, her body sinking into Harryâs at his touch. âIâm good,â she assured him. Clearly neither of them wanted to move now that theyâd gotten so comfy.
Harry nodded, giving a small smile when he was able to tell Lilyâs eyes were on him, despite his being closed. This alone made taking off of work worth it.
Lilyâs smile just grew and she leaned up enough to place a kiss to his chin before settling back against his chest. Sheâd be more than content to nap here in his arms.
Harryâs fingers rubbed along Lilyâs back mindlessly, giving one more quick kiss to the top of her head before he was settling back again. He was admittedly tired after an already busy morning and afternoon, plus it was always nice to catch up on rest after the early mornings they had to be up for work usually.
Lily started to doze, but then jerked a little. âMmm,â she groaned. âFeel like I shouldnât nap or Iâll struggle to sleep tonight, butâŠyouâre just so comfy.â
Harry smiled softly and opened his eyes to look down at Lily when she spoke, raising his hand to brush her hair behind her ear. âWe could put something on? Donât know if thatâll help keep us awake?â
âWeâre so horrible at watching stuff, but maybe,â Lily allowed. She shifted her head so she could look at the TV. Either way it would be hard with Harryâs warmth pressed against her.
Harry laughed and sat up just the slightest so he could reach over and grab the tv remote. âYou could also just take a nap, lovey⊠a bath and more cuddles might not make it so difficult falling asleep again later,â he suggested softly, turning the tv on but lowering the volume in case she took up his offer.
Lily ran the tips of her fingers through his chest hair as she watched Harry choose something. âWeâll see,â she allowed, not making a promise either way. Finn decided he wanted in on the cuddles for his own nap and hopped up to settle by their feet.
Harry picked a show that they both liked and have seen before, so they didnât need to pay attention if they didnât want to. âFinny⊠got enough room down there?â he grinned, âGonna have to add a bigger couch to our need to buy list.â
Lily glanced down at their feet before looking up at Harry with slightly wide eyes. âBigger couch? How much bigger can you get?â she laughed a little. âItâs not like this one is small.â
Harry laughed softly, shifting his feet a bit so Finn had enough room. âMy Finny needs all the room he can get. He requests a bigger couch.â
âOh, wellâŠcanât deny your Finny of such things, can we?â Lily played along, an amused smile tugging at her lips. They had quite the list for this future house of theirs. Hopefully they could find one big enough to fit it all.
âOf course not. Thatâs the deal he and I made when he moved in.â Harry grinned, running his hand along her side. Only they could be this ridiculous together.
âAre we sure my Harry doesnât just want a new couch?â Lily teased. âDonât see whatâs wrong with this one. I think itâs served us pretty well.â
Harry laughed softly. âNo, I think this one is nice⊠just thought for cuddling purposes, is all,â he teased with a grin. This couch was still perfectly fine.
âNice,â Lily repeated. âThink Finny has been fine for plenty of cuddles on this couch.â Harry knew she was messing with him and playing devilâs advocate. And itâs not like Finn could pick sides really.
âYou know, heâs just always looking to upgrade⊠always looking for the next best thing out there,â he played along, âHeâs hip like that.â
Lily snorted and just hid her face in Harryâs chest. âOh, my love,â she mumbled with a giggle. âWhat have I signed myself up for?â
Harry smiled even more, looking down at Lily the best he could in their positions. âA very entertaining lifetime with your two favorite guys,â he laughed softly.
Lily lifted her head and propped herself up a little. She couldnât even hide her adoring smile if she wanted to. âAnd to thinkâŠI willingly chose both of you,â she joked.
Harry laughed, brows raising along with the surprised expression he made upon hearing her. âHey!â he grinned, only acting offended, âHow dare youâŠâ
Lily laughed and quickly reached up to cup his face and kiss him. âShhh,â she shushed gently, lips still brushing his. âBest choice I ever made. Promise.â Sheâd honestly won the lottery with both Harry and Finn.
Harry laughed a little into the kiss but didnât hesitate to return it. âI canât believe youâre kissing me to shut me up⊠you know my weaknesses,â he grinned.
Lily just smiled even wider, giving him a few more kisses for good measure. âIâd sure hope so after all these years.â And he sure knew hers and used it to his advantage constantly. That was how heâd gotten her to take today off after all.
Harry grinned and returned each kiss without hesitation. âI suppose weâre just perfect for each otherâŠâ he hummed softly, giving her another kiss.
Lily just merely nodded, too distracted by Harryâs kisses. She shouldâve known this would happen once she gave him the first, but even after all these years she apparently hadnât learned.
Harry smiled against Lilyâs lips and brought his hands up to gently cup her face in them. Heâd give her as many kisses as sheâd let him, always getting carried away.
Lily melted into him when he held her face. She was an absolute sucker for her Harry and they both knew it. âLove you,â she mumbled, barely audible.
Harry welcomed Lily as close as he could get her, always. âI love you,â he smiled lightly against her lips, having no problem giving her one kiss right after another.
Lily grinned as she continued to kiss him back. âI donât think weâre gonna stop,â she laughed.
Harry laughed a bit. Once they got started, it was the most difficult thing for them to pull apart from each other. âDo you want to stop?â he pulled back slightly to raise a brow at her.
Lilyâs smile faded when Harry pulled away and she subconsciously followed him, even shifting further up his body to reach him better. âNo,â she whined a little.
Harry smiled, admittedly happy to see that she was just as displeased as he was with the pause in kisses. He trailed his hands down until they cupped her butt, ensuring now that she stayed at the same level of his lips to keep those kisses coming.
Lily made a little noise into the kiss, but was more than happy to continue where theyâd left off. She was absolutely putty in his hands at this point and would do anything to stay close to him.
It didnât take long for them to be all over each other again, but Harry wasnât complaining. They found their rhythm effortlessly, as with all things after being together all these years.
  Finn quickly decided that maybe cuddling by his parents wasnât the best idea at the moment. The couple was too occupied to see the little stink eye he gave them before hopping off the couch and heading to the bedroom.
  Harry turned them on their sides after a while more of kissing, resting his hand against her side. âYour robe doesnât make getting close too easy,â he teased with a smile against her lips.
  Lily glanced down at her robe which was securely tied at her waist, though the top had grown a bit more revealing. âI will admit the knot was digging into my stomach a bit,â she agreed. She reached between them to undo it the best she could with one hand. Thankfully the knot wasnât too terribly tight.
  Harry waited until Lily got the knot undone before helping with the rest of the ties. Then he slipped his arm under the robe to wrap around her waist and bring her even closer. âHowâs that?â he asked before stealing another kiss.
  Lily hummed happily at the feel of Harryâs touch against her skin and gave a small nod. âMuch better,â she confirmed before returning his kiss.
  âGood.â Harry was finally able to trace his fingertips along Lilyâs bare skin underneath the robe, resuming their kisses like they never even stopped.
  Lily just smiled into the kiss, knowing that Harry was very pleased with himself. Even if she still was somewhat covered up. She couldnât help but giggle when she remembered their conversation about sex in a robe. OrâŠmultiple conversations really.
  Harry grinned, pulling back just enough to look down at Lily so he could see what the giggling was all about. âWhatâs so funny, lovey?â he smiled, tucking strands of hair behind her ear.
  âJust thinking about making you flustered that night in the suite talking about sex in a robe,â Lily explained before tilting her head to the side. âAnd of course, the time we tried it and I about overheated.â
  Harry laughed softly, resting his hand along her jaw. Of course, that would be a conversation topic the first night they spent together. âAt least we can say we tried.â
  Lily laughed a little and nodded. âThink thatâs one thing weâve done with sex that we can say did not work out.â And probably the only thing.
  âYet⊠We can always try again,â Harry joked, that grin still on his face. They could easily admit they had a good track record when it came to that.
  Lily quickly shook her head. âI feel like itâs just as warm today as it was then. No thank you. Unless you want to try it,â she raised her brows at him.
  Harry gave a slight shrug. It was definitely a pretty warm day and any activity plus a robe would likely lead to overheating. âIâll try it⊠without the robe.â
  Lily thought he was going to accept her challenge at first, but of course Harry was too smart to subject himself to that pain. âThatâs what I thought,â she grinned teasingly. Her attention then turned to said robe. âActually, wouldnât mind being without the robe myself.â
  Harry smiled down at Lily and gave a slow shake of his head. âHmm⊠well. I guess itâs just gotta come off then, yeah?â
  Lily leaned back a little and held up one of her hands. âPull, please?â she asked sweetly, offering her sleeve up to Harry. The other arm would be much more difficult, but they would cross that bridge when they got there.
  Harry sat up a bit, supporting himself on one hand while using the other to help Lily get the sleeve off that arm. âYou got it, lovey. Halfway there,â he smiled.
  Lily pulled her arm out of the sleeve and let out a breath of relief when she felt the cool air on her back. âOkay, now lay down, baby.â She shifted with Harry so she was now propped up over him once more. Sitting up, she slipped her other arm out and let the robe fall to the floor, leaving her stark naked above Harry.
  Harry did as Lily told him, returning to lay on his back with his hands going to her waist. He watched with a satisfied smile, still in his boxers underneath her. âYou know, I could really get used to days off with you.â
  Lily laughed a little exasperated as she looked down at him. âLoveyâŠâ She watched as her hands gently roamed up and down his chest, gaze lingering on the one tattoo on his pec. âI think this last year has deprived you and now youâre constantly trying to make up for all that missed sex,â she teased gently, peeking up at him from under her lashes. That was one thing they hadnât planned on so much when it came to Harry going back to school, but his schedule had significantly reduced the amount of time (and energy) they had to be intimate. Now Harry could never get enough. âAnd maybe just time in general,â she added softly.
  Harryâs fingertips pressed gently into her skin as he smiled softly at Lily. He couldnât argue; this past year had really tested them and now he was eager to spend any time he could with Lily. âIs that such a bad thing?â he grinned a bit, hands running up and down her thighs.
  Lily shook her head. âNot at all. Especially since I donât see you at work anymore.â It had all been a huge adjustment. As soon as Harry had finished school and things seemed like theyâd go back to normal, he had switched to his new job. And then before they knew it, it was time for their wedding and honeymoon.
  Harry nodded. This past year had definitely been tough on them, but luckily as of now, theyâve had time to adjust to his new job and being married and now could enjoy being together without too much added stress. âAnd maybe⊠Iâm just attracted to my insanely gorgeous wife.â
  Lily smiled shyly, fighting the urge to duck her head to hide the blush even after all these years. But her gaze did avert back to her hands and she stroked her thumb over his tattoo. âWell, this insanely gorgeous wife has an outstandingly handsome husband that she is crazy about,â she countered.
  Harry grinned watching Lily. Heâd never get over how she still would get shy sometimes after hearing his compliments, even after how long theyâd been together. âI really hope youâre talking about me.â
  Lily snorted softly before looking up at him. âWell, youâre the bloke that Iâm sitting on completely naked soâŠIâd hope so, too,â she joked with a laugh. Leave it to Harry to make her giggle to get her out of her shy state.
  Harry laughed. She had a good point. âYeah, somehow Iâm the only somewhat-clothed one here and Iâm still blamed as the only one who wants sex constantlyâŠâ he teased with a smile to show he was only joking.
  Lily raised her brows in slight shock at his accusation before shaking your head. âYou know, I feel like you being the last one to get naked is just a trend. And Iâm not overly fond of it.â
  âNo?â Harry grinned up at Lily, resting his fingertips against her skin. âIâm like, almost naked. Doesnât that count?â
  âYou canât have the sex you want so much if you are âalmost nakedâ.â Lily reached between them and lifted the waistband of his boxers with her finger just enough that when she let it go, it lightly snapped against his stomach.
  âWe could try?â Harry teased, referring back to their robe conversation from earlier. Heâd be lying if he said that little movement of Lilyâs didnât stir something up inside him. âAre you gonna help me?â
  âHelp you with what?â Lily inquired. Sheâd noticed the little twitch of something across Harryâs face in response to the snap, so she couldnât help it when her finger found its way back under his waistband. Though this time she just fiddled with the elastic.
  Harry smiled a bit and should have known Lily wouldnât give in that easy. âHelp me take them offâŠâ he answered, her touch being so close only teasing him further.
  Lily didnât say anything in response, she just lifted up onto her knees. This time she hooked the fingers of both hands into the elastic and then pulled down as far as she could before she had to climb off.
  Harry watched Lilyâs hands work, lifting his hips once she climbed off of him to make getting his boxers down even easier. Heâd been hard for a while now with Lily naked on top of him so just having that material gone even felt relieving.
  Lily took advantage of being able to take in the sight of Harry laid out naked on the couch for her. And very hard for that matter. âYup,â she nodded. âYouâre definitely the outstandingly handsome husband Iâm crazy about.â She grinned at him then.
  âOh, good. Iâm glad we were able to clear that up,â Harry returned the grin, then reached out towards Lily because he wanted to kiss her and hold her gorgeous face while doing so.
  Lily gave in and carefully climbed back over Harry, settling on his lower thighs. One of her hands braced on the arm rest above Harryâs head as she leaned down to give him a soft kiss. âIâve always been crazy about you,â she murmured softly.
  One hand rested across her hip once she rejoined him, the other cupping her jaw as he gave her slow kiss after kiss. âCanât believe how long Iâve been crushing on you,â he grinned.
  âWhat has it been? Five years now of your crush?â Lily asked with a smile of her own. She never could have imagined Harry had been pining for her those first few years of friendship. Couldnât allow herself to go down that path in risk of messing up friendship and her workplace. And now here they were.
  Harry laughed a little. âHonestly, yeah, probablyâŠâ It took him a while to let those feelings out, but looking at them now, it clearly all worked out how it was supposed to. âAnd somehow you had no idea those first couple years,â he smiled at her.
  Lily pulled back a little to look at him. âYou were very good at hiding it.â She tilted her head, âOr I am just really that oblivious, but I feel as though Sarah or someone at work wouldâve called me out on it.â
  âMaybe a little bit of both.â Harry compromised with a small smile, gently nudging her forward to give her another kiss, âI think it all happened like it was supposed to.â
  Lily hummed into the kiss, âI agree.â Harry easily distracted her with his kisses, all other thoughts drifting away that didnât revolve around him.
  His hands traveled slowly along Lilyâs back and up to her neck and back down to her thighs, anywhere he could reach while they kissed. Lily couldnât blame him for wanting to make up that time they didnât get to spend together as much as they wouldâve liked.
  Lilyâs body curved and arched in response to Harryâs touch and she couldnât hide the small goosebumps. Her hips shifted further up his thighs until they finally met his own. She slowly ran her wetness against his length, revenge for all his teasing. And also, she enjoyed it.
  Harry welcomed Lily up further and closer to his body, and that feeling of her alone got a soft hum out of Harry already. His hands just gripped her hips and helped to guide them along his length, seeing as how they both enjoyed the feeling.
  Lily pulled away after a moment to catch her breath. âReady, love?â she asked, managing to open her eyes to look at him. While it felt good, she knew having him inside always felt even better.
  âIf you are,â he gave a little nod, eyes opening to look at Lily. He was more than ready to feel her again. âWant me on top?â
  âIf you want,â Lily shrugged. Theyâd both had their turn of being on top this morning so she didnât mind either way. The only trick would be adjusting on the couch. Maybe Harryâs idea of a bigger couch wasnât so bad after all.
  Harry always enjoyed Lily on top but didnât mind giving her a break after this morning. He held her against him, keeping her legs wrapped around his waist as he flipped them over, Lilyâs back against the cushions now. âGood, lovey?â he asked, fixing the pillow underneath her.
  Lily would never say no to the opportunity to be manhandled by Harry. She enjoyed when he moved her as he pleased far too much. As was noticeable by the way she bit her lip and smirked when he shifted them on the couch. âMhm,â she managed a nod, grinning at his fussing. One of her hands reached up to cup his cheek and her thumb stroked over his stubbly jaw line.
  Harry shifted to settle above Lily and in between her thighs, resting with his forearm on the arm rest above her head. He reconnected their lips as he lined himself up with her and slowly pushed his hips forward.
  Lily inhaled sharply at the feel of Harry pushing in and then moaned softly into the kiss. Her hand that wasnât cupping his face moved to his chest, slowly roaming over it and down his side to his hip. She loved feeling his muscles flexing under her touch.
  Harry let out a short moan in response to Lilyâs, and to how good she felt around him. His fingers mindlessly combed through her hair as he filled her completely, giving them both some time to adjust, even though it hadnât been that long since theyâd gone without this feeling.
  Lily pulled back just the tiniest amount to speak. âThird time today and you still feel so damn good,â she sighed. Surely, they would never tire of this feeling and experiencing it together.
  Harry smiled softly and began to trail kisses along her jaw. He couldnât have agreed more, she knew that. âLove you,â his arm wrapped around her waist as he began to thrust his hips.
  âI love you,â Lily returned the sentiment before it was followed by more soft noises as they began to move together. Her own hips matched his rhythm easily and she laid her head back against the pillow, eyes slipping closed as she just enjoyed herself.
  Harry absolutely adored the look on Lilyâs face, wanting nothing more than for her to relax back and enjoy this as much as he was. He pulled back slightly, both to catch his breath some and to focus on angling his thrusts just right.
  Lilyâs grip on Harryâs hip tightened when he adjusted his angle and her noises became more common. Harry knew exactly how to work her and he did it well. âLove,â she breathed out after one particular thrust.
  Harry let out noises often, lips parted and that feeling in the pit of his stomach slowly building up. He gave a small grin hearing Lily, keeping the aim of his thrusts consistent and of course his gaze on her all the while.
  Lily opened her eyes and wasnât disappointed in the view she had; Harry above her with his lips parted and that telling crinkle between his brows. Her lips curved up into a smile as well, especially at meeting his gaze which of course was on her. âHi.â
  Harry let out a little laugh at Lilyâs adorable âhiâ and continued smiling down at her. âHi there,â he breathed, hand going between them not long after to rub his thumb in circles against her clit.
  Lily opened her mouth to say something, but the words disappeared from her lips and her mind at Harryâs touch. âOh, fuck, Harry,â she groaned. Her hand that had been cupping his face had found its way into his curls at some point. No surprise. But his focus on her clit had her tugging on his curls from the pleasure.
  Harryâs hint of a smile remained as he leaned closer and pressed his lips to her jaw, then below her ear. His thumb rubbed continuous circles against her and his thrusts got a little quicker, knowing he wasnât going to be able to hold off for much longer.
  Lilyâs jaw dropped in a silent moan as her high came racing up on her. Her walls began to clench down around him and her toes curled at the pleasure. She gripped onto Harry wherever she could, her orgasm crashing over her harder than she had expected with it being her third of the day.
  Harry stayed close to Lily so he could hold her and she could grip onto him. âLily,â he moaned as she tensed around him, moving his hand away but continuing his thrusts to ride out her high and reach his own, releasing into her.
  Lily whimpered at the feeling of Harry releasing and prolonging her own high. She did her best to continue moving with him to help them both ride it out.
  His thrusts continued but slowed as they both came down from their highs. Both were breathing heavy, cheeks flushed and lips swollen. Heâd surely be tired after this time.
  Lily placed sweet kisses along Harryâs cheek as they both waited for their breathing to calm down. She thought she had wanted a nap earlier, but now she definitely did.
  Harry pulled back to look down at Lily once his breathing had finally calmed with a smile beginning to form. âThree. Whatâs our record?â
  Lily laughed and shook her head. âI donât remember what our honeymoon record was. Youâre asking too much of me too soon after a really good orgasm,â she confessed.
  Harry laughed and sat up a bit more, hand going to rest on the back of the couch. âYouâre right, I shouldâve waited,â he grinned, his other hand on her thigh.
  Lily frowned a little when he sat up, not wanting him to move away from her, so she reached out to him again. âPull out and letâs go back to cuddling like before,â she requested. Sheâd been keen on cuddling before, but now she really wanted it.
  Harry nodded and didnât wait a second longer before giving into Lilyâs request. He slowly pulled out of her and moved to lay down, squeezing himself between her and the cushion.
  Lily moved to lay on her side once Harry was settled. Then she was quick to tangle their legs back together. âSo, letâs seeâŠwhat about the first day in the pool? Donât know if weâre counting you going down on me as one or not, though,â she mused, happily thinking back on their honeymoon.
  âHmm⊠I donât know. I feel like that was just a warmup,â Harry grinned and wrapped his arms around Lilyâs waist, âDid we reach three that day?â
  Lily laughed lightly, âOf course, you think that.â She pursed her lips as she thought back. âSo, there was on the lounge chair and thenâŠshower? So only two that day.â
  Harry nodded in agreement and began to think about the next day of their trip. They were so busy, it was hard to keep track. âWe woke up, had sex⊠then that was the day we had sex actually in the pool as well, right?â
  Lily went through the day in her head and nodded. âYes, when I rode you on the stairs and then we switched,â she agreed. Her brows crinkled as she tried to remember their evening. âI believe that was the night when we got very tipsy on wine andâŠand we slept with you inside me so we definitely had sex again. The details are just a bit blurry from all the wine,â she laughed softly.
  Harry couldnât help but laugh; that definitely sounded like them and their antics. âSo thatâs three⊠that was a good sleep, by the way.â
  âSo, three is our record then?â Lily clarified, brows raised a little. She didnât figure theyâd done more than that any of the other days considering the boudoir shoot had taken up a good chunk of the one day. Though, theyâd definitely done it at least twice that day as well.
  âI think so?â Harry traced along her skin as he thought, legs tangled together with Lilyâs. âMightâve made it to three another day, but⊠donât think we got to four.â
  Lily hummed and nodded before adjusting her head on the pillow. âSounds about right.â There may have been another day over the years where they did it three times, but she felt as though she would remember doing it four times or more.
  Harry could feel himself growing more tired, even with how invested he was in the record they currently held. âLooks like weâve got a goal to reach of four someday,â he grinned.
  Lily smiled as she reached up to gently brush Harryâs damp curls back from his forehead. âSomeday,â she agreed. Some day when they managed to have the energy for four. âMay have to keep them a bit tamed, though. Conserve as much energy as possible,â she winked at him.
  Harry laughed softly. âWell, I donât know if we can manage thatâŠâ he teased with a smile and a wink back at her, âThose will have to be our lazy, busy days.â
  Lilyâs head fell back a little with a laugh. âOh, of course not. My Harry would never be tame in bed if he can help it,â she teased, letting her hand fall to cup his cheek now. âLike today?â All they had done was have sex, shower, and eat.
  Harry laughed, rubbing his hand along Lilyâs side slowly. âYeah, like today. Except Iâve got to recharge now. Youâve tired me out, lovey,â he teased and grinned.
  Lily smiled gently at him. âAnd here I was the one wanting to nap earlier.â She leaned in to give him a sweet kiss and then nudged her nose against his. âDonât worry. We donât have to break our record today.â
  Harry returned the kiss, his eyes staying closed even when Lily pulled away to nudge noses. âMhm⊠never say never,â he let out a soft sigh with a small playful grin, gently squeezing Lily closer.
  Lily tried to hide her knowing grin. âIf you say so, lovey. You just let me know when youâve recharged enough for round four.â She could admit that a perk to being a woman was the rebound time after sex, which definitely came in handy with her husband who was bound and determined to give her as many orgasms as possible from either his hand, mouth, or dick.
  Harry smiled and opened his eyes to look at Lily, brows raised just at the possibility of there being a round four in the works. âHow about after some cuddle time with my lovey?â he suggested, sneaking his way in to tuck his head in the crook of her neck.
  Lily giggled when that made Harry look at her, but then she happily wrapped her arms around him and snuggled him in close. âI will never say no to cuddles from my snuggle bun.â
  Harryâs eyes closed again when she hugged him in closer, his arms tight around her as well. âI love being your snuggle bun,â he happily sighed, the activities of their day catching up to him.
  Of course, Lilyâs hand was in Harryâs curls just seconds after he got settled, running through the ends of them. âAnd I love that youâre my snuggle bun.â She placed a kiss to the top of his head.
  Harry smiled softly at her words. He placed a few small kisses to her collarbone while his fingers traced along her skin. Itâd be hard to go back to work after this day.
  Lily just smiled to herself. Harry was the absolute cutest when he was cuddly and a bit needy about it. Sheâd happily hold him and dote on him forever. After a few moments, she began to hum a random song that had been stuck in her head, just enjoying laying together undisturbed.
  It wasnât surprising that Harry began to drift off after a while, not with how comfortable he was in Lilyâs arms and feeling her fingers in his hair. He enjoyed being the little spoon every so often.
  Lily knew Harry was done for when she felt his breath against her collarbone grow deep and slow. But she didnât stop her doting or humming. She was more than happy to lay there with him and let him get in a small nap before itâd be a good time for dinner.

Lou
Well, maybe if you two werenât busy out there making out in the snow, little Harold here wouldnât of gone and drank all the booze. Itâs kind of your fault, Lou! *Liam smirks, obviously emboldened by the booze heâs been drinking, usually never going up against Louis like that, Liam always getting the brunt of Louâs jokes and torment but he seemed to not care right now, being sufficiently drunk that he didnât properly think it through*Â
Iâd much rather kiss this gorgeous girl than worry about Haz, sorry, mate. *Louis makes a gesture to Harry who just hiccups in response* *Lou rolls his eyes dramatically as all the other lads hoot and holler when he mentions that you two had made out, shaking his head and trying to brush them all off* Youâre all idiots. Pure idiots. Leave us alone. *he wraps his arm around you tighter and pulls you in closer, burying his nose in your hair and laughing as the whole room âawâs, Louis flipping them off as best as best as he could with his hand that was holding his cup, everyone just laughing at him when he did that* *the night goes on much like this, everyone getting drunker and Lou staying pressed against your side majority of the time, besides when you volunteered to bring Harry up to bed since he was pretty much passed out on the floor underneath Niallâs Christmas tree* *as you were coming back downstairs, Lou grips your wrist from behind the staircase, pulling you into a small office type room, looking down at you with bright mischievously twinkling eyes as you realize it was him, his hands quickly coming up to rest on your waist* I missed you. Sick of sharing you with Harry. *he was definitely drunk, still aware of everything but in that bolder and clingier mindset, his smile big and dopey on his face* Itâs almost midnight you know. Thought youâd miss it and Iâd lose my chance at a proper midnight kiss⊠itâs bad luck, they say.Â
____________________________
*giggles happily at their excitement for us, staying close to your side and loving this new clinginess, things seeming so different now we were official* *we drink and dance a little together before playing drinking games and chatting with the others, quickly noticing that Harry was falling asleep on the floor and chuckling as I help him up to bed* *gone for about 20 minutes trying to get him to drink and on his side to sleep peacefully before I was coming back downstairs, yelping a little as someone grabs my wrist and tugs me into a private room, realising it was you and playfully hitting your chest* You scared me. *murmurs before my whole face softens as I feel your hands on my waist and stepping closer into you and cheeks flushing as you say you missed me, biting my lip and feeling very tipsy myself as I reach my arms around your neck and grinning back up at you* Missed you too. *murmurs softly, nuzzling my nose against your chin before giggling at your words and shaking my head* Would never rob you of a midnight kiss, it's a necessity.

Hey Angel - Harry Styles
a/n: since i had so much time on my hand at work lately (not anymore unfortunately) i used it wisely and cooked up this PA themed fic bc i absolutely love this trope. itâs lengthy and kinda emotional? kinda, lol. hope youâll like it and as always, feedback is much appreciated!!
warning: sexual content
word count: 11.5k
masterlist
Harry likes to pretend he is tall enough to comfortably rest his chin on the top of your head when he stands behind you, but thatâs not true. He has to push himself a little to his tippy toes and push you down at the same time to fit his chin above you, his arms weighing down on your shoulders. You stopped arguing him that you need to push your hips forward when he does this so you donât carry his whole weight.
âThaâs rude, you do not have to do thaâ!â he defended himself every time you brought up, so you just stopped.
Now as you watch the game of air hockey unfold in front of you, a half empty pint in your hand, you donât even budge when you feel a chiseled chin resting on the top of your head, you push your hips forward without a second thought to shorten your height. You catch a glimpse of a tattooed forearm on your shoulder, Harryâs chest presses against your back gently.
He doesnât stay in this position too long, itâs making it hard to drink so soon enough, he wraps his left arm around your shoulders, coming to stand next to you, sipping on his tequila on the rocks.
âHey you,â you smile at him as he gives you a side look, a boyish smirk tugging on his pink lips. âEverything alright?â
âEverything is fine.â
âYou need something? How much have you had to drink?â you ask furrowing your eyebrows, looking down at his glass that was certainly full when you last saw him about ten minutes ago.
âShush, stop pretending like youâre working,â he waves at your face, his words melting together, definitely thanks to the alcohol he has consumed tonight.
âI know Iâm not working, Iâm just trynaâ be your friend and look out for you.â Bringing your own drink up to your lips, you give him a look, but he just smirks at you playfully.
âUh-huh, whatever. Donât worry about me.â
âI always worry about you, H,â you sigh dramatically and it makes him laugh with his head falling back.
âIs this the part where you tell me Iâm some spoiled brat celebrity you âave to babysit for your living? And that I always do ridiculous shit so you âave to keep an eye on me at all times?â
You canât push your smile down at how far this statement is from reality. You just like to tease him about being a typical, asshole rockstar when he is literally your favorite person in the world without a doubt.
âOh Angel, you canât fool me,â he cackles, squeezing you to his side before taking another sip from his drink.
âWouldnât even try to,â you mumble with an amused smile. âHavinâ fun, birthday boy?â you ask, leaning into his side. You would never admit, but you love how touchy Harry can get sometimes, not really caring about physical boundaries, especially when he drinks. The hugs, the squeezes, the touches, they always make your heart flutter even after knowing him for years.
âIâm havinâ a blast. What about you?â
âWhat about me? Itâs not my birthday,â you chuckle shortly.
âSo what? I canât make sure youâre enjoying your night?â he frowns at you dramatically that just makes you laugh.
âIâm having a great night. Itâs just that my boss keeps coming after me even though Iâm supposed to be off the clock.â
You peek up at him to see the grin on his face at your teasing. The dynamic between the two of you has been like this since day one. The constant bickering and teasing is what really brought the two of you close, you are so similar, itâs like you can see a male version of yourself when you look at him.
âTell the dude to fuck off,â he mumbles into his drink and you bump your hip against him, but he just holds you tight to his side as an answer.
Soon enough, Harry joins the game and you watch him play from the side, obviously cheering on his opponent to annoy him, earning some pretty dirty looks from him whenever they score against him and you let out a âwoho!â in victory.
âYâknow, itâs not too nice to cheer against the birthday boy, is it?â he calls you out when the table is taken by someone else and he joins you at the side again.
âAm I not allowed to choose who I want to cheer to?â you ask with a faked puzzled look and he presses his lips into a thin line, glaring down at you intently.
âDonât test me, Angel,â he grumbles into your ear before walking off to join his friends who came out to celebrate with him today.
Itâs a pretty lowkey celebration, since he is still in the middle of filming Donât Worry Darling, so he couldnât really travel far from the set, but some of his dearest friends were able to come here and celebrate with him and his cast members.
You stand at the bar and your eyes find him every time you scan the place, not able to keep your gaze away from him for too long, he just demands the attention. Or at least yours.
Youâve never met anyone like him. When you got the chance to be his personal assistant four years ago at the very beginning of his solo career, you never thought how heâll move right into your heart and never leave it. Whether you look at him as your boss or your friend, you canât deny that he changed your life and youâve learned so much from him, you can only hope he thinks of you somewhat the same. However you always tell yourself: what could you possibly give for The Harry Styles? He has everything in the whole wide world.
Harry catches you staring and he arches a brow at you, abandoning the conversation he has been in for the past minutes, mouthing you âwhatâs up, Angelâ, his accent thick even without hearing his voice.
Heâs been calling you Angel for longer than you can remember. When you asked him why the nickname, he said itâs because One Directionâs song Hey Angel was written about you. It was a fat lie, you havenât met him when the song was written, but his words still tightened your chest, playing with the thought of Harry writing a song about you.
As cheesy and clichĂ© as it is, you fell for him faster than youâd like to admit. You tried to fight it for a while, convince yourself itâs just a silly crush, but you soon had to realize you outgrew that after the first few weeks working with him. How could you not fall for him? He is everything any woman could wish for and he has you wrapped around his fingers, just like he has half the female population, probably.
You shake your head in his way, not sure how to tell him you just got lost in your thoughts about him. In fact, he occupies your mind pretty much all the time, but he doesnât have to know about that.
He excuses himself from the table and walks up to you, a slow breath leaving your nose as you watch him approach you.
âTired?â he asks, stopping in front of you, placing his empty glass to the counter.
âKinda,â you nod.
âWant to head home soon?â
âDonât worry about me. I can just call a taxi and go home, you donât have to come.â
âDonât be silly, we go to the same place, obviously weâre gonna go home together.â
Since filming has started, Harry and youâve been sharing a nice apartment near the set. It was his idea to rent a place for the two of you, rather than to stay at a hotel. At first you didnât think it would be a good idea, but of course, he convinced you to live with him for the months while the movie is being filmed. So now you basically live with Harry, share pretty much all your living space with him, except your bedroom.
âBut itâs your birthday, stay as long as you want,â you tell him, not wanting to snatch him away from his friends on his big day.
âWeâre filming in the afternoon tomorrow, canât drag the night too long either way,â he shrugs, trying to make you believe itâs really nothing.
No matter how badly you try to convince him to stay, he doesnât bulge and starts saying goodbye within an hour, calling the two of you a car to take you home. He is clearly tipsy, but not drunk. Once youâre in the car, Harryâs hand finds yours and he pulls you closer in the backseat until your thighs are pressed together. He curls an arm around your shoulders, holding you tight to his side, sinking down in the seat. You let your head rest on his shoulder, enjoying the closeness of his body, pressing down any worrying thought that usually makes its way to your mind every time Harry gets a little cozier than the usual.
The rational side of your brain knows you should be keeping some distance from him for the sake of your own sanity and emotional health, but you just canât. Denying these little moments from yourself would be like pure torture and your heart canât take that for sure.
âWhat are you thinkinâ about?â he murmurs, his nose nuzzling into your hair and you just shrug your shoulders.
âNothing,â you mumble your lie.
âLiar, I can hear the gears turning in that pretty head of yours,â he grins down at you as your eyes lock for a moment. Thank God for the darkness in the car, because you can feel your cheeks heating up. The last thing you need is for Harry to see how nervous he can make you feel with just a simple compliment.
âStop being nosy, you donât have to know everything all the time.â You poke his side with your elbow, it makes him jump a little before he snuggles back to your side.
âThatâs not true, you know Iâm entitled to hold every knowledge in the world.â He tries to hide his smirk, but he fails miserably and you just laugh at him with your head falling back to his shoulder.
âHarry Styles, you are something else,â you sigh shaking your head at him.
Arriving home Harry keeps an arm around you as you walk up to the front door, fishing your keys out of your bag since youâd bet Harry didnât bring his. Thereâs a chance he hasnât even used his copy since youâve been here, he knows you always have yours and you havenât really left without each other so far, always staying around the other.
âWant to shower first?â he hums, walking inside, his arm leaving your shoulders and though you feel lighter without the extra weight, you wish it was still there.
âGo for it, Iâm gonna clean up the mess I made when I got ready earlier,â you tell him, heading into your bedroom where the floor is littered with half your wardrobe from earlier, when you were trying to figure out what to wear for the little outing.
Harry disappears in the shared bathroom and a moment later you hear the water running. You go around your room, picking up the dresses you voted against, placing them back into the wardrobe and then you put away your makeup you left on your bed in your hurry.
âBathroom is yours!â Harry calls out just when you finish, you hear his bedroom door open and close so you grab a clean oversized t-shirt and a pair of cotton shorts before occupying the bathroom.
The warm shower feels nice, itâs been a long day since you started on set, Harry had a few scenes to film before you could leave in the afternoon. You wash away the day, scrub your makeup off and then take off the rest with your wipes once youâre out. You brush your hair and use some lotion for your dry skin before getting dressed and leaving the steamy bathroom.
Padding down the short hallway you hear nothing coming from Harryâs bedroom and you wonder if heâs already asleep, but once you step inside your room you see that he is cozied up on your bed, your covers pulled up to his naked chest, a pillow tucked under his head as he scrolls through his phone so shamelessly, as if it was his own room.
âDid you take the wrong turn in the hallway?â you ask with an arched eyebrow as you throw your dirty clothes to your temporary hamper, which is basically your emptied out suitcase.
âNope,â he grins smugly, you have to roll your eyes at him. He locks his phone, dropping it to the side table, watching you move around, getting ready for bed and his eyes on your figure feel like theyâre burning down on your skin.
âYou know, itâs rude to stare,â you comment not even looking at him, but you just know he is still staring at you. Grabbing a hairtie from the little dresses in the corner of your room you reach back to loosely braid your hair, but his voice stops you.
âWait,â he pleads and you furrow your eyebrows at him. âCan I do it?â
You give him a confused look as he pushes himself up into a sitting position, his green eyes are glimmering from the tiredness and the alcohol he has consumed tonight.
âYou want to braid my hair?â
âYeah,â he nods. You hesitate for a moment but join him on the bed at last, turning your back against him, giving him full control over your hair.
A shiver runs down your spine when you feel his fingers raking through your strands. He is so gentle and careful as you feel him section your hair off to three parts.
âDidnât know you can braid,â you tell him, eyes fixated on the sheets in front of you.
âGemma taught me, but Iâm not the best at it.â
âSo Iâll look atrocious?â you tease him smiling to yourself. He pokes the back of your neck with his fingers before continuing his work.
âYou could never look atrocious, even if you tried.â
âAnd you are such a flirt,â you sigh. Over the years youâve gotten used to his flirty act, itâs just who he is and though in the beginning your breath always got caught in your throat when he said something cheesy, now you just brush it off, only thinking about his words when you are alone in the night, struggling to fall asleep because youâre once again, thinking about him.
âMâtelling the truth. Have I told you how beautiful you looked tonight?â
âMmm,â you hum. He has told you that you looked pretty when the two of you left and he saw you walk out of your room in your black skinny jeans and flowy sheer top on, your hair loosely curled, but you didnât really know what to say, so you just smiled at him and itâs the same now. Youâre not the best at taking compliments.
âYou really did. You always are.â
âAnd once again, you are such a flirt.â
âComplimenting a pretty woman is being a flirt?â he asks pretending to be offended as he carefully works on your hair and you wish you could see his focused face as he is trying to keep track of the sections between his fingers. At a lack of a witty comeback, you just shrug your shoulders, fumbling with your fingers on your lap.
You both fall silent as he concentrates on your hair and you manage to stop thinking, just focus on how his fingers keep brushing against your back every time he crosses two sections over each other.
âHairtie, please,â he asks, his hand appearing next to you with his palm upwards. You place it in his hand and he finishes up his masterpiece. âThere, it didnât turn out as bad as I thought,â he comments once he is done. Reaching back you run your fingers over the braid and it feels good, he did a great job.
âThanks,â you smile at him shyly, turning around. He leans back, making himself comfortable once again and you arch an eyebrow at him. âNeed me to walk you back to your room, sir?â
âNo, Iâm perfectly fine here,â he grins smugly, tugging his arm behind his head as he takes up the right side of the bed.
âYouâre planning to sleep here?â
âPlease, donât make me sleep alone on my birthday!â he pouts, giving you those damned puppy eyes. How could you ever say no to him?
âYou better not push me off the bed in your sleep,â you mumble before getting under the covers.
You turn off the bedside lamp and the two of you start moving around, finding a comfortable pose to sleep in and you end up facing each other on your sides, Harryâs face squished into the pillow as his eyes are roaming over the hand you have laid between your faces.
His fingers start to inch towards yours until he hooks his pinky with yours, the touch sending a warm feeling down your spine.
âI hate sleeping alone,â he mumbles into the semi-darkness.
âWhy?â
âDonât you like it when thereâs someone next to you? When you wake up and youâre not alone?â
âI like it, but I donât hate sleeping alone either,â you tell him as your eyes fall to your linked pinky fingers. âWhy do you hate it? You have the bed all to yourself, and thereâs no chance of waking up to someone snoring or talking in their sleep.â
He huffs out a laugh as he buries his head deeper into the pillow.
âIt makes me feel lonely. Which is ridiculous, because Iâm never alone.â
âBut lonely and alone are not the same, so itâs not ridiculous. You can feel lonely when youâre not alone.â
âI know,â he nods, his eyes watching your linked fingers intently, before he moves his hand so itâs now covering yours, his warm palm wrapping around your much smaller hand. âIâm never lonely with you, though.â
âSo⊠you are only lonely when youâre sleeping or in the bathroom, because we basically spend every moment of the day together.â You smirk at him and see his dimple form in his cheek as he smiles at you nodding.
âThatâs right. We are like glued together.â
âHow arenât we sick of each other already?â
âThatâs never gonna happen.â
âYou sure about that?â You raise your eyebrows at him with an amused smile, he is too sure about that answer.
âOne hundred percent. Youâre my favorite person.â
âIs that what you tell everyone?â
He gives you a look, but you just chuckle, sinking further into your pillow. His fingers start playing with your hand as he draws a deep breath.
âI only tell this to mâ mum and Gemma. No one else.â
Your heart starts racing at the thought of him seeing you on the same level as his closest family. You know how much his mum and sister mean to him, but you never thought you are anywhere near them in his eyes.
âYouâre my favorite person too,â you whisper as your eyes meet over your joined hands. He smiles at you warmly, his floppy curls falling into his forehead and you want to run your fingers through them, feel how soft they are under your touch. Harry scoots closer, your faces only a few inches away from each other as he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
For a moment you just watch him, thinking how good it feels to have him in your bed. How amazing it is to end the day with him so close to you. You wish all days would end like this, you wouldnât have another bad day with him next to you.
Lying there and watching him slowly fall asleep, his hand still on yours, the bitter thought eats itself into your mind that he is only here because he feels lonely and wanted to be close to someone, not you particularly. And though youâre glad itâs you he ended up next to, you try not to get too accustomed to the feeling, because youâre just a temporary fix to his loneliness.
The door to Harryâs trailer opens and he walks in wearing his blue dress pants and crispy white dress shirt, fumbling with the top buttons to undo them. You glance up at him from your laptop where youâve been working on his schedule for the upcoming weeks while he was filming.
âHey, how did it go?â you ask as he places his water bottle to the vanity and then sits in the chair he spends his mornings in while his hair is being styled and tattoos are covered.
âGood. Messed up only a few times. Whachaâ working on?â
âJust your schedule, Iâll email it to you when Iâm done, though you never check it.â
âHey, I do check it! I like your color coding. I just suck at using it and youâre always here to remind me of the important stuff.â
You roll your eyes, continuing to type away on your keyboard as he moves around, having a snack and texting back people.
âFlorence is coming over for a little after weâre done. We can order something,â he speaks up grabbing your attention again.
âCool,â you nod with a small smile. âIs she staying the night?â
âNo, we just thought it would be nice to hang out a little without dressed like this,â he chuckles looking down at himself.
âWhatâs wrong with Jackâs clothes? You look neat.â
âDo I?â he cocks an eyebrow cheekily, placing his hands to his hips as he looks down at you.
âYeah. Itâs a nice change after all the grandpa clothes,â you tease him and he gasps pretending to be offended at your words, though you both know you have nothing against his style. In fact, you love how he just wears whatever he wants, not caring what others would think.
âWatch your mouth or you canât wear my bode jacket again,â he warns you holding up his pointing finger, shaking it at you, but you just chuckle at him, finishing up what youâve been working on before shutting the laptop down.
âHow long until youâre done?â
âJust a few more scenes. I think we can leave in about two hours.â
âAlright.â
âYou done working?â
âMhm, for now.â
âCome and watch the filming. Youâre always so hidden in here.â
âBecause I always have work to do,â you point out, putting the laptop to the side from your lap.
âYeah, but youâre done now, so come out and watch me be the next Leonardo DiCaprio,â he smugly tells you, and it makes you roll your eyes at him.
âYouâre so humble, H. Is something that comes with the age?â you tease him standing up from the small sofa, grabbing your phone from the table.
âYouâll find out in a year,â he smirks back as you follow him out of the trailer, back to the set.
Later that day you, Florence and Harry are chilling back at your apartment, munching on the pizza you ordered, watching some documentary on Netflix, just enjoying a lazy evening. Youâve become quite close with Florence, her personality is a lot like yours so you got along well from the beginning, the three of you often do things together outside of set.
You and Harry are sharing the couch while Florence is curled up on the loveseat. The temperature at the apartment is always nice, but you often catch yourself feeling a little cold in the evening, but it has more to do with the tiredness rather than with the heating of the place. When you pull your legs underneath you to warm your feet, Harry notices the action and knows right away that youâre starting to feel cold as always. Reaching down he grabs a blanket from the basket next to the couch and he wraps an arm around you, pulling you closer to him.
âCome âere,â he mumbles, draping the blanket over the two of you. You shuffle closer to him, making yourself comfortable at his side as he makes sure youâre fully tugged in. Then he leaves an arm around you, his fingers gently grazing your shoulder as he turns his attention back at the movie.
Glancing over at Florence you see the puzzled look on her, but you ignore it biting into your bottom lip, turning back to watch the movie though youâre having a hard time focusing. All you can think about is Harryâs touch on you.
Itâs almost midnight when Florence calls herself a taxi. Harry picks up the glasses you used and volunteers to wash them, leaving you and Florence alone in the living room.
âSo, whatâs up with you and Harry?â she questions right away without beating around the bush.
âWhat do you mean?â
âI mean that you two has always been close, but now⊠it seems all too⊠couple-like.â She narrows her eyes at you, hands on her hips, looking like a mother questioning her daughter.
âDonât be silly.â
âIâm not,â she scoffs. Then you pretend to be busy with folding the blanket, but you can feel her intent stare on you before she speaks up again. âYou like him, donât you?â
âWhat?â you huff with a not too Oscar-worthy expression on your face that was supposed to hide the panic in you. âWell of course I like him, he is my friend and boss.â
âBut not just like that. You like like him.â
âFlorence,â you sigh, just when Harry walks out of the kitchen, oblivious to the conversation that he just interrupted.
âYou sure you donât want to spend the night?â he politely asks her, but she just shakes her head.
âIâm not really up for spending the night on the couch.â
âYou wouldnât have to, you can sleep in my bed,â he simply offers and something is telling you he shouldnât open his mouth again.
âYouâre not taking the couch because of me.â
âI wouldnât, I usually sleep at Y/Nâs,â he states as if it was nothing, but you instantly freeze.
Yes, ever since his birthday he has spent way more nights in your bed than in his own, always raving to you how well he can sleep when youâre next to him and you couldnât bear the thought of him feeling lonely, so youâve been letting him occupy half of your bed through the nights. He usually holds your hand falling asleep and then you wake up tangled together, sometimes he is cuddling you from behind, other times youâre the one curled up to his side. He treats it so casually, like it really is nothing, he just always goes on his day when you wake up so you decided to not make it into a big deal either.
Florence gives you a wide eyed look that you try hard to ignore, while Harry is so oblivious to what he just caused with his statement.
âI uhhâthanks but Iâm fine going home. Besides, I think my car is already here. See you guys on set tomorrow. Y/N?â she calls out walking towards the front door.
âHm?â
âWeâll talk later,â she tells you and itâs a strong message that she wonât just leave it at that.
âUh, yeah, sure,â you nod awkwardly, waving her goodbye.
You and Harry clean up together and as always, he is the first one to use the bathroom and by the time youâre done, he is in your bed, waiting for you to join him. You donât comment on his presence anymore, part of you afraid he would stop spending the night in your bed and you definitely donât want that. Not much is left from filming, meaning that soon you are forced to go home where you and Harry do not live at the same place so youâre gonna have to sleep alone, like you did before. Only now you are way too hooked on the feeling of having him in your bed, even if itâs not in the way you truly want, itâs better than nothing.
The moment you get under the sheets, Harry reaches out and pulls you to his side. He hasnât done this often when you went to sleep, only sneaking some small touches, but you donât mind him being a little extra clingy.
âFilming is almost over,â you mumble into his chest, your hand lazily resting where his ribcage ends in his chest.
âMhm.â Thereâs a short silence before he speaks up again. âWhat about it, Angel?â
âItâs just that itâs going to be weird going home. I got used to living here.â Itâs your way saying that youâre gonna miss having him around all the time, but youâre not sure if he understands the hint. It doesnât really matter anyway.
âYou like cramped together with me?â he chuckles lowly.
âWas kinda nice,â you smile.
âRemember how you threatened me to throw my shit out if I leave my dirty clothes on the floor?â
âI do,â you smirk, thinking back to the conversation where you agreed to live with him while he is filming. âDidnât find any clothes on the floor, so you get an A for that.â
âWow, was this⊠a compliment?â
âShut up, I always compliment you!â you laugh smacking his chest gently.
âOh, no. You donât compliment, you just tell me when I managed not to fuck something up,â he corrects you and your cheeks are heating up about how well he knows you.
âThose are compliments in my book, donât be greedy.â
âMânot. I love how grounded you keep me with treating me like this.â
âLike what?â you ask furrowing your eyebrows.
âLike a normal person. With you, I donât have to be afraid that I earn something because of who I am. You give no shit about my name, you always keep me in check and I appreciate that.â
âCanât let you have a too big of a head,â you smirk, closing your eyes. He laughs with you, squeezing you a little before you both fall into silence, drifting off to sleep in each otherâs arms.
Youâve managed to avoid Florence in the past few days. Her burning look has been making you way too nervous, you know she wants to know more about whatâs going on between you and Harry, but truth to be told, you have no idea what to tell her.
Yeah, Iâm definitely in love with him and weâve been sharing a bed for a few weeks because he feels lonely alone at night, so he uses me to ease the feeling while I just let him because as I said, Iâm in love with the man.
No, you canât tell her that.
Now thereâs only two days left from filming, meaning that only two more nights to spend with Harry and itâs making you a nervous wreck to think about sleeping alone in your bedroom.
You round the corner in the maze of the trailers after a phone call you had with Jeff when you run out of luck and bump right into Florence.
âIâve been looking for you, Y/N. Come have lunch with me in my trailer,â she smiles sweetly, grabbing you by your hand so you canât escape her this time.
âOh I wanted to callââ
âDo it later,â she simply cuts you off.
Soon, you find yourself in her trailer as she eats her burger while she eyes you with suspicion.
âSo, you and Harry sleep together?â
âWell, not like that. We really just sleep in the same bed.â
âOh, makes perfect sense, sleeping in the same bed as your boss. Very casual.â
âDonât make it sound so weird,â you frown at her words. You definitely donât see Harry as your boss. You do work for him, but it never felt like he stands anywhere above you, the two of you have always been equal even before you became close friends.
âYou gotta admit itâs pretty unusual,â she points out and you just look away from her. âSo letâs talk about how youâre in love with him.â
âWhat? I never said that!â you protest, but she just gives you a look that says âcut the crap, girlâ and you know thereâs no use to try to trick her, she sees right through you. âDonât fucking look at me like that, I have enough shit on my plate without your judgment.â
âOh, Iâm not judging you. Iâm just wondering why you two are not together already.â
You practically snort at her statement, finding it quite absurd and ridiculous.
âWhat? You two are perfect for each other and Iâm pretty sure Harry loves you too.â
âYeah, as a friend.â
âThatâs not how friends act, Y/N. He wouldnât beg himself into your bed every night if he was just your friend.â
âHe is just lonely. He doesnât need me, just someone to be with him.â
âThatâs bullshit,â she scoffs. âYou two are just being idiots.â
Just as you are about to answer, your phone starts ringing. Harryâs smiley face appears on the screen, making you extremely nervous because of the conversation you are having with Florence.
âHey,â you breathe out answering the call.
âHey, where are you?â
âJust, talking with Florence. Whatâs up?â
âI got an email from Jeff and I have some questions.â
âIâll be there in a sec.â
âThank you Angel,â he hums before ending the call.
âI gotta go. Please donât⊠bring any of this up for Harry,â you ask Florence, heading to the exit.
âYouâve gotta sort your shit out. This is not ideal, Y/N.â
âI know it,â you growl under your breath, leaving the trailer. You chew on your bottom lip nervously as you march back to Harryâs trailer. You feel so confused and anxious about this whole situation and the worst thing is that you have no idea what to do about it. Telling him how you feel seems like a stupid idea, but mostly because youâre terrified of rejection. What if it all meant nothing to him? If you were right and he is just lonely and uses you to help himself, it has nothing to do with you. You wouldnât survive the heartbreak it would give you if he told you he doesnât see you more than just a friend.
As you walk into his trailer he is sitting on the sofa with his phone in his hands. He glances up at you, a warm smile tugging on his lips as you take a deep breath, feeling very much out of place suddenly. Unfortunately, he immediately senses your discomfort.
âEverything alright, Angel?â
Angel. This nickname could make your knees go weak in a heartbeat and you hate how much effect it has on you. Especially in this state of mind youâre currently in.
âI justâŠâ You shake your head shutting your eyes. âWhy do you keep calling me that?â you ask, sounding way more desperate than you intended to. Harry puts his phone aside, looking a little puzzled at your sudden weird act, but he seems more worried for you.
âI, uhhââ
âAnd donât tell me itâs because Hey Angel is about me. We didnât know each other back then.â
You have no idea where this is coming from or why you even questioned him about it all of a sudden, but Florence just totally threw you off with what she just said. Harry stares back at you, probably vigorously looking for the reason why you are acting up now, but luckily, he doesnât try to turn it into a joke as always.
âI call you Angel, because you remind me of the song. It wasnât written about you, but the lyrics match up with⊠you.â
âWhat?â you ask in confusion.
âI wish I could be more like you, do you wish you could be more like me?â he quotes the song, not singing the words, simply just talking them as he stares back at you. âI see you at the bar, at the edge of my bed, backseat of my car, in the back of my head,â he continues and you feel your throat doing dry just from the way he softly speaks, standing only a few feet away from you. âI come alive when I hear your voice, itâs a beautiful sound, itâs a beautiful noise.â
You never really gave it another thought, but now that he has told you this, it hit you hard in the chest. You werenât expecting, especially because those lines are rather meaningful, to you at least.
âI thought of it once not long after we first met and thought calling you Angel would suit you. Do you mind it? I can just⊠stop calling you that if you donât like it.â
You shake your head. You never want him to stop calling you that even if itâs not that meaningful for him. If itâs just some game. Itâs great to know that something reminded him of you.
âNo, itâs⊠itâs alright.â Your voice is small, barely more than just a whisper. Itâs a little too much at once. Florenceâs words are still stuck in your head, and what he just said has felt like he just gripped your heart even if he doesnât know.
You take a shaky breath, forcing yourself to come back from this hazy state of mind.
âSo, what about that email?â
âYou alright?â Reaching forward he takes your hand and you try not to flinch at his touch, just smile at him nodding.
âYeah. Iâm fine.â He squeezes your hand before dropping it and he luckily doesnât ask any more questions.
 You stay oddly quiet for the rest of the day and Harry surely knows something is wrong, but he respects you enough not to bug you about it any longer. He just stays close to you as much as he can, trying his best to take your mind off of whatever keeps you occupied.
On the way home you and Harry drop by a supermarket, buy some quick dinner, not wanting to stack the fridge when youâre leaving so soon. Then you sit in the living room, eating and watching some random movie thatâs on TV. You snuggle to his side on the couch naturally, he doesnât even have to pull you close this time. The thought of having left only one more night in the apartment makes you want to sue every little moment you have left in this bubble.
Harry makes you have a shower first tonight and when you come out from the bathroom, your bed is already nicely made, inviting you warmly. He is quick to finish with his shower and joins you in bed barely five minutes later. You move towards each other instantly, his arms curling around your form soothingly as you make yourself comfortable, melted into his embrace. You feel his lips pressing against your forehead and you almost start crying at the small action.
âAngel, I donât know what has upset you, but Iâm here for you, alright? Youâre not alone,â he murmurs softly.
âI know,â you whisper. âThank you.â
âNo need to thank me. I would do anything for you, just like you do so much for me. Youâve got me.â
I wish, you think to yourself. You have him, but not the way youâve been desiring. His hand moves to cup your face as he lifts your head so you are looking into his eyes in the darkened room, but thereâs enough light coming through the window that you see his features. He runs his thumb across your cheek, gently caressing your skin and everywhere he touches you, it feels like your body is in flames. This something has been building up inside you and now youâre not sure how long youâll be able to control yourself. And just as you think about how you really should put some distance between the two of you so you wonât regret it later, the unexpected happens.
Harry pulls you up just enough so when he moves his head he is able to place his lips on yours, kissing you out of the blue. His lips feel so soft, so fitting on your mouth, you let out a whimper when he goes further than just a gentle kiss, taking your bottom lip between his properly. Itâs an out of world experience, youâve imagined it so many times, but you never thought it would actually happen and now that it is very much happening, your whole mind goes blank and for a split second⊠everything feels right. You kiss him back with fever and with each passing moment the kiss grows more passionate and way hungrier than how it started. Harryâs arm tightens around you, almost pulling you on top of him and you canât make yourself stop, not that you want to.
With a little force, Harry pushes the two of you around so now youâre lying on the mattress and he holds himself up above you, his lips never disconnecting from yours. He licks into your mouth, pulling and tugging on your lips, making your whole body go weak just for him.
But then, as if reality hit you in the head, you realize whatâs happening.
âHarry,â you gasp pulling back, gasping for air. âThisâWeâŠâ
âAngel, let me take care of you. Please,â he begs out of breath.
âWhatâŠâ
âI want to make you feel good. I want to take care of you, please let me.â He sounds so desperate, like he would do anything for this and you are not strong enough to deny it from him.
Itâs just his pity. Heâs been using you for his needs, now he wants to give some back, itâs nothing more, you think to yourself. It canât be more.
You lack the willpower to make a rational decision, so as you stare up into his eyes that appear so dark due to the lack of proper lighting, you just nod before he leans down and kisses you again.
He holds himself up on one arm while his free hand wanders down your body, touching you at places you have never felt him before. He palms your left breast, squeezing it gently and it makes you moan into his mouth before his hand moves down the curve of your waist until it reaches your sleeping shorts. Your body is burning for him and you canât stop it from reacting to everything he does. You buckle your hips up when you feel his fingers gently graze along your pubic bone, even though youâre still fully clothed.
âWhat do you want me to do, Angel? Iâll do anything you want me to,â he pants between kisses as his hand moves to cup your heated core, making you moan again from the sensation of his touch there.
âI need you,â is all you manage to get out.
âIâm right here. You got me. What do you want me to do? Please, tell me, Angel,â he whines, forehead pressed against yours and his hips fall, pressing against your thigh, making you realize how excited he has gotten. His erection is hard under the fabric of his boxers, almost aching to be freed. Thereâs no way you can take any teasing or a long foreplay. You need him inside you now before you burst.
âHarry, I need you inside me. Please,â you whimper, almost cry, before he kisses you again, hard and demanding as he simply pushes your shorts down, revealing your naked sex since you donât wear any underwear to bed. You grab the waistband of his boxers too and push it down until he can wiggle his legs out of them, leaving him completely naked in your bed while you still have a top covering your upper body, however he is quick to change that. He grabs the hem and starts pulling it off, your hands helping him so a few moments later youâre completely naked underneath him.
âFuck, Angel,â he breathes out, his perfect, pink lips attacking the side of your throat, kissing and nibbling on the skin, going down to your breasts, giving the same amount of attention to both while you turn into jelly under his touch. lacing your fingers through his hair you cry out his name as you can feel him leaving a mark on your left breast, his tongue swirling against the spot he just completely destroyed before he brings himself back up so he can kiss you again and again with so much hunger, itâs hard to tell where you end and where he starts. Everything melts together and youâre such a mess in every possible way.
His hand gently reaches down between your legs and parts your shaking thighs before he cups you drenched pussy, his middle finger sliding between your folds, a shameless moan slipping from your mouth, right into his as your lips are still attached.
âSo wet, I canât wait to make you feel good, baby. Let me make you feel good.â
âHarry, just⊠please,â you pant, surely feeling yourself lose the last bits of your nerves.
âDâyou have a condom?â he asks, head lifting up a bit so he can look into your eyes.
âI-In my, um, the makeup bag,â you try to explain gesturing towards your dresser where your makeup bag sits on top, two condoms somewhere inside it. Harry pecks your lips before pulling away from you, the lack of his weight on top of you making you shiver.
He digs into the bag until he finds what heâs been looking for, tearing the packaging open with his teeth and he rolls it on while he walks back, not wasting another moment. You cling onto him like a koala bear once he is back in bed, his massive body covering you again.
âJust tell me how you like it, Iâll do anything,â he mumbles against your shivering lips as he pushes the head in first, stopping for a second before the rest of his cock buries inside you, completely taking your breath away. He is bigger than anyone youâve ever been with, filling up every inch of you, your walls stretching around him as he stills once he is all the way inside you.
This is it. This is the moment youâve imagined oh so many times, feeling him the closest possible, his cock buried inside you, his cheek pressed against yours as he holds himself up on top of you. Years of yearning and endless nights when you imagined your hand was his⊠and now itâs your reality. And though you know itâs gonna change everything, you canât tell yourself to stop.
Harry lifts his head, pecking your lips gently, calling you Angel over and over again as he starts moving, the friction between your legs growing with each thrust. He fits inside you so well, you wonât be able to enjoy sex with anyone else now that youâve experienced it with Harry. All of a sudden, he has become the epitome of your whole life.
âTell me what you want, Angel. Do you want me to go slow or fast? Tell me how to make you feel good.â His lips brush against yours with each word while youâre just trying to catch your breath, fingers digging into his back, the euphoria building up inside you gradually.
âA little faster,â you breathe out, speaking feels like a hard task at the moment. Harry picks his pace up, finding just the right rhythm that makes you wrap your legs around his waist so he can go even deeper with each thrust he makes.
âLook at me, Angel. Let me see your eyes,â he begs, his hand cupping your cheek. He runs his thumb along the line of your lower lip before he takes it between his lips, tugging on it gently, kissing you like youâre his last breath on Earth. He is devouring you, body melts together with yours, all your senses are strictly focused on him. He is all you see, hear, feel and taste.
Your gaze meets his and the way he looks at you, like youâre his whole entire world, it makes your eyes tear up. You want it to be true, you want it to be reality, you want it to be more than just about needs and satisfaction, but itâs not and your consciousness is not letting you believe otherwise.
âOh Angel,â he softly hums, wiping away a tear that escaped the corner of your eye and ran down the side of your face. Keeping up his rhythm he kisses along your jawline, your cheek, your lips, the side of your face, the bridge of your nose, everywhere he can before returning to your lips with a hungry, passion filled kiss.
âHarryâŠâ you whimper, holding your thighs tighter around his waist as you feel yourself nearing the edge.
âLet it go for me, Angel. I wanna see you feel good, cum for me,â he tells you, eyes never leaving yours as you are ready to burst underneath him.
âHarry, I-I need you!â The words fall from your lips as a desperate beg, arms wrapping around his torso tight, as if he could disappear from your embrace any moment.
âIâm right here, Angel. Right here,â he soothes you, kissing your lips sweetly as proof that he is not just a trick your mind is playing on you. âAre you close, baby? Are you gonna cum for me?â
âYes! Yes!â you pant, losing control over your body and all your senses. Itâs gonna be intense, you can tell and it hasnât even started yet, you just know itâll shake you to the core.
âGood girl. Let me make you feel good.â
âSo good,â you breathe out before Harry occupies your lips with his once again.
It doesnât take long. He keeps thrusting in the perfect angle and it throws you right over the edge. Harry demands you look him in the eyes when your orgasm wash you over and the intensity of it all almost makes you cry again. You burst, lose yourself under him, screaming his name as if you were praying to all higher forces. In a way, you are, because for a moment you really think you completely vanish from this world.
Harry follows you just a few more thrusts later, falling out of his rhythm as he grunts and moans your name, face buried into the crook of your neck while you tug on his hair, the feeling of his soft locks between your fingers is like pure heaven.
He stills, but stays inside you as he looks up, his eyes filled with satisfaction and contentment as he cups your face again, kissing you long, taking his time with you.
As you come off your high and the clouds of euphoria clears off, reality sets in more painfully than ever. Your limbs are paralyzed and you feel like you are outside your own body, just watching everything happen as if you were a third person in the room. Harry rolls to the side, chest heaving wildly as he is trying to regulate himself. Once he is able to breathe without panting, he pecks your shoulder gently and makes a quick round to the bathroom. You hear water running and then his feet padding on the floor, but you canât bring yourself to move, you just lie there, completely drained out. It doesnât change even when Harry gently cleans you off with a damp washing cloth, throwing it to the side to take care of it in the morning. He pulls the covers over the two of you and scoops you into his arms. You manage to bring your arm up to his chest as your head rests on his shoulder. His fingers are dancing up and down your arm, his steady breathing keeping your overcrowded head grounded. And then⊠he starts singing so softly, itâs almost just a whisper.
âHey Angel, oh, I wish I could be more like you. Do you wish you could be more like me?â
Your eyes shut close, the damn tears flooding again, but you keep your sobs drowned in your throat. Instead you force yourself to sleep and hope you live to see the morning, because you feel like your heart is about to give up on you.
 When you wake up, you genuinely feel like youâve drunk through last night and now have the worst hangover. Itâs like youâve been hit on the head with a chair. You slowly come to your senses and realize that youâre completely naked in bed and thereâs a body curled to your side, equally naked.
The shock sets in first because you realize, once again, that what happened last night wasnât just a fever dream, it actually happened. And then you basically jump out of bed when you look at the small digital clock on the bedside and see that the two of you have ten minutes to leave if you donât want to be late to the last day of filming.
âHarry! Harry get up!â you smack him, kicking the covers off and grabbing your top and shorts from the floor, quickly putting them on. The man in talk growls, just rolling to his back without even opening his eyes. âHarry damn it! We have ten minutes or youâll be late!â you snap at him and it somewhat wakes him up. With furrowed eyebrows at puckered lips, he lifts his head up and looks around.
Those lips were kissing you last night.
âWhat?â he mumbles in confusion.
âWe overslept, get up. We have⊠eight minutes left.â
âShit,â he mumbles under his breath, finally getting out of bed, reaching for his boxers.
Itâs a shitshow as the two of you try to get ready on time and though you are running just a few minutes late, the driver of the taxi manages to speed down the streets fast enough that you arrive to set just in time.
During the whole ride, you feel Harryâs burning eyes on you, but thank God, you get a call from Jeffrey the moment you get into the car and it lasts the whole ride so you donât have to talk with him about what happened last night.
âY/N,â he tries when youâre still on the phone and he is already done with hair and makeup, heading to set to start filming.
âWhat?â you mouth at him.
âCan we talk later?â
âIâm busy. Go, Iâm sure they are waiting for you,â you whisper to him and he looks so disappointed, but he nods and walks away. Your heart breaks as you lower the phone. You have been out of the call for some time, just didnât want to talk to him.
Quite frankly, youâre not ready to talk to him about what happened last night. You donât want to hear him say that he was just trying to help you out last night, that it wasnât anything serious, just some messing around. It was just two people trying not to feel lonely.
Walking back into his trailer you can feel your chest tightening, a sharp pain shooting right into your heart the more you think about him. It was a mistake, you shouldnât have done it because you are the one with the feelings and now you are the one struggling with the consequences of your little get together.
The more you think about it, the worse it gets and you feel like youâre about to suffocate. You need to get out of here, thereâs no way you can face him now.
It all happens so fast. Before you can even second guess your decision, youâre on your way back to the apartment to pack all your stuff and get on the first flight back home. You need to put distance between you and him, spending one more night in the same apartment would make you go nuts. So while Harry is filming, completely oblivious to what youâre doing, you pack up your room as fast as possible and head to the airport to hop on the plane that leaves at four pm.
With a racing heart you check all your baggage in and make it through security when Harry first calls you. At first, you want to ignore it, but then you find yourself swiping your thumb across the screen.
âHey,â you shortly greet him.
âHey, where are you? Have been looking for you everywhere.â
âI um⊠Iâm at the airport,â you answer and the silence on the other end is deafening for a moment.
âYou are at the what?â he then snaps.
âI had a, um, kind of emergency, so Iâm heading back home now. Sorry, I would have called you, but didnât know when youâd be off set.â
âYou fucking packed and left already? Youâre really at the airport?â He is fuming, Raging. You can tell he is pacing in the trailer, vigorously running his fingers through his hair, ruining it without a care. You almost feel guilty, but then again, you just know facing him now would break you. Youâll get back to him when youâve pulled your shit together.
âI am, calm down, alright? Not a big deal.â
âYou just left on our last day here without a fucking word! And when am I seeing you again?â
âI, uhhâI need to be home for a while, but youâll be fine. Iâll stay in touch with you in email and text.â
âFucking text? Email?â he is barking now. Good thing you are not there because it would be a disaster. âY/N, you canât be serious. We-we were supposed to talk. You canât just fucking disappear like this.â
âWeâll talk, alright?â
âWhen?â
âLater,â you simply tell him at a loss for a better answer. Hopefully, never, you think to yourself, but donât say it out loud.
âOkay, youâre not doing this. Donât you dare get on a plane, Iâm going to the airport right now. Youâre not leaving.â
âWell, I am and youâre not coming here,â you clap back, but you can already hear him moving around, probably gathering his stuff so he can leave right away.
âSwear to God if you get on that plane, Iâmââ He cuts himself off, no idea what to really say and you just sigh, closing your eyes. People rush by you and as you glance at the big screen you see that your plane is boarding.
âHarry, just⊠itâll be better like this, alright? Youâll be fine, Iâll see you⊠when I see you. Have fun on your last day on set.â
You end the call before he could get another word out and put it on airplane mode right away as you grab your backpack and head to your gate.
Using your time on the plane wisely, you put together a very detailed schedule for Harry so he knows everything about his next few weeks and you can minimize your contact with him. You even set up a bunch of reminders in his calendar so he wonât miss his appointments.
When you set feet on the ground again, you expect the distance between you and Harry to feel comforting and freeing, but itâs the opposite. An ache in your chest is getting heavier as you get yourself a taxi and head home, feeling more alone than ever in your life.
Your home doesnât feel like a home. Not without that one person who could make any place your home, but you canât see him right now, not until you learn how to exist around him without the urge to faint.
Going to bed alone is pure torture. Every moment you are waiting to hear Harry shuffling around in the apartment, you miss his little snorts when he is watching the TV, his singing coming from the shower, but most importantly, you miss having him so close to you in bed. Now that youâre lying on your own, your bed feels so cold, it brings you tears as reality sets in. You miss him. You miss him more than anything and you canât imagine a time when it wonât hurt anymore.
The crying pushes you into a shallow slumber sometime in the middle of the night, however, youâre rudely shaken back to consciousness when you hear someone banging on your door like crazy, pushing the doorbell constantly.
âJesus fuck,â you mumble with a grimace, pulling a hoodie on as you make your way to the door hazily, probably still half asleep because you open the door without checking who it is through the peephole and you end up staring up at none other than Harry. âWhat theâWhat are you doing here?â you breathe out, panic sets in fast and your hands start shaking at the sight of him.
Harry steps inside without invitation and closes the door behind him, a stern expression on his handsome face.
âY/N, what the fuck were you thinking when you left like that?â
âI-I told you, it was an emergency.â
âWhat kind of emergency? Because I called your mom and sisters, they all said nothing happened in the family, so what could possibly happen that needed you here immediately?â
âI donât have to explain shit to you.â Shaking your head you try to step back to put some distance between the two of you, but he doesnât let you, taking a step forward at the same time.
âWell I think we have a lot to talk about after last night, donât you think?â
âI donât want to talk,â you shake your head biting into your bottom lip. This wasnât supposed to happen, why couldnât he just stay where he was? âHow did you even get here so fast?â
âLeft as soon as we wrapped.â
âWhere are all your stuff?â
âLeft everything there, Iâll just go back and pack it up, it doesnât matter. What matters is that for a girl who genuinely hates any form of working out, you ran pretty fast from you today.â
Any other day you would have laughed at his comparison, but not today. You just stand there, chewing on the inside of your cheeks as you try to figure out what to do or say. You were not ready to face him so soon.
âWhat do you want me to say?â you ask desperately, throwing your hands into the air.
âTell me what it meant for you,â he calmly answers and you want to shake him. How is he so peaceful?
âNo,â you shake your head. âIâm not doing this to myself, okay? I need time, Harry.â
âFor what?â
âSo I can get myself over this, alright? I need time, Iâfuck this,â you growl, feeling the tears flooding your eyes again. Damn it!
âWhy the fuck do you want to get yourself over it?â
âBecause it obviously didnât mean the same thing to me as it meant to you!â you snap at him and he raises his eyebrows at you in a way that tells you âyouâre stupidâ.
âWhat do you think it meant to me?â
âProbably nothing,â you scoff rolling your eyes, but the anger that bursts from him quickly washes your attitude away.
âFucking nothing? You think I would get on a fucking plane first thing after filming for ten hours straight just to come after you? You think I spent all my nights with you these past weeks because you mean nothing to me? You know, for a smart girl, you can be pretty dumb sometimes.â
You blink at him in utter confusion, his words knocked you off your feet. He exhales sharply, long fingers running through his messy curls as he tries his best to calm himself down. When he is finally breathing somewhat normally his wildly vibrant green eyes meet your widened stare.
âY/N, I thought we were on the same page. What did you think it was all about?â he softly asks, seeing how shook you still are.
âI, uhhâI thought this was all just some kind of distraction. You said you were feeling lonely, I thought you were just⊠kind of using me. And then last night was you returning the favor.â
âHell no,â he breathes out shaking his head as he steps closer and this time you donât back away from him. You let his hands run down your arms until they find your hands. âI thought this was clear, but Iâm gonna say it then. Iâm in love with you, Y/N, have been for a long time, I was just being a pussy and didnât know how youâd take it. But then, when you didnât kick me out of your bed the first night we slept together, it got me hoping and it was all heading just the right direction. Then last night happened and I was so damn sure this would be our turning point but thenâŠâ He breathes out shakily again, as if the thought still upsets him. âWhen I called you and you said you were at the airport⊠I love you, Angel, but I was ready to murder you.â
You let out a faint chuckle, feeling the tears bubbling in your eyes.
âWhy did you run away instead of talking to me? Did you not trust me?â he asks softly, a hand coming up to cup your jaw gently.
âI didnât trust myself,â you admit weakly.
âOh AngelâŠâ Leaning down he kisses your forehead tenderly, his lips feel like soft feathers against your hot skin. âDo you need me to tell you again how in love I am with you or are you gonna believe me? Youâre not planning to run away again, are you?â he teases you making you chuckle as you shake your head.
âIâm not gonna run away, but I would love to hear you say you love me again.â
âI love you. I love you so fucking much, Angel, donât you ever think otherwise for a moment, okay?â
You nod, lips curling into your mouth as your teary eyes meet his green orbs.
âI love you too, Harry.â
âYou have no idea how long Iâve been waiting to hear you say that,â he chuckles breathing out in relief and it makes you smile. âI would never just use you. Love you way too much for that, Angel. You are everything to me.â
âWish I knew that earlier,â you mumble with a bitter chuckle. It would have saved you a lot of tears.
âI will never stop saying it to you.â His forehead rests against yours, noses touching as his arms curl around your frame, pulling you close to him until youâre pressed up against his hard chest. âJust out of curiosity, what were you thinking when I told you, you reminded me of Hey Angel? Because I think it pretty much gave me away, but apparently, I was wrong,â he chuckles lowly, pulling back a little so he can look you in the eyes.
âI honestly have no idea,â you admit with an awkward chuckle. âI just had a conversation with Florence before that where she called me out about my feelings for you and I was still kind of in shock. Probably took it as just your usual flirty behavior.â
âIâll admit I do flirt some, but havenât you realized itâs different with you?â
âI guess not.â
âAngel, you are⊠something else,â he chuckles in disbelief before leaning down he finally presses his lips against yours. You giggle into his lips, arms wrapping around his neck as he lifts you up from the ground, twirling you around, a squeal slipping from your mouth.
âSo, now you have to go back to pack your stuff?â you question, still wrapped into his arms completely and you donât want to exist any other way. This is where you belong.
âYeah. Had to chase down this Angel who thought she could run away from me.â
âSo how are you planning to get to New York by four tomorrow when youâre still here and have to go back to pack? Have you checked the schedule I sent you? Youâre not gonna make it.â You cock your head to the side with an arched brow.
âDid you just go back to full assistant mode right after we confessed our love for each other?â
âSomeone has to be responsible and we both know itâs always me.â
âIâll just hire someone to do it for me, Iâll leave to New York from here. Happy?â he grins at you as you nod.
âVery. Because this means you can stay the night here.â
âSeeing the fact that I literally have nowhere else to go, because even my house keys are in the suitcase I left back⊠I very much need to stay here for the night,â he points out.
âGood. Come on, my bed felt empty without you,â you giggle, pulling him towards your bedroom and he follows you eagerly.
âI can definitely help that.â

Keep holding my hand.
Harry was in an emotionally abusive relationship before y/n, something happens that makes his insecurities float back.
Impetuous reel of dithery thoughts rapidly bustles on the wall, Harry stares at it blankly â he stares and stares and stares ..... yet it does nothing for what he wishes.
His stomach fills with acid and his mouth burns with foulness with each painful beat his heart gives realizing maybe this's the end ---- he doesnât spare a glance to the dinner wafting off he cooked with much happiness looking forward to tonight.
Where did I went wrong?
Did I hurt her in any way? What if she didnât like me popping up at her studio that day to remind her of tonight
Well Keat didnât like it ..... She used to hate it Infact,
No! Sheâs not like keat â--
But, then why isnât she picking your phone? She knew, promised and she still didnât came tonight?
What if sheâs sick? Fuck, then I should go to her.
He shuts his screaming conscience down, shoving the heels of his palm against his pop-sockets wearily to make him feel something --- to escape the hurt thatâs looming around him, crushing and squeezing him to death.
He blows off the candles, melted to their base from being sorrowfully lit from three hours atleast --- mocking him and his sincerity.
You deserve this.
Why did yâthink ye' deserved anybodyâs love?
She doesnât love you anymore --- just like keat....
The corners of his glossy eyes prickles with pearly tears and it drops down his clavicles, with blurry vision he dials her one last time and it goes straight to her voicemail alike past three hours.
Hiya, Y/N here! Leave a message âcos I mighty be busy or maybe lazyin' round the farthest corner of my home .......
He tosses and turns, does it manifold times --- his sleep betrays him too and heâs angry soaring with venom, if he could scream from a cliff and throw stones down the pound furiously he'd instead his eyes runs droopy.
His shuddering breath sulks to tranquillity, all he could hearâs a screech of wind thatâs hitting the window and his guts.
His body jerks at the chirp of voice heâs oh so familiar with â- other days he'd be submerging in the honeyness of it but at the moment he bites down his wrist to keep him wrenching his empty stomach out.
âHappy anniversary, bub!â His brows clinches down into a grumblish frown and he presses his hand between his thighs turning his back upon hearing the careful steps treading in.
The creaking stalls and she stands at his doorway with heavy heart, her throat â-- uff her throat feels like as if someone punched it several times.
Not letting her tongue to utter any word â- anything thatâd assure him and her, everythingâs alright --- itâs not a big deal.
Ofcourse, it is!
Little things matters most to him â told you â- he .. â he told you himself and you hurt him, you hurt him just because you couldnât stand to your boss.
She wanted it to be perfect for him, for them â winded up the work her boss hoarded on her mercilessly last minute demanding her to wrap it up in an hour --- felt giddy and motivated to do it speedily looking forward to their celebration. Bought his favourite chocolate moose cake standing in the line of his favourite bakery, since he doesnât like any other flavour.
She stands at the side bed looking down at him, heartbreaking in million pieces seeing him torn, all teary cheeks and this stoic for the first time theyâve been dating.
ââM sorry -- I â- my boss trapped me and â ân I really wanted to call you â-- then it took me forever at your favourite bakery, Iâm so sorry baby.â She rambles nebbish-ly and catches onto his shoulder when he tries to face away from her.
He mutters, âForget bout it. Go back home âs getting late.â Though, his heart lurches forward to embrace her and shower her in kisses telling her âitâs totally fine.â And that âhow bout we celebrate now,â but being an emotionally sensitive person has it's very cons and one of it is requiring space and time to recover for better thinking.
His eyes slips into abyss and he holds back a sniffle when he feels the mattress dip behind him, she sighs, coos in the softest voice she only keeps it for her lover, âOh baby .... youâre my home.â She's well aware of the anxiety he goes through. He feels like everything crumbling but she's there to catch him and she rubs his back.
The many many reassurances he needs from his lovie to keep going for them, the praises for him for treating her like the most precious daffodil â- because he never got praised before; even though how much of the worldâs luxuries he'd lay at his ex's feet was never assured that how much she loves him (because she never did).
Y/N would never want his insecurities to float back and sting his scars, she'd never want him to ever go through from what he did in past â-- to be used like a toy and manipulated, might sound weird and whumpy of her but sheâd kill many dragons to keep him protected at any cost.
He sleeps with her body cocooning him from behind and his erratic breath syncs to her calm ones.
..
His dreams full of suffering, void and darkness violently clashing and swirling against eachother as the ugly creature takes Y/N away from him, leaving him in prison of his own pathetic head.
Fear of loss â- he fears loosing her and does it make him toxic? He was snubbed so many times â being told his behaviour was toxic that heâd hesitate before doing anything precisely very fondly caring â- but then Y/N came in his life and she'd tell him how much she appreciates him, how heâs like the best sundae in hot summer and he felt like sheâs the sunshine he was waiting for in the never-ending rainy days.
Y/N stirs from her light sleep on hearing the broken whimpers, the valley of her chest moist as he cries into her and she cups his cheeks gazing down at him concerned, âWhat happened sunny .... baby talk to me ...â Her voice groggy and on verge of tearing.
She sits back a little with him still between her legs and wipes his tears away gently, âIâm so sorry ...â He mumbles â-- eyes bloodshot and she shakes her head pulling him closer, if sheâd be able to cradle him in his lap she'd but apparently heâs too big.
Queasy hiccups, âf â fo'--... d â- dou...â sad sniffles and hiccups that tightens his chest.
She tenders his wobbly lip kissing his temple, âshhh. shhh, puppy I should be the one apologising yeah?â
âno .. I didnât gave another thought before doubting --- that â-- that youâre about to leave, no person in right mind does this â I â-,â His body trembles with blue sobs.
âHarry ...â she tries to gain his attention and when he still doesnât listen, âI know I donât deserve y'n â ân maybe you donât want me anymore â--â she raises it a bit, âHarry!â he falls quiet --- nibbling the corner of his cheek to hold back hiccups.
âLook at me puppy, yeah? Shh hold my hand and take a breather.â She smiles. Takes his sweaty hand and aligns his palm to her mouth for a deep kiss â then squeezes it.
âKeep holding it baby, keep holding my hand, youâre going to be fine --- we â see us here,â she points between them with gleamy eyes and he nods timidly wiping his nose with his sweater paw, âwe are fine baby â- we are okay..â
How could someone be this dreamy? This gentle and sweet? What did I do to deserve my lovie?
âBetter?â She inquires. Little worried that he'll fall back into rabbit hole and tucks his head under her chin, keeping him warm against her chest and he clutches the hem of her shirt nuzzling into her.
âDid you really think, Iâd leave you and that on our first year anniversary? Sorry to tell you .... âm stitched to your hip for life time, thereâs no exchange policy puppy how much you grump.â
She grins. Happy to earn a feeble chuckle from him and scratches his head, looping his curls around her fingers.
âI love you.â She startles when he speaks hoarsely after the longest time and itâs not like he's saying it for the first â-- but it still doesnât fail to engulf her in warmth, so much of it.
âI love you too, youâre my only puppy and very loved one.â His eyes crinkles prettily at that and she kisses the tip of his nose.
âYou want to rest? We could eat the dinner you dearly made for me and oh we got moose cake in fridge too, what a coincidence!â She giggles. The room fills with wet treacly noises of smoochy kisses sheâs patching on his cheeks and his jaw.
Without a word he holds her finger and leads her to kitchen, she creates proud noises of âooh!â and âahh!â trying to sneak a glimpse from over his shoulder but he'd shoo her away as he heats the food; she gets out gorgeous smiles from him she cherishes so much.
âYou did all of this for me?â She gasps sweetly, hand over heart to accentuate the love she's feeling and walks towards him when he nods timidly rubbing his socks feetsies one over the other.
His cheeks blazes peach and she giggles pinching them, âYouâre so cute arenât you?â
âOkay then. Letâs eat!â she claps her hands together and pecks his lips before pulling her chair beside him rather than opposite to him and his heart flutters at that --- each pore oozing with deep love for her and every insecurity and anxious ideas completely drains out of him when she pats his seat and wiggles in her own --- anticipated to taste what he made.
âHmm. This tastes so good, H! Your hands are really magical, huh?â She passes him a smirk pecking each of his knuckle to make him feel better about himself and his lips quirks up softly, âThank you â dâya w'na umm eat the moose here o'in bed?â Her face beams at that, him speaking more than two words and looking forward to spend the night with her.
âOn bed, please â-- would you like tea? Think âm running out of if â- proper jello ....â She cleans the table and raises her brows when he gazes her adorningly as sheâs the nymphs of stary oceans.
He shakes his head, nose twitchy as she nudges him teasingly and he takes her off-guard --- hugging her by waist and kisses her soft tummy.
âNothing just love you bleedinâ much.â

Reconcile
happy christmas eve, you lot! iâve got a little present for you. enjoy this 10,5k of nearly divorced harry trying to win his wife and bitter nine year old daughter back. oh and i threw in a little baby goat in the mix too since itâs set in the peak district and i just couldnât resist đ„ł
âPenny for your thoughts.â
He turned to look at her, who was giggling as she leaned closer to him. She was most definitely not a giggler sober, but he found out that a copious amount of alcohol could turn her into one. He felt slightly guilty knowing that she was going to be hungover as hell in the morning, but she was having a great time.
And so was he.
âI was just thinking about how great you are, how lucky I am to be sitting next to you right now and that you need to drink more water because otherwise, youâd be miserable tomorrow,â he says with a smile as he twisted the cap and handed her the bottle of water.
That goofy smile of hers turned into a gooey smile of affection. âThatâs so sweet,â she murmured, taking a gulp of water and handed the bottle back to him so he could take some too. She then tilted her head, giving him a doe-eyed look and asked, âwhat else do you like about me?â
âLetâs see,â he put a finger to his chin and tapped. âWell, I love how kind and inclusive you are, how you always care about people and that you always see the good in everyone.âÂ
Her smile grew sappier.
âOh,â he gave her a sly grin. âI also love that thing you do with your tongue on the underside of my cock.â
She burst out laughing. But then she leaned even closer to him and whispered huskily in his ear, âIâll do that very thing when we get back to the hotel.â
His eyes widened and he wanted nothing more than just to drag her back to their hotel suite and take up on her offer. But heâd promised her that heâd show her around Vegas since sheâd never been before, and he wanted to keep that promise.
âWanna know what I like about you?â She turned to him, still with a gooey smile on her face.
âDo I ever,â he smirked.
âI like that youâre hands down the kindest human Iâve ever met,â she began. âYouâre genuine, and grounded. Funny too. I truly hit the jackpot with you. Iâm the luckiest girl on earth.â
âOh,â she added as an afterthought. âAnd youâre really good with your tongue.â
He wanted to laugh, because she always made him laugh. But he was still stuck on the fact that she thought she was lucky to be with him. He felt exactly the same way about her, like this was always meant to be.Â
âI wasnât looking for this,â he admitted honestly. âI know itâs only been six weeks, but I really canât imagine never having met you.â
âMe too,â her eyes were bright, shining with excitement. âItâs weird, right? Because I swear Iâve never felt such a deep connection with someone this quick.â
âDo you believe in soulmates?â He murmured. âThat thereâs a perfect person for everyone out there?â
She tilted her head. âDo you think thatâs us?â
There was no hesitation in his answer. âI do think that might be us.â
âI think so too,â she said with a tender smile.
This was real.
He was overwhelmed with the understanding that she was his, and he never wanted to let her go.Â
So he suggested what any sane, semi-drunk man would at that moment. âWeâre in Vegas. We should get married.â
***
Harry
Pulling into the drive of what used to be our holiday cottage, but is now where my wife and children live full-time without me, feels strange to me. Thereâs that moment of what feels like a homecomingâthat sense of belonging somewhere where I feel safe, and I know my happiness is inside.
But now, for the first time in ten years, thereâs a sense of detachment that I know Iâve got to put in place. It is why I need to take a moment or two in the car before I walk inside to sort myself out and put on a shield. A shield which lets me walk inside, and be okay with the fact that I donât live there anymore even just for the holidays.Â
This charming little cottage, which canât exactly be called little since it is quite spacious and has three bedrooms, has always been more of a second home rather than a holiday home for us. We used to come here often, sometimes even only for the weekends. Iâve always loved this place. Now, looking back, I realised that many of the happiest times during our marriage were spent in this home.Â
It was where we spent the first few weeks soaking in newlywed bliss after that whirlwind of a trip to Las Vegas when we decided out of nowhere to tie the knot. Then there were the sleepless nights with a wailing newborn, because even though both of our babies were born in London, we always whisked them off here to Bakewell shortly after so we were close enough that both sets of their grandparents could dote on them during the first few weeks of their lives.
After I exit the car, I walk up to the front door and ring the doorbell. I donât feel comfortable walking in as I respect that this is YNâs sanctuary now. The wait isnât long, because in just a few seconds, the door is opened and thereâs my wife, looking like a breath of fresh air.
It had been eight long months since the last time I saw her. Last time was the night when she asked me to leave our marital home, and I fled to LA first thing the next morning. I talked daily with the kids on the phone, but I didnât really recall ever getting the chance to talk to her aside from the quick polite greetings before she handed her phone to the kids.
âHey,â she says, her expression a bit guarded. Iâve missed her so much that it takes everything in me to keep myself from pulling her into my arms and kiss the fuck out of her. âCome in.â
âYou alright?â I ask her as I follow her into the house. This may sound like Iâm just making a small talk, but Iâm not. Iâm genuinely curious and I want to know how sheâs doing.Â
But she doesnât even respond to my question. All I get is a head-tilt motioning towards the kitchen. âTheyâre in the kitchen.â
My gaze immediately lands on the accent table that holds a lot of photos and a key bowl. I silently let out a sigh of relief seeing YN hasnât removed all of the family photos with me in it. Itâs a good sign, but I donât have much hope behind that. Maybe thatâs just her trying to keep everything as normal as possible at home for the kids.Â
My wife and I never had a big fight when we separated. It had been somewhat rational, but still emotional, discussion. She wasnât angry, she was just done. And I didnât fight for her. Instead, yours truly here walked away the next morning and didnât look back.
Iâve done a lot of dumb things in my life. But nothing ever compares to that. That was pretty fucking stupid on my part, and I know Iâll regret it for the rest of my life.
Iâve accepted that maybe this is my punishment for being a shit husband to a wonderful woman who doesnât deserve to be treated like a second best. She did the right thing by kicking me to the curb, and Iâd never resent her for it. If I could turn back time and change everything, I would in a heartbeat. Iâd try harder to be a better husband, a better father, put my family first. But I canât. Now all I can do is just try not to be a dickhead and make things harder for her than it already is. Itâs too late for me to try to be a better husband, but it isnât for me to try to be the best father that my children deserve.Â
I follow my wife through the living room and into the kitchen, and Iâd be dead not to check out her arse in those leggings. Itâs something I quickly avert my eyes from, though, as I realise both of my children are sitting at the kitchen island, eating scones with their tea.Â
George, my six-year-old, is the first to turn his head and hop off from the island stool to jump into my arms. âDaddeeeeee!â
âMy Booger Butt,â I greet my little lad with a smile as I squat down to be on his level before scooping him up into my arms. Booger Butt is one of the countless nicknames I have for him, and one that never fails to make him double over in laughter whenever he hears it. Heâs also Mr Tadpole Climbing a Beanpole sometimes, and he used to be Sir Screams-a-Lot when he was a baby. He thinks theyâre hilarious, and heâd always respond by calling me Baddy Daddy.Â
âIâve missed you so much, Baddy Daddy,â he says sweetly as he nuzzles his head into the crook of my neck and I swear if I donât pull myself together right this second, Iâm going to cry.Â
âIâve missed you more, mate,â I say as I ruffle his hair and kiss his cheek. âI love you.âÂ
My daughter doesnât seem fazed by the father and son reunion behind her and continues munching on her scone without even giving me a glance. With my left arm full of my son, I walk up to her and ruffle her hair just like I did with her little brother. âHey Silly Putty Pudding Pie,â I greet her with one of her nicknames, hoping to get her to laugh. But she ignores me, taking a sip of her brew instead.Â
I donât want to give up, so I lean to the side and bend to put my face close to hers. I try again, âhello to you too, poppet.â
âWhatever,â she mumbles around a mouthful of scone.Â
âMinnie,â YN growls, her tone filled with warning.
This is why I respect YN so much. I hurt her badly, broke her heart, and it wouldâve been so easy for her to use Minnie as a pawn and turn my child against me. But every time, even on the phone, whenever she is present, she never let Minnie be disrespectful to me in any way.
My gaze moves to my wifeâyes Iâm still going to refer to her as my wife since she still is, albeit only on paperâand she gives me an apologetic look. I give a slight shake of my head, telling her silently to let it go.Â
She takes the last bite of her scone and puts the dish in the sink, before walking to the staircase without giving me a second glance. I can see YN trying to hold her tongue from further rebuking our daughter, and I give her a small smile, my silent way of telling her âitâs okay.â
âSorry about that,â she mutters, referring to Minnieâs attitude. She grabs a mug from the cupboard, then holds it up in silent invitation. I nod, and she turns to the pot. âI canât keep up with her mood shifts anymore.â
âItâs alright,â I tell her, willing to take my share of the blame. âIâm sure the shift has everything to do with me.â
âNot true,â she replies as she pours the coffee into our mugs, adding a splash of milk to hers but keeping mine just like that because she knows I take my coffee black. âSheâs been like that with me as well and Iâm not sure why. Sheâs only nine but she acts as if sheâs thirteen already.â
I canât help but laugh and turn to my little lad. âCan you be six forever?â
âNo,â he says immediately without even taking a second to think.
âJust no?â
âNo,â he gives me a toothy grin. âI want a lego city set but mummy said itâs for eight-year-olds. So I cannot wait to be eight.â
I set him on the counter and give him a conspiratorial smirk before I whisper to him. Itâs a little too loud to be considered a whisper, but I want my wife to hear it. âTell you what, weâll get one of those sets tomorrow on our day out.â
His eyes light up instantly and my wife rolls her eyes jokingly, âI hear that.â Jokingly, because I know for sure she doesnât mind me spoiling our children. She does it too.Â
âWhere are you taking them tomorrow?â
âTo your mumâs pudding shop for breakfast, then probably fishing, and the toys shop now apparently,â I tell her our itinerary. I have the kids for the whole day tomorrow since itâs Saturday. Itâs bittersweet because Iâve missed my children and I canât wait to spend time with them, but Iâm also sad because what I wouldnât give to turn tomorrow into a family day out instead. I know she would most likely decline, but I canât help offer her, âwould you like to come with us?â
She gives me a subtle shake of her head. âNo thanks. Enjoy it, itâs your time with them.â
***
Iâm renting a room above The Old Nags Head during my stay here. I plan to stay for a week before I have to go back to London, and even though the thought of having to leave my children again is killing me, Iâm trying to cheer myself up by reminding myself that itâll be Christmas soon enough and Iâll get to visit again.
But then Iâll have to leave again.Â
And visit again, but knowing in just a week or two, I would have to say goodbye to them again.
Fuck, this is killing me. Iâm a family man through and through, and not being with them physically hurts. I shouldnât be in this room sulking alone. I should be there in that home with my wife and children, probably helping Minnie and George with their homework or making dinner for all of us.
I was prepared to sulk some more, but then I heard a knock on the door. I was not expecting company so Iâve got no idea who it is, and Iâm quite surprised when I see Jamie, YNâs brother as I open the door.Â
We were quite close, but now that I broke his little sisterâs heart, I canât tell if this is a pleasant visit or if heâs just here to knock me square on my arse.Â
âGot time for tea downstairs?â He asks
Honestly, I havenât got any appetite. But I could use a few pints so I nod and lock the door behind me, following him downstairs to the pub.Â
The Old Nags Head is the oldest and most famous pub in Bakewell. The pub itself is a former smithy dating back to the 16th century, and certainly looks the part; thick stone walls, low ceilings, welcoming log fires and dark timber beams. The pub remains at the centre of the community, as it has been for hundreds of years. It offers the best classic pub grubs, and even has its own ale called the Nags 1577.Â
Itâs the perfect place to drown my sorrows.Â
Except, the current owner of that very pub happens to be none other than my wifeâs granddad whom everyone here calls Pop. Out of all members of her family, she is the closest to Pop, so I know for sure that Iâm the last person he wants to see.Â
We sit at the bar table facing the window, which is good because Pop is behind the main bar, and this way I donât have to actually talk to him.Â
âYa want owt?â Jamie asks as he does a quick perusal of the menu. Iâm not even sure why he bothers, because even I know what heâs going to order. Itâs Popâs signature steak and ale pie. Ten years of being his brother in law, not once I ever saw him order something else.Â
âJust a pint,â I tell him.Â
It doesnât take long after Jamie orders his food and our drinks before two pints are placed before us, and we each take a savouring sip.
And then Jamie point-blank asks me, âso what did you do?â
I really canât tell anything from his expression, because he keeps his face blank. But I give him a bark of mirthless laughter. âItâs what I didnât do, mate. She didnât say anything?â
âNot a word,â he shakes his head, âwhat didnât you do?â
âI stopped paying attention to my wife. Got caught up in my career. The travelling for tours she understood, but it was when I was home and hanging out more with my bandmates than with my family that she couldnât forgive. And what little time I had left, I gave to Minnie and George. I think I just stupidly assumed she would always be there for me, no matter what.â
âWas there any infidelity?â He asks.
âGod, no,â I shake my head hard. âYou know Iâd never do that to your sister. I love her, and sheâs more than enough for me.â
Obviously, Iâm not going to tell him this, but ironically, our sex life didnât diminish. We were combustible in bed, and my mistake was in thinking that was enough for her.Â
I look at the pudding shop right across the street as I take another sip, and I nearly choke on my beer when I see a familiar face walking out of the shop.Â
âWhat in the ever-loving fuck?â I growl.Â
Thatâs my wife, walking out of her mumâs pudding shop. She is not alone. Thereâs a guy with his hand pressed to her lower back while her head is tipped back, laughing at something heâs saying. I suddenly feel sick to my stomach when the bastardâs palm drops from my wifeâs back to take her hand, lacing his fingers with hers. She smiles, all doe-eyed, as they walk to God knows where.Â
âWhat?â Jamie looks at me confused for a second, but then he follows my gaze and he finally sees whatâs causing me distress. âOh, that.â
âYou knew about that?â
He nods. âSheâs been seeing him for about three weeks now.â
âFuck,â I mutter and pinch the bridge of my nose.
âShe didnât tell you?â Jamie asks and I shake my head.Â
âThree weeks you said?â
Jamie nods again. âHe makes her happy.â
âIâm her husband,â I canât help but say bitterly. âI should be the one making her happy.â
âLook, Iâm sorry mate,â he offers, I know heâs trying his best to keep his tone neutral. âMaybe you need to get back in the dating game too. Itâll distract you.â
âI donât want to fucking date anyone else,â I growl.
âI know itâs hard to get back in the saddle,â he adds sympathetically.
âI donât want to get out of my current saddle,â I grumble. âI want to keep my current saddle with my wife in it.â
Jamie blinks in surprise, hell Iâm even surprised at what Iâve just said out loud because Iâve never admitted this since we split. When YN asked me to leave, I assumed right away that my marriage was over. I didnât want it to, but I thought there was nothing I could do.Â
But now, seeing her laughing at another manâs joke and his hand holding hers, I just know that I canât let her go without a fight.Â
âHave you told her this?â He asks curiously.
I shake my head again. âWe havenât got the chance to have a civil conversation these days.â
âThen I suggest you stop being such a bloody whinge bucket and have a civil conversation with your wife.â
My shoulders immediately sag in defeat. âI know. I need to sit down with her and tell her how I feel.â
âWhich is?â He presses.
âThat I want her back,â I mutter.
âYouâve got to have a better plan than that,â he points out. âI mean⊠Iâm not a marriage therapist, but Iâm pretty sure that youâve got to be prepared to fix the shit first.â
I canât help but tilt my head towards the pudding shop where my wife had just walked out the door. âSheâs moved on. You said it yourself that he makes her happy. Tell me how to compete with that.â
âMake her happier,â he says simply. I can only let out a heavy sigh, but I know that's solid advice. âListen, if you really want to save your marriage, you need to make it work. Romance her again. Lots of flowers, nice romantic dinners out. Compliments, chocolates. All that sort of thing.â
âYou think thatâll work?â
âI donât know,â he answers truthfully. âBut I do know that youâll regret it for the rest of your life if you donât do anything about it.â
***
My emotions are a mixed bag this morning. Donât get me wrong, Iâm excited to spend the whole day with my kids, but the fact that I have just learnt last night that my wife is currently seeing another man doesnât sit right with me.
I know Jamie was right. If I want to save my marriage, I need to get my head out of my arse and do something to win my wife back. Sure, I donât even know where to start since she doesnât give me the time of day. But I do know that starting today, Iâm a man on a mission. Itâs Operation Conquer YN: day 1.Â
Itâs currently 8:40am, which means Iâm twenty minutes early. I hope the kids wonât be ready yet, so Iâll get a chance to talk for a little bit to my wife.
When I ring the doorbell, I can hear George pounding down the stairs, yelling, âI got it!â
The door flies open and he jumps into my arms right away. My little lad truly misses me, and it really does warm my heart. Now, I love my children equally, but before I got here yesterday, I thought Minnie would be the one to jump all over me since sheâs a daddyâs girl through and through, while George has always been a mummyâs boy since the day he was born.Â
But again, I shouldâve known. Since YN and I split, Minnie sort of puts herself in her mumâs corner. Every time I actually got the chance to talk to her on the phone when I was still in LA, it was always extremely short before she quickly handed her mumâs phone to her little brother. I try not to take her behaviour to heart, because I guess itâs what nine-year-olds do when they donât quite understand why their parents arenât together. They just need someone to blame, and my daughter is way more mature than her age. Sheâs bloody smart too, which she definitely takes after her mum, and I know that she knows itâs my fault that her mum and I separated.
Now that I think of it, itâs not just my wife that I desperately need to win back. But also my daughter.
âDaddy!â George chirps. Heâs got a milk moustache and the sight never fails to get me to chuckle. âYouâre early.â
âI know,â I reply with a tender smile. âI just canât wait to spend the day with you lot.âÂ
âIâm going to get ready!â He announces excitedly as he squirms in my arms wanting to be put down, and he runs up the stairs before I can even reply.
I look around, and my gaze lands on the sofa, a hazel leather sofa that YN picked out. Itâs so comfy and I could nap there forever.
Then thereâs the coffee table, where YN, Minnie, George and I sat around and played board games. Catan is our familyâs favourite, followed closely by Monopoly.Â
The corner where we always put the Christmas tree, right next to the fireplace. And every year it didnât matter how hard I tried, I could never get the bloody thing to stay straight.Â
I miss this little cottage. Sure, the house in South Kensington is our marital house, but this cosy little cottage in the middle of nowhere feels more like home to me. And now I truly get why YN was so adamant to move here permanently after we separated, didn't matter how hard I tried to persuade her to stay in London.
âYouâre early,â my wife blinks in surprise, but quickly masks it. âMinnie darling, go and get ready.â
âDo I really have to go?â My nine-year-old whines and I feel a pang. She really doesnât want to spend time with me.
âMinnie, thatâs not nice,â YN reprimands her before I can stop her.
âIâve missed you, poppet,â I say, wanting to look at her in the eyes but she refuses to meet my gaze. Which hurts, but itâs fine. I know itâll take some time for her to warm up to me. âI want to spend the day with you and your brother. I promise Iâll try to make it fun for you both.â
âFine,â she replies, before marching up the stairs to her room. Thereâs still a hint of sulkiness in her tone, but at least I didnât get a heavy sigh. I know itâs a small win but honestly, itâs better than none.
âCoffeeâs in the pot,â she tells me politely from where sheâs sitting at the island. She has her laptop open before her, and I can see her writing an email. I bet sheâs working today, even if itâs Saturday, because my wife is such a hard-worker. She works remotely for a consulting firm and Iâm beyond proud of her.
I nod and pour the coffee, and I let the silence carry on for a bit before saying, âsaw you getting cosy with your new boyfriend last night.â
She instantly looks up from her laptop, giving me a death glare. Her tone is defensive when she says, âthatâs none of your business.â
âYou couldâve at least told me that you were seeing someone,â I tell her, making elaborate gestures with my coffee mug.
âWhy would I do that?â She retorts defensively. âLast time I checked, you didnât give a shit about me when we were married. Why on earth would I assume you do now?â
Hearing that, it feels like Chuck Norris himself just kicked me in the nuts. I can only mutter, âweâre still married.â
âNot for long,â she replies faintly.
âDonât say that,â I say, my breath a little jagged. âWe can still fix this, darling. I know we can.â
âAre you mad?â She snaps, but then she takes a deep breath, and her tone is a lot calmer when she adds, âHarry, itâs too late.â
âNo, itâs not. Itâs never too late to get our marriage back on track,â I plead desperately. âWould you at least give me a shot?â
âWhat do you mean?â She frowns.Â
âYou can continue to see Mr Wife-stealer-â
âHeâs not a wife-stealer,â she snaps, cutting me off. âHeâs got a name.â
âWell, heâs stealing my wife,â I grumble like a stroppy child.
âYouâre being such a child,â she retorts. âHis name is Luke, heâs a decent guy, and he makes me happy.â
âIâm not afraid to go head to head with him,â I say defiantly.Â
âFuckâs sake, Harry, weâre not on a bloody Love Island,â she says in exasperation. âTwo children are involved here, this isnât a game.â
âI know it isnât,â I reply with a sigh. âJust please give me another shot, darling. Let me remind you how great we were together.â
âYou mean the sex?â She demands, one side of her upper lip curls in a sneer. Â
I bend my head and murmur, âwe were dynamite in the sack, werenât we?â
I see the flash in her eyes as she remembers, and it makes me want to beat my chest in victory. But the euphoric feeling is short-lived when she says, âa relationship is so much more than just sex. If you donât understand it then-â
âI do, fuck, I do know that,â I cut her off in a strangled, desperate voice. âAt least let me try, darling. Fuck if Iâm letting you go without a fight.â
We lapse into silence as she gives me a sceptical look, and I know in this moment that my biggest challenge is to regain her trust, as well as accepting the fact that she has someone else fighting for her attention.Â
I know this will be tough, because I let her down over and over again. And worse, I let my children down too, because I was never quite able to make my family my highest priority. It was all my fault, I knew it then, still do now. Thatâs why when she asked me to leave, I couldnât even argue. I was a shit husband and father, and I deserved that.
Trying to win Minnie is probably going to be the easiest because beneath this âtweenageâ attitude going on, I know she is a sweet girl who loves her daddy. I need to devote more attention to her, maybe take her on some daddy-daughter dates. I know itâll work because Iâve never given her enough on a consistent basis.Â
YN is going to be the most difficult, because I really broke her heart. Iâve been married to her for ten years, so I can say with confidence that I know for sure she would never fall for things like flowers or gifts. I have to show her that I genuinely want to fix our marriage, and that my interest in her is real. Itâll be like starting all over again.Â
And on top of that, sheâs seeing someone else and she said it herself that he does make her happy. I know sheâs not lying about it, as Jamie also told me the same thing last night and I saw with my own eyes how she laughed with him last night. Seeing that killed me, because I donât have the ability to make her laugh like that anymore, but I couldnât deny that there was a small part of me that was happy for her.
She may have sneered when I insinuated Iâd be glad to remind her of the good times, but I saw it in her eyes. There was still a slight burn, and that might just have to be my angle.Â
But then I remember our last time together. It was only two days before she asked me to leave and I remember coming home mid-morning after a meeting with my manager and publicist to find her lying in our bed, clad in sexy lingerie. I had my mouth on every inch of her, a good deal of time between her legs, and after she reciprocated by taking me into her mouth.
The kids were in school, and apparently, she took a sick day because I had told her the night before that I only had one meeting in the morning that day. After, she cuddled in close, and we talked for a while. She seemed happy, but then there was a hint of hesitation in her voice when she suggested, âfancy just spending all day in bed until school pick-ups?â
I mean, what man in his right mind would say no to that? The kids were gone for at least another five hours, I had a gorgeous wife naked and wanting more of what we just didâŠÂ
Yet, Iâd said no. âSorry, doll. Iâm meeting the lads at the studio in about an hour.â
I didnât see it then, but I do now and itâs clear as day. The look on her face had been blank, and there wasnât even disappointment like she would usually show me. She hadnât tried to get me to change my mind. There hadnât been a guilt-laden frown to give me pause.
I realise now what it was.
It was the moment my wife finally gave up on me.
My chest constricts as it finally dawns on me the pain she must have been feeling. Iâm not just talking about that day. That had been our life for several years.
No wonder she asked me to leave.
No wonder sheâs moving on with Mr Wife-stealer.
No wonder that, at this moment, I realise Iâve got tons of work to do because sex isnât going to be the answer in winning my wife back.
***
âWill the baby just eat when you give it the bottle?â Minnie asks her uncle Jamie as the four of us gaze at the baby goat in front of us. For the first time since yesterday, I actually see the slight curve up of lips that form a fond smile. Seeing that smile on my daughterâs face, Iâm glad we didnât go fishing and end up going to the barn instead. We were actually already on our way, but Jamie texted me that the mother goat had given birth this morning, and he wanted me to tell Minnie and George. The goats are a new addition to the farm, so they have been so excited to see baby goats. I knew from the look in their eyes that they would have a much better time seeing baby goats rather than fishing.Â
It turns out that thereâs only one baby goat, because the other one sadly didnât make it. And the dam isnât producing milk, so the kid needs to be bottle-fed until the mother is producing again. I canât help but smile fondly at the baby goat too because itâs adorable. Itâs a soft little white goat with a pink nose and ears. The dam is a Pygmy but since it has blue eyes, Jamie thinks she must have Nigerian Dwarf genes somewhere in her.
âItâs a female⊠a doeling,â Jamie tells her. âAnd she will if sheâs hungry. You want to try to feed her? Look, sheâs hungry again.â
We watch for a moment as the baby goat walks on wobbly legs, bleating in hunger. Jamie mixes the powdered formula and makes a bottle for her, then he hands the bottle to Minnie.
But Minnie shakes her head. âMaybe next time. I want to see you do it first.â
âAlright then,â Jamie nods, then turns towards my little lad. âHow about you, mate? Wanna feed her?â
âNo thank you,â says George as he shakes his head, and then he giggles, âshe smells funny.â
âCan I do it?â I ask and Jamie nods as he hands me the bottle.Â
I sit down against the wall with my children sitting on either side of me. And as if the goat can sense that I hold the key to filling her empty belly, the doeling starts to prance in excitement and falls over a few times due to what I assume is clumsiness. I love that she can walk normally but still choose chaosâhonestly, she couldâve been my third child. Thereâs no stopping the surge of fondness that swells within me as I watch her little antics.Â
âCome here little crumpet,â I coo at the goat.
The little goat scrambles right onto my lap, bleating hungrily. I wrap my arm around her and tip the bottle. She latches on instantly, and Minnie and George are aww-ing and ooh-ing over the way the baby goatâs little tail swishes back and forth so fast in ecstatic happiness as she drinks her milk.Â
âYouâre a hungry little thing, arenât you?â Minnie murmurs and the little tail swishes faster as she pushes at the bottle to suck the milk down faster. âWhatâs her name, uncle Jamie?â
âI havenât named her yet,â Jamie says. âWhat do you lot think we should call her?â
âBlue,â George suggests instantly, without looking away from the baby goat on my lap.Â
âOoh, I like it,â Minnie adds. âLike her eyes.â
âBlue it is, then,â Jamie grins. âNow, even though the dam is still not producing milk, we still need to train her to at least try to nurse, so sheâll do it right away when the dam is finally producing milk. Letâs see if we can get her to try to eat from the dam.â
He plucks the baby from my arms, and a series of yearning bleats come from the kid as he carries her to her mother. He places her near the damâs udders and gives the baby a gentle push.
Much to our surprise, Blue spins away from Jamie and her mother and runs back to me. Although in all fairness, I am holding the bottle she was just drinking from. Jamie attempts three more times to get the baby to try to nurse from her mother, but sheâs having none of it.Â
Finally, he takes the bottle from me and walks across to the opposite wall. He sits down, holds the bottle out, and calls to the doeling. âCome here, baby. Come eat.â
Blueâs tail gives a few nervous twitches, but she doesnât move towards Jamie. In fact, she takes a few hesitant steps backwards until she bumps into my legs. Iâm amazed as I watch her stare hungrily at the bottle, bleating hungrily, but refusing to go to Jamie.
âDaddy, she thinks youâre her mummy,â says George and both my children burst in laughter.
âWhat?â I say in astonishment.
âI donât think that doeling is going to feed from anyone but you,â Jamie adds with a chuckle as he stands up. He walks over and hands me the bottle. Blue jumps directly into my lap.
On autopilot, I offer the goat the nipple but look up to Jamie in panic. âWhat should we do?â
âDunno, Iâll just try and do it when sheâs hungry again in a few hours,â he shrugs. âBut if she still doesnât wanna eat, Iâll bring her to you.â
Any last vestiges of humour, happiness and downright giddiness over the cuteness of a baby goat fades as I realise I might or might not have just added another task to my list. Heavens help me.
***
âLetâs have a daddy and daughter date tomorrow.â
Itâs a solid suggestion, and I really hope sheâd say yes. Her little brother has his classmateâs birthday party to go to, so I know itâd be perfect for a little one-on-one time.Â
Weâre on our way back home after spending a whole day together. It was great, and even though I didnât have happy-go-lucky Minnie, George had a great time, and it was enough for me. And at least she didnât ask to go home early, so Iâd call that a win.
âNo, thanks,â she replies. Thereâs still not a hint of sulkiness in her tone, but it doesnât sound technically warm either.Â
I glance over through the rear-view mirror as she stares out the window with her arms folded. Her brother is sleeping next to her, and I figured this might be a good time to talk since sheâs trapped in the car with me.
Everyone always says that Minnie is a mini-me, while George is a carbon-copy of his mum. Minnie has my nose, eyebrows, chin, even my smile; which is slightly lopsided and has a dimple on one side. I know Iâm biased, but she truly is the most beautiful little girl Iâve ever seen.
Where Minnie shines, though, is her personality, which is a combination of her mum and me. She has her mumâs sunny dispositionâaside from the days where sheâs got a bag onâand always sees the good in everyone. Sheâs our little ray of sunshine, tender and caring and always trying to make others feel good.
From me, she gets her stubbornness, which even though I know is a good trait to have when sheâs older, it made things so much harder when she was a toddler. She also has my terrible sense of humour, but the thing Iâm most proud of is her work ethic. I canât take full credit for that though, because her mother is a hard worker as well.
Ever since she started distancing herself from me, I know which subjects are safe, and which are not. School always falls in the safe category, because she enjoys it and excels. So I figure now thatâs where I should start. âHowâs school going?â
âAlright,â she replies, still looking out the window.Â
Now, this really doesnât sound at all like my daughter.
âCome on, Min,â I say desperately. âTell daddy whatâs been eating you. I canât help if I donât know what it is.â
âItâs nothing, Iâm fine,â she says absently.
âDo you want to go and get some ice cream with me tomorrow?â That was our thing at least once every two weeks and she loved it.
âNo, thank you.â
âIce skating?â
âNo, thank you.â
âOh I know,â I say excitedly. âIâve got a show in London in a couple of weeks, Jingle Ball. Do you want to come with me?â
Minnie has always been my biggest fan, clapping the hardest and yelling the loudest for her daddy. So it really takes me by surprise when she mutters, âshows, shows, shows⊠thatâs all you care about, dad.â
I twist to peer out my window so she doesnât see the wince that comes unbidden to my face if she looks through the mirror. That was a direct slam against me.Â
That really does hurt, and I rub at the throb of pain behind my breastbone.
âThatâs not true,â I reply faintly.Â
âDid you care about my last ballet recital?â
Early this year, Minnie had a ballet recital. She was so excited about it because I had just finished my tour in December last year, and Iâd already told my management that I would like a couple of months off. There was no reason for me not to attend, so I promised her Iâd be there.
Except at the last moment, I realised I had forgot to switch an important meeting I had with the team from the new Manchester Arena. Since I invested in it, we had a meeting every few months because I said right from the beginning that I would take more than just a capital interest. I wanted to be involved in the development, because that was a huge project and I was really proud of it.Â
YN was in charge of our schedule and when she reminded me about the recital, which conflicted directly with my meeting, we ended up getting in the worst row weâve ever had throughout our marriage.
âYouâre going to let our daughter down in a way she wonât forgive,â she stated.
I refused to believe that, brushing off her comment with âIâll take her out for something special later.â But my wife turned and stalked away from me.Â
That day, the meeting went great and the construction was almost done a few weeks earlier than intended, so there was an option if we wanted to open sooner. YN sent me a text with a video of Minnieâs performance, and it was beautiful. I was such a proud dad that I showed the video to everyone in that room.Â
When I got home, my wife and children cuddled on the sofa, watching a film. George was snoozing with his head on his mumâs lap on the far end, so I plopped myself down beside Minnie. I tugged on her hair playfully, and asked if she wanted to go out to a special daddy-daughter dinner to celebrate her recital.
âNo, thank you,â she replied quietly, not taking her eyes off the telly.Â
âCome on, poppet,â I coaxed, trying to tickle her in the ribs a little. She only squirmed closer to her mum, not laughing from the tickle but grimacing like she didnât want to be touched.
YN stared over Minnie with sorrow in her eyes. She gave a tiny shake of her head, but I wasnât ready to give up.Â
âThe Ivy?â I tried to tempt her because my kid loves chips, and sheâs obsessed with their truffle and parmesan chips.
âNo, thank you,â she muttered again, her head resting on her mumâs shoulder and her arm crossed over her middle. YN cuddled her with an arm around her shoulder. It had been clear that they were a unit, and I hadnât been included.
âMinnie decided she wants to stop ballet lessons, so that was her last recital.â
âOh,â Iâd replied dumbly.
I couldnât think of another damn thing to say because to do so would be disingenuous. Thereâs no doubt I killed my daughterâs potential love of ballet by not coming to her recital. I knew that because of YNâs expression of disappointment and Minnieâs dull dismissal.Â
Later that night, I walked by Minnieâs room and glanced in as the door was slightly open. I had bought her a bouquet of flowers that I gave her before I left for my meeting, and I saw that theyâd been stuffed into the bin beside her desk.
I blink out of that memory, feeling the heavy weight of guilt. âOf course I did, my love. If I knew-â
âBut not enough to come,â she replies dully. âAnd what about my debate competition? Georgeâs piano recital? You showed up to none of them.â
I sigh heavily. âMinnie, a lot of parents have demanding jobs where theyâre required to work or travel more than others. Sometimes A&E doctors have to work on Christmas and cannot see their children open the presents. Sometimes, a firefighter has to leave their house at night and canât tuck their kids in bed.â
âI understand that,â she whirls and looks at me through the rear-view mirror. âExcept youâre not saving lives or fighting fires, are you? You just get up on a stage and sing.â
âIâm a terrible dad, arenât I?â I concede. âI know Iâve done things wrong in the past, but Iâm trying to make it up to you, poppet. But I canât do it if you wonât let me.â
She doesnât say anything and itâs killing me. âYou know I love you, right?â
âI know,â she rushes to assure me and I feel a little lighter. My daughter may act like a tween and have some bitter feelings towards me, but she loves me.Â
âI donât like seeing you like this,â I continue. âTell me how to make it up to you and Iâll do it. I want things to be good between us again.â
Her eyes flare with shock, and then they dart away as if sheâs considering something. I wait expectantly. Maybe sheâs going to finally open up and pour out her feelings for me. Iâm ready for it.
Iâm ready to listen, and validate, and reassure her that she, along with her mum and brother, are the loves of my life.Â
Her gaze comes back to me, her expression serious, and I brace.
âCan we get a puppy?â
What?Â
Thereâs no stopping the unlocking of my jaw and the dropping of my mouth because this was the last thing I expected her to say.Â
Iâm so caught off guard that I canât even think to immediately tell her ânoâ, which gives her time to launch into all the reasons why we should have a dog.
âMinnie, puppies are a lot of work. Youâve got to potty train them, teach them manners, and they get up for hours at night.âÂ
âI promise Iâll do all that,â she exclaims.
âLike how you were supposed to take care of Fishy?â I canât help but remind her. Fishy was her goldfish that we had to throw a funeral for a few years ago because she forgot to feed him. That poor sod died of hunger.
Minnie rolls her eyes. âI was six.â
Sheâs got a point.
Still, itâs obvious part of her request is manipulation because she threw it at me when I opened myself up to vulnerability. She knows Iïżœïżœm trying, and sheâs throwing me a clear bone.
Get her a puppy, and all will be forgiven.
âTell you what,â I look over my shoulder after I parked the car since weâve reached home. âI promise to think about it, and Iâll talk to mummy.âÂ
âReally?â She bounces in her seat in excitement.
âWeâll talk about it,â I reiterate in a calm, even voice. But thereâs no stopping her excitement. The fact that Iâm willing to consider is a huge victory for her because she knows that when I make my mind up about something, I never change it.Â
I open the door for her, and she is quick to unbuckle herself and throws herself at me.Â
Iâm so surprised at the spontaneous act of affection that I almost donât hug her back. Itâs been so long since sheâs shown this to me, and itâs the best feeling in the world.
I squeeze her tight, and I can only hope that my darling girl will always love her daddy the way she does right now.Â
George doesnât even stir as I pick him up, and I tuck him in his bed straight away since I donât want to wake him up. He must be tired, and good thing Iâve fed them both dinner.
Minnie even gives me another hug before she gets ready for bed, and that results in me having a permanent smile on my face even as I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen to see my wife.Â
âSheâs chirpy,â YN comments when she sees me walking into the kitchen. âWhat did you do?â
âGot her to talk to me,â I smirk.Â
She looks surprised, and well, I canât blame her. âDid she?â
âShe did,â I nod. âPointed out all my flaws, and when I asked her how I could make it up to her, she asked for a puppy.â
âWhat?â
âExactly my reaction,â I chuckle.Â
âBoy, if sheâs this good at emotional blackmailing at nine, weâd probably be in deep shit in a couple of years,â she jokes and I canât help but laugh.Â
Iâve missed this.
âWill you go out to dinner with me tomorrow night?â I blurt out before I can stop myself.Â
âI canât.â
âWhat? Got a hot date already?â I ask teasingly, but her silence tells me what I donât want to know. âOh, youâre going out with him.â
âMr Wife- I mean Luke asked me out first and I already said yes.â
I shouldnât be laughing because the fact that my wife going on a date with another man is not funny at all, but itâs hard to hide my smirk when she almost calls him by the nickname Iâve given him, Mr Wife-stealer.Â
âWell, fair enough. He asked you first,â I say nonchalantly. âWhat does he do?â
âHeâs an A&E doctor at the Northern General,â she says, her tone lightens a little.
âSmart then isnât he,â I mutter.Â
âYes. Heâs smart, attentive, caring and generous with his time.âÂ
I keep my expression and tone bland, but she landed a direct blow there and it fucking hurts. âAll the things Iâm not,â I state, voicing the conclusion she was aiming at.
âWell,â she drawls with a tiny bit of sympathy. âI do think youâre smart.â
I give her a side eye-roll before I decide to be downright nosy and ask, âyou canât have been on many dates then?â
âTrue,â she chirps, a gleam in her eye as she sticks the knife in. âHe is busy and his schedules are unpredictable. But when heâs gone, he makes sure I know Iâm always on his mind. He sends me flowers for absolutely no reason other than because he wants to, calls me every day and we text all the time.â
Well, sodding fucking bollocking shit wank. I didnât think YN would fall for that crap. And I realise⊠I never thought to do that stuff for her. I was the self-absorbed type of person who figured that my wife knew I thought about her all the time when I was away. I mean we were married, so I just assumed she knew.
Iâm a shit head.Â
âWhat else does he do for you?â I ask and she blinks in surprise.
âWhy?â She asks suspiciously.
âI told you I want our marriage to work.â
Her eyes narrow slightly, trying to read my tone and see whether Iâm being genuine or itâs just bollocks. Finally, she replies primly, âIâm not giving away his secrets.â
What the fuck does that mean? Have they shagged? I would bet a million pounds they had not though, because I know YN and she wouldnât enter into that deep of a relationship lightly.
Without even thinking twice, I make a sudden step into her. My arm goes around her waist and I pull her body into me. Not a single inch of space between us. Her mouth opens in a gasp of surprise, and I use the opportunity to kiss her.
I kiss the fuck out of my wife.
Her hands slap against my upper arms, and her fingers dig into my sleeves. Even as sheâs pushing me away, her mouth opens, and her tongue touches mine briefly.Â
When I pull back, I ask, âdid he kiss you like this?â
She shakes her head, breathlessly admitting, âwe havenât-â
My jaw drops. âAre you joking?â
âIâm not,â she murmurs.
âHow long exactly have you been seeing him?âÂ
âAbout four weeks.â
âHoney, heâs rooting for the other team,â I tell her and she slaps my arm.Â
âSod off, heâs not,â she counters.
âFour weeks with the hottest, most gorgeous, shaggable woman and he hasnât tried to kiss you? I mean not that Iâm not grateful because, fuck, I am. But wow.â
âOf course he did try,â she rolls her eyes. âBut Iâm not ready for that, and heâs okay with us taking it slow.âÂ
For a second I donât say anything in response. Instead, I loosen my hold, bringing my hand to her lower back, and cupping her intimately from behind. Moaning, she leans into me. âIâm guessing he hasnât touched you like this then.â
She doesnât answer. Instead, she lets her eyelids flutter closed as her teeth bite into her lower lip.
Fuck. I could drag her to the floor right now, and we could go at it.
But then she comes to her senses, blinking rapidly, and I release her immediately when she gives me a tiny shove backwards.Â
âYouâre not playing fair,â she accuses.Â
Damn right Iâm not. I grab her upper arms, pull her back into me for one last kiss before I let her go just as quickly. âIâm playing to win.â
She takes a step back, brushes a wisp of hair from her temple, and puts on a cool expression. âThatâs not going to make me take you back.â
I smirk.
She waves a dismissive hand. âDonât get me wrong. Youâre great with your hands and your mouth, but a lot of men know how to please a woman.â
Sheâs got a bonus point for trying to make me jealous, but Iâm not falling for it. Instead, I give her a devilish smile and dip my head towards her.Â
âThatâs true, but no one will ever please you the way I can.â
Iâm enjoying our banter, and I expect her to come up with a snappy retort that might make me kiss her again.
Instead, her expression is sad when she says, âI wish I could be happy with that.â
My heart squeezes, and I lift a hand to palm the side of her neck. I wait until she meets my gaze. âWeâre more than just sex, darling. I know you need and deserve more. Iâm ready to prove that to you.â
I lean in, pressing my lips to her forehead.Â
She doesnât respond as I pivot and head through the living room, letting myself out the door.Â
All in all, I think that went very well.
***
Iâm back at my wifeâs cottage, waiting for my kids as they get ready upstairs. Minnie has finally agreed to go on a daddy-daughter date and George is going to an overnight sleepover birthday party, and Iâll drop him off at his classmateâs house before I take his sister out to dinner. Iâll make sure to make it up to him by taking him on a special one on one date too next week.Â
Thereâs a light rap on the door, and my head swings that way. I have no doubt that itâs Mr Wife-stealer whoâs going to take my wife out on a date.
I glance towards the master suite, but the door is closed. YN is probably putting on the finishing touches of her makeup. And the kids are still upstairs.
Nothing left to do but let him in.
Forcing a smile, I open the front door. He blinks in surprise to see me standing there, and I know Iâve got two options here; I could either easily dispel the awkwardness by being cool, welcoming and explaining our schedules happened to overlap.
Or⊠I could use whatever amount of alone time I have with him to instill some doubt inside his head.
That would be a dirty play, but as I have told my wife, I play to win.
Broadening my smile, I stick my hand out. âYou must be Luke. Iâve heard a lot about you. Iâm Harry.â
He seems momentarily frozen, but then basic manners take over. When he shakes my hand, itâs a bit limp, perhaps denoting a lack of confidence. After I release him, I bid him entrance with a sweep of my hand. âYN is in the bedroom. Sheâs still getting ready.â
Luke frowns over the fact that I know YN is in the bedroom. Probably over me even being here to talk to him. But I donât dispel any innuendo he might glean from that.
I loop an arm around his shoulders, clamp down, and start guiding him to the kitchen. âCome on in and sit for a bit while sheâs finishing up. Want a beer?â
Luke moves to one of the island stools, looking completely frazzled. âUh⊠no, thank you.â
I shrug, moving to the fridge and opening it. Grabbing a bottle, I say with a sly grin as I close it. âSo glad YN still stocks my favourite beer.â
I am so going to hell.
But thatâs the truth. Itâs my wifeâs favourite beer, too, but I don't tell him that. Instead, I let the implication that I come over and have beers often. Lukeâs frown deepens.
âYN tells me you work at the Northern General?â I take a sip of my beer, then lean my forearms on the island directly across from him so weâre eye level.
âYeah⊠uh, thatâs right.â Poor Luke. He seems incapable of carrying on a polite conversation with the husband of the woman heâs dating.Â
But Iâm going to give him a pass. Setting my beer down, I straighten. âLet me go tell YN youâre here.â
âUm⊠you donât have-â he starts to say, but I move past him without a backward glance. Through the living room, down the small hall, and a hard left takes me to the master suite. The doorâs closed. I donât bother knocking because I know YN is dressed.
I find her in the ensuite, her makeup drawer open and sheâs huddled over it, touching something inside.Â
âYour dateâs here,â I announce.
She lets out a yip of fright, shoving whatever it was in her hand to the back and slamming the drawer closed.Â
âDamn it, Harry,â she snaps, her palm pressed against her heart. âYou scared the hell out of me. And what are you doing in my room?â
âJust running an errand for you. Wanted to let you know your date is here,â I say casually and I give her a mischievous grin. âDonât worry, I welcomed him in, offered him a drink, and made small talk.â
She rolls her eyes, rising from her vanity chair and moves past me without another word. I start to follow, but then I hesitate and turn back to the drawer of her vanity. Quietly, I pull it open as far as it will go, spotting a picture of YN and me stuffed in the back.
I recognise it. Itâs from a trip we took to Anguilla a few years back, just the two of us, and fuck if we didnât look happy and deeply in love.
Was that what she was looking at when I walked in?
That could be good or bad, but either way, no way to know the answer. I shut the drawer, then catch up to her as sheâs moving through the living room. Luke sees her, sliding off the stool. When she holds out her hands, he takes them and leans in to kiss her on the cheek.
Lame.
I sit on the armrest of the sofa, watching. Luke glances over YNâs shoulder at me as he pulls back, smiling victoriously.Â
I just smirk back. Because heâd probably lose it if he knew the type of kiss I gave my wife just last night. But Iâll keep that information to myself, though.
YN grabs her handbag off the accent table near the staircase before addressing me. âMake sure Minnie locks up when you leave, and remind George Iâll pick him up at ten tomorrow morning.âÂ
I give her a jaunty salute. âAye-aye, Captain.â
In return, I get another eye roll.Â
Luke puts his hand on my wifeâs back, shooting me a look that says, âsheâs mine tonightâ, and I want to punch his teeth down the back of his throat. I just smile blandly, because, in just a few minutes of talking to him and watching how they interact, I can tell heâs getting nothing more than a friendly kiss when he brings her home.
YN might want to keep pushing at that relationship, but I am willing to bet that itâs not going to go anywhere. I know this, because Iâm sure that my wife is still in love with me.Â

Prompts are open! Professors!Drarry, husbands, one tells students all about his husband. No one knows who that is. Until one day sth clues them in. And everyone's like - WHAAAA?! Bets are lost. McG is amused.
Hello there! This is the oldest prompt in my ask box, haha! So sorry it took like two years to get around to this.... *blushes*
Anyways, I hope you like!
-
âThat will be all for today,â Harry says. âYou can have the rest of the period to work.â
He leans back against his desk and watches the scramble of students trying to pair off with their friends. He smiles and shakes his head. Every day is the same. Gloriously, marvelously, wonderfully the same.
âProfessor Potter?â
Harry looks over to one of his students, a slight teenage girl with her hair tied up into three ponytails. âYes, Miss Wimblefon?â
She twirls a curl of hair around her finger and smiles up at him. âI had a question for you. About the assignment.â
Harry sighs and waves his hand. âAsk away.â
âYou said that the enchantment only works if the user is truly in love,â she begins.
Harry nods and folds his arms. âPrecisely. Which is why you are only working on the theoretical application of this spell, and not trying to use it on your classmates.â
Jane giggles. âIâm in love. Can I give it a try?â
Harry stands up and brushes off the front of his robes. âYou most certainly may not, Miss Wimblefon. As much as I am pleased by your interest in the subject, itâs not appropriate nor safe to produce the enchantment even when one is truly in love, and I have the strong suspicion that you are not.â
Janeâs cheeks go red. âWell, what does the spell do anyways?â she says, crossing her arms and huffing.
âAn excellent question,â Harry says. âAn easily answered one if you do your reading.â He holds his hand out to the classroom, and she gives him one last glare before turning on her heel and taking a seat with Mildred Daney.
*
âMerlin,â Harry says, dropping down onto the bed and spreading his arms out wide.
âWhat is it?â Draco asks, emerging from the bathroom and leaning against the door frame with his toothbrush stuck out of his mouth. âJane flirting with you again?â
Harry groans and rolls over on the bed. âHow did you know?â
Draco disappears to spit out his toothpaste, and then returns, smelling of mint and citrus shampoo. He climbs up the bed and drops down beside Harry, curling an arm around his waist and pressing his nose in the back of his neck.
âBecause sheâs the exact same with me,â Draco sighs. âAlways playing with that bloody hair of hers.â
âSheâs a sixth year already,â Harry says to the wall. âIsnât this a bit odd?â
Draco nuzzles in closer behind Harry. âSomeone should tell her that if she keeps tugging at that hair, it will all fall out by the time sheâs twenty.â
Harry laughs. âDonât you dare, Draco. Her mother will tear down the school.â
Draco bumps his head between Harryâs shoulder blades. âWell, then it will be McGonagallâs problem.â
Harry twists and rolls over to face Draco, his face smiling and bright. âYou know,â Harry says, touching their noses together. âI think you may be right.â
âOh, yes?â
âYes,â Harry says and pushes himself on top of Draco, knees on either sides of his hips and arms around his shoulders. âGet Jane out of our hair.â He sets his head down on Dracoâs chest. âAnd while weâre waiting for her mother to Floo in, we can plan our joint funeral, hm?â
âBit early, isnât it?â Draco says. He lifts his hands and rubs them up and down Harryâs back.
âOh, no. Not at all,â Harry says. He lifts his head up and grins at Draco. âIn fact, it may be a bit late if McGonagall has anything to do with it.â
Draco rolls his eyes. âForget I said anything.â
âThatâs what I thought,â Harry says, and drops his head back down on Dracoâs chest.
Draco is so warm, so soft. Nice. A weight tethering him to the ground, to sanity.
âGood night,â Harry sighs.
Draco smacks his bum. âGet up and brush your teeth, you buffoon.â
Harry groans as Draco pushes him away, all the way off of the bed.
âWhy?â Harry wails as he hits the ground with a great oof.
âBecause I love you,â Draco says happily before sending a stinging jinx in the direction of Harryâs backside. âVery, very much.â
*
âHello, Professor Potter,â Jane says. Sheâs twirling her hair again.
âHello, Miss Wimblefon,â Harry says over his breakfast potatoes. âMay I help you with something?â
âYes,â she says, looking rather pleased with herself with her chin all drawn up. âThe book says that the enchantment provides a binding connection to the userâs true love. One that doesnât break until death.â
Harry squirts some ketchup onto his plate. âAlmost correct.â
âWhat?â
Harry picks up a piece of bacon. âAlmost correct. The enchantment doesnât die after death. Thatâs why itâs so complicated. It must be a mutual bonding, and both parties must be truly in love with the other. And the bond doesnât break after death, which opens up a certain realm of questioning about putting intention behind spells.â
Jane shakes her head hard. âWhat does it benefit though? Why engage in such complicated and dangerous magic? What does it do?â
Harry smiles and sets his bacon down. âMiss Wimblefon, would you mind continuing this conversation during our class time? Iâm trying to enjoy my breakfast.â
Draco snorts beside him.
Jane glances over at Draco briefly and narrows her eyes. She opens her mouth to speak again, but Draco looks up from his hash and stares at her with wide grey eyes. Too wide to really be attractive, people have said before. Harry likes them.
âRight then,â she says, and runs off.
âBless you,â Harry says, linking his pinkie into Dracoâs.
Draco raises his eyebrows. âHarry.â
âYes, my love?â Harry smiles at him. Innocently, very innocently.
âWhy are you teaching verus amor est alliges duplicia?â Draco glares at him, and squeezes hard with his pinkie finger. âThatâs extremely complicated magic.â
Harry shrugs. âNo reason at all.â
Draco sighs and winds the rest of his fingers through Harryâs. âOh, Harry.â
Harry grins. âOh, Draco.â
*
âItâs class time now,â Jane says.
Harry glances up at his charmed clock over the archway in his office. âNot quite, Miss Wimblefon.â
âWell,â she says, already sitting down in the chair opposite him. âI didnât want to interrupt your lecture, so I thought Iâd pop in early.â
âRight,â Harry says. Itâs probably best to get this over with. Maybe if Harry answers all her questions, sheâll leave him alone. âGo on then.â
âIâm curious to know what is the purpose of the spell.â She folds her hands on Harryâs desk and leans forward.
Harry pushes his chair back slightly. âItâs an irreversible connection with the person who loves you most in the world. It links you together. So, theoretically, if one half of the pairing was hurt, the other would know it. If something good has happened to one, the other feels their happiness.â
âSo they share feelings?â Jane asks.
âNo,â Harry says. âItâs not sharing. Itâs just a sense. An added knowledge.â
âAnd what else?â she demands.
âIt can act as a protective charm, if in dire circumstances,â Harry says. âA bubble of defense, if the two are physically close.â
Jane sighs and kicks her loafers on the floor. âIt sounds fine, but not worth the magic.â
Harry smiles. Heâd felt the same way when heâd first learned of it. âWell itâs more than that. The best part about it is the connection. It is difficult to explain, even for those who have experienced it. It is a joining of skin, two souls being one, a linking of magic. It is being melded with another person, body, soul, and mind. It is having them with you, always.â
Janeâs mouth opens a bit. âEr. Professor Potter?â
âYes?â Harry asks pleasantly.
âAre you bonded to someone?â Jane asks, looking scared and excited all at once.
âTo my husband, yes,â Harry says, and smiles at her.
Jane falls out of her chair.
*
It takes another four days after Jane faints in Harryâs office before she comes to confront him again.
âYouâre completely oblivious to it,â Draco is saying to Harry. âHe has an excellent aptitude for Potions. Heâs very talented, really.â
Theyâre in greenhouse four, so Draco can collect clippings for a potion in his classes the next day. Harry hovers by Dracoâs side, not doing anything particularly useful.
Harry rolls his eyes. âPlease, you should see him in Defense. I might as well transfigure him into a hippo, and see if it changes the results.â
Draco touches a hand to his chest. âMy, my, Harry. I think youâre spending too much time with me.â
Harry pushes at him. âI know I am. Thank Merlin for it.â
âProfessor Potter?â
Harry trips and nearly stumbles over into a collection of finger eating bushes before Draco grabs his sleeve and hauls him up.
âHello, Miss Wimblefon,â Draco says coolly. âMay I ask you what youâre doing out of bed at this hour?â
Her eyes pass over Draco. âProfessor Potter, I have more questions for you.â
Harry is still choking on his breath. âEr. Yes. Miss Wimblefon, can we resume this conversation at a later time?â
âNo,â she says, and comes to stand next to him. âCarry on with your walk. Iâll simply join in.â
They have no choice but to walk.
âI didnât know you were married,â Jane begins immediately as theyâre leaving the greenhouse. âEspecially not to a man.â
Draco throws an elbow in Harryâs direction and raises both his eyebrows in question. What is she talking about? he mouths. Harry shakes his head. He has no idea.
âSo youâve performed verus amor est alliges duplicia.â
Draco straightens up beside Harry. He chooses not to look over at him for fear of being burned to the ground with the look on Dracoâs face.
âQuite,â Harry says.
âWith whom?â
Harry stops. âWhat do you mean with whom?â
He looks over at Draco, who looks just as bewildered as Harry does, his irritation at Harryâs curriculum forgotten.
Jane stops too and looks back at them. âWho are you married to?â
Harry could fall over laughing.
Draco speaks before he can. âMiss Wimblefon. What is my name?â
Jane finally looks at him. âProfessor Potter?â
âYes.â Draco says very slowly. âMy name is Draco Potter.â
Jane shakes her head, still looking confused. âSo?â
Draco huffs and flicks his hair off his cheekbones. âSo I share a last name with Harry Potter. Who do you think I am?â
âPotter is a common name, itâs not weird that you both have....â Her eyes go wide. âOh.â
âYes, oh,â Draco snaps. âMerlin and Arthur, these children get dimmer every year. Potterâs a common name. Honestly!â
Jane turns and takes off running up to the castle.
Harry lets out a breath and holds out his hand for Draco to take. âI think youâre right, love. They really are getting dimmer.â
Draco takes his hand, gentle. âWhy did we choose this career path anyways?â
Harry shrugs and they begin the walk up to the castle together. âGood pay?â
Draco blows out a hard laugh. âGood pay, indeed.â
*
Jane Wimblefon tells the entire school that Professor Harry Potter and Professor Draco Potter are married at breakfast the next day.
Harry drops his head into his hands and Draco rolls his eyes. Headmistress McGonagall stands up briskly and walks right out of the Great Hall. Hagrid bursts out laughing before knocking over the entire front table, and Professor Flitwick along with it.
The students go into a frenzy, jumping up and running from table to table, expressions of shock painted over their faces.
âForget dim,â Draco says, looking out over the chaos. âThis generation is entirely brain dead.â
Harry laughs so hard he gets marmalade in his hair.

Day 81: I Missed You
Draco slipped back into bed as quietly and as stealthily as he could manage but Harry had always been a light sleeper and heâd felt it when Draco had gotten out of bed and he awoke once more now that the other man was joining him once more.
He rolled over as Draco settled in next to him, curling protectively around Draco and pressing a soft, sleepy kiss to the back of his neck, âWhereâd you go?â Harry mumbled sleepily, nuzzling against the downy soft hair at the base of Dracoâs neck.
âJust to the loo, love,â he whispered back, rubbing his fingers soothingly over Harryâs forearm that was wrapped around his waist.
It was a long time for the loo, Harry thought to himself, holding Draco a little tighter and wondering if heâd had a nightmare. He debated trying to talk to Draco about it, then decided to tackle that in the morning when they werenât so sleepy. âMissed you,â Harry murmured.
And the last thing he noticed before he drifted off was something that felt and sounded suspiciously like a sigh of relief from the other man.
-------
A few days later, Harry was at a Ministry function and Draco was late.
Harry cast a tempus for what had to be the dozenth time when the other man appeared at his side, looking frazzled and harried.
"Hey," Harry said, leaning in to kiss him as Draco turned his head. He missed and his lips landed on Draco's cheekbone.
"Sorry," Draco said, catching Harry's cheek in his hand and correcting their trajectories to press a quick, chaste kiss to Harry's lips.
"I've missed you," Harry told him with a smile.
Draco grimaced at him. "Sorry I'm late. There was a whole mess with at the office, bad batch of wolfsbane," he continued.
Harry frowned, he'd firecalled Draco's work to check on him and he'd been told that Draco left early that day. He was about to ask when the Commissioner found them and Harry had to be polite again but he told himself that he'd need to bring it up again later.
-------
He'd forgotten about it until that weekend when Draco said, "Babe, I can't come to dinner at Ron and Hermione's tonight."
(Read more below the cut)
Harry frowned, "What? Why?"
"Work," Draco murmured, pressing a kiss to Harry's forehead.
"But-"
"I know," Draco interrupted. "We're just in the middle of a couple of very delicate projects. We'll be done soon. I'm sorry."
Harry sighed and tipped his head back so that Draco would press a kiss to his lips. "We'll miss you."
"I'll see you tonight," Draco promised.
"Kay," he replied. "See you later. If you get done early," he started as Draco stepped toward the fireplace, "you can always join us."
"Alright," he called over his shoulder as he put his cloak on. "Love you."
"Love you, too," he called back and he went back to reading his book until he needed to get ready to leave.
As he was getting ready to go he caught sight of Draco's gloves that he used while brewing, he decided to make a quick stop off to Draco's work before going to his best friends' house.
But when he arrived at the apothecary, the lights were out and the shop and workroom appeared to be empty. He left Draco's gloves on his work station by his cauldron and headed to Ron and Hermione's.
He walked for a few minutes, trying to come up with any reasoning that didn't involve something horrible as to why Draco wouldn't be at the shop. When he came up with nothing he apparated to dinner.
"What's wrong?" Hermione asked the moment he entered.
"Where's Draco?" Ron added.
Harry sighed, "Let's have dinner, Draco's not coming and maybe I'll feel less paranoid once I have something to eat."
They ate dinner and Ron and Hermione did an admirable job trying to distract him but while Ron was serving ice cream he couldn't help but blurt, "I think Draco's cheating on me."
"What?" Ron and Hermione asked at the same time, both seeming equally incredulous.
Harry told them about the time he'd woken up alone at the beginning of the week, about Draco showing up late for the fundraiser, and about how he'd gone to his shop this afternoon and found it empty.
"Right, but this is Draco we're talking about," Ron said. "I mean, I know that I took awhile to come around on him but he loves you, mate."
"Ron's right," Hermione agreed. "I'm sure there's a logical explanation."
But try as they might, they couldn't seem to come up with any good explanations and Harry's stomach was in knots by the time he made it home.
Draco didn't return home until another hour had passed but Harry was still waiting up for him. "Hi," Draco sighed as he collapsed onto the couch next to him and leaned against him.
"Hey," Harry said, voice tense even to his own ears.
The other man turned his head slightly, "What's wrong?" he asked. "Are Hermione and Ron alright?"
"Where were you?" Harry blurted.
Draco sat up and looked at him, "At work, I told y-"
"But you weren't!" Harry protested.
"Yes, I-"
Harry shook his head, "You left your gloves so I came to bring them to you," he said, words spilling out, "But you weren't there, and you've been distant all week. And if you're cheating on me or if you're not happy with me anymore, please just say so. Or tell me what I can do differently because I love-"
"Harry," Draco said, stopping the words flowing from his mouth, "Harry," he breathed, shaking his head, "Circe, I'm sorry."
Harry blinked, fearing that his worst suspicions had come to be.
"No," Draco said, obviously reading Harry's broken heart on his face. "Salazar, Harry I would never cheat on you."
Harry exhaled a shaky sigh, "Then why-"
"Let me show you," Draco said, taking Harry's hand.
He nodded, "Okay."
Draco brought Harry's knuckles to his lips before pulling him up off the sofa and apparating them. When they landed it was on a rocky shoreline and Harry let the sound of waves lapping at the shore calm his frayed nerves.
The other man tugged on his hand and Harry turned to see a small cottage just where the beach ended. "Come on," Draco murmured.
So Harry followed him up the beach to the cabin; Draco swung the door open and cast a spell to light all of the candles around the cabin, revealing a cozy living space full of warm beiges and cool blues, soft chairs and a sofa, full bookshelves, and a small fireplace. Harry felt peace settle in his soul as he looked around.
"It was supposed to be a surprise," Draco murmured, "For our anniversary next week."
"What?" Harry asked, feeling breathless.
Draco nudged him inside, "I bought it for us. I thought it would be a nice little vacation getaway."
"You did all this for me?"
He wrapped his arms around Harry's waist and hooked his chin over his shoulder, "It's five years next week, you know."
"I know," Harry said leaning back against him.
Draco pressed a quick kiss to his neck, "I didn't think that I'd make you so worried."
He huffed a laugh, "Some beliefs are hard to shake."
"Beliefs?" Draco asked.
"You're going to make me say it?" Harry murmured.
Draco kissed his neck before he slipped around so he could face him, "Say what?"
"Just," he huffed and then he shrugged, "I've never felt entirely worthy, you know?"
The other man shook his head, "You are more worthy than anyone I know," he whispered. "And even if you weren't you are the love of my life." He pressed his lips to Harry's forehead and Harry's throat closed up, tears stinging the back of his eyes. "I'll spend the rest of my life proving it to you if you'll let me."

Distraction
A little belated birthday gift for the one and only @velvethopewrites! I hope you like this little flirty hinny ;)
Read on: FF.net or AO3
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Harry hadnât been expecting it. He had just staring off into space, his mind not at all focused on the open herbology book propped in front of him. Instead, his mind had focused on creating a lovely scenario where he and his girlfriend were flying together. His hands tightly holding her hips as his mouth warmed her neck...
So when the smooth cloth landed on his head and his vision became distorted by nearly clear fabric, he wasnât able to contain his surprise. A hand came over his mouth, stifling his cry as warm lips pressed near his right ear.Â
âSo much for constant vigilance, huh, Potter?âÂ
He twisted in his chair to see a smirking Ginny. She was pressed right against his back, her head bowed as she moved in for another kiss, this time to his lips.
âWhat are you doing here?â Harry asked. She was supposed to be in the library until dinner, or at least according to Hermioneâs strict OWLâs schedule. Â
âWell now, is that any way to speak to your girlfriend?â Ginny shook her head in disappointment though the glint in her eyes took away any bite from her words. âTogether only a few weeks and the romance has already died, huh? I mean, if you donât want me here I can just ââ
Harry cut her off with a quick and hard kiss. He rose from his chair, not allowing his lips to leave her skin as he moved to embrace her. In complete honesty, Harry was shocked by his own prowess. Normally when he tried to make any sort of smooth move it blew up in his face, but not this time, if Ginnyâs elated sigh was anything to go on.Â
He trailed his lips along her jaw as he made his way to that spot on her neck that always made her gasp in the best way. His hands moved down her sides to rest on her hips, thumbs caressing a small spot where her shirt rode up to expose bare skin. When her hands threaded through his hair, tugging him closer, Harry lost any ability to think of anything past her.Â
The fact that they were in the middle of the common room, that if anyone walked too close to the table theyâd bump into two invisible people, was lost to Harry. All that mattered was the way Ginnyâs petite form pressed into his. Before he knew what was happening, Harryâs back was against the nearby wall and Ginnyâs lips were at his neck. Harry couldnât contain a groan as she nipped at a vein throbbing in his neck.Â
âShhh,â Ginny murmured into his skin, as she soothed the mark she no doubt left. âQuiet, dear.âÂ
Easy for her to say as she drove him completely mad. He bit his tongue to hold back another groan as her lips trailed a hot line of kisses back up towards his jaw. His head fell back against the wall in pleasure as she teased a spot just under his chin.
âHey, Demelza.â Harry heard Ronâs voice as if he spoke from the opposite end of a long tunnel. âYou seen Harry?â
Both Ginny and Harry froze; any movement would alert Ron of their location. Ginnyâs mouth was still pressed against his skin as they stood motionless, both breathing heavily as they heard Demelza direct Ron in the direction of their apparently deserted table.Â
Harry looked down at Ginny, her annoyed expression becoming more like molton flame as they locked gazes. She rose to her toes, bringing her lips right next to his ear. âIf you keep quiet, we can slip out and Iâll find us a place where this cloak wonât be necessary to keep things private.âÂ
When she nipped at his earlobe, Harry nearly moaned loudly. How could she make him forget the rest of the world? Literally, her brother was mere meters from them, but when she was touching him like this... When he was with her all that seemed to matter was her⊠holding her hand, listening to her stories and desires, and of course the feeling of her lips on his⊠or like at that moment how they felt trailing down his jawline.Â
âGin.â Harryâs whisper was rough like sandpaper. âYou need to stop.â
Ginny paused her ministrations for just a moment, at least long enough to ask, âDo you really want me to stop?â Her smirk was all too knowing and if Harry was honest, way too hot.
âWant and need are very different,â Harry muttered, and Ginny stifled a giggle by pressing her face to his neck. Taking a momentary hiatus from her assault on his sense, Harry placed his arms around her waist and started guiding them across the common room.Â
It was dicey work, dodging their fellow Gryffindors who had taken refuge from the late afternoon rain in the common room. Harry and Ginny had to work in sync in order to keep their progress silent. If the situation werenât so tense, Harry might have focused more on how well Ginnyâs fit form pressed perfectly against him; it was probably better that he couldnât focus on that. They sidestepped multiple people, retreating backward once to avoid bumping into Dennis Creevey and maneuvering themselves against a back wall to bypass Ron. Harry didnât breathe until they reached the portrait hole (which luckily had just opened to let in a few first years).Â
Once out of the common room, they sped down the corridor, not taking the cloak off until they reached a short hall on the sixth floor. Harry ripped the invisibility cloak off, mussing both their heads.Â
âThat was close.â Harry ran a hand through his hair, hoping to make it a little better. âImagine if Ron had caught us.â
Ginny rolled her eyes as she tamed her own messy locks. âIt would do the prat some good to be dished some of his own medicine, after the way he thrashed around with Lav-Lav.â
Harry only just managed to contain a snort. âAnd you think the best revenge is watching his sister and best mate snog?â
She winked at him. âOnly one way to find out, yeah?â
This time there was no containing his amusement. His laughter rang out loud in the silent corridor. âMaybe next time weâll test your theory.â
Ginny smirked at him. âIâll hold you to that.âÂ
Harry shook his head, a wide smile spreading from ear to ear. Merlin, he couldnât get over how much he enjoyed being with her. The desire to touch her nearly became overwhelming. The only hold-up was the cloak bunched in his left hand. He started to fold it when a sudden thought occurred to him.  Â
âHey, how did you even get this?â He held up the now pocket-sized cloth before tucking it into his back pocket. âI keep it on me at all times.â
Ginny gave him a sly look, her fingers lacing with his as she started to pull him back down the corridor. âYeah and that wasnât the only thing on you earlier while we had lunch by the lake.âÂ
Harry felt his face heat as the memories of their lunch came to the forethought of his mind. Eating had been the last of their priority. He cleared his throat. âOh.â
Her cheeky grin widened. âOh yeah. Turns out youâre an easy target for pickpockets.âÂ
âOnly when distracted by a certain red-head,â Harry defended.Â
Ginny moved so she was in front of him, walking backward down the hall. Her teasing smirk made his heart pound rapidly against his ribs. âAre you saying Iâm a distraction, Potter?â
âOh for sure,â Harry admonished, his face pulled into a serious expression.Â
Ginnyâs jaw dropped in fake horror. âHow dare you. I think really youâre the distraction, because how am I supposed to focus on my OWL when youâre there looking oh so snoggable and ââ
Before Ginny could win, Harry took charge, pulling them to a stop in front of a small supply closet. He tugged open the door and dragged Ginny behind him into the tiny space. The moment the door shut behind them, Harry had her back against the wall and silenced her cheek with his lips.Â
âNo cloak necessary in here,â Harry murmured as his fingers moved up into her long hair, threading through it.Â
âAs promised.â Ginny nuzzled his jaw. Her fake irritation was completely gone as she smiled against his skin. âHow about I let you distract me for a while while we make the most of our spacious privacy, yeah?âÂ
Harry nipped at the pulse point in her neck. âIâll try to be the best distraction youâve ever had.âÂ

I donât know Iâd this is enough for a headcanon or blurb or anything but Iâve been trying to think of more NSFW stuff and my mind went back to the American!reader things youâve done with Fred so far and I can totally see Fred getting his American girlfriend a cowboy hat to wear while riding him because âcowgirls are an important part of your cultureâ and he just wants to âshow his support for your rootsâ
Save a Horse, Ride a GingerÂ
F.W. X FEM!AMERICAN!READER
17+ IF YOU ARE TAGGED AND DONâT WANT TO BE TAGGED IN SMUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW
Warnings: NSFW, vaginal sex, praise, teasing, language, slapping/spanking, finger sucking, unedited because its just on brand at this point
âLove, could you come here for a second?â
The sound of your boyfriend calling you stole your attention away from Molly and the scarf you were trying to knit. You stood up, apologizing to Molly for the interruption- though she didn't seem to mind much- and made your way to the living room.Â
The Weasley siblings, along with Harry and Hermione, were sitting around the tv (a muggle television set Hermione had gifted them two Christmases ago) with random DVDâs strewn across the floor. Picking one up, you turned it over as you moved to sit next to Fred on the floor.
âWhatâs with all the movies?â You asked, reading a few of the titles.Â
Fred turned to you holding up one of the plastic dvd cases, âWe wanted to learn about your roots, your history, so we asked Charlie send over some stuff from where he is in America.â
You glanced back at the movie in hand, âFred youâre holding up A Fistful of Dollars.â
He furrowed his eyebrows, âFistful of doll-what? No, Iâm holding a movie disc, love.â
âFreddie, thatâs the name of the movie and besides, even if this was a accurate historical movie, which itâs not, itâs not even about my history...Iâm from Seattle.â
He landed a flick to your forehead before pulling you into his lap, âJust be quiet while I learn about the Americans.â
The movie, one youâve seen a few times already, came to end as the credits rolled and the Man With No Name rode off on his horse into the sunset.Â
âAmazing...â Ron breathed out making you laugh.Â
You were still in Fredâs lap, his hands holding your hips as you shifted to get comfortable. The action made Fredâs breath hitch, he was already turned on as it was and you just happened to notice.Â
âReally? Clint Eastwood did it for you?âÂ
Your teasing tone made Fred pinch your butt in warning.
âNo, but the idea of you riding me with a cute little cowboy hat on definitely did it for me.â He whispered huskily into your ear, his warm breath hitting the shell of your ear making goosebumps erupt down your neck.Â
You turned to into his eyes, the lust swimming in his honey brown irises sent jolts of need to your core.Â
âToo bad we donât have one.â
Fred nodded, a glint of mischief burning bright in his eyes, âYeah, too bad.â
In hindsight, you shouldâve seen it coming. Whenever Fred wanted something he got, through whatever means necessary- this time it was a brother in America with a sense of humor just like his younger brotherâs.Â
Now here you were, straddling Fredâs bare hips as he placed a cow print cowgirl hat with a bedazzled brim on your head, the drawstring left to hang in the valley of your breasts.Â
âIs this really necessary?â You smirked, starting to slowly grind your wet cunt over his hard cock making him close his eyes and take in a breath.Â
âIs it necessary, she asks. It is absolutely necessary, this is an important part of your culture.â
You continued to drag your hips over his creating a delicious friction that had your head lolling back and lips parting to let a breathy moan slip by. His hands helped guid your hips, pushing and pulling you against himself. A response was lost on your tongue as you whined at the feeling of Fred lifting your hips off of him and ceasing the friction. He used one hand to position himself at your entrance, pulling you to sit down fully on his cock.
Fred moved his hands from your hips to your tits, massaging the flesh and rolling your nipples between his fingers before landing a slap on your right breast making you gasp.
âGo on then, want my little cowgirl to ride me.â
You didnât need to be told twice, rolling your hips against his a few times before lifting up and then dropping back down, coating his prick in your arousal.Â
Fred wrapped his right hand around your throat with little pressure while the other one trailed down to your clit, his thumb circling the aching nub roughly. You couldnât help but cry out as you picked up your pace, your hips moving in half circles and figure eights to rub you just right.
Needing to ground yourself you placed one hand on Fredâs chest and held onto his forearm with the other, making him apply more pressure around your throat. The drawstring of the cowgirl hat was hitting your skin with each lift and drop of your hips.Â
You were losing your power fast, becoming putty in Fredâs hands, and he could tell. As you let out another loud moan, he sat up making himself shift inside of you and hitting places that had you doubling of in pleasure and vision going fuzzy. His arm wrapped around your waist to hold you up and help you move on his cock.Â
âThatâs it, love, keep go- fuck- just like that.â He grunted, using his hold on your body to speed up your movements.Â
Your head dropped into the crook of his neck, the skin warm and balmy and inviting. Your lips danced across the expanse of his neck and travelled up under his ear kissing and sucking with a fervent passion. Fred was doing the same to the top of your breasts, your tits littered with red and purple bites and bruises.Â
An orgasm was fast approaching both you and Fred, his higher pitched whines and whimpers a clear sign to you and your clenching pussy a sign to him. He bit down on your earlobe as he moved you quicker, each time having the head of his swollen cock prodding at your g-spot relentlessly.Â
âWanna suck on your fingers when I cum.â You muttered into his neck before lifting your head up and opening your mouth for his fingers.Â
Fred placed his index and middle finger on your tongue and you were quick to wrap your lips around them suck. You held his wrist with one hand, the other going on his shoulder to brace yourself as you bounced on his dick faster and getting him deeper inside you.Â
Soon enough Fred could feel the unmistakable feeling of his balls drawing up, tensing as he neared spilling over the edge of his orgasm. He looked up to drink you in, your flushed face, eyes rolling back in pleasure, lips parted to let the sweetest sounds come from them, and lastly the cowgirl hat atop your head that pulled it all in together. The sight was positively pornographic, his American cowgirl riding him with a heaving chest and aching cunt.
âIâm- I wanna cum.â Your voice brought Fred back to reality.Â
His free hand went to grab a handful of your ass, groping the flesh roughly and using the leverage to pull you down onto himself harder.
âCum.â
It was all you needed to hear to let out a choked sob as your walls tightened around Fred, cumming on his cock. He wasnât far behind, pressing your hips down onto his roughly, bottoming out, and stilled as he came inside of you, your walls milking him completely. His hot seed coating your walls, filling you up. The feeling so good, making you thank your lucky stars that you were on birth control and dinât have to worry about the consequences.
Fred held you close as you came down from your highs, pressing loving kisses on your shoulder blade.Â
âYou look so sexy in that bloody hat.â Fred sighed with a chuckle.Â
The statement made you giggle into his neck, suddenly feeling bashful in your post orgasm bliss. At your response, Fred turned his head to place a kiss on your jaw then on your cheek before you made a move to pull yourself off of him.Â
Fred whined, âNo, stay...just a bit longer.â
You placed a kiss onto his forehead, lips smearing against his warm skin before moving to place a kiss on his nose, resting your forehead against his. Fred shifted so he was laying down on his side, as are you, with your leg hiked over his hip and face nuzzled into his bare chest while his cock- now flaccid- was still in you keeping you pleasantly stretched around him. The cowgirl hat had been removed and placed carefully on your nightstand, for later use. Fred bent awkwardly to grab the blanket and pull it over the two of you as he felt your breathing start to even. He tucked the edge of the blanket under your chin and watched as you drifted off into a peaceful slumber, face still in his chest and soft breaths hitting his skin.Â
Fred fell asleep moments later, cock still warm and tucked inside your cunt, and holding you to his chest.
His American cowgirl

Expecto Patronum (Hermione Granger x Reader)
After following a number of Gryffindor students sneaking out of the Common Room one night, you inevitably stumble upon the DA and are quick to join their cause.Â
However, you soon find a spell you canât quiet master, a spell that requires something that you donât have, something that, with the help of Hermione Granger, youâre able to acquire.Â
âBloody hell.â You mumble, sighing in exasperation as you flop to the Room of Requirementâs floor, your eyes narrowed. Â
You stumbled upon Dumbledoreâs Army by chance one night when you saw a number of Gryffindor's sneaking out one night and decided to follow.Â
Following them was the best decision youâd ever made, because it brought you purpose, something you felt you lacked in your daily life. Â
You were rather quiet, though youâd caught one member of the DAâs attention, and that member was Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived himself. Â
You hadnât had the best upbringing, something the two of you shared, and something that brought the two of you closer together. Â
Soon you and the boy were good friends, and being good friends with Harry meant you were friends with his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Â
Ron was goofy, a bit dense at time, but he was fun to be around, and that was enough for you. Â
Hermione Granger on the other hand, was one of the brightest women youâd ever met, she adept at magic, excelling well above you and the others in the DA.Â
She was all too happy to aid you in casting certain spells when she saw you were struggling. Â
The specific spell you were currently having trouble casting, was Expecto Patronum, your Patronus refusing to take form no matter how hard you tried.Â
You huff, dropping your wand to the stone floor. Â
âThis is hopeless.â Â
                             ***
The following morning youâre barely able to keep your eyes, rubbing the heels of your palms into your bloodshot Y/E/C eyes. Â
âYou look right knackered.â Â
You pick your head up, smiling when Ron takes a seat across from you at The Great Hall. Â
âYou alright?â Harry asks, worried and you nod. Â
âJust didnât sleep much.â Â
âOr at all.â Hermione says as she takes a seat beside you and you shake your head, your cheeks flushing. Â
âN-N-No, just didnât get enough.â Â
Hermione stares at you inquisitively, her brown orbs narrowed. Â
You knew she knew you were lying, but youâd decided to keep up the ruse anyway. Â
âSo, r-ready for Potions today?â You ask, taking a swig of your Pumpkin Juice and Ron scoffs. Â
âWhoâs ever ready for Potions with Snape?â He snickers, his eyes widening when the aforementioned professor walks by, using a piece of parchment in his hand to smack Ron in the head. Â
You slap a hand over your mouth to stifle your laughter, as Ron pouts, rubbing the back of his head. Â
âStop laughing you git.â Â
Hermione meanwhile is still looking at you inquisitively, wondering what it was that kept you up so late, and why you were so adamant about changing the subject. Â
She hums, taking a sip of her juice. Â
If you werenât going to tell her what was going on, sheâd find out on her own. Â
                             ***
Hermione frowns when the light from your wand flickers out, the spell yet again failing. Â
âItâs alright Y/N, you just have to find a happy memory to focus on.â She runs a gentle hand down your back. Â
You swallow hard, nodding. Â
âI-I know...â You murmur softly, head hanging in defeat. Â
Hermione gives you an apologetic smile. Â
âWeâll get it Y/N, together.â Â
You turn to Hermione, a warmth spreading throughout your chest as you look at the Gryffindor whoâs sending you the sweetest smile youâd ever seen.
âTogether?â You ask and she nods, slipping an arm around you, before giving you a squeeze. Â
âTogether.â Â
                             ***
It was obvious to anyone with eyes that you were exhausted, and incredibly agitated. Â
You had, again, forgone sleep to practice on conjuring your Patronus, but you again, had failed. Â
The DA werenât meeting that night, which gave you the opportunity to head into the Room of Requirement on your own to practice the spell. Â
You WOULD master it, no matter what it took, you WOULD find a memory to focus on, no matter what. Â
                             ***
Hermione eventually finds you later that day, your head buried in a book in the library, though itâs not because youâre reading, itâs because youâre fast asleep. Â
She tiptoes over to you, the girl silently taking a seat beside you, smiling when she realizes youâre snoring softly. Â
She shakes her head, opening up the book sheâd brought with her, ready for the world around her to melt away. Â
You mumble in your sleep, pulling Hermioneâs attention away from the world currently resting in her hands and back to reality. Â
If she were being honest, you had a habit of drawing her attention, you were an enigma, and Hermione was never the type to leave a mystery unsolved. Â
                             ***
The snarl that leaves you is absolutely feral as you throw your wand across the room. Â
âWHY CANâT I FORM A PATRONOUS.â You say angrily. Â
Youâre so angry in fact that you completely miss the Room of Requirementâs door creaking open, and Hermione Granger slipping inside. Â
You run your hands down your face as you stomp towards your wand.
Hermione crosses her arms across her chest as she watches you flick your wand. Â
âEXPECTO PATRONOUM!â You yell, growling when your wandâs tip doesnât even light. Â
Hermione frowns as you flick your wand over and over again, growling the spell each and every time growing angrier and angrier. Â
Itâs only after that, that you spot Hermione, your eyes widening in shock. Â
âHe-Hermione.â You stutter, clearing your throat, your cheeks flushing in embarrassment.
âHow long have you been standing there?â You ask, unable to look at the girl who moves closer to you. Â
âLong enough... This is why youâve been so tired lately?â Â She asks and you sigh flopping to the floor, your back resting against the wall next to the fireplace. Â
âI canât do it.â You sigh, your chin resting on your knee caps. Â
Hermione takes a seat in front of you, as you attempt to swallow the lump in your throat. Â
âWhatâs holding you back?â Â
Your eyes flutter shut, your chest tightening. Â
âI donât have any.â Â
Hermioneâs brows furrow, the girl scooting closer. Â
âAny what?â She whispers and you sigh. Â
âHappy memories.â Â
Hermione frowns sadly. Â
âHarry and I had a...âÂ
You pause.Â
âA similar upbringing.â Â
Hermione scoots towards you until sheâs sitting beside you. Â
âWhat happened?â Â
You swallow hard. Â
âDidnât know my folks, I got my letter in a group home.â Â
You fall silent after that, your head moving to rest on Hermioneâs shoulder, the action making her cheeks flush bright pink.
Nonetheless, she rests her head on top of yours. Â
âSometimes, we have to make our own memories.â Hermione whispers and you smile, warmth yet again spreading throughout your chest. Â
âYeah, yeah we do.â Â
                             ***
That night you actually get some sleep, mostly because Hermione basically drags you to the Gryffindor Common Room and forces you to get some ACTUAL sleep. Â
The following morning you feel lighter than you ever had before, maybe because you finally got an adequate amount of sleep, or maybe it was because of the moment you spent with Hermione in the Room of Requirement. Â
Your cheeks flush, your eyes doubling in size. Â
âThatâs it.â You whisper to yourself with a massive grin. Â
You make your way into The Great Hall, smiling when your eyes catch sight of a familiar head of bushy brown hair, its owner turning to you with a beaming smile.Â
âYou look rested.â Hermione winks and you shake your head, cheeks dusted pink. Â
"Yeah, well you made sure of that.â Â
âYeah, Hermione has a way of forcing people to do things theyâre putting off.â Ron mumbles and Hermione scoffs. Â
âIs this about the Potionâs homework? You needed to get it done Ronald.â Â
Ron scoffs. Â
âYeah, but you didnât need to come into the Boyâs Dormitory and wake me up using Aquamanti!â Â
You slap a hand over your mouth, but are unable to bite back your laughter. Â
âYeah! Laugh it up! Thought Fred and George had threw me out in the marsh around The Burrow again!â Â
Hermione giggles. Â
âHe did scream rather loud.â Â
Hermione leans against you as she giggles harder than youâd ever seen, Ron unable to bite back his laughter at the girlâs case of the giggles. Â
You fall silent, instead choosing to stare at the girl beside you, the girl whose giggles are finally beginning to taper off. Â
You smile, Hermioneâs words from the night before echoing in your head. Â
âSometimes we have to make our own memories.â Â
Hermione falls silent, her brown orbs widening when she realizes youâre staring.Â
âY/N? Are you alright?â She asks and you nod, your smile splitting into a grin. Â
âI am.â You shrug, taking a sip of your Pumpkin Juice. Â
âJust making my own memories.â Â
Hermione grins, cheeks tinged pink as she gives you a nudge, the girl leaning against you through the remainder of breakfast. Â
                             ***
âYou can do this Y/N, remember, happy memory.â Harry pats your back and you nod, taking a deep breath. Â
Weeks of trying to search for a single happy memory you had hidden deep within your brain had resulted in failure, but now, with thoughts of the Gryffindor girl standing beside you running through your mind, you knew, you knew this was it. Â
You glance at Hermione, earning a nod. Â
âI believe in you.â She whispers, your heart skipping a beat in your chest. Â
You grin, twirling your wand in between your fingers. Â
The remainder of the DA watches as you hold out your wand, the words that had been leaving your mouth for weeks now, yet again passing through your lips, though with a bit more confidence than usual. Â
âEXPECTO PATRONUM!â Â
Light bursts from the tip of your wand, the blue bright light swirling through the air as it takes form. Â
Your smile splits in a grin as a bright blue massive wolf forms before you, head held high in confidence, the epitome of strength. Â
It runs around the room before it stops in front of you.
The beast nuzzles against your palm until your stroke itâs fur, Hermione grinning, as she watches you interact with your Patronus, after trying so hard to get it to form. Â
âYouâve done it.â She whispers and you smile. Â
The massive wolf leaves you and prances to Hermione, nudging her hand with its nose until she strokes its head, the wolf licking her palm.
You huff. Â
âYou like her more than me?â You ask, the wolf yipping as it vanishes in thin air.
âBlimey, whatâs a wolf mean?!â Ron whispers to Harry, the two boys smiling when you launch yourself at Hermione, the two of you grinning, arms wrapped tightly around one another. Â
âStrength. Loyalty.â Luna whispers. Â
Meanwhile, Hermione squeezes you tightly. Â
âI knew you could do it.â Â
You grin. Â
âI just had to make my own happy memories, memories I made with you.â Â
The two of you reluctantly part, your eyes widening when you realize the two of you are rather close to one another, your noses inches apart. Â
You blink slowly, your cheeks flushed bright red. Â
âUh...â Â
Hermioneâs cheeks mirror your own, the two of you abruptly turning away from one another, both nervously fidgeting. Â
âTh-Thanks Mione, I couldnât have done it without you, li-literally.â You stutter, shuffling nervously from foot to foot. Â
Harry claps his hands suddenly, the boy grinning. Â
âI think thatâs a perfect way to end practice, see you all Friday night.â Â
The DAâs members slowly make their way out of the room, stopping to congratulate you until itâs just you, Ron, Harry and Hermione. Â
âThat was absolutely brilliant mate.â Ron says as he claps your shoulder, Â
âFantastic.â Â
Harry glances at Hermione out of the corner of his eye, his blue orbs narrowing when he sees the look of nervousness on Hermioneâs face. Â
Harry gives his best friend a pat on the back. Â
âWe should get back to the common room, mate.â
Ron nods, turning to you and Hermione. Â
âYou coming?â He asks, though before you can answer, Hermione does. Â
âActually, Iâd like a moment alone with Y/N.â Â
The boyâs wave, taking their leave moments later, but not before Harry can send his old friend a wink, the girl sending him a glare. Â
The Room of Requirementâs door bangs shut, leaving you and Hermione alone for the first time all day. Â
âI canât thank you enough Mione, I-â You stop midsentence when you see her nervously fidgeting.
Hermioneâs gaze drops to the floor as you move closer, the girlâs eyes fluttering shut. Â
You werenât used to seeing her so nervous around you, sheâd typically been much like the books she was so fond of reading, and that was entirely open. Â
âHermione... Whatever it is, we can-
You again fall silent, though this time itâs because Hermioneâs brown orbs have finally locked with yours. Â
âLi-Listen...â She swallows hard, wringing her fingers nervously. Â
âIâve never been good when it comes to relationships, Iâve never really BEEN in a relationship, I mean I talked to Victor Krum, but that doesnât matter, we never dated, we-
Hermione rambles on, her hands flailing wildly. Â
âIâve... Iâve never felt this way about, about a girl and I just-
You tune out, your eyes widening and cheeks flushing. Â
Hermione meanwhile is still rambling on, jumping from topic to topic. Â
âI just- I really like you and I- I'm not used to things like this, like I said Iâve never-
Hermione stills, brown orbs wide and hands frozen in mid-air as your lips brush hers, the touch delicate, as well as hesitant. Â
You pull back, your eyes flying open in fear. Â
Hermione meanwhile, is standing stock still, mouth agape and brown orbs wide.Â
She'd never expected a kiss to feel like yours had, yes, sheâd been kissed before, but the tender caress of your lips was far more than a kiss from a boy could EVER be. Â
âHave I rendered Hermione Granger speechless?â You ask nervously, pulling Hermione out of her trance. Â
She opens and closes her mouth a few times, attempting to find her voice, though the thing that leaves her mouth when she finally DOES find her voice makes you laugh. Â
âBloody hell.â Â
You bark out a laugh, your lips splitting into a grin. Â
Hermioneâs cheeks flush. Â
âForgive me for not knowing how to reply after a rather significant kiss.â She shakes her head and your brows arch. Â
You hum, eye glinting with hope. Â
âSignificant?â You ask, the girlâs cheek flushing even a darker shade of red. Â
âCo-Consequential, I-I've never felt like th-that after  a kiss.â She stutters and you swallow, your tongue swiping at your lips. Â
âWo-Would you be interested in...â
You shuffle from foot to foot.Â
âAnother significant, consequential kiss?â You ask, nonchalantly. Â
Hermione bites her bottom lip to stave off a smile, the woman swallowing hard. Â
âI-I would be rather interested.â She giggles, the Gryffindor's gaze falling to your lips. Â
This time, Hermione meets you halfway, the girl cupping your cheeks as your lips meet, your hands finding purchase on her waist. Â
A bright light causes the two of you to pull apart, your eyes widening when you see your Patronus happily bounding around the two of you. Â
Hermione grins as the wolf slips between the two of you. Â
âAnother happy memory?â She asks and you smile. Â
âAny memory I make with you is a happy one.â Â
Your lips meet again, with no sense of hesitation from either of you, your lips melding together. Â
Your wolf disappears as the two of you part, Hermioneâs forehead resting against yours. Â
âWhat do you think about making more together?â Â

i just know that something good is going to happen.
part of the cloubusting universe. a continuation of the story of painter!harry and barista!mc. cold decembers baths, too hot baths, and even hotter confessions.
pairing: harry x reader
warnings: language, sexual content
words: 7.8k
series masterlist
a/n: hi. im back. this is just pure sweetness because why not. more will be coming from them, more from earlier on and later on in their relationship and time togetherđ happy reading, hope everyone enjoys and please let me know what you think !đđ
What time are you off ?
You glanced at the time after reading the text from Harry. The morning was incredibly slow, the drab December weather not enticing patrons to come out for a hot coffee.
3pm but I might be able to get out early
You saw the three little dots appear and disappear as Harry was typing, briefly glancing up at the door between looking down at your phone. As suspected, no one had walked in and no one needed anything from you.
Iâm just heading home now
Come by when you can x
Finding yourself smiling down at the phone, typing back a quick response before shutting it off and placing it back in your pocket to do some menial cleaning around the café to pass time.
Sounds goodđ
Time flew by far too slowly. Three people came in between one and two oâclock, and you were left to mindlessly dust inside of cabinets and overstock the counters.
Saya was just as bored as you, the two of you chatting until you saw the clock hit 2:30 and decided that it was close enough for your time to head out. You had loose plans with Harry, him having asked you if you were free after work since he had the day freed up as well.
Which is why you now found yourself walking up the now very familiar steps to his place, finding his door propped open with a book for you.
You knocked once on the door just to let him know that you were there, before picking up the book and letting yourself in.
You saw Harry sitting by the large window, his back facing you. Still wrapped in your jacket, you hung the straps of your tote bag over the back of a chair and moved towards him. You were sure he heard you come in, how could he not have, but he still didnât turn back to face you until you were standing behind him.
âHi there,â he smiled with a quick tilt to his head. Your hands fell to his shoulders, leaning your front against his back as you hugged him from behind.
âWhat are you working on?â You hummed, chin resting against his shoulder. You didnât get a chance to see what he was doing, as he quickly flipped close the two large sketchbooks he had in front of him.
âSecret,â he turned around on the chair, tilting his head as you quickly moved from his shoulder to avoid his chin hitting your cheek. âHow was work?â
âWork was so slow â which I guess was okay. Mâtired.â
Your arm circled around the back of his neck, as one of his own landed to your lower back, pulling you around him. Your lips brushed his temple.
âLips are freezing,â he murmured, tugging you further into him until you were sat over his thighs. Keeping your arm around his neck as he held your back, he hugged you closer after you came in from the chilled December air. âIs it that cold out?â
You cozied in the warmth coming from him, even as you sat still wrapped in your thick coat. âThe heaters are still broken at work.â
He titled his chin, lips brushing your cheek. âAre you still cold?â
You unwrapped your arms from around him, tugging at the buttons keeping your jacket together as you let it fall open. âNot as much,â you laughed lightly when his hand around you helped tug the thick coat off, neither of you caring when it hit the floor. âJust caught a small chill.â
He leant in closer as if pulled by an invisible force towards you, eyes locked. His lips nudged yours, catching them in a small kiss as you revelled in the warmth of his face. His cold fingertips brushing over his cheek, he pulled away with an overdramatic shiver. âYouâre freezing.â
âWarm me up then,â you teased, as his grip tightened around you and his head dipped in to rest in the crook of your neck with a series of little pecks.
âIâm trying ââ he muttered against your skin, before rising his head so that your eyes could once again meet. You brought your hands up to his shoulders, mindlessly tracing the patterns in the knit of his sweater.
You could practically see the strain in the muscles of his cheeks as he tried not to smile. âBut I donât think taking your clothes off is the answer right now.â
He pushed his cheek against yours, breath fanning over your ear. He kissed the corner of your jaw once more while his grip grew even tighter around your back so that you were completely flush against him.
You tapped your fingertips over his neck before muttering to no one in particular, âhowâre you so warm all the time.â
He pulled his head back to face you once more, the tip of his nose gracing over your temple before puckering his lips over the same spot. Another kiss was pressed over your cheek, following the curve down until smooth lips captured your own.
Your fingers had moved up from his neck to his scalp, mindlessly trailing them through his hair. âHow was your day?â
âSlow,â he nodded against you. âWent for a run, did laundry â that kind of day.â
You only hummed, a small silence falling over you as you embraced each other.
âI loveâŠâ
Harry shifted slightly from under you, his voice getting as he fell back into the crook of your neck. âI love the way you smell like coffee.â
His hot breath was felt when he spoke, nuzzling his nose over you for a moment before looking up towards you once again. You let out a soundless laugh, smiling down at him.
âHm,â you could feel the hum come deep from his chest. He inhaled in an exaggerated way, bending his neck down so that his nose brushed along the exposed skin above the neckline of your sweater. âSmell like honey actually â like honey and jasmine.â
You let out a little laugh. âYouâre saying I smell like coffee and tea?â
Although teasing, you were aware of the hint of jasmine in the perfume that was spritzed onto your neck earlier that day and almost surprised that he could tell what it was.
âIâm saying I love the way you smell.â
Even from the slight unfocused way you saw him, you watched the way his lips curved around the word âloveâ, unable to help noticing how often he used the word.
Not answering, instead you lowered your head to rest against his shoulder as you simply embraced each other for a moment. From the way your neck was titling, a small pain was starting to grow in the corner of your neck that had you having to pull away.
Rolling your head back on your neck in a feeble attempt to stretch out the kink, Harryâs fingers squeezed your hips.
âYou okay?â
âJust sore.â The pain that you got from your ribs and shoulder only seem to grow instead of subside, new knots forming every week. âKeep forgetting to make an appointment at the physio.â
Harry hummed, watching as you unlatched one arm from around him to rub over your shoulder. âTake a hot bath â itâll sooth your muscles and warm you up.â
âI donât have a tub,â you watched him, âyou know that.â
âThatâs true,â he smiled. âBut I do.â
The two of you had been together for just over two months, but he still blushed slightly as you held his gaze and rolled your lips in against your teeth.
âIf you want â we donât have to bathe together or anything if you donât want to. Would be nice for your back though.â
You only smiled at your partner. âThat sounds perfect, actually.â
For some reason, the idea of taking a bath with someone else was so extra intimate to you. Showers were one thing â whether Harryâs hands were lathering shampoo in your hair or pushing you against the tile, there was always something a bit quick and rushed about them.
Baths were slow, and peaceful, and had the sole purpose to sit and do nothing other than let yourself relax.
Harry had a surprising amount of bath products, not that it was news to you as you were already familiar with the contents of this washroom cabinets. You found a lavender bubble bath that you poured in, and some epsom salts that were scented with some fresh smelling essential oils.
Waiting for the tub to fill, you rubbed make up remover that you kept at Harryâs over your skin. Taking your time with the process, patting small layers of moisturizer over your newly washed faced.
Sweater was already sitting on the countertop, you did your skincare routine standing in your bra and jeans.
Your attention turned away from your reflection in the mirror when there was a soft knock on the door, followed by Harry speaking your name just loud enough to be heard over the crash of the water falling into the tub.
You giggled lightly as you turned the knob to open the door, endeared by the fact that he knocked first.
âI found these,â he stood at the door way, two little white candles in hand. âOne of them smells like vanilla.â
You hummed in approval, grabbing hold of them, bringing both under your nose as the soft sweet smell surrounded you.
He smiled softly, eyes dropping down to take in the already relaxed state you seemed to have settled into. âTake all the time you want â Iâll start making something to eat.â
You furrowed your brow. âYouâre not joining me?â
âOh â figured you want some time alone, no?â
You shook your head, bottom lip between your teeth. âNo. The water is hot, I put way too much bubble bath in â itâs the perfect recipe for a bath.â
He laughed, walking past the doorway to near you and wrapped an arm around your back so that you wouldnât move back. âI think just being in there with you is enough of a selling point.â
A kiss was pressed to your nose, and then your lips, before the hands on your lower back were smoothing over your bare skin. You could feel his fingertips fiddling with the clasp of your bra, undoing the garment and letting it fall free from your body.
He moved away, just far enough so that he could pull the blue fabric off of you and he let his eyes trail over the skin that was just exposed to him. âIâll go grab some towels.â
When Harry came back, you had fully stripped down and already settled into the tub. Your back resting against one side, water hitting just at the middle of your chest with bubbles sticking to the skin of your breasts.
The water was too hot, but in a good way. In the kind of way that you took a bit longer to fully settle yourself in, but once you were in you didnât want to leave.
âHow is it?â
You only hummed in response; eyelids half closed. You could still see him move around the small space of the bathroom, shutting the door and flicking a lighter until the wick of the candles was crackling. He turned off the overhead lights, eyes glancing at you as if to check if you were okay with it.
The melodic songs of Francoise Hardy filled the room, echoing nicely around you. You could hear him shuffling around, and you peaked an eye open to catch him just as he was tugging his sweater over his head.
He placed it next to your clothes on the counter, already pulling up the teeshirt he wore under it. His back was turned to you, the orange glow of the candlelight lighting up his skin. Every dip in muscles was accentuated with a deep shadow, and you shifted a bit in the tub to get a better view of him.
His baggy pants were easily kicked aside, and it was just as his thumbs were hooking into the elastic of his briefs that he caught your eye through the mirror. âEnjoying the view?â
âI am, very much so,â you watched the smirk pull on the corner of his mouth at your words.
He kept his eyes locked with yours as he tugged the last piece of clothing off. He didnât miss the way your eyes dropped, followed by you quickly looking away and shutting your eyes as if embarrassed to be caught staring. Although there was a smile that lingered on your lips, and the both of you knew that you were anything but embarrassed.
Your eyes only reopened when you heard a splash followed by a little hiss, and after peaking an eye open you saw him sitting at the edge of the tub with half a leg submerged in the water.
âItâs really hot,â he laughed a little, slowly sinking the other leg to join the other. Â
âItâs nice,â you hummed, watching as he pushed himself off the edge and slowly eased into the tub. Sitting across from you, he extended his legs out.
Your limbs moved with a splash as you brought your knees to your chest, allowing him some room for his legs.
âBring âem over here,â he hummed, a little wave of his hand as he motioned to your half-hidden legs. You placed them over his under the water, immediately feeling one of his hands gripping onto your calf to adjust you slightly.
He sank down against the back of the tub, settling in nicely. Your gaze remained on his, watching a little drop in his eyelids as he relaxed. âIt is really nice.â
You opened your eyes further at his words, blinking some haze from your vision as you fully focused on him. âI should take baths much more oftenâ
âOf course,â he continued, âitâs not the same when Iâm alone.â
You couldnât really see through the bath water given the amount of bubbles, but his hands never ceased moving over your legs. Small traces of fingertips mixed with the kneading into the skin, you found yourself subconsciously slipping deeper into the tub and closer towards him.
The peaceful silence settled around the two of you. The only sound was coming from the speaker, quiet lulling of the music fitting the mood perfectly.
Harryâs hand on your leg was mindlessly rubbing on your skin, dancing from your ankle to your knee with slow movements before repeating the same action on your other leg.
âFeels nice,â you murmured after a moment â a few seconds a few minutes, you had no idea.
âYeah?â
âMm,â you hummed, not missing the little twitch in his lip. âYou know I love your hands.â
He laughed, thumb massaging into your calf. âAnd what else do you love about me?â
You knew he was teasing, but you felt your heart beat a bit faster in your chest. Only letting out a breathy laugh, giving him a shove with your foot before he joined in your laughter.
âYou know,â he said, after a moment in silence. âI can try and massage some of those knots out your back if youâd like.â
âYou think so?â You asked, even though you knew that he was probably right, you didnât know why youâd never thought of it before.
He nodded. âEspecially with your muscles all relaxed in this hot water.â
You didnât need much convincing after that, the idea being one of the best youâd heard all day.
Turning a bit awkwardly in the tub, you moved until you were sitting between Harryâs legs with your back towards him. Rising your legs a bit, you leant forward on to rest your elbows on your knees so that you could expose more of your back.
With a splash in the water, Harry brought both arms out and placed his hands on either side of your back. His hands were warm, the entire bathroom was steamy and warm but Harry always seemed that much warmer.
You felt him trail his palms over the upper part of your back, gently pressing into your skin. He more or less knew where you had issues, but he wanted to feel it out first.
âItâs here?â He spoke, voice cutting though the comfortable silence after a moment as he gently pressed his fingertips under one of your shoulder blades.
You nodded, before speaking. âYeah,â bringing one of your own hands around to press into a particularly tight spot just under your shoulder. âAnd here too, and then ââ you moved your hand lower to the beginning of your ribs. âHere.â
He only hummed, both hands on one side of your back before he slowly pressed a thumb into the skin under your shoulder. You tightened your muscles on instinct, tensing up at the slight pain before willing yourself to relax back down.
âRelax, mâlove,â he hummed into your ear, letting his lips brush over your neck before moving back again. You still hadnât gotten used to the way he talked to you so affectionately, especially when he added âmyâ in front of his names for you. He really made you swoon in ways you had never thought possible.
You dropped your shoulder, doing your best to relax your muscles as much as they would allow. âReally tense,â he spoke again, few more seconds of rubbing into the knot.
It was already feeling a bit better, although the knot was tight and hurt when he applied more pressure you knew he could apply a bit more. âCan you press harder?â
He wordlessly followed your instruction, having your head dip down a bit until your chin hit your chest and your eyes were falling shut.
He massaged into your skin while slowly adding more pressure, both hands moving along the expanse of your back.
You hummed low in your throat when he pressed against the spot by your ribs. Shifting a bit in the tub, feeling Harryâs thighs squeeze your hips. âIs it okay?â
âYeah,â your voice cracked, needing to pause to cough slightly before you spoke again. âJust a really sore spot.â
He didnât say anything else from behind you, fingertips moving away from the spot for a moment. You could hear him shift in the tub behind you, water splashing as he readjusted himself.
Feeling a very light pressure, one that that wasnât his fingers but rather his lips against the knot in your back as pressed a gentle kiss on your sin.
He pressed another, and another before his hands were back on the spot, tightly kneading into the skin. âFeels good?â
You only nodded with a hum, as he continued to work on the spot with the occasional kiss to your skin.
Minutes passed, and you were slowly relaxing further against him. Your legs unfolding and extending forward, feeling Harryâs legs on your side close you in further. Although there was still a small distance kept between your back and his front to make room for his hands, you found yourself shifting closer to him.
His hands moved around your sides, thumbs pressing gently into the sides of your breasts. He was kissing over every place his fingertips touched on your back, soft hums against your skin as his chin nudged your spine.
He rested his chin over your shoulder, cheek nudging your neck as he muttered close to your ear.
âFeeling better?â
You again had to clear your throat before speaking. âFeels a lot better thank you,â you hummed, turning your head slightly to catch the corner of his grin in a kiss.
He clicked his tongue. âNo, no Iâm not done.â His hand moved to your jaw, gently turning your head back to face forward once more.
You laughed lightly, following his order and facing the off-white tile of the wall in front of you.
Though he said he wasnât done, he didnât start to massage into your skin right away. Instead you felt his lips press on the crook of your neck, moving down to your shoulder as he trailed a series of kisses down your skin.
âMm,â he hummed, sound low in your ears. âI love how you still smell like coffee.â
âI do not,â you laughed softly, lifting your hands from under the water with a splash.
âYes,â his mouth moved against the curve your shoulder, âyou do.â His teeth nipped over your skin.
He sighed heavy in his chest, lips sliding over to the nape of your neck. âI love how you always get goosebumps,â he spoke quietly. âEven now in the steaming hot bath.â
Your shoulders shook slightly with a quiet laugh, knowing he was right that you often got goosebumps under his touch, not matter the temperature around you.
His hands slid down your shoulders and to your front, wrapping around your tummy and pulling your closer to him along the bottom of the tub. âI,â he sighed heavy again, chest rising over your back. âLove how you feel with me â canât seem to get enough.â
His thumbs grazed the underside of your breasts. His lips were still against your skin, feeling them move as he spoke and pressed random kisses over your back.
He murmured your name, sounding so soft off his mouth and deep from his chest. Your head was spinning; you didnât know if it was from the heat in the air, from the lack of hydration or from the words the man behind you was kissing into your skin.
âI love you.â
The words were quiet, so quiet that if you werenât pressed against him you wouldnât have heard it. He kissed a spot over your spine as he whispered the three little words, no doubt feeling every function of your body come to a stop.
This time he didnât stop you when your head turned over your shoulder to face him.
He quickly spoke again. âI donât expect you to say anything, I just ââ he paused with a slow exhale, like he was letting go of everything he was possibly holding on to. âI just wanted to tell you.â
You shifted around, legs moving so that you could bend them and fully turn around in the space of the tub until your front was facing his.
He moved as well, allowing your space so that you could sit on his thighs in a straddle. Hands wrapped around your back under the water, holding you in place on top of him.
His eyes were intent on you, jumping between each of your eyes as he tried to gage any possible reaction you could have to his words.
There was a small furrow between his brows, one that you wanted to smooth your thumb over and kiss. Lifting both arms out of the water, you gently wrapped them around his neck to pull him in even closer.
âYou do?â
You felt drunk on him. The slight teasing tone in your voice wasnât completely on purpose, you couldnât help the words tumbling from your mouth.
Though, Harry laughed. A small laugh that came from his chest, as that furrow between his eyebrows disappeared and a smile graced his mouth. He dipped his down forehead falling against your shoulder for a moment.
âI do,â he hummed, pressing a kiss to the curve of your neck before lifting his head back up. âAnd I really â I really love you.â
Your shoulders dropped, letting go of tension you didnât realize you were currently holding. His hands on your back squeezed your skin lightly, pulling your tighter against him.
Face nearing yours, you didnât realize how close you had gotten as you were subconsciously leaning in closer with your eyes zeroed in on his.
Your voice came out a bit hoarse, a quiet little rasp from the back of your throat. âI love you too.â
His hands gripped your even tighter, causing you to shift over his thighs until your chest were fully pressed together. âDo you now?â
You wanted to laugh out loud, instead a quiet laugh shook through your chest as you felt your chest warm more than it already was. You pushed against him with your palms pressed flat above his chest. âStop that.â
His hands slid lower on your back, squeezing the skin above your hips as he smiled wide. âTell me again.â
âNo,â you dipped your face against his shoulder, cheek pressed into his neck.
âTell me,â he chuckled, gripping the soft skin of your hips with a nudge of his chin over your temple. âI wanna hear you say it again.â
You peppered a light kiss over his collarbone. One hand moved up his chest, cupping his jaw loosely as you pulled away from the curve of his neck. Not saying anything, you met his happy eyes with your own while following the curve of his cheek with your thumb.
Brushing over his skin, the tips of his hair falling forward ticking your hand as it moved up his jaw, parted fingers weaving through his hair. Your other hand repeating the same motion, this time lightly moving your thumb over his pinkened lips, keeping a firm hold of his jaw.
You pushed moved yourself closer to him once again, pressing a soft kiss to his mouth. His lips instantly puckered with yours, eyes falling shut when he moved to meet your mouth.
He kissed you lightly, although the firm hold that he had around your hips told a different story. Moving you closer to him, your knees readjusting under the water as they planted firmly against the smooth white of the tub.
Hips jutting into his, you gripped him tighter. Your lips parted with a subtle smacking sound that would have been inaudible to anyone else, kissing one, two, three more times on his mouth before whispering, âI love you.â
You felt his lips turn up against yours, his cheeks rounding under your fingertips.
One of his hands rounded around the back of your neck, pulling you back in to kiss him deeply. His tongue easily met yours as you sighed into his mouth, twisting your fingers through his hair. He quietly whispered your name against your lips, licking over your lips gently before pulling you in for another kiss.
Your hands now slid down his shoulders, down his chest under the water in the tub. You felt him shiver against you, unsure if it was at the affect of your touch on him or of the cooling water of the tub Your mouths parted with a wet smack, his lips nudging the underside of your jaw as he nipped at the sensitive skin.
Your own lips were resting against his temple, hands circling around his hips as you could feel his hardening length pressing into your thigh.
âYouâre hard,â you observed, mumbling into his skin.
He laughed lightly, voice sounding a little breathless. âI got the most gorgeous girl sitting on my lap, telling me she loves me,â he pulled you forward, causing the water around you to splash against the side of the tub. âHow could I not be?â
You giggled against his skin, letting him tug you closer until the bubbles stuck to your skin were getting squished between the both of your chests. Moving one of your hands from his hips to land it gently under the way over top of his thigh, letting your nails dig gently into his skin.
Lips slid against each once again, a bit more fire under your actions as your tongue slid against his and your chests heaved with heavier breaths. You could tell that he was extremely aware of the soft brushes of your fingers over his thigh, as you slowly inched your palm higher up.
You could hear his breath hitch and his mouth slack over yours when your hand slipped up to grab a light hold of his cock. Simply holding him in your hand for a beat, letting your lips fall from his mouth down to his jaw, before licking wet stripe under his earlobe. He was leaning into your touch, chest falling against yours as his arms wrapped tighter around your lower back.
His legs jolted slightly when you stroked your hand over him, his knees rising with a small bend in his legs that had you falling into him even more. He brought one of his hands from your back and up from under the water, taking a light hold of your chin to tilt your head back up to his.
His mouth was on yours in a matter of seconds, biting into your bottom lips before kissing your deeply. You tugged on his length from under the water, thumbing over his tip as circled around him. Your hand falling over him again, applying more pressure when he moaned quietly against you.
âFuck,â he called softly, as you kept working your hand over him. Moving away from you again, he leant against the back of the tub with a blissed out smile over his lips and heavy eyelids. âThat feels good.â
You leaned in to him, kissing over the skin of his neck that was newly exposed to you. âGood,â you breathed over his neck, your thumb following the vein that ran on the underside of him. âI love making you feel good.â
Leaning forward to kiss over his collarbone, tasting the slight remains of soapy bubbles on his skin as your lips moved over him. You grazed your fingertips along his sensitive skin, as he involuntarily bucked his hips up into your hand, soft moan coming from his throat.
His fingertips dug into your skin. âDo you,â he breathed. âDâyou want to get out of the tub? The waterâs getting cold.â
You hummed against him, not stopping the motions of your hands under the water. âWhat do you say we do after then?â
A quick tug at your hips had him bringing your attention back to his face. One of his hands nudged the bottom of your chin, further tilting your head up to his. âGoing to take you to bed.â
You were both quick, not too quick as to not slip on the bottom of the tub, to get out and drain the water. Harry had wrapped a big warm towel around your shoulders, rubbing at your arms as he hugged you from behind.
His hips were pressing tightly into your backside, a quiet grunt was heard from him as you pushed back into his hardening cock. With his arms around you, he dipped his head down to quickly find your neck with his lips, gracing it with a smattering of kisses.
âHarry,â you murmured, tightening the towel around your shoulders. Watching him through the mirror, you brought a hand up to brush through his hair. âHarry,â you called, tugging lightly on the strands to get his attention.
âSunshine,â he mumbled against the skin of your neck, arms tightening around your middle. You felt him pressing hard against your bum, teeth nipping into your skin over your shoulder.
âThought you said something about taking me to bed.â
He took you off guard, spinning you around in his arms so that your backside was pressed against the ledge of the bathroom counter. He glanced at you with a glint in his eyes. âWe have to get dried off first.â
His hands rested over yours, easily having you release the towel from your hold as instead he grabbed the soft material. Dragging the fabric over your back, letting the front fall open as his gaze fell along with the towel.
Bending at his knees slightly, dipping his head down to kiss over water drops that were running down your chest. You held your breath, already feeling wetness pool where you knew he was headed, and you were growing slightly impatient.
He fully dropped down to his knees, letting the towel fall down to your legs along with him. His towel covered hands ran along your calves, moving up over your knees in small motions. You glanced down at him, watching as he focused on ever small drop of water covering your skin.
âSo soft,â he murmured, one hand skimming and pulling over the skin of your thighs. He brought his other hand with the towel to brush over the swell of your ass, gripping and releasing the skin a few times in his hand before letting the towel fall to the ground and wrapping both hands around your hips.
You couldnât keep your eyes away from him, surprisingly not feeling cold as you usually did when you got out of a bath or shower. He wrapped a hand around your hip to pull you closer to him, one of your hands still resting against the bathroom counter. His other hand slowly smoothed around your inner thigh, pulling on the soft flesh as he prompted you to part your legs wider for him.
He leaned in closer, pressing a single kiss to your inner thigh with lingering lips. The simple motion had you in a frenzy, your heart starting to beat faster in your chest as you could practically hear his thought process.
In the time you had been together, although still quite short, you had quickly learned Harryâs affinity for getting a taste of you. Whether it was slow and deep as he edged you on, or quick and wet to bring you to a quick orgasm, he seemed to continuously enjoy going down on you.
Which was no surprise when he glanced up at you with a stupid little smile, telling you âI think I have to dry you off with my mouth.â
The comment was a completely ridiculous concept, but you didnât have a chance to tell him as he nudged you against the counter, keeping your thighs parted with one hand and leant in to plant a kiss over your clit.
Wrapping a hand around your thigh, with the other pushing against your folds to part them further as he teased over you with his fingertips. Kissing over you once more, his tongue poked out from parted lips to flick over the sensitive bit of nerves.
You knew you were wet, had been before he had touched you and obviously, he knew it too, but it still sent a warmth through your tummy when Harry muttered âdonât think youâre just wet from the bath, angel.â
You whined into the air, not having the capacity to think of anything to say back to him as he licked over your slit, finding wetness pooling at your entrance. You jolted under his touch when he moved his tongue back up to your clit, lips circling around it with light flicks with the tip of his tongue.
A hand landed in his hair, gripping on his tightly when he dragged his fingers around your sensitive inner thigh and to where you wanted to feel them. As much as he liked to get a taste of you, he liked to tease you.
Keeping light movements over your clit, his tongue darted down to circle around your entrance once more with a muffled moan when you whined his name. Pulling back for a second, be placed a light kiss over your clit as you spoke a broken call for him once again, before he was pushing a finger inside of you.
As much as he liked to tease you, he loved to give you what you wanted just as much.
It was rushed, and messy, and just like two people who wanted to feel the other as much as they could, far too desperate for the other.
He had you gripping the countertop tightly with on hand, the other hanging on for dear life in his hair. You could feel the beginning of the burn in the pit of your stomach, and you tugged on him just a bit harder to grab his attention. âHarry,â you whined, repeating his name again.
Humming against you, he moved his mouth over to the fleshy inside of your thigh and bit over the skin with a wet kiss. âWhatâs that?â
âTake me to bed,â you breathed, wanting nothing more than to feel him inside of you. âFuck me.â
He gazed up at you for a moment, dark eyes meeting yours before peppering another kiss over your thigh. Moving up slightly, slowly lifting himself from his spot kneeled between you. Grazing light touches over your hipbone, over your stomach, over your breast.
Pressing your palms against his shoulder, pushing him back slightly as you searched for one of his hands to grab. He easily complied to you as you pushed off the counter, sidestepping Harry as you pulled him by the arm.
He wrapped that arm around your chest, standing behind you as he let you lead him out of the washroom. Walking you to his bed with his arm swung around your front, keeping your back pressed closely against him while messily kissing the side of your face.
Blindly finding his bed, you turned and fell out of Harryâs grasp as you let yourself fall onto the soft comforter. You were both slightly damp, but neither of you cared.
Moving until your head rested by the pillows at the head of the bed, Harry didnât follow over you right away, and instead walked around the mattress to stand by the side.
âCâmere,â you spoke quietly reaching out to grab hold of his hand.
He met the edge of mattress as you pulled him closer to you, wanting to feel him over you. He held your gaze with a slight grin, biting his lips before leaning down towards you and murmuring, ânot going to fuck you,â his breath sent goosebumps all over your neck. âGonna make love to you.â
âCome here.â You repeated, grabbing his hand and tugging him down as he let out a small laugh while he fell over you. His lips landed over the crook of your neck, as your legs parted to make room for him over you.
âThatâs it,â he hummed over your skin, pushing his hips against yours as his lips danced over your skin and his hands roamed your sides. âDâyou want me like this?â
You whined into the air, his palm smoothing over your breast as he pinched your nipple between his fingers and brought his mouth to yours.
âYes,â you paused, hugging his waist with your thighs as you hooked a leg over his ass to push him further against you. âJust like this.â
His lips fell from your mouth, forehead pressing into your cheek. You could feel him over your folds, nudging his hips up so that his tip pushed over your clit. Involuntarily spreading your thighs wider for him, you whimpered at the light contact.
Impatient, you brushed your hand down from his shoulder and over his hips, reaching for his cock between the two of you to help slip him in. Rising his head from the crook of your neck, he glanced at you with a lazy smirk when you gripped his length in your palm.
Running him over you, you let one of your knees hit the mattress as he slowly inched inside of you. Each letting out sounds in unison; you a breathy moan at the feeling of him filling you and him a quick grunt as he bucked into you.
âEvery fuckinâ time,â he groaned, lips mouthing against your jaw.
He gripped your thigh in one hand, fingertips digging into the skin as he hooked your leg tighter around him. Hugging him with your legs, you urged him to keep moving as the slow grinds into your hips were driving you crazy.
He seemed to feel the same way, pulling back and fucking into you harder each time. He had your head nudging the pillow under your head, your fingers holding on for deal life in his hair and you were moaning up against his jaw.
He was unable to go long without having his mouth on yours, stealing sloppy kisses as his hips pumped into yours with muttered praises along the lines of âsuch a pretty cunt,â and âtaking me in so good.â
The way his lips grazed over your earlobe as he spoke, the way he let you hear every moan and whimper that left his lips, the way he spoke to you with a deep low drawl made you whine into the air with nothing but desire for him.
Having him so desperately and passionately made you feel drunk, like you were going to float off the bed. That is, if the feeling of your hips digging into the mattress with ever pound of his hips, and his weight over and inside of you was not making you bite your lip so hard at the sheer intensity of it.
âYou feel good?â He posed it as a question this time, lifting his head from where he was biting into your neck as his nose nudged yours.
You repeated his words from before with a nod, a throaty moan when you met his eyes. âEvery time.â
He groaned over you, catching your mouth in a kiss. âLove fucking you ââ
You were pushed up on the mattress again, the pillow bending oddly under your head but it was the last thing on your mind right now. His hand smoothed over the side of your face, caressing your forehead lightly â a contrast to the fast and sinful pumps of his cock inside of you.
Blinking your eyes shut, you were surprised to find a damp coldness caught in your eyelashes. Realizing the small tears â only out of happiness â lining your waterline as you quickly blinked again.
He stole a kiss from your mouth, as you lifted your head up to meet him hallway. âLove making love with you ââ
His hand left your hair, instead reaching up to grip the headboard with a quick desperation. Your head fell back against the pillow, a strangled moan past your lips as all you could do was nod in agreement. You raised your hand from his shoulder, reaching back as you blindly searched for where his hand had his tight hold over the worn wood. Covering the pack of his hand with your palm, both of you holding for dear life as you grew more desperate to cum.
âOh ââ you arched your back against him, meeting his movements halfway. His other hand was still holding a firm hold around your thigh, hitting a new deepness when your hips met up with his. âLike that â again.â
âYeah?â His breath fanned over your chinned, his hair falling down over his forehead as his pace was unrelenting. âWanna give it to you â fuck,â he cut himself off, feeling you squeeze him tighter. âPlease tell me your close.â
You dug your nails into the skin of his back, calling his name into the air as his lips found your neck. âYeah,â you voice was breathy, distant. âJust a bit more.â
He was hitting the perfect spot inside of you, repeatedly making you see stars. His hand unwrapped from your hip, sneaking between both your bodies as his fingers quickly found your clit. Collecting wetness from where you connected, then met the sensitive bundle with messy but effective strokes.
You loved every kind of sex with him â slow and passionate or like now, quick and both desperate for each other that neither of you cared it didnât take very long to get there.
You were pushing your hips to his, gripping for dear life on his hand over the headboard while call after call of his name left your mouth.
âLove you,â he whimpered, lifting his head with a nudge of his chin over yours. âI love you.â
You felt as if your eyes were rolling into the back of your head. He felt so incredibly deep and close to you. Confessions of love over your mouth had your stomach flip and your core clenching around him. You realized you had never had a partner tell you they loved you during sex, you had never felt this intimately close to anyone in your life.
âLove you more ââ the end of your sentence was cut off by your own moan.
Meeting your release around him, whimpering his name against his skin as he was unrelenting over you. Your hips bucked with his movements, pushing yourself against his hand that paid attention to your clit. It was all for too overwhelming, mixed with the confessions of love that ran through your head.
Your motions were getting slower, the hard pumps of his hips over yours the last bit of what he needed. Barely getting the chance to warn you, a quick breath of âIâm coming ââ over your ear before he was pushing everything he had inside of you.
His hand let go of the headboard along with yours, flipping your palm in his to interlocked your hands over the duvet cover. He was muttering endless praise to you, endless breaths of your name as you both came down from your highs together.
With his chest pressed against yours, he gazed up at you with heart shaped eyes. He bit his smile down, a little laugh leaving past his lips as you raised a hand from his bicep to push his hair out of his face. You kissed his smile, his mouth easily opening for you as you both savoured the other in a brief calm moment.
He kissed the side of your cheek, leaving a small trail as he kissed over the corner of your eyes, not doubt noticing the small wet patches from the small tears that escaped your eyes in the overwhelming intimacy.
He didnât say anything right away, but you could see the corners of his lips curve to a light smile. âYou okay?â
A slow nod, you took a heavy swallow to help your dry throat before speaking. âYeah, I just,â you paused, searching for the right words. âItâs never been like that. Iâve never⊠felt like that.â
He was silent for a moment, watching you intently. âIn a good way,â you quickly added. âIn the best way.â
âI know,â he muttered against your mouth, pushing himself up over you as you unhooked your ankles from around his thighs to let him move off of you. Withdrawing from inside of you, you could already feel him making a small mess over the crest of your thighs but you didnât care, that was a problem for later.
You let out a breathless sigh, grazing his cheek with your fingertips as you watched his eyes flick over every inch of your face. Slowly lowering his face once more, pressing a soft but firm kiss over the corner of your lips.
He fell to his side, lying on his hip with his up half still supported over top of you. âThink I love you even more after that.â

Mending Us Pt 1
Harry quickly fell asleep that night and easily stayed asleep until the next morning. While he would usually get up and out of bed as soon as heâd wake, Harry stayed in bed that morning, holding Lily. He was completely content doing so, and knew Lily wouldnât complain about cuddling the morning away either.
  Lily stayed asleep longer than she would have had Harry left the bed. But instead, she was still wrapped up in his arms all nice and cozy. Finn was also taking advantage of his parents both staying in bed later than usual.
 Harry took his time waking up, moving as little as possible so he wouldnât disturb Lily or even Finn who was still at the bottom of the bed. Harry always appreciated whenever Finn let them sleep in but knew itâd be soon that heâd be asking for his breakfast.
  Lily groaned softly as she turned on her side and into Harryâs chest, humming a little before letting out a sigh as she settled into the blankets again. She was on the verge of waking up, but not quite ready.
  Harry shifted with Lily onto his side, holding her securely in both of his arms and resting his chin lightly against the top of her head. He couldnât help his smile that formed upon hearing her tired groans, knowing his Lily would never be a morning person.
  Lily breathed in Harryâs scent from her place nestled in his neck; the smell a mix of their body wash and also sex. A tired smile came to her lips before she was sleepily pressing them to his neck.
  Harry had a sleepy smile feeling Lilyâs lips on his neck, which is when he realized that she was awake. âIs my lovey up?â he asked softly, tracing his fingers along her spine.
  Lilyâs back arched slightly at the tickling sensation of his fingers on her spine. âBarely,â she mumbled groggily. Her arms slid further around Harry before growing slack once more.
  Harry rested his hand against Lilyâs skin when she leaned away from the initial touch. âI can tell,â he smiled a bit, laying his head down and closing his eyes so they could continue to wake up together.
  Lily kept her eyes closed, not about to fall back asleep, but not quite ready to wake up either. This almost felt like a dream. Itâd been so long since sheâd gotten to wake up with Harry like this instead of being woken up by an alarm or finding an empty bed. She didnât want it to end.
  Harry would be happy to take all morning to wake up with Lily, or to have another full lazy, cuddly day. Thankfully Harry always tried to work slightly ahead of schedule so he planned to set work aside again, and hoped it wouldnât become too much of a problem later on. âHowâd you sleep, babe?â
  Lily simply hummed in response at first until she managed to put together a proper answer. âSplendid, love. Havenât slept that good in a while,â she murmured. âSo warm.â
  He was very happy to hear Lilyâs answer, having felt the same; he hadnât gotten that good of a sleep in forever, it seemed like. âGood, lovey. Iâm glad,â he said, rubbing his hand slowly along her back.
  Lily placed a few more lazy kisses to his neck before nuzzling her nose against it. âWhat about you, babes?â she asked, though she suspected his answer.
  Harry held Lily closer with each kiss she gave him, his hand flat against the small of her back. âI slept really good,â he nodded and smiled small, âAnd I could really get used to not getting up to do work in the morning and cuddling here with you instead.â
  Lilyâs mood dimmed a little at the reminder that this was no longer the norm. âSundays,â she requested. âAt least give us Sundays like this.â They could spare one morning for this, couldnât they?
  Harry looked down at Lily. He could never say no to her. Plus, the plan seemed completely feasible. It was the least he could do. âSundays it is.â
  Lily pulled her head back and laid it properly on the pillow so she could see him. âPromise?â she asked in barely more than a whisper.
  Harryâs gaze was on Lily fully and he took a moment to think before nodding; he didnât want to make a promise that he couldnât keep. âI promise,â he told her, gently squeezing her hip.
  Lily got nervous when it took a moment for Harry to respond, used to him usually being more confident. She gave him a small smile, though, and lifted her head so she could give him a sweet kiss.
  Harry returned the slight smile before the kiss, closing the space between them. Harry thought it might take a bit to get back to their normal selves, but thought they were already doing much better than they were a day or two ago.
  Lily pulled back, but stayed closer than before. She laid there quietly for a few moments, fingers tracing nonsensical patterns along his back. âWhat do you say to fixing breakfast together? Maybe pancakes?â Itâd been a while with Harry usually fixing his own breakfast before she even woke up; so Lily typically did something small and quick.
  Harry gently brushed Lilyâs hair back as he looked down at her, able to tell she was thinking about something. He quickly nodded at her suggestion. âI would love to. Think weâve got some fruit in there as well, we could fix that up.â
  âMmm,â Lily smiled. âThat sounds delicious.â Too bad it was still too cold to enjoy their breakfast together in the garden. Theyâd have to move Harryâs things and eat at the table. âKinda donât want to get out of bed until the little fluffball decides heâs hungry. He never lets us stay in bed this long without feeding him,â she giggled.
  Harry glanced down at Finn with a smile, careful not to move too much. He didnât want to jinx it and potentially wake the little guy up. âI know, I thought heâd be up a while ago⊠Iâm glad he let us sleep in together,â he said, laying his head back down on the pillow.
  âI think our baby missed this, too,â Lily mused. Finn would try to be close to Harry and try to get his attention, but it wasnât the same. Lily was the one who played with him when he got the zoomies and she was the one curled up with the fuzzy blanket on the couch while she worked on wedding things.
  âMe too. He looks really cozy down there,â Harry smiled a little. He very much missed their lazy days when all three of them would be snuggled up together on the couch.
  Lily returned her attention to Harry. She could see his clean-shaven, baby face easier now in the morning sunlight. His skin was golden, even despite the fact that it was winter which is something Lily was very much jealous of. Though the morning sun did help. One of her hands moved from his back to instead lightly trace over his features. First brushing over his cheekbones and then down his nose to trace his Cupidâs bow.
  Harry pulled the blankets up as he wasnât ready to get out of bed just yet. He was fully distracted by Lily, though, as she began to trace his skin. He just watched and let her do as she pleased, a smile forming at her obvious focus. âLove you,â he murmured, kissing the pad of her finger when it arrived at his lips.
  Lily smiled softly as she gently pulled his bottom lip down with her finger before cupping his chin. âLove you, too. More than anything,â she replied, eyes flicking up to his. âCrazy how much I love you.â It was overwhelming sometimes.
  Harry smiled more and more with each word. He felt exactly the same. Heâd tell her a million times over if Lily wanted him to, and she knew that too, but instead he leaned forward to kiss her slowly, letting it linger.
  Lilyâs eyes slipped closed and she melted into the kiss before going for another. Her body felt like it was overflowing with love for Harry and she didnât know what else to do.
  Theyâd gone through a lot the past few months. Harry didnât think there was a better way to spend a Sunday morning, or while waiting for their Finn to wake up, than this, finally taking the time to be close to one another again. The kisses didnât stop and Harry didnât want them to, his hand at the back of her neck.
  âI canât wait to marry you,â Lily got out between kisses. It felt like ages since theyâd talked about their wedding day in a dreamy way. Sure, the planning was stressful, but when it came down to it, Lily couldnât be more excited. Theyâd both been wanting it for so long.
  Harry traced his fingers along Lilyâs skin, keeping her close. He couldnât have agreed with her more. âIâd so marry you right now if I could,â he smiled against her lips, moving his hand down to her hip, âCannot wait for our wedding day, darling. Gonna be perfect.â
  Lily giggled softly and booped him on the nose. âNo. If only because weâve put too much work into this wedding,â she laughed. âPlus, I want all our family and friends there celebrating with us. Thatâs whatâs going to make it so perfect.â
  Harry smiled as he pulled away a little, looking down at her. âCould not agree more,â he returned the boop to her nose, âThen our honeymoooon.â
  Lily flopped onto her back with a dramatic sigh. âItaly,â she grinned dreamily before turning her head to look to Harry. âCanât believe weâre doing it.â Itâd been another country theyâd talked about wanting to visit and Lily had been absolutely giddy when theyâd booked their flights and romantic villa.
  Harry smiled watching Lily, bringing his hand around to rest on her stomach. âI know. Weâve been talking about it for so long,â he rubbed his thumb against her skin, âAbsolutely canât wait.â
  âYouâre just excited for all the pasta,â Lily teased, resting her hand on top of his. Sheâd be lying though if she said she wasnât excited for the food. âWeâll just have pasta and wine delivered to the villa every day.â
  âSounds like a plan to me. Wonât even have to leave the villa,â Harry joked with a smile, slipping his free hand underneath his pillow. He was looking forward to their vacation with finally no worries of wedding planning or school.
  âJust sex, pasta, wine, repeat,â Lily nodded before giggling. It sounded like an absolute fantasy, especially considering their life recently. They probably wouldnât know what to do with that much freedom and alone time honestly.
  Harry laughed. âIâm completely on board with that.â Theyâd have their list of things theyâd like to do in Italy before going, but he knew they both wanted, and deserved, some time to relax as well. Just then, Harry noticed Finn began to stir, giving a big yawn and stretch when he stood. âUh oh. Cuddly guy is up.â
  Lily glanced down to find Finn waking up. âWell good morning, sleepy baby. Come here,â she lightly patted the small space between her and Harry. Maybe they could distract him and gain a few more minutes in bed before he was demanding breakfast.
  Finn listened and crawled up in the space between them, flopping over to lay belly up. He was looking for some cuddles, mere seconds after waking up from a very deep sleep. âHi Finny,â Harry said softly, giving him the belly rubs he clearly wanted, âLooks like you slept good.â
  Lily laughed at Finnâs unashamed begging for belly rubs. âThe whole family is just having a good sleep and enjoying some snuggles, huh?â she cooed with a grin.
  Harry laughed. âItâs been a while. Weâre all deprived,â he said with a soft smile, happy to finally give Finn all the attention that he wanted. Harry felt bad that he hadnât been able to do exactly that lately.
  Lily smiled down at the cat as he nuzzled closer to Harry, rubbing the top of his head against him. âI think Finny has really missed his dad. Look at him.â She really wished she knew where her phone was right now so she could take a video, but she didnât want to disturb Finn by moving to grab Harryâs. So, she just enjoyed the moment.
  Harry couldnât keep from smiling, not when Finn was nuzzling up to him the way that he was. âI think soâŠI missed my Finny, too,â Harry spoke as if Finn understood, moving his pets up to his chest, âGonna be a cuddle-filled day, yeah?â
  Lily loved seeing Harry so happy and couldnât keep herself from leaning over Finn to place a kiss to his forehead. Someday this would be them with their child between them and just the thought made Lilyâs heart melt.
  Harry looked to Lily with a smile before pouting his lips for one more kiss, Finn still between them. The morning had been incredible already and it only had Harry wishing all mornings could be like this.
  Lily gave Harry a proper kiss, but Finn was not having it. She felt his paw on her chin and pulled back to find him trying to bat her away. âExcuse me?â she giggled. âCan we not share him?â
  Harry was surprised at first, but it quickly turned into a laugh watching Finn push Lily away. âFinny!â he playfully scolded with a chuckle before looking to Lily. âSorry, babe⊠guess Iâm all Finnâs today,â he teased.
  Lily sighed. âYou were all mine yesterday, so I guess itâs fair,â she allowed, a playful smile on her lips. âLittle stinker.â
  âThat was funny, Finny.â Harry smiled down at him. But soon, Finn was nibbling at Harryâs hands instead of enjoying the pets like he had been. âFinally time for breakfast?â
  âI think so or it looks like dad might become breakfast,â Lily raised her brows at Harry. She carefully climbed out of bed and gave a good stretch before going to find her robe. She needed to take a proper shower after so much time lying in bed, but that could wait until after breakfast. âCome on, Finny. Letâs eat,â She called, tying her robe around her as she made her way out of the room.
  âI wouldnât be very tasty, Finny.â Harry playfully warned before getting out of bed, Finn following right behind Lily as she called him to the kitchen. Harry pulled on underwear, not taking much longer to join them and find Finn waiting at his bowl.
  Lily scooped out food for Finn and placed it in his bowl, giving him a little scratch on the head before standing to put the scoop away. Then it was time for their own breakfast. âWhat do you say to some music while we cook?â she asked Harry, getting down a bowl for the pancake batter.
  âOf course, darling.â Harry left briefly only to return with his phone. âAny special requests or our usual playlist?â He asked, and while he waited, began to clear his things for school off of the table and place them out of the way.
  Lily shrugged once Harry returned, âWhatever youâre feeling.â She got to work on making the pancake batter and heating up the skillet.
  Harry put on their usual songs and set his phone on the counter. He grabbed what fruit they had so that he could cut it up. âWant help with the pancakes at all?â
  Lily looked over to Harry after pouring the first pancake. âWould you mind flipping them? Youâre always better than me,â she smiled sheepishly.
  Harry looked to Lily in between cutting fruit and smiled. âNonsense, lovey! I think you do them perfectly,â he told her with a grin, but as soon as it was time to flip the first pancake, he was standing over in front of the stove to do so.
  Lily smiled when Harry was next to her and moved to the side so he could flip it. Of course, heâd do it despite his brushing off of her compliment. While he did that, she started their coffee.
  Harry took over the pancakes once the fruit was all cut up, grabbing plates for them in the meantime. âAnything you wanted to do today, lovey, or just cuddles at home?â Harry was completely okay with the latter, but didnât know if Lily had anything in mind.
  Lily took the bowl of cut up fruit and placed it on the kitchen table before returning to wash the knife and cutting board Harry had used. She paused at his question and looked at him in slight disbelief. âWaitâŠyouâre really taking the day off?â she asked. âCan you?â She figured he still had assignments due tonight that he needed to get done.
  Harry looked over to Lily. He shouldâve known she was going to be surprised at the mention of a free day, but it didnât occur to him. He just knew that he told Lily he was going to make more time for them, and he was sticking to that. âIf thatâs okay with you, yeah?â he looked down to flip a pancake. âI usually work ahead, soâŠeverything due by the end of the weekend, or tonight I guess, Iâve got finished already.â
  An elated smile took over Lilyâs face and she wrapped her arms around him, squeezing him tightly from behind. âOh, Harry. Iâd absolutely love that.â Sure, sheâd believed that he would keep his promise to make more time for them, but she hadnât expected a whole day with her lovey so soon.
  Harry smiled bigger at Lilyâs reaction. All he ever wanted was to make her happy. âI told you I was going to make more time for my lovey, didnât I?â he teased with a grin, reaching for the plates with her arms still around him and giving them each a few pancakes.
  Lily scattered five quick kisses across the back of his shoulders. âI just didnât expect it so soon,â she confessed. She loosened her grip on him as she stepped back and held his hips for a few moments. Then she moved to get the butter and syrup to place on the table for them.
  Harry nodded and turned off the stove once he was finished, grabbing both plates. âI make things happen, baby,â he spoke with a smile as he walked over to the table, setting the plates and silverware down. âThanks for suggesting breakfast, lovey. We needed this.â
  Lily filled up their favorite mugs which were thankfully clean and carried them over, setting Harryâs down in front of him and giving him a quick kiss. âAgreed.â She went to sit across from him. âThank you for taking over the pancakes.â She scraped off some butter to spread over her pancakes and then held the knife out to Harry.
  Harry kissed Lily before sitting down, taking the knife from her. âNo problem, darling. You make the best coffee anyways,â he smiled softly, putting some butter and syrup on his pancakes before taking a bite.
  âIâve had lots of practice,â Lily laughed softly. She borrowed the syrup after Harry, not putting on too much, and then dug in. The fruit on the side was a brilliant idea and she took little pieces between every few bites of pancakes. âWhat would you like to do? Youâre the one thatâs mostly been trapped at work and home.â
  Harry smiled and thought about Lilyâs question as he took more bites. He didnât realize just how hungry he was, but they had spent a long while in bed. âWell⊠Iâd like to shower. I donât know, Iâm fine with cuddling and relaxing,â he gave a little shrug and looked down. âThink itâs too cold for a walk or something?â
  Lily nodded, âI need a shower as well.â She glanced toward the window as she took a sip of coffee. âWe could bundle up and take a short walk at the park. Then come back and cuddle under blankets.â
  Harry nodded looking at Lily. âWe could do that if youâre up to it.â The cold was neither one of their favorites, but they had been stuck in the house a lot lately.
  As long as Lily had plenty of layers on and was close to Harryâs side, sheâd be fine. She made quick work of her pancakes and then nibbled on bits and pieces of fruit.
  Harry worked on the fruit with Lily until it was gone and then he was left with just his coffee, taking sips while he piled their empty dishes. âIâll take care of all this when we get back later, love,â he told Lily, picking up the dishes to put in the sink.
  Lily shook her head and mumbled an âMm-Mmâ around her mouthful of coffee. âWeâll do it together,â she insisted. It honestly would take no time at all since all they needed to clean were their plates, the two bowls, and the skillet. Lily could wash and Harry could dry or vice versa.
  Harry thought Lily might protest, causing him to look at her with a slight pout once he set the dishes in the sink. âLilyyyyy⊠I just want to shower with you,â he whined.
  Lily laughed at his ridiculous reaction as well as his clear misunderstanding. âI meant later. I am more than ready for a shower with you,â she assured him. She stood up with their empty mugs and placed them into the sink, then leaned over and kissed his pout.
  âOh.â Harry laughed, that pout immediately going away once he got his kiss. âCome on then,â he took both of Lilyâs hands once they were unoccupied, leading her towards their bathroom. He only let go so he could start the water and grab towels for both of them.
  Lily laughed even more as he eagerly took her to the bathroom. âBabesâŠwe took a shower last night together. Why are we so much more eager this morning?â she asked, just watching him prep everything.
  Harry was fully focused on getting the water temperature perfect for Lily, but laughed at the question. âI donât have a real reason. I got a good nightâs sleep. I have a lot of energy now,â he looked back over as he tested the water once more, âPlus I love showering with you. Itâs one of my favorites.â
  Lily leaned against the counter, arms lightly crossed over her chest and brows raised slightly. âLots of energy, huh.â Sheâd be lying if she said she wasnât happy to hear that, though, after months of Harry looking so drained and exhausted. Her features softened and she smiled back at him. âItâs one of my favorites, too.â
  Harry stood up straight once he got everything ready and turned to Lily with a smile. He took a few steps closer and gently tapped the tip of her nose with his finger. âThe shower is ready for you, my love.â
  Lily scrunched up her nose and then stood up, eyes still on Harry as she undid the tie on her robe and then let it fall from her shoulders. She hung it up on the back of the door and then slipped into the shower.
  Of course, Harry watched it all; even after all this time being together, he was never able to resist looking Lily up and down when she was in front of him like that, or even when she was clothed, or in her comfiest pajamas. He was not ashamed to say heâd check her out any opportunity he got. He redirected himself, sliding his boxers off and stepping into the shower after her.
  Lily stepped under the water and turned to face Harry as he joined her, head tilted back to wet her hair. She just smiled at the sight of him and had no shame in looking him up and down as well.
  Harry stood aside while Lily took her turn under the water, grinning as he watched her gaze. âHey⊠you canât check me out, Iâm checking you out,â he joked with a smile, pushing his hair out of his face.
  âBut why canât we do it at the same time?â Lily asked, ringing her hair out before she stepped out of the way so Harry could get under the water.
  Harry switched spots with Lily and ran his hands through his hair to get it wet. It always felt good to have his shower in the morning. âJust joking,â he admitted with a soft smile.
  Lily shouldâve been putting shampoo in her hair but that was an impossible task when Harry was showering like that. His arm muscles flexed as his fingers ran through his wet curls. Water racing down his tattooed torso.
  Harry peeked at Lily, one eye open with a cheeky grin on his lips as he saw her staring back at him. âAm I putting on a good enough show?â He smiled, reaching for Lilyâs body wash.
  Lily merely nodded at first, not embarrassed at having been caught. âI know we just showered together last night and bathed each other, butâŠitâs been a while since Iâve gotten to really watch you.â It was no secret that she was obsessed with Harryâs body, every inch of it. And this was the perfect opportunity to admire all of it and in an even sexier setting.
  Harry nodded. They were as obsessed with each other as they were when they first got together. âIt has, yeah. Well⊠would it be okay if you did that while I bathed you again?â he asked, holding the bottle up.
  Lily glanced to the bottle and then back to Harry. âPlease tell me thereâll be more than just bathing,â she requested quite bluntly. Theyâd been together for years; there was no reason to beat around the bush.
  Harryâs brows raised a little but he was more than happy to go along with Lilyâs request, always wanting more of her, too. He took steps closer to her and leaned down so their lips were brushing, a small smile on his own. âOr⊠I could skip the bathing for now.â
  Lily tilted her head up to meet Harry halfway and her hands came up to rest on his biceps, running over the bulky muscle he worked so hard for. âThatâs a good idea, too,â she nodded slightly. âWeâve got all day to bathe.â
  Lilyâs answer had him smiling a bit. âI like the sound of that better.â He looked away only for a moment to set the body wash back down, seeing as how they wouldnât be needing it anytime soon. Then he was standing back up in front of Lily, connecting their lips easily and resting his hands at her waist.
  Lily let out a soft moan when Harryâs lips found hers and her hands slid up until her arms wrapped around his neck, bringing her body close to his. Being naked and being pressed against Harry was one thing, but being wet added a whole new layer of hot to it.
  Harry leaned down to meet Lily in the middle for their kisses. His hands held her hips, guiding her back until she was pressed between his body and the wall. It was always so effortless for them to fall back into their rhythm and to know exactly what the other needed.
  Lily inhaled sharply when her back hit the cool tile and she arched further into Harry. One of her hands tangled into his curls while the other ran back down his neck to his chest. Meanwhile Lilyâs hips had a mind of their own as they gently rolled forward.
  Harry pressed himself against Lily, feeling the roll of her hips and not hesitating to reciprocate the movement. His hands sprawled along Lilyâs sides and his lips were parted as he left kisses all across her jaw.
  While last night might have been dragged out and slow as they eased back into being intimate with each other again, that was definitely not the case now. Lily tilted her head back against the wall, already breathing a little heavier. Her hips continued to roll towards Harryâs, a little more desperately now.
  Harry focused on all of Lilyâs sweet spots as their hips rolled in sync. He had quickly gotten hard and although it was more difficult to tell being in the shower where everything was wet, it appeared Lily was warmed up as well. âDo you want any foreplay, love?â He pulled away just enough to get the question out, but couldnât go long enough to wait for an answer before kissing her mouth again.
  Lily opened her mouth to respond, but it was quickly occupied by Harryâs. He clearly wasnât going to part from her long enough for her to say anything and Lily didnât really want him to. So, instead she answered him by sliding her leg up and hooking it around his hip. Hopefully that was enough to answer his question.
  Harry quickly caught onto Lilyâs alternative way to respond, so glad because he was so eager. He pulled away to look down and line themselves up; his head nuzzled into her neck, lips parted, and his hand on her leg to keep it supported around his waist. He shifted his hips forward to slide into her when they were both ready, his mouth dropping in a silent moan.
  Lily rested her head on top of Harryâs, feeling his warm breath on her chest with every pant. Her grip on his hair tightened when he finally slid in, a bit easier than he had the night prior, and she moaned with no restraint. The shower would at least cover up some of their noises. âSo good,â she breathed out.
  The feeling of Lily around Harry and her fingers in his hair had him moaning. He picked his head up only to rest his forehead close to hers, wanting to be able to see not only them moving together but Lilyâs expressions, too. âSo good, darling,â he repeated in a moan, staying still for a moment when he filled her completely.
  Lily caught his lips for another heated kiss, not able to get enough of him. âWould it be easier if both of my legs were around you?â she breathed. With their height difference, the angle wasnât their usual, but it felt good all the same.
  Harry kissed her, his breathing already having picked up due to the pleasure. âWe can do that, yeah.â Reluctantly, Harry was pulling out of Lily but only so he could pick her up, his hands at her sides to lift her, âLet me know once youâre comfortable.â
  Lily moved her arms back around Harryâs neck to help support her as she jumped a little, wrapping her other leg around Harry with his help. Once she was situated, she nodded. âAll good.â She also kinda liked that the height difference was now reversed.
  Harry supported Lily, both hands underneath her thighs while she got comfortable. âGood,â he smiled. He gave her one more kiss before reaching between them to align themselves again, but let Lily control it more now that she was in a position that allowed her to.
  Once Lily felt Harryâs tip inside of her, she rolled her hips down to take more of him in. âOh yeah, much better,â she laughed breathlessly. She didnât hesitate to lift herself back up and roll down again, slowly setting up a pace for them.
  Harry laughed with her, but that soon was overwhelmed by the pleasure Lily gave him once she started moving. He helped to lift Lily each time, unable to take his gaze off of her as she moved so perfectly on top of him.
  Lily once again tilted her head back against the tile, a satisfied smile on her face at the pleasure. Add on the way their bodies slid so effortlessly against each other.
  Harry took over again and began to thrust his hips upward into Lily, willing to do anything to keep that satisfied expression on her face. Moans of Lilyâs name were frequently leaving his mouth, fingertips pressing into her bum and thighs as he held her up.
  Lily opened her eyes and looked down at Harry at the sound of her name, her smile growing even wider. And that knot in her stomach growing tighter at the sight of him in so much pleasure.
  Between their quickened pace and how good Lily was making him feel, Harry could tell he was getting closer. He pressed his chest against Lilyâs while thrusting upwards, his head on her shoulder when he wasnât pressing kisses to her jaw.
  âFuck, babes, you look so hot,â Lily breathed. She thought he was the sexiest thing in the world when they were together like this. All of his muscles tensing with each thrust, his beautiful lips parted, and that little crinkle between his eyebrows.
  Harry lifted his head to look at Lily. He was grinning at the compliment, panting still and face in complete pleasure. âMe? Wish you could see yourself.â How she looked on top of him and held onto him, that pleasured smile that was very apparent this time around. Not to mention her moans and whines, which could easily do him in if heâd let them.
  Of course, he wouldnât just accept the compliment, but Lily wasnât about to argue. She just shook her head with a smile and pressed her forehead to his. It was getting harder to talk anyways, let alone come up with a comeback, when she was this deep in pleasure. Just a change in the angle of her hips had her clit getting some much-needed attention and that about did it for her, a whine ripping up her throat.
  Harry smiled, knowing Lily wouldâve pressed the compliment further if they both werenât mere seconds away from their orgasms. He watched Lily suddenly reach hers and the loud whine alone was enough to push him over the edge, releasing into her. âLily. So good, darling,â he moaned, resting his forehead on her shoulder while he kept his hips moving.
  Lily gasped loudly at the feel of Harry releasing on top of her own orgasm. Her hips bucked more than rolled as she rode it out. She couldnât speak until she had started to come down. âShit. I didnât mean to let go so suddenly.â Normally she had more control than that.
  Harry slowly decreased the friction on her clit so that they could come down gradually. His brows were knit, cheeks rosy, and breathing heavy. âThatâs okay, babes. It was so hot. Youâre so hot,â his eyes closed as his head rested against her, knowing he needed to cool down.
  Lily giggled softly and reached up to gently brush back his wet curls before placing a kiss to his forehead. âRight back at you, my love,â she murmured, lips still brushing his skin.
  Harry lifted his head for a brief kiss, slowly moving one hand from underneath her thigh to rest behind Lily on the wall. âThat was fun,â he smiled, looking at her.
  Lily returned the kiss and then rested her head back, smiling softly down at Harry and gently scratching his scalp. âGlad I postponed bathing then?â she teased playfully before nodding. âBut it was. I like when weâre desperate and greedy sometimes.â
  Harry smiled, leaning against her. âVery glad,â he easily admitted with a nod. âAnd tired now,â he laughed a little, leaning his head against his arm.
  Lily laughed softly. âHow about you put me down and we switch this to a bath?â she offered. They could still bathe each other, just while sitting.
  Harry nodded. âI like that idea.â He stood up straighter and slowly let Lily down, keeping a hold on her while she got her footing on the shower floor.
  Lily lifted herself up using what strength she had left in her thighs so Harry slipped out and then she lowered her legs to the shower floor. Once she was settled, she reached around Harry to change the water from the shower head to the faucet and then plugged the tub. âWeâre definitely using a lot more water this morning than usual,â she joked.
  Harry lightly held her hips as she turned to switch the settings to the tub, laughing. âYeahâŠonly downside to this,â he grinned, âAt least we donât use this much water often, though.â Harry sat once the tub was filled with water and reached for Lilyâs hands.
  Lily grabbed the shampoo and set it on the corner of the tub before taking Harryâs hands and carefully sitting. âOkay, babes. You first or me?â
  âI can do you first,â Harry decided with a soft smile. He shifted so that he was sitting back on his heels instead, making it easier to reach Lily. âHair first, darling?â he asked, reaching for the shampoo she set on the edge.
  âYes, please,â she asked sweetly. She moved so that it could be as easy on Harry as possible and tilted her head back so shampoo wouldnât get in her eyes.
  Harry squirted some of the shampoo into his hands, moving so that he was slightly above Lily so that he could see and get to all of her hair. He began to gently massage it in. He loved when he could dote on her like this. âMaybe I could take you out to dinner some night this week?â
  Lily hummed softly at the feel of his fingers in her hair, always obsessed with it no matter the situation. âOh yeah?â she asked softly. âWhere would you like to go?â
  Harry spent plenty of time making sure he covered every inch of Lilyâs hair and then gently moved her so he could wash out the shampoo without getting it in her eyes. âHm, Iâm not sure yet. How about your favorite?â He suggested, fingers brushing her hair away from her face once he was done, âIâd like to treat you.â
  âThe French place?â Lily asked excitedly. They hadnât had their food since they ordered it for their anniversary. âTreat ourselves to some French desserts.â She believed that they both deserved to be treated after the last couple months.
  Harry nodded, reaching over for Lilyâs body wash and loofah. âYeah, babe. I think that would be really fun,â he smiled, squeezing some body wash out onto the loofah.
  Lily lifted her head and did her best to move her hair out of the way for him so he could get her back. âIâd love that,â she smiled. Lily enjoyed any opportunity to go on a date with Harry.
  âMe too. Weâll see what day works best then,â Harry smiled softly, washing along her arms and back first before moving around to the rest of her body.
  Lily let Harry do with her body as he pleased and waited until he was done to at least rinse off her front as best she could. âYour turn now!â she grinned, eagerly reaching for the shampoo.
  Harry helped to rinse off Lilyâs back and waited until she was ready for his turn, leaning back on a hand so that he was lower for her to reach. âSomeoneâs excited,â he smiled. He definitely was, always enjoying her fingers in his hair.
  âYou know Iâll take any excuse to have my hands in your hair,â Lily laughed as she rubbed her hands together. Then they were completely buried in Harryâs curls as she worked the shampoo through his locks.
  Harry laughed, looking down as Lily began. âIâm more than okay with that,â he told her with a grin. Finally getting a chance to dote on each other like this, he never wanted the day to end.
  She massaged his scalp as she sudsed up his hair. Then she was careful as she rinsed it out, using a hand to block the water from getting into his face like you would a baby. She was thorough, though, in making sure she got it all out.
  Harry tilted his head as well to keep it out of his face, but appreciated Lilyâs hand covering him, finding it adorable as well. âThank you,â he smiled softly, leaning towards Lily to rest his head on her shoulder.
  Lily pressed a kiss to his temple and lazily draped her arms around him. âYouâre welcome,â she smiled happily.
  Harry was perfectly content all cuddled up to Lily, resting a hand along her arm that was around him. âCan I tell you a secret?â he asked.
  âHmm?â Lily hummed softly. Though she had a feeling she probably knew the secret. She knew Harry too well for there to be any secrets between them. If anything, it was probably going to be something super cheesy.
  Harry looked at Lily from where he was leaning against her. âI donât really feel like taking a walk anymore,â he whispered with a forming smile. Not much of a secret. He was way too cozy and needy that day.
  Lilyâs head fell back with a laugh. She couldnât help it. Not that she was surprised by Harryâs statement, it was just amusing in the way he told her. âWe donât have to go for a walk,â she shook her head and rubbed his shoulder reassuringly.
  Harry smiled at Lily, loving when she laughed loud like that. Even her touch on his shoulder was comforting. âReallyyy?â He grinned softly. He didnât want to move, either, but knew them staying in these positions couldnât last the whole day.
  âI mean, we canât stay in the bath all day, because the water is going to get cold and weâll be prunesâŠâ Lily joked, but then nodded. âWe can do whatever you want, love.â
  âPrunes,â Harry laughed and sat up from Lily a bit, leaning on his hand. âI donât know about you, but I definitely need some really good cuddles today, and perhaps a movie.â
  âI think weâre both a little slap happy,â Lily giggled. When Harry sat up, she reached up to move a wet curl from the side of his face that was stuck there. âCuddles and movies sound lovely.â
  âWell, it appears I like being slap happy with you,â he reached a hand up to gently boop her nose. âLetâs finish up here then and we can move to get comfortable somewhere else.â
  Lily lifted her chin so that her nose met his finger halfway. âMe, too.â She moved her arms from around him and looked around for the body wash. âDo you need me to soap you up?â
  Harry was closer to the body wash so he reached over and grabbed it. âI can do it if you donât want,â he spoke and opened up the lid to the bottle.
  Lily dropped her jaw a little. âDonât want to? HarryâŠthink about this, darling.â Missing an opportunity to run something over Harryâs body? Lily would never.
  Harry couldnât help but smile at her reaction, laughing a little and setting the body wash aside before he covered his cheeks with his hands. âLoveyâŠyouâre gonna make me blush,â he grinned.
  Lily leaned in and stole a quick kiss and then turned her attention to putting body wash on the loofah. âGoodness. Didnât realize weâd gotten that bad,â she teased before starting on his shoulders and chest.
  He kissed her and dropped his hands so she could reach everywhere that she needed. âWeâre really cute though,â he spoke, eyes on Lily as she washed him.
  Lily washed what she could reach with the water. âWe are pretty damn cute.â She had missed this with everything in her being and she was so glad to have it back. This was their normal, not going hours without speaking.
  âSuper cute.â Once Harry was all washed up, he moved carefully to rinse off and put the bottles back where they were as well. âFinished up, lovey? Iâll drain the water.â
  Lily nodded and rinsed out the loofah before hanging it up. Then she was carefully climbing out of the tub so she didnât drip everywhere before she could get her towel and dry off.
  Harry stood and drained the tub before stepping out. He grabbed a towel, wrapping it around his waist after he dried off the rest of his body. âWhere are these cuddles happening?â
  Lily dried off her body and then wrapped up her hair. âCouch?â she suggested as she headed to the bedroom for comfy clothes. âCan stretch out and I can lay back on your chest,â she offered. âOr however you want to cuddle.â Instead of bothering with a shirt, she just pulled the same hoodie from yesterday on with some thick leggings to keep her warm. And of course, fuzzy socks. So sexy.
  Harry cleaned up the bathroom a bit before heading to their room. âThatâs fine, yeah.â He smiled softly, getting rid of his towel and pulling on boxers. He thought about putting on a hoodie as well, but knew heâd be warm between Lily and all her warm comfy clothes against him and all the blankets theyâd have, so he waited on that for now. He went out to the living room and grabbed a couple blankets, laying them out on the couch.
  âBabesâŠâ Lily began as she followed him out to the living room. âHave you even tried your silk boxers yet?â Theyâd both been so excited about them and then theyâd gotten busy and had forgotten. Or at least Lily had.
  Harry was just laying down a second blanket when he heard Lily, turning around to look at her. âOh, babes! Iâm so sorry, itâs been so busy since then,â he apologized. Harry was genuinely excited about those boxers, but so much had gone on since Christmas that both of them forgot. âCan try them on today?â
  Lily smiled gently at him and shrugged. âYou donât have to. I just thought of it, is all.â They probably werenât very warm and would be comfier in the summer to keep him cool. Granted Harry always ran much warmer than Lily.
  Harry looked at Lily for a moment, hands at his waist. âYou wait right here,â he gave her a grin as he passed by walking back to their room. He exchanged the pair of boxers that he had on for the silk pair, smiling big as he stood in the doorway with them on. âWhat do you think?â
  âHarryyy!â Lily playfully chided as he passed her. But she sat down anyways and waited, not exactly sure what to expect. Sheâd be ready to jump his bones again if he didnât have that adorable smile on his face. âOh babesâŠâ she smiled back at him. âI like them! I always think you look sexy in black. What do you think?â
  Harry took a few steps further into the living room, ready to show off her gift that he shouldâve tried on ages ago. âI really, really like them, babes. Theyâre so comfy,â he answered, looking down at the boxers. He hadnât even looked in the mirror at himself yet. He turned around and looked at Lily over his shoulder, always playful, âHowâs the bum look?â
  âOh, the shiny fabric definitely accents your peachy bum,â Lily nodded, giving him the okay sign with her fingers. She giggled softly and then held her arms out towards him. âNow get that silk covered bum over here.â
  Harry laughed, appreciative of the fact that Lily always played along with him. He walked over to stand in front of Lily and took her hands. âMy girl gets bossy when the silk undies come out,â he grinned and laced their fingers.
  Lily playfully rolled her eyes. âI was promised cuddles,â she replied simply, giving his hands a gentle tug.
  Harry was still grinning and made a surprised face when he saw Lily. âDonât you roll your eyes at me,â he teased and laid down on the couch, letting go of one of her hands to pat his chest, âNeed you right here.â
  Lily grinned at his pat and eagerly, but carefully, moved to sit between his legs so she could lay back on his chest. Then she pulled the last blanket over their legs.
  Harry made room for Lily to lay down, reaching for the remote while she fixed the blankets. âComfortable, love?â he asked, gently combing his fingers through her hair.
  Lily snuggled back into his chest by literally wiggling back and forth until her head found a comfortable spot. Then she nodded, âMhm!â
  Harry smiled amusedly watching Lilyâs method of getting comfortable, then wrapped an arm around her waist. âGood,â he told her softly. They looked for a movie for a while before settling on one, and both of his arms were around Lily then once the remote was set down.
  Lily rested her arms on top of Harryâs and tangled their fingers together. She was insanely cozy with Harry holding her. âThis was a good idea, babes. Much better than the walk.â
  Harry laid his head back on one of the pillows, rubbing his thumbs slowly along whatever part of her hands he could reach. âWeâll go for a walk when itâs warmer out,â he promised and smiled, giving her hands a squeeze.
  âAnd have a picnic in the park,â Lily added softly. They both clearly missed getting out of the house and just doing simple things together.
  âDefinitely. Havenât done that in a while,â he agreed, shifting slightly so that he could kiss the top of her head. âItâll be warm soon enough. Then someoneâs having a weddingâŠI forget whoâŠâ he joked, grinning with his head against Lilyâs gently.
  Lily pressed her lips together. âMmâŠthe save the date is on the fridge,â she played along. âBut weâve been invited to so many, itâs hard to remember.â
  âRight? I donât knowâŠitâll come to me eventually,â Harry shook his head slowly with a dramatic sigh. In all seriousness, Harry couldnât believe their big day was finally approaching; he couldnât wait to be married to Lily.
  Lily giggled quietly to herself at their ridiculousness. She was beyond relaxed after their hot bath (and even hotter shower sex). Then add on Harryâs cozy hoodie, all the blankets, and him snuggling her so well. âDonât be mad if I fall asleep, okay?â she asked quietly.
  Harry kept ahold of her hands in one of his own, using the other to slowly rub along her side underneath the hoodie. âWonât be at all. I could fall asleep, too, honestly,â he returned softly.
  Lily gently nuzzled her head against him. âI have no reason to since we slept so good and slept in, butâŠyouâre just so comfy.â Sometimes there were negatives to being such good cuddlers.
  âAnd warm, my little heater,â Harry smiled softly. They already had a busy morning, and getting to spend this day with Lily was so much more than he could ask for with how things had been going recently. âJust catching up on our sleep, is all. I think thatâs a good reason.â
  Lily gave his hand a squeeze, âYouâre the heater.â After all, he was the one perfectly content in just silk boxers. She fiddled with the rings on his fingers, lips pressed together. âBut I donât want to waste our time together sleeping.â
  Harry smiled. There was so much heat between themselves, their pile of blankets, and comfy clothes. âOkay, darling. We donât have toâŠbut still wouldnât hold it against you if you did,â he gave a soft grin, rubbing along her side.
  Lily wasnât about to tell him that his rubbing would be what did her in, because she didnât want him to stop. Now that she had her Harry back, she was soaking up every little thing.
  Harry traced gently along her skin, always needing to have some sort of touch on her and that hadnât changed after all those months where he wasnât able to as often. They were quiet for a bit, Harry knew they were both sleepy and in need of cuddles, so he turned his head to watch some of the movie they had put on the tv.
  Lily had watched plenty of movies and tv shows by herself or with Finn the last couple months. It was no secret that she preferred doing it with Harry; even if they didnât actually watch the movie.
  Harry didnât usually watch too much tv, but there was just something that he loved about relaxing back with Lily while they watched something. It was their time with, usually, no disruptions. âWonder where Finny is,â Harry smiled a bit, his head against Lilyâs.
  Lily didnât move her head, but glanced around. âIâm not sureâŠI havenât seen him since breakfast.â Even in their apartment, Finn managed to find places to hide, fitting into smaller spaces than expected.
  âLikely taking his post-breakfast nap somewhere,â Harry smiled. He didnât see him either, but surely Finn would join them if heâd wake up and find them snuggled up on the couch; he couldnât resist.
  âWhat if he comes and tries to steal you from me again?â Lily asked, playfully pouting out her bottom lip some. She still couldnât believe he had pushed her away this morning.
  Harry laughed, remembering this morning. âI still canât believe he did that,â he told Lily with a grin and shook his head a couple times. âI donât know, darlingâŠnot much I could do in that situation. He loves dad.â
  Lily dropped her jaw slightly now. âBut I love you, too!â she argued. It seemed that she was more in need of Harryâs attention than Finn was. She couldnât just curl up and sleep on his lap while he worked like Finn could.
  âAnd I love you. Iâm giving you all my attention now, yeah? Finnâs missing out big timeâŠâ Harry smiled down at Lily, using one of his hands to brush her hair back.
  Lily nuzzled him once more. If she could curl further into him, she would. âYou are and Iâm absolutely loving it up. Soaking up all I can,â she murmured. âIâve missed my lovey.â
  âIâve missed you. Gonna try and have lots more of these kinds of days now.â Harry would still have his work to do, but his prioritization of it would certainly be different from what it had been. He couldnât believe he let it go on for so long like that.
  âI appreciate you trying. I really do.â Lily had never wanted to ask him for more time and make him feel even more guilty than he did. That wouldnât have made her feel any better.
  âIt is the least I can do, darling.â Harry smiled softly, pressing another kiss to her head before laying his back down. âWant my lovey to be sooo happy.â
  Lily smiled softly at the kiss. âWell, I am sooooo happy right now. Over the moon really.â That was the thing; it really didnât take much to make either of them happy which made it more astounding theyâd gotten so bad.
  âReally, darling? Well, that makes me sooooo happy.â Harry smiled, never afraid to get a little cheesy if that meant Lily was smiling, too. âHow is it that we never actually end up watching the movie when weâre together?â He grinned, playing with the ends of her hair, âI seriously have been trying to pay attention to it, too.â
  Lily laughed softly at that. âWe watched like a solid twenty minutes of the beginning, though,â she pointed out. Granted sheâd been trying not to fall asleep during that time because of how comfy she was.
  âThat is true. I do think we get credit there,â Harry laughed. It really didnât matter whether they watched the movies or not, he just enjoyed his time with Lily.
  Suddenly Lily heard a soft, curious meow and lifted her head to find Finn next to the couch by their feet. âWell, hello, Mister Finnegan. Where did you come from?â she asked curiously.
  âFinally awake,â Harry smiled at the sight of Finn, who gave a big yawn and stretch before jumping up onto the couch with his parents. Finn looked for a comfy place to get settled, walking up and down their bodies.
  Lily groaned a little when Finn stepped on her lower stomach. âFinny,â she whined. âThe whole thing is comfortable. Lay down.â She just shook her head at him with a light laugh.
  Harry laughed. Finn was taking an incredibly long time finding a spot but eventually he laid near their legs, still on the blankets of course. âHeâs so spoiled,â Harry smiled softly, lacing his fingers as he held Lily.
  Lily finally relaxed whenever Finn found a spot. âWe may have created a small monster,â she laughed lightly. Thankfully though Finny wasnât that bad.
  âWho knows⊠maybe he was this spoiled even before we adopted him,â Harry teased with a bit of a smile, moving his leg just the slightest so that Finn could have more room.
  With those big sapphire eyes, I bet the shelter workers had no choice but to give him snuggles and treats,â Lily suggested. They obviously couldnât resist him once they saw them.
  âYouâre right⊠I suppose it was a collaborative effort spoiling this little guy,â Harry suggested. It was impossible to not spoil Finn when all he wanted was cuddles and was no trouble otherwise.
  Theyâd definitely lucked out with the kitten and couldnât have asked for a better fit. âStill wanna know where he was hiding,â she chuckled amusedly.
  âIâm sure he has tons of hiding spots that we donât know about,â Harry laughed, glancing over at the tv. âIâve been meaning to ask, is there anything that needs to be done around the house today, darling? Iâve been slacking there as well.â
  Lily pursed her lips. âI did likeâŠmost of the laundry yesterday? But obviously you saw that I didnât put it all away,â she made a slight face as she thought back on yesterday. âAnd then dishes. Finnâs litter probably needs cleaned soon, but I havenât checked it this weekend.â
  âOkay.â Harry nodded. He knew there was lots that he could improve upon, and household chores were included in that. âIâll do the rest of the laundry then and change the litter if it needs. Might just get to the dishes after dinner tonight.â
  Lily tilted her head back a little to look at him. âCan we do it together? Feel like itâs less of a chore when we do it together.â Plus, thereâd be no way she could just sit around and let Harry do everything.
  Harry looked down at Lily. âIf you want to. Just wanna make it easier on you, lovey,â he gave a slight nod. âDid you want to get those things over with once the movieâs over?â
  Lily let out a mix between a groan and a hum. âWhat ifâŠwe get a reward for each chore we get done?â she looked at him hopefully.
  âYeah?â Harry smiled down at her. They could always be counted on to turn anything into a deal. âAnd what kind of reward? Or is that decided later on?â
  Lily pressed her lips together once more. âWellâŠI think laundry would get a fairly good-sized reward, because itâs quite the undertaking. But then again, the litter is just gross sooo.â
  âHm. Tough ones,â Harry hummed softly as he thought for a moment. âIâd say litter deserves a bigger reward, but thatâs just me.â That was the only thing neither of them really enjoyed about taking care of their Finn.
  Lily tilted her head to the side. âMakes sense. Especially with half the laundry already done,â she agreed. âSo, what should the reward be for changing the litter?â
  âHmm,â Harry began to think while looking at Lily. âI meanâŠhaving sex again is the most logical answer. Good reward for such hard, laborious work. Itâs the only thing I can think up, at least,â Harry answered playfully with a cheeky grin, of course. âI donât know, really. Did you have something in mind?â
  Lily laughed softly and shrugged playfully. âWell of course. Obviously,â she giggled. âNo, I didnât have anything in mind. Iâm open to whatever.â After all this time without, it wasnât like anything specifically was sticking out to her.
  âOkay,â Harry smiled, brushing strands of hair behind her ear. He thought they could settle on a reward when the time came to change the litter, and that was when the movie that they had on ended.

brand new follower, but I wanted to take part in the fairy tale celebration... the whole thing just seems so lovely and fun !.... đ· - scenario, Harry Potter has saved Y/N (outside of hogwarts, lives in an orphanage) from the chamber of secrets, and the aspect of tom riddle... the incident of which, revealed to y/n and the rest of the wizarding world that y/n isnt just a slytherin... shes the living heir, and is tom riddle's niece. food friend, and crush fred weasley finds her distraught.???
hi love, thank you so much for participating, and welcome to my blog!! i hope you find it a safe place to be. this idea is really very wonderful! do you mind if i consider writing a series about it? <3
-
It had been about five hours since the incident. Fog painted the night sky from the grounds of the courtyard to the top of the Astronomy Tower, where Y/N was currently slumped in shame and self-hatred.
Lukewarm tears slid down her face as she buried her head deeper into her hands, having flashbacks of herself, bleeding out on the stone floor while watching her friend of two years, Harry Potter, spar with a large and ugly snake. If it weren't for the scars that covered her body from head to toe, she would've believed it was a dream.
Every move she made seared the same pain her uncle and renowned psychopath, Tom Riddle, forced into her body the days that she was missing from Hogwarts.
As her sobs got a little more broken and her sniffling got a little louder, she had gotten so lost in her misery that she didn't even notice her tall ginger liking standing at the steps to the Tower.
"Y/N?" Her lunch buddy (and slight huge crush) Fred spit out, rushing over to the floor a few paces in front of him, where she lay weeping on the floor.
Y/N nodded, not able to hold back her cries, leaning into Fred's side, and nuzzling closer to his body as he wrapped his arm tighter around her.
They sat like that for hours. Fred felt the world crumble in his arms with each light tear that dampened his shirt. He tried his best to soothe her by rocking her back and forth, humming German lullabies that his older brothers used to sing to him when he had trouble falling asleep.
Eventually, Y/N grew a headache that emanated from her eyes to the back of her head. She sniffled before speaking. "I'm the Living Heir." She said quietly, letting a few more tears escape her eyes.
Fred continued stroking her hair with the most delicacy he had ever touched anyone. Not knowing what to say, he tilted her head to face him. Her eyes and lips were puffy, skin clear from the tears. He held her chin and laid his forehead on hers. Her heart raced as she watched him confidently move her body so it fit more comfortably in his.
He drew her lips closer until they were only breaths apart. She nodded slightly as he looked into her eyes with longing. Then, with the smallest motion Y/N had ever witnessed, he pressed his lips on hers, hugging them until she felt safe and warm again.
When they separated, Y/N buried her face in the crook of his neck, slightly embarrassed and frazzled, but the memory of Voldemort being her uncle haunted her mind.
"I promise I won't leave you alone in this. Okay?"
Y/N simply nodded, taking a deep breath as she found solace again in Fred's arms.

I walk into the Gryffindor Common Room passing Fred and George and feel a light tap on my bum. I jump a little and Fred winks at me covertly. I walk over to the couches blushing. Me and Fred have been dating for about 5 months secretly. We have a bet going to see who finds out first, my friends or his. He strongly believes he will win but Iâm firm in that Georgeâs smart enough to solve the case. I sit next to Hermione drinking the butterbeer next to me and stop seeing her looking at me accusingly. âWhat?â I ask and she shrugs. âJust Fred slapping your ass...â She mutters and I cough surprised at her accusation. âW-what?!â I ask and she chuckles. âYou two...â She mutters going back to her book.
George and Fred run back in grabbing me, Lee, Hermione, and a few others dragging us to their dorm. âYes?â Hermione finally asks and they hold up firewhiskey chanting happily with the other boys. Me and Hermione just laugh shaking our heads. âWhat y/n? Scared?â Fred asks and I chuckle. âNo. I just donât think anyone in here can handle their alcohol.â I explain and they scoff.
***
A few hours and a few drinks later I am proven correct by a bunch of drunk teenagers presented in front of me, and myself only a little tipsy. Fred and George are giggling with Lee. Hermione and Harry are cuddling under a blanket. And Iâm just watching this mess giggling. Fred moves over to me and I laugh as he lays his head on my thigh humming lightly. âLets- play truth or- dare.â He says hiccupping through his sentence. âYeah!â George slurs out and I laugh shaking my head.
A few rounds go by and Fred is still playing with my hands goofily. I keep pulling my hands from his chuckling and he finally whines putting his head in my stomach. âWhy wonât you hold my handâŠ.â He whines in my stomach and I look up to see the group isnât paying attention. I pull him up and kiss his temple. âDarling they donât know weâre dating...â I hum into his ear and he still whines reaching for my hand. I chuckle, finally giving in hiding our hands behind him. âOk Fred.â George says, catching our attention. âYou can either take a sip of the Veritaserum and confess your feelings about y/n⊠Or⊠Y/n has to sit on your lap for the rest of the game.â He tells him and my eyes widen. He gets up to grab the bottle but I swing my legs around him facing away from the group. âWell we know what y/n wanted...â George scoffs and I hold up a middle finger behind me making the group laugh. Fred smiles nuzzling his head against my neck as I do the same. âI love you...â He whispers in my ear and I perk up looking at him. He widens his eyes and starts stuttering. âI love you too...â I whisper in his ear and I can feel him smile against my neck.
An hour later everyone's asleep but me and Fred. Heâs whispering cute things in my ear as I giggle lightly and he nips at my neck making more giggles spring from my mouth. âYouâre so pretty⊠You should always have your hair like this.â He whispers quietly and I giggle playing with his shirt. âIt is always like this.â I reply and he smiles goofily. âEven better.â He mumbles. âGod you're hot⊠Are you single?â He says and I laugh shaking my head. âFreddie⊠Iâm your girlfriend...â I tell him and he smiles silently celebrating. I kiss him to stop his excited noises from waking everyone up and he immediately melts into my kiss closing his eyes softly. I move to his neck as he lightly moans pressing his lips against my skin to muffle it. I nip the side of his ear as he lightly groans against my skin. âDarling can we please leave? I canât handle this anymore⊠I need to touch you...â He whimpers into my ear and I chuckle. âAw⊠But we canât⊠They would notice...â I say. Heâs usually very dominant but in his tipsy state he is acting as if he was always a submissive partner. I want to see how long this will last before he decides to take the dominant role back.
He groans in my ear as I kiss his neck. âT-they wonât notice I p-promise...â He whimpers into my ear and I nod pouting a little. âBut you're all intoxicated⊠It would be taking advantage.â I tell him and his face is now red as he tries to keep his moans down. âI promise⊠Please let me touch you... and your drunk too!â He mumbles and I bite my lip. âOne, I'm buzzed. Two, we need to get you to bed before you get all horny.â I whisper, taking his hand. I get up walking him out and he follows.
We get into my room and I help him inside the bathroom. âStrip.â I say and he scoffs. âYou⊠donât tell me what to do.â He retorts falling a bit. âBut I do.â I say and he scoffs. I nod and walk over peeling his clothes as he whines. I kiss his cheek shoving him inside the shower once it warms up. When I try to walk out he whines louder. âWhat bubba?â I ask and he crosses his arms. âI want you..â He mumbles and I laugh. âFreddie⊠Youâre drunk Iâm not going to get naked with Drunk You.â I tell him and he pouts. âI wonât get handsy. I promise!â He tells me and I kiss his cheek softly. âI know⊠I just donât trust myself.â I tell him with a wink. âNo no no you canât say that and leaveeeeee.â He whines and I laugh. He pulls me and I yelp. I get immediately drenched and start laughing at the feeling. âFred!â I yell at him and he chuckles pulling me in for a kiss. âI shouldnât be in here...â I say chuckling and he laughs. âThe last time you said that you ended up giving in...â He hums with a giggle hiding behind his voice. I laugh nodding and he kisses me. The kisses are sloppy but still perfect as he tries his best to stand up. He keeps trying to get to my neck as I giggle trying my best not to give in but sadly my boyfriend is far too hot for that.
âGodric⊠I wish I could always hold you like this⊠No hiding⊠No stolen kisses⊠I donât have to smack your arse with people assuming the truth⊠I just want us to be known ya know? No girls flirting with me⊠No boys always chasing you⊠Just us...â He mumbles into my neck and I pull away smiling at him. âYou mean that?â I ask and he nods kissing me. âI love you y/nâŠâ He tells me and I kiss him jumping up to wrap my legs around his hips
***
The next day I wake up beside Fred who looks a mess. âFred...â I sing and he mumbles something digging his head into my chest which he was using as a pillow. âYou need to wake uppp.â I whisper in his ear and he mumbles again. âFreddie⊠What will get you up?â I ask and he raises his head a little squinting at me. âA potion to make this hangover go away...â He tells me and I nod getting up. He quickly tries to get me back but Iâm too quick and he groans. âWhat happened last night?â He asks after moments of silence. âNothing much⊠You were dared to either confess how you truly felt about me or I had to sit on your lap...â I tell him as I gather herbs from my drawers. âOh?â He asks sitting up. I nod and he watches as I make the potion. âWell⊠What did I do?â He asks and I laugh. I start to grind the herbs together as I pour in some oils. âYou were going to confess that you loooved me but I sat on your lap.â I tell him and he chuckles shyly. âYou were so handsy too. Couldnât keep your hands off of me.â I tell him and he gets up worried. âIâm so sorry. Did I make you uncomfortable. Godric, Iâm so sorry.â He tells me and I laugh shaking my head. âIt was cute. And you would always stop- usually when I had enough.â I tell him and he nods. âI drank way too much- and I am good at handling my drinks.â He tells me and I laugh. I finish the potion and motion for him to sit against the headboard.
I start to rub the solution on his temple. It glows for a second and disappears. I kiss him and he smiles against my lips, sighing contently. I nod in agreement and he kisses me again. âSo⊠Anything else?â He asks and I chuckle sitting on his lap. âNothing really⊠You were adorable.â I tell him choosing not to involve the drunk âI love youâ and his upset rant about wanting us to be public.
***
I walk into the party and Fred immediately locks eyes with me. He walks over and eyes my short skirt that barely covers my bum. âArenât you supposed to be a cute follow the rules girl?â He asks and I laugh. âWhy are you asking?â I ask him and he smirks. He moves me into a secluded area where you can only see inside at an angle lifting my chin. âY/n⊠That skirt is extremely inappropriate. I donât remember breaking any school rule⊠So why are you breaking mine?â He asks and I chuckle. I jump a little feeling him grip my thighs. âDarling. You need to listen to my rules.â He tells me as he massages my bum. âWell⊠I wanted to dress nice today.â I tell him and he picks me up wrapping my legs around him. I laugh looking around shocked at his boldness. âGodric I donât care I need you...â He mumbles kissing me passionately. I kiss him back and feel his tongue slip past my lips. He takes his time exploring my mouth as I moan to every movement.
âFreddie...â I mumble and he looks at me through his long hair smiling. âYes bunny?â He asks using the nickname he saves for special moments. âWe are going to get caught.â I tell him laughing and he nods sadly. âOne more kiss?â He asks pouting. I laugh nodding as he kisses me again. We take longer to separate and finally do, needing some form of oxygen. We laugh out of breath placing our foreheads together smiling goofily. âI love you Fred Weasley...â I mumble and he smiles. âI love you Y/n L/nâ He replies and we hear George nearby. He drops me and I pull out my wand apparating across the room. I see George catch Fred and he walks out flattening his button down.
I watch as George introduces Fred to a girl I know from my house. She always talks about a new boy every week. Annoys the hell out of me. I walk over to grab a drink. When I turn around I catch eyes with a familiar ginger. He smiles winking at me and George taps my shoulder. âY/n- Y/nnnn youâre staringggg.â He hums and I snap back. âHm?â I ask and he scoffs. âYou need to tell him how you feel.â He tells me and I laugh. âPlease. He doesnât like me like that.â I lie and he shakes his head. âIf you continue ignoring your feelings for him heâll get snatched up.â He tells me and I sigh. âThat girl? Fiona? She asked me to introduce her to him. She fancies him.â He tells me and I nod sighing.
A few drinks and dances later Iâm keeping my eyes on Fred as he talks with a few girls. A few guys have hit on me but I reject their advances. I see Fiona finally drag him to the dance floor and my blood boils seeing it. A few more minutes later a guy comes up to me smiling and Fredâs still dancing.
âEdward.â He tells me, holding out his hand. âThatâs a lovely name, am I to assume it's yours?â I ask with a small laugh. âSorry⊠That was a bit random huh?â He asks and I nod laughing lightly. âYou are⊠Beautiful by the way.â He tells me and I smile warmly. âThank you⊠If a boy this handsome thinks Iâm pretty, wow.â I say and he smiles a bit wider. âSo⊠Do you have a date hanging around?â He asks and I glance over at Fred and heâs staring directly at me cocking his head with his tongue in his cheek. âActually⊠I donât think so⊠There's this boy but heâs off dancing with a girl.â I tell him and he looks as if he witnessed a cosmic event. âWhy?! If I had you Iâd never even look at a girl.â He tells me and I laugh placing my hand on his knee. âYou are too kind.â I reply and he smiles at me.
I talk with Edward for a while and I hear Fred getting everyone's attention. âFor everyone's knowledge! Severus Snape has officially gotten what he deserved for those horrible grades.â He yells to the crowd and George stands up with him. âThanks to yours truly.â He says with a bow. âWhat did you do?!â A girl in the crowd asks and he snaps at her. âLetâs just say, heâll have the hiccups for a while.â Fred yells out and George nods laughing.
I look at Edward who is laughing his arse off. âThose two...â I say. I excuse myself and walk over. Fred looks at me challengingly. âYes?â He asks me and I scoff. âPranking a professor?!â I ask and he nods smiling. âBest prank yet.â He tells me and I scoff. âWhat the hell got into your mind to do that?!â I ask and he nods at Edward. âHow was your boyfriend?â He questions and I scoff. âYou hypocritical, jealous, bastard!â I tell him and he looks at me angrily. âDo I need to do graffiti? Do not try me. No cursing.â He tells me pointing at me and I scoff. âFuck. Damn. Shit. Pussy. Cunt. Dick.â I tell him and he shakes his head. âBedroom. Now. You better be stripped naked sitting like a princess when I get there.â He spits in my ear and I look at him angrily. âNo.â I say stomping my foot. âYou bratty little...â He mumbles and I stomp over to Edward. âLets dance.â I tell him, grabbing his hand. âO-Ok!â He replies as I drag him to the dance floor.
He holds my hips against his as I dance and I see Fred eyeing me angrily as Fiona fawns over him. We dance for a while as Edward grinds against me and we just move in sync. I look over and heâs walking over done with my teasing. He grabs my arm dragging me to a table pulling me up. âWhat- What are you doing Fred?!â I ask and he looks at me. âSir.â He corrects and I blush. He pulls me in and kisses me harshly in front of everyone. I pull away shocked and he smirks. I finally crash my lips into his as he holds my arse keeping me where I was. âI knew it!â I hear Hermione yell and we laugh continuing the kiss. âSir⊠I need you...â I whisper in his ear and he smiles.
We get to his dorm deep into a kiss as he shrugs his button down off quickly, mumbling the spells to silence and lock the door. âGet undressed. Now.â He growls and I nod. He sits on his chair rubbing up and down his cock as he watches me get undressed. I sit down between my legs looking at him through my eyelashes innocently. âGo on⊠Lay down.â He tells me and I follow his orders.
He moves each hand to tie them to the corners of the bed. âWhatâs the safe word my dear?â He asks with a hint of concern. âAvocadoo. Which I highly request we change. Its idiotic.â I tell him and he chuckles. âYou know the other idea...â He hums chuckling. âI will not ever say Mischief Managed during sex.â I tell him and he chuckles kissing me and slowly going down to my neck leaving small bruises all over my skin from his lips. I slowly turn my light demeanor to moans and begs as he massages my chest lightly kissing my shoulders. âYou were a bad girl today werenât you?â He asks and I nod biting my lip and he grabs my chin. âSo you know you were being bad.â He says sternly and my eyes widen shaking my head. âAnd⊠I broke zero rules⊠I think my bad girl needs punishment.â He tells me and I gasp lightly as he places a blindfold on my eyes but I feel his warm lips kissing me to calm me a little. âJust a blindfold darling...â He tells me and I nod.
I hear a vibrator and start moving my legs trying to get free until a slap against my bum tells me no. âGood girl...â He mumbles watching me calm. âNow continue being a good girl while I fuck you senseless.â He tells me and I feel him place the vibrator on my clit and I try fighting his hold moaning loudly at the extremely high setting. âNow⊠You are going to get this until I feel youâve learned your lesson. So my question is⊠What are you darling?â He asks and I donât listen. âWhat. Are. You?â He demands and I ignore him again only to earn him to raise the vibrator to its highest setting.
âIâm a slut!â I moan loudly and he laughs. âWhat are you?â He asks again and I moan begging him. âA slut!â I moan again and he holds my throat. âWhoâs slut? Edwards?â He asks and I shake my head. âIâm your slut!â I moan and he tightens his hold a little. âSay it again. 5 more times.â He tells me. Just as I begin moaning out the sentence again he shoves a gag in my mouth making me gasp. I try to say it through the gag and I almost finish when he plays loud music and I feel tears well up in my eyes. âPlease sir!â I moan and he ignores me either not hearing or not caring.
A few minutes later Iâve came twice, he finally turns off the music. âAre you my slut?â He asks and I nod. âCan you try one more time, my perfect toy?â He asks and I nod tired. He pulls off the vibrator cleaning it with a spell and removes my blindfold kissing my small tears from my cheeks untying the ties on my legs. âAre you sure? You could cause an earthquake with those legs⊠And you're really shaky.â He says cheekily and I chuckle leaning my head back. âYou have me in bed Weasley, I think you can stop flirting.â I tell him and he laughs kissing my neck as I moan still tired. âBut I love flirting with you...â He mumbles and I feel his legs go on either side of my hips. âOk. Last time: You are sure? Cause I can wank off on my own if youâre tired.â He asks and I laugh. âFreddie Iâm ok.â I tell him and he nods, kissing me softly. I feel him place a pillow under my hips aligning himself with my entrance.
âFuck...â He moans as he slides inside. He lets me adjust then slowly starts to go back and forth speeding up until heâs at a good speed. He kisses my breasts leaving bruises as he rams into me. He finishes quickly, probably from wanking off while I was under the vibrator. He collapses on my chest kissing me lightly. âI love you...â He mumbles repeating it after every kiss. He unties me carrying me to the bathroom. âBubble bath?â He asks and I nod excitedly.
After the bath we walk out in new clothes to see George and Hermione smirking at us. âKNEW IT- THEY WERE!â Hermione says as he hands her a sack of money. âWhat the hell Fred?! Couldnât you just be a pussy and not ask her out?!â He asks and we laugh. âHey darling? Hermione found out.â He sings in my ear and I laugh walking over to my purse grabbing the money. I shove it into his chest and he smiles at me goofily. He pulls me in and I yelp as he kisses me. âI hate you both.â
