Getting hit with the Normalcy(tm) switch with FFXIV and not caring about it anymore means all the drama on Twitter has me grabbing popcorn instead of groaning and hoping my game doesn't break after every petty plugin dev dispute

“Mine” Series: Part 1: We’re Taking On the World Together
A/N: This is a three-part series based on Taylor Swift’s song, “Mine.” A summary [without giving too much away] would be: this series is about the evolvement of yours and Harry’s relationship-- the excitement and the struggles, the pits and peaks. No matter how crazy life gets, your each other’s safety nets.

It was a view you had only ever seen on television or in photographs. It was surreal. You and Harry were at the top of the highest mountain, overlooking valleys, trees, and a long, clear blue river that wrapped around. The sun was setting and the sky was all sorts of beautiful. Orange, pink, lavender colors decorated the sky. The photos you took on your phone didn't do the view justice. All you could do was remember its beauty.
You loved it on the mountain with Harry. You were secluded and alone. There was no noise but the sounds of your breaths. It was the most peaceful, relaxed, and intimate the two of you had been in a long while.
It was definitely needed. You and Harry needed to pull away from the chaos that surrounded your lives and take a moment for yourselves. You needed to spend time with one another without any distractions or interruptions.
Life had been in full speed the past several months. You had gotten accepted into Law school. Your courses were extensive and required a lot of time to be dedicated towards working on assignments and reviewing for tests. It was a type of pressure different from undergraduate school. On top of that, you were also working as an assistant at a law firm. Harry, on the other hand, was booked every single day, going here going there, promoting his album and playing shows. He would leave for days, even weeks, at a time. You lived under the same roof but it was as if you never saw each other. On the days Harry would be home, you were either working, at school, or too busy burying your nose in textbooks studying. Other days you would stay up and wait for Harry to come home but he was already exhausted from a long, tiresome day all he could muster up was energy for a kiss then head straight to bed.
Something had to be done. You and Harry needed to put life on pause before things fell apart. Things had gotten so chaotic you began to neglect one another. So you and Harry cleared your schedule for the next three weeks, booked a flight, and been disengaged from the rest of the world since. It was the best thing the two of you had ever done.
Your three weeks were rejuvenating. It relit the spark that had been overshadowed by busy lives. It reminded you and Harry why you fell in love with each other. The three weeks brought back the feelings you had on your first date, the first time you spent the night together, the time the two of you moved in with one another… It was like falling in love all over again.
"I don't want to go home," you said. Your eyes were focused on the view in front of you as your head rested on Harry's shoulder. "Neither do I, luv," he whispered.
You and Harry had three more days left on holiday. Three more days to appreciate the peace, the quiet, the privacy. There were no cameras or photographers. There were no screaming fans or demanding bosses. There were no business meetings or classes or assignments. Just you and Harry.
"I'm glad we did this," you looked up at Harry, his green eyes locking with yours. He smiled, his dimples pronounced. He leaned forward and pressed his rosy lips onto yours. He laid it there for a moment, leaving no empty space between you. He pulled away slowly and whispered, "I love you, Y/N. More than you will ever know."
"What happens when we get home? Is it going to be the same way again? Me at school and you gone?" you had a hint of sadness in the tone of your voice Harry picked up on.
"No," he assured you. "We'll do it better this time, luv. We'll fix it."
"How can you be so sure?"
He pressed his lips onto your forehead and you closed your eyes at the touch of his soft lips. Every time Harry touched you, it sent a wave of electricity and excitement through you, but also a sense of calmness and security. "Because I never wan' t' lose you, luv," he answered.
"You won't." You nuzzled the top of your head into the crook of his neck and hugged his arm. "You won't."
"I know," he responded. "There's something I want’d to do before we went home…"
"What is it, babe?"
Harry pulled away from you  and wiped the dirt off from his bottom. He reached a hand out toward you to pull you up. "Would you look at that bird," he pointed behind you. "It's beau’iful."
You spun around and your eyes searched the sky for what you thought could be an eagle. But the sky was empty. Your eyes shifted to the tall green trees but there was no sign of life. You spun around defeated, "Harry, I don't see---"
You stopped the moment you saw Harry kneel down. He had a small purple, velvet box in his hand that lit up when it opened. Inside was a large diamond in the center and smaller diamonds around the band. You were speechless. You couldn't believe it.
"Y/N Y/L/N, I have never loved anyone so deeply and so intensely as I have loved you," Harry spoke slow, careful not to choke up. "I have never been so afraid of losing someone my entire life. You keep me grounded. You make me happier than I ever thought I could be. You are my anchor, my peace… my home. I never, until the day I die, want to go a day without you." His green eyes became glossy, tears threatening to spill.
"Harry…" you smiled from ear to ear, every inch of your front teeth displayed.
"Y/N Y/L/N, will you marry me?" he proposed.
"YES! A million times, yes!" you shrieked in excitement. You jumped towards him, wrapping your arms around his neck, pressing your lips so tightly onto his. Harry fell on his back with you on top of him. He wrapped his arms around your body. There was no feeling he loved most than his world inside his arms. "I love you, Harry Styles."
"I love you, too, Future Mrs. Styles," he chuckled. "Let's put on your ring?"
You nodded and got up off Harry. The two of you stood up and you watched in awe and Harry slipped the large rock on your ring finger. "Harry, it's beautiful," you said. You held your hand in front of you and examined the beautiful ring. You then stepped to the edge of the mountain. You looked over your shoulder at Harry had nothing but love and admiration in his eyes. You reached out your hand, "Wanna do it with me?"
He chuckled and nodded. He walked towards you and took a hold of your hand, intertwining his fingers with yours. He placed himself right beside you.
You began counting, "One… Two… Three…"
"WE'RE ENGAGED!!!" The two of you screamed at the top of your lungs.
You jumped into Harry's arms, your arms locked around his neck and your legs wrapped around his waist. He kissed you so passionately you felt butterflies inside your stomach. Butterflies you never wanted to die.
You and Harry were full of laughter and joy, knowing you were going to spend the rest of your lives with one another. You were best friends, lovers, and partners for life. You were each other's source of encouragement and strength. Despite the troubles and stresses in life, in each other, you would always have a home. A heart to have and to hold.
The next three days went by in a blink of an eye. The following day was spent inside the stilt house as a full day of "celebrating" your engagement. The other two days were spent celebrating by the ocean, on the sand and in the water. You weren't afraid of returning to reality anymore. You knew you and Harry would find a system around the madness. It didn't matter how long your days were. As long as you came home to one another.
Actually, the two of you were excited to return home and share the big announcement. You knew the family, the fans, and the media were going to have the field day. You could hear the screams from Gemma and Anne. You could already picture the front cover of the magazines-- "Harry Styles proposed to girlfriend, Y/N, on secret getaway."
"Could I get you anything else, Mrs. Styles?" the flight attendant asked you, eyeing the shiny rock on your finger.
You held back from correcting her. "No, I'm okay for now, thank you," you said instead.
"Mrs. Styles," Harry smirked at you, raising an eyebrow.
"I like the sound of that," you winked, taking a sip of your champagne.
"I think I'm gonna head to the loo," Harry said suggestively. His eyes were all over you, still enticed. "Care to join me, luv?"
You set your glass down and followed Harry into the private plane's lavatory. You locked the door behind you and the rest was magic.
