synopsis: harry is a royal in love with a serving girl
word count: 5.7k
contains: fluff , nothing crazy I don’t think
. . .
Y/N was a simple serving girl. An orphan by the age of twelve after her mother and father died of influenza, she learnt to live alone and did so graciously. She knew that there was no point in arguing with the forces of life and so she spent much of her time doing small jobs in order to buy a small something to eat in the evenings and keep a roof over her head.
"Y/N, where have you been?" Maria looked at her wide eyed with hands on her hips as she wiped the sweat from her brow.
After a long time of searching for a permanent job, Y/N met Maria at a local market in the town centre of the village. She was at her worst, begging for scraps of food or something that would stop her stomach from rumbling for at least a little while. Maria was kind enough to offer her a tangerine and a job at the Duke's mansion where she would be a serving girl for as long as she could.
She didn't earn a lot but it was enough to get by and she even managed to save up enough to buy a little cottage home outside the town where she had her very own vegetable patch and an apple tree in the front garden.
"I'm sorry Maria, I came across a stall at the market and they were selling fresh loaves of bread. I thought it would be perfect to serve for the Duke with his breakfast." She placed the brown bag on the kitchen counter and took out the loaf of bread.
"Y/N my darling," Maria shook her head, she was use to the girls antics and couldn't help but let it slide. Maria was unmarried and couldn't have any children of her own so, in her eyes, Y/N was a gift sent from heaven and she cared for her as a mother would for her own child. "Pequeña soñadora." (Little dreamer) She wiped the dirt from Y/N's cheek and kissed her forehead.
Y/N grinned and grabbed her apron off of the pegs where the other servants would hang up their aprons as well. She sat on the bench close to the back door where she replaced her small, battered, brown pumps with black, lace up shoes which has a small heel to them.
She grabbed the trays of food which would be served to the Duke for his breakfast. "And what mood is the Duke in today Anthony?" Y/N leaned over and smiled, Anthony was the Duke's servant and was always giving updates on how the Duke was acting.
"The usual my sweet," He says, "Make sure you put a few more raspberries on his pancakes, might do the trick in cheering him up." Y/N nods and carries the tray to the dining hall, Ariana and Taylor following behind her.
They two double doors creek loudly as they're opened by the doorman. Y/N curtsies in front of the Duke and Duchess, keeping her head down as she brings them their breakfast. "Your breakfast my Lord." Y/N speaks, clearly.
"Thank you Y/N." The Duke addresses her and awaits for his plate of breakfast to land in front of him. Y/N takes the plate of raspberries and pours a few more onto his pancakes just like Anthony told him too.
Suddenly, the double doors open again and the sound of clicking shoes against the marble flooring catches Y/N's attention. She looks up as she reaches to grab the pot of tea and makes eye contact with a set of piercing, green eyes.
"Good morning father, sorry I'm late." Harry Styles, son of the Duke, a Marquess, enters the room and sits down in his usual spot opposite his mother.
"And what is your excuse this time boy?" The Duke responded, Y/N's body temperature changing from being so close to the Marquess.
"It was a perfect morning for hunting, took Banksy out with me and went out into the forest." Y/N pours tea into the Duke's mug before walking over to Harry, her pulse raising with every step she took.
"Did you catch anything?" The Duke feasted on his breakfast as he spoke, food getting caught in his greying moustache.
As Y/N poured the tea, her heart hammered against her chest when she felt Harry move his hand to brush against hers. She had a steady hand but was close to pouring the hot tea all over him.
She looked down at Harry who was still looking at his father, pretending the interaction didn't happen but she knew exactly what he meant by it.
"Will that be anything more my Lord?" Y/N asks, it was usual protocol.
The Duke says nothing and waves her off, giving her the signal to leave. Y/N leaves the dining room but doesn't hesitate to turn back and glance over at Harry who's already smiling right back at her.
Breakfast was over and Y/N was given a five minute window before she had to help make lunch. She reached for her coat and wrapped it around herself, looking over her shoulder before walking outside through the back door.
Once she had reached her destination, she looked around and was elated to see the head of brown curls walking towards her. His lean, long legs walking hastily knowing she had such a short amount of time to talk.
Without a moments hesitation, he picked her up and spun her around in his arms, a giggle eliciting from her lips. "Oh my beautiful girl." He grins, happiness apparent in his appearance. "How has it been just little under twenty four hours since I last saw you yet I have missed you ever so much?"
Y/N bites her lip, she could already feel her cheeks aching from a want to smile at his words. "I missed you too Harry." She leans forward and pecks his cheek but he shakes his head, leaning into her and placing his lips onto hers.
"I'd die happy, right here with you." He pulls away and looks at her so deeply into her eyes.
Y/N frowns, her mind was always plagued over the fact that her love with Harry was forbidden. She was a mere serving girl in a house that belonged to Harry's father and would soon belong to him.
"What's wrong baby?" Harry rubs his thumb under eye, feeling her skin beneath his touch.
Y/N nuzzles her cheek against his hand, "Do you ever wonder what life would be like outside these walls?" She murmurs, admitting her desires all of a sudden.
"What do you mean?" He looks at her confused.
"Harry you know there is no possibility for us to be together within this kingdom. Your father is a royal and you are too, as much as you hate to admit it," The more she spoke, the more Harry grew frustrated by her words because as much as he detested the true state of their relationship, he also knew it was true. "But out there my love, there is so much for us, so much we can do. I've seen it."
Harry knew of Y/N's past, she had told him once on a night she would never forget. The night they had their first kiss under the stars in the garden that she adored spending so much time in.
"What are you suggesting?" He knew what she was suggesting but he also knew his little love was so full of dreams and it hurt him knowing she had no way of reaching them considering her class.
She felt her lips turn downwards slightly but she tried to smile, her expression bittersweet knowing she was off in one of her daydreams again. "I'm not suggesting anything Harry, it's merely a dream I have. I know your duty lies here with the Duke and you will live out your life in this mansion where you will marry a rich, beautiful woman and have plenty of children who you will pass the name down to. Whilst I, a poor serving girl, will be at your side until my last dying day."
She tried to pull away from him, the words upsetting her no matter how true they were. She felt Harry grip onto her arm softly, not wanting to hurt her but wanting her to stay. "My sweet girl what on Earth are you talking such nonsense for?" He spoke, "You know I've never wanted to be Duke and the only beautiful woman I will marry is you. You and I will have plenty of children which we will pass our name down to and we will be at each others side for eternity, long after death."
Y/N smiled at his words, imagining the life she could have if his words ever came to life, but they couldn't. "Harry-"
"Baby," He interrupted her, "run away with me."
Her lips parted in shock at what he was suggesting. She shook her head in much disbelief.
"You have no idea what you are saying." She speaks as if she wasn't suggesting it a few minutes ago.
"Oh I know exactly what I'm saying," He smiles, cheekily and pulls her into his embrace.
She looks up at him, resting her head on his shoulder as she whispers into his ear, "The life you'll live Harry, it's nothing like it is here. There are no servants waiting on you and serving you three meals a day. We may not know if we'll even get breakfast let alone supper and we'll have to run away from the village. You'll be missing and the Duke will have no one to give his title to, the Styles name ending with him. Think about this."
"My love I have spent many nights thinking about this, I spend all my nights dreaming of a life with you where we don't have to sneak around to be together. We can live somewhere far away where I can touch you," He runs his fingers down her arm and goosebumps arise, "Feel you," He whispers so close into her ear and digs his fingers into her waist and she gasps but doesn't halt his actions, "Worship you." He kisses the spot under her ear.
"You'd give it all up for me?" She wonders, in awe of the man she was falling in love with.
"I'd give up my life for you." His lips brush against hers, moving in closer to get a kiss from her.
"Y/N?" Maria called from the kitchen.
Y/N pulls away from him, knowing her five minutes were up and she had no choice but to go back and help the other servants. "Your leaving already?" Harry sighs, holding onto her hand so tightly she couldn't let go.
"Lunch is soon to come around so I have to help out in the kitchen." She wished she had more time to spend with him. "Are you still coming over tonight?" She had been excited about tonight considering she and Harry had been planning it for the last two weeks. He was planning on coming to her cottage since the Duke was leaving after lunch for formal duties at the crown court. He wouldn't be back until the morning which gave Harry much opportunity to sneak away and visit her in her little cottage.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world baby." He kisses her passionately before she can leave.
"I love you Harry." She whispers.
"I love you more and don't forget about what I said." He calls after her as she runs back to the kitchens.
She walks in through the back door in a daze, holding her hands to her heart and looking up at the ceiling. Being with Harry always felt like a dream.
She could feel someones eyes on her and looked forward to see Maria glaring at her. She shook her head after they made eye contact, "Estas entrando en aguas peligrosas pequeña soñadora." (You’re entering dangerous waters, little dreamer)
Y/N bit her lip and brushed her off. She knew what she was doing by being with Harry but she wouldn't give him up. She had done that far too much throughout her life and she wanted to be selfish just this once.
Lunch came about quicker than expected and the kitchen was already starting to get hectic as the servants plated up the food for each member of the family. Y/N was preparing the wine which she was going to serve and listened as Maria spoke to the other servants.
Anthony came in to alert everybody that the family were already waiting for their food and everyone picked up the trays of food. Y/N smiled, feeling giddy about seeing Harry after the conversation they had this morning.
The doors opened and she could already see him sat in his usual seat beside his father and opposite his mother. Y/N realised they had caught them mid conversation, her ears perking up to hear what they were talking about.
"Harry, are you prepared for the ball this Saturday night?" The duchess asked, a smile overcoming her features.
"In all honesty mother, it's barely crossed my mind." Harry sighs, his eyes glued to Y/N as she pours the wine in the duchess' glass.
"Well I've had Gerald go to the town to buy your garments. We need to looking spectacular since it's the perfect opportunity to find you a bride."
A loud thud catches the family's attention, their eyes diverting to Y/N who's picking up the jug of wine she had dropped on the floor. "I'm so s-sorry My Lord and Lady." She curtsies, apologising to them profusely.
"It's perfectly alright dear." The duchess places a hand on her to calm her down.
She ignored Harry's eyes on her as she got back to serving the wine. "I've already told you mother, I will do no such thing as finding a bride." He speaks.
"Nonsense Harry," It was the Duke's turn to speak, "We all agreed you would find a bride before the sixth month which is vastly approaching."
Y/N could feel her heart slowly breaking, Harry had never mentioned any of this to her. The sixth month was only a month away which meant they had little to no time in finding a bride.
"You cannot force me to marry father." You could hear the tension in Harry's voice as he tried to control his anger.
The Duke scoffs, "I think you'll find that I can because I am your father and above that the Duke. You are a Marquees Harry, you will be taking my title and carrying on the bloodline so, yes, I can force you to marry."
The servants were trying to go about their business knowing of the rise in tension in the room but Y/N couldn't ignore what was going on. Harry was going to find a bride and he didn't tell her of the short amount of time he had to find one.
"You and mother have always said to marry for love - I cannot force myself to fall in love with somebody." The Duke ignores Harry's words so he looks to his mother for help but she shakes her head, trying to stop him from angering the Duke even further.
Harry looks over at Y/N again, he knew she was hearing every word the family was saying and his heart felt heavy when he noticed the glassy look in her eyes as she kept her head down to avoid him.
Unable to control his rage, he hits his closed fist against the table, the entire thing shaking and startling everyone around him. "I have done so much for both of you, taken part in every duty you have signed me up to when you both know I'd rather die than keep my title. The least you could do is accommodate my one desire of refusing to marry someone I do not love." He spits, eyes filled with fury at both his parents.
The room is filled with an eerie silence with nothing but Harry's heavy breathing as the servants stand away from the table to one side, keeping their heads down.
Finally the Duke looks up at Harry, "You will be at the ball this Saturday night boy." Harry doesn't bother staying to hear the rest, he stands up and storms out of the room. The Duchess turns to the servants and apologises in a flustered state at the actions of her son.
Lunch was over before it had even begun and the servants had no choice but to clear up the plates which were still loaded with uneaten food. "Unbelievable." Ariana muttered under her breath, it was never fun when they had slaved away in the kitchen only for their food to go un-eaten.
Y/N was too far in her own head to respond, trying to mentally heal the heartbreak she was feeling after the whole ordeal at lunch. She carried the cups away with her and left the room to deliver them to the kitchen.
As she was about to turn the corner, she felt a tug on the end of her dress and was startled to see Harry, sympathy in his eyes. She could tell by the look on his face that he wanted her to follow him and, as much as she tried to fight herself, she followed him.
Harry pulled her into a vacant room that wasn't often used regularly. Y/N stood with her arms crossed waiting for him to talk. He paced back and forth and Y/N made no effort to calm him down even though she could see the torment across his features.
He finally looks at her, "Can I kiss you please?"
Y/N doesn't get the chance to say anything before he walks over and cups her face in his hands, kissing her lips. Y/N melted into him like she did every time. No matter what was going on between them, he never failed to make her feel so wanted and that was something she never often felt growing up.
But she couldn't deny the incessant reminder in her head that even though she was wanted now by him, she may not be in the future. After Saturday night he could make someone feel the exact same way and she refused to put herself in a situation like that.
"Harry," She pulled away, "Don't come over tonight." She hadn't even realised she had started crying until she wiped away a stray tear from her face.
She forced herself out of his embrace and turned away from him. She could hear him calling her name from behind. However, she knew Harry was stubborn so she had no choice but to be the one to walk away.
It was for the best. They had both always known that their relationship was doomed from the very beginning and now was the time to accept that.
Y/N walked home in the dark after a hard day at work. She carried a whicker basket with a loaf of bread inside that Maria had kindly sneaked her after supper was served in the evening. Considering the day she had, she was glad to have a little something to look forward to.
At the sight of her tiny cottage, her shoulders relaxed. She was so happy to finally be at home and away from everywhere else where she had time to think to herself. She immediately walked to the kitchen to heat up the loaf of bread and prepare a vegetable broth to have for dinner.
As she was about to add in her chopped carrots, a knock sounded at the door. Her eyebrows furrowed when she tries to this of who could be here at this time of day. She walked to the front door and held her ear to it in hopes it would give her an idea of who was there but it was impossible to make out any sound.
"Y/N it's me." Her breath caught in her throat when he spoke, her mind dividing her opinion of whether or not to open it for him. "I just want to talk to you, I-I want to explain everything and I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier but you have to believe me when I tell you all of this is what my father wanted... All I want is you."
Y/N was holding onto the door knob as she listened to him speak until one choice outweighed the other and she opened the door to reveal a sad looking Harry. He was a disheveled mess, his hair all over the place like he'd been running his fingers through it over and over in frustration.
Despite the flash of guilt that came to her, she stood her ground, crossing her arms and glaring at him. Harry couldn't help but grin as she tried her best to look angry, he knew she wouldn't hurt a fly. "You're so cute." He says, not caring how angry she was. He was always going to compliment her no matter what mood she was in.
"Did you follow me?" Y/N wondered, he had never been to her home before which was why tonight was so exciting for them.
"Maybe or maybe I asked Maria." He shrugged. "Can I please come in?"
Y/N wanted to keep him outside so he wouldn't think she'd forgive him so easily for not telling her about the deal Harry had with his parents but she was cold and tired and her soup was still on the stove. So, she moved to the side and allowed him entry.
Harry's face softened and he thanked her as he passed by. Y/N released a sigh and lead the way to the kitchen where she walked to the stove and went back to making her soup. "Your home is perfect, exactly how I thought it would be." Harry speaks, admiring the simplicity and cosiness of the home, wishing he had something remotely similar.
"Exactly how you thought it would be?" She wonders, smiling to herself since her back was to him.
"Mhm," He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, she couldn't help but sink into him. "Soft and pink." He murmured, "I'm sorry Y/N. I know I should have told you about the whole thing with my mother and father but I never thought it mattered when my plan has always been to run away with you."
Y/N turned around in his embrace and looked at him confused, "What are you talking about?"
"Baby, since the day I met you you had me wrapped around this tiny little finger," He held up Y/N's hand and pressed a kiss to her fingertips before placing it to his cheek so he could feel her soft skin, "I've always had dreams of running away with you, living a life of simplicity with just the two of us and maybe a few little ones too." He placed his hand on her belly and butterflies swarmed under his touch.
"You're crazy, you heard what your father said Harry. Maria likes to call me a little dreamer but she has yet to meet you," She pushed him away and turned back around to take the soup off of the stove.
"Why do you act like this isn't something you dream of as well." Harry was starting to get annoyed with people telling him that what he desired wasn't achievable.
"Of course I have dreamt of running away with you many times and-"
"The let's do it," He steps in front of her, picking up both of her hands in his, "Let's leave this place and be together."
She could see the true desperation in his eyes and she wanted nothing more than to say yes, "W-we can't."
Harry stepped away, "Why? Why can't we?"
Y/N looked at him and felt the flood gates fall open, tears running down her cheeks, "Because I am in love with you Harry." She confesses, having never confessed it before, "I am so in love with you my heart could burst and it's that exact reason I have no choice but to give you what's best. Maybe in another life, where class wasn't important and being poor was no longer a cause of death, we could be together but I love you so much and I want nothing more than for you to have everything you need."
Harry was speechless. "Y/N," He reached for her, pulling her into his chest as she cried. He touched her so delicately, looking into her eyes and seeing the love and heartbreak twirling around together in an achingly beautiful dance. "I love you too."
She sobbed even harder and kissed him on the lips, "Thank you for loving me so strongly my love but you have to understand, I don't want to be the next Duke. Not because of you or anyone else, it's a feeling I've had for as long as I can remember. My whole life I've been told what to do by my father and mother but you were the only person who saw me as something other than a Marquees. You've been the only thing I've needed to know I need to take control over my own life and so I need you to run away with me. Please, Y/N."
Y/N had been fighting hard for so long, knowing what was best for him and knowing how many problems this would cause if she were to say yes. She was tossing between her mind and heart but her heart was always going to win, it always did. "When?" She whispers.
Harry exhaled, feeling an overwhelming sense of relief. He kissed her so fiercely, harder than he had ever done before. They were finally going to get what they had both dreamt of, "Tonight. I've already told Maria and she's asked her husband to get us as far away from here as possible."
"You spoke to Maria about this?" Y/N was surprised Maria knew this was happening and even more surprised she was willing to give them money for their escape.
"It was the only way for me to know where you lived." Harry confessed. "You'll have to leave all this behind but we'll find a home and make it ours."
Y/N's heart warms. The soup was long forgotten about now as she ran about packing a small bag of her most valuable possessions to take with her.
Harry nodded in reassurance at her and lead her outside where he already had a horse waiting for them. It would be their main source of transport until they could got to the harbour where a boat would be waiting to take them away.
"Are you sure of this Harry?" She wanted to double check before they carried out the life changing decision.
"I've never been so sure of anything in my life." Harry says and helps her onto the horse. She glances back at her cottage. It was bittersweet leaving it behind, it was the first home she purchased in her whole twenty three years of living after being homeless but now she was going to be living somewhere new with Harry and money wasn't something she had to worry about for the time being considering Harry had bought a few valuables of his own for them to sell in order to start their new life.
They reached the harbour just as the sun was starting to rise. Y/N jumped off the horse and ran over to Maria who was arguing with her husband over something to do with the safety of the boat. Maria opened her arms when she noticed Y/N running towards her, "mi pequeño soñador." Maria teared up, "Be safe my love and don't forget to write to me."
Y/N nodded, crying with Maria who had been the only person before Harry who had always been there for her. Maria's husband was going to be taking them to the next border so they would be far enough to find somewhere to hide away.
"Baby," Harry reached out for Y/N's hand as he stood on the boat waiting for her.
"Thank you Maria for everything." Y/N cried and took Harry's hand, glancing back at Maria.
She waved to her as the boat began to sail away. She was sat in-between Harry's legs with her back against his chest, "I love you." He whispered, kissing her cheek.
"I love you too." Y/N responded, looking out at the sunrise feeling excited for her bran new life.
. . .
Four Years Later.
The sun shone through the window as it began to rise. Y/N felt the warmth from the sun rays hit her bare back as she lay in bed in the softest, white sheets. Harry ran a finger up and down her spine as he watched her sleep.
He pressed his lips to her bare shoulder and up her neck, "Are you hungry sweet girl?" He whispered.
Y/N smiled and nodded her head, slowly opening her eyes and meeting his green ones. Before Y/N had the chance to reply, the door to their bedroom creaked open and in waddled a their little baby.
"Mmmmaama!" Marie squealed, wearing nothing but a pullover around her waist. She was three years old but looked a year younger, she was born pre-mature and since Y/N was already quite small, Marie was tiny.
Harry's head fell onto Y/N's bare chest as he let out a groan, wanting time with his beautiful wife which was very rare considering they had a very clingy toddler.
"Dada no!" Marie tried to crawl onto the bed, clinging onto the blankets in a tight fist to try and pull herself onto the bed.
"C'mere Ri Ri," Harry chuckled, picking her up and placing her between Harry and Y/N.
"Maaamaaa!" Marie squealed and reached for her mother.
"Good morning little dove." Y/N kissed her chubby cheeks.
Harry smiled, he loved watching his girls interact together. "Hey Ri Ri, wanna come with dada to pick some fruit from the garden?"
Marie squealed, not really understanding what her father had said but agreed with him anyway. "Let's go cherry, let mama get dressed." He kissed Y/N on the forehead before grabbing the baby.
This was their life now.
They had ran away together four years ago and it was the best decision either of them could have made. For a while, both Y/N and Harry struggled to make a life for themselves. They were staying in a small hut as Harry went to work on a farm whilst Y/N worked at a local food shop.
They were so close to giving up in that moment but Harry was prepared to keep his promise of the life they both desired. They ended up travelling further down south after saving up enough money to buy a permeant place to live where they found a small cottage.
After a while, Harry had found a job on a job which gave him enough money to get by. Y/N also had a small job working three days a week at a hat shop but a year later she fell pregnant with Marie so for now she was only working twice a week.
There was no word on what happened to the Duke after Harry's disappearance. Both Y/N and Harry tried their best to avoid any talk of the Duke and Duchess but it didn't stop them from hearing rumours in their local town.
Y/N got dressed into one of her favourite dresses Harry had bought her for her birthday two years ago. She put on her boots to go outside where she saw Harry, wearing nothing but black trousers and boots as he held Marie who was now dressed into something besides her pullover.
She walked over to them and pressed her hand to Harry's bare back, catching his attention. Marie was picking apples off of the apple tree that had even planted in their back garden before they had bought the house.
Marie held up the apple to Harry, "That looks perfect Ri Ri," She giggled and put the apple in the brown basket.
"Marie decided we were going to have pancakes with fruit for breakfast." Harry updated Y/N.
"Oh that sounds wonderful." Y/N kissed Marie and then stood on her tiptoes to kiss Harry.
"You look beautiful." Harry says, his compliments never failing to make her blush. "Can we have another baby?"
Y/N laughed but he was completely serious about it, "Harry-"
"Let me put a baby in you." He pouted, "It'll be fun!"
"Fifteen minutes for nine months of pain? Sounds like fun to me," Her pregnancy with Marie was really difficult and swore her off having kids for the rest of her life.
“You know it’s a lot longer than fifteen minutes thank you very much.” He pinches her sides, "I won't force you because I know it's your body, m’love but just know whenever your ready I'll be right here to fulfil your wishes." He smirked and Y/N nudged him.
"Mamaa look!" Marie held out her chubby hand that was full of raspberries.
"Wow dove! Can mama try one?" She crouched down and opened her mouth for Marie to place a raspberry. "Delicious." She hummed and Marie giggled.
Y/N stood up and looked to Harry, "Maybe we can have another baby."
Harry grins, "I'll call Estella." He says, referring to Marie's babysitter.
He wraps one arm around Y/N's waist as they both stand and watch Marie picking berries in the home they dreamt of having together. He kissed her forehead, "I'm glad you ran away with me." He speaks softly into her ear, happy with the life he finally got to choose.

Yearly Styles' Family Awards
Tumblr media
Summary: in the middle of a pandemic, the Styles kids want to recreate an award show like the ones their parents used to go to.
some adorable and cute inexistent scenarios to cope with life :)
Content: husband!dadrry x wife&mom!Y/n (fluff), kids. Mention of covid and the pandemic (2021/2022), she/her Y/n. Food (kinda). A slight reference to sex (nothing deep, there'll be time for that ;) ).
Disclaimer: English is not my first language so if there’s any mistake i’m sorry, i’ll try to correct it. It’s not proofreader yet (☞ ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞.
“Honey, honey, no, no, no. Mum's busy right now.” Harry whispered carrying his daughter who was trying to enter her mother's office.
“But I want to show her my drawing. And I want more paint." she squirmed in Harry's arms, trying to go back.
“You can have all the paint you want, but in a couple of minutes, remember that mommy's getting an award? That's why we baked the cake.” Harry was on his knees distracting the fidgety girl.
“You mean I baked it?” she giggled.
“Oh, so that's how you treat your assistant?” Harry combed the rebellious curly hair of Melody. She continued giggling.
“I thought there weren't gonna be fans waiting for me this time.” an optimistic voice said. Y/n, with sweatpants and a pretty blouse, was admiring her family.
“Mommy!” the girl jumped into her arms, Y/n rapidly caught her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
“Hi, sunshine. What happened here?” she pointed to the pajama top of her kid, with chocolate and paint stains all over it, and looked at Harry with a raised eyebrow, he just smiled like saying 'sorry'.
“I made you a cake and a drawing.”
“Lie!” exclaimed Harry standing back up with a jump.
Melody held onto her mother's neck tightly and exclaimed, "Don't listen to him!".
“I left for thirty minutes!” she slowly put her daughter down because she was starting to strangulate her.
Harry softly laughed and went to hug her. “Congratulations, love. I'm proud of you.” and then he gave her a kiss.
“Thanks, H.” their little bubble popped with a cry, their baby boy. They giggled.
“I'll go, and let you see the cake that Mel and I made for you.” he gave his daughter a final look and Melody shook her head with a smile.
“Okay, I also want to see the cause for this colorful mess” Y/n returned her attention to the little girl, who grabbed her hand and let her into the kitchen.
“What did you win, mommy?” she said sitting on the island.
“Well... I'm not gonna bore you, but every year there are events to recognize the work of people, this time was for the book that I wrote.”
“The one with my drawing on the cover?”
“Yes! I guess you're also a winner” She giggled at the expression of the kid, she looked amazed.
“Where is it!”
“I think it's arriving in a couple of days.” she pinched the girl's nose.
“Why can't you go? I remember that you and daddy went to other places for more awards before.”
“Baby, remember that we have to stay at home, it's not safe right now.”
“But it will be?”
“Of course, honey. One day it'll be safe and perfectly fine, and one day you can go to those events if you want to.” Y/n couldn't help but feel sad and nostalgic, she brushed a piece of hair off of Mel's face to caress her puffy cheek.
“Of course I want to! Can I go with all the pretty clothes and makeup that you use? Or like the daddy's suits!”
Y/n laughed, getting herself as excited as her daughter.
“Well, one day, I promise.”
“But we have to start planning everything now.”
Mel's green eyes, incredibly alike to Harry's, looked at her hopeful, she also put her hands together in the form of pleading. And how could she say no to that adorable package, and an even better thing than just putting on clothes, something bigger?
“I have another idea..”
The famous chocolate cake just sat on the counter, while the mother-daughter duo ran upstairs.
“How's he?” said Y/n entering Daniel's room.
“Just wanted Puffy,” Harry said leaning in the crib watching adoringly his son playing with his beloved bunny plushie.
“He's a simple little man.”
“Let him be.” her husband turned around to face her. Y/n grabbed one of his hands and change the tone of her voice to a very sweet one.
“So, I was talking with Mel... we were talking about the award shows and that stuff, and I kinda made the suggestion of making an event here... like, right now, well no, tomorrow but you know, the assembling and that.”
“Okay.” he laughed. “So, we're hosting an award show.” she nodded “That's adorable, my love. I love it.”
“Uf, I knew you'll like it. Thanks, sweetheart.” she kissed his lips lightly. “I'll watch him from now on, go help Mel.”
“I'm expecting an award,” he whispered patting her bum on his way out.
“Dad!” Mel's high-pitched voice made its way into her parent's bedroom. She sounded desperate.
“What's the matter, honey?” Harry walked into her bedroom in full glam. He was wearing one of his old suits from Live on Tour just testing if it still fitted him.
“I don't know what to wear.” his daughter groaned, some cute dresses and suits on the carpet of her room.
“What about this one?” he took a plain black suit, in his opinion an adorable piece.
“It's too simple. I want one like yours.” she pouted and pulled from the shiny fabric of his blazer. His heart melted.
“Aw.” and then it hit him. “Oh, wait. I think I have one like mine for you.” he grabbed her hand and let her into his bedroom.
He dug up in the closet. He knew he kept the suit from the Kiwi music video. At that time Melody was barely a two-year-old but he treasured it for the right moment, now for example.
“Yeah, here. Do you like it?”
“Wow. Yes! It's so beautiful. Thanks, daddy!”
Harry's deep voice said quietly, "Tomorrow is the big day. You should try to get some sleep."
“I'm just finishing this” answered his wife, she was holding a paintbrush with which she was completing a cute banner with the words 'Yearly Styles' Family Awards'.
“Yearly Styles' family awards?” he whispered “Clever, love.”
“I know you're joking, but thanks.”
“Need any help?” he said sitting on the edge of the couch watching his wife in awe.
“You can cut out some circles in those sheets. Just use the red, yellow, and blue.”
“Mhm,” he mumbled quickly doing so.
Y/n looked up from the 's' she was working at that moment. She watched the ellipse-shape-like circles in the hands of her husband, recalling him wearing his old suit, he looked so similar and yet changed so much at the same time. It made her head hurt thinking of all the time that have passed since they ever met.
She was beginning to be a recognized lyricist in the pop industry and ended up writing songs for the album Midnight Memories. One day, when she was having a meeting with Louis Tomlinson, showing him a couple of songs, Harry walked into the hotel room.
At first, Harry rapidly exited the room, shouting sorry's, thinking they were in a private moment, but soon after they got presented by Louis.
“M'Harry. Nice to meet you. And, you know, sorry.”
“I know. Y/n, don't worry, you did nothing.”
“'kay, now, can we get finished? I want pizza...” Louis groaned like a toddler.
“Calm down, mate” said Y/n imitating his accent. He shoved her off and grinned, she didn't knew why.
Shortly after she began to encounter Harry very often. They began to talk more and grow closer, and when they exchanged phones they talked every single day via text and facetime, something they still do to this day.
Almost a year later they began to date. The relationship was kind of secret, with just the guys from the band and family and very close friends knowing, until Y/n got pregnant two years into the relationship.
A lot was happening with the band's hiatus. All the eyes were on Harry and became impossible to hide from the public.
They went through a lot of public scrutiny and unasked comments since anyone understood how that relationship happened without anyone knowing, and the hate and nasty gossip only made their bond even more, just for Melody to make them inseparable.
All of that and more went through her head for just watching Harry with a suit from some years ago. That made her want to cry, happy tears.
“You okay, honey?” his deep voice snapped her out of her line of thought. She moved her gaze from his hands to his eyes.
“Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay, I was just feeling melancholic...”
“About what?” he says leaving the scissors on the armrest of the couch.
“Watching you in your suit... Oh! And Melody's one, she looked adorable, I didn't know you kept it.” Y/n said standing up and walking to Harry, placing herself between his legs.
“I forgot to tell you, at the end I was asked if I wanted to keep some of the things, I wish I also kept the one I used.” his hands went to her hips as if they were magnets near some pure metal curve.
“Well, you still looked very handsome in the shiny jacket.” she grabbed the collar of his hoodie to attract his face to hers.
“I thought you said you liked me more in hoodies and sweatpants than fancy clothes,” he whispered looking at her lips.
“I actually like you more in your birthday suit, but you will always look great, even with a potato sack.”
“You missy, stop it now, otherwise I'm not responsible for what might happen later.”
Y/n just kissed him passionately. Her hands were still on his hoodie, while he's changed to her lower back.
The room had some light jazz in the background with the breaths from the couple as the protagonists.
Y/n pushed away from the kiss. “Wanna go to the bedroom?” she said quietly.
“What about this?” he shook his head towards the sign. He had a cocky smile, she knew he was just playing with her, but she can do that too. She liberated herself from his grip and turned her back to him.
“Oh, yeah. Well, I'll finish this-” and before she finished her sentence, Harry's hands were on her waist lifting her up. She squealed and giggled. “You're getting way too comfortable carrying everyone shorter than you around.”
He chuckled and let her go. “We can finish the sign tomorrow.” then he winked offering her his hand, which Y/n took. They walked to their bedroom as quietly as possible and locked the door.
“Mummy! Daddy!” a quiet knock startled the couple. Y/n jumped out of Harry’s embrace to put on something more than his hoodie she wore that night as pajama.
“A moment sweetie!” instinctively, she turned to the clock above the door, it makes 8 am. She groaned.
By this time, Harry was on his knees looking for the sweatpants he had been wearing the day before, which had probably been thrown away somewhere in the room a couple hours ago.
Y/n opened the door without expecting no one, she picked her head an turned around inspecting the surroundings quickly spotting her daughter carrying her brother out of his room.
“Even he was awake earlier.”
“I’m sorry, sunshine.” she kissed her head and blended over to take Danny, also giving him a kiss. “Good morning.”
“It’s okay, it was fun watching him blow bubbles with his drool.”
Y/n chuckled. Three out of four Styles walked into the master bedroom, Harry was standing next to the bed completely stiff. Y/n couldn’t help but let out another laugh.
“Good morning, daddy.” Mel we go to hug him.
“Morning. honey.”
“I have a schedule for today.” the girl said sitting on the bed.
“Really?” asked Y/n surprised. She loved the ideas of her girl.
“Yes! I was watching some videos and pictures. Is there a red carpet?”
“We have a beige carpet.”
“It’ll work.” she nodded with confidence. Harry and Y/n shared a proud look.
“Okay, little director. You can tell us about your plan at breakfast, how’s that sound?” Y/n said giving her a big smile.
“Can I have waffles?”
“Of course you can.”
“Yay!”
“To the left- no, the other left.”
“So the right...”
“No, my left your right.”
“We have the same left and right, darlin'” the both adults chuckled.
“What's taking so long! I want to start with the hair and makeup.” Melody entered the living room with two bags and a hair straightener.
“Where did you find those?“ Y/n said taking the black flat iron from her little hands.
“Your bathroom.” the girl simply said. “Is everything done? I already have the award winners.”
“Can we know who they are?” Harry asked playful.
“No.” Mel smiled.
“Not even the nominees?” Y/n continued.
“No, it's a surprise.”
“Fine, at least I won something?” her dad sat on an armchair crossing his arms and pouting.
“One, maybe two. But makeup and hair. Now.”
“You're being quite bossy today, Mel.” Y/n said ruffling through the curls of her daughter, Melody stood up and put a hand on her hip, forming an adorable pose. Both of her parents laughed, and so did she, hell, even her little brother. “I'll do the hair and you take care of the makeup. If you want there's some in my-”
“Third drawer on your closet's vanity.” she finished her mum's sentence walking to said vanity.
Y/n looked at her in disbelief and turned to look at Harry. “I swear, she's the perfect mix between you and me.”
“The best of two worlds.” he smiled as their baby was squealing, demanding some attention. Harry picked him up. “What are you going to wear today, buddy?” his baby just looked at him deep in the eye.
“Oh! I know. That cute suit with the gray vest.”
“The one mum sent?” His gaze returned to his wife. She nodded. “Ah, I love that little outfit, I want one for myself.”
“It seems like I need to wear a blazer and pants or I'll look left out of my family.” the woman giggled while playing with the little chubby fingers of her child.
“You know what you should wear?” she hummed in response looking at him again. “The Coperni vest with the matching pants.”
“I love you and your sense of fashion.” she kissed his lips.
“I imagine something purple” Melody put her hand on her chin thinking.
“I trust you, sweetie” Y/n had a sweatband stopping her hair from interrupting the process.
“You in purple and daddy in pink!” she clapped in excitement. “And me in blue and Danny in… black?”
“Maybe Danny can go without makeup, i think he’s skin is a little too sensitive for now.” she looked at her daughter with a warm smile.
“Yeah, you’re right mum.”
“Well, let’s get to work, I still have to do everyone’s hairs.” Melody smiled even more exited and went floor the products she needed.
“Not yours.” the voice of her husband creeped from behind, caressing her hair. “I can do it.”
“Uh. I don’t know if i trust you with hair. Remember Mel’s winter festival incident.” Harry looked at her with a offended look.
“It was just a slip, and her ear is fine.”
Melody returned. “I have a scar.”
“And I’m sorry, honey. But tell mommy how much I’ve improve.”
“Uh, well, you are better.” she shook her head in agreement. “You’re in… good hands mum.”
Y/n laughed and said “Okay, I’ll confide in my star stylist’s word.”
At the end Y/n ended up with a glowy cosmic like makeup, not bad for an almost 8-year-old, and a half ponytail, not bad for a Harry.
In Harry’s turn her daughter took a similar approach in his makeup, just different colors. She used a lot of glittery and bright colors, a lot of highlighter as well. Later his wife combed his hair very simple.
While Melody was doing her own makeup, with Harry’s assistance, Y/n was dressing Daniel up. He looked like a little gentleman from the 40s with his outfit.
“I want all my hair down.” said Melody, her hair ended up being just her natural curls better only better groomed, and with some shiny golden clips.
“It’s beige carpet time!”
Y/n staged her and Harry’s phone in two different angles to record the event as well as using a regular camera to take the pictures. The first one in pass was Melody. She wore her suit with admirable confidence, walked to the middle of the hall and pose for her mom. Some serious, some silly and done.
The next one was Harry with Danny in his arms. Harry was a natural in front of the cameras and as confident as his daughter. Danny was just giggling and going along.
Thirdly, Y/n, at first she felt a little self conscious, but with her family cheers she remembered there was nothing to be anxious about, she was in the confort of her own home with the people she loved the most. She walked through the soft material in her bare foot. She loved her outfit and according to Harry, she was rocking it. Harry took her photos.
And last but not least, they set up the camera to take a couple of family pics, most of which were very blurry, but it was a lot of fun.
no Then they moved to the living room, it was time for the award ceremony. Melody made six different envelopes with the confidential information.
“Good afternoon to everyone. I’m happy to announce the first event of the yearly Styles’ family awards.” she said standing on an old coffee table and with an unplugged karaoke microphone.
Y/n and Harry were sitting on the floor resting their backs in the couch, Danny was sitting between his mum’s legs.
Harry cupped his mouth and cheered. “Woo!”
“Thanks.” Y/n and Harry chuckled. “The first award of the day is…” Y/n grabbed an iPad and played a drum sound. “The best mum in the life...” she looked at the sign of the Yearly Styles’ Family Awards. “Am. If the year. Best mum of the year.”
“Oh god, who could it be…” Harry whispered with his hands covering his mouth.
“The winner is…” iPad drums. “Y/n Styles-Y/l/n!”
“Oh god, yes! Can you…” she passed the baby to Harry, and he gave her a peck. “Yay!”
The awards were origami pigeons, also made by Mel. Y/n received her first one, and hopefully not last, award. “Congrats, mommy.”
“Thanks, sunshine. Oh god. Ahm… I don’t know what to say. Thanks to the ones that made me a mother.” she look at her family sitting in front of her. “It’s the best thing that ever happened to me, it motivates me every day to wake up and see your beautiful faces and hear your voices. I love you, my angels. And a honorary mention to your daddy. It literally wouldn’t be possible without you.”
“Yeah, mamma!” said Harry.
Melody stepped back up and presented the next award. “Next… best dad of the year.” this time i read of a drums sound effect there was an ad. “Again. The best dad of the year…” drums. “Harry Styles-Y/l/n!”
“Yeah!” Harry punched the air. “Thanks, honey.” he carefully grabbed his pigeon. “Hm… Love, i’m gonna copy your speech, a little bit, I hope that doesn’t bother you.” He smiled to Y/n, who shook her head and smiled back. “Perfect. So, I always knew I wanted to be a dad, but i never knew that it would be this great. Waking up to see you is a blessing every time, I love you all more than anything. Thanks.” he blowed a kiss to his family.
“Great speeches tonight!” she exclaimed. “Okay. The next one is…” a different video of drums. “Best little brother/son of the year!”
Y/n stood up with Danny in her arms, he laughed don’t knowing what was going on. Harry also stood up cheering his son.
“Congrats, baby D.” his sister kissed his cheek.
“Look love, it’s yours.” Y/n took his pigeon and showed it to him.
“Ah!” he responded.
“So touching.” Harry said and hugged his son.
“Before the next award. We’ll go to an ad break a.k.a this little guy needs some food.” Y/n said before Melody went back to the podium. Y/n and Danny went to the kitchen.
“Daddy.” Melody said quietly. “I need your help.”
“What’s the matter?”
“There’s a category of best parent… I don’t have a winner. You are both the bests parents in the universe.” she whispered looking to the floor.
“Aw, honey, that’s so sweet.”
“I don’t want to make anyone feel bad.” she pouted.
“Well, we could ended in a tie.”
“That’s boring.”
Harry chuckled. “Okay. Ahm. I don’t know. A competition?”
“Like an eating competition.”
“Yeah… Or it could be race.”
“Ohh! A race with us on your backs.”
“Are you sure you don’t want a tie, honey?”
“Yeah, maybe it’s easier.”
“It’s easier for my back too.”
“Okay, old man. A tie.”
“Eh!”
“I need to make a new pigeon!”
After a new pigeon and a cop yoke of seconds later, Y/n walked into the living room. Danny’s head was in her shoulder, his eyes looked sleepy. “Ad break finished.”
“Okay, fifth award of the night. Best older sister/daughter of the year.” she stood in the low table and said “Am. Thank you to me, for this award. Thank you to my mum and dad for creating me and my baby brother, i wouldn’t be a daughter nor a sister without you, and yada yada yada. Ahm… yeah thanks, love you lots.”
“Woo!” said Y/n quietly.
“But the final and most competitive one. The best parent of the year…”
“Oh god.” Y/n gasped and covered her mouth.
“This was a tough one. But after some deliberation the result is.” the iPad’s sound went down a half, but it still played. “It was a tie. Y/n and Harry Styles-Y/l/n are the best parents.”
“That’s so cute.” Y/n left Danny laying on the couch. “Thanks, sunshine.”
“We did a great job in here.” Harry whispered in her ear before kissing her neck. His hands rounded her waist and gave her a side hug. Soon after Melody joined the hug.
That memory filled their brains and their phones’.

Mums don’t cry
Tumblr media
Summary: Y/n’s mood changes and sicknesses happen to be more than just that.
lmao i don’t know why i put that tittle, but The Cure rules.
Content: soft husband!harry :DD pregnant afab!reader, use of she/her, mention of food and vomit (pregnancy symptom), la la land spoilers(?) and that’s it ig.
Disclaimer: English is not my first lenguaje so if there’s any mistake i’m sorry, i’ll try to correct it.
“No, i’m staying with Y/n, she’s not been feeling good. Enjoy though, oh! And bring some tiramisu.”
“ ’M sorry, H” she said struggling to stand up from the bathroom’s floor.
“No, no, there’s nothing to be sorry ‘bout. Now come here, i’ll help you clean yourself and we can go watch a movie. You said that watching Ryan Gosling everywhere made you want to bing his movies.” Harry kneeled in front of her offering his hand.
“Mhm” Y/n said without any sign of excitement. Her hand reached the toilet’s chain and released her sickness before lean into the sink and wash her mouth a total of four times.
“Think that enough, you’re gonna get sick again if you keep pulling the brush all the way down your throat.” he chuckled taking the brush out of her hand.
“Wait, throw it in the trash, please.” she said before shoving some more water in her mouth.
“But it’s clean.”
“It’s not, but i’ve had it for over 3 months.”
“Okay miss.”
“It’s Missus, Mister.”
“You feeling better, Missus?”
“I think, it was probably all the crap i’ve been eating.”
“The holidays are for something, don’t you think?”
“I guess.” her mood “I’m sorry.”
“I told you, you don’t have to…”
“No, i’m sorry for being so grumpy this past few days, i don’t know what’s happening.” she said as some tears began to accumulate in her eyes and her head goes to her husband’s chest.
“Oh, honey, don’t worry, it was part of our vows, being here through thick and thin, right?” he grabbed her cheek and smiled warmly, with her blurry vision she just saw a charming white downward D but she returned it.
“Love you.”
“Love you too.”
“Now you can see me fantasize with Ryan Gosling.”
“No problem, i’ll do the same.”
They giggled like toddlers and went to the kitchen for some snacks.
“Some popcorn will do it?” said Harry grabbing a package of microwave popcorn.
“Yeah, although is there a peanut butter and chocolate? i’ve been craving some of it.”
“Hm, we have a package of truffles but no peanut butter…”
“It’s okay, all perfect.”
“Well, what do you think of you picking the first movie and i’ll be there when these are ready.”
“Okay.” she gave him a peck kiss. “This is like the honeymoon all over again.” and began to walk to the lounge.
“I hope we never leave that stage.” Harry said loudly making sure she heard. She blew him a kiss and sat on the couch.
Y/n grabbed her phone to google in which platform was La La Land on. She didn’t even knew if the villa’s TV had more than 3 streaming services.
“Already picked one?”
“I’m checking where is it.”
“I bring you some water, i like my woman hydrated.”
He let out a little laugh “Thanks, love.”
They snuggled in the middle of the couch and concentrate in enjoying the movie.
Everything went well, they got to the point in the movie that showed what would’ve happened if they had ended up together.
Harry made a pout, watching the montage of the couple having a kid, but beside him Y/n began to sob, but in a concerning way.
“Everything okay, love?”
“Y-yeah, it just...” she went quiet to hear the final notes of song that Sebastian was playing in his bar. And led out another sob. “It’s so sad, because they loved each other, b-but they couldn’t make their dreams come true if the stayed together a-and they will always love each other…”
“It’s okay” Harry couldn’t help but feel a mixture of concern and a little bit, just a bit, of fun, watching her being so invested in a movie that they’ve watched several times. “Sometimes that’s how life goes.”
“What a bullshit life we live in.” He audibly laughed at that, remembering the joker memes, she also laughed “Okay, i heard it.”
And just like that she was laughing like anything happened.
“Wanna see another movie?”
“I don’t know, ‘m tired.”
“Wanna go to bed?”
“Yes please.”
When they were getting up of the couch Y/n felt sick again, she ran to the nearest bathroom and let it all out. That took Harry by surprise, one moment he was folding the blanket they where using and talking about other movies and the other he was grabbing his wife’s hair.
“Don’t know what’s happening to me, H. It feels like something more.” she rested her back into the cold wall opposite to the toilet
She recalled when she was sweaty and exhausted she blamed italy’s sun, when her mood changed drastically she blamed her personality, when she felt disgust out of nowhere and ended up vomiting she blamed the food and spices she was not used to, but everything as a whole was sign of other thing.
“Like what?” Harry said concerned thinking of the worst.
“I-i… i’ve been feeling weird lately and all my symptoms are, you know, hm, signs of pregnancy.”
“… Like what?” he repeated too shocked to say other thing.
“Mood change, um, craving could be described, the constant exhaustion, vomit…”
“Want me to go for a test?”
“What if paps catch you?”
“Who cares about them?” he said excitedly, this could be one of the happiest days of his life, and he couldn’t wait.
“Pr team, probably.” Y/n said tired.
“Well, I think they’ll understand. You’ll be good on your own? O could ask one of the guys to get a test on their way here.”
“I’ll be good, also we aren’t certain if i’m… pregnant, don’t want to alarm anyone and I’m pretty sure they’ll be back ‘till midnight.”
“You’re right. Well, i’ll be right back, honey.”
“Thanks.”
Harry literally sprinted to the nearest corner store as soon a he closed the villa’s door. Not caring of anything else, he ran through a fairly small business, not more than 5 minutes away, or that what he felt, until he viewed the boxes he was so desperate for, he grabbed three different ones and ran to the cash register, an old man smiled kindly at him. The interaction was short but cute.
When Harry grabbed the tests the man said to him "Buona fortuna." (good luck). With Harry's poor italian he said "Grazie" and ran back to Y/n.
"That was quick" Y/n was waiting by the door when he arrived.
"I always am, hun…” Harry said out of breath.
Y/n laughed and grabbed the bruised boxes from his hands. "I'm nervous"
"There's nothing to be nervous about, love."
"Well, then, there I go." she let a loud shaky breath and entered the bathroom again.
"Love you."
"Love you too." her voice muffled by the door.
Harry was also nervous, but in a good way nervous, what a good timing, he thought, they been wanting to start a family since last year, well, since forever, but actively trying ever since. He remembered the doctor appointments, the times they had sex just because an app told them to, and the disappointment in their faces when the test were negative, over and over again. And now, they were the happiest they've been, he just finished love on tour, Y/n finished her second book and taking a vacation with all their friends and family.
"Har...ry, come in, please." he did so immediately.
"Everything okay?" his voice was shaky. The tests were all perfectly lined up on a counter all of them facing down.
"Yes, I wanted you to be here." she was crying again, but the smile in her face denoted happiness and anxiety.
"Remember that no matter what the tests say, we'll be fine, and keep trying if you want."
"Thanks." she muttered hugging him.
"Thank you" he hugged her back kissing her hair.
"Can you check one first, please?"
"Sure"
While still hugging her he picked one of the tests and checked. His heart stopped when there was just one line across the screen.
"Uhm, what does one line means?" he asked, wanting to be in the wrong.
"N-negative..."
Y/n pulled away from the embrace to confirm what Harry was saying.
"It's okay, we got two more left."
"Yeah." Y/n said not really expecting any different result. She grabbed one and Harry the other.
Y/n's test said 'Incinta 2-3 settimane*' And Harry's had two vertical lines.
"Oh god, this one say-"
"My phone! Where is it." Y/n said quickly.
"What?"
"I need a confirmation."
She opened the translator and typed the test's result, it gave 'Pregnant 2-3 weeks'
"Oh my god! What does yours says?"
"That you're pregnant!"
"This one too!" she jumped into her husband's arms rounding his waist with her legs.
"Two out of three." he said shocked.
"I'll take it. Tomorrow we could go to a doctor."
"I can't wait." he said happily.
"Neither can i."
"Thank you, thank you love." he kissed her nose.
"I couldn't have done anything without your contribution, love, thank you too." she cupped his cheek as he laughed.
"Let's go to bed, tomorrow might be a big day.”
Y/n, attached to him in a koala style, and Harry Styles went to the bedroom full of bliss and expectancy for tomorrow.
“Where were you guys all morning? We waited you for breakfast” Gemma said laying on a sun chair near the villa’s pool, where the radiant couple just arrived.
“Uh, went for some air.” Harry responded.
“Oh, how are you feeling, Y/n?”
“Much better.” Y/n smiled widely to her sister-in-law. “I’m going for some water, want some?”
“I’m good, pumping, thanks.”
“Gem?”
“I have some here, thank you, Y/n/n.”
Y/n walked into the kitchen with a happy pace and Harry admired her silhouette in that white dress he loved so much.
“Are you guys high?”
“What?”
“Why are you smiling so much? it’s creepy.”
“We’re happy.” he said jokingly annoyed. “Also, i have something to tell you.”
“Y/n’s pregnant?” Gemma guessed, siting straight and taking her glasses off.
“How’d you know?”
“I didn’t, but the pregnancy tests in the bathroom gave me an idea. Congratulations!” the siblings hugged tightly.
“Thank you!”
“You’re finally becoming a dad. Ahh!”
“I know, ahh!”
“Why are you screaming like hyenas in cocaine?”
“Y/n, congrats, darling.” Gemma hugged her.
“Oh Gemma, thanks.”
“You’ll be the greatest parents and i’m gonna be the greatest aunt.”
The three laughed. “I’m pretty sure you’ll be, Gem”

3rd person narrator
2018
Y/n was back in Holmes Chapel with her parents and sister. And her whole family will arrive soon to their home for the December holidays.
If you’d ask her, she would tell you that this wasn’t her plan of passing the christmas holidays. She wanted to go out, but she already promised her mum that she’d be there to help.
Right now she was, like a teenager, planning in escaping through the window of her childhood bedroom and go to a bar.
She was having a hard time pretending to be okay. After the her split with Harry, they only talked once, to agree how to lift her things from their home to sell the it. She paused her work activities, her whole life was in pause for this horrible situation.
“Y/n?” the voice of her mum muffled through the door.
“Now i go.”
“We need some stuff from the store.”
“I’ll go, don’t worry” she got up quickly, wanting a distraction from her overthinking, also not wanting to be help in the kitchen. She found her mum at her door.
“Thank you, darlin’ ”she said sweetly and hugged her before accompanying her to the front door. Y/n was mummy’s girl. And also a little daddy’s girl…
When Y/n finally arrived to the market she saw a pair of familiar silhouettes, she hoped to the universe that it was just a vision trick and tried to continue her shopping.
“Y/n/n?”
“Shit…” she whispered to the cereal in front of her, then turned around giving a sympathetic smile. “Hi!”
“How are you darlin’?” Anne said giving her a hug.
“I’m good, thank you. What ‘bout you?”
“Oh, i’m good as well, with the last minute shopping.”
“Yeah. I get it” Y/n laughed pointing to her cart.
“Is your mum with you?”
“No, i’m on my own”
“Oh, that a shame, i was hoping to say hi to her, we haven’t had time to talk.”
“I’ll tell her”
“Thanks, sweety”
“No problem” A not so awkward silence settle in the group of women. “Oh. Am… I must rush, my mum‘s gonna be mad. It was great to see you girls.”
“It was great seeing you, darlin’ ”
“Yeah, nice seeing you, Y/n/n.” Gemma said clearly uncomfortable, same.
And then she wanted to cry, this was probably the last interaction that she was going to have with this women, that she saw as sister and second mother respectively.
“Yes. Great. Have a nice day, amm, and happy christmas.”
“You too!”
Harry’s POV
2018
I was waiting in the car, listening to the new sample of a new song from the new album.
It’s been probably an hour and i don’t see my sister and mum wanting to leave any time soon. I’m bored. I’m sad. I’m feeling like shit, basically.
I didn’t expect that i’ll be sitting all alone in an almost empty parking lot in christmas eve. What i expected was watching my family creating chaos trying to have everything set for the dinner, with laughs, jokes, anecdotes and fun.
I expected to be with Y/n, talking about the wedding plans, our projects, us. Then i started crying, for second time of the day.
Now this is my life like. Wake up, cry, being forced to do something by Gemma, cry again ‘cause i do everything wrong and sleep.
The muffled voice of my sister and mother passed gently through the car.
“She looks sad.”
“Mum, i love you, but stop it. We don’t know what’s going on.”
“Yeah, but, i wanted to tell her how… is. They could talk”
“Anne. No. They are adults, they’ll know what’s the best for them.”
“They clearly don’t.”
“Excuse me?”
“Shh… we’ll talk later.”
They entered the car. “Everything’s okay?”
“Yes.” Gemma said simply.
“What was that?” I asked.
“What was what?” my sister let out a nervous chuckle. “Can we go?”
“Am… well. What were you talking about?” I started the car.
“Oh, that… It-It’s nothi-”
“We found Y/n/n on the market.”
“Mum!” Gemma yelled looking back at her.
“Oh. Y/n/n like… Y-Y/n Y/n?”
“Yeah, that’s not important right now. We have to start preparing the food. Let’s go.”
“I didn’t know she was back home.”
“You knew it well, Harry.”
“D’you think’s a good idea to go to talk to her? You know, for our- uhm, the apartment situation.” I ignored the comment, understanding how stupid my question was in the first place.
“No.”
“Yes!”
“Why not Gemma?” I said, slightly offended, i don’t know why.
“We know you do not just want to talk about the apartment.”
“What’s the problem with that?”
“That’s gonna hurt you, and her too.”
“What?”
“I just think the wound it’s still very fresh.”
Just when i was about to give her the reason, mum interrupted.
“It’s good for you guys to talk, alone.”
“Yeah…” I said.
“No! What would you talk about?”
I didn’t responded.
“Exactly, mum, let him make his decisions on his own.”
“You just told me to not go to talk to Y/n/n.” I argued to my sister.
“Alright, then do whatever you want, i was just giving you some advice.”
“Me too.” said mum.
I sat there for a moment, thinking what would be the best option, i understood and kinda agreed with Gemma, but also wanted to see her.
A girl with two bags was walking to the only other car in the lot, a guy was following her with two other tote bags.
I could definitely tell who the girl was, even if i only saw her back.
“Now i come.” I quickly took off my belt and got out of the car.
“Thank you, Matt.” I haven’t heard her bounce in so long.
“There’s no problem. It was nice to catch up. Nice day, Y/n/n” he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
“You too!” He started to walk away.
I walked closer to them. Her back was facing me.
“Hey mate! How’re ya?”
Now I recognized him. He is Matt, we were in school together, with Y/n too. He gives me a friendly hug.
“Hi man. Good, you?” I said nervous.
“I’m great! Heading to home to help. The dad life’s tough.”
“Woah, congratulations, i’ll have to meet them.”
“Of course, will be great. We should also have a drink one day, like a double date.”
“Sorry?”
“You and Y/n/n and me and my girlfriend.” he said confused, pointing her with his thumb.
“Oh. Y-yeah.” I was about to tell him the truth, but it was too much, not the time. “Sounds great.”
“Perfect. Have to go, see you?”
“Definitely. Bye, nice day.” He gave me a slight slap in the back and walked away.
I was taken aback by the conversation, it was a signal that i shouldn’t go after Y/n?
“Harry?”
Or maybe not.
“Yeah?” I said stopped overthinking. I saw her, she looked tired but so angelic at the same time, the light behind her definitely helped that image.
“A-am… hi.”
“Hi.” I smiled.
“Are you okay?”
“Mhm…” she looked at me with concern. Did i looked bad? “y-yes.”
“D’you want me to call your mum o…or Gemma?”
“Uh… no? They’re in t-the car.”
“Oh, okay. Well.” she said awkwardly, great. “I should get going. Goodbye, Harry.”
“Am… Can we talk? Not now if you don’t want to, b-but maybe later? I’ll be here for some weeks…” I offered her an smile. She reciprocated it.
“Uh… I’ll check my agenda” She doesn’t have one. I let out a giggle looking at the floor, she must’ve notice. “Don’t be surprised, Styles, i have one.”
“I didn’t said anything.” I smiled again, she did too, wider this time. God i missed this.
“Your number’s still the same?” Bold. Just like i remembered.
I nodded.
“Okay, i’ll call you then.”
“I’ll be waiting for it.” She nodded again.
“Happy christmas to all over there.”
“Thanks, same for your family”
“Thanks.”
“Bye” I smiled even more.
“Bye.” she muttered with a little smirk.
She got into her car and before starting her car she said goodbye with her hand, then she left.
I punched the air in bliss spinning in my feet. It was the same reaction that i had when we had our first kiss. Thing could be like before… no. Are going to be better.
“What happened?” my mum asked exited.
“I think i have a chance to make up everything.”
“Another one?” Gemma laughed sourly.
“Gemma.”
“Okay. Good for you H. Don’t mess it up this time.”
“I won’t.” My smile was not going to leave my face anytime soon.
Y/n’s POV
2018
Stupid Harry and his charms.
“What took you so long?” Was the first thing i heard when i entered the house, my sister groaning.
“She’s here. That’s what matters. Honey, help her with some bags.”
My dad grabbed the two bags that i had in my hands and offered me a smile.
“It must been very busy.” Said my mum when we were going to get the other two bags.
“No, just, some… unexpected encounters. Ah, Anne says hi. And uh… Harry says merry christmas.”
“Harry?” she said shocked for obvious reasons.
“Yeah…”
“How?”
“Uh… the faith?”
“Oh, sweetie. That must been pretty hard.” she hugged me.
“It was really good actually. We probably talk soon.”
My mum gives me a look that i can read. “Oh, okay.”
“D’you think it’s not a good idea?”
“No… you know what you do and… if that makes you happy it’s okay to me.”
“But i want your advice.”
“I honestly don’t trust him anymore.”
“Why?” I asked genuinely curious.
“I just… think that he takes you for granted. It has happened more than once.”
“Being honest, i’ve thought about that as well.”
“I think he has to do some reality check.”
“Okay. Well, he probably has done it now?”
“I don’t know honey. I really hope so, i do think you two are soulmates.”
I nervously chucked. I’ve thought that too.
“Maybe.”
“But, it’s not time for that, now, help me here.”
We entered the house with everything.
“How can i help?”
“Go to the office and wrap the grift, please” answered my sister.
“Yes ma’am.”
“Ugh, you have become way too american.”
“I know, it sucks.”
“Go.”
“ ‘Right, on my way.”
This is depressing. Maybe it was not the best idea, but i don’t care, i have the christmas melancholy.
“Hello?”
“Am… hey Harry, It’s Y/n.”
“Oh, hi. How’re you there?”
“Honestly, a little bored.”
“Yeah, me too. I can’t help in anything.”
“Why? You’re a great chef.”
“They won’t let me, I’m here in the couch.”
“Uh, great. I’m wrapping some presents.” i left a small chuckle.
“You?” He said with disbelief.
“What do you mean with by me?”
“You’re not the greatest with crafts.”
“Ouch? For your information i’m doin’ a great job.”
“That’s good to know… Am, don’t to sound harsh but can i help you in anythin’?”
“Well, distract me from the boredom…” I’m so stupid.
“I’m always glad to help.”
“And to ask you when you are free to… talk.”
“I’m always free fo’ you.”
“Too flirty, Styles.”
“No! I wasn’t trying anything…”
“It’s okay. But really, when?”
“We could go to the cafe down the street of the church on Wednesday?”
“Perfect, in the morning’s good for you?”
“Yes.”
“It’s a plan.”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“Good.”
“Great.” i laughed quietly. Probably neither of of wanted to hang up.
“Am… would you mind accompanying’ me in this nightmare? I just ripped a whole sheet of Peppa pig patterned paper. Kara’s gonna kill me.”
He laughed out loud. “Kara’s too sweet for that, plus she hates Peppa.”
“But loves George and now a multiple of them don’t have a head.”
“It also had George?”
I wish that I could get this everyday of the rest of my life, and maybe i could still happen. I really want that.

2018
Y/n was up very early in the morning casually jogging around a few neighbor houses, concentrated in dissect the new album she recently bought.
Meanwhile, Harry was coaching himself and also practicing every possible answer he could use in the mirror.
The two of them were nervous about their appointment not so later that day, non of them really knew what was it for.
“I’m going out, I’ll be right back.”
“Be careful, Harry.”
“I know mum. Love you.”
“Love you.”
Harry walked at a leisurely pace, knowing he was almost half an hour early. He thought of all the possible inputs for a conversation about their relationship, but also overthinking about what would you want to talk about.
«What if she doesn’t want to go back? What if she's over it? Does she is tired of me?»
“Mornin’! How can i help you?” a guy on the other side of the counter.
“Hi, uh… i would like a dark coffee…” should i order for Y/n/n? “And an iced coffee with oat milk please.”
“They’ll be ready in a minute.”
“Thanks.”
He waited one of the benches sitting outside of the little place, bouncing his leg up and down. There was only a few people around at this hour, all of them minding their own business. He had nothing better to do, so he was watching them although didn’t recognized a lot of them. A few waves later the coffees were ready, and his date if you want to call her like that, arrived.
“Hi”
“Hey… do you have a lot of time here?”
“No…” Yes. “I jus’ arrive.”
“Oh, okay.”
“Here, uh, i ordered for you. I hope doesn’t bother you.”
“Thanks! Ah, does it has oat…”
“Oat milk? Yes.”
She smiled looking to the ground.
«You’re making it a difficult task to play it cool, Styles.»
“Do you want to take a seat, there’s a table for two.”
“Yes please, i’m exhausted.”
“What’s that for?”
“The daily run, remember?”
“Yeah, you still do it? I thought you hated it.” he smiled.
“I hated to always have paparazzi around.”
“Me too, sorry.”
“It’s not your fault…”
“Kinda.”
“Well, yes.” she smiled too.
“How was your christmas?”
“Ah, I can’t really tell you, i had a whiskey bottle in my bedroom, don’t really remember much of it.”
“What? Really? But weren’t you on med…”
“I’m joking Harry. Jesus… Do you really think that of me.” She faked an offended tone, Harry’s worries want partly gone.
“I don’t know…” he chuckle as a gasp scaled the lips of Y/n. “Mines were okay.”
“Yeah, that’s the perfect description.”
“Our call made it better, though…” Harry muttered while he was watching his coffee cup as if it was super interesting.
“Ah… We already started with the hints.”
“Well…”
“What do you wanted to talk about.” Y/n pressed her knee up to her chest.
“About the apartment.”
“Really? I already told you to take it, do whatever you want with it.” Her tone had some disappointment aside with annoyance.
“Okay, I also wanted to talk about us, i don’t think we even make our… break up official?” those words broke him, he didn’t want to make it official.
“You wanna make it official?”
“Uh…” Was she giving him a chance? “No.”
“Okay.”
“Okay?”
“I’ve thought about us. I would also want to try it again… I mean… I guess you want it too.”
“Of course.” Harry leaned on the table and put his hands on it. He never left her eyes.
“But i want you to promise that you’re a hundred percent sure that you’re gonna be as invest in this as me, i think that’s what failed…”
“Definitely.”
“I want you to answer me more than monosyllables. We both failed in something not just one of us, I already told you what i think went wrong, tell me what you think, i want to know, please.”
“Well.. Uhm. I think out schedules have been rough since, you know, the band and your degree… We could organize our lives together, and the commitment as well.” He was nervous, didn’t know why.
“Okay, thanks for telling me…” she grabbed her hand around his. “I agree with you…”
“So… would you like to work in this, together.”
“Yes.”
The rest of the days, no, weeks, no, almost months. They passed their days like the teenagers they once were, but always having in mind to have more maturity, or that’s what they said.
It was undeniable that they still love each other with all their hearts.
“H…” Her lips were attached to his.
“Yes?” He mumbled against her gloss covered lips.
Y/n moved her head and lay it on his chest, hugging him.. “We should go.”
Her hair smelled like his shampoo. “Why? It’s so calm here…”
“You sound like a child.” She laughed.
“I’m feeling like one.” He looked it the sunset.
“It’s a nostalgic day…”
“Also. But this, being here, with you, the view, everythin’. I would like to freeze in this moment forever.”
“That so cheesy…” She could felt the vibration from his chest by his laughter.
“Thanks, love.”
“No problem, bae.”
“Okay, you officially ruined it.”
“Wu! Let’s go, i want to go to the new pub.”
“Okay, let’s go.”

Harry Styles x Reader
Inspired/based by the Arctic Monkeys’ song by the same name.
Content: Fluff to Angsty. Use of people to move on? Really shity environment. Use of Y/n. Use of she/her pronouns, sorry :(
Disclaimer: English is not my first lenguaje so if there’s any mistake i’m sorry, i’ll try to correct it. Don’t mind the face claims, they are just for illustrative purposes xd. Also, some dates are mixed up, so the real life time line would be a little bit affected.
3rd person narrator.
2010
Y/n and Harry were their lifetime sweethearts. That’s what everyone around them said.
They were inseparable, always sat next to each other in class when they had the opportunity. Always were their prom date. Always at each others house. Even convince their parents to make last minute changes to their summer vacations, just to be together.
Since they were kids, they had a sweet spot for one another. With the time, their innocent and adorable relationship had evolved into a less platonic one, still very adorable though.
As teenagers do, they started exploring new forms of seeing the world around them, including the relationships they have, re-evaluating everything about them. Including their close friendship, of course.
Harry started watching his friend into a more intense way, you could say. Starting with more superficial stuff like her physique. For example: her face wasn’t so round now, although he kind of misses her puffy red cheeks. Or her new style, with more experimental outfits that make her shine, as well as her body.
But what really made him fell head over heals for her was her new empowerment. When she was younger, she was shy and passive, always giving in for people choices over her. People perceived it as kindness and sweetness, but Harry knew her, knew how sometimes she wanted to speak out loud and protest, but always was afraid of what they will say. Over the course of years of ‘fake it 'till you make it’ and self improvement, she finally doesn’t care about the destructive opinions of other, having a lot of confidence in herself.
On the other hand Y/n also founded herself in a dilemma about Harry Edward Styles. How his sweet personality made her feel loved and wanted, important. How he was in her process of improving her self esteem and always was there to help, not only her, but others. And speaking of physical appearance, he also changed, his jaw was prominent now, he was getting more and more tall everyday.
“What’re you thinkin’ about?” his deep voice interrupted her string of thought.
“You know, the immortality of the crab” she put her head back on his shoulder, which shook a little bit as he let out a chuckle. They were watching to the nothing from her bedroom’s window.
“I wanna to tell you something.” Harry’s voice sounded unsure for a second. Y/n raised her head again, watching his eyes, before she could said anything he continued “Please, please promise me that you’re not going to get upset”
“What did you do Styles?” she joked, but he didn’t laughed at that. “ ‘S everything okay?” she asked in a more serious tone.
“Yeah, yeah, everything’s alright. It’s just… I-I” he let a pause to reorder his sentence. “We’ve been friend for a long time-”
“Y/n/n! Omg look!” Y/n’s sister entered with no warning. She erupted from the door and practically jumped to the bed, getting between Harry and Y/n.
Her older and only sister was holding her phone with the biggest smile you could see in someone, ear to ear.
“Why’d you look like the Joker?” Y/n laughed, Harry also let out a quiet laugh.
“Shush, look! Oh, hey Harry” the other one greet friendly. Harry only shook his head.
“Am. What am I suppose to look?”asked the younger in the room asked.
“Remember Walter, the guy you gave me advise for?”
“Oh, okay, this is Walt.”
“Yeah, he asked me out!”
“Yep, I see.”
“And all because of you! Than you, thank you!”
“No problem, always here to help, baby girl.” Y/n brushed her fist with her chin giving and wink. Harry wanted to laugh out loud so hard since moment one, but this killed him.
“I should start planning what to wear”
“Definitely!” everyone and everything in that room could see the sarcasm in Y/n’s voice, expect for her sister, apparently. Y/n wasn’t trying to be rude, well, a little, but she was annoyed of always hearing her sister only talking about boys. She could talk about girls also, Y/n thought.
Like her sister entered that’s how she went out of it.
“What were you trying to tell me again? Sorry about her” she directed her eye towards his.
“Uhm, nothing, it was nothing.”
“I don’t think so… tell me.” she began to insist. She was curious.
“No” he said calmly.
“Tell me.” again, this time she got up from the bed.
“No…” he said unsure of her next move.
“Tell… me…” she was getting close to him again, with a pillow, which he didn’t realized when or where did she grab it.
“No…” he let out a nervous chuckle. Getting further into the bed.
“You’re gonna get that attitude with me, huh, Styles?”
“What are you taking’ about” he said laughing.
“Come here.” she also got into the bed, being on top of him. She forgot about the pillow, beginning to tickle Harry. Both giggling, every now and then screaming. Very open to interpretation, to be fair.
“Stop it. Sto-op” he begged laughing, obviously.
“No, ‘till you tell me what were you were about to tell me.” her breathing was heavy, for the laugh and for the activity.
“Agh, all-right” laugh “just let me g-o”
“Okay” she raises from her core, didn’t realizing she still was straddling him.
He let a deep sigh laying in the bed, putting his hands over his forehead looking at the ceiling. That catches Y/n’s full attention. “I’ve been thinking ‘bout a lot of things-“
“What in the hell‘s going on here?”
“For fuck sake!”
“Y/n!”
“Mum!”
“Harry?”
“Mum?”
“Both of you, get out of that bed.”
It was their mothers. Anne and your mum. They were at the fully open door, with dropped jaws. Now they realized the compromising position in which they were found.
“I-It’s not what it lo-looks like” A very flustered Harry stuttered quickly. Y/n rolled her eyes at the sentence.
“What it was supposed to look like?” you muttered.
“Pardon me?” your mum asked. “You, young lady, don’t realize what you were doing? Here, all alone, with a guy, that you-” she stopped herself before speaking more than she should, Y/n also saw what was about to come if she didn’t stop. “A guy. In your bed?”
“Mum, you know Harry. He’s not just ‘a guy’ you know him and you know me, we wouldn’t to anything.”
Anne and Harry remanded in silence. But the looks that the woman was giving her son were scary enough.
“We just want you to be more respectful. Alright?” Your mum breathed.
“Yeah, okay, we know it.” Y/n said.
“Harry, i think’s time to go home, come on.” Anne said going to the other side of the bed, where the younger ones were.
“I, can you give us a minute? please?” Y/n asked.
Both women looked at each other before shaking their head in signal of a yes. They left, but they didn’t fully close the door.
Now the young ones were laughing and laughing and they couldn’t stop.
“I’m so so sorry.”
“It’s not your fault, in any case i should be thankful.”
“Why?”
“You know, you ‘defended’ me with your mum”
“My mum loves you, what are you taking’ about? She probably loves you more than me. It was just the hotness of the situation, i don’t know.”
“Right. Uhm.” he scratched the back of his neck “i think I have to go, see you later.” he was leaning to give his goodbye cheek kiss when Y/n pulled away shaking her head in disapproval. That made Harry froze.
“Tell me, please, I don’t care if it’s a silly thing, it won’t let me sleep at night” she laughed once again.
“Exactly it’s somethin’ silly, it doesn’t matter.” he shrugged it off.
“Tell. Me. I give you 8 seconds ir i will not talk to you tomorrow at school.”
“Seriously?”
“Mhm.”
“You know how to play, Y/n…” she started counting with her fingers. “Okay, don’t hate me, but…” another second passed by “I-I th-think i’m… in love with you” he started slowly, and the it was light speed, Eminem speed. “No. No.” at this point Y/n wasn’t counting anymore. “That doesn’t sound correct. I- I am in love with you.”
“What?” she muttered.
“I am in love with you… Y/n.” he said watching to the floor.
“Wow- I…” she was in shock, but she could put herself together to say “I am in love with you too, Harry, since like i don’t know so much time…” she was muttering at the beginning and got a bust of confidence in the middle of the sentence.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
The stare at each other for a couple of seconds.
“Then what are we waiting?” Y/n whispered, watching how Harry was leaning towards her.
“Right. Uhm, can I-can I kiss you?” Y/n smiles for a little second for the nervousness of the boy in front of her, she nodded and stand in the tips of her feet, with one hand wrapping sweetly Harry’s cheek and the other was in the nape of his neck.
He has a shit eating grin with the touch, he mimicked the move of the girl, cupping her face with one hand while on the other hand, literally, he let it levitate to her back.
With a clumsy beginning they started a sweet kiss, they understood each other pretty quickly. They wished they could stay like that for a little while, but the knock on the door let them know it could be in another occasion.
“Harry?”
“I’m coming mum…!”
“Go, i’ll see you later.” Y/n encouraged Harry to go giving him a peek, being new to that sensation.
“Yeah. Bye. See. You. At. School.” with every pause he let a kiss on Y/n’s face.
That summer was unforgettable for the both of them. They experienced so many new and exiting things together and apart that made them feel like the wanted to eat the world in one bite. They just had sixteen, but the felt so much older.
Then Harry got signed up for the X Factor by his mum. Y/n was so excited to see him perform his undeniable talent.
And after some months of uncertainty, One Direction was founded. It still was a shock for everyone. Now they were talking about recording an album and selling it and doing a tour, that with luck will be all around the world. That was obviously exiting, right.
To Y/n that was a daydream, even though she has almost nothing to do with the situation. She was exited for Harry.
Harry was as exited as Y/n, but also, thinking a lot about it, he would have to be apart, like completely apart for the people he loved the most for a very long time. He didn’t know any better than his girlfriend, friends and family, so he had to learn.
Harry’s POV
2013
I was stuck in my hotel room doing nothing. I was bored, and I could just easily sneak up into some of the boys’ rooms, but I just wanted some comfort. The type of company that is warming, and home-like.
“Hey, mate.” said Louis entering through the door. He never called me that, we are not 30.
“Hi.” I returned my gaze to the ceiling.
“‘S everything ‘lright? his accent sometimes could become very thick.
“Yeah, all good.”
“Are you sure?” that was not Louis’ voice anymore, it was more high pitched and sweet. I quickly get up knowing that voice perfectly.
“Y/n/n” I run towards her, picking her up while hugging her. God I missed this. I could hear an ‘Ouh’ from her, I almost make us fell over Louis, who was just behind her.
“Sorry Lou” Y/n apologized leaving the embrace for a slight second.
“Ah, ‘s okay, just don’t start fucking in front of me, lovebirds.” he said. “Now, I’ll let you guys catch up. Uh, and Harry, they wan’ us in the back lobby in an hour, don’t be late.”
“Yeah, thanks Louis. See you” We shared a side embrace, since Y/n was in cuddled up in my left arm. She sent a kiss towards him, he catches it and threw it to the trash can, Y/n/n gives him the middle finger.
“Hi.” I said.
“Hello, Mr. Bandana boy.” she smiled passing her hand through my hair, that I was letting grow.
“D’you like it?”
“I love it.”
“Thanks, m’girlfriend asked me to let it grow.” I said sitting down on the edge of the bed, I pulled her between my legs hugging her hips.
“She has such a good taste...” Her hand left soft touches all over my hair.
“I know, she’s a genius”
“I agree with you.”
She was fixated with my hair, I just stared at her while she is distracted.
“Hey” I whisper. She hums in response. “hey…” I drag my try to make her look at me. “Can you give me a kiss?”
“Sure” she says before smiling widely and leaning down to meet my lips. I felt like it was forever since the last time i felt like this, when it was probably less than a month ago. I feel my face warm up, my stomach tightened, i felt like the butterfly on my chest was about to fly out. “I’ve missed you.” Our forehead were together, our eyes looked funny being like this.
“I’ve missed you too.” I laughed.
“I know.”
“Nice” she giggled.
“How have you’ve been?” she sat down next to me.
“I’m ‘kay.”
“Are you sure?” she repeated her first sentence in this room.
“Yeah, and now that you are here with me i’m perfect.”
“You’re so silly sometimes.”
“And you love it.”
“Yeah, I have a thing for goofballs”
“Well, thanks. How have you’ve been? I feel like we haven’t talked in forever.” And it was true, with my weird and tight schedule and her university and projects we barely talked outside our daily good morning and good night messages.
“Yeah… but you have me this week, and the next one.” she said kissing my cheeks.
“Oh, I’m so so so lucky” I said exaggerating.
“Okay, then bye” before she could stand up, I hugged her waist pulling her towards me.
“No. You’re trapped now.” I laughed to her mute scream as I pushed her to the big mattress.
“I’m gonna fall off the bed” she exclaimed.
“I got ya, love.”
We stare at each other for a while. But it was enough of the corny stuff.
“Now, let’s make up the time apart.” I shoot an exaggerated wink.
“You have less than 20 minutes, hun” she said sassy.
“I jus’ need 3, don’t worry ‘bout it.” she laughed so hard I laughed at my own joke too, or it was more for her laugh.
Y/n’s POV
2018
“Please, answer…” It was the 7th call in the last hour or so. But nothing. Directly to voice mail.
Then I heard the door of the apartments open. I got into my robe and walked to the loud noise.
First it was the sound of the keys hitting the glass table, then the fight with the shoes to take them of, and the a curse.
“Agh, stupid shit” he said. I was so mad, but seeing him safe was a relief.
“Good morning Harry.” I said. Clearly upset.
“Hello, Y/n.” He said in the same tone before letting out a dumb chuckle, he was drunk.
“Oh, please welcome! D’you need something? A coffee, or an aspirin, maybe?”
“Nah, ‘m alright, thank you.” now he was staggering towards the couch. If I heard that condescending tone one more time…
“Oh, good, good to know you are okay. Thank you very much.”
“Yeh, now, can you let me sleep, please?” Oh god.
I wanted to yell on the spot, but now i was just gonna have no response, so i take a deep breath and went to bed again.
The next morning was like any other one in the past few months, i woke up in an empty bed. I was tired even thought i just woke up. I knew what was coming up, and i didn’t want to step out of the bed.
I was in the bathroom washing my face. Today was the day. I was going to give him the ultimatum.
It’s been months since Live on Tour ended, i supposed that Harry would be enjoying his time home, with his family, friends and, well, me. But it looks like he’s still in the chip of partying and wild rockstar life. At the beginning i was kind of okay with that but when he kept living as if he was single, not in a way of cheating, as far as i know, but neglecting that he has someone that is waiting for him at home, that’s what upsets me.
I’ve been staying up whole nights worried about Harry. He’s not a ‘normal’ guy, he is a world wide known celebrity and most importantly, my fiancé.
I went up to the kitchen counter for a cup of coffee that i definitely needed. I saw a the back of a messy hair sticking out of the couch. He was looking to the nothing, with a cup of coffee, a glass of water and some aspirins on the coffee table.
“Morning’ ” i said calmly. He turned his head in my direction.
“Hello, love.” he said under his breath, i saw a hint of shame in his attitude, i was hoping he understood the meaning behind our fight.
“Are you feeling good?” i asked. He went up from the couch and walk to the counter, right next to me.
“I don’t know how you do it.” he put me into an embrace from my waist. His head was in my neck.
“What’re you taking about?” i giggled lightly, i couldn’t be upset at the moment.
“You know…” he let moment of silence, thinking. “being… patient with me…” he started kissing and biting “and so good, so beautiful… so sexy...” what.
I immediately took off pushing him from his shoulders. I looked at him directly in the eyes, frowning “What?”
“What? What?” he joked. I shook my head saying no and returned my body to face the counter.
“You don’t know why I am upset, do you?” i began to play with the only ring in my finger.
“Are you upset?”
“Yes, Harry, I am upset. Thank you for noticing.”
“Did somethin’ happened at work?” Was he fucking serious?
“Unbelievable.”
“No, wait. Is it because I was out yesterday? Nothin’ happened, it was a band thing.”
“I don’t care about that, Harry. I wouldn’t mind if you drank all the bar or kissed every person out there, ‘cause i’m fucking done.”
“What are you saying’?” his tone had a bit of panic and another bit of anger.
“This Harry. Whatever this turned into.” i couldn’t look at him. “It’s been like, what? Three months, tell me, have we have eat together once, have we even talked more than ten minutes? I don’t know nothing ‘bout your tour, you don’t know nothing about this past months, and you don’t seem interested at all.”
“I’m no interested? What about you! Always stayin’ at home, never wanting to go out.”
“You have never invited me out since you return. Not in a date. Not in one of you funny little night bar adventures, saying that where ‘band things’. Even Sarah invited me over sometimes.”
“Then why didn’t you go?”
“Because if you, my partner, didn’t tell me about it was obvious that you didn’t want me there”
“Of course i wanted you there!”
“Congratulations, i don’t care!” i took a deep breath “I don’t want to fight or yell… I-I don’t think that this is working.” I removed the ring from under the counter.
“Please, tell me it’s not what i’m thinking, you are not giving everything of this up just for some nights out, are you?”
“It’s, not just ‘some nights out’ it’s you neglecting me. I just think if this is gonna be the same every time you tour and i don’t think i could handle it.”
“Then we’ll work on it” he grabbed my hand, the one without a ring on. I’m sure he did noticed, but decided not to comment on it.
“No, you haven’t seen how dysfunctional everything has been since i finished my major?” He shook his head “No you didn’t, you were focused on your album, and i understand, but right now nothing’s stopping you from being here.”
“I’ll do it. I’ll be here”
“Harry… I promised to myself that this would be an ultimatum, i do want to keep being a part of this relationship, i want to do a family with you. But i’m not gonna put my needs and mental peace under the carpet. It’s not worth it, nothing is.” I put the ring on the marble surface. I could hear Harry’s breath began to be faster.
“I understand that, and i promise you that i’m going to fight for this to keep going. Please give me the chance,”
“I’m gonna give it to you.” i simply replied.
“Why are you trying to give me your ring?” he said with shaky voice.
“H… I thought that you would see it. It’s obvious that we are not ready for a compromise as big as it’s being engaged.”
“We’ve been together for eight years, Y/n!”
“Okay, let’s calm down.” I don’t want yelling.
“You don’t want to get married, ‘s that it?”
“Harry.”
“No. It seems so convenient to me that when you’re about to go back to London for that… work opportunity… you magically try to return me this.”
“Harry, that was, like, half a year ago.” I couldn’t believe how quickly he was fucking this up. He looked at me, he was thinking the same. He tried to excuse his comment. “No, i’ve heard enough.” I began to walk trough the house, with him following me immediately. I blasted into the bedroom.
“Wait. Y/n.”
I didn’t responded. I entered into the closet, making sure that i closed it with lock, grabbed a suitcase and began to pack.
“Love”
“Don’t call me that.” I whispered while changing into the first thing that i picked out, a black loose pair of pants and a tank top, not the greatest, not the worst, but i couldn’t care less about that.
Before going out of the closet i picked up my phone, fortunately i had it in my robe’s pocket, as always. I called Nick.
“Y/n/n, please, i’m so sorry. This is exactly what i want to work on.”
“I was about to give you the opportunity, you were the one messin’ it up” I said through the door. Then i opened it, he was sitting in the bed, his elbows in his knees as he passes his hand through his hair, in frustration.
I walked pass him to go to my nightstand, grabbing my journal, my passport and a key.
“W-what’s that?”
“Your new car. Congrats for your album.” I said as dry as i could sound, my childish self wanted that, the hurt in him, like the one he made me feel. I threw the keys to the bed, getting out of there, also hoping that they were enough distraction for him not to reach me out.
I took the elevator until i reached the first floor, on my way down i couldn’t help but started crying, i was about to explote if i didn’t. Then, to get to the ground floor, i used the emergency stairs, exiting the building from the back door.
Just two seconds later there it was Nick, in the black van and his usual suit. “Is everting good, Ms, Y/n?
“Uhm, y…es, thanks.” i said giving him my suitcase.
Then I went to the airport and bought the fist ticket to the UK and fuckin’ go.
