#tbnd blurbs

[trulymadlysydney]

Okay but does Harry ever buy Nova a new toy or a toy to use on her and come over with a box and be like oh babe this came in my mail I think it��s for you awks 😏 because that’s a blurb I’d looove to read👀

OHHHHH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SO FUCKING MUCH

Nova loves when Harry gets this way, although she’ll never admit it.  Currently he stands before her, holding a box out with that god-awful smirk that she adores.  He loves seeing her this way too, all flustered and shy; which is why he gives her this smirk and uses this tone of voice with her whenever possible.

“Babe, you gonna take it?  It’s not mine, and I think it’s pretty awkward that this keeps happening.”  Harry pushes the box further towards her, and she yanks it out of his hands, refusing to meet his eye.  She drops it on the table, rather aggressively, and Harry raises his eyebrows. “Careful, darling.  Might be fragile.”

Nova is smiling, but she still won’t look at Harry.  “You’re an ass.”

He smiles, softening his face just a bit.  “Why?”

“You couldn’t just be normal and like, tell me about this.  You had to do it this way.”

“No, baby, I’m being sincere! It really came to my door when it was supposed to go to yours!”

“Harry, its addressed to you.”

“Oh.”  Harry gives a nonchalant smirk.   “So it is.”

Nova sighs, finally looking up at Harry from under her lashes.  “Are you ever going to let this go?”

“Hey,” he says, taking a step towards her.  “Not my fault you’re kinky.  What you do in your own free time is none of my business.”

“Harry, we’ve been dating for seven months now.”

Harry cocks his head to the side.  “Have we?  Well time flies when you’re having fun.”  He nods his head towards the package on the table.  “Something tells me this might be fun, too.”

[trulymadlysydney]

Nova and Harry update? Has Harry bought her a new toy for them to try or have they had a pregnancy scare or did they go on vacation together?! Give us the deets I miss those babies🥺

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THEM EARLIER, THIS IS SO WEIRD. I feel like every time I think about them I get an anon later that day asking about them!

They’ve definitely explored with more toys, especially ones to try on him.  They both tend to be pretty switchy which works out really well.  They both love being tied up and teased, and luckily for them these moods happen at different times. Also its so much more fun now, since they’ve been dating for a few months and obviously gotten intimate more times than they can count-- they’re over that initial nervousness of “is he/she gonna like this?” and now they try just about anything.  Because the worst case scenario ends with them not liking something and giggling about it so hard they have to stop for a while.   Also they know each other pretty well, so they know every little detail about what the other likes.

At the same time though, they’re still enjoying learning each other and growing individually as well as together.  They’re talking about moving in together next semester (since Jessie got a new job and is going to be moving to Seattle in September!) and it makes Nova nervous how NOT nervous she is-- she never thought she’d be comfortable enough with a partner to do this.

No pregnancy scares yet, they’re super duper careful and they both have sooo many other things they want to accomplish before they even think about settling down and trying to have a family.

Also, they went to Universal Studios earlier this month, because Nova wanted to show Harry ALL OVER Harry Potter world.  He loved it, but he loved watching her geek out over just about everything even more.  (Although they did argue quite a bit about which house was the best.  Nova, a Ravenclaw, and Harry, a Hufflepuff-- according to Nova-- didn’t see eye to eye on that.)

[trulymadlysydney]

Nova and Harry gets a sex swing. I'm calling it.

OH THEY ABSOLUTELY DO.  And they have almost as much fun setting it up as they do using it. 

Because Harry, of course, insists he doesn’t need to instructions.  “How fuckin hard can it be to set up a sex swing, Nova?”

And so while Harry’s struggling to figure out what goes where-- “Why the fuck does this thing have so many fuckin latches?!”-- Nova sits on the bed, watching him with furrowed brows.

“Thanks for your help,” Harry says over his shoulder, clearly grumpy because it turns out that setting up a sex swing is much harder than he’d anticipated.

“You’re supposed to put that brown latch on the other side, Harry.”  Nova’s squinting at the paper directions that she’d fished out of the garbage, because she’d known he was going to need them. “Also I think you’re doing it upside down.”

“Great!” Harry turns to look at her, shaking his head.  “And you’ve waited until now to tell me this?”

“Not my fault you threw the directions away!”

And of course, two minutes later, they’re giggling because of how ridiculous this whole thing is.  And Harry’s rising to his feet to go push her backwards on the bed and pin her down so he can smother her in kisses while she shrieks and giggles.  “You’re so lucky I love you,” he says, kissing her nose.  “This fuckin thing better be worth it.”

[trulymadlysydney]

A blurb on clingy nova please syd!!! Like they could be in bed and she’s trying to nap on h as he traces his fingertips along her back but after a while he says something like “i really need to pee baby” and shes all like nooo and pouty. so cute i cannot

I don’t see Nova getting clingy all that often but when she does, Harry melts.

It happens on late nights when she’s been studying for a test for HOURS and Harry has to practically rip her away from her laptop, constantly reassuring her, “You’ll be fine, Nova, promise.”  

He helps her get ready for bed, and she pouts and clings to him the entire time.  Once under the covers she buries her face in his neck so deeply that he can feel her frown against his skin.  She doesn’t say much on those nights, but Harry knows she’s feeling clingy because she hardly budges when he so much as squirms half an inch.  She just pulls him tighter into her, and he happily obliges no matter how tingly his arm gets when it falls asleep underneath her, or how much of her hair he accidentally inhales.  

He calms her mind a bit, distracting her with stories of his childhood, painting vidid pictures in her imagination through exaggerated details of what England is like and promising to take her there one day.  “You’ll love it.  It’s beautiful.  I could see you easily fitting in there.”   

Eventually her grip softens the tiniest bit and he knows she’s drifting to sleep.  It makes him happy to feel her relax into his arms, and he snuggles down a bit further under the covers to allow himself to drift as well… when he feels it.

He has to pee.  

Fuck.

He tries everything he can to gently wiggle his way out from under her.  He moves her gently, only to have her melt even further into his side.  He tries making enough noise so that she’ll naturally wake up, and he can blame it on a noise outside her window or something like that.  But when neither of those things work, he lets out a sigh and just decides to bite the bullet.  With a bit of a grunt, he gently shoves her off of him and sits up.

Nova blinks, sleepy and confused.  When she realizes he’s sitting up, she frowns.  “Heyyyy.”

Harry chuckles.  “Hey.”  He reaches forward to poke at her bottom lip.   “Only gonna be a second.”

He moves to get out of bed, and is surprised when he feels Nova’s arms wrap around his middle once again.  He almost doesn’t hear her whine of “Noooooo,” because she buries her face into his side.

“Nova,” he says with a snort,  “baby, I have to pee.”

“But you’re so warm!!!” She says, frowning up at him and giving him her best puppy dog eyes.

“I’ll be just as warm when I get back!”  He gives up trying to wiggle out of her grip and allows himself to rest back against the pillows once again.  “Promise.  I’ll be quick.”

“Noooo.”   

Harry rolls his eyes, but he can’t help the fond smile spreading across his face.  “Needy little thing, aren’t you?”  He reaches down to scratch lightly against her back.

“You just make me feel good,” she pouts.  

“You make me feel good, too, bug.  But having to pee does not make me feel good.”

Nova sighs, furrowing her eyebrows up at him and finally giving in.  “Fine.  But hurry.”

Harry uses his thumb to smooth out the wrinkles on her forehead.  “Such a baby,” he mutters to himself, shaking his head. 

“Well!!!!” Nova shrugs.  “Just hurry.”

So of course Harry does what he’s told, scrambling out of bed and scurrying over to the bathroom.  When he returns, Nova is sitting up in bed with the same frown on her face.  “Too longggg,” she teases in a sing-song voice.

Harry laughs as he crawls back into bed beside her.  She wastes no time curling into his side once again, sighing when they both relax into the pillows.

“Never seen you this way,” Harry says.  “S’cute.”

Nova doesn’t even open her eyes.  “Yeah well.  If you ever bring it up again I’ll kill you.”

Her words take Harry by surprise.  “What?! Why??”

“Because.”

Nova offers no other explanation, and Harry realizes he has no choice but to accept it.  So he shakes his head and snorts, pressing one more soft kiss to the tip of Nova’s head.  “Alright.  Goodnight, Nova.”

——

It also happens on nights when they’ve been drinking.  When she’s had one too many vodka cranberry drinks and he has to try and get the both of them home safely into one of their apartments.  Harry selfishly loves these times, because he is quite the cuddly drunk himself.  

Nova’s hands are all over him the entire uber ride home, and she keeps giggling loudly and without warning.  On the way up to their floor, she keeps pretending to go deadweight against him, saying  “Carry meeeee!” over and over.

Nova giggles when they stumble into the chosen apartment for the night, immediately plopping onto the couch and laughing her head off while Harry tries to pull her up.  Through his giggles he tries to coax her, “Come onnnn, baby, we’ve gotta get to bed!”  And when he does manage to get her up (after they both nearly stumble over) she lags slowly behind him, giggling all the while.  She usually throws her arms up sloppily and sings  “Undress me!”  And of course, who is Harry to say no to that?  

And when they finally get themselves under the covers she immediately throws one arm and one leg across his body. (She only just misses his balls and it causes him to flinch– which she ignores.) “Harry?”

“Hm?” 

“I think you’re cute.”

Harry snorts, adjusting himself underneath her and wrapping his arms around her further.  “I think you’re cuter.”

“Ew.”  Although its dark, Harry can feel Nova’s nose crinkle up.  “When did we become that couple?  That’s nasty.”

Harry pokes lightly at her ribs.  “Well, it’s true!” 

Nova speaks through the most adorable yawn.  “We are pretty cute, huh?”

Of course there’s no way Harry can argue with that, because god, they’re adorable.  So he only chuckles and kisses at the top of her head.  “We are yeah.”

Nova rambles a bit longer, going on and on about how adorable they are– “Like, we’re actually really good looking people when you think about it!” and Harry nods, offering the occasional hum of agreement, until Nova trails off mid sentence.  Harry, still a bit drunk himself, giggles and whispers, “Nova?”

When she answers his whispered question with a snore, he beams.  It’s when he realizes he’s never felt this way about anybody, and he knows he’s truly never been happier.  So with one last kiss to her cheek and a subtle squeeze of his arms around her body, Harry allows himself to drift to sleep as well. 

[trulymadlysydney]

Can you explain how interactions before Hova was like? Were there awkward glances and run-ins while they're doing laundry? Maybe she saw his boxer briefs and she's blushing so hard that she's completely red? I need you to elaborate in great details what pre-Hova was like please.

You KNOW, I’ve never actually thought about this before! Obviously they met at the coffee shop BUT as next door neighbors they HAD to have at least seen each other in passing, right? 

There was one incident when Nova FIRST moved in where Jessie called campus security because “The guy next door has this band and they’re always practicing so fucking loud.”

I think they’ve definitely passed one another getting on and off the elevator BUT Nova was looking down at her phone and Harry was just not paying attention. 

Also I like the idea of them running into each other in the laundry room.  Like one time, Harry went into the laundry room, but most of the machines were full– and there was Nova, over in the corner, unloading a dryer and putting her clothes into a basket.  He  walked up to her and realized she was wearing ear buds, tapped her shoulder to get her attention, and asked “S’this one free?”  And she nodded, gave him a cheerful smile, and finished up quickly.  Neither of them thought anything of it– in fact it was such an insignificant interaction that neither of them even remember it, but Harry thought she was pretty; and he DEFINITELY didn’t stop himself from watching her (and her yoga pants clad butt) sauntering out of the room with the laundry basket on her hip.  (Which leads me to think that, a few months into them actually dating, when he’s seen her butt multiple times, it dawns on him that he’d seen her in the laundry room once before.  While she blushes bright red, he tells her “Knew I’d seen that butt before.  Would never forget it.” with a smirk)

[trulymadlysydney]

SO I NEVER LIKE “””OFFICIALLY””” had a face claim for Nova but one time my darling Bee @imethiminthemorning and I talked about it being Dove Cameron, and y’all know how much I adore her... so here she is, our beautiful little weirdo, Nova! 

I was tagged by both Bee and my angel Ken @emotionally-imbruised to do this!  I gave this way too much thought and we know our Nova tends to ramble so obvs some of these answers are gonna be long lol

Rules: Choose a couple of favourite photos/gifs of your character! Copy and paste the questions down below! Answer as if you’re the character that’s been tagged! Then tag some characters/authors you would love to see answer next! (BTW, you’re also allowed to tag an author again if they have more than one character you want to answer these questions!)

1. If it’s 1am and you’re still awake and wanting to talk to someone, who do you call and what do you talk about?

I would say Harry, but a) it’s rare that he’s awake past 11pm most nights, and b) he’s a grump if you wake him before like, 7am.   Usually, there’s a good chance that Jessie is still awake at 1am so I just go into her room with a blanket and we word-vomit all our problems to each other.  

2. Are you part of any fandoms? Or at least a big fan of something in particular?

Some random dude I met at a coffee shop one time invited me to one of his band’s gigs and they were pretty cool I guess. ;) All jokes aside, I’m actually a huge Harry Potter nerd. I’ve been trying to get Harry to read the books but he literally has the attention span of a gnat so he’s taken like five months to read the first two chapters.... of the first book.  Also not that anyone asked but my guilty pleasure is Justin Bieber.  (I know, I know.) ((Sorry @ Harry, you can make me mixtapes of indie bands all you want but I’m still gonna listen to Justin.))

3. Are you the big spoon or the little spoon?

Surprisingly, big spoon. I get hot in the night super easily so little spoon makes me want to explode sometimes.  Like at least as big spoon I have the freedom to move around.  (Also, again, not that anyone asked but Harry prefers being little spoon anyway so. It works out.)

4. If your mum text you right now, how would that make you feel?

She literally texted me this morning to ask if I needed anything mailed from home, and then to ask when I was planning on coming back.  So to answer your question I’d be fine with it.

5. Have you ever been in love? Why/Why not?

This is such a hard question. I genuinely don’t know.  I think I’m gonna say yes and no. Like, I think I’ve been in love to the capacity that I knew how, does that make sense? Like there was a guy from science camp that I sort of dated throughout high school, and I loved him as much as I knew how to back then.  I consider him my first love.  I think love is different for everyone and it grows and changes with us as we get older.  So who’s to say that I wasn’t in love or it wasn’t real love, compared to my relationship now as an adult with Harry (Who I ABSOLUTELY love), even though I was basically a child? (Side note, Harry just read this answer over my shoulder and he’s laughing at me, like “Nova its a yes or no question, just answer it and move on to the next one.” I think I hate him.)

6. Can you be trusted with a secret?

For sure!  I like to think I’m a pretty trustworthy person.

7. Who was your childhood best friend? Are you still friends?

Her name is Stella, and we are actually! In fact she’s planning a trip out here in September.  She want’s me to take her to West Hollywood so she can seduce a famous person.  (Her words, not mine.)

8. What are three songs currently on your everyday playlist?

Seriously?  Only three? This sucks.

1. Don’t Go Breaking My Heart- Elton John and Kiki Dee (Lately Harry and I have gotten into the habit of performing it in the mirror while we get ready for classes.  It’s become routine.)

2. The Chain- Fleetwood Mac 

3. Boyfriend- Justin Bieber (Guilty pleasure. I told you.)

9. What is your secret talent?

Ummm... I can easily recite literally any tongue twister with no issues.  I can also tie a cherry stem with my tongue.  (Also give me like 6 minutes tops and I can solve a rubix cube.)

10. Have you pictured your future? If so, what does it look like?

I have actually.  It involves working at NASA as one of their leading meteorologists, winning awards for my discoveries in my field,  saving the earth (literally), and then coming home to have a glass of wine and binge watch Netflix shows with Harry.  (I don’t know about a husband or kids just yet, but I do know that when I picture my future, he’s in it. So.)

 (This was so much more fun than I thought it was going to be and I literally gave this way too much thought lmao but anyway I AM GOING TO TAG @bribe-the-door (for any of your characters, although I want to request you do y/n from What Friends are For) annnnnnd @imethiminthemorning again for Allie! MWAH xoxo

[trulymadlysydney]

hi i just binged TBND and i have many feels and thoughts. also blurb idea: nova and harry’s almost meeting situations over the years, they went to the same school, lived in the same city, same building, went to the same coffee shops all this time. i feel like there are so many instances where they almost meet, like one leaves mins before the other arrives kinda thing

PLEASE THATS SO CUTE HELP they definitely like BARELY missed each other so many times, and they had TONS of mutual friends that they didn’t even realize UGH I love it

Also thank you for reading my love 🥺

[trulymadlysydney]

Yesss you’re blurbs are my favvorite🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 ok theme with TBND-I’m a sucker for college!harry and since it’s finals season (someone pray for me) the two of you are stressing for your last couple finals/projects but you are WAYY more stressed than he is and him noticing and going out of his way to make you feel better like bringing you food and making you de stress by running you a bath and all that fluffy cute stuff

I hooooope you don’t mind that I made this a little Harry and Nova blurb... but here we are

“Baby, you need to take a break.  Please.”

Nova pushes her glasses (which she insists she doesn’t need, but Harry makes her wear them because “If you keep squinting at the laptop like that you’re going to go blind”) up onto her forehead and rubs at her eyes.

“Harry, you’re really sweet but I have to finish this before I do anything else.”

Harry frowns.  “When’s it due?”

Nova rolls her eyes.  “It’s NOT. Nothing is due.  I’m just studying for my exam.”

“And what do you think’s gonna happen if you take a break, hm?  Think the cops are gonna break down the door and arrest you?”

Nova scowls at him, but he doesn’t back down.  “I’m serious, love, what are you expecting?  You need to take a break for just a bit.”

The scowl doesn’t leave Nova’s face, but she will admit that taking a break sounds nice.  Still, she groans.  “Fine, Harry.  Fine.  I’ll take a five minute break if you’ll leave me the hell alone afterwards.”

“No, I don’t mean five minutes, Nova.  You need to relax.”

“For fucks sake--”

“How about a bath?  Hm?”  Nova’s attention is caught by that, and Harry continues.  “A quick one, I swear.  But I need one, and I know you could go for one too.”

When Nova doesn’t say anything, Harry proceeds to ramble.  “I’ve got bath bombs. And candles.  And,  I have been told that I give amazing neck rubs.”

Nova’s voice is quiet, and Harry knows she’s caving.  “I was the one who told you that Harry.”

“Were you?  Doesn’t sound like something you’d say.  Sounds like something that somebody who’s nice to her boyfriend that cares a lot about her would say.”

Finally, Nova sighs.  She stands up and walks over to him, practically melting into his arms.   Harry rubs a reassuring hand up and down her back.  “Theeeere we are,” he says.  “How’s that bath sound?  Hm?  Nice and relaxing?”

Nova looks up at him and doesn’t even say anything.  She only nods, and it makes him smile.  “Promise I’ll leave you the hell alone afterwards, just like you said.”

“Don’t.”  She rubs at her eye again.  “Don’t leave me alone.  Ever.”

Harry drops his hand to interlace his fingers with hers and lead her into the bathroom.   “Oh no?  Okay then, I won’t.”

[trulymadlysydney]

Harry and nova just woke up and don’t want to get out of bed!!!!!

Harry wakes up first, and Nova is curled up on her side of the bed. Her face appears to be almost scowling, which makes Harry laugh, and her lips are parted. Her hair is an absolute disaster and Harry loves it.

He’s gotten quite fond of mornings like this. Where they wake up in his bed, and his sheets smell like her for the rest of the day. Most mornings have been this way, whether they take place in his or in her bed, and it’s been wonderful because their respective apartments are so close that they have everything they need right there.

“Hey,” He says softly. It does nothing to stir her. (He wasn’t really expecting it to. She looks completely out, in the deepest of deep sleeps.)

He chuckles, shifting a bit to wrap an arm around her and pulling her into him. She groans quietly but goes without hesitation. She moves like a rag doll, limp in his arms, and buries her nose in his neck.

With a little grunt, Harry shifts under her to make them both more comfortable. His hand finds its way into her hair. “Hey,” he repeats. “Baby, wake up.”

“Noooo,” she whines into his neck.

“Yeeeees,” he says back. “C’mon.”

“It’s Saturday.”

“Good observation.” Harry laughs, pleased with himself. He knows that he deserves a flick in the head or a pinch to the side that, if Nova were awake, he’s certain he’d get. Instead, he just gets a groan in response.

“Baby,” he hums. “We’ve got so much to do today. We have to get lunch with Mitch and Sarah, remember? And then we have to go get stuff for Jeff’s party. And I know you said you wanted to get some studying done, which we’ll have to do at some point. Can’t have you failing, can we? And—“

“Harry, you’re the cutest person in the world and I appreciate you for that but I’m literally begging you to stop talking for like four seconds.”

“Literally?” Harry waits for a sarcastic response but is instead met with a sharp pain in his shoulder from Nova’s teeth. “Ouch!”

“Shut up, I’m sleeping.”

“Grumpy little thing, aren’t you?”

“I’ll bite you again.”

“Careful, you might turn me on.”

Nova moves to roll off of him but he lets out a belly laugh and tightens his grip. “Alright alright, chill out.”

“Please,” Nova whines, relaxing into his arms. “Five more minutes.”

“What happens after the five minutes are up?”

“Nothing because we fall back asleep for the rest of the day.”

“Oh yeah? Y’sure about that?”

“Maybe if you shut up one day we’ll find out.”

She’s so grumpy and it’s strangely endearing. So Harry only snuggles further under the covers and lets out a sigh, kissing the top of Nova’s head. “Fine. Five more minutes.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

And when Harry closes his eyes, he knows she’s right. He could go for another hour or two of sleep, especially when Nova is so warm and sleepy on his chest. So with one more kiss to her head, he allows himself to drift off once again.

[trulymadlysydney]

In which novas sick and specifically demanded he sleep in his own apartment but its the middle of the night and all harry wants to do is slip into her bed next door

Nova groans when she hears a knock on her door. She wants to ignore it, praying that maybe whoever it is will go away. But then she hears it again, and again. She picks her phone up to check the time, but is met with three texts from Harry.

-Babe, I’m so sorry.-I don’t want to wake you up, but I can’t sleep.-Can I come over?

With a sigh and a pitiful little cough, Nova rolls out of bed and trudges through her apartment to the front door. She hears another knock and attempts to call out “I’m COMING!” But her voice is barely audible and she sounds more like a frog than she does a girl.

When Nova opens the door, she’s met with a soft, messy haired boy that she’s grown quite fond of. Despite her scowl, she is happy to see him.

He launches into his apologies immediately. “Baby, m’sorry. S’hard to sleep alone, especially knowing you aren’t feeling good. And I know you don’t want me to get sick but… I can’t sleep without you, m’afraid.” When Nova doesn’t say anything, Harry chuckles nervously. “I know. Gross, innit? But I just want to make sure you’re okay. I don’t care if I get sick, baby, I just want to sleep next to you.”

And Nova is a sucker for being called ‘baby.’

She doesn’t say anything, she only moves to the side to invite him in. He smiles, obviously relieved at her wordless invitation, and wraps his arms around her. She melts into his arms almost instantly.

Truthfully, she hadn’t been asleep at all. She’d been tossing and turning and trying to breathe correctly through her nose all night. And he was right, the whole reason she’d banished him to his own apartment was because she hadn’t wanted him to get sick.

But damn if she doesn’t feel the slightest bit better now that he’s here.

“Sweet girl,” Harry coos as the door closes behind him. “You’re burning up.”

“I’m sick,” Nova croaks, and Harry snorts.

“No shit, babydoll.” He puts his hand on her forehead. “Taken anything for the fever?”

“Some Tylenol a few hours ago.” Nova’s voice sounds pitiful, but she isn’t about to fight him. She’s exhausted and sick and so damn happy he’s here.

“I see,” Harry says, pressing a kiss to her forehead to punctuate his sentence. “Lets get back in bed, hm?”

Nova continues to pout as Harry guides her into her bedroom, and all she can manage to say is “You’re lucky Jessie isn’t home. She’d kill you for waking her.”

Harry only chuckles and mutters “yeah yeah” as he helps Nova back into bed, before crawling in beside her.

Nova relaxes instantly, melting once again into his arms and resting her head on his chest. He lets out a sigh. “This is much better,” he muses. “Pathetic, innit? Can’t sleep without you.”

“Yeah,” Nova says through a cough. “Gross.”

Harry kisses her head and Nova almost moans purely out of happiness. She needed him in her bed so badly.

She lets out a dramatic, injured sniff. “Baby, you’re gonna get sick.”

“Nah,” Harry says. “M’invincible. Just wanna hold you.”

“You’re annoying.���

“Thank you.”

[trulymadlysydney]

could you please do a blurb of harry and nova where they're just in a cuddly mood and just giving each other just small little kisses and just being overall fond??

Ooooh my goodness yes.

Nova doesn’t strike me as the type to get in those moods too often. Harry doesn’t too much either, but he does waaaaay more often than Nova does.

So if Harry’s in one of those moods and Nova isn’t, I think he shows it by being the ULTIMATE pest just to be annoying. Holding on to her, not letting her up off the couch, kissing all over her face and neck. When she complains “Harry get offfff” he only tightens his grip, makes his kisses sloppier and wetter and LOUDER, and says stupid things like “OOH you’re just so cute!” “Could just EAT you UP!” “Look at that SCOWL! My favorite scowl!” Nova will complain the entire time, but deep down she loves it. Absolutely LOVES it.

On the other hand, if NOVA is the one in these moods and Harry isn’t, he’s a lot more compliant with her requests. He won’t complain the way she does, he’ll just giggle to himself and revel in the way she clings to him. If anything, he’ll be a little shit (because who is he if he isn’t a little shit?) just to make her pout and show him EVEN MORE affection. So when she whines out “Baaaaabyyyyy,” and peppers his face in kisses, he only smirks and mutters “Needy, aren’t yeh?” Or when she’s kissing all over his face he just stares straight ahead and tries not to smile, finally cracking when she lets out a desperate groan.

And on the rare occasion that they’re BOTH in those moods? Watch out. They’ll annoy everyone in their path and they won’t even care. Like, say for example that Harry’s come over to hang out at Nova and Jessie’s place. They’ll be in their own little world, sharing kisses and cuddles and secrets. Tickling each other or play fighting to the point where Jessie groans and is like “Guys, seriously. I love you, but get a room.” Which makes them giggle even harder. They don’t do it on purpose necessarily, but they can’t get enough of one another in these moments. They couldn’t sit any closer to one another if they tried, but they’re going to try anyway.

[trulymadlysydney]

How would nova react if she saw harry with someone else?? And what would harry do to comfort her?? I love the idea of harry giving her reassurance even though they’re not officially together its cute

Fun fact this almost was a thing for part five!!! Like I almost had Nova run into Harry somewhere on campus and see him hanging out with another girl and get all upset but tbh that was too much for my heart to handle after part four 

Anyway.  I  see her absolutely trying to pretend like it doesn’t bother her at all.  Like being weird about it, and in her own mind she’s acting totally normal but Harry knows something is up.  And Nova feels so so guilty for being even just a little bit upset, especially after knowing how Harry felt after seeing her in the crowd with Jason at the bar.  

Harry, always the little shit,  milks it for a bit, but not too long.  And eventually I see him sitting her down and being like, “Look, I know you’re upset.”

Nova tries to keep up her act for just a bit longer.  “No, no! Everything is totally fine.  Literally!”

And Harry smirks and shakes his head.  “It’s not.  You never act this way.  Want to tell me what’s going on?”

Nova doesn’t answer him, she only shoots him an apologetic smile, and Harry’s smirk deepens.  “Bet I can guess,” he continues.  “S’it Hannah?”

Nova frowns a little bit, but she tries to come across as non-judgmental as possible.  “Is Hannah that really pretty girl you were with after class on Thursday?”

And to that, Harry chuckles.  “Yes, that would be correct.  Is this about her?”

Nova’s gaze lowers, and she nods her head guiltily.  Harry lets out an understanding little hum.  “I see.”  He shifts a bit in his seat then, reaching out to put his hand lightly on Nova’s knee.  “You know we were only discussing our homework, yeah?”

And then Nova lets out a long sigh, word-vomitting as she’s known to do.  “This is so stupid, I’m so sorry.  Like I shouldn’t even be upset, especially after that whole Jason thing... I just... god, Harry, I try and I try not to be jealous but it’s impossible because look at you, you’re perfect.  And I know that jealousy is like, super weird and gross, and I’m very much confident and I very much love myself and this is SO dumb of me to be acting this way I just... it’s just...  I’ve seen you guys together before and she’s so ridiculously pretty.”

Harry lets Nova’s words sink in, nodding his head at all the appropriate moments and letting his mouth quirk up in a smile at her compliment.  And when she’s done-- when the last sentence about Hannah being pretty has left her lips, it takes everything in Harry not to laugh out loud when he speaks.  “Yeah, well.  Her girlfriend thinks so too.”

Nova’s mouth hangs open, and Harry can’t help but giggle when he watches her process what he’d just said.  “What?”

“She’s dating one of Jessie’s friends believe it or not.  They’ve been together for 4 years now.”

“She’s--”

“Also they live together.  They’ve got a cat.”

“What--”

“His name is Frank.  Silly name for a cat if you ask me.”

Nova closes her mouth, then opens it again.  Harry is smiling as if he’s been hanging on to this forever now.  He reaches up to tap at her chin. “You don’t have to look so shocked, babe.”

This time, Nova lets out a groan.  “Ohhhh my god I’m an idiot.”

Harry shakes his head, giving her knee a squeeze.  “You aren’t.  Not at all.  You’re perfectly fine, these feelings happen to the best of us.”  He leans in a bit, his eyes twinkling and the dimple never once leaving his face.  “I would know, eh?  You and that Jason fellow.”

Nova feels her ears get hot, but she laughs at his words.  “God.  Ew.  Don’t bring that night up again.”

Harry snorts.  “The point is, if something is bothering you you need to let me know, hm?  You saw where my passive aggressiveness got us that night.”  Harry rolls his eyes at the memory.

“Yeah but--”

“Don’t worry about it.  M’serious.  You’re allowed to feel that way.  But if we want this to work, we have to be honest right off the bat, yeah?  Have to tell me these things.”

Nova bites her lip, unsure of whether she wants to kiss him or punch that smug little smirk right off of his mouth.  She settles for the former, launching herself into his lap and burying her face in his neck.  Harry lets out a surprised little “oomf” followed by a giggle when he feels her breath against his skin, and he holds her tightly.  “Hey, hey,” he says, rubbing at her back.  “What do you think you’re doing in there, hm?”

She pulls away to smile at him, keeping her arms wrapped around his neck.  “You’re just cute.  And perfect. And... ugh.”  She presses a kiss to his lips, a little harsher than intended, and their lips clink together-- which causes Harry to snort.  Nova ignores it. “GOD, I like you so much.”

Harry cups the back of Nova’s neck, scratching lightly at the base of her hair.  “You’re a dream, Nova. You mean the world to me.”

They stay like that for a long while, kissing and giggling and generally acting like teenagers in their first relationship, until Nova realizes what time it is with a sigh.  “I should probably get going,” she admits reluctantly, hopping off of Harry’s lap.  “Class starts in 10 minutes.”

Harry nods, but makes no effort to get up from the couch.  “What a shame.”  He reaches forward to pinch at her butt and she squeals, squirming away from him.  “Gonna miss you.”

“You have class soon too!” she points out, hurrying around the living room to collect her scattered books and put them in her backpack.  “Go be a good student.  I’ll still be here when you get out.”

Harry nods his head.  “M’counting on that.”

Nova slings her backpack across her right shoulder and heads for the door, stopping briefly to call over her shoulder, “Oh and Harry?”

“Hm?”

“Invite Hannah and her girlfriend over for dinner soon.  And tell them to bring Frank.”

Harry in glasses looks like college harry obviously but it made me think of what harry would look like studying with nova :(

Ohhh… my god OUCH. Why didn’t I think of that??

Like Nova’s been pestering him for an hour about wearing his glasses instead of just having them sit on top of his head like some sort of accessory. To which he argues, “I only need them for certain things!”

“You’ve been squinting at the paper for 45 minutes Harry.”

So finally he gives in because they both know that she’s right, but now she can’t stop staring at him because he looks so damn cute.

“What’re you staring at?” He asks, dimples popping.

“You just look so cute.”

“Oh stop it.” He reaches up to push his glasses up his nose. “You’re just saying that.”

“Am not! I would never just ‘say that.’ You’re adorable.”

Harry giggles and his cheeks turn a bit pink but he shakes his head. “You’re blind. Maybe you should wear these ‘stead of me.”

What do you think nova and Harry are doing right now on this lovely Monday night

OOOOH good question.

I think schools already out for them. It’s 1:20am in LA right now so I think they’re laying in Nova’s bed, falling asleep. Harry is talking (softly because they don’t want to wake Jessie up) about how he leaves on Friday to fly to London for a few days to see his family and how “s’not too late to buy a ticket to come with me, bug.”

But Nova is rolling her eyes because of course she can’t just up and fly to London with him. She’s not yet ready to meet his family, much less fly across the planet. Not to mention Nova just got a summer job— at the coffee shop they met at, no less.

They’re snuggled up super close with Nova’s head on Harry’s chest, and her eyes are closed. She’s in a lacy pink thong and one of Harry’s jumpers, and he’s in just his boxers. They’ve had the best day just hanging out, doing some shopping, and their tummies are very full because of the enormous dinner that Harry treated them to. Lots of snuggles. Loooots of sex. They’d gotten in bed extra early (I’m talking 8:30pm) but they’ve just been laying there, alternating between having sex, having heart to hearts, and watching old cartoons from their childhood (upon Nova’s non-negotiable request). Harry doesn’t want to leave. Nova is realizing two things.

One, she should call her mom tomorrow.

Two, she is in love with this boy.

Sooooo hear me out. What if Nova’s into astrology and she attempted to explain it to Harry and he’s a little shit about it and teases her for it but when she interprets his natal chart then he’s secretly going off and reading about it himself!

Like he loves it so much, but he’s going to pretend like he hates it and doesn’t get it. “So my moon is in, what, Aquarius?”

Nova lets out an exasperated sigh, because this is the 8th time he’s asked. “Harry. Your moon is in libra. Your SUN is in Aquarius.”

“And my Venus is in Uranus right?” Harry giggles at his joke, but Nova doesn’t find it as funny.

“No but your head is.”

“My what?”

“Your head is in your anus, harry.”

Harry snorts. “Ouch! That’s a hurtful thing to say!”

“WELL QUIT BEING AN ASS AND PAY ATTENTION.”

What do you think harry and nova are doing at this moment

Ugh I wish I could’ve answered his earlier but I was at work. But you know what I think?

I think that, since it’s summer, Harry has flown to spend a couple of days with Nova and her family in her hometown. And I think currently, he’s laying in Nova’s old bedroom looking at the ceiling because for some reason he can’t stay asleep. (He blames it on jet lag but that’s not fully it because it’s only a few hours difference.)

It’s starting to get light outside, and he can just start to make out Nova’s face as she sleeps beside him, curled up into his chest. She’d talked for 30 minutes about how thankful she was that he’d come to meet her family before eventually falling asleep mid-sentence. And she hasn’t moved from her spot under his arm since. (Not that he minds, of course.)

And he’s thinking to himself how lucky he is to be here. How happy he is with his life, especially now knowing that Nova is a permanent part of it. He laughs when Nova snores a little, but he only pulls her closer and gives her a little kiss on her head before closing his eyes once more to try and drift back to sleep.
