(Once again, thank you to my bestie @finelinenina for letting me bounce ideas around for this one, and for helping me narrow down how the plot should read 🫶🏻)
▣▣▣▣▣▣
Today of all days, it seemed like it took the clock forever to hit seven o’clock. You knew why. You knew it was because you were excited to go out with all of your friends for your 27th birthday. As soon as your shift at the hospital was over, you quickly clocked out, and practically raced to your car so you could head home.
Your music was blaring as you drove down the interstate - singing to all your favorite songs to get you in the mood for tonight’s festivities. Harry had promised you that he was going to make tonight special, having it be your first birthday since the two of you decided to rent a flat together. 
Renting together just made sense. You were best friends who both had leases ending at the same time, and both of your roommates were going to be moving in with their significant others. Your ex-roommate, but still friend, Corrine, was actually the one who had suggested it to you. When you brought it up to Harry, he said he was thinking of asking you too, but he didn’t know if it would make you feel uncomfortable.
You and Harry had been friends for the last seven years now. You were introduced by mutual friends at a frat party, and the rest was history from there. You were both extremely lucky to keep the same group of friends after graduating from university, so it was like you all continued to grow up together.
You weren’t sure what Harry meant when he said he was going to make this particular birthday special, but you were trying not to get your hopes up too much.
Truth was, you’ve had a crush on Harry since before the two of you moved in together. The realization came to you while the two of you were singing karaoke together almost four years ago now, but you’ve never breathed a word of it to anyone - not even Corrine.
Deep down, you were hoping that he realized he felt the same way about you, and that tonight he planned on confessing his undying love. Again, you didn’t want to get your hopes up.
You pulled into the parking lot of your complex, still humming along joyfully to the last song that had been playing in your car as you walked up your stairs. Slipping the key into the lock, you started inside, and you braced yourself for what could be waiting for you.
As you looked up from your feet, you felt your smile fall as the flat was just as you left it. There were no balloons, no decorations, and it was completely silent.
Trying not to jump to conclusions, you hung your purse up on the hook on the wall, and you started through your living room to head down the hallway. It was then that you heard labored breathing as you approached Harry’s door - which you soon realized was cracked.
You peered inside, curiosity getting the best of you, and your lips parted as you saw blonde hair trickling down the back of a petite figure. She was naked, that much you could tell, with Harry’s sheets pooled around her waist. Her hips were rocking back and forth as her small moans filled his room.
“Just like that, sweetheart. Keep moving those hips,” you heard Harry’s silky voice, and soon you saw his large hands pressing against her back - his rings still on and indenting her skin. “Doing so good for me.”
Almost gasping out loud, you quickly clamped your hand against your mouth so as not to blow your cover. The last thing you needed was Harry seeing you standing there, but you weren’t able to walk away.
“Harry,” the girl whined above him, and you watched as one of Harry’s hands now disappeared underneath the sheets. It was then a high-pitched squeak left her as you heard a crack of skin against skin.
He had spanked her.
“Does it feel good for you too? Squeezing all over me, hm? Such a sweet girl you are.”
You pressed your thighs together at the sultry tone he was laying on, pretty thick you might add, and your eyes widened as Harry suddenly flipped them over. The sheets didn’t cover his hips like they did for the woman, and you were soon met with his bare ass right in your line of vision.
From there, you could see the muscles in his back flexing as he pounded the woman into the mattress before you heard him speak again. “God, just look at you. You’re taking me so well, darling. Looking all dreamy getting fucked by my cock.”
That’s what did you in, and you raced into your room, but you made sure to shut the door quietly behind you. You stared at the wooden surface for a moment before walking backwards until you hit the chair in front of your vanity. 
Plopping down onto the furniture, your hands fell into your lap, and you stared blankly at the wall.
It wasn’t the fact that Harry was having sex with someone that bothered you. You both had an agreement that it was okay to bring people over whenever you wanted, but today was your birthday.
He had the last couple hours after he got off of work, knowing you would still be at work, but he chose now? He knew you’d be home right past seven. You had been looking forward to getting ready with him for your night out. The plan was to pregame with a cocktail or two, as well as indulging in some junk food to make sure your stomachs were properly coated for tonight’s adventure.
But now…now you weren’t even sure if he still planned on coming.
Deciding not to dwell too much on it, you turned to face your mirror as you grabbed your AirPods off the vanity’s surface - slipping them into your ears. You took your phone out of your pocket, and you selected the birthday playlist you had curated as you started in on your makeup.
Once your hair and makeup were done, and you were properly dressed in the outfit you chose specifically for tonight, you exited your bedroom. It had taken you a little over an hour to get ready, and you glanced down the hall - seeing that Harry’s door was now shut. However, the faint sound from his TV still managed to bleed through the hallway, and you frowned.
It was then you knew he must’ve forgotten, and that he wouldn’t be joining you tonight.
It dawned on you that maybe you expected too much from him. That maybe you held him at a higher regard all because of those feelings you shoved deep down inside.
You weren’t sure if the girl was still there, and you didn’t want to be a buzzkill by knocking on the door to remind him of the plans you’ve had set in place for almost two months now, so you decided to leave it alone. Rolling your shoulders back, you held your head up high as you grabbed your purse from beside the door, and you slipped out of your flat.
You weren’t going to let him ruin your night.
▣▣▣▣▣▣
Your giggles bounced off the walls of the hallway leading to your flat as the man you let take you home, Parker, pressed you against your door. His lips attacked your neck with his hands squeezing your hips, and you gasped as his teeth nipped as your shoulder.
“You’re going to have to let me open the door at some point,” you breathed, and were finally able to peel him off of you enough to turn around.
It wasn’t too late, just a little past midnight, but truthfully you were tired from your shift at the hospital earlier. At this point, you just wanted to get each other off, and then go to sleep.
Slipping your key into the lock, you turned it and then opened the door - the two of you stumbling inside as his arms were right back around your waist. You looked up, lips parting in surprise as you saw Harry seated on the couch with a beer bottle raised to his mouth.
Parker hadn’t seen him yet as his face was buried in your neck, and you cleared your throat as you raised one of your hands to reach back and tangle into his hair. “Parker.”
He hummed against your skin before lifting his head, and he froze completely once he laid eyes on Harry.
“Shit, you have a roommate?” 
You swallowed harshly at his words. You hadn’t brought up living with Harry once tonight, and that was something you usually let your hook-ups know off the bat. You always wanted to make sure they were comfortable coming back with you knowing that you had a roommate.
“Sorry, I think it just slipped my mind to mention it tonight,” you didn’t mean for your words to come out as bitter as they did with your eyes still on Harry. You left them there for a moment before looking back to Parker over your shoulder. “Is that okay? We’ll go to my room.”
Parker sighed as he unraveled himself from you, and he shook his head as he tucked his hands into his pockets. “I kinda have this thing about hooking up with people knowing their roommate is home.”
You knew you couldn’t be angry. It was your fault that you had failed to inform him that you didn’t live alone.
“No, that’s okay,” you nod. “I understand. I can call you an Uber?”
“That won’t be necessary, honey. I can take care of it,” Parker walked forward and placed a hand on your hip before pressing a kiss to your temple. “Happy birthday again, Y/N.”
You lowered your head to stare at your feet as Parker walked past you, and out of the apartment. The only sound for a while being the TV that had been playing, but you slowly looked over to see Harry staring at you from the couch.
“Y/N,” he said, and you could see it registered all over his face.
Parker telling you happy birthday one last time had made him realize that he forgot.
“I’m going to bed,” you said quickly as you walked through the living room and towards the hallway.
“No, please,” Harry set his beer down before pushing himself off the couch to follow you. “I need to make this right before you go to sleep.”
“What’s there to make right?” You laughed softly as you stepped into your bedroom, beginning to dig through your dresser to grab a pair of underwear and a big t-shirt to sleep in for the night.
“Come on. Don’t act like it doesn’t matter because it does. I…I forgot your birthday.”
Hearing him actually say it felt like a punch to the gut, and you paused your movements for a moment as it registered before you shook your head. “It really doesn’t matter.”
“It doesn’t…” Harry trailed off, following you as you moved across the room to remove your jewelry at your vanity. “It does matter! I had this day planned for you for months, and all of a sudden it slipped my mind. I don’t know how-”
“You didn’t even text me tonight to figure out where I was,” you told him.
“Because it’s Wednesday. You always work until three in the morning on Wednesday night into Thursday morning.”
A bitter laugh left you at that, and you glanced over at Harry again. “It’s Thursday, Harry. Well, technically Friday now, but…”
Harry moved to sit on the edge of your bed as his eyes slipped shut - running his face over his hands. “Oh my fucking god.”
“I got home a little after seven, and I was expecting to start pregaming with you, but you were…a little tied up.”
You hated mentioning what you came home to, but you figured it was better for you to let him know you were aware of what happened instead of him asking you himself.
Harry dropped his hands quickly, and he looked at you with wide eyes.
“You were here when…”
“Yep,” you popped the “p” as you spoke. “I’ll make sure to be quiet in the bathroom so I don’t wake her up.”
You had expected for her to be asleep in Harry’s bed. Harry was a night owl, so it wasn’t a surprise that he was up this late.
“She’s not here anymore. She left pretty soon after.”
Now you could’ve kicked yourself. If you had just knocked on his door like you wanted to before you left, you would’ve known that she was gone, and Harry would’ve been with you tonight. This whole thing could’ve been avoided.
“Yeah, well, at least one of us got some on my birthday,” you spat.
You were still angry at him for mixing up the days, but now you were mad at yourself for not just growing a pair and checking in with him earlier.
“Hey,” Harry said sternly, and you saw him get off your bed out of the corner of your eye. “I said I was sorry.”
“Sorry doesn’t take away the fact that I saw you fucking someone today!”
“You watched us?” Harry’s eyebrows narrowed, and you weren��t sure if you had ever seen him look like this. “What the hell, Y/N?”
“It’s not like it was on purpose! Don’t you dare try to make that into something it’s not,” you pointed your finger at him. “Your door was cracked, and I could hear breathing because it was so quiet in here. I was honestly worried at first, but then I saw the two of you all over each other.”
“How long did you watch us?”
Now you could’ve easily lied. You could’ve told him that you immediately looked away the second you realized what you were witnessing, and that you went straight into your room.
But the many shots you had consumed tonight started to do the talking, and you tilted your head to the side. “Long enough to hear just how sweet and dreamy she was for you.”
Harry took a step forward, and you took one backwards - the back of your thighs clashing against your vanity. “You completely invaded my privacy today, and I don’t appreciate that. At. All.”
“Your door was cracked,” you reiterated, snapping back at him through clenched teeth. “Not my fault you got your days mixed up.”
You could see that Harry ran his tongue over the inside of his cheek before he took a step back. “You crossed a line.”
“You forgot my birthday.”
Shaking his head, he walked towards your door, and turned around to look at you over his shoulder. “Probably had a better time with her anyway than I would’ve had tonight with you.”
Your face fell as you registered his words, and tears instantly flooded your waterline. It wasn’t until Harry slammed his bedroom door shut that you closed your eyes tight - biting down on the inside of your cheeks to keep yourself from making any noise.
You gave yourself a few minutes to calm down before gathering your pajamas with shaking hands, and you walked into the bathroom - eager to take a shower to wash away the worst birthday of your entire life.
▣▣▣▣▣▣
For the next two weeks, you had managed to properly avoid Harry, but he was also trying to avoid you as well. You both would listen to make sure the other had come back into their room before exiting your own, and if you were going out with friends, you made sure the other wouldn’t be going as well.
That’s why tonight, as you walked into the bar you and your friends usually frequent on Friday nights, you stopped in your tracks when you saw Harry over by one of the pool tables. He was talking with Corrine’s boyfriend, Shahid, and you swallowed harshly at the fact this was the first time you were laying eyes on him in two weeks.
You were a little bummed, to be honest. Tonight, you had dressed with the intention of maybe trying to find someone to bring home - your outfit being one that involved one of your shortest skirts. There was a lot of pent up frustration that you needed to release due to your current situation with Harry, and you hoped a good one night stand could help you out with that.
“Y/N!” You heard your name being called, and you looked over to see Corrine walking away from the bar with a beer in each of her hands.
“Corrine,” you said back as you approached her, shaking your head. “What the hell? Why didn’t you tell me that Harry was going to be here.”
You had opened up to Corrine about what happened earlier in the week, and you even maybe talked a little too much after your third glass of wine - spilling your true feelings for Harry to her.
“Look, I know it’s probably really shitty of us, but Shahid and I both know how terribly you and Harry feel about what happened - even though you guys aren’t willing to admit that to each other yet. We figured maybe having other people around for the first time since the fight may help ease the tension a little bit,” she shrugged as you started heading over to the pool tables, and you sucked in a deep breath.
“I really don’t know if this is the best plan,” you told her, but continued to follow.
Once you got to where all of your friends were, you made it a point to stand as far away from Harry as possible as you greeted some of them - painting on a smile to mask your uneasiness. You didn’t want Harry to know that what happened affected you in such a way. You wanted him to think that you were fine with just ignoring him.
Eventually you were dragged by a friend back over to the bar to grab yourself a drink and a shot, and as you trailed behind them, you could feel Harry’s eyes on you as you walked.
As angry as you still were about the whole situation, you still missed Harry’s company. He was your best friend, and everything felt off having gone without speaking to him for so long. But your feelings were still very hurt, especially by the last thing he had said to you that night. You weren’t sure how you were going to move on from those words.
You quickly downed your shot, and then grabbed your beer off the bar. When walking back over to your other friends again, you heard unfamiliar giggles, and when you rounded the corner, you saw a blonde sitting on the edge of the pool table - Harry leaning down with his hands on either side of her hips as they talked.
Once you got closer, you recognized her as the girl that he had in his bedroom on your birthday, and you’re not sure why that caused such sadness to fester inside your chest.
You looked away as fast as possible, and you peered over to Corrine who gave you a sympathetic smile. “If it helps, he didn’t invite whoever that is. She recognized him from across the bar and came over.”
“That’s her,” you sighed, taking a sip from your beer as you leaned against the wall.
Corrine’s eyes widened as she looked at the girl and then back to you. “Wait like…her her?”
“Mhmm,” you hummed with a nod as you pulled your pint glass away from your mouth.
Looking past Corrine, you saw your friend, Elliott. You knew he smoked, and even though you didn’t all that often, you were in desperate need of a cigarette at this very moment.
“Hey, El,” you said to grab his attention before downing the rest of your beer so that you could properly walk over to him. “Do you think I could bum a cig off you? I’ll buy you a shot.”
Elliott was closer to Harry than you had been originally standing before, and you noticed that he had paused his conversation with the girl upon hearing your voice - head tilting slightly towards you as he looked at you out of the corner of his eye
“Yeah, here,” Elliott dug into his pocket to retrieve his pack, sliding a stick out to pass to you. “But don’t worry about buying me a shot. It’s a fresh pack - no big deal.”
“Thanks,” you smiled as you took it from him, and he handed you his lighter as well. You walked back over to Corrine before gesturing your head towards one of the exits. “I’m just going to step into the alley for a moment for a smoke. I’ll be right back.”
“You sure you don’t want me to go with you?” Corrine asked with knitted brows, but you shook your head.
“I’m alright. Just need to clear my head for a moment.”
As you turned around to make your way towards your destination, you made eye contact with Harry for the first time in two fucking weeks. It stole the breath from your lungs when you saw such a mix of emotions swirling in his moss colored eyes, and you quickly looked away.
Making sure you had your phone on you, you made your way towards the exit, and you slipped outside. The air was a bit cooler outside, but not too cool to have you freezing. The bar was warm inside due to all the people, so it was a bit refreshing to feel the breeze. You pulled your cardigan tighter around yourself as you leaned up against the brick wall of the alleyway - glancing up at the stars for a moment.
Sticking the much needed cigarette between your lips, you cupped the end of the stick to make sure you were covering the flame as you lit it up, and you sucked in a long drag immediately - tucking Elliott’s lighter into your back pocket.
It was only a minute or two later that you heard the alley door slam, and you looked over to see Harry. He was facing the other direction at first. His back was to you as he ran a hand through his curls - the other loosely on his hip.
“Fuck,” you heard him sigh, shaking his head as he turned around and started back towards the door, but then stopped once he set his sights on you.
You watched as his eyes trailed all the way up from your boots, over your outfit and up to your face before his lips parted.
“Hi,” he breathed as you took another long drag from your cigarette, but you still kept your eyes on him.
“Hi,” you replied, exhaling the smoke from your lungs as you did so.
The air felt tight around the two of you, and you looked down to flick some ash onto the ground as he spoke again.
“I-I haven’t seen you,” he stammered.
You pursed your lips to the side at his statement before shrugging. “Didn’t think you wanted to, and to be honest, I didn’t really want to see you. Not…not after what you said.”
Your eyes flickered back over to Harry, and his expression was one of regret. “I’ve been wanting to talk to you about what I said. I just…I didn’t know how to approach it.”
“Yeah, well,” you sighed, shaking your head as you licked over your bottom lip. “I know you have a better time with her than you do with me. So you best be getting back before I ruin your night. I can just stay at Corrine and Shahid’s after this - that way you’ll have the place to yourself with her.”
“C’mon, Y/N,” Harry sighed as he shoved his hands into his front pockets - making no movement to head back inside. “Don’t be like that.”
“What?” You asked, eyebrows narrowing. “I’m just repeating your own words.”
“I know I don’t deserve it, but will you please let me explain?”
You stayed silent as you took another drag from your cigarette, but you gave him a nod.
“That night, I took out the emotions I felt towards myself out on you. And I feel horrible about that,” Harry started, and you weren’t sure if you had ever seen him look so nervous. “I was angry and upset with myself that I had forgotten your birthday like that, and to be honest, I was a little embarrassed at the fact that you saw me like…that. I know all of that isn’t an excuse for what I said, but I need you to know that I wish I could take it back. It’s not how I feel at all - not in the slightest.”
Letting his words process, you looked back up at the sky as you did so. You could see where he was coming from, you also would’ve felt all those things that night if the situation had been reversed, but you still don’t know if you could ever say what he had. Even just thinking about what he said, and how he said it, caused your heart to ache.
“I guess I should apologize too,” you said after a moment, looking back over at Harry. “I shouldn’t have stayed outside of your bedroom so long once I realized what was happening, and I really shouldn’t have used the way you were talking to her against you. That wasn’t my place, no matter how upset I was about you forgetting my birthday.”
After a moment or two, Harry’s hands left his pockets as he stepped closer to you - just as you dropped your cigarette down onto the ground to snuff it out with the toe of your boot. 
“I’ve been beating myself up so much over the whole thing,” Harry swallowed harshly as he held your eyes. “I keep thinking of ways that I could make it up to you, but nothing I think of seems right - it all feels too minimal.”
“Don’t worry about it,” you told him, fighting the urge to reach out and touch him in some way. “It’s over, and in the past. We can just put it behind us.”
“No,” Harry shook his head. “I haven’t been able to stop worrying about it, Y/N. I had so much planned for you that day, for us. And I fucked it all up just to get a mediocre lay.”
Your eyebrows raised at his words, and you could tell by the look on his face that he didn’t mean for them to slip - blush now trailing over his cheeks. “Mediocre? Didn’t…it didn’t sound like it was mediocre.”
“Why do you think I took over?” Harry said, feeling a bit awkward about having this conversation, but he knew it was too late to try to backtrack now. “She couldn’t ride me for shit. I was hoping by saying all that stuff it would encourage her, but if anything, it just made it worse.”
You couldn’t help but snort out a laugh, and you lifted your hand to press your fingertips lightly against your lips as you continued to giggle. Harry’s eyes lit up at the sound of your laughter, and it was then he realized just how much he had missed hearing it. He couldn’t help but let out a chuckle with you, shaking his head.
“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to laugh,” you said, trying to get yourself to calm down. “That’s just not how it appeared to me at all.”
Now that the tension seemed to completely ease, Harry closed almost all space between the two of you as he turned to face your side - leaning his shoulder against the brick wall that you had your back against. “Well, between you and me, if I’m feeling it, my mouth is a lot more filthy than that.”
Swallowing down a gasp at his confession, his words went straight to your clit that momentarily throbbed now that you knew this information. If that was him not even being as filthy as he could be, you couldn’t even imagine how he would talk if he were fully into it.
“Y-Yeah?” You stammered, clearing your throat after. 
“Mhmm,” Harry hummed as he tugged his plump bottom lip through his teeth, and you watched as his eyes trailed over you once more. “Can I ask you a question, Y/N?”
Suddenly at a loss for words, your nod in compliance was almost immediate given the way the tone of Harry’s voice had changed.
“I want to preface this by saying you don’t have to answer this if you don’t want to. I also could be reading your body language completely wrong right now, and I may have misjudged the past situation entirely,” Harry reached out, fingertips lightly brushing against the side of your neck. “But did you stick around that evening because you liked what you heard?”
Goosebumps hadn’t coated your skin from the breeze tonight, but they sure appeared due to Harry’s touch. He rendered you completely speechless, and you knew now that you had hesitated too long for you to lie and deny it, so you figured now was as good of a time as any to let the truth come out.
“Yes,” you whispered as Harry lifted his hand to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear.
You watched as he pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek before speaking again. “Tell me more.”
Your eyes darted back and forth between the two of his, and for a split second you wondered if this was some sort of trap, for him to speak negatively to you again, but you knew him - you knew what happened the night of your birthday was a fluke. That wasn’t your typical Harry.
“When I came home, I was hoping that you would’ve had everything ready to celebrate,” you decided just to start from the beginning - when you realized your feelings had been hurt. “And then, I peeked into your bedroom, and I saw the two of you. And I-”
You cut yourself off with a gasp as Harry had now run his hand back down to wrap around the front of your throat - not applying any pressure, but having his palm rest against it.
“And that’s what I had hoped would’ve happened to us when we got home that night,” you confessed as you pushed through the need to cower away from expressing your true feelings. “I just wanted you to feel the same way I had felt - to want the same things I wanted.”
A look of realization glazed over Harry’s eyes, and then it all clicked for him. The two of you were crushing on each other, and he didn’t know how long you had been crushing on him, but if he was being completely honest, his crush started the night he met you. He had never met someone as fun and bubbly as you. He found you absolutely stunning, but he just never thought you would reciprocate.
“Oh, Y/N,” Harry clicked his tongue against the back of his teeth, and at first you thought he was going to reprimand you - to tell you that you were out of your mind for thinking anything could ever happen between the two of you. “If you only knew the things I’ve been wanting to do to you.”
You bit down on your bottom lip to suppress a moan, feeling downright pathetic for coming completely undone at just his words, and his hand on your body. 
“Can I show you one of them right now, hm?” Harry tilted his head to the side. “I can see you pressing your thighs together, darling.”
Looking down, you saw that he was right. You hadn’t even noticed you were doing it, but Harry tightening the grip on your throat had you snapping your eyes back up to him in an instant. You nodded helplessly, and Harry felt his cock twitch in his jeans at the doe-eyed look on your face.
“I need your words. I’m not touching you in any other way until I hear your words.”
“Yes,” you gasped, and he used your consent to apply pressure to your pulse points with his thumb and middle finger. “Please, show me, Harry.”
Dropping his hand from your neck, he pushed himself off the wall to stand completely in front of you now. You held eye contact as his hands reached out to grab at your hips, and he slotted one of his toned thighs right between yours. With one single movement, he now had your core pressed against his jean covered muscle, and you sucked in a deep breath at the sensation.
“This alright, baby? Are you going to let me show you? You’re going to help me take care of you?” 
“Yes,” you lifted your hands to rest on his shoulders, and you clenched down around nothing at the delicious pressure that was so delicately being applied to your clit. “I want to help you.”
You didn’t even care about who could potentially walk by and see you. All you could think about was him. To be honest, the fear of the two of you getting caught in the act just made you even more hungry for it.
Now smirking, Harry slowly began to rock your hips back and forth so your cunt was grinding against his thigh through both your sheer stockings, and your underwear. You moaned, and you tilted your head back as your eyes slipped shut.
“Ah,” Harry reprimanded, bringing a hand down to pinch one of the rounds of your ass underneath your skirt quickly. “If we’re going to do this, you keep your eyes on me, you understand?”
Your eyes shot open at the sensation of the pads of his digits clamping down around your skin, and with his ultimatum lingering, you nodded once more. “I understand.”
“Good girl.”
That had you whimpering as you bit down on your lower lip, and Harry didn’t waste anymore time in getting you to rock against his thigh again. Your fingertips dug into the material of the t-shirt he had on, but you soon found yourself clutching to it - wringing it in the palm of your hands.
“Feel good, Y/N?”
“So good,” you squeaked out, and Harry moved one of his hands down to your thigh before lifting your leg - hitching your knee against one of his hips. The change in angle had you grinding down right on your clit. It was everything you could do to keep your eyes open from how overwhelming it felt.
“Wet little cunt just grinding right against me, hm?” Harry lifted your skirt just the slightest bit so he could quickly take a peek down at where you connected before holding your eyes again. “And to think, this is just the beginning. Can’t wait to ravish you.”
You were more than thankful that he was assisting you in your movements because your legs soon started to tremble, and you knew it wouldn’t be long before you hit your peak. 
You, unfortunately, hadn’t been able to have an orgasm since your fight with Harry. It didn’t matter how hard you tried, your mind wouldn’t let you succumb to the pleasure you felt while using one of your toys. The anger between the two of you was at the forefront of your thoughts.
“Harry,” you breathed - earning you a hum in response. “Kiss me, please.”
Harry’s eyes traveled down to your lips at your request, and you tilted your chin up as he leaned in so you could meet his mouth, but he pulled away. Your eyebrows narrowed, but you watched as a shiteating grin pulled at the corner of his lips. 
As he leaned in again, you thought he’d comply this time, but he repeated the same actions as before. 
Just as you were letting out a whine in protest, his mouth found yours and your tongues were immediately tangling with each other’s. Regardless of the fact that you were currently riding his thigh, the kiss is what presented the true hunger, and pent up sexual frustration, between the two of you.
His mouth tasted of tequila, and you knew yours tasted the same considering the shot you had not too long ago. You knew he drank his tequila neat - which for some reason turned you on way more than you liked to admit. 
As you felt the jumping in your lower abdomen, and the tensing of your thighs around his own, you knew that you were close to your orgasm. “Harry,” you separated from the kiss as you rested your forehead against his. “I’m about to come.”
“I can tell, darling, your perfect thighs are just shaking around me,” he teased briefly, but only enough to have your swollen clit pulsating even more, not enough to make you feel embarrassed. “C’mon, Y/N. Let me see you when you come - look me in my eyes.”
With your forehead still pressed against his, moss-colored eyes boring into your own, you mewled as your climax washed over you. You could feel your cunt so desperately wanting to cling to something as you came, but you couldn’t even dwell on it. Coming just from the little bit of grinding he had coaxed you through was enough.
“That’s it,” Harry nodded, and now he was fully taking over so he could have you still rutting against him since you were practically dead weight at this point. “Fuck, I’ve dreamt of what you would look like coming for me for so long. It was even more beautiful than I could’ve ever imagined.”
His words caused a fluttering in your stomach as he slowed his movements, and your chest heaved up and down as you collapsed against his - attempting to catch your stolen breath.
“Oh my god,” you panted, licking over your bottom lip. “That was good - so good.”
Tilting your head up as you pressed your cheek against his chest, Harry leaned down to capture your mouth in a sensual kiss. You could feel one of his hands trailing up from your hip to cup your cheek, and the pad of his thumb brushed over your temple as your lips moved in synchrony.
A small smacking bounced off the brick walls surrounding the two of you as pulled away, but not far enough to where Harry couldn’t bump the tip of his nose against yours.
“You wanna get out of here? Let me take you home, and show you all the other things I’ve wanted to do?”
You nodded, as you blinked your eyes open, pulling back just a little more so you could properly look at him. “Take me home, Harry. I need you to fuck me.”
▣▣▣▣▣▣
Once Harry unlocked the door to your flat and got you inside, articles of clothing were discarded as your lips clung to each other - the two of you making your way into your room. You had told me on the ride home that you wanted to do it in your room, and he didn’t question you. You knew that he was probably aware that it was because of what you had witnessed previously.
Eventually you’d be able to be comfortable in there, but not tonight. You didn’t want anything distracting you from the big task at hand.
Before you knew it, your back was meeting your mattress in just your bra and underwear, and Harry was hovering over you in just his briefs. His eyes traced over you as both of your chests heaved - trying to catch your breath from how worked up you had gotten.
“God, you’re perfect,” Harry shook his head, raising one of his hands to palm your breast through the cup holding it. “Absolutely gorgeous.”
You could feel the heat rising in your cheeks at his compliments, and you reached up to cradle his face in your hands.
Pulling his lips down to meet yours once again, you moved them together fluidly as he reached around to undo the clasp of your bra. You kept your mouths preoccupied as he pulled the garment away from your body - tossing it onto the floor beside your bed.
“Thought you wanted me to fuck you,” Harry smiled against you, and you pulled back enough to run your fingertips over his lips.
“I do,” you nodded, smiling up at him. “But I also really like your lips - like the way they feel on mine.”
“Yeah? My mouth might feel good against some other places on your body too.”
“You think so?” The back and forth banter between the two of you made this feel so easy. You didn’t feel any pressure in the slightest.
“I know so, but if you want to see for yourself…”
Harry trailed off, and in the blink of an eye he had the two of you flipped so that you were now straddling his torso. You yelped - planting your hands down against his defined pecs as you stabilized yourself.
“How about you take those panties off, and you come up here? Take a seat on my face,” Harry brought a hand down to snap against your ass, and you couldn’t help but moan at the tingling left in its wake.
Your eyes rolled back into your head at just his words, and you didn’t waste any time in ridding yourself of your underwear - just as he asked. 
Licking over your lower lip, you crawled your way up his body slowly, and you paused while he gave attention to each of your nipples as your breasts hung in his face. He kitten licked each one for a few seconds before suctioning his lips around one of them. The pleasure was already so overwhelming, and he had hardly touched you.
You let him have a few more seconds of tending to your tits, and then you made your way all the way up - your core hovering over his face.
“Fuck,” Harry whispered as he lifted his hands for a moment, and you felt him moving your legs slightly further apart. “Look at that.”
His thumb grazed over your clit, causing your hips to stutter as you whimpered. You reached out to clutch onto the headboard while he then used both of his thumbs to spread your folds.
“You’re already dripping, Y/N,” his voice smoothed over your entire body. You were completely enraptured by him. “I bet if I talked to you a little longer, and played with your clit, that you’d be dripping all over me without me even having to put my mouth on you.”
“As much as I love hearing your filth,” you breathed, moving your other hand down to grip at his curls. “I can think of a better use for your lips and tongue at the moment.”
Harry quickly moved his hands out of the way to cup around and over the back of your thighs - his fingertips indenting the plush skin as you sat down fully on his mouth. You gasped as he immediately got to work, lapping over your weeping cunt over and over until he sealed his lips around your swollen clit.
After getting used to the feeling of him working against you, you began to rock your hips just slightly. You tightened your fingers in his hair as your head tilted back to the ceiling with your bottom lip tucked between your teeth.
He knew what he was doing, that much was true. You always got off quickly most of the time when it came to getting head, but it had never felt this good before. You knew that you’d be coming undone in no time, and that caused a swirling in your stomach as you realized that meant his cock would follow soon after.
“Harry,” you whined as his hands moved to grope at your ass, shoving you further up his face so the tip of his nose pressed against your clit - diving his tongue into your dripping entrance. “Holy fuck.”
Peering down, you saw that he was staring straight up at you which caused your lips to part in surprise. Emerald irises glistened as he spanked the other side of your ass that he neglected earlier, and that caused you to hunch over and rut your pussy harder against his face.
You could feel the band tightening in your lower abdomen, but you were eager to try another angle. Releasing the headboard, but still keeping your fingers tangled in his curls, you leaned your body back to rest your hand on his torso - right over his butterfly tattoo.
“Oh, yes,” you moaned, and the way you were now grinding had your clit hitting just right against his nose while his tongue pulsed in and out of you. “I’m right there.”
With just a few more rolls of your hips, your climax washed over you, and your body trembled as you tried to use all your strength to keep yourself from collapsing. Harry’s mouth was drenched in your orgasm, and he slipped his eyes shut as he tried to figure out if he would ever taste anything more sweet than you in his life.
Once you came to, you were quick to roll off, and onto your back beside him while closing your eyes. You ran a hand through the side of your hair as your other hand rested on your stomach - your legs still twitching while you continued to come down.
“Jesus, Y/N,” you heard Harry gasp, and you opened your eyes to look at him as he turned onto his side. He extended his hand out to run his fingertips over the swells of your breasts while he gave you time to recuperate a bit. “Don’t think I’m going to be able to get enough of that. You’ve got me addicted already.”
You giggled softly as you cupped his chin in your palm - brushing the pad of your thumb over his cheek. “We can do that again whenever you want. Head gets me off pretty fast, but that’s definitely the quickest I’ve ever come before. Your mouth is insane.”
“Told you,” he winked as he now hovered back over you once more. “Do you have condoms in here? I can run and get one from my room, if I need to.”
“Top drawer,” you pointed lazily to your nightstand, and as he reached over to retrieve the foil packet, you began to pull his briefs down his toned thighs.
Once his cock sprang to life, hitting against his lower stomach, you couldn’t help but make an audible noise as to how big he was - not to mention pretty. You wasted no time in wrapping one hand around him as you still worked his briefs off with the other, and you swiped your thumb over his damp tip. He was already slick with precome, and if you weren’t so eager to have him inside you, you would offer to suck him off.
“Like what you see?” Harry was now over you fully again, and you looked up to him while biting on your lower lip. You nodded as you ran your hand up and down his length.
“Should’ve known you’d be huge,” you commented. “Never seen a cock that I’d label as pretty, but here we are.”
Harry chuckled as he ripped the condom wrapper open with his teeth, and that caused a fresh wave of arousal to drip down the inside of your thighs. “I think you’ll like it even more once it’s pounding into you, don’t you think?”
“I don’t know,” you teased, running the tip of your tongue along the inside of your cheek. “How about you give me your worst, and we’ll find out?”
You watched as Harry’s pupils dilated, and he moved with haste to roll the rubber down his shaft - swatting your hand away. “I hope you know what you’re getting into, baby.”
“Asked you to fuck me, didn’t I? So fuck me, Harry.”
Without a second to spare, Harry guided himself into you, and he was immediately pressing in to the hilt. You groaned as you pressed your knees against him, almost up to his ribcage while you dragged your nails against his back.
“Shit,” it came out as a whimper while you looked back into Harry’s eyes, his hands gripping to your hips. “It’s tight.”
“So fucking tight, baby,” Harry echoed through gritted teeth. “Knew you would be, but you’ve got the most snug little cunt I’ve ever had. Doesn’t surprise me that you fit me so perfectly though. We’ve just been wasting time, haven’t we?”
You nodded deliriously at his words, shuddering at the combination of them and the feeling of him finally inside of you. “Doesn’t matter now. Tell me…tell me you’re mine.”
Something you’ve never seen before flashed across Harry’s eyes, and he moved one large hand from your hip to almost completely cradle one side of your face. “I’m yours, Y/N. I have been without you knowing for so long. Are you mine?”
“Yes,” you dug your nails in further as you clenched down around his length. “Yours - all yours.”
Leaning down, Harry captured you in a passionate kiss before drawing his hips back. This time he entered you at a slower rate, but once he was fully in, he jolted his hips up once more. This caused your back to arch, lips detaching as you sucked in a deep breath.
“Taking me so well, darling,” Harry crooned before you felt a hand dip between the two of you.
His long fingers separated your slit so he could get a better view of how he disappeared inside of you as he started up a heavy pace. Gathering his saliva behind his teeth, he spat down against where the two of you met, and he watched as it spread over both your parts while he continued his rhythm. 
Harry then looked up to watch your tits bounce with each thrust, and he shook his head. “How is it? Talk to me.”
“Thought you were the talker,” you jousted, sending him a playful smile. “But to answer your question, you’re hitting it…every spot. You’re so good, Harry.”
“You too. You’re so good, baby. Your pussy knows just what to do with what I’m giving it.”
You moved your hands from his back to rest along the top of his ribcage. “H-Harder.”
“Harder?” Harry twitched a brow up at your request.
“Mhmm,” you hummed.
Biting down on his bottom lip, Harry pushed onto his knees and angled your hips up higher - causing your hands to fall to the creases of his elbows as his thrusts went deeper, and more rough.
“Yes,” you moved your hips to meet his movements. “Oh…oh, I’m-”
You couldn’t even finish your sentence as you felt your third orgasm of the night take over, and every noise you could ever fathom got stuck in your throat.
“Oh, that’s it,” the corner of Harry’s lips curled as he felt you pulling him in further, but also trying to push him out. “Creaming all over me, Y/N. Just like that. Such a good girl.”
White covered your vision, but you could still hear and feel him, and without warning, Harry began to empty into the condom. His forehead was pressed firmly against yours, and with all the strength you had left, you tilted your chin up to give him a gentle kiss.
Clutching to each other, Harry eventually turned the two of you onto your sides while your fingertips danced all over each other’s skin.
“That…that was everything,” you spoke up first.
Harry smiled at you, and you returned it full force. “It was. But you’re everything.”
His words had you melting, and you curled further into him. “Please just reassure me that if things change now, it’ll be for the better.”
A moment of silence passed as you nuzzled your face into Harry’s neck - embarrassed at your insecurity.
“Y/N, baby,” you heard Harry’s voice, but you didn’t dare to look up. “I wasn’t just saying I was yours in the heat of the moment. I am entirely yours.”
You let it all sink in before you peered up to him again. “And I’m yours.”
With him still sheathed inside, a bit foolish you might add with the condom leaking, but neither of you cared - your mouths met in the most important kiss of the night. It was then you knew that giving yourselves over to each was the best decision you both had ever made.

this was just an odd read at times first of all how about we stick to the important topic of your best friend forgetting your birthday and not bring up the fact you stood and watched him have sex😭 also “if i went and checked in on him all this could’ve been avoided” he still forgot your birthday???? having to remind him doesn’t make it any better lmao
Well, to be fair, Harry brought up the topic of him having sex first when he asked if she was there earlier. She was angry that he forgot her birthday, so she wanted to throw it in his face (also, as stated, she had alcohol in her system and was letting a lot of that do the talking). If you read onto the second part of the blurb, they were clearly avoiding each other, and the situation as a whole still upset her (him forgetting her birthday, and what he said to her).
So, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it….

“Slip-Up”
best friend/roommate!harry x you
Word Count: 8.7k
Warnings: Sex not w/ Y/N (very brief - small mention of spanking during this), public sex act (exhibitionism - thigh riding), more spanking, face-riding, spitting, size kink (if you squint) and protected sex
Plot: It's your birthday, and you and Harry are meant to be going out with friends. However, when you arrive home from work, you discover Harry is otherwise... preoccupied. From that point on, tensions between you both rise, and you wonder if your friendship will ever be the same again.
(Once again, thank you to my bestie @finelinenina for letting me bounce ideas around for this one, and for helping me narrow down how the plot should read 🫶🏻)
▣▣▣▣▣▣
Today of all days, it seemed like it took the clock forever to hit seven o’clock. You knew why. You knew it was because you were excited to go out with all of your friends for your 27th birthday. As soon as your shift at the hospital was over, you quickly clocked out, and practically raced to your car so you could head home.
Your music was blaring as you drove down the interstate - singing to all your favorite songs to get you in the mood for tonight’s festivities. Harry had promised you that he was going to make tonight special, having it be your first birthday since the two of you decided to rent a flat together. 
Renting together just made sense. You were best friends who both had leases ending at the same time, and both of your roommates were going to be moving in with their significant others. Your ex-roommate, but still friend, Corrine, was actually the one who had suggested it to you. When you brought it up to Harry, he said he was thinking of asking you too, but he didn’t know if it would make you feel uncomfortable.
You and Harry had been friends for the last seven years now. You were introduced by mutual friends at a frat party, and the rest was history from there. You were both extremely lucky to keep the same group of friends after graduating from university, so it was like you all continued to grow up together.
You weren’t sure what Harry meant when he said he was going to make this particular birthday special, but you were trying not to get your hopes up too much.
Truth was, you’ve had a crush on Harry since before the two of you moved in together. The realization came to you while the two of you were singing karaoke together almost four years ago now, but you’ve never breathed a word of it to anyone - not even Corrine.
Deep down, you were hoping that he realized he felt the same way about you, and that tonight he planned on confessing his undying love. Again, you didn’t want to get your hopes up.
You pulled into the parking lot of your complex, still humming along joyfully to the last song that had been playing in your car as you walked up your stairs. Slipping the key into the lock, you started inside, and you braced yourself for what could be waiting for you.
As you looked up from your feet, you felt your smile fall as the flat was just as you left it. There were no balloons, no decorations, and it was completely silent.
Trying not to jump to conclusions, you hung your purse up on the hook on the wall, and you started through your living room to head down the hallway. It was then that you heard labored breathing as you approached Harry’s door - which you soon realized was cracked.
You peered inside, curiosity getting the best of you, and your lips parted as you saw blonde hair trickling down the back of a petite figure. She was naked, that much you could tell, with Harry’s sheets pooled around her waist. Her hips were rocking back and forth as her small moans filled his room.
“Just like that, sweetheart. Keep moving those hips,” you heard Harry’s silky voice, and soon you saw his large hands pressing against her back - his rings still on and indenting her skin. “Doing so good for me.”
Almost gasping out loud, you quickly clamped your hand against your mouth so as not to blow your cover. The last thing you needed was Harry seeing you standing there, but you weren’t able to walk away.
“Harry,” the girl whined above him, and you watched as one of Harry’s hands now disappeared underneath the sheets. It was then a high-pitched squeak left her as you heard a crack of skin against skin.
He had spanked her.
“Does it feel good for you too? Squeezing all over me, hm? Such a sweet girl you are.”
You pressed your thighs together at the sultry tone he was laying on, pretty thick you might add, and your eyes widened as Harry suddenly flipped them over. The sheets didn’t cover his hips like they did for the woman, and you were soon met with his bare ass right in your line of vision.
From there, you could see the muscles in his back flexing as he pounded the woman into the mattress before you heard him speak again. “God, just look at you. You’re taking me so well, darling. Looking all dreamy getting fucked by my cock.”
That’s what did you in, and you raced into your room, but you made sure to shut the door quietly behind you. You stared at the wooden surface for a moment before walking backwards until you hit the chair in front of your vanity. 
Plopping down onto the furniture, your hands fell into your lap, and you stared blankly at the wall.
It wasn’t the fact that Harry was having sex with someone that bothered you. You both had an agreement that it was okay to bring people over whenever you wanted, but today was your birthday.
He had the last couple hours after he got off of work, knowing you would still be at work, but he chose now? He knew you’d be home right past seven. You had been looking forward to getting ready with him for your night out. The plan was to pregame with a cocktail or two, as well as indulging in some junk food to make sure your stomachs were properly coated for tonight’s adventure.
But now…now you weren’t even sure if he still planned on coming.
Deciding not to dwell too much on it, you turned to face your mirror as you grabbed your AirPods off the vanity’s surface - slipping them into your ears. You took your phone out of your pocket, and you selected the birthday playlist you had curated as you started in on your makeup.
Once your hair and makeup were done, and you were properly dressed in the outfit you chose specifically for tonight, you exited your bedroom. It had taken you a little over an hour to get ready, and you glanced down the hall - seeing that Harry’s door was now shut. However, the faint sound from his TV still managed to bleed through the hallway, and you frowned.
It was then you knew he must’ve forgotten, and that he wouldn’t be joining you tonight.
It dawned on you that maybe you expected too much from him. That maybe you held him at a higher regard all because of those feelings you shoved deep down inside.
You weren’t sure if the girl was still there, and you didn’t want to be a buzzkill by knocking on the door to remind him of the plans you’ve had set in place for almost two months now, so you decided to leave it alone. Rolling your shoulders back, you held your head up high as you grabbed your purse from beside the door, and you slipped out of your flat.
You weren’t going to let him ruin your night.
▣▣▣▣▣▣
Your giggles bounced off the walls of the hallway leading to your flat as the man you let take you home, Parker, pressed you against your door. His lips attacked your neck with his hands squeezing your hips, and you gasped as his teeth nipped as your shoulder.
“You’re going to have to let me open the door at some point,” you breathed, and were finally able to peel him off of you enough to turn around.
It wasn’t too late, just a little past midnight, but truthfully you were tired from your shift at the hospital earlier. At this point, you just wanted to get each other off, and then go to sleep.
Slipping your key into the lock, you turned it and then opened the door - the two of you stumbling inside as his arms were right back around your waist. You looked up, lips parting in surprise as you saw Harry seated on the couch with a beer bottle raised to his mouth.
Parker hadn’t seen him yet as his face was buried in your neck, and you cleared your throat as you raised one of your hands to reach back and tangle into his hair. “Parker.”
He hummed against your skin before lifting his head, and he froze completely once he laid eyes on Harry.
“Shit, you have a roommate?” 
You swallowed harshly at his words. You hadn’t brought up living with Harry once tonight, and that was something you usually let your hook-ups know off the bat. You always wanted to make sure they were comfortable coming back with you knowing that you had a roommate.
“Sorry, I think it just slipped my mind to mention it tonight,” you didn’t mean for your words to come out as bitter as they did with your eyes still on Harry. You left them there for a moment before looking back to Parker over your shoulder. “Is that okay? We’ll go to my room.”
Parker sighed as he unraveled himself from you, and he shook his head as he tucked his hands into his pockets. “I kinda have this thing about hooking up with people knowing their roommate is home.”
You knew you couldn’t be angry. It was your fault that you had failed to inform him that you didn’t live alone.
“No, that’s okay,” you nod. “I understand. I can call you an Uber?”
“That won’t be necessary, honey. I can take care of it,” Parker walked forward and placed a hand on your hip before pressing a kiss to your temple. “Happy birthday again, Y/N.”
You lowered your head to stare at your feet as Parker walked past you, and out of the apartment. The only sound for a while being the TV that had been playing, but you slowly looked over to see Harry staring at you from the couch.
“Y/N,” he said, and you could see it registered all over his face.
Parker telling you happy birthday one last time had made him realize that he forgot.
“I’m going to bed,” you said quickly as you walked through the living room and towards the hallway.
“No, please,” Harry set his beer down before pushing himself off the couch to follow you. “I need to make this right before you go to sleep.”
“What’s there to make right?” You laughed softly as you stepped into your bedroom, beginning to dig through your dresser to grab a pair of underwear and a big t-shirt to sleep in for the night.
“Come on. Don’t act like it doesn’t matter because it does. I…I forgot your birthday.”
Hearing him actually say it felt like a punch to the gut, and you paused your movements for a moment as it registered before you shook your head. “It really doesn’t matter.”
“It doesn’t…” Harry trailed off, following you as you moved across the room to remove your jewelry at your vanity. “It does matter! I had this day planned for you for months, and all of a sudden it slipped my mind. I don’t know how-”
“You didn’t even text me tonight to figure out where I was,” you told him.
“Because it’s Wednesday. You always work until three in the morning on Wednesday night into Thursday morning.”
A bitter laugh left you at that, and you glanced over at Harry again. “It’s Thursday, Harry. Well, technically Friday now, but…”
Harry moved to sit on the edge of your bed as his eyes slipped shut - running his face over his hands. “Oh my fucking god.”
“I got home a little after seven, and I was expecting to start pregaming with you, but you were…a little tied up.”
You hated mentioning what you came home to, but you figured it was better for you to let him know you were aware of what happened instead of him asking you himself.
Harry dropped his hands quickly, and he looked at you with wide eyes.
“You were here when…”
“Yep,” you popped the “p” as you spoke. “I’ll make sure to be quiet in the bathroom so I don’t wake her up.”
You had expected for her to be asleep in Harry’s bed. Harry was a night owl, so it wasn’t a surprise that he was up this late.
“She’s not here anymore. She left pretty soon after.”
Now you could’ve kicked yourself. If you had just knocked on his door like you wanted to before you left, you would’ve known that she was gone, and Harry would’ve been with you tonight. This whole thing could’ve been avoided.
“Yeah, well, at least one of us got some on my birthday,” you spat.
You were still angry at him for mixing up the days, but now you were mad at yourself for not just growing a pair and checking in with him earlier.
“Hey,” Harry said sternly, and you saw him get off your bed out of the corner of your eye. “I said I was sorry.”
“Sorry doesn’t take away the fact that I saw you fucking someone today!”
“You watched us?” Harry’s eyebrows narrowed, and you weren’t sure if you had ever seen him look like this. “What the hell, Y/N?”
“It’s not like it was on purpose! Don’t you dare try to make that into something it’s not,” you pointed your finger at him. “Your door was cracked, and I could hear breathing because it was so quiet in here. I was honestly worried at first, but then I saw the two of you all over each other.”
“How long did you watch us?”
Now you could’ve easily lied. You could’ve told him that you immediately looked away the second you realized what you were witnessing, and that you went straight into your room.
But the many shots you had consumed tonight started to do the talking, and you tilted your head to the side. “Long enough to hear just how sweet and dreamy she was for you.”
Harry took a step forward, and you took one backwards - the back of your thighs clashing against your vanity. “You completely invaded my privacy today, and I don’t appreciate that. At. All.”
“Your door was cracked,” you reiterated, snapping back at him through clenched teeth. “Not my fault you got your days mixed up.”
You could see that Harry ran his tongue over the inside of his cheek before he took a step back. “You crossed a line.”
“You forgot my birthday.”
Shaking his head, he walked towards your door, and turned around to look at you over his shoulder. “Probably had a better time with her anyway than I would’ve had tonight with you.”
Your face fell as you registered his words, and tears instantly flooded your waterline. It wasn’t until Harry slammed his bedroom door shut that you closed your eyes tight - biting down on the inside of your cheeks to keep yourself from making any noise.
You gave yourself a few minutes to calm down before gathering your pajamas with shaking hands, and you walked into the bathroom - eager to take a shower to wash away the worst birthday of your entire life.
▣▣▣▣▣▣
For the next two weeks, you had managed to properly avoid Harry, but he was also trying to avoid you as well. You both would listen to make sure the other had come back into their room before exiting your own, and if you were going out with friends, you made sure the other wouldn’t be going as well.
That’s why tonight, as you walked into the bar you and your friends usually frequent on Friday nights, you stopped in your tracks when you saw Harry over by one of the pool tables. He was talking with Corrine’s boyfriend, Shahid, and you swallowed harshly at the fact this was the first time you were laying eyes on him in two weeks.
You were a little bummed, to be honest. Tonight, you had dressed with the intention of maybe trying to find someone to bring home - your outfit being one that involved one of your shortest skirts. There was a lot of pent up frustration that you needed to release due to your current situation with Harry, and you hoped a good one night stand could help you out with that.
“Y/N!” You heard your name being called, and you looked over to see Corrine walking away from the bar with a beer in each of her hands.
“Corrine,” you said back as you approached her, shaking your head. “What the hell? Why didn’t you tell me that Harry was going to be here.”
You had opened up to Corrine about what happened earlier in the week, and you even maybe talked a little too much after your third glass of wine - spilling your true feelings for Harry to her.
“Look, I know it’s probably really shitty of us, but Shahid and I both know how terribly you and Harry feel about what happened - even though you guys aren’t willing to admit that to each other yet. We figured maybe having other people around for the first time since the fight may help ease the tension a little bit,” she shrugged as you started heading over to the pool tables, and you sucked in a deep breath.
“I really don’t know if this is the best plan,” you told her, but continued to follow.
Once you got to where all of your friends were, you made it a point to stand as far away from Harry as possible as you greeted some of them - painting on a smile to mask your uneasiness. You didn’t want Harry to know that what happened affected you in such a way. You wanted him to think that you were fine with just ignoring him.
Eventually you were dragged by a friend back over to the bar to grab yourself a drink and a shot, and as you trailed behind them, you could feel Harry’s eyes on you as you walked.
As angry as you still were about the whole situation, you still missed Harry’s company. He was your best friend, and everything felt off having gone without speaking to him for so long. But your feelings were still very hurt, especially by the last thing he had said to you that night. You weren’t sure how you were going to move on from those words.
You quickly downed your shot, and then grabbed your beer off the bar. When walking back over to your other friends again, you heard unfamiliar giggles, and when you rounded the corner, you saw a blonde sitting on the edge of the pool table - Harry leaning down with his hands on either side of her hips as they talked.
Once you got closer, you recognized her as the girl that he had in his bedroom on your birthday, and you’re not sure why that caused such sadness to fester inside your chest.
You looked away as fast as possible, and you peered over to Corrine who gave you a sympathetic smile. “If it helps, he didn’t invite whoever that is. She recognized him from across the bar and came over.”
“That’s her,” you sighed, taking a sip from your beer as you leaned against the wall.
Corrine’s eyes widened as she looked at the girl and then back to you. “Wait like…her her?”
“Mhmm,” you hummed with a nod as you pulled your pint glass away from your mouth.
Looking past Corrine, you saw your friend, Elliott. You knew he smoked, and even though you didn’t all that often, you were in desperate need of a cigarette at this very moment.
“Hey, El,” you said to grab his attention before downing the rest of your beer so that you could properly walk over to him. “Do you think I could bum a cig off you? I’ll buy you a shot.”
Elliott was closer to Harry than you had been originally standing before, and you noticed that he had paused his conversation with the girl upon hearing your voice - head tilting slightly towards you as he looked at you out of the corner of his eye
“Yeah, here,” Elliott dug into his pocket to retrieve his pack, sliding a stick out to pass to you. “But don’t worry about buying me a shot. It’s a fresh pack - no big deal.”
“Thanks,” you smiled as you took it from him, and he handed you his lighter as well. You walked back over to Corrine before gesturing your head towards one of the exits. “I’m just going to step into the alley for a moment for a smoke. I’ll be right back.”
“You sure you don’t want me to go with you?” Corrine asked with knitted brows, but you shook your head.
“I’m alright. Just need to clear my head for a moment.”
As you turned around to make your way towards your destination, you made eye contact with Harry for the first time in two fucking weeks. It stole the breath from your lungs when you saw such a mix of emotions swirling in his moss colored eyes, and you quickly looked away.
Making sure you had your phone on you, you made your way towards the exit, and you slipped outside. The air was a bit cooler outside, but not too cool to have you freezing. The bar was warm inside due to all the people, so it was a bit refreshing to feel the breeze. You pulled your cardigan tighter around yourself as you leaned up against the brick wall of the alleyway - glancing up at the stars for a moment.
Sticking the much needed cigarette between your lips, you cupped the end of the stick to make sure you were covering the flame as you lit it up, and you sucked in a long drag immediately - tucking Elliott’s lighter into your back pocket.
It was only a minute or two later that you heard the alley door slam, and you looked over to see Harry. He was facing the other direction at first. His back was to you as he ran a hand through his curls - the other loosely on his hip.
“Fuck,” you heard him sigh, shaking his head as he turned around and started back towards the door, but then stopped once he set his sights on you.
You watched as his eyes trailed all the way up from your boots, over your outfit and up to your face before his lips parted.
“Hi,” he breathed as you took another long drag from your cigarette, but you still kept your eyes on him.
“Hi,” you replied, exhaling the smoke from your lungs as you did so.
The air felt tight around the two of you, and you looked down to flick some ash onto the ground as he spoke again.
“I-I haven’t seen you,” he stammered.
You pursed your lips to the side at his statement before shrugging. “Didn’t think you wanted to, and to be honest, I didn’t really want to see you. Not…not after what you said.”
Your eyes flickered back over to Harry, and his expression was one of regret. “I’ve been wanting to talk to you about what I said. I just…I didn’t know how to approach it.”
“Yeah, well,” you sighed, shaking your head as you licked over your bottom lip. “I know you have a better time with her than you do with me. So you best be getting back before I ruin your night. I can just stay at Corrine and Shahid’s after this - that way you’ll have the place to yourself with her.”
“C’mon, Y/N,” Harry sighed as he shoved his hands into his front pockets - making no movement to head back inside. “Don’t be like that.”
“What?” You asked, eyebrows narrowing. “I’m just repeating your own words.”
“I know I don’t deserve it, but will you please let me explain?”
You stayed silent as you took another drag from your cigarette, but you gave him a nod.
“That night, I took out the emotions I felt towards myself out on you. And I feel horrible about that,” Harry started, and you weren’t sure if you had ever seen him look so nervous. “I was angry and upset with myself that I had forgotten your birthday like that, and to be honest, I was a little embarrassed at the fact that you saw me like…that. I know all of that isn’t an excuse for what I said, but I need you to know that I wish I could take it back. It’s not how I feel at all - not in the slightest.”
Letting his words process, you looked back up at the sky as you did so. You could see where he was coming from, you also would’ve felt all those things that night if the situation had been reversed, but you still don’t know if you could ever say what he had. Even just thinking about what he said, and how he said it, caused your heart to ache.
“I guess I should apologize too,” you said after a moment, looking back over at Harry. “I shouldn’t have stayed outside of your bedroom so long once I realized what was happening, and I really shouldn’t have used the way you were talking to her against you. That wasn’t my place, no matter how upset I was about you forgetting my birthday.”
After a moment or two, Harry’s hands left his pockets as he stepped closer to you - just as you dropped your cigarette down onto the ground to snuff it out with the toe of your boot. 
“I’ve been beating myself up so much over the whole thing,” Harry swallowed harshly as he held your eyes. “I keep thinking of ways that I could make it up to you, but nothing I think of seems right - it all feels too minimal.”
“Don’t worry about it,” you told him, fighting the urge to reach out and touch him in some way. “It’s over, and in the past. We can just put it behind us.”
“No,” Harry shook his head. “I haven’t been able to stop worrying about it, Y/N. I had so much planned for you that day, for us. And I fucked it all up just to get a mediocre lay.”
Your eyebrows raised at his words, and you could tell by the look on his face that he didn’t mean for them to slip - blush now trailing over his cheeks. “Mediocre? Didn’t…it didn’t sound like it was mediocre.”
“Why do you think I took over?” Harry said, feeling a bit awkward about having this conversation, but he knew it was too late to try to backtrack now. “She couldn’t ride me for shit. I was hoping by saying all that stuff it would encourage her, but if anything, it just made it worse.”
You couldn’t help but snort out a laugh, and you lifted your hand to press your fingertips lightly against your lips as you continued to giggle. Harry’s eyes lit up at the sound of your laughter, and it was then he realized just how much he had missed hearing it. He couldn’t help but let out a chuckle with you, shaking his head.
“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to laugh,” you said, trying to get yourself to calm down. “That’s just not how it appeared to me at all.”
Now that the tension seemed to completely ease, Harry closed almost all space between the two of you as he turned to face your side - leaning his shoulder against the brick wall that you had your back against. “Well, between you and me, if I’m feeling it, my mouth is a lot more filthy than that.”
Swallowing down a gasp at his confession, his words went straight to your clit that momentarily throbbed now that you knew this information. If that was him not even being as filthy as he could be, you couldn’t even imagine how he would talk if he were fully into it.
“Y-Yeah?” You stammered, clearing your throat after. 
“Mhmm,” Harry hummed as he tugged his plump bottom lip through his teeth, and you watched as his eyes trailed over you once more. “Can I ask you a question, Y/N?”
Suddenly at a loss for words, your nod in compliance was almost immediate given the way the tone of Harry’s voice had changed.
“I want to preface this by saying you don’t have to answer this if you don’t want to. I also could be reading your body language completely wrong right now, and I may have misjudged the past situation entirely,” Harry reached out, fingertips lightly brushing against the side of your neck. “But did you stick around that evening because you liked what you heard?”
Goosebumps hadn’t coated your skin from the breeze tonight, but they sure appeared due to Harry’s touch. He rendered you completely speechless, and you knew now that you had hesitated too long for you to lie and deny it, so you figured now was as good of a time as any to let the truth come out.
“Yes,” you whispered as Harry lifted his hand to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear.
You watched as he pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek before speaking again. “Tell me more.”
Your eyes darted back and forth between the two of his, and for a split second you wondered if this was some sort of trap, for him to speak negatively to you again, but you knew him - you knew what happened the night of your birthday was a fluke. That wasn’t your typical Harry.
“When I came home, I was hoping that you would’ve had everything ready to celebrate,” you decided just to start from the beginning - when you realized your feelings had been hurt. “And then, I peeked into your bedroom, and I saw the two of you. And I-”
You cut yourself off with a gasp as Harry had now run his hand back down to wrap around the front of your throat - not applying any pressure, but having his palm rest against it.
“And that’s what I had hoped would’ve happened to us when we got home that night,” you confessed as you pushed through the need to cower away from expressing your true feelings. “I just wanted you to feel the same way I had felt - to want the same things I wanted.”
A look of realization glazed over Harry’s eyes, and then it all clicked for him. The two of you were crushing on each other, and he didn’t know how long you had been crushing on him, but if he was being completely honest, his crush started the night he met you. He had never met someone as fun and bubbly as you. He found you absolutely stunning, but he just never thought you would reciprocate.
“Oh, Y/N,” Harry clicked his tongue against the back of his teeth, and at first you thought he was going to reprimand you - to tell you that you were out of your mind for thinking anything could ever happen between the two of you. “If you only knew the things I’ve been wanting to do to you.”
You bit down on your bottom lip to suppress a moan, feeling downright pathetic for coming completely undone at just his words, and his hand on your body. 
“Can I show you one of them right now, hm?” Harry tilted his head to the side. “I can see you pressing your thighs together, darling.”
Looking down, you saw that he was right. You hadn’t even noticed you were doing it, but Harry tightening the grip on your throat had you snapping your eyes back up to him in an instant. You nodded helplessly, and Harry felt his cock twitch in his jeans at the doe-eyed look on your face.
“I need your words. I’m not touching you in any other way until I hear your words.”
“Yes,” you gasped, and he used your consent to apply pressure to your pulse points with his thumb and middle finger. “Please, show me, Harry.”
Dropping his hand from your neck, he pushed himself off the wall to stand completely in front of you now. You held eye contact as his hands reached out to grab at your hips, and he slotted one of his toned thighs right between yours. With one single movement, he now had your core pressed against his jean covered muscle, and you sucked in a deep breath at the sensation.
“This alright, baby? Are you going to let me show you? You’re going to help me take care of you?” 
“Yes,” you lifted your hands to rest on his shoulders, and you clenched down around nothing at the delicious pressure that was so delicately being applied to your clit. “I want to help you.”
You didn’t even care about who could potentially walk by and see you. All you could think about was him. To be honest, the fear of the two of you getting caught in the act just made you even more hungry for it.
Now smirking, Harry slowly began to rock your hips back and forth so your cunt was grinding against his thigh through both your sheer stockings, and your underwear. You moaned, and you tilted your head back as your eyes slipped shut.
“Ah,” Harry reprimanded, bringing a hand down to pinch one of the rounds of your ass underneath your skirt quickly. “If we’re going to do this, you keep your eyes on me, you understand?”
Your eyes shot open at the sensation of the pads of his digits clamping down around your skin, and with his ultimatum lingering, you nodded once more. “I understand.”
“Good girl.”
That had you whimpering as you bit down on your lower lip, and Harry didn’t waste anymore time in getting you to rock against his thigh again. Your fingertips dug into the material of the t-shirt he had on, but you soon found yourself clutching to it - wringing it in the palm of your hands.
“Feel good, Y/N?”
“So good,” you squeaked out, and Harry moved one of his hands down to your thigh before lifting your leg - hitching your knee against one of his hips. The change in angle had you grinding down right on your clit. It was everything you could do to keep your eyes open from how overwhelming it felt.
“Wet little cunt just grinding right against me, hm?” Harry lifted your skirt just the slightest bit so he could quickly take a peek down at where you connected before holding your eyes again. “And to think, this is just the beginning. Can’t wait to ravish you.”
You were more than thankful that he was assisting you in your movements because your legs soon started to tremble, and you knew it wouldn’t be long before you hit your peak. 
You, unfortunately, hadn’t been able to have an orgasm since your fight with Harry. It didn’t matter how hard you tried, your mind wouldn’t let you succumb to the pleasure you felt while using one of your toys. The anger between the two of you was at the forefront of your thoughts.
“Harry,” you breathed - earning you a hum in response. “Kiss me, please.”
Harry’s eyes traveled down to your lips at your request, and you tilted your chin up as he leaned in so you could meet his mouth, but he pulled away. Your eyebrows narrowed, but you watched as a shiteating grin pulled at the corner of his lips. 
As he leaned in again, you thought he’d comply this time, but he repeated the same actions as before. 
Just as you were letting out a whine in protest, his mouth found yours and your tongues were immediately tangling with each other’s. Regardless of the fact that you were currently riding his thigh, the kiss is what presented the true hunger, and pent up sexual frustration, between the two of you.
His mouth tasted of tequila, and you knew yours tasted the same considering the shot you had not too long ago. You knew he drank his tequila neat - which for some reason turned you on way more than you liked to admit. 
As you felt the jumping in your lower abdomen, and the tensing of your thighs around his own, you knew that you were close to your orgasm. “Harry,” you separated from the kiss as you rested your forehead against his. “I’m about to come.”
“I can tell, darling, your perfect thighs are just shaking around me,” he teased briefly, but only enough to have your swollen clit pulsating even more, not enough to make you feel embarrassed. “C’mon, Y/N. Let me see you when you come - look me in my eyes.”
With your forehead still pressed against his, moss-colored eyes boring into your own, you mewled as your climax washed over you. You could feel your cunt so desperately wanting to cling to something as you came, but you couldn’t even dwell on it. Coming just from the little bit of grinding he had coaxed you through was enough.
“That’s it,” Harry nodded, and now he was fully taking over so he could have you still rutting against him since you were practically dead weight at this point. “Fuck, I’ve dreamt of what you would look like coming for me for so long. It was even more beautiful than I could’ve ever imagined.”
His words caused a fluttering in your stomach as he slowed his movements, and your chest heaved up and down as you collapsed against his - attempting to catch your stolen breath.
“Oh my god,” you panted, licking over your bottom lip. “That was good - so good.”
Tilting your head up as you pressed your cheek against his chest, Harry leaned down to capture your mouth in a sensual kiss. You could feel one of his hands trailing up from your hip to cup your cheek, and the pad of his thumb brushed over your temple as your lips moved in synchrony.
A small smacking bounced off the brick walls surrounding the two of you as pulled away, but not far enough to where Harry couldn’t bump the tip of his nose against yours.
“You wanna get out of here? Let me take you home, and show you all the other things I’ve wanted to do?”
You nodded, as you blinked your eyes open, pulling back just a little more so you could properly look at him. “Take me home, Harry. I need you to fuck me.”
▣▣▣▣▣▣
Once Harry unlocked the door to your flat and got you inside, articles of clothing were discarded as your lips clung to each other - the two of you making your way into your room. You had told me on the ride home that you wanted to do it in your room, and he didn’t question you. You knew that he was probably aware that it was because of what you had witnessed previously.
Eventually you’d be able to be comfortable in there, but not tonight. You didn’t want anything distracting you from the big task at hand.
Before you knew it, your back was meeting your mattress in just your bra and underwear, and Harry was hovering over you in just his briefs. His eyes traced over you as both of your chests heaved - trying to catch your breath from how worked up you had gotten.
“God, you’re perfect,” Harry shook his head, raising one of his hands to palm your breast through the cup holding it. “Absolutely gorgeous.”
You could feel the heat rising in your cheeks at his compliments, and you reached up to cradle his face in your hands.
Pulling his lips down to meet yours once again, you moved them together fluidly as he reached around to undo the clasp of your bra. You kept your mouths preoccupied as he pulled the garment away from your body - tossing it onto the floor beside your bed.
“Thought you wanted me to fuck you,” Harry smiled against you, and you pulled back enough to run your fingertips over his lips.
“I do,” you nodded, smiling up at him. “But I also really like your lips - like the way they feel on mine.”
“Yeah? My mouth might feel good against some other places on your body too.”
“You think so?” The back and forth banter between the two of you made this feel so easy. You didn’t feel any pressure in the slightest.
“I know so, but if you want to see for yourself…”
Harry trailed off, and in the blink of an eye he had the two of you flipped so that you were now straddling his torso. You yelped - planting your hands down against his defined pecs as you stabilized yourself.
“How about you take those panties off, and you come up here? Take a seat on my face,” Harry brought a hand down to snap against your ass, and you couldn’t help but moan at the tingling left in its wake.
Your eyes rolled back into your head at just his words, and you didn’t waste any time in ridding yourself of your underwear - just as he asked. 
Licking over your lower lip, you crawled your way up his body slowly, and you paused while he gave attention to each of your nipples as your breasts hung in his face. He kitten licked each one for a few seconds before suctioning his lips around one of them. The pleasure was already so overwhelming, and he had hardly touched you.
You let him have a few more seconds of tending to your tits, and then you made your way all the way up - your core hovering over his face.
“Fuck,” Harry whispered as he lifted his hands for a moment, and you felt him moving your legs slightly further apart. “Look at that.”
His thumb grazed over your clit, causing your hips to stutter as you whimpered. You reached out to clutch onto the headboard while he then used both of his thumbs to spread your folds.
“You’re already dripping, Y/N,” his voice smoothed over your entire body. You were completely enraptured by him. “I bet if I talked to you a little longer, and played with your clit, that you��d be dripping all over me without me even having to put my mouth on you.”
“As much as I love hearing your filth,” you breathed, moving your other hand down to grip at his curls. “I can think of a better use for your lips and tongue at the moment.”
Harry quickly moved his hands out of the way to cup around and over the back of your thighs - his fingertips indenting the plush skin as you sat down fully on his mouth. You gasped as he immediately got to work, lapping over your weeping cunt over and over until he sealed his lips around your swollen clit.
After getting used to the feeling of him working against you, you began to rock your hips just slightly. You tightened your fingers in his hair as your head tilted back to the ceiling with your bottom lip tucked between your teeth.
He knew what he was doing, that much was true. You always got off quickly most of the time when it came to getting head, but it had never felt this good before. You knew that you’d be coming undone in no time, and that caused a swirling in your stomach as you realized that meant his cock would follow soon after.
“Harry,” you whined as his hands moved to grope at your ass, shoving you further up his face so the tip of his nose pressed against your clit - diving his tongue into your dripping entrance. “Holy fuck.”
Peering down, you saw that he was staring straight up at you which caused your lips to part in surprise. Emerald irises glistened as he spanked the other side of your ass that he neglected earlier, and that caused you to hunch over and rut your pussy harder against his face.
You could feel the band tightening in your lower abdomen, but you were eager to try another angle. Releasing the headboard, but still keeping your fingers tangled in his curls, you leaned your body back to rest your hand on his torso - right over his butterfly tattoo.
“Oh, yes,” you moaned, and the way you were now grinding had your clit hitting just right against his nose while his tongue pulsed in and out of you. “I’m right there.”
With just a few more rolls of your hips, your climax washed over you, and your body trembled as you tried to use all your strength to keep yourself from collapsing. Harry’s mouth was drenched in your orgasm, and he slipped his eyes shut as he tried to figure out if he would ever taste anything more sweet than you in his life.
Once you came to, you were quick to roll off, and onto your back beside him while closing your eyes. You ran a hand through the side of your hair as your other hand rested on your stomach - your legs still twitching while you continued to come down.
“Jesus, Y/N,” you heard Harry gasp, and you opened your eyes to look at him as he turned onto his side. He extended his hand out to run his fingertips over the swells of your breasts while he gave you time to recuperate a bit. “Don’t think I’m going to be able to get enough of that. You’ve got me addicted already.”
You giggled softly as you cupped his chin in your palm - brushing the pad of your thumb over his cheek. “We can do that again whenever you want. Head gets me off pretty fast, but that’s definitely the quickest I’ve ever come before. Your mouth is insane.”
“Told you,” he winked as he now hovered back over you once more. “Do you have condoms in here? I can run and get one from my room, if I need to.”
“Top drawer,” you pointed lazily to your nightstand, and as he reached over to retrieve the foil packet, you began to pull his briefs down his toned thighs.
Once his cock sprang to life, hitting against his lower stomach, you couldn’t help but make an audible noise as to how big he was - not to mention pretty. You wasted no time in wrapping one hand around him as you still worked his briefs off with the other, and you swiped your thumb over his damp tip. He was already slick with precome, and if you weren’t so eager to have him inside you, you would offer to suck him off.
“Like what you see?” Harry was now over you fully again, and you looked up to him while biting on your lower lip. You nodded as you ran your hand up and down his length.
“Should’ve known you’d be huge,” you commented. “Never seen a cock that I’d label as pretty, but here we are.”
Harry chuckled as he ripped the condom wrapper open with his teeth, and that caused a fresh wave of arousal to drip down the inside of your thighs. “I think you’ll like it even more once it’s pounding into you, don’t you think?”
“I don’t know,” you teased, running the tip of your tongue along the inside of your cheek. “How about you give me your worst, and we’ll find out?”
You watched as Harry’s pupils dilated, and he moved with haste to roll the rubber down his shaft - swatting your hand away. “I hope you know what you’re getting into, baby.”
“Asked you to fuck me, didn’t I? So fuck me, Harry.”
Without a second to spare, Harry guided himself into you, and he was immediately pressing in to the hilt. You groaned as you pressed your knees against him, almost up to his ribcage while you dragged your nails against his back.
“Shit,” it came out as a whimper while you looked back into Harry’s eyes, his hands gripping to your hips. “It’s tight.”
“So fucking tight, baby,” Harry echoed through gritted teeth. “Knew you would be, but you’ve got the most snug little cunt I’ve ever had. Doesn’t surprise me that you fit me so perfectly though. We’ve just been wasting time, haven’t we?”
You nodded deliriously at his words, shuddering at the combination of them and the feeling of him finally inside of you. “Doesn’t matter now. Tell me…tell me you’re mine.”
Something you’ve never seen before flashed across Harry’s eyes, and he moved one large hand from your hip to almost completely cradle one side of your face. “I’m yours, Y/N. I have been without you knowing for so long. Are you mine?”
“Yes,” you dug your nails in further as you clenched down around his length. “Yours - all yours.”
Leaning down, Harry captured you in a passionate kiss before drawing his hips back. This time he entered you at a slower rate, but once he was fully in, he jolted his hips up once more. This caused your back to arch, lips detaching as you sucked in a deep breath.
“Taking me so well, darling,” Harry crooned before you felt a hand dip between the two of you.
His long fingers separated your slit so he could get a better view of how he disappeared inside of you as he started up a heavy pace. Gathering his saliva behind his teeth, he spat down against where the two of you met, and he watched as it spread over both your parts while he continued his rhythm. 
Harry then looked up to watch your tits bounce with each thrust, and he shook his head. “How is it? Talk to me.”
“Thought you were the talker,” you jousted, sending him a playful smile. “But to answer your question, you’re hitting it…every spot. You’re so good, Harry.”
“You too. You’re so good, baby. Your pussy knows just what to do with what I’m giving it.”
You moved your hands from his back to rest along the top of his ribcage. “H-Harder.”
“Harder?” Harry twitched a brow up at your request.
“Mhmm,” you hummed.
Biting down on his bottom lip, Harry pushed onto his knees and angled your hips up higher - causing your hands to fall to the creases of his elbows as his thrusts went deeper, and more rough.
“Yes,” you moved your hips to meet his movements. “Oh…oh, I’m-”
You couldn’t even finish your sentence as you felt your third orgasm of the night take over, and every noise you could ever fathom got stuck in your throat.
“Oh, that’s it,” the corner of Harry’s lips curled as he felt you pulling him in further, but also trying to push him out. “Creaming all over me, Y/N. Just like that. Such a good girl.”
White covered your vision, but you could still hear and feel him, and without warning, Harry began to empty into the condom. His forehead was pressed firmly against yours, and with all the strength you had left, you tilted your chin up to give him a gentle kiss.
Clutching to each other, Harry eventually turned the two of you onto your sides while your fingertips danced all over each other’s skin.
“That…that was everything,” you spoke up first.
Harry smiled at you, and you returned it full force. “It was. But you’re everything.”
His words had you melting, and you curled further into him. “Please just reassure me that if things change now, it’ll be for the better.”
A moment of silence passed as you nuzzled your face into Harry’s neck - embarrassed at your insecurity.
“Y/N, baby,” you heard Harry’s voice, but you didn’t dare to look up. “I wasn’t just saying I was yours in the heat of the moment. I am entirely yours.”
You let it all sink in before you peered up to him again. “And I’m yours.”
With him still sheathed inside, a bit foolish you might add with the condom leaking, but neither of you cared - your mouths met in the most important kiss of the night. It was then you knew that giving yourselves over to each was the best decision you both had ever made.

Ahhh! Thank you so much 🫶🏻🫶🏻 You’re the sweetest.
I’m so glad you enjoyed!
Tumblr media
“Clairvoyant”
harry x you (don’t really know how to label him in this one…)
Word count: 4.8k
Warnings: cheating (with y/n), angst, some rough unprotected sex (spanking, spitting, anal play - f receiving), squirting and slight degradation
Plot: You and Harry had been sneaking around with each other for over a year as he was unhappy in his arranged relationship with his fiancée, but that all comes crumbling down one day when he shows up at your door unexpectedly.
━◦○◦━◦○◦━
This wasn’t what you had expected when you had planned a night in for yourself. You didn’t expect to answer the door and see Harry with a duffel bag in his hand when he hadn’t even announced he’d be coming over.  You didn’t expect to be sitting on the edge of your bed, staring down at your feet with tear-filled eyes as he walked around your room - gathering things he had left here for the last year or so. The only thing he told you when he walked in was that he was here to get his things, and nothing more had been spoken between the two of you in the five minutes he had been here.
“Are you just not going to tell me what’s going on?” You asked as you sucked in a deep breath, pressing your tongue to the inside of your cheek.
Harry stopped moving for a second, and you could see the inkling of him turning his head to look at you over his shoulder, but he stopped himself -  continuing to pack his bag. “She found out, and she threatened to go to my father with it all.”
Your heart sank when you realized this was the worst case scenario. You felt your bottom lip wobbling as you picked at your nails, looking away from him again.
“So...this is it?” 
You hoped it wasn’t, but deep down you knew. You were never going to see him again.
“It has to be,” Harry’s voice was rough, and unlike you’d ever heard from him before.
In the past year and a half that you had known each other, you had only see him angry once, and that was because the restaurant you had ordered delivery from for dinner fucked up your order. Not his - yours. He always wanted to make sure that you were happy and satisfied, and knowing that your meal wasn’t right had him riled up. You had managed to talk him down with a few kisses, and some soft caresses, and that night ended with the two of you cuddled up next to the fireplace.
You pursed your lips to the side as you tried to keep yourself from getting overly emotional, but it was all coming down on you at once. “How did she find out?”
“She went through my phone while I was asleep. She found our folder…”
Flinching away, you immediately knew the folder he was referring to. It was a hidden one that he had in his photos, but with the proper password, it was accessible to anyone that may have his phone in their possession. It was photos of the two of you, most of the time engaging in some act of sex, and now you regretted ever agreeing to let him have that. The only reason why you had was because you knew he grew lonely while his fiancée was at work, or when she was out with friends, and you wanted to be able to provide him with some satisfaction when you couldn’t be together.
“She didn’t do anything with those photos, did she?”
“No, she assured me she didn’t, and I believe her,” Harry zipped up his bag, and for the first time he actually turned to look at you. “That’s not her angle as of right now. If I weren’t to end this, then that would change.”
Your bottom lip trembled as it fully hit you that not only was he leaving, but someone had seen the two of you when you were most vulnerable. You were careful when it came to showing that part of yourself to others. Harry had only been the fifth person in your life to see you naked like that. 
“So she…she saw me like…” You trailed off, not being able to even finish your sentence as you shut your eyes tight.
You jumped as you then felt the tips of Harry’s fingers dancing down the sides of your arms after a few seconds. “I’m so sorry, Y/N.”
For the first time since showing up, his voice held that tenderness that you knew and loved so much. 
Except right now, it didn’t do a single thing to calm you. Instead, it was pissing you off considering he had the nerve to come here, barely speak to you and just trudge his way into your bedroom to start packing his bag as if the two of you didn’t have something deeper than just sleeping together going on.
You loved each other. You both knew it - even though it hadn’t been spoken.
Speaking it out loud would make it a true reality for the two of you, and deep down, you always knew this was how it was going to end. It wasn’t going to be a mutual goodbye, or a cordial separation. It was going to have to blow up in order for the two of you to stop seeing each other because neither one of you wanted to let go.
“No,” you raised your hands, pushing against his chest slightly to have his touch retreating from you. “You don’t get to touch me anymore.”
Your voice wavered as you avoided eye contact with him, sniffing loudly as you tried to come off as strong - wanting to will away these frustrating tears.
“Y/N, please,” Harry’s voice was now pleading with you, but you shook your head.
“No, Harry,” you shoved at his chest again. “You walked in here as if I was just some one night stand, and your girlfriend found out, but you forgot something important of yours so you had to come back in here. You walked in here, and you didn’t give me any type of explanation until I asked. You didn’t offer me a single shred of consoling. It's like you didn’t expect for this to make me feel this way.”
You never got angry with Harry. You just didn’t. You never raised your voice, or showed any irritation. You had never felt that way towards him.
Until now.
“So, yeah, go ahead and leave,” you walked past him and out of your bedroom as you started back towards your front door. “Since it’s just so easy for you to do, then guess what? It’s going to be so easy for me to watch you go.”
Just as your hand went to reach for the door knob, you felt an arm around your waist - pulling you back against a broad chest.
“Y/N, please don’t be like this,” Harry said into your ear, and you could tell by the tone that he was starting to crack. “Don’t have us end it angry.”
“That’s not fair!” You all but wailed as your tears started to fall harder. “You were going to try and make this as emotionless as possible. You were just going to leave me to take care of it by myself once you were gone.”
“Because it’s easier!” Harry’s voice boomed as he pulled away from you just to turn you around, and you looked up to see tears of his own pooling in his eyes. “I can’t…I can’t have you beg for me. If you do that, then I’d never be able to really say goodbye.”
You swallowed harshly at the word.
‘Goodbye’.
“That’s it then?” You asked, shaking your head. “I…I don’t even get to have you one last time?”
Harry’s eyes lifted from where he was looking down at his feet for a moment, and you watched as his eyes danced over you - contemplating your question.
He knew he shouldn’t. That it would just make things harder to walk away if he allowed himself to indulge in you one last time, but it was hard to resist.
Sex had never felt so good for the two of you until each other. Without even speaking, you were both able to determine what the pace of the night would be. Whether it be rough, the way you both liked it most of the time, or whether it was slow or passionate - you both just knew what was needed silently.
“We shouldn’t,” Harry looked away from you again, and he walked past you - going back into your bedroom.
You followed closely behind him, and you watched as he bent down to grab the bag he brought with him off the floor. It was packed, and ready to go. 
The last pieces of him that you had confined inside a piece of luggage.
“This isn’t fair,” you choked out, deciding to be selfish. “You can’t…you can’t just leave me.”
“Come on, Y/N,” Harry sighed as he pulled the strap of his bag over his shoulder. “Don’t make this any harder than it needs to be.”
“I don’t understand how this is so easy for you,” you sat down on the edge of your bed, tugging at your hair in frustration. “How are you okay with just walking out that door and never seeing me again? Harry, I-I don’t know what I’m going to do without you.”
When this whole thing first started, you both had agreed that it was just sex - no feelings. Neither of you could determine exactly when that changed, but it hadn’t been just sex for a long time now. 
You weren’t sure if it was when he started leaving stuff here that the switch happened, or maybe it was when you were sick and he showed up at your door with medicine and hot soup to make you feel better. Regardless of not being able to narrow it down, the switch had happened, and you both allowed yourselves to grow too attached.
“You think this is easy?” Harry hissed, and you dropped your hands to claw at the comforter underneath you. “You think this is fucking easy?”
You opened your mouth to speak, but Harry continued.
“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life, don’t you understand?” Harry’s eyes showed remorse and honesty as they drilled into yours. “Leaving you here, and knowing that this is it…I’m fucking ruined. No one has ever meant as much to me as you do.”
Harry had never confessed such deep emotions towards you before, but that was because neither of you needed it. 
Again, you both just knew. You always knew.
“And no one has ever meant as much to me as you!” You practically screamed back as more tears of anger and fear stained your face. “I should’ve never fucking done this. It should’ve just been the one night like we said. You should’ve never asked for my number. We should’ve just left it alone.
"I knew it would end with only one of us being completely devastated because you were always going to have someone to turn to once it was over. But not me…I don’t know how I’ll move on.”
You dropped your face into your hands as a sob wrecked through your chest. The only man that you could really say that you deeply, and truly loved was leaving you.
You were convinced you’d never find another. Harry was the love of your life. No one else could ever compare.
“You don’t mean that,” Harry said as he wrapped his hand around the back of your neck - thumb caressing your skin. “I don’t regret a single thing with you.”
Deep down, you didn’t either, but it was easier to try and convince yourself that you did in order to try to find the first step in moving on.
“Stop it,” you snapped while lifting your head up, and you watched as his eyes widened. You never had spoken to him like this before. “Just get out, Harry. Not that I would be able to anyway, but I never want to see you again.”
The pained look on Harry’s face was one that would be etched into your mind forever.
“Y/N, please don’t make us leave it like this,” Harry’s hand tightened its hold on you.
“I’m sorry, but how are we supposed to leave it? Am I supposed to just shake your hand, and thank you for the last year and some odd months of sex? For leading me to believe that I could ever be something besides the other woman? You told me you were going to figure it out. You told me you were going to leave her.”
“Yeah, well I thought I had more time,” Harry’s voice was raising again as he dropped his hand. “But I don’t, and if I don’t do this, then I have nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing.”
“You’d have me!” 
The quiet hung over the two of you as you stared into each other’s eyes, and you felt as if your heart was being ripped out of your chest when that didn’t earn a response.
“Right,” you laughed sadly, lifting a hand to push away your tears. “I’m not enough. I’ll never fucking be enough for you.”
You kept your eyes down as you waited to hear his footsteps, but all you heard was the sound of his bag thumping against the ground. His large hands were then on your face - tilting your head up to look at him.
“You are more than enough for me,” Harry said, holding your eyes so you knew he was telling the truth. “You’re too good for me, and that’s why I have to let you go. You deserve someone better. Someone that can offer you everything that you want - everything that I can’t.”
“I don’t want anyone else, don’t you understand?” You clawed at his sides, clinging to him harder than you ever had. “I want you. Just you, Harry.”
It was then you felt his mouth against yours, and you didn’t even need to feel it for more than a second before you were fully giving in. You immediately separated your lips, tongues rolling over each other’s as he slotted himself between your legs. He tipped your head back even further, eliciting a moan from you as you felt him beginning to suck on your tongue.
Your hands ran down to his jeans that he had on, grateful of the fact he hadn’t worn a belt so you could easily pop the button before pulling down the zipper. 
Slipping your hand inside his briefs, Harry gasped into your mouth as you took him into your palm - your thumb brushing over his soft tip. He was always so heavy in your hand, and you loved it. 
“Y/N,” he whimpered as he pulled his lips away from yours, resting his forehead against your temple.
“I need you to properly say goodbye to me,” you panted as your hand worked his shaft.
Your command rang in Harry’s ears for just a moment before he nodded, reaching down to pull the hem of your jumper up - the article of clothing abandoning your body. You didn’t have anything on underneath, and he lowered you so that you were laying fully on your bed. He eventually maneuvered the two of you to have you both laying in the middle of your mattress as his hands reached up to knead at your breasts.
“So beautiful,” he whispered, shaking his head. “I need to memorize you. Every bit of you.”
Soon you also removed his shirt from his torso, and he kicked his jeans and briefs the rest of the way off his body to have him fully naked.
“I wish I could take my time with you,” he breathed as he pulled off your leggings and your underwear. “But I can’t be too long.”
You shook your head softly. “I really don’t care. I just need to feel you one last time.”
Harry ran his hand down the expanse of your abdomen before both hands cupped your hips, and he flipped you over onto your stomach. The sudden movement pulled a gasp from you, and you tucked your bottom lip between your teeth as you knew where this was going.
He was going to be rough with you, and you secretly hoped he would choose this as the last way to have you other than making it slow.
“Condom?” Harry questioned as he ran his length between your folds.
“Have you gone without using one with her?” You looked at him over your shoulder.
After the first few times of being with each other, the two of you decided to forgo condoms. You had an IUD, and he always used condoms when sleeping with her, so you knew the two of you would be safe.
Harry shook his head. “No, and either way, I haven’t slept with her in a couple months.”
“Harry,” you sighed, dropping your forehead against the bed. “No wonder she went through your phone.”
“I know,” he cleared his throat. “I promise that I tried, but the last time I did…I couldn’t get hard.”
“Jesus,” you knew that was the nail in the coffin.
Harry had always talked about how sex with her was okay, but that it didn’t compare to what he had with you. He had agreed to still sleep with her every couple of weeks to avoid suspicion, so now you understood exactly why she had gone digging for answers.
“It’s fucked up.”
“It is,” you agreed, but there was a part of you that felt your stomach swirling at his confession. “Can only get hard for your whore, hm?”
Harry’s palm cracked down against one of the globes of your ass - causing your body to jolt forward as you huffed out a laugh. 
“Watch it,” he sneered, and you felt yourself clench down around nothing. 
“What? Isn’t that all I am? Just a hole to stuff your big-”
You didn’t get to finish your sentence as you felt Harry’s cock enter you with one hard thrust, and your fingers gripped to your bedding as he stretched you beyond comprehension.
“Shut-up,” Harry hissed through gritted teeth, and he brought his hand up to redden your other ass cheek - making them even.
After a moment, he started up a vigorous pace as he pulled your cheeks apart to properly see where he disappeared inside of you. His eyes lingered on your tightest hole, and you squirmed as you felt him spit down against it.
“You say you’re my whore?” The pad of Harry’s thumb began to smear the wetness over the band of muscles, and you choked on a moan as he dipped the tip inside. “Then you’ll take it like one.”
His digit then entered you fully, and he began to pulse it in and out of you at the same rhythm that his prick consumed you at.
You could feel your arousal making a complete mess of him while dripping down your thighs, and the noises that were produced from his cock penetrating your cunt had both of you completely, and utterly turned on.
“Sweet little pussy splitting itself open just for me,” Harry rambled aimlessly as he kept up his movements. “You said it yourself, it had never been properly taken care of until me. Isn’t that right?”
“Uh-huh,” you nodded, jaw slack as you let Harry use your body for both of your pleasures.
Smirking softly, he knew you were blissed out from what he was giving you, and he ran his tongue along the inside of his cheek as he moved one leg to have his foot against the mattress - snapping his hips against your ass that much harder.
“Oh, fuck me,” you mewled, earning yourself another slap to one of the rounds of your ass. “I’m gonna come.”
“Yeah? Been hardly giving it to you, and you’re already going to cream over my cock?”
His words pushed you over the edge, and you could feel your orgasm not only coating him, but also spraying against the inside of your legs.
“That’s it, baby,” Harry praised you. “Good girl spraying all over me - getting us all wet. Filthiest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.”
Your toes curled as his thick cock rode you through the aftershocks of your climax, and you threw your hands behind you to grip to the back of his thighs - causing your torso to hover over the bed.
“Oh, that’s how you want it?” Harry clicked his tongue against the back of his teeth. “You want it harder?”
“Yes,” you begged, arching your back to feel him even deeper. “Ruin me.”
With Harry’s thumb still satiating your tightest hole, his other hand gripped to the top of your shoulder so he could use that leverage to force you back against his powerful thrusts. Small ‘uh’s of pleasure left you with every clash of skin, and you just knew he was going to have your squirting again.
“Not going to be able to go for much longer, Y/N,” Harry forced out, feeling his own orgasm brewing at the base of his spine. “Feels so fucking good.”
“Give it to me,” you pleaded, nails digging into his skin. “I need you to come in me, and make sure you push it up in there. Let me keep it. Let me keep you.”
Harry felt his abs clenching at those words, and it was as if they triggered that build up he had been fighting against to try and last as long as possible to completely crumble. His come began to pour into you, and he kept up his heavy thrusts to fuck it as far up into you as he could - just like you asked.
The feeling of his orgasm coating your walls had you coming once again, and you felt yourself spraying even more as Harry removed his thumb from your ass.
“Fuck yes,” he gasped, your squirt coating his abdomen. “So good, baby. So fucking good.”
Harry worked the two of you through your highs as much as he could before he was collapsing against your back - the two of you buckling down against the mattress. He stayed inside of you, not wanting to leave the warmth that was your delicious cunt just yet.
Once he gave himself a moment to catch his breath, he sat up to carefully flip you over - all while still sheathed inside.
“Harry,” the way you said his name had his eyes snapping up to meet yours, and that’s when he saw the tears of both pleasure and sorrow filling your own. “Please don’t leave me.”
The knot that began to form in Harry’s throat grew fast, and eventually he too had tears coating his cheeks. “I don’t want to. I want to stay here with you - where I feel safe.”
Your arms reached up to wrap around his neck, and you pulled him tight against you.
“I would always keep you safe,” you whispered as you ran your hands through his sweaty curls. “My sweet boy. I want nothing more than to have you forever.”
Harry whimpered as he shoved his face into the side of your neck. “I-I love you, Y/N,” he sobbed as he gripped to your ribcage. “I love you.”
Your chest jumped as a sob of your own bounced off the walls surrounding you. “I love you too, Harry. I love you so much.”
━◦○◦━◦○◦━
Three months. It had been three months since you last saw, or even heard, from Harry.
After giving yourselves over to each other one last time, and confessing your love for one another, he collected his bag…and he left.
And today - today had to be the hardest day of them all.
You knew it was his wedding day, no matter how hard you tried to push it from your mind. It was all you could think about as you sat on your couch. You couldn’t bring yourself to turn on the TV, or to put on some music.
You just stared at the wall as you allowed your mind to be completely consumed by him.
It was self-inflicted torture as this point, but you couldn’t force yourself to think of anything else.
You had hoped that the absence of him would cause your thoughts of him to dwindle, as well as the hold he had on your heart, however, that wasn’t the case. You missed him more than you ever thought you could.
Your friends didn’t see you anymore, and you were barely making it by at work. You were a shell of your former self.
For the longest time you had wished that he had forgotten something of his behind, but now you’re glad that he hadn’t. You didn’t know how you would’ve reacted if you had found a stray shirt, or a misplaced sock. You’re sure that it would’ve been the cause of a whole new spiral.
The only piece you had left that reminded you that what you had was real, was the postcard from Hawaii that you had tacked to the cork board by the desk in your room. He had gone on a business trip with her and her father, as well as his father, and he was gone for almost a month.
You were shocked when you received it in the mail two weeks after he had left, and the message he scribbled onto the card made you smile.
‘Currently staying on one of the most beautiful islands in the world, but all I can think about is you. I wish you were here with me. I can’t wait to come home and be with you again.
xo - H’
You knew he hated that stupid arranged relationship with her, but you couldn’t believe he had sent that postcard because the two of you had only been secretly seeing each other for a little less than six months. What you thought was just going to be a one night stand after pulling the hottest guy at the bar turned into quick hookups, and weekends together when she was out of town.
There was a strong part of you that knew you couldn’t keep doing this to yourself, but you just couldn’t find it in yourself to let go. 
━◦○◦━◦○◦━
As you blinked your eyes open, you weren’t sure what time it was when you had managed to cry yourself to sleep on your couch. Your eyes fluttered shut again with a hum, and that’s when you registered your head was against a hard surface while fingers were threading through your hair.
You sat up quickly, and your lips parted when you saw Harry sitting next to you on the couch - fully decked out in a suit.
“Harry,” you croaked. Your throat was raw from all the crying you had done.
“Hi, baby,” Harry sent you a soft smile with tears in his eyes as he cupped the side of your neck - thumb grazing your jawline. 
Your eyes darted down to his left hand that still sat in his lap, and you braced yourself at the fact that you were going to see a gold band wrapped around his ring finger.
But it wasn’t there.
Gasping, you looked back to his face, and you watched as his eyebrows furrowed together. “I couldn’t do it.”
“What do you mean?” All logic escaped you, still completely overwhelmed at the fact that he was here in front of you again. 
“The wedding. The marriage. The whole fucking relationship,” Harry shook his head. “I couldn’t do it anymore. I…I left her at the altar, and I came straight here. Let myself in using your spare key when you didn’t answer. I got scared.”
Your heart was now pounding in your chest as you registered what he was telling you.
He wasn’t married. And he wasn’t hers anymore.
“Harry,” you repeated, reaching out to cradle his face in your hands - thumbing at his cheeks as if you were making sure he was actually here. “You came back.”
“I should’ve never left, Y/N,” Harry licked over his bottom lip. “I was an idiot, and I would understand if you never forgave me, but I had to come and see you. I’ve missed you so much.”
You pushed yourself onto your knees as you closed the space between the two of you, and you lowered your thumb down to press the pad of it against his bottom lip.
“I want to be upset,” you confessed. “And I know I should feel more angry than I am, but I’m not. I’m just so happy you’re here. I haven’t stopped thinking about you once, and it wasn’t for lack of trying.”
You both chuckled sadly as Harry’s hands came up to rest on your hips. “I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to scream at me. I’d let you yell at me every day, and tell me how much of an asshole I am if it would make you feel better.”
“No,” you shook your head. “No, it doesn’t matter now. You’re here. We’re together.”
“Together,” Harry confirmed with a nod.
“I love you,” you whispered as you dropped your forehead against his.
“I love you too.”
And then finally, the feeling that you had yearned for for weeks now was once again yours. Heart shaped lips pressed against your own, and you allowed the sensation to take you over completely.
Harry was here. And he was yours.

Tumblr media
Sitting in my makeup chair, I stare at myself in the vanity mirror. The bright bulbs surrounding it are causing me to squint a bit. My usual hair stylist wasn't able to make it out to LA for this show, and I wasn't upset about that. She had a family emergency, and for me, friends and family came before anything for those around me. The woman behind me, whose name I learned was Lisa, was just finishing up the curls she was putting into my hair. She was middle aged from what I could see, and she could style the hell out of some hair. I had just gotten my wolf cut shaped for this specific show since it was the last one of my current tour, and she couldn't stop complimenting me on how much it suited me.
After this, I will be taking a break to work on a new album here in LA. I've purchased a house and had a recording installed so that I'll be able to work there instead of traveling around. Although my parents didn't live here anymore, this was still the place I considered home. I left almost two years ago when I got signed to my record label, and it's been almost three years since I've actually been back.
As much as I had tried to deny it, there was a part of me that had avoided LA on the two other tours I've gone on before this one. I wasn't ready to face the people here who knew me, and most of all, I don't know how I would act if I were to see him.
I went through a few years of therapy to get over the emotional turmoil I went through after Harry and I's friendship ended. It was necessary. I avoided human contact with anyone but my parents for almost a whole year because of it, and I finally took the step at finding a therapist - forcing myself to make the appointments for a few months until I actually started to look forward to it.
It's been almost a year since the last appointment with my therapist, the both of us deciding that I no longer needed to be seen on a monthly basis as I had been. We agreed that I could reach out to her when needed, and she assured me that she would be available any day and any time.
"Alright, since I'm finished with your hair, I'm gonna go grab your girl to finish up your makeup, okay?" Lisa asks, and I give her a nod.
"Yes, thank you so much for doing this last minute. I really appreciate you."
"Of course, sweetheart."
She gives me a squeeze to my shoulder as she exits the room, and I sigh as I grab my pack of cigarettes off the vanity. I slip one between my lips, lighting it up as I stare at myself in the mirror once again. It looks like the only things I have left for my makeup is eyeshadow, lashes and lips, and I know those won't take too long since the base of everything is already set.
I take a drag of my cigarette, flicking the ash into the tray in front of me. Pulling my bottom lip through my teeth, I keep the stick between my fingers as I rub the tip of my thumb over one of my brows out of stress.
There were going to be people here tonight that I haven't seen in years. I knew that by keeping my real name instead of choosing a stage name that as soon as I decided to come home that it would bring attention. I wasn't famous on a large scale by any means, but I did have a decent following, and this current tour has opened a lot of new doors for me.
I had invited Mikey and Kailey considering I'd kept up with them pretty regularly over the years, but they both were busy tonight with their jobs. I've actually flown the both of them out to a few shows, and at first I was worried that the both of them would be offended that I got a whole new band to back me up instead of them, but they understood why I didn't. That would feel too much like having the band without him, and that was just something I couldn't ever bring myself to do.
I've only ever brought him up once, and it was to Kailey after the third show I flew her out to. She said she wanted to talk to me about it as well, but she didn't know how to bring it up. He was still in the area, that was for sure from things that Kailey had heard, but she had only ever seen him twice since everything happened.
The first time was at a gas station and he was grabbing a pack of cigarettes, however, he didn't see her. The second time was at a house party she was invited to, and Harry was just showing up as she was leaving. She told me that he was already pretty drunk from what she could tell, and they made eye contact, but he immediately looked away and kept making his way into the party. She told me that Mikey hasn't heard or seen him at all.
"Sorry, sorry, I was finishing my dinner."
I'm brought out of my thoughts as I see Christy, my makeup artist, come rounding in front of me. "Okay, so just a few things left, Marls," she says, eyes scanning over my face before giving herself a nod.
I take a few more quick drags of my cigarette before snuffing it out.
Christy begins to apply some primer to my lids before shuffling through some of the palettes she brought with her. "Since your outfit is a dark creme and black color scheme, I think I'm going to go with a darker lid, what do you think?"
"Yeah, yeah," I nod, clearing my throat before looking back at myself in the mirror. "That sounds good to me. I trust you, you always take care of me."
Christy stands back in front of me and sends me a smile as I close my eyes, allowing her to work her magic. My hands were slightly clutching to the arms of the makeup chair as I felt the bristles of the makeup brush on my lids.
It's quiet between the two of us for a while before Christy speaks up. "You're a little more nervous than I'm used to seeing," she comments. "Are you nervous about potentially seeing..."
Christy has been my makeup artist for the last two and half years, and within that time, I've opened up to her a lot about things in my personal life. Other than my manager, she's probably the person I confide in the most while on the road, and sometimes even off of it. I try my best not to bother either of them when we're taking a break from touring, and they're back at home with their families, but both of them have assured me time and time again that I'm not doing that when I reach out.
"A little bit, yeah," I confess, licking over my bottom lip. "But I also don't think that he'll come. He probably doesn't even remember at this point."
I can hear Christy sigh, and I feel the brush fall from my skin for a moment. My eyes flutter open to see her staring down at me - head tilted to the side.
"Now you and I both know that you don't actually believe that for a second."
Scowling slightly, I cross my arms and slouch in my chair. "No, I don't. You have to understand that it's easier for me to think that way though than to think he does remember me, and that he hasn't reached out at all."
"Trust me, I definitely get that," Christy says with a nod, and I close my eyes again to let her continue. "But I also don't think it's completely fair to yourself to just say he's forgotten you. I highly doubt that he has."
"Who knows at this point though? Literally no one I still speak to has actually talked to him. I have nothing to go on."
Christy remains silent as she finishes my eye makeup, and she continues to not speak as she applies my lashes. I'm sure she's stopped speaking on the subject to keep me from getting even more nervous than I already am.
As she starts to work on my red lips, I see the door open in the mirror.
"You have fifteen minutes before you're on, Marlowe," Lys, my manager, says as she pokes her head into my dressing room. "Do you need any help getting into your dress?"
I shake my head once Christy pulls the lip product she was using away for a moment to give me a chance to respond. "No, I've got it. Thank you though."
Lys nods, but instead of stepping out, she makes her way into the room, standing behind me as Christy finishes up on my lips. She places her hands on my shoulders, massaging them softly as we make eye contact through the mirror.
"You've got this. I know this is your first hometown show, and that it probably feels extremely stressful for you right now, but just remember what you always say before each and every show - you won't be able to see past at least the fourth row because of the lights, these people are here to see you because they already love your music, and you wouldn't be up on that stage to begin with if you weren't immensely talented."
Christy moves away for a moment, before she stands back in front of me with some setting spray. I close my eyes and feel the product misting my skin, and then I feel air fanning against it as Christy dries it by waving her hands in front of my face.
"All done, and looking as beautiful as ever," she says, reaching down to grab my hands.
With the both of them making contact with me, it does help me ground myself a little bit. I shut my eyes and take in a deep breath as I give Christy's hands a squeeze.
"Thank you guys so much, seriously," I tell them, blinking my eyes back open. I shift in my chair a bit so I can look at the both of them, Lys moving both of her hands to drape over one of my shoulders. "I don't know what I would do without the both of you."
"Crash and burn, probably is what I'd say, " Lys says with a shrug, looking over to Christy. "What do you think?"
"Oh absolutely," Christy agrees with a nod.
I roll my eyes before popping up out of my chair, walking over to my dressing room door. Gripping the doorknob on my hand, I gesture my other hand through the door frame.
"Now, if you lovely ladies would be so kind, I have to get changed," I tell them.
Lys sticks her tongue out at me playfully as Christy gathers her makeup supplies, and they both file out of the room. I strip off the robe I had been wearing, leaving me in just my bra and underwear underneath.
Making my way over to the hanger on the rack, I pull off the fishnets that were hanging through the middle of it and pull them onto my legs with a pair of black cheeky shorts over them - just in case my dress flies up for any reason on stage. I slip on my dress after that, thankful that the zipper was on the side so I could actually manage this myself.
It wasn't that I didn't want the help, but I just needed some silence before going out on that stage. Things never end well for me if it tends to get too loud, and I had a fear of that happening if I didn't give myself some alone time tonight.
After I sit down on the couch, I pull on the shoes that have multiple buckles that go up my legs - which stop right underneath my knees. I shove my hands into my half pleather gloves, clenching and unclenching my fingers to get a good feel of how much mobility I had in them. I stand up and walk over to the full length mirror in my room - giving myself a good once over.
I slip my eyes shut after a moment, rolling my head from side to side on my shoulders while shaking out my arms a bit.
Beginning to pace around my room, I start my vocal exercises - tapping my fingers slightly to the beat that I was pacing myself at. My eyes meet the clock on the wall, and I know that it's time.
I make my way over the door, and I open it before making my way towards the stage.
"Oh! I was just coming to get you," Lys says cheerfully as she begins to walk beside me, taking my hand and lacing our fingers together. "I'm so proud of you, Marlowe, you have no idea."
We make our way to the steps that lead to where I'm needed next, and she stops us. I look down at her, and I can see tears glazing over her eyes.
"I mean that," she says, speaking over the cheers that are flooding through from the crowd. "I know how much it took for you to get here to be able to play this show, and I hope you're just as proud of yourself as I am of you. You're remarkable, and now you get to show the city where you came from just how remarkable you are as well."
Pursing my lips to the side, I do my best not to cry as I quickly wrap my arms around Lys, pulling her in for a hug. "Fuck you for almost making me cry before I go out there," I joke with a laugh, and I hear her give one back to me as her hands run up and down my back.
We pull away after a moment, and she begins to wipe under her eyes.
"Go, go! I'll be right off to the side if you need me, but I know you won't. You're going to be so wonderful."
Smiling, I give her a nod before making my way to the steps, encasing one of the rails in my hand. I watch as my band enters in from the steps on the other side of the stage, and they take their positions. They begin to play my intro song, and I nod my head to beat to try and get myself into the zone.
On stage, I'm more than just Marlowe Finch. On stage, I'm Marlowe Finch, the singer.
Once a certain beat hits, I race up the steps and onto the stage, the volume from the crowd increasing entirely as I walk the front of the surface. This was a smaller venue, so it was easy for the sound to fill the place, but I was honestly surprised at just how many people were here. I could tell there were people lined up from wall to wall, and the crowd extended all the way into the back towards the front door.
I can feel the large smile taking over my features as I make my way back into the middle of the stage towards my mic stand.
"LA, how are we feeling?" I call out, and the crowd begins to go wild again after just starting to calm down. "Well, you beautiful fucking people, I hope you came here to have a good time because that's what I intend on giving you. Did you guys come here to have a good time?"
I can hear the crowd yell back 'yeah' to me, and I laugh outside of the microphone before letting it meet my lips again. "I said, did you guys come here to have a good time?"
They yell back again even louder than before, and I nod. "Well let's start this damn party, shall we?"
●・○・●・○・●
My chest heaves as I finish my second to the last song. I turn to face my band, sending them all a huge smile, and they're sending me one right back. I turn back to the crowd, and I can feel a lump growing in my throat.
"You guys have been so incredible. I can't thank you enough," I tell them genuinely as I rest my hand against my chest. "I haven't played a hometown show in my time as an artist for various reasons, but I've finally found the strength within myself to do it, and you guys have given me a show even greater than I ever hoped. So thank you, to each and every one of you for making this night so special."
"I'm going to be taking a bit of a break to work on my first full album - not just an EP. Can you all believe that?" I ask, and the crowd cheers. "And it wouldn't be possible without all of you, truly. For this last song I'm going to sing, it's the only completed song I have so far for the new album. It's extremely personal to me, and I didn't know if I was going to play it tonight, but you guys have been so great to me. This is my gift to you. Thank you guys again."
Once more I turn to my band, and my guitarist, Garrett, lifts his eyebrows at me. I know that they all have to be surprised that I'm choosing to sing this song, but it feels right tonight. I give him a nod, and he begins to strum the chords for the introduction of the song.
After a while, the drums start as well, and I close my eyes tight as I keep my back to the audience. I listen to the music surrounding me and I tell myself that this is the moment for me to finally sing this - the most personal song I've written so far. I can hear that it's almost time for me to start singing, and I turn back to the crowd as I cup the microphone on the stand in both of my hands.
"Down to you. You're pushin' and pullin' me down to you, But I don't know what I-"
The song immediately goes into the chorus, and I find myself shutting my eyes again - shying away from the crowd for the first time tonight.
"Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself from saying something that I should've never thought. Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself from saying something that I should've never thought of you."
I hesitantly open my eyes, and I can see the crowd nodding their heads and swaying to the sound of the beat. That gives me a little more reassurance, and I feel a small smile twitch onto my lips as I watch them.
"Of you - you're pushin' and pullin' me down to you. But I don't know what I want. No, I don't know what I want."
Taking the microphone off the stand, I walk towards the front of the crowd and lean down, making eye contact with a few people as I sing the next verse.
"You got it, you got it - some kind of magic. Hypnotic, hypnotic - you're leaving me breathless I hate this. I hate this. You're not the one I believe in - with God as my witness."
The band leads me into the next chorus which then fades into the slower bridge, and I stop in the middle of the stage. I extend one of my hands over my head as I feel the music, and I begin to snake my body around while I sing out the next words.
"Don't know what I want, but I know it's not you. Keep pushin' and pullin' me down - when I know, in my heart, it's not you."
The song remains slower until the band kicks in heavy once again for the last chorus, and I quickly grab the microphone out of the middle of the stage, tossing it to the side, as myself, Garrett, and my bassist, Alice, begin to head bang.
"Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself from saying something that I should've never thought. Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself from saying something that-"
I slam down onto my knees on the stage, my dress long enough to cover me as it sit back slightly on my heels, and I press the palm of my hand not holding the microphone down onto the stage between my thighs as I belt out the last few lines of the song.
"I should've never thought of you. I knew. I know, in my heart, it's not you. I knew. But now, I know what I want, I want, I want. Oh, no, I should've never thought!"
Sucking in air to catch my breath, I keep myself in the position for a while. I didn't even realize that I had tears streaming down my cheeks, my eyes now burning from the sensation as my bottom lip trembles. I know my hair is covering me from the audience so they're not able to see how emotional I've become.
In order to distract the crowd a bit, the band begins to play the beginning of the song again, and I know they're doing it to stall - to help me recuperate, and give a proper end to my set.
Only a few more seconds go by before I push myself off the ground, and I lift my other hand to move my curls out of my face as I hold the microphone to my lips.
"You've been truly magical, LA," I compliment them, and I know that my tears are gone from my cheeks. I just hope that it hasn't been obvious that I've been crying. "Hopefully I'll be seeing you again really soon. Thank you again, get home safely, and have a good night!"
I begin to blow kisses to them and wave as I start towards the steps I had entered on, and I quickly feel an arm wrap around mine.
"Believe me when I say that was your best performance yet!" Lys squeals, leaning over to press her lips against my cheek, her hold tightening on my right arm as she does so. "I can't believe you played the song. They loved it, Marlowe."
Lys has set it up for me to sign a few things against a side barricade before heading back tonight, and I was more than okay with that. They start leading me towards backstage again, and the way the stage was set up, I have to walk a bit onto the main floor before entering the backstage door. There's a railing blocking me from everyone, and I move a bit closer to Lys as fans start screaming my name - extending copies of my EP for me to sign.
My eyes widen, and I stop to greet them. I sign the items and give them back, all while thanking each person for coming tonight, and for supporting me. Once I reach the end of the line, the main floor is practically cleared out, and we start towards the door.
"Marlowe," I hear my name, and I feel a hand brush against the top of my left arm.
I immediately flinch away and look over at the individual as the security behind us begins to block me from them. Looking away, I start towards the door again before I freeze - realizing the set of ivy colored eyes my blue ones had just been met with.
"Honey, come on," I know Lys is speaking to me, but her voice sounds far away as I turn to look at the person who is calling my name once again.
All the air gets pushed from my lungs when I see who it is, and my knees just about give out on me. He's dressed in a pair of tight black jeans with a pastel floral button-up. The top few buttons are undone to reveal the swallows I knew so well in addition to the antennas of the butterfly that adorns the top of his stomach.
"Harry," I breathe, and he gives me a nod.
It's then that I realize his hair is longer - much longer than the last time I've seen him. He lifts a hand to run through the front of it, pushing it out of his face, but he never averts his gaze from mine.
"No fucking way," I hear Lys whisper behind me, and she quickly gives my arm another squeeze. "Let's go, Marlowe. I'll have security see him out."
Shaking my head, I pull my arm away from her, and now I'm completely turning to face him.
"What do you want?" I ask him - my tone coming out more aggressive than I thought, and I've even surprised myself with that.
"Can we talk?"
Every fiber of my being tells me that I should tell him no. That I should just send him away, and that I don't owe him a thing for the years of turmoil he's put me through. But now that he's here in front of me, and I know he hasn't actually forgotten who I am, I want nothing more than to hear his voice for more than just a few seconds.
"You want to talk?" My eyebrows narrow, and I can feel one of my hands clenching into a fist by my side.
"That's what I asked, isn't it?"
"Alright, that's enough," Lys' voice cuts in, and I feel her wrap her arm around my chest as she starts to steer me towards the backstage area again. "Come on, let's get you changed and home."
"No," I tell her, and we stop again as I tilt my head towards the door - eyes still on Harry. "If you wanna talk, let's talk."
Harry peers at the security guard that just slightly towers over him as he makes his way around the barricade that was completely separating him from us. I swallow harshly as we start towards my dressing room, and Lys opens the door - following me inside.
"Marlowe, I don't know if this is such a good-"
"Look, Lys, I appreciate it, I do, and I understand why you would be hesitant to let me do this, but with the progress I've made - I feel like I need to," I explain, and I watch her nibble on the inside of her cheek before looking over her shoulder at Harry who was now also entering the room. "I have my phone on me, okay? If I need you, I'll call."
"Okay," she sighs, shaking her head in defeat when she knows that I'm going through with this. "Do you want me to leave one of the security guys outside of the door?"
I can't help but smirk softly at her proposition. "I'm okay, but thank you for offering."
Nodding, she starts out of the room, but she stops and looks at Harry. "I swear to god, if I get a phone call from her in the next five minutes and she's crying, I'll find out where you live, and I'll make sure that-"
"Lys!" I say, and she quickly makes eye contact with me as I raise my eyebrows.
"Right, sorry," she mumbles before heading out of the room.
Silence takes over, and I keep my eyes off of Harry as I walk over to my vanity. I grab the ashtray off the surface, as well as my pack of cigarettes, before I head over to the couch - plopping myself down on it. I stick a cigarette between my teeth to hold it stable as I lean down and begin to undo the buckles of my shoes. Once I have them undone, I toss both of them to the side, and I pluck the lighter out of my pack.
I quickly light the cigarette before leaning back into the couch a bit, one leg crossed over the other. In the time that I had taken my shoes off, I didn't notice that Harry had grabbed one of the fold up metal chairs that had been leaning up against the wall. He set it up right across from me, only the coffee table really separating the two of us.
Unfortunately, I find myself in a bit of a trance as I see him fish his own pack of cigarettes from the front pocket of his jeans. He flips the lid and brings it up to his mouth, pulling one of the sticks out with his teeth. His eyes flip up to meet mine as he grabs his lighter and sparks it - heart shaped lips immediately closing down around the filter, and I watch the end glow orange.
We both pull the cigarettes from our mouths at the same time, and I tilt my head up to blow the smoke towards the ceiling, but his head remains level with his sight still set on me.
It only takes a few more seconds before we let our eyes journey down each other's bodies, and although I had taken him in out on the main floor, it was like I was doing it for the first time all over again. My head could hardly wrap around the fact that he no longer had some sort of bandana trapped inside his curls, and I could tell with the way his sleeves were rolled up to the creases of his elbows that he had gotten more tattoos over the years.
I'm sure I looked different to him too. My hair was now dark brown, almost black, instead of blonde. My body had truly formed into a woman, causing me to have thicker thighs and a fuller bust. Although my dress covered all of my chest, I knew he could still see the curve to my breasts. He cleared his throat once his eyes made it down to my legs that were still crossed, and he leaned forward to ash his cigarette into the tray.
"So you made it, huh?" He asks, licking over his bottom lip before taking another drag. "You did the whole music thing?"
I scoff slightly, and I can't help but roll my eyes at his statement. "Well, yeah, it was always my dream - my end goal. Just wish that..."
Trailing off, I decide not to finish my sentence as I shake my head. "Doesn't matter," I mumble softly. "What about you? Do you play anymore?
"Well, it would be hard to play considering your parents sold my drumset when they moved out of their home, but even then I wouldn't have wanted it. I still listen to music, but I could never see myself playing again like I did."
Frowning, I ash my own cigarette, leaning forward a bit to rest my wrist on top of my knee - tilting my head to the side. "That's a shame, Harry, you were talented," I tell him honestly, and for the first time I feel my stomach knot up from my nerves. "And my parents assured me that they put the check for the set in your mailbox."
"Oh they did," Harry laughs, running his tongue along the inside of his cheek. "Just another act of charity from them, just like all those years before."
I try to swallow down my anger with his comment, but I can feel my jaw tense. "They never saw you that way, and you know that I never did either. You bought that set with the money you earned from working at the record store. It was yours."
"Yeah, whatever," he shrugs me off with a wave of his hand as he takes an especially long drag.
It grows quiet again, and I finish off my cigarette - putting the butt out in the tray. Leaning back on the couch, I drape my arms across the top of it, and I watch as Harry pulls his bottom lip between his teeth.
"Why are you here, Harry?" I ask, needing him to be straight up with me. I need to know why he chose me coming home to finally acknowledge my existence again.
"Saw your name on the marquee," he said, bringing his hand up to toy with his bottom lip instead, rolling it between the pad of his thumb and his index finger. "Had to make sure that it was you."
"Okay, I guess I'm just a little confused? It's been almost five years. I'm just not understanding how me coming home all of a sudden-"
"What? Do you think there's more to this than me just wanting to confirm that it's you? I'm not here from some type of emotional reunion, Marlowe. Jesus Christ," Harry shakes his head, snuffing his own cigarette out before reaching to grab his pack again.
"Oh, because there's just so many Marlowe Finch's in the world, right?" I ask him, feeling my hands begin to tremble as I drop them down onto the cushions beside me to cup the edge of the couch. "You just had to confirm it was me?"
"I don't know what kind of answer you're looking for here, but whatever it is, you're not getting it from me," Harry laughs darkly, his eyes completely avoiding me now.
Gritting my teeth, I stand from the couch and reach out to snatch his pack of cigarettes from his hand. "You owe me a fucking explanation," I seethe, tears beginning to burn in my eyes from how furious I'm feeling. "Do you understand what you've put me through?"
Harry rolls his eyes and I see a smirk take over his expression as he looks at the wall over my shoulder instead of looking at me. His lips roll, and I can tell that he's slightly sucking his teeth.
"Is something funny?" I lean down to block his view of the wall, and for the first time ever, I see a darkness in his green eyes.
It almost knocks the wind out of me as he's never looked at me with such a gaze, and he sits up from his slightly slouched position in his chair.
"Yeah, there is," he states, standing up, and he takes the pack back from me. "The fact that you think that I owe you anything. Whatever you went through after I told you I didn't want to be friends with you anymore is on you. I should've done it years prior, but you were clinging to me so hard and-"
"Don't you dare fucking finish that sentence," I grit at him, tugging the pleather gloves off my hands as they were growing too clammy for my liking. I toss them onto the couch behind me, and I walk forward so my chest is flush with his. "I was clinging to you? Harry, we only had each other until we found Kailey and Mikey, and then after that you found Sierra. But Sierra didn't really matter either, right? You were sick of her too from what you said. I just don't understand why you completely erased me from your life like you did. I tried to go to your house a month after you left and-"
"You know I never liked you going to my house," Harry's voice lowers, and I feel him buck his chest up against mine a little more. "My mum told me that you stopped by like you did, and that was stupid."
"I didn't have any other choice! You made me feel like I was losing my mind! Fuck - I feel like I'm losing it again right now. Even after five years, you still find a way to mess with my fucking head just by being in my presence for ten minutes," I gasp, moving away from him as my hands tangle into my hair. I begin to pace my dressing room, heart thumping in its cavity.
"I told you I wanted to see if it was you, and that's that. There's nothing more to it, and once I leave here tonight it'll be just like it has been. We won't see each other, we still won't be friends. Eventually you'll forget that you ever saw me again."
Tears wet my cheeks as I look back over to him, and I shake my head. "That's the thing, Harry, I won't. There's hardly been any time that I haven't thought of you over these years, and there's no way that this isn't going to stick just like all the other memories."
Harry steps towards me again, and I look up as his eyes bounce all over my face. "Then wake the fuck up, Marlowe, and learn to properly forget about me."
I open my mouth to speak again, but Harry's already turned around - making his way out of the dressing room. He slams the door behind him, and I quickly clamp a hand over my mouth to keep myself from sobbing out. I don't want anyone to hear me like this. I don't know if Lys is still here, but if she is, I know she'll find some way to have Harry's head if she hears me. I'm also really not in the mood to have someone comforting me.
Maybe I really had been fooling myself after all these years, thinking that he was missing me just as much as I was missing him. I couldn't blame him for coming tonight if his true reason was just to confirm that it was me - I'd probably do the same if the situations were reversed.
But what I didn't expect from Harry was the darkness that was surrounding him. That definitely wasn't the same person I knew, and at this point he was truly unrecognizable to me. The moment those green eyes turned into nothing but flourishing ivy I once held so dear - I knew he was never going to come back to me as the same old Harry. He doesn't want to come back at all.
Part of me thinks this is what I needed. I needed to see him as a stranger in order to completely move on from the past, and to actually let him go. But I know that as much as I try to convince myself of that, there is always going to be a small sliver inside that still wishes to hold him close, and to be able to call him my friend.
My therapist told me that your mind and your emotions work closely together in the most mysterious ways, and even though you may not even notice, they fight each other for dominance more than you think. I was told that my emotions usually end up winning, and that's what can cause me to go days without leaving my bed, or what can have me shutting myself away in the studio for weeks on end. She provided me with proper exercises to try and help clear things up when these struggles start to happen, and I know that when I get home tonight I'm going to have to dive into several of them to help overcome the way I'm currently feeling.
Once I collect myself, I slip out of my dress and accessories before pulling on a pair of leggings and some Doc Martens with an oversized black hoodie. I gathered everything that was mine in the dressing room, and walked out to my car, piling it all into the trunk. I've been in LA for a few days now, and yesterday I went ahead and purchased a car since I knew I was going to be here for several months at the very least.
I slide into the driver's seat, and I grasp the wheel as I start towards my new home.
During the car ride, it's like I've resorted back to those days right after Harry left. I don't play any music as I drive, and I feel like I'm just going through the motions until I can curl up under the covers of my bed and try to block out the thoughts bouncing back and forth in my mind.
If my mind was making one thing extremely clear though, it was that LA was going to be even more different than I thought when I left those years ago, and I'm not entirely sure if i'm prepared for that.

“Prologue”
Word Count: 4k
(Prologue to “Cherry Bomb” - please make sure to read the TW on the “Cherry Bomb” masterlist before proceeding.)
Tumblr media
Marlowe walked around the garage of her parents house, beginning to set up everything that was needed for band practice. Harry's drum set stayed there permanently - something he requested due to the fact his mom wasn't super ecstatic about the noise that came with it. He was fearful that she would get drunk and destroy it if she got too irritated about it. When Harry hesitantly asked Marlowe two years ago if he could keep it here, she said 'yes' before he even finished asking his question entirely.
Harry and his mom had moved to LA when he was fourteen, and Marlowe was thirteen. It was the start of a new school year, and Marlowe built up the courage to finally compliment the My Chemical Romance sticker on Harry's binder. After that, they hit it off almost immediately. The two of them connected over music mostly, making each other mix CDs and exchanging them at their lockers in between classes. Once technology advanced a bit, they took the time to exchange playlists instead, and they were both grateful they had someone in their life that appreciated artists and bands as much as the other did.
As interesting as Marlowe found it that Harry and his mom just up and moved from Holmes Chapel, she didn't pry. It wasn't until after they had known each other for almost a year that Harry revealed his mom was catfished by this guy online, and now they were stuck in LA with no other way home. She learned that Harry didn't know who his father was, and he didn't care to. He also told her that his mom sometimes drank a lot, probably more than she should from what he said, but things were okay when she was sober.
Marlowe couldn't relate completely, her parents were there, but they weren't entirely present.
Once he had opened up to her, Marlowe and Harry were practically inseparable. It wasn't that much later in their friendship that they discovered they both had the potential to actually make music. Marlowe picked up the guitar easily, whereas Harry was drawn to the drums.
The first time they sang in front of each other was a bit comical. Both in Marlowe's bedroom - opposite corners of the room while staring at the wall. "If It Means A Lot to You" by A Day to Remember bounced off the walls, and Marlowe had to brace herself against the plaster when she heard Harry's voice. The cadence he carried throughout his vocals had her knees buckling.
Little did Marlowe know that as soon as she opened her mouth to sing, goosebumps covered Harry's skin. They had each heard each other humming carelessly before, Harry himself would whistle quite often as well, but never had they heard the other sing.
Once the song played out, they slowly turned to face each other. Their eyes met, and they both started to laugh. They had no idea that the other felt something in Marlowe's bedroom that day, but they were young. They avoided it out of fear of destroying the friendship they currently had as they didn't know if the other felt the same way.
Marlowe plugged her guitar into the amp, placing it on the stand before setting up the amps that both Kailey, their bassist would need, as well as Mikey, their lead guitarist. Harry and Marlowe were grateful that they ended up connecting with the two of them their senior year of highschool, as they loved music just as much as they did.
With Marlowe now being twenty and Harry being twenty-one, they were preparing for an upcoming gig they had at a local venue. Music had become their entire lives these past two years, and this gig was going to have a lot of talent scouts from record labels at it. The two best friends had decided to forgo college - Harry because he couldn't afford it, and Marlowe just wasn't sure what she wanted to go to school for. Her parents didn't really mind, but Harry's mom could sometimes use his lack of education against him during heated arguments.
He wanted to act like it didn't bother him all that much, but Marlowe could tell that it did. She did her best to always get his mind off it when he'd come over after those situations, and that usually meant just laying on the floor in her room - listening to vinyls, and smoking cigarettes.
Marlowe turned her attention to the large garage door as she heard it opening, and she looked over to see Kailey and Mikey standing underneath it once it was raised enough.
"Hey guys," she said, having just finished setting everything up.
"Hey, Harry not here yet?" Mikey asked as he kneeled down with his guitar case, getting the instrument out.
"Uh no, not yet," Marlowe responded after clearing her throat.
Harry had been acting a little off this past month or so, and at first she thought that he was just feeling the pressure of their upcoming performance, but it was really unlike him to be late to practice like this - although it had started to happen more often than not. He was also practically shutting her out, and he hadn't done that at all in their years of friendship. He had just turned twenty one last month, and it seemed like once he did - he didn't really have time to see Marlowe outside of band practice anymore.
She tried not to think anything of it at first, but she was starting to feel the emptiness of not having him around like she used to. There was a girl, Sierra, that he had been seeing, and it didn't bother Marlowe, but he had never even introduced the two of them. She would tell Harry to invite her to band practice, or to hang out at her house, but her invitations went ignored.
It hurt her, but she knew that Harry wasn't going to be hers forever. She knew eventually he'd start dating, and Sierra was actually the first girl he had ever really been with in the time they had been friends. She wasn't sure if Harry was ashamed of her, and that's why he didn't want to bring Sierra around, or if he was just trying to separate himself from her completely.
"Really?" Kailey questioned with a raised eyebrow as she plugged her bass into the amp. "Have you tried to text him?
"Mhmm," Marlowe hummed, averting her eyes from her two friends. Harry hadn't responded to her texts in two days now.
She didn't want them to see just how much this was affecting her.
Her reassurance was that they'd always have music. That was something that they'd always get along over - something to keep them connected forever.
Marlowe just shook her head, her blonde hair framing around her face as she looked down at her guitar. She picked it up before flicking on the amp - giving the instrument a few strums. As she approached her microphone, she spoke into it to test it while tuning her guitar.
As the three of them were preparing their instruments, it was only a few minutes later that Harry came bursting through the side door of the garage, slightly stumbling over his own feet. The noise caused Marlowe to jump, and she looked over to see Harry kicking a stray paint can out of his way.
"Sorry I'm late," he mumbled, not even making eye contact with any of his friends as he started towards his drum set.
Marlowe followed him with her gaze, watching as he sat down on the stool behind his set - adjusting the bandana that was pushing his unruly curls back. He pulled his drumsticks out of the holder, tapping them against a few of the drumheads before finally looking to Marlowe.
"So, are we gonna start or what? I have things to do after this," Harry commented, and Marlowe's lips parted at the tone he was using with her.
This wasn't her Harry.
"Uhm, yeah, sure, sorry," Marlowe responded with a nod.
The setup in the garage was that everyone was in a circle so that they could see each other while practicing. It was an exercise they had learned during a band workshop, and it actually helped them round out their sound more than they could've imagined.
Marlowe looked between the three others before nodding her head, strumming her guitar once and letting the noise drown out as Harry lightly tapped on one of his cymbals - the sound growing as it went on. As they got into the grit of the song, Marlowe let off her guitar, cupping her microphone in her hand.
"Hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you when -
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end."
She made sure to strum her guitar when needed, making eye contact with Mikey who gave her a small smile. This was the best this song has sounded so far when just starting it out - their confidence was growing.
"Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend.
You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again."
As the song went into the chorus, Marlowe slipped her eyes shut, feeling the music rattling in her chest - her fingertips tingling against her guitar strings as goosebumps covered her arms.
"I'll send you my love on a wire.
Lift you up, every time, everyone, ooh, pulls away, ooh, from you."
The song flowed into the measures between the first chorus and the second verse, and that's when Marlowe started to notice Harry missing beats. She looked over to him to see that his eyebrows were narrowed - as if he was focusing so hard on getting it right, but he just couldn't. His eyes eventually closed and he titled his head up towards the ceiling, still trying to play but missing even more beats as time went on.
"Got balls of steel, got an automobile,
for a minimum wage.
Got real estate, I'm buying it all up in outer space."
Marlowe let go of her guitar, clapping into the microphone as she sang while Mikey took over the guitar entirely for this verse. Harry seemed to get a little back on track now that the tempo had slowed back down, and she hoped that he could get it together by the time the next chorus started.
"Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend.
You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again."
The band went into the second chorus, Marlowe gripping her guitar once more to start up her playing again - swaying her hips to the beat of the song.
"I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up, every time, everyone, ooh, pulls away, ooh."
It was noticeable that Harry was now completely off beat - stumbling his way through the chorus, and Marlowe looked over in his direction again. Her eyes locked with his, and she shook her head - eyebrows knitting together as if to ask what the hell was going on.
"It's a mechanical bull, the number one
You'll take a ride from anyone
Everyone wants a ride, pulls -"
Before they could even finish the song, Harry stood up from his drum set, throwing his drumsticks across the garage. Mikey and Kailey quickly ducked out of the way to avoid getting hit as Harry made his way around the instrument and towards the side door he had just entered through only a few minutes prior.
"I can't fucking do this anymore," he grumbled, throwing the door open.
Marlowe's eyes widened, and she immediately set her guitar down - racing after him. He was already halfway down the street, and she realized that she didn't see his car.
Had he walked here?
They didn't live too far from each other, maybe a five minute drive or so, but she still couldn't understand why he wouldn't have called her for a ride.
"Harry!" She called out after him, chest heaving as she tried to catch up with his long strides.
Harry kept staring in front of him, hands tucked securely into the front pockets of his jeans as he completely ignored the girl coming up behind him. He could hear the rocks crunching underneath her feet, and he knew that she was getting closer.
"Please, just wait," Marlowe panted, reaching a hand out to grab him.
Her hand landed on his bicep, and he was quick to rip it away from her. Marlowe stopped walking, completely stunned by Harry's actions.
"Don't fucking touch me, Marlowe."
Tears pricked at her waterline, as she continued to watch him walk away.
She hadn't heard him call her just Marlowe in several years. He always called her by her nickname, and he had never snapped at her like this before.
Quickly coming to again, Marlowe scurried to match Harry's steps so that she could keep up with him.
"You're not even going to talk to me?" She asked, bottom lip trembling as she stared at the side of his face.
Harry's expression remained stoic as he kept his eyes ahead, doing his best not to pay attention to Marlowe at all. He pulled a pack of cigarettes out of the pocket of his hoodie, tucking one between his lips as he fiddled in his front pocket for his lighter.
Marlowe grimaced at the fact he was just completely avoiding her, and she snatched the stick from between his lips.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" She gasped, trying her best not to get overcome with emotion, but she didn't even recognize the person next to her.
Her best friend for the past seven years was acting like someone she had never even met.
"Give that back," Harry demanded through clenched teeth, and Marlowe shook her head as they stopped walking.
"I need you to talk to me, Harry. What is going on?"
They both stood there staring at each other, and Marlowe's face contorted as she looked away from him - pressing the back of her hand against her mouth. Tears of both anger and confusion began to stream down her face, and she swallowed down the whimper that wanted to leave her.
"Just go back home," Harry muttered, looking down at his feet.
Marlowe continued to look away, dropping her hand as she pursed her lips to the side. She shut her eyes, dropping Harry's cigarette to the ground to dig her nails into her palms - leaving crescent shaped marks across her skin.
"I feel like I'm losing you," she whispered, nausea swirling her stomach at the thought. "You don't even talk to me anymore. Y-you're my best friend, and I don't know what to do with how I'm feeling."
It grew quiet between them, the cooler March air whipping across their faces as they stood facing each other, but not looking in each other's direction.
"Well, I don't think we should be friends anymore."
Heart plummeting, Marlowe's head snapped to look over at Harry who was still keeping his eyes on the ground.
"What?"
"I don't want to be friends with you anymore...or Kailey and Mikey," Harry stated, his voice more firm now.
His piercing green eyes met Marlowe's blue ones, and she didn't see any emotion behind his.
"What did I do?" Marlowe grasped to her chest, tightness taking over. "H-how can I fix this? Please tell me, and I'll do it, Harry, I can fix it. Is it Sierra? Does she not want you to be-"
"Fuck, Marlowe!" Harry's voice boomed, echoing against the houses near them, causing her to immediately clamp her mouth shut. "This isn't anything that can be fixed because nothing is broken. We're adults now. We've grown up, and I don't want the same things anymore. I don't want the band, and I don't want a music career - I don't even want Sierra anymore, and....and I don't want to be friends with you."
It was so quiet that Marlowe was surprised that she couldn't hear the cracking of her heart in her own chest. Her knees began to shake, and she was having to will herself to remain upright with the weight that was starting to press down upon her.
"What did I do?" Marlowe whimpered out again, dropping her chin to her chest.
Her ears began to ring as she realized Harry really meant this, and that this is what he wanted. Her best friend had already been fading away from her for some time now, but she never thought that he would allow himself to completely disappear after everything they had been through. Their connection was something Marlowe felt she could never find again.
"Go home.”
Marlowe remained frozen as she heard Harry's footsteps moving away from her, and she tried to will herself to open her mouth and call out for him again, but she couldn't. Her mind was reeling, trying her hardest to grasp onto what was actually happening.
By the time she was able to ground herself, her head lifting to look around her neighborhood again for any sign of Harry, he was gone.
●・○・●・○・●
A month had passed since Marlowe last saw Harry. Her calls and her texts went unanswered, and eventually she just assumed that he had blocked her number. Marlowe was devastated. She had never felt this type of emptiness in her entire life, and that was saying something considering her parents had a habit of missing almost every important event that came up for her.
She barely left her room, burying herself under her covers as she stared blankly at the wall her bed was pressed up against. No vinyls turned on her record player. There weren't two cigarettes resting and burning on her ashtray, and Harry's cackles didn't fill her room.
Marlowe hadn't listened to a single note of music since that day. She apologized to both Kailey and Mikey, but she told them she couldn't continue the band on without Harry. It didn't feel right.
That band was theirs, something they had created together, and it was nothing without him. No one would be able to play the drums like he could, and no other voice would blend with hers as perfectly as his did. Thankfully Kailey and Mikey understood, and they both had tried their best to console Marlowe due to Harry's absence, but she explained that she just needed to be alone for a while to process everything.
Her parents noticed that something was off, but they didn't try to get to the root of it, and she was honestly grateful for that. They didn't have anything against Harry by any means, but Marlowe knew they wouldn't understand the weight of what had happened.
Rain pelted down against her window, the first rain LA had seen in a while, while Marlowe hung her legs over the side of her bed - cupping her mattress in her hands.
She needed to see him. She needed to force him to see her. This wasn't how their friendship was going to end.
Popping up quickly, Marlowe pulled on a pair of leggings and her Doc Martens while throwing a hoodie over her head. She grabbed her wallet and her keys off her dresser before heading down the stairs and out of her house. After slipping into her car, she started off down the road towards Harry's mom's house.
She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, her palms feeling like pins and needles from the adrenaline that was coursing through her. Deep down she knew that this was probably really stupid, and that the end result could end up just hurting her worse, but she needed more closure than he had given her. She deserved that from him.
After pulling into the driveway, she sat in her car for a moment - staring blankly at her steering wheel. She contemplated just turning around and going home, but she wasn't going to move on without this happening.
Marlowe made her way up to the front door with her hood over her head, quickly knocking on the door before tucking her hands into the front pocket of her hoodie. She shivered slightly, looking around a bit before the door opened. It revealed Harry's mom, and Marlowe sent her a soft smile.
"Hi Tamara, is Harry-"
"Nope," she cut Marlowe off quickly, and as much as she wanted to roll her eyes, she didn't.
"Please, I just want to talk to him. I only need few minutes and then I'll go, but I really need to-"
"Look, Marley," Tamara slurred, raising her hand to interrupt her once more.
His mom never called her by her actual name, and Marlowe wasn't sure if it was just because she couldn't remember it when intoxicated, or if she never actually cared to learn it. Her and Harry never really spent a lot of time here. She could probably count on one hand how many times they hung out here instead of Marlowe's house.
"Harry hasn't been here in probably...three weeks now. He left a note saying that he was gonna be gone for a while, and that's the last I've heard from him. I don't know if he'll come home, I don't really care at this point, but don't come around here bothering me anymore, alright?"
Marlowe opened her mouth to attempt to speak again, but Tamara slammed the door right in her face. She swallowed harshly as she stepped backwards off the porch, still keeping her eyes on the door for a while before she turned around and hurried back to her car.
Hands clutching the wheel, she began to sob with her chest jumping up and down with every large breath she tried to take. All of this just didn't feel real - this past month without Harry, the last time she had seen him, and even right now with her sitting outside of her house crying in her car. It all felt like a terrible dream that she couldn't wake herself up from.
She allowed herself a few minutes to calm down, pulling the cuffs of her hoodie over her hands to wipe her cheeks before pulling out onto the road to head back to her house.
It was so difficult for Marlowe to picture what her life was going to be like next week, next month or even next year without Harry. Every vision she had of her future up until now had him there right beside her, and now that wasn't a possibility anymore. All she had were her memories with him.
Once she got home, she raced back upstairs - stripping out of her clothes to dive back into her covers in just her bra and underwear. Her hands gripped at her comforter as she smothered her face in it. She didn't know when she'd be able to stop crying.
Marlowe loved Harry. She knew she had loved him for a while now, and she knew it was more than platonic on her end, but it was obvious that she was foolish for ever letting her feelings get that far. She only had herself to blame for him not knowing the extent of them - as she could never bring herself to tell him. There were times here and there, especially through the last four years or so, that she had thought that maybe he felt the same way, but there was no way that could be true to what he had done to her.
Even though she was so angry and hurt by him, she just hoped that he was okay, and that he was safe. She hoped that he was taking care of himself, that he wasn't getting into any trouble, and that he was with someone, or surrounded by people, who loved and cared for him as much as she did. She could only hope that he felt the comfort she felt in him in someone else.
Her Harry was gone, and it was evident that he was never coming back.

“Please… Daddy.”
“Good girl.”
His mouth slotted with yours like the final puzzle piece. Smooth and effortless, melting into you while his hand moved from your neck to grab onto your hair. He was simultaneously protecting your head from the door and tugging right at the root of your pretty hair. 
The sting had you whimpering into his mouth, hands through his hair and over his chest and just everywhere while you reached up on your tippy toes to kiss back harder. You quite liked feeling smaller than him and Harry loved being bigger than you. Taller than you. Pressing his full body weight into you until all you could feel was him. 
“I don’t… I don’t have much time.” You murmured into his mouth, gasping as the kiss broke and he let his mouth skirt over your jaw. You always did have a sensitive neck. It was a sweet spot for you and Harry knew that. At this point he had memorised all your erogenous zones and the little things he did that turned you on and considered himself an expert in how to take advantage of it. 
He was always learning new things about you. Every day he found new details about you and fell deeper in love because of it. 
“You do.” His smirk curled against your jaw and focused one hand on your hair to tug your head back while the other squeezed over your waist. 
“I really don’t. My parents will see my car and wonder where I am. They’d be offended I saw you before them.” 
“I think they’d be a little more than offended if they knew what you were doing here. Wouldn’t they, darling?” 
Your gasp got caught in your throat, muffled by a moan when he bared his teeth against your neck. His mouth cushioned lower, tracing over what felt like every single inch of your bare skin. 
“Probably.” You just hummed in response, letting your eyes flutter closed while you relaxed into the feeling of his soft, wet tongue over your neck. 
“What would they say if they knew you called me Daddy, hm? Bet your mother would faint, wouldn’t she? Her darling little y/n.” Harry pulled away so you could watch the way his lips wrapped around each syllable. He pressed his hand over your throat again, keeping you pinned there as he undid the bow of your sweatpants. “Come on, baby. Tell me what she’d say.” 
You didn’t think he’d want a response to that when it sounded so rhetorical. More like a tease than something he wanted you to respond back to. 
“I don’t know. I don’t even want to-” the words got stuck in your throat when you felt his nimble fingers slide along the waistband of your sweatpants. He smirked at your reaction, scanning every inch of your face while languidly stroking your lower belly. “-to think about it. It's mortifying.” 
His eye contact was making you want to pass the fuck out and when his fingers found the band of your underwear you nearly did. You had missed this. The cat and mouse game. The teasing. Though it usually took a lot longer than the time you had. 
“It’s not mortifying when you’re doing it, though. Is it, baby?” He cocked his head, maintaining eye contact as he started to trace over your underwear down towards your clit. You shook your head quickly, grabbing onto his forearms. 
“Words.” He warned. 
“No. No it isn’t.”
“Feels quite… good. Doesn’t it?” He pressed right over your clit, rubbing purposed circles. The friction of your underwear was driving you crazy. But you wanted more and you were a little conscious of the time. 
“You know it does.”
“I know.” He smirked, leaning in to kiss your neck again. “I make you feel good. Don’t I?”
The questions were making your head spin. “Yes… yes.”
The friction suddenly disappeared from your clit, but just as you were about to make a noise of disdain, his hands were hoisting your legs up around his waist and he was carrying you through the house to his dining room. He set you down on the edge of the table, reaching in to kiss you deeply just long enough to have you gasping and tugging at his hair.
The kiss broke and his mouth trailed down your neck again. You made a pretty little whimpering sound that had Harry smirking against your skin while he worked on removing your pants properly. 
“I love when you do that…” he groaned, nimble fingers sliding along the waistband of your sweats, tucking into them and your underwear at the same time before very easily pulling them down under your ass until they fell to your ankles. The cool air hit your clit instantly, sending a chill down your spine and the tension of your legs that only increased when Harry continued to talk dirty to you. “When you whimper all pretty for me… ‘s my favourite thing in the world. Never takes long either. Could just kiss you and you’d moan for me. Isn’t that right?” 
His question hung heavy in the hair but all you could focus on was the sight of him dropping to his knees before you to help guide your feet out of the bottom half of your clothing. 
“Uhuh.” You agreed haphazardly, sweeping your hand through his hair at the first touch of his lips against your knee. He kissed down your calf until that ankle was out of your pants then switched sides to do the other, this time kissing up from your ankle to your knee to the sensitive skin of your thigh.
“Why don’t I give you something proper to moan about, hm? Would you like that, pretty girl?” Harry let his lips brush against your skin while his hands ran up and down your legs, running his thumbs over your knees like he was about to pry your legs open and dive right in.
Every touch had you breathing heavier, already getting worked up just from a few little kisses. It didn’t help that you were already on edge from his earlier teasing and knowing that things would get a little rougher than usual only made you needier.
Sex always was a bit rougher when ‘daddy’ came into play. Harry took on the role in full force and took full control of the scene. He usually spanked you more, grabbed you more, fucked you harder. Fuck… you hoped he’d spit in your mouth too, maybe smack his ringed fingers over your clit. You could ask for it of course and he’d happily oblige (with a bit of teasing and degradation to accompany your request of course), but it was so much hotter when he just did it. When he owned you and treated you like a hole to use. 
“Yes.” You nodded eagerly, tugging his hair a little harder. He smirked and nipped at your thigh, grabbing your calves to pull you forward until your legs widened to fit him between them. Grabbing your face suddenly, he squeezed your cheeks roughly until you whined in pain. 
“Where are your manners, huh? I thought I taught you better than that.” He tutted, maintaining eye contact while he spit suddenly on the fingers on his other hand before reaching between your bodies to find your clit. Harry didn’t want to stop looking at your pretty eyes for a single second. The moment he found your clit he tapped against it roughly, making your back arch at the repeated sting of his fingers. His saliva only made it hurt more and yet you found yourself loving every second of it. 
“Shit.” You cursed, clutching onto his shoulders. The sting had your toes curling, knees dug into either side of his hips in an attempt to curb the ache. “Shit.”
“If you’re a good girl, y/n, you’ll get treated nicely. Don’t you know what happens if you’re not, hm?” He smirked, pressing his palm to your clit while sliding two fingers down through your labia. You were soaked, already dripping for him to do something. Anything. He circled his fingers over your entrance, pressing just enough to make that delicious whimper echo around his kitchen before he dragged them back up to your clit. “Or has it been that long since I put your attitude in check?”
Jesus fucking Christ. 
Harry repeated the same movements, torturously dragging up and down… up and down from your clit to your entrance without doing anything remotely close to satisfying. 
“‘M sorry. I’m sorry Daddy. I got… fuck” you cursed when he nudged over your clit again. It was just a game now, a sadistic little game to see how wet he could get you without actually giving much pleasure. “Excited.”
“Excited? Or selfish?” He cocked his head, grinding his palm to your clit while squeezing your face a little harder. “Being needy doesn’t give you an excuse to be ill mannered.”
“You’re right. I’m-I’m sorry. I’ll do anything. I’ll be good. I promise.” The words came out as a hushed whimper of strung together desperation. Harry was loving every second of it. 
“Yeah? You wanna be a good girl for me?”
“Yes. Please, Daddy.”
“Gonna let me do anything I want?”
“Anything. Anything.”
His cock stirred at the thought of being able to do anything to you. To have complete control over you. Of course, you truly had the power in the situation, but he loved that you chose to let him take the reigns. 
“Open your mouth.”
Harry slid his hand down to your jaw to give you space to move your mouth and as soon as you did, your lips parted just wide enough for him to spit right on your tongue. The sight was obscene. Your tongue sticking out to catch his saliva, his mark, his ownership. Your eyes were all glazed and pretty and you looked happy to take whatever he gave you. You were happy. 
He just couldn’t help himself, really. Couldn’t stop himself from getting a taste of your pretty mouth. It would’ve felt wrong not. You were his girl after all. His love. Kissing you was part of the job. 
Harry was quick to dart out and clasp his lips with yours, slipping his tongue into your mouth so he could rub his saliva over your tongue with his own. It was feral. Sloppy in the best way possible. He slid his tongue against yours, spreading his spit and the new saliva from your kiss everywhere.
You loved when he kissed you sloppy. When it was way too inappropriate for outside eyes. Something just for you. While his tongue told you exactly how he felt about you, he grabbed onto your hips and pulled you forward until you slid off the table, landing on your unsteady feet. 
“Take this off, yeah? Let me see how pretty you are.” He murmured, breaking the kiss just enough to speak while tugging upwards at the end of your t shirt.
You quickly obeyed and ripped your t shirt off, letting it land on the floor without care. You didn’t bother putting a bra on when you left Lucy’s, not when you were just going home and seeing Harry quickly - or at least you thought it would be quick - so you were left bare. Now you were grateful that you decided to do that, especially from the dark-eyed reaction you gained from your bare breasts being exposed to your lover.
“Fuck baby. Got the prettiest tits ever.” Harry cursed, palming over your exposed breasts while he connected your mouths again.
Your hands found home in his hair, reciprocating happily to his enthusiastic kissing. It was such a power imbalance being completely naked while he was still fully clothed. The anxious part of you hated it and felt so… small. Exposed. The bigger part of you, the one that got off on being submissive and degraded frothed over it. There was no feeling like his fully clothed body against your fully bare one, other than skin to skin contact of course.
That was your favourite.
“Driving me fucking crazy like this.” Harry murmured again, keeping one hand on your breast while the other trailed upwards to the little pearl necklace permanently fixtured on your neck. You only took it off to shower, otherwise it never left your body. You couldn’t bare to part from it because it was a constant reminder of Harry. Like he was always with you.
And you happened to love how possessive he became when his eyes landed on the little string of pearls. How they darkened ever so slightly. When you were in public it turned into a kiss or his hand squeezing your hand or waist, like it triggered some obsessive reaction. You weren’t sure if he caught onto the fact that the necklace somehow pavloved physical touch, but you did.
Sometimes you liked to draw attention to it on purpose to tease him, not that he knew he was being teased. When you were talking you might brush your hair away from your neck or fiddle with the pearls to draw his eyes there. It was fun. A game you were winning even if he didn’t know he was participating.
“And this…” He hooked his finger into the necklace, tugging it gently while simultaneously tugging at your bottom lip, releasing it with a pop. “You’ve got no idea how sexy you look with nothing on but this.”
“I never take it off…” You sighed.
“I know. I love you more for it.” He mused, nipping on your neck. “If that’s even possible.” Your head lulled back when he ran his hands down over your body again, landing on your hips where he quickly spun you around to face the table and pressed himself against you. “Love how soft you are too…” He complimented, pressing spongey kisses along your shoulder. 
You braced yourself against the table, letting yourself be pushed down flat against it by a gentle hand on the middle of your back.
“How you feel in my hands… my mouth…”
His mouth replaced his hand, trailing down until he was crouched behind you. God the sight of you was driving him crazy. 
Running his hands over your ass, he pressed a kiss to one of your cheeks, dragging his bottom lip against your skin as he released before kissing over to your other cheek. Then he spread you wide, eliciting a gasp when he spanked you and groaned at the way your skin rippled then spread you open again. 
“My tongue…” 
And then you felt it. His hot tongue met your clit, swiping through your labia right to your tight ring of muscles where he decided to focus his attention. Harry was aware you two didn’t have all the time in the world, but he just couldn’t compromise on his favourite thing. Tasting you. 
Your flavour, your scent, how wet you got. Like silky honey dripping down his throat and coating his lips. He was obsessed with it. Which is why he let himself a few moments of flicking his tongue against your ass before he moved down to one of his favourite parts of you. That pretty little clit. 
Your moans were like music to his ears. An array of whimpers and whines, pleaded whispers of his name and his honorific. There was nothing like hearing the moan of his name, even moreso when he was being your ‘Daddy’. You were much more pliant, more responsive. He wasn’t sure if it was your submission kicking in more than usual or because your kink was being stroked the entire time. 
Either way, he was reaping the benefits. 
You were so hot and sweet and were wiggling like a fucking worm in his grip. He had to hold onto your hips harder to keep you still, but that didn’t stop your clenching and trembling when he sucked particularly hard on your clit or fucked his tongue inside you. 
So fucking responsive.
“God, you taste so fucking sweet, baby. My favourite meal in the world.” He praised, wrapping his lips around your clit and sucking a little rougher than usual just so you’d cry out for him.
“Please. Please.” You begged, forehead pressed against the table.
“What?” Harry mused, sliding his tongue toward your entrance and pressing it there. You clenched on impact and he could feel it at the tip of his tongue. All he could think about now was getting inside you. God, he was so hard. So painfully hard. 
“Need you. Please, Daddy. Need your cock so bad.” You begged clearly this time, needing to be filled more than anything. 
“Yeah? Need it bad, do you?” Harry stood up, kissing your cheek on the way up before he was ridding himself of his clothing. He was already hot and worked up and he knew that the moment his cock touched you he’d be sweating all over. Besides… he wanted to feel you. He wanted to press his chest into your back and feel your thighs against his.
He craved the intimacy of skin to skin like nothing else.
“Yes. Fuck. Yes.” You sighed, nearly screaming in relief when you felt the tip of his cock bump against your clit. 
“I’ll give it to you baby…” He soothed, dragging his tip through your folds to collect your wetness over his cock. “I’ve got you…” His tip pressed against your entrance and you swore you could’ve cried when he slowly pushed in. “Shit.”
“Fuck.”
He stretched you slowly, torturously, like he wanted you to feel every inch of his cock. Every vein and ridge and the way he got slowly wider at the base. It wasn’t something you’d feel when he was fucking you roughly, but God it was all you could feel now. The stretch, the ache, the way your knees buckled when his hand pressed into your lower back to keep you still.
And then the slow, tortuous teasing ended and without any warning he drew his hips back and slammed back into you in a way that had your lungs losing all their breath. His hands were firm on your hips, fingers dug tightly so there was this constant ache that seemed to reach its way straight to your soul. 
And you fucking loved it. Every bruising thrust, every snapping sound, the way Harry moaned and cursed, telling you exactly how much he liked it. He never was shy from making sounds of pleasure and it was one of the things that made sex with him so hot. 
“You’re so tight. Shit, baby. Always so fucking tight around me.”
“Oh God. Harry!” 
“Wrong name, sweetheart.” He reprimanded with a heavy spank on your ass, the snapping sound echoing throughout the room. “Say the right one. Say it.” 
“Daddy.” You moaned pathetically, earning another spank right on the other cheek. The sting was the most satisfying sort of burn, a pain that lingered and ached but only made everything so much better. It fuelled your pleasure, contributing to the orgasm you had been waiting for twice now. 
It didn’t take long to reach it. Not when he had already teased you with his mouth and fingers and now was fucking you so damn good you could barely breathe. Harry didn’t stop once you rode through your orgasm, no, he took it as an opportunity to give you barely ten seconds of rest and flip you around so you were lying flat on the table. He was nestled back in you before you knew it, in a single fluid thrust that had you crying out from sheer sensitivity. 
He didn’t seem to care, or he did but just liked to see the way the tears streamed down your face. And you were okay. He knew you were okay because he checked in with you in that ten seconds of rest, making sure you were green before he flipped you over to fuck you how he wanted. 
And fuck. This was how he wanted you. 
“You just take it so fucking well, don’t you sweetheart? Always squeeze around my cock so tight.” Harry uttered through gritted teeth, fingers achingly squeezed into your cheeks while his eyes remained glued to where you two were connected.
Harry always loved fucking you from behind. The heart shape of your ass, the way he could see all your pretty holes and how you clenched around him, the way he could get his cock inside you deeper than other positions… how he could grab your hips and fuck you hard, bruising your insides and out. He liked being able to spank your pretty ass and thumb at your tight ring of muscles and he especially liked spreading your cheeks and burying his face between them. 
But nothing compared to watching your face. The way your eyes would roll back into your head, how they’d flutter and close when something felt especially good. The scrunch of your nose and furrow of your brow and the way your mouth would part in a whimper when something hurt a little too good. The way your jaw would clench and slack and how dazed your eyes got when he wrapped his hand around your throat.
He loved watching the effect he had on you. Your face showed him how good he was making you feel in a way your body didn’t and it became a little game to him on how to get you to make certain facial expressions. 
Mostly though… he liked watching your eyes gloss over the harder he fucked you, the meaner he was. He loved to watch you slip into an ultimate state of submission and pleasure. 
“Daddy…” You moaned, unable to come up with anything in reply to him. You were already too far gone. 
“I know.” He sympathised. “Shit baby, you feel so fucking good. So good. Got the best pussy, you do.” 
There was nothing like having a man moan for you. When they whimpered for you, praised you.
“Love your cock.” The words tumbled out without real thought, “feels so good. Always need it so bad.”
Shit. You didn’t talk dirty very often, not that Harry minded. He liked to watch your reactions when he uttered total filth. But Jesus… when you said anything remotely sexual like that, that you loved his cock? For a moment he feared he was going to prematurely cum before he made you finish for the second time. 
“I love when you talk dirty to me, baby, but you’re gonna need to stop if you want me to keep fucking you.”
You let out a choked laugh at his words, loving how one small compliment had him stilling for a second to collect himself. You clenched on purpose, gasping with a smile when he pinched your cheeks a little harder. 
“Spit in my mouth.”
Now you were just fucking with him. Through the haze of your pussy being completely destroyed by him, you still managed to tease him and be a fucking brat. 
“God, you’re fucking filthy today.” He gritted, cocking his head while sliding his hand down your jaw to the top of your throat so he could tuck his thumb into your mouth. “Open up.”
Your lips parted instantly, earning a pleased ‘good girl’ in return that had you happy as anything. “Stick your tongue out.” Again, you followed his instruction instantly, whimpering when his fingers dug into the sides of your neck with purpose. “That’s it. Good girl.”
It all happened so fast. The praise. The hammering of his hips against yours. The woozy pleasure feeling clouding your brain like a drug. All of it. And then it happened. Harry collected the saliva in his mouth and spat it all over your tongue, watching with sick satisfaction as your saliva slid down to the back of your throat. He groaned loudly and leaned in to kiss you fiercely, picking up the pace against your hips in a way that had tears trailing down your face. 
It was so good. So so fucking good. It felt like your whole body was on fire. Every square of your body was pressed against his and when he fucked you particularly hard, the dining table scraped across his gorgeous wooden flooring. Harry didn’t give two fucks about his scratched floors, if anything he liked the thought of always looking at a constant reminder that you were his. 
“Can’t believe what a little slut you’re being tonight.” He grinned, palming over your breast and pinching your nipple until you cried out and arched against him. “You fucking love my spit, don’t you? That’s why you asked for it. Because you love being my filthy little slut.”
Filthy little slut. God you loved when he was a little mean to you. A lot mean sometimes too. 
“Uhuh. Love it so much.” You nodded enthusiastically, well, as enthusiastically as you could after an orgasm and his cock so deep inside you, you swore you felt it in your throat. 
“Yeah? Take some more than. Since you want it so fucking bad.” He spat into your mouth again, using two fingers to roughly spread it over your tongue. He pushed them back, laughing when you suddenly gagged around his fingertips. “Aw, poor baby can’t even handle my fingers, hm? How do you manage my cock then if you can’t even take two fingers down your throat?” 
He grabbed your neck this time and pushed you back until you were lying down on the table before grabbing your ankles to hike them on your shoulder. 
Yeah… a lot mean was fucking hot. 
“Harry.” You protested, covering your face with both hands. 
Your whole body was heating up from how mean he was being. Maybe even a little shy at how much you liked it. It shouldn’t have been a surprise anymore that you liked it, not when you two had so much practice with it. Yet you still found yourself getting nervous when he looked at you a certain way or said a certain thing. You rather liked it like that. You never wanted to lose the butterflies. The romance. The big pile of mush you turned into when he degraded you and used you. 
“Don’t start being shy now, Angel. You know you like it.” He smirked, reaching forward to grab your hands from your face. He interlaced your fingers, drawing your hands down to rest on your belly so he could look at you. “Wanna look at you, baby. You’ve got the prettiest face. Look so gorgeous like this.”
Every word seemed to be egging you on, drawing you closer to the inevitable ecstasy that would flood through your core. The angle was so intense, so deep you knew that if he pressed on your belly, his cock would press through. 
“Oh god. I’m… shit. I’m so close.” You moaned, squeezing his hands and digging your heels into his shoulders. 
“Give it to me, baby. Tell me what you need.”
“My… my clit.”
Harry kept one hand intertwined with yours while the other moved down to your clit. He rubbed purposed circles over your bundle of nerves, delivering such perfect pressure it barely took a murmured ‘I love you’ for that wave of white hot pleasure to rush over you. His thrusts stilled at the feeling of you clenching around him and he was quick to widen your legs and fold over you so he could lazily slot your lips together. 
With a curse and a pretty whimper into your mouth that had your head spinning, Harry thrust once, twice, three final times until you felt his hot cum fill you up. His body was so heavy over yours, your sticky bodies pressed and joined together. You wrapped your legs and arms around him, wanting to keep him as close as possible to you. 
“God, that was so good.” He murmured, tucking his forehead into the crook of your neck.
“Agreed. I’ve missed that” you whispered, panting slightly as you ran your fingers through his hair. 
“Me too. Fuck.” He propped himself up over you, pushing your hair back from your face. “Are you okay?”
You smiled and let out a small laugh, tipping your head up so you could kiss him. “I’m more than okay. Two orgasms equals a happy girl.” 
“And what does three make you?” He grinned. 
“An even happier girl, possibly a tired girl.” You smiled, reaching your arms above your head to arch your back in a stretch. He shook his head and stood back straight, scanning his eyes over the light sheen of sweat on your pretty skin. 
“And you’re not tired now?” Harry raised his brow, looking down at your pussy to watch himself pull out. He did so slowly, careful not to hurt you and was completely mesmerised by the trail of cum that followed his cock. 
“Fuck.” You whispered, feeling an ache when he fully pulled out of you. “Of course I’m tired. A little sore too. I think I’m gonna sleep like a baby tonight.”
“Mh. Me too. Wish we could sleep together.” He replied, eyes glued to his cum slowly dripping out of you. “I don't think I’ll ever get over how hot it is to see you like this.”
“Mmh.” You agreed, propping yourself up on your elbows to look at his cock covered in your cream. “I always thought creampies were overrated before you. Now… I love it.” Your eyes flickered back to Harry, who was already looking right at you with this dark look that made you want to climb all over him again. “I like feeling it later… even if it’s a little gross to sit in cold cum.”
Harry scrunched his nose up at that, “You could’ve made that so much sexier, y/n. Now when you go home I’ll be thinking of stale cum.”
“I didn’t call it stale! I said ‘cold’.” 
“Like that’s any better?” He laughed, leaning in to kiss you. “I’ll grab you some water and a towel, okay? Stay here.” 
“Like I’d go anywhere, I’ll drip stale cum all over your floor.” You shot back as he was already walking into his kitchen. You loved his ass. It was just so cute half the time you had this temptation to just whack it but you knew he’d hate it and probably retaliate ten times worse. 
There was something so sexy about him walking around stark naked without a care in the world. He had such confidence in his body and himself that he really didn’t care. You weren’t as confident as he was in that department but being with him had definitely made you more confident in your skin. 
“It’s already on my table, y/n. The floor won’t make much difference.”
You clenched up immediately at that comment, trying to stop more of his cum from dripping out of you. “Yeah… we’ve got to sanitise this. We eat here.” You scrunched your nose and sat up to look at the spot between your legs, finding his cum already dripped onto the table. 
“Baby I’d sanitise the entire house if it meant I got to fuck you anywhere and everywhere.” He smirked, coming back with a big glass of water and a damp tea towel. He had already cleaned himself up and was quick to crouch down before you to clean you up as well. You didn’t get very nervous about the cleanup anymore. Harry had wiped you clean and taken care of you dozens of times. 
“Thank you.” You smiled, grabbing the glass from where he had put it on the table beside you. “Your bed’s next. When we have more time.”
“I still can’t believe we haven’t christened my bed yet. It feels wrong.” He murmured, watching you 
shakily bring the glass to your lips while he grabbed your underwear from the pile of clothes on the floor and dragged them up your legs.
“I know. I’ve missed your bed. It’s a lot comfier than mine, more space too.” You had this little mischievous grin playing on your lips, one that Harry found incredibly sexy. 
You were still breathing a little heavily and managed to finish half the glass by the time you lifted your hips and Harry adjusted your underwear back in place. You attempted to set the glass down on the table beside you but before you could, he stood up and stopped you with a finger pushing the cup up towards you.
“Ah. All of it.” He tutted, looking at you expectedly until you brought the cup up to your mouth again. He maintained eye contact with you, one hand rubbing over your bare thigh while he kept a single finger underneath your glass. It was firm enough to tell you to keep drinking, but not enough so you wouldn’t be able to move the glass on your own. “Good girl… that’s it, drink all of it. Atta girl.”
You loved being fucked rough and dirty and since you two decided not to use condoms, your favourite thing was being pumped full of his cum, even more so when he degraded you when it happened. Like he just did barely two minutes ago. But there was something even better about the aftercare. His sweet tone, his commanding and caring nature as he got you water and a snack. All of it. 
And the praise. Somehow it was so much sexier when you two were post-sex, even more so when it was casual. A nonchalant ‘good girl’ when you did something he asked or a loving ‘I’m so proud of you’ when you got a good grade or finished an assignment. His atta girl at finishing your water nearly made you drop to your shaky knees and get him nice and hard again with your mouth. 
He said the words like they were nothing then moved on, not really caring that you were like a frozen deer at the first sign of praise. “I happen to like your bed. It’s cosy.”
“Yeah…” you breathed, “cosy and next to a thin wall where even adjusting in my bed can be heard by next door.”
“You don’t think they’d like hearing you call me ‘Daddy’?” He grinned, putting his sweatpants on and grabbing your t shirt to help put that on you too. You’ll definitely have to shower the second you walk into your house. There’s just no way you don’t smell like a sex club. 
“No, I don’t think so.” You finished the very last sip of your water, making sure there wasn’t a single drop left in the glass. Once it was all gone, Harry grabbed it from you and placed it down on the table out of the way, tipping your head up with a gentle finger under your chin while his thumb rubbed over the leftover wetness around your mouth from your drink.
“Thank you.” You whispered, kissing his thumb.
Harry smiled softly and guided your mouth to his for a single, deep, core-clenching kiss. It felt like a kiss that was promising so much more and even though you just had your fill, literally, it didn’t make you any less insatiable for him. There was just something about Harry dominating… truly dominating that turned you into a horny little rabbit. 
You wouldn’t be surprised if Harry called you that one day. It felt like the less you saw each other, the more insatiable you became. With the last couple of weeks being so busy, each time you’ve seen each other had been takeaway or a quick dinner and quick - but good - sex. You didn’t have proper time together and while fucking until the morning sounded and felt like a good idea in the moment, when you both woke up and Harry had his long commute to work or you had a day full of classes it became a regret.
Well, not a regret per se. You’d never regret sleeping with him. Ever. But you both complained about being tired the entire day to each other. More you than him since you loved to complain about everything and now Harry was fortunate enough to be the one to hear it all. It was worth it, but it was hard.
You couldn’t take every weekend, or even every second weekend off work to spend time with Harry because you needed money and he couldn’t ‘work from home’ to spend time with you. Driving so much took it out of both of you too so it was always easier if he stayed the night. Things would change once your parents knew and you had a bit more freedom… but you had a feeling they wouldn’t be totally happy with you spending nights with him instead of them.
And next door to top it all off.
Your anxious feelings didn’t help the situation either, but even with that little hiccup, you had missed time. Time where you two could just explore each other's bodies and try new things, go multiple rounds without the stress of your responsibilities. You had that before you two started dating so you knew that the changes to your sex life were mostly your fault. Or because of your situation. 
If you lived closer things would be a lot easier. But that was also life and you two were figuring out what worked for you and now to manage it all. Ideally, once you were finished with university, maybe you two would move in with each other or at the very least you’d want to live much closer to him. 
It was still so early into your relationship and you didn’t want to jump too far… but being full of his cum made your brain a little dizzy and romantic. Suddenly you were ready to forget your birth control and let him fuck a baby in you so you could be at home with him all the time. As a fantasy of course. 
Which is why your post-sex horny brain took a few seconds longer to process the next words out of his mouth. 
“Hey, um. I need to tell you something.” He whispered, forehead pressed against yours. He slid his hand along your cheek to cup your face, letting his fingertips comb through your hair a little. 
“Hm?” you asked, brows furrowing when you read the nervous look in his eyes. Your stomach dropped suddenly and that anxious gut feeling felt more rampant than ever. “What is it?”
“I have to go back to London.” 
“Oh, okay.” You were a little taken aback. Harry hadn’t mentioned any trips or work events or anything recently. The timing of it right after the phone call too felt a bit unnerving. You just hoped everything was okay. “When?”
“Just over a month.” He murmured, feeling that steady beat of anxiety claw at his throat. Harry hated that he had to ruin such a good moment, such a pleasurable, romantic experience to talk about this. He wasn’t sure how you’d react and it scared the hell out of him. 
“Wow, that’s short notice.” You wrapped your arms around the back of his neck, threading your fingers casually into his hair. “Is it… family? Or work or?”
“Family. I…” he swallowed thickly, hugging his arms around you. “It’s my sister’s birthday. Everyone’s going to be there.”
“That’s great.” You smiled, relieved that it wasn’t something horrible. That he was okay. “That’ll be such a nice trip, Harry. Did you saw them last year when you went over?”
Harry didn’t speak about them a lot. He didn’t not speak about them and when they came up he always had something to say, but it also wasn’t a topic he brought up by himself. He spoke about his travels quite often, but even that topic hadn’t come up in a while. You were a little glad actually because you didn’t really want to think about him going away for so long. The thought of him in Italy looking all gorgeous and tanned without you made you violently ill. 
Harry shook his head and sighed, running his hand through his hair. “I haven’t been completely honest with you about my family.”
And there it was. 
“What do you mean?” You asked softly, trying not to jump to any conclusions. Whatever it was had to be deeply personal and you knew that. 
After the very brief mention of his nephew passing, you two hadn’t spoken about it once. You wanted to ask but it never felt like the right time and after that phone call, the last thing you wanted to do was make him think you were pressuring him into talking. 
And now to learn there was more… 
“Well… you know how I told you about my nephew?” You nodded, “When he died… it was right around the time I was meant to move here. The timing was so fucked. My flight had been booked for months and it was scheduled for the week after the funeral. Everything was packed and ready to go and my job was due to start only a few days after I landed in Melbourne…”
“That must’ve been so hard, Harry. I can’t imagine having to leave everyone so close to his passing.”
“It gets worse, y/n.” He shook his head, looking down at the floor. “When Harry Jr died, it really fucked me up. I already wasn’t in the best mental state because of my ex, even if I thought I was fine, and I couldn’t handle it.” You weren’t exactly sure where he was going with it. It was clear he did something, but what? “Harry Jr was like my own kid. Him and Lola were everything to me but he was just… like my twin. Lola and I were close but it didn’t compare to the bond Harry and I had. Losing him was… the worst thing that has ever happened to me and as fucked as it was and still is, I couldn’t handle it.”
Harry was starting to get worked up. His words were becoming a little shaky and you could feel how tense he became. He was holding onto you so tight and yet he was avoiding looking at you. He was scared to hear how you were going to react and he was having a hard time finding the words to explain what he had done. 
Practicing with Max did nothing to help. He had told people before and been faced with his actions for years so it wasn’t a new discussion to have. But telling you, the love of his life, how he betrayed and destroyed his family only to keep himself distanced because he was a coward was the hardest it had ever been.  
“Everyone grieves differently, Harry. It would’ve been hard for everyone.” You tried to soothe, combing through his hair. 
“I changed my flight to the day of the funeral.” He just went and said it, immediately feeling your fingers stop in his hair and how you seemed to pull your body back from his. You didn’t mean to do it, but you were a little shocked. “I spent days breaking down and feeling the most depressed I had ever been. The idea of going to that funeral and seeing the small coffin… I couldn’t do it.” He stepped back from you, running his hands through his hair. He was shaking, his throat aching with how hard he was willing away the tears. His eyes were stinging and he didn’t want to face you as he explained the rest of the story, even when you slipped off the table and whispered his name, stepping forward to place a gentle hand on his shoulder. 
“I skipped the funeral without telling anyone and I flew here to start my new life.” He paused, swallowing thickly, “I left her, y/n. I left my only sister on the worst day of her life because I couldn’t handle it. She lost her son and I left. I left!” The words came out in an angry spit and his shoulders seemed to widen and slump forward like he was holding back immense rage. At himself. “We fought and she said she’d never forgive me again, fuck I can’t forgive myself. I don’t even want to.”
You were a little thrown off balance, to be honest. You never expected him to say any of that and to hide it from you for so long. But you couldn’t be upset either. He made a terrible mistake and you could see how badly it was eating him up. Harry was a proud person and very rarely doubted himself or his actions, yet you knew he was so ashamed in himself for what he did. It was hard to see. 
“Harry…” You tried to get him to turn around with a little squeeze of his shoulder but he shrugged it off. 
“My mum hated me, Gemma hated me, Andy hated me. Everyone hated me and I deserved it. I’ve skipped every Christmas since because I couldn’t face it and because I was a coward. I’m still a coward. I’ve sent letters and texts and tried to call her and I’ve never been able to see her face to face because I’m scared. I’ve never been able to push myself to that next step because I keep thinking it’s too late. That she’ll never forgive me.” 
You could see how devastated he was about it and how angry he was at himself. And you understood it. He had spent nearly five years away from his family, beating himself up because of a huge mistake he made. And it was huge. You weren’t going to dispel that. You weren’t even sure that if you were in Gemma’s place, you’d ever get over something like that. 
But Harry has also changed a lot. You imagined Harry Jr’s death changed him for the worse. Since the moment you met him, he always was a selfish, narcissistic person. It was never a secret that he lived his life for himself and cared about money and his job over anything else and maybe Harry Jr’s death had something to do with that. But since knowing him he’s made so many improvements to himself. He’s completely turned around to try and be an honest and good person.
The things he did for you and put himself through to protect you wouldn’t be done by just anyone. He had so much love in him and had proved that time and time again. He was attentive and caring and so generous. You were starting to think that he always was that person but was torturing himself for so long because of the mistakes he had made that it was easier to keep people at an arm's length.
After knowing him deeper though, you knew that his family meant a lot to him. He spoke to his mum at least twice a week and looked after her financially too. She was a young mum and had already been retired for nearly 10 years because of the way Harry invested his money and the success he had in all his different ventures. Being able to retire a parent when you’re barely 30 and live your own life in such an extravagant way is a massive achievement. 
Which is why you were just so shocked he hadn’t visited Gemma in person yet to try and mend things. How did it take so long for him to finally make the decision to go back to the UK and mend things with her, at least you assumed that’s why he wanted to go to her birthday. You assumed the phone call with his mum had something to do with it too. 
You weren’t really sure what to make of it or what to say. You loved him and were always going to love him and it hurt to know that he had been in a mental place so low and so far gone that he hurt his only sibling this badly. He was suffering with his own grief and unable to cope that badly that his sister, the mother of his nephew had to mourn the loss of her son and her brother all at the same time.
It was awful all around. 
“Harry. Turn around, please.” You coaxed gently, giving his shoulder another little squeeze. He inhaled a shaky breath and slowly turned around, showing you his reddened eyes and puffy nose. “Come here.” You guided, grabbing his hand to pull him towards the couch so you two could sit and talk about it properly. He remained silent while you took his hands in yours, trying to find the right words to support him. 
“What you did was wrong…” His expression seemed to fall even further, complete despair in his eyes. “But you don’t need me to tell you that.” You softened your expression, reaching up to cup his face in both hands. “You’ve been torturing yourself because of this for years and I get it. I can’t put myself in your shoes or even Gemma’s shoes because I don’t have siblings and I don’t have nieces or nephews but I understand loss and I understand family. Everyone grieves differently but the one constant in our lives is our family. I don’t think it’s too late to make up for it.”
“You don’t mean that.” He whispered, scanning your face. “Why don’t you hate me? I fucked up.” 
“You did and I won’t excuse what you did. But you were in a horrible part of your life and yeah, the right thing to do was go to the funeral, but you made your choice and you’ve lived with the consequences already. You have changed and grown so much since we started dating, Harry, and I can see the difference it’s making in your life. All you can do now is try and show Gemma you’ve changed. That you’re better.” 
Harry said nothing for a moment and swallowed the lump in his throat, “I’ve tried to go home to her for years and every time I get close, I see how happy they are without me and it stops me. There was one Summer I even made it to the front gate and saw Gemma and Lola through the window. They looked so happy. Lola was so big and Gemma looked at peace. I didn’t want to destroy that.”
“Don’t you think she’d be happier knowing she had her brother back?” You asked softly, dropping your hands from his face to grab his hands instead.
“I don’t know.” He admitted, “My mum has been trying to get me to go back for a long time, always trying to convince me that everyone missed me. That Gemma missed me. I never went because I was thinking about myself instead of her. It was easier for me to stay away than confront what I did. But I don’t want to do that anymore. I don’t want to be that person.” 
He sounded so determined and he was. He always appreciated your honesty and you kept him accountable time and time again but you did it in a way that still supported him. You listened to him fully and offered support and advice. You didn’t act like he was a monster. He hoped that you felt like that on the inside too.
“Is that what the phone call was about? Her birthday?” 
Harry nodded. “My mum has been hounding me about it for months. When the call happened I wasn’t ready to tell you because I was scared I’d lose you. Really fucking scared. I know it upset you, baby, and I’m so sorry.” He squeezed your hands, bringing them up to his mouth to kiss your knuckles. “I didn’t mean to lie. I didn’t want to. I hope I haven’t lost you because I was ashamed.”
“You haven’t.” You smiled, squeezing his hands. “You haven't. I was upset at the time, but I didn’t want to press you because you’re allowed to have things that are just yours... I knew you’d tell me when you were ready.” You reached up to cup his cheek, watching the way he nuzzled into your touch, eyes fluttering closed at the comfort he felt. “I don’t think you’re that person anymore, Harry. I think Gemma would appreciate the work you’ve put into yourself to become a better person.”
“You think so?” He whispered, scanning your face with his eyes. 
You nodded. “I think it’ll take time. I honestly don’t know how things will work out because I don’t know her, but I know you and I know you’ll do everything you can to fix things with her. You’re her brother, Harry.”
“I love you,” Harry murmured, sliding his hand into the hair at the nape of your neck to draw you in for a kiss. This wasn’t the end of this conversation by any means. You had questions and you hoped that he’d be a lot more open about his family now. This was such an intense, deep-rooted issue. If he wanted to talk about it more, which you hoped he did, it wouldn’t happen in one night. 
The kiss deepened ever so slightly, ending with a little run of his tongue against your bottom lip while he rested his forehead against yours. “Will you come with me?” 
“What? Where? To London?” You blinked, a little surprised at his sudden request. 
He nodded, tightening his hand in your hair just a little. It wasn’t to hurt you, just to feel you. “I don’t know if I can do it by myself. I want you there.”
“Harry-” you tried to interrupt, but it was like he felt your hesitation before you even said anything. 
“I can show you my hometown, my house. You can meet my mum, maybe even Gemma. I just… I don’t want to leave you. I want you to come with me.”  
This felt like something he needed to do by himself. It happened before he even knew you and was such an important step in his life. Family is family and it would almost feel like an intrusion to be there when he’d be sorting through so much history. 
“Harry…” you sighed, leaning back. “I want nothing more than to support you but I have school. I don’t know if I can take time off and I’ve still got this trip planned at the end of the year with my friends. Money wise too… it’s a lot and it’s so soon.”
“You wouldn’t have to pay for a thing, y/n. I’d never let you do that.” His voice turned lower just a touch like he was almost reprimanding you for even suggesting he’d let you pay for a single thing. “And I think it might even align with your semester break, at least some of it anyway. Even if you flew in later and met me there? We could travel. I could take you to my house in Italy.” He was trying so hard to convince you but by the look on your face, it wasn’t working. 
“It’s not just that, Harry.” You chuckled at his attempts to convince you, which actually were quite appealing. “I love you and the idea of Italy and seeing where you grew up is so… amazing but I think this is something you need to do by yourself. There is so much history there and so much you need to work through. I don’t know if it’s a good idea for me to go.” 
“I want you to come.” He coaxed, pecking you quickly. God when he had that almost pouty look on his face and murmured so sweetly… you’d agree to anything. “You can do your own thing. You’ve always wanted to go to London. There’s so much to do and you can do whatever you want. As long as I get to see you at the end of the day, that’s all that matters. Have you in my bed every night.” Now the thought of that was extremely appealing. “Just think about it. Please.” 
“I’ll think about it.” You compromised, smiling softly. 
“Thank you.” He kissed you again before wrapping his arms around you to draw you into his chest. Both of you knew you had to head home, but it wasn’t the right time for you to leave. You couldn’t. 
You spent the next hour or so just wrapped in his arms, then him wrapped in yours. He opened up a little more about Gemma and his extended family and he already seemed so much more open to speak about them. You could tell this was something that weighed heavy on him for a long time. 
Archie made his way from outside at some point too, bringing in a trail of dust and leaves that broke the tension in the room and let you and Harry distract yourselves by bathing him. He had been running a muck outside the entire time, obsessively playing with a new toy Harry bought him. He was so engrossed in it, that he didn’t even know you came over. 
That was probably a good idea since you and Harry spent a lot of your time together naked. You swear Archie had PTSD from Harry’s instruction to go to his bed.
It was late by the time you peeled yourself from Harry, not wanting to leave but knowing you had to. He didn’t want you to leave either but you promised to come over before you left in the morning. He was tempted to come home with you and you had a feeling he might drive back in his own car so he could spend the night with you, or even the day before driving back in the night. 
It was times like these where you hated that your parents didn’t know about him. After learning everything, maybe it was time. 
“Hey, baby.” Your mum greeted, hugging you the moment you walked into your kitchen. 
“Hi.” You smiled, hugging her back. “Hey, Dad.”
“Hey, pumpkin.” He hugged you next, kissing your forehead before returning to the pot he was stirring on the stove. 
“Sorry I took forever, I was catching up with Harry then Archie ended up dragging dirt through the house so I stayed to help him clean up.” You explained, hoping she bought the excuse. There was this expression on her face that just told you she didn’t believe you, but she didn’t say anything about it so you decided to leave it and not say too much. Otherwise, she’d really know something was up if you started waffling. 
“It’s nice you two have stayed so close.” There was something about the way she focused on the word ‘close’, but she had a glass of wine in hand and always liked to read into things when she got a bit tipsy. You hoped you were just being a little paranoid. “You think he’ll give you your job back over your semester break?” 
“Oh, I don’t know. I might just plan my shifts at the cafe so I can be here for a couple of days then at mine for a couple of days. I don’t want to cut my shifts at the cafe completely.”
“Mh.” She agreed, “think about it. You know I like having you around.”
“I know. I like being here too.” You smiled, “I’m going to shower and get changed quickly. I’ll be right back.”
“Alright. Don’t be too long.” She called after you. 
“I won’t!”
The night continued as it always did. Dinner, a glass of wine, an update on your week of uni and your night out with your friends (sans Harry, of course). Then Dad went to his office to do some quotes and your mum and you wound up on the couch watching The Real Housewives. Another couple glasses of wine was involved, but it was a Saturday night and you had nowhere to be tomorrow except home. 
Perfect.
Until your mum paused the show while you got up to get a snack and when you returned, she had no plans of playing it again. She had this look on her face, like she was getting ready to announce something really big or ask you an invasive question. 
It was the latter.
“Are you okay?” You asked, landing on the couch with a heavy seat. The wine slowly infused in your body, making you feel like a heavy lump of bones. You were getting to the point where one more sip of wine would knock you out and your pillow was calling your name.
“I need to ask you something.” She shifted on the couch, sitting cross legged while facing you. She still had her glass of wine in hand, eyeing it like she had a nervous tick.
“Okay…” you looked at her a little funny, taking a sip of wine. 
“Are you sleeping with Harry?” At her words, your eyes widened and the wine suddenly travelled down the wrong hole. You coughed repeatedly and Mum was quick to lean forward to tap your back until your coughing subsided. “Our neighbour, Harry.”
“Thanks for the clarification, Mum, but I only know one Harry.” You coughed, rubbing the sore spot over your chest. “Why are you asking me this?”
“Just answer the question. Is it true?”
Shit. What were you even meant to do? You didn’t want to lie about it because the truth would always come out, but you also weren’t ready to talk about it. You had this whole speech planned and all these things you wanted to say when you brought it up to her and now that she was the one asking you about it, there was nothing in your head.  
You felt bombarded by it. But maybe it was better to tell her first before your dad found out. At least this way you could explain everything and diffuse any worries so when he found out, your mum would be on your side. And you knew she would be. Or hopeful at best. Maybe not at first, but all she wanted was your happiness and if Harry made you happy, she’d support you with it.  
Your parents had always told you that they didn’t care what you did with your life as long as you were happy, healthy and safe. They’d support you if it truly was what you wanted. When they said that they were talking about work, not dating your neighbour, but it still applied. 
It would be a shock to them and you knew that, but no one was getting hurt and you were happier than you had ever been. You knew they’d understand. Eventually anyway. 
“Um…” you trailed off, looking away briefly. “Yes? But we’re not sleeping together, we’re… we’re dating.” Even though you could tell she wasn’t surprised, the look of pure disappointment on her face expressed exactly how she felt. She didn’t want you to say yes. “I was going to tell you.” You jumped in again before she replied, wanting to get as much out as possible before she gave her opinion. “I swear. I wanted to tell you and Dad both at the same time so you two wouldn’t get all weird with each other if one of you knew first.”
“Oh god, y/n!” Mum pinched the bridge of her nose. She took a heavy sip of wine before continuing like it would somehow make the news easier to bear. “I had a feeling you were going to say that. I prayed that you weren’t and yet here we are.”
“You knew? How?”
“I didn’t know, but I kind of worked it out. You've been a little giddier than usual. Always looking at your phone and you’re always going over there when you come to visit. He's been different too. Less broody and secretive and he's been getting a dogsitter for Archie for a lot more overnights than usual. Mother’s know these things, y/n. So… explain. How did it start?”
Was it seriously that obvious? When she put it like that, it kind of was obvious that you were seeing someone. She wasn't particularly upset by it, but her tone wasn't overly jovial either. She was calm. Calm was good.
Though it could've been the wine making her more relaxed.
“I guess we kind of got closer as I dogsat Archie. We’d always talk for ages and we had that weekly dinner, which you knew about. Then one day… I don’t know. Things changed.” You averted eye contact, feeling a blush graze your cheeks at the memory of the first time you two slept together. 
“You were sleeping together?” You nodded silently, knowing that she’d be able to tell if you were lying. “When?”
“What?”
“When was the first time?”
“Mum.” You protested, “you don’t need to know that.”
“I do, actually because now that I know it happened, I need to know when it started.”
“Yes but-”
“So when was the first time, y/n?”
You clearly weren't getting out of this one.
“...A few weeks before his birthday, I guess.”
“A few weeks before his birthday.” She repeated to herself, “so you were dogsitting for him and having dinner with him for weeks and what? You two were just sleeping together each time just like that? All those times you came home ‘late’, you were sleeping with him? Right next door? Have you slept with him here?”
“Mum, stop!” You whined, hating how she seemed to be spiralling about the fact you had sex. 
Her questions were practically spitfire and if you didn't stop her now, she'd continue and her questions would get way more invasive. She always was like that when she drank. Nosy and more brazen than usual. Dad always said it was because she was pretty that she got away with the way she ran her mouth when she drank.
Mum was harmless, but God if there was even a smidge of a secret hanging around she'd find out and talk about it to anyone and everyone.
She knew you weren’t a virgin and while you didn’t share every detail of your sex life, she knew you had slept with a couple of guys. You were always open and honest with her to an extent because you valued her advice, especially when your heart got involved and you ended up getting hurt. But right now you didn’t want to hear her fears or her spiralling bout the fact you had sex next door when you knew she and Dad had sex only two rooms away from you. If it were up to her, she’d know every detail about every aspect of your life.
You understood it to an extent and you practically did share everything with her. But seriously. Boundaries. 
“I love you but it’s none of your business. I don’t ask when you and dad have sex because that’s disgusting so don’t ask me!” 
“Fine. Fine. You’re right.” She let out an exasperated sigh and rolled her eyes, “Just tell me you’re still on birth control and we can move on.”
“Yes. I am.”
“Good because I swear to God, y/n, if you come home pregnant...”
“Mum!”
“I had to say it, okay? It’s my job as a mother. Now continue.”
“It wasn’t serious at first and neither-” you paused to give her a warning glance when it looked like she was going to make another comment about your sex life. She only rolled her eyes and sipped her wine again, attentively listening to you talk, “neither of us wanted a relationship and I always said to you too that it didn’t interest me but he somehow managed to change my mind about it all. He didn't mean to and he was further away from commitment than I was... but the longer it went on, the more we realised that it was more than just casual." You let out a sigh, "I didn’t want to like him mum, I didn’t. There were problems and he had problems and I knew it was stupid to fall for someone who lived his whole life single and selfish but things changed and kept changing. He changed.”
The whole time you spoke, she actively listened. She didn’t try to interrupt or even make any weird noises of indignation that your dad definitely would. She just listened and processed it. You appreciated that. 
“It wasn’t an easy beginning to our relationship because we had a lot of differences and he… he hurt me really bad. I almost told you back then too because he broke my heart. Really bad.” Your voice broke slightly, feeling that same break in your heart that you did at the very beginning.
“Y/n.” She soothed, placing her hand on yours over your knee. “You could’ve told me back then, y’know. I would’ve been there for you. I'm a little hurt you didn't trust me enough to come talk to me about this.”
“It's not about trust, mum. You know I trust you. Everything was just so complicated and I didn’t want to talk about it. I didn’t really think we’d get back together, anyway, so I didn’t want to start something and have you storm to his house to tell him off for no reason when I thought it was over.”
“I would’ve done that. I can still do that for you, if you want?” She smiled, sipping her wine again.
“No, don't," You rolled your eyes, laughing softly. “We worked things out and… well we never looked back. Before we ended our casual relationship so badly, Harry was really complicated and secretive and God sometimes I wanted to strangle him. But when we got back together… he changed everything for me, mum. He worked on himself and is still working on himself and honestly, I’m probably the happiest I’ve ever been. He treats me so so well and he spoils me and loves me everyday and-”
“He loves you?” She interrupted, “as in you loves you.”
You nodded.
“And you love him back?”
You took an extra moment to respond to her, not really sure where she was going with her comments. “I do. I know I do.”
“y/n…” She sighed. You could feel the change in the air. How her active listening turned to disappointment and a hope that your relationship would end before it properly started. “I honestly thought that you were just dating and having fun and he was buying you nice things, but love? I have no doubt you feel that way towards him but isn’t it too soon?”
“I just know, mum. I had no control over it and I never meant for it to happen but it did and… and I’m happy. I’m so happy with him and even with the distance and everything else, we’re making it work.”
“But how? He’s not too much younger than your dad and I and he’s got no kids, has never been married? Everyone knows he’s had his fun and sleeps with whoever he wants, what’s to say he doesn’t still want that? And then there’s the opposite. What if he’s finally done with being a bachelor and wants to settle and have kids before he gets too old? Is that what you want? Because I know it’s not.” She gave you this look and crossed her arms over her chest, like she already knew what your answer would be.
She seemed to know all your answers tonight.
“Of course I don’t want that. Not now anyway. But he doesn’t want that and he doesn’t want to sleep around either.” 
“So you two haven’t spoken about settling down?” She fired back, already knowing that you had. Your mum was the best reader of people and relationships, probably because she stuck her nose in everyone's business and knew all the ways they failed.
“I mean we have but not for now. Like… just so we both know that this isn’t a short term kind of thing.”
“Y/n, baby. You are so young. So young and gorgeous and smart.” She soothed, leaning forward to cup your face and run her hands over your hair. “You have your whole life in front of you and the whole world at your fingertips. Why are you settling down with someone who’s already experienced everything? Would you not rather explore the world with someone who hasn’t seen it over and over again?”
“Mum, I can still do everything I want to do when I’m with him." You exasperated, brushing her hands off you. "I can travel and work overseas if I want and I still see my friends and do everything normal. Being in a relationship doesn’t stop that and if anything, Harry’s position makes it easier. He’s stable financially and is happy to slow down and do what I want. It’s not that he doesn’t get a say, but he’s got the freedom and wants to experience everything with me. It may not seem like it, but he’s got a lot of firsts too, mum. Trust me, I’ve thought about it all.”
“Look, I don’t know him very well.” She sighed, settling back against the couch. “He’s been living next door for nearly five years and I couldn’t even tell you what footy team he supports, but he’s always been polite and charming. All I can do is go off that and what you tell me and if you’re telling me you’re happy then… I guess I’m happy too. I just don’t want you to get hurt, y/n. By anyone.”
“I know. I don’t want that either but I promise you’ll love him like I do. You’ll see why he means so much to me. You and dad.” You smiled, reaching for her hand and giving it a squeeze.
“I hope so.” She smiled back, squeezing your hand in return. “So tell me more. Tell me everything.”
The next few hours were spent practically debriefing your entire relationship. You kept the bigger problems private as she simply wouldn’t understand the Ethan situation, but you told her everything else you two had been through. If it had something to do with Ethan, you twisted the story a little but for the most part, it was an amazing chat.
You loved your mum more than anything and to actually sit there and talk about Harry so freely and honestly and have her engage properly was the best feeling ever. She freely gave advice (even when you didn’t want it) but you were happy with that. You didn’t have a lot of boy problems so actually having someone to talk about with her was everything to you. It made you hopeful for the future of your relationship with Harry and took so much weight off your shoulders.
It was liberating.
“Oh god…” mum wheezed, her laughter coming to a stop as she finished off her final glass of wine for the evening. “I’m too drunk right now but in the morning we’ll brainstorm how to get back at chatty Cathy across the road. She can never ever keep her mouth shut. That woman.”
“What? What are you talking about?” Your brows furrowed and that happy, calm energy you had somehow dissipated into thin air. 
“Tracey? The only reason I asked you if you were seeing Harry was because Tracey’s been hinting at it for weeks. I thought I told you.”
“No… you didn’t.”
Your mind was suddenly twisting and turning. After everything you had been through with her and Ethan and even just the shit between you and Harry, she still wouldn’t leave you alone. You had done nothing to her and left her alone since you moved out for school and yet she still had to run her mouth off about you? You just didn’t get it. 
Harry had recordings over her admitting to lying to you and you had photos of her cheating and she knew that and still decided to try and get some attention her way? Nope. Not on your fucking watch. 
You were over it. You were over being the target of people who you had nothing to do with. Who only wanted to use you to get money or for some other stupid fucking reason that meant nothing in real life. You were done. So if she was going to run her big fat mouth about you, then you were going to do it right back and you were going to hit her where it hurt the most. Her family.
//
It was only a couple of days later when the truth came out. You weren’t trying to hide it from Harry but it also wasn’t exactly a conversation you wanted to have over the phone. He got called into work for some client emergency on Sunday which ruined his plan to come spend the day and/or night with you. Then neither of you could see the other until Tuesday as he planned to work from home on Wednesday. 
You were glad that his quiet days seemed to align with yours because it meant you could spend more time together. Even if you were both busy working or doing uni work, just being in his presence was enough to make you happy. And now that your mum knew about you two… it was only a matter of time before you could start spending nights at his house too.
“Baby?” You heard Harry’s voice echo through your apartment, easily being heard in the shower due to your thin walls. 
“In here.” You yelled back, scrubbing your nails through your scalp to rinse out the remaining conditioner. Harry accidentally went home with your keypass after going on his morning run the last time he stayed over. He kept it in his shorts pocket so he wouldn’t wake you and it wound up in his bags somehow, hence his ability to enter your place without you needing to go downstairs and get him. He wasn’t really meant to have them, but it was only for a couple of days and Maeve had your spares so you could still get in and out easily.
“Can I come in?” He asked a moment later, knocking on the bathroom door. 
“Yeah.”
Wordlessly, he opened the door and let himself in, scanning your naked body from head to toe. You were facing the wall with your eyes closed, head tilted back so the water was streaming down your hair. Gorgeous. He had been craving you all day. It was just one of those days where it was shit after shit and all he wanted to do was crawl into bed with you and just be wrapped in your arms. 
“Can I join you?” Harry asked softly, itching to jump in the hot water with you. He was already loosening his tie. Before entering your bathroom he took off his jacket and shoes so he was ready to let the rest of his clothes fall to the ground without care. You always had showers extremely hot and now that the weather was cooling down, Harry quite liked the sauna it left behind in the bathroom. He didn’t particularly enjoy it when it was 30° outside but he never let that stop him from getting in a shower with you.
“Of course, you can.” You smiled, still facing away from him. You always felt a little vulnerable being in a shower with him. Even though he had seen your body plenty of times, there was still something so sacred and personal about getting clean. You were glad you had already washed yourself before he came in because the last thing you needed him to see was you plucking out one of your long hairs from your underarms or ass. 
“I wasn’t sure what time you’d be here.” You hummed, feeling the slide of his cold bare hands along your hips as he joined you in the shower.
“Yeah, I had to work late. ‘M sorry to keep you waiting.” He murmured, kissing your shoulder while wrapping his arms fully around you. You sighed into the touch, tilting your head back to welcome the feeling of his body around yours. He snuggled against you, proper bear-hugging you while digging his forehead into the crook of your neck. 
“It’s okay. Maeve dragged me to a late Pilates class so I had to wash my hair. I swear I sweat like two litres every time.” You laughed softly, “I would’ve waited for you. I like being at the door to greet you.”
“I like having you greet me too.” He kissed your neck softly, “did you have fun at Pilates? I haven’t been for a while.”
“I liked it. It was a beginner class so no handstands or anything like you do but I’m sore already. ” You teased, turning around slowly to face him. He kept your body close, immediately kissing you once your faces were in line. “We should go together sometime. I’ve been trying to get Jay to go but he keeps blowing me off.” You offered, immediately sensing that something was off with him. 
“I’d like that.” He murmured, pressing his lips against yours again. Harry was craving your comfort. He didn’t want to start anything or get too riled up, he just loved the warmth that spread through his chest when his mouth melted into yours. It could be a peck, a pash, a full snogging session. It didn’t matter. 
You combed your fingers through his hair, pushing it away from his face. “How was your day?”
“Shit. Just one of those days, y’know.” Harry replied, pressing your foreheads together before kissing you again. “I missed you.” 
“I missed you too. Do you want to talk about it?” You slowly eased your bodies around so he was facing the water instead of you. He shook his head and let his eyes flutter closed as the hot water streamed over his head. You pushed his hair back from his face, kissing his chest. “Okay.” When Harry wanted to talk he’d willingly do so, so you weren’t going to push him. Sometimes work was just shit and you got that. He’d probably talk about it later once he decompressed and relaxed. “You want me to wash your hair?”  
A smile grew on his face at your offer and he tipped his head down to look at you. Harry loved having his hair played with and his scalp scratched. He was like a cat. Sometimes he’d just lay there with his head on your lap for hours while you played with his hair. You first found it out during sex because he liked the pain, especially when his head was between your thighs so it only made sense he’d like it out of the bedroom too. 
“You sure?”
You nodded and reached up on your tippy toes to kiss him. “Turn around.” 
He pecked your mouth gently as a thank you then turned around to face the water. Wordlessly, you grabbed your shampoo and squeezed some onto your hands, rubbing them together to emulsify before you brought them to his scalp. 
Harry moaned as you massaged his scalp, using your nails to scratch as you went. “That feels good.” 
“Good.” You hummed, happy to look at the expanse of his back. His back muscles were incredible. 
It sometimes amazed you how fit he was, but with his daily runs and intense personal training sessions he somehow managed to squeeze into his routine, it really was no wonder that he looked the way he did. He worked his ass off to be as fit as he was and to stay that way and it all paid off because his physique was better than any boy your age.
You joined him in a personal training session once and you had no doubt any of the boys you had been with in the past would fail halfway through. Would you say you participated in said session? No. You were lugged over his shoulders so he could use your weight to do squats though. 
“Are we okay?” Harry asked suddenly, voice soft. 
“Of course we are.” You replied instantly. “Why wouldn’t we be?” You continued rubbing circles on his scalp, massaging him to make it more pleasurable and relaxing. Your arms were already starting to ache a little, but it was worth it. 
“I’m just making sure.” 
“I love you, Harry. Nothing will change that.” You murmured, running your hands down from his scalp to massage his neck and over his shoulder. He echoed the sentiment, voice just audible over the water as your lips created the trail for your hands to follow; over his neck and the expanse of his shoulders, down to the middle of his back and as low as you could go without bending. 
The tension was slowly leaving his body. Tense muscles melting and relaxing, his tense shoulders slumping until he was heavy on his feet. He was completely pliant to your touch and you couldn’t wait to wrap your arms around him and cuddle in bed. Part of you even wanted to skip dinner and head straight to bed.
“Rinse it, H.” You whispered, kissing a little freckle on his back before pulling back to give him space to turn around. He started scrubbing the shampoo out while you prepared his conditioner, rubbing it through your hands so it covered all your fingers. 
“Y’know something interesting did happen today. It was quite a spectacle in the neighbourhood.” Harry mused, already feeling better just by your touch and loving words. He stayed facing towards you to catch your reaction, which was as easy to read as ever. 
“What?” You froze for a split second while reaching to thread the conditioner through his hair, already knowing exactly what he was talking about. 
“Tracey was kicked out. Unfortunately I was already on my way to work but she was crying so loud everyone on the street was watching. Apparently, he found out she was cheating on him. You know anything about that?” He had this look of knowing on his face and it was like he knew that you had something to do with it. 
Shit. 
“About that…” you smiled sheepishly, putting your hands down to let the conditioner sit in his hair. 
“I knew it!” He accused, laughing while squeezing your hips. “What did you do?”
“Okay, but you can’t be mad.” You laughed, poking his chest. “I was going to tell you tonight, okay?” 
“Mad? Why would I be mad?” His brows knitted together, “I’m sure whatever you did had good reasoning behind it.”
“Well, yeah she’s a cunt but it’s not that.” Harry laughed loudly at your comment and you could feel his mood being lifted like steam dissipating in the air. You had such a fucking mouth on you sometimes. He loved it. “When I got home after we had that talk, everything was normal until my mum and I were watching TV after dinner. She said she had to talk about something and then just flat-out asked me if you and I were sleeping together! Like it was nothing.” 
“Shit.” His eyes widened, “And what did you tell her?”
“I told her the… truth.” You were a little nervous to tell him. A lot nervous actually. You knew he was ready to tell your parents whenever you were, but it felt wrong to have that conversation without him. But you couldn’t exactly call him or go over to his house after he just told you about his nephew. That would’ve been all sorts of fucked. Your mum knowing about you two dating meant nothing compared to what he was going through. 
“You did?”
“Yes. I’m really sorry.” You rushed out. “I wanted you to know when I was going to do it but I couldn’t lie to her when she was straight out asking me the question.”
“And you thought I’d be mad?” He scoffed, laughing softly while tucking your hair behind your ear. “Baby, the only way I’d be mad is if you were pressured into doing something you weren’t ready for. Were you okay having that conversation with her? I know… I know you weren’t ready to tell your parents yet.”
“Harry she asked me because Tracey was talking shit. After everything, everything we went through and all the fucked up shit she did and she still can’t leave me alone. I’ve done nothing to her.”
That manipulative cunt. 
Harry didn’t like to use that word very often. Other than the obvious use when he was trying to degrade you. But there was simply no other word in the English language that summed up who Tracey was. Desperate? Yes. Annoying? Just the sound of her breathing had Harry gritting his teeth. But the only word that truly encompassed everything about her was cunt.
He had no idea that her being kicked out was because she was causing problems again. He assumed it had something to do with you because you were cheeky and sneaky at times, but he didn’t expect this. After everything that happened, he thought you guys were done with her. 
“What the fuck? Fucking hell, y/n. Why didn’t you tell me?” He was getting a little frustrated at you now and you could see it in his expression. You just grabbed his hair and tilted his hair back, forcing his hair back under the water to rinse the conditioner out. Even though he was annoyed you didn’t tell him, he was still pliant to your touch and it took very minimal effort to maneuver his head. 
“Because we just spoke about your family and my drama literally doesn’t matter compared to what you’re going through. I didn’t want to bother you and then I didn’t want to tell you over the phone.”
“Of course it matters.” He scoffed, “You shouldn’t have to deal with this shit by yourself. I thought she was dealt with, but clearly not. How long have you known?”
“I found out when my mum asked me about us. I had no idea anything was happening before that.”
“So… what? Tracey’s been running her mouth?”
“Basically.” You sighed, still running your fingers through his hair to get rid of the last bits of conditioner. “She hasn’t said anything directly, but she’s been making comments and saying random things that makes people think that we’re sleeping together. At least that’s what my mum said.”
“I don’t get why she’s doing this.” He sighed, “You’ve moved out and we’ve left her alone after everything that happened. She’s got no reason to come after us again.”
“Like I said, she’s a cunt.” Your words came out matter-of-factly, eliciting a roll of Harry’s eyes. “She’s probably bored and thinks that it’s easy to use me to have her fun because I’m not there to defend myself.”
“Bullshit. I’m there to defend you. Why isn’t she scared of me?” Harry scoffed, eliciting a laugh in response.
“Harry she’s obsessed with you and even if you blackmailed her and stomped all over her old wrinkly heart, she still wants you.”
“I didn’t stomp over anything. And I’m taking your old wrinkly statement as an insult.”
“Yeah right. You love being the ripe age of 39. ‘I get sexier with age, y/n’.” You quoted, attempting to mimic his low raspy accent. He raised a brow and immediately went for your sensitive spots, squeezing your waist with light twinkling fingers in an attempt to tickle you. “Stop!” You squealed, hitting his hands away. “Stop it Harry!”
“Admit I get sexier as I age. Admit it.” He threw back, wrapping one arm around your waist while using the other to tickle you. 
“I hate you!” You tried to push his hand off, laughing and wiggling and squealing all at the same time. It didn’t help that you two were still very much naked. “Whatever. You’re sexier as you age.”
The tickling stopped instantly and Harry had this smug grin on his face, happy that he beat you. “Thank you.”
“You’re a child.” You rolled your eyes.
“Come on. Finish the story.” He laughed softly, looping his arms around your waist. 
“I don’t even know what I was up to before your ego got bruised.”
He chose to ignore that statement. “You were explaining how obsessed Tracey is with me.”
“Oh, right. She’s obsessed with you so obviously she won’t be scared and she’s not threatened by me. She really didn’t think that I’d retaliate in any way even if I told her I would and now look at her. I think I handled it pretty fucking perfectly.” You announced proudly. 
It felt a little evil to be so happy over someone elses pain. You had ruined Tracey’s life and yet you were satisfied. It felt justified. In the beginning you never wanted to use your threats against her. You just wanted to be left alone, even if that meant sitting on evidence that she was having an affair. Now though… you felt worse about keeping it a secret than using it to get back at her.
“I’d say so.” Harry laughed. “How did it all happen?”
“She goes to pilates on Sundays so I waited until she was gone and went over to speak with Oscar. All I did was tell the truth and show him one of the photos of her and Ethan. I felt really bad for him, actually. He believed me even before I showed him a photo but he still wanted to see it, probably for proof so he doesn’t have to pay her out.” 
“Well shit.” Harry laughed, quickly turning you both around so you got some of the hot water. “He clearly didn’t take it well.”
You shook your head. “No. I could tell he was trying not to cry. I feel like I should’ve told him earlier.” You looked away for a moment, “it feels wrong to use one persons tragedy to get back at someone else. Like this is probably the worst thing to ever happen to him and I used it to get back at her. He doesn’t deserve that. Neither do his kids.”
“I know. The truth had to come out some way, though. It always does. Don’t blame yourself too much for it just because you benefited from it in some way. ” He grabbed your chin gently, guiding you to look back at him. “How did your mum react when you told her about us, anyway?” 
You were glad he was switching back to your mum because you really didn’t want to dwell to much on Tracey of all people. Or the shittiness you felt. 
“She already knew before Tracey started talking about us. She had this look on her face like she was waiting for me to outright say it.” 
“Wow. Really?”
“Yeah… she said it was mother’s intuition or whatever. I’m surprised she waited this long to say something about it, to be honest. She usually can’t keep her mouth shut and she already had a glass of wine when we spoke about it.”
Harry smiled at your comment, smoothing his hands over your back. “Was she upset about it? What did she say?”
“We spoke about it for a long time. She wasn’t upset but not thrilled either. I told her how happy I am and a little bit about our relationship so far and she seemed happy that it’s going well, but she’s still worried. I think she’s worried about the age gap and… well, your reputation. She doesn’t want me to get hurt.” 
You didn’t really want to go through the entire conversation with him. Nothing bad happened but it also felt like something that just you and your mum needed to know about. She gave you a lot of advice that made you feel lucky to have someone like her in your life. She was concerned but she actually listened to you, even when the conversation went a little wild, she listened to you and shared her own opinion as well. It went as well as you could’ve hoped. 
“My reputation as in…”
“Your one night stands. Obviously, I assured her that she didn’t have to worry about it. She thinks you’re charming but I think that also scares her. You’re the first real relationship I’ve had and it’s not exactly conventional and… I don’t know.” You sighed, looking away for a moment, “She said that she hoped my first love would be someone my age, that I’d date more before feeling so strongly about someone.”
Harry didn’t like the sound of that. So far, your mum’s concerns were valid ones and ones he expected. He never thought it would be easy or something your parents would understand right away and he prepared himself for that. They weren’t much older than him so navigating his relationship with them and you would take time. 
But he didn’t like the way those words came out of your mouth. That your mum hoped your first love was someone else and that you had more experience with other people before settling down. You two weren’t exactly planning for a baby or anything, it had barely been four months, and neither of you put any expectations on your relationship. You were young and he never imagined himself as the marrying type so you both just wanted to date and love each other and see how things evolved.
But you were still in it for the long haul with each other. This wasn’t a short term arrangement or something casual. You two loved each other. 
For Harry, he had already experienced heartbreak in all forms and he had grown from that. The Harry that survived his very first love was a completely different person to now. It wasn’t the only thing that shaped him to be the man he was today, but it contributed a lot to his life. He was at a point in his life now where meeting you and falling in love with you had completely changed how he thought his life would go.
He wanted to settle down with you. He couldn’t picture a future without you in it and you made it very clear that you loved him more than anything and you wanted to have that future with him. 
But you didn’t have what Harry had. You didn’t have years of making mistakes and meeting people and exploring yourself. Of figuring out who you are and what you want in life. You can do that with a partner and Harry knew he could show you the world and provide experiences you might not have if you were by yourself, but if you took the romance and his undying love for you out of the equation, would he encourage you to give your all to him? 
If it were anyone else, he’d tell them to keep their options open and grab any opportunities given to them. Was he holding you back from that?
“Do you wish you did? Have more relationships before me?” He solemnly asked, brows knitted together while he waited your reaction. 
That was a hard question to answer. But you had no regrets in dating Harry and that’s all that mattered. “In some ways, yes. I wish I had more experience in how to navigate even being in a relationship. But mostly no. There’s no one else I’d want to share my firsts with. In a lot of ways, you’re my first everything and I wouldn’t trade that for the world.” You cupped his face, running your thumbs under his cheeks. “Loving you is the happiest I’ve ever been and hopefully now, the people we love will be part of that too.”
Harry’s gaze softened and time seemed to still around you two. Having this conversation in such a vulnerable place like a shower only added to the intimacy of it all. You had a way of knocking the air out of his lungs. It happened with a look or a sigh, your gorgeous smile. And it definitely happened when you said things like this. 
“I want to give you the world, y/n. I want to give you everything you want. You tell me and it’s yours.” He murmured, gazing deep in your eyes.
“I just want you.” You whispered, “It’s all I’ve ever wanted, really.”
His eyes flickered between yours as he tipped his head forward to rest his forehead against yours. His wet hair dripped down your cheek, running down your jaw and neck, all the way until it joined the water at your feet. “I just want you too. Always.” 
You smiled and pulled his mouth down towards you, pressing your body against his to get impossibly closer to him. He wrapped his arms fully around you, squeezing you against him so every inch of your pretty soft skin melted into his. Your mouths blended into one, lips brushing together in a slow languid kiss. 
His tongue slid across your bottom lip and you freely gave him access to your mouth so he could slip in and run his tongue against yours. God, everything about it was so sexy. The steam clouding over you both, how good your wet bodies felt pressed together… the way his cock started to harden against your thigh, unable to spring up in that way you loved due to how close you two were. 
“I think…” You gasped, breaking free to run your mouth over his jaw. “You should finish your shower…” You pressed kisses in a path towards his ear, kissing his lobe once you got there before playfully tugging at it between your teeth. Harry whimpered in your ear, reaching down to squeeze your ass in both hands. “...and join me in bed.”
With that, you kissed his neck then unwrapped yourself from his arms, smirking as you slid past him to grab your towel. His hand snapped out suddenly, clasping around your wrist. “Don’t go.”
Harry looked like a starved man. His chest was heaving, cock heavy and hard between his legs and his lips all red and puffy from your kisses. You would’ve fucked him right there if shower sex didn’t scare the hell out of you. 
“I’ll get you a towel.” You blew him a little kiss, ignoring the crazed look in his eyes and walking away. Oh did you love a tease. 
It wasn’t long before Harry had you pinned to your bed, grinding his hips in slow deliberate strokes. Your entire love making was just that, making love. It was slow and deep, full of so many kisses you could barely breathe. His body was pressed heavy on top of you and he made sure you felt every inch of him that you could. Every inch of his cock, every inch of his heavy muscle and soft sweaty skin.
The window above your bed was still open, a clear view of the moon above your heads. It was a view you two decided was worth putting your pillows down by your feet when you were finished so you could lay the opposite direction and look outside. You had a nice view of the water, though it was particularly dark outside and the moon was so bright it took your entire process. 
“I still can’t believe she knows.” Harry murmured, looking up from where his head rested on your chest.
“Who?” You whispered, missing the context of his comment, “My mum?” 
“Mmh.” he nodded, looking down to where your hands were joined and resting on your stomach. “It feels… good. I don’t know how to explain it, but it feels like we’re moving onto the next step.”
“I feel the same. I feel better knowing she’s supportive. I had a feeling she would be, but it’s nice knowing I’ve got her on my side when we tell my dad.”
“Mmh.” He hummed in agreement, looking at the string of pearls around your neck. You put them back on after the shower and he found himself mesmerised by the way they twinkled under the moon light. “y’know I told my mum I was seeing someone. After our weekend away.”
“You did?” you frowned slightly.
“I didn’t say anything too personal or anything because we were keeping it quiet.” He assured, sensing the slight panic in your voice. “But I wanted her to know I have someone in my life who makes me happy.” 
You smiled, that slight beat of worry completely gone. “What did you tell her about me?”
“Not much. Just your name and that you’re studying. I didn’t want to show her any photos without asking you. She gets a bit excited and I knew if I sent her something she’d tell everyone about it.” He rolled his eyes, but you could tell by his tone that he loved that quality about her. Pausing, he looked from the moon to you. “I think you’d like her.”
“She sounds like my type of gal.” You grinned, “I’m excited to meet her.” 
“I think she’d cry if you said that. Happy tears of course.” 
You laughed softly, swiping your fingers through his hair. It had dried down after the shower and your activities and became all fluffy and dishevelled. You loved it in its natural state.
“Would you like to meet her?” Harry asked suddenly, his voice soft so only you could hear it. There was no one in your apartment but you yet the moment was so intimate and quiet, he didn’t want to ruin it. “We could facetime?” He looked up at you, expression hopeful for your response. 
“Harry I’d love that.” 
“Really?” His eyes widened ever so slightly, like he was surprised you’d agree. “You would?”
“Of course I would.” You assured, smiling while dancing your fingers across his jaw. “Set it up. Whenever suits her.” 
“Okay.” He grinned, reaching up to kiss you quickly before settling back down on your chest to look out at the moon, “I will.”
It felt so right and natural to take this next step. There were nerves about it, of course, and you couldn’t lie and say you weren’t scared that Anne wouldn’t like you or that you’d make a fool out of yourself. But you knew a decent amount about her and even if you didn’t, you knew you’d love her simply based off the fact you loved Harry. That was enough.
