~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first time Y/n and Harry traveled to London with the intention of staying there for more than a week or two was something of a hectic one.
Because it wasn't just a trip. It was Christmas.
Up until now, they'd always gone their separate ways for the holidays to spend time with their families, but this year was different. Y/n was headed for England to spend Christmas with Harry and his family.
And so excited to share his life in England with his girlfriend, Harry packed the first few days with activity after activity. He took her all around London to see everything there was to see even though sheâd seen them alreadyâhe claimed that it was different now since she would be a temporary resident.
He took her shopping at all his favorite stores, which was mostly just him shopping and her watching, but sheâd become very good at it since they started dating; she even enjoyed how he would come out of a dressing room to show her a pair of pants or a shirt with beautiful embroidery on it and ask her what she thought. They went to a Christmas market, had a pretty intense gingerbread house contest that ended with frosting everywhere but where it should've been, they even decorated a tree together. A small one since they were going to be in Holmes Chapel for a majority of the trip, but it was still a special moment together.
His biggest plan for her though was a weekend trip to his hometown. To meet his family.Â
Now, sheâd met his immediate family beforeâGemma and Anne, his father, Des, his step siblings and a couple of his cousinsâbut the way Harry described the weekend, he made it sound like nearly everyone in Holmes Chapel was coming to his childhood home to meet her. Y/nâs eyes widened when Harry told her about the âlittle partyâ his mom had planned for them, feeling like every time he mentioned it, another ten people were coming.Â
It wasnât that she wasnât accustomed to big family parties, that was pretty much all she knew when it came to her family getting together. But that was her family. She knew her family and their quirks, knew what kind of food would be served at dinner and the kind of music that would play when the dancing began. She didnât really know anything about Harryâs family outside the people sheâd met, or his whole town, for that matter.
There was also a small, irrational fear the size of a pea in the back of Y/nâs mind, one that realized that she was a far cry from some of the women heâd dated in the past and perhaps brought home. It was never really something she thought about before, and if she wasnât about to meet every single person who had been a part of Harryâs childhood, she wouldnât. But she felt insecure for some reason, like she was suddenly aware of how short she was, the size of her waist, the way one of her front teeth was slightly on top of the other one, andâand had her boobs always been that small? She didnât want to, but late at night, the night before she and Harry were going to drive to Holmes Chapel, every teeny tiny insecurity sheâd ever had came bubbling to the surface. Even worse, she felt painfully aware of her tan skin, which had darkened a little from spending so much time at the beach before coming to London, of her name, which was unusual even in her own family. She thought back to how she stopped introducing herself by her full name in high school. Itâs what everyone at home called her anyway, but the first couple of times she tried it her first week, some people gave her funny looks, and teachers kept mispronouncing it, so she just made it easier on herself and everyone else.Â
It was silly, how she was feeling, but she couldnât close her eyes and fall asleep and forget about the tension in the pit of her stomach. Harry was not at all the kind of person she was worried about, and neither were his parents or sister, or any of the other family members of his that sheâd met. But it was like the later it got and she still hadnât fallen asleep, the more her thoughts continued to spiral, as they often did if something was bothering her. She thought about the stories sheâd heard growing up about her mom meeting her dadâs family for the first time, the questions they would ask her, the assumptions they had made because she was different.Â
Harry could tell something was up with Y/n the last day or so, but he didnât ask her what was wrong, trusting that she would come to him when she was ready. And while Y/n desperately wanted to confide in him, she felt like she couldnât, not this time. She didnât know how to tell her boyfriend that she was worried his family wouldnât like her because she feared they might be ignorant. Who wouldnât be offended by something like that?
Y/n squirmed in bed next to Harry, hoping that if she was tucked against his chest she might finally fall asleep. When ten minutes had passed and she still didnât feel the least bit tired, she wiggled around and faced away from him again, then five minutes later she moved onto her back to stare at the ceiling. When she made to move again, Harry sighed and slung an arm over her waist.
âOkay,â he mumbled, his voice still thick with sleep. âWhatâs wrong?â
He spoke against her neck, his lips moving against her skin. Y/n held onto the hand that was still draped across her middle, her thumb brushing across the back of it. âNothingâs wrong. Itâs just jetlag.â
âSee I would believe you,â Harry said, sounding more awake now. He moved so that he was leaning over her and pressed a kiss to her forehead. âBut seeing as you didnât sleep all day today, and the fact that watching me shop tires you out more than going for a run doesâwhich still baffles me by the wayâyou should be exhausted, but you are not.â
Y/n pursed her lips. Itâs not that she didnât want to tell him, itâs that she felt like she couldnât; she was too afraid that her feelings would hurt his own. âItâs nothing, honestly. Go back to sleep.â She kissed him and brushed a hand through his hair and turned onto her side, shutting her eyes tight.
It was silent for a moment, and she thought that Harry had let it go, opting to ask her about it in the morning. It was a rookie mistake on her part, she shouldâve known that Harry would never let her go to sleep now that he knew something was definitely up.
She heard him get off the bed and walk around to her side and sat down on the floor. Y/n didnât open her eyes, but she knew he was there, sitting and waiting for her to acknowledge him. When she finally did open her eyes, he gave her a close-lipped smile that was almost expectant. She closed her eyes again, pretending she hadnât seen him, even though they both knew she had. Opening them again, she bit back a yelp when she saw that Harry was practically nose to nose with her, still grinning, still waiting for her to talk to him.
She stuck her hand out and put it over his face to push him away, and she felt his grin widen against her palm. She took Harryâs face between her two hands and pushed his cheeks together. He let her gaze at him with his lips puckered out the way they were, his eyes tired but staying open for her sake. âSorry for being weird,â she whispered, her thumb brushing an eyelash off his cheek.
He gave her another sleepy smile. âItâs okay.â
She let out a small laugh. âI feel like youâre supposed to say, âNo, babe, youâre not weird. I love you so much.ââ
âOh, sorry. No, babe, youâre not weird. I love you so much.â
âShut up.â Y/n let go of Harryâs face and flipped over so she wasnât facing him anymore.Â
Harry laughed quietly and crawled back into bed so that he was cuddling Y/n into his chest. He kissed her neck and her jaw and her shoulder, his hands rubbing into her sides soothingly. âYou know,â he said, kissing her temple once, twice, three times. âIf youâre nervous about meeting everyone tomorrow, you can just say that.â
She wiggled around so that she was facing him. It felt weird to have him on this side of her, but she didnât say anything about it. âMaybe a little.â
âJust a little?â He asked, raising an eyebrow. âShould I remind you that I met your entire family after only a couple weeks of dating?â
She smiled at the memory of that very first weekend they spent together. Looking back now, she realized that in any other circumstance, inviting Harry over to her childhood home after only knowing each other for a few weeks seemed crazy. But at the time, she hadnât thought twice about it. Something about inviting Harry felt right.
âYeah, and you charmed the pants off of everyone. Myself included.â
Harryâs responding grin was both smug and a little sheepish. âI did, but I also got so shitfaced that I crawled around on the floor and you had to carry me up the stairs so I could sleep in your bedroom. Without you, I might add.â
âYeah, that wouldâve happened even if you werenât drunk off your ass. Iâm a lady, Harry.â
âMm, I donât know. I can be quite persuasive.â Harry took her hands in his and kissed her fingertips, then her palms. âIs that really it? Youâre just nervous about tomorrow? I know it feels like the whole town is throwing a parade for us or something, but itâs really not like that. And everyoneâs going to love you.â
A warmth starting at Y/nâs head spread all the way down to her toes at the sincerity in his voice, which then made her feel guilty for not being completely honest with him. Taking a deep breath, she leaned over and kissed him, moving her lips against his slowly, the same familiar butterflies erupting in her stomach the way they always did when she kissed him.
âItâItâs not that Iâm nervous about meeting everyone. I mean, I am, but thatâsâitâs not what you think. I mean, I know Iâm not exactly the kind of person you mightâve dated or brought home before.â Harry opened his mouth to contradict her, but she kept going. âAnd I donât normally care about that stuff, you know that, but I donât know, itâs like every time I look in a mirror, I notice things. And then thereâs this whole other thing, and I didnât even want to mention it because itâs ridiculous and I never want to hurt your feelings, or offend you or your family, but I couldnât helpâI⊠I feel like a crazy person, Harry, and I know I sound like one, butââ
âOkay, okay, take a deep breath,â Harry finally said. He knew that Y/n might be a little nervous about meeting everyone back home, for the first time, but he didnât know that it bothered her this much. Still, he did his best to keep his expression neutral. âNo secrets, okay? Not between us.â
It was an obvious thing to say, but it was almost like saying âI love you.â It was a reminder that there wasnât a single thing they needed to keep from each other, that no burden would be shouldered alone as long as they were together.Â
âNo secrets,â she repeated. She kissed him one more time, almost like she needed it for good luck. âIâm sorry, I donât know where all of this is coming from. Iâm proud of who I am and what I look like, I donât know why now all of a suddenâŠâ She paused and looked down at where her hands were still holding Harryâs.
âHolmes Chapel is filled with some of the nicest people in the world. The only reason someone might look at you funny is because theyâd be surprised someone as beautiful, and smart, and wonderful as you ended up with me.â
Y/n met his eyes, surprised that he knew exactly what sheâd been thinking. That was usually her thing. âYouâre not mad, are you?â
He wanted to tease her for thinking he would be mad at her about something like that, but seeing the troubled look on her face, he didnât, opting to press a gentle kiss to her forehead. âNo, my love, Iâm not.â
âReally? Because if you were, I would totally understand. And it has nothing to do with you, orâor your mom and Gemma or your dad. You know how my thoughts like to spiral out of control. And I was just thinking about this one instance with my mom and my great aunt Deborah, andââ Y/n paused, her eyebrows raised, a little confused. âThis is usually where you kiss me to shut me up.â
âI thought about it, but Iâm actually interested to hear about Great Aunt Deborah,â Harry admitted, smiling when he saw her grin. He understood why she was nervous now, and he was kicking himself for not realizing it sooner.Â
âTrust me when I say you donât want to know. Sheâs a thing of nightmares. Thereâs a reason no one talks about her,â Y/n said jokingly, but on the inside, she felt relieved that Harry seemed to get where she was coming from. And of course, he would, because he was Harry, and he loved her, and he always understood.
She wrapped her arms around him and held him close to her chest, whispering a small thank you to him. His skin was warm against her cheek, his heart beating steadily beneath. He felt like home when she held him like that. Harry hugged her back, threading his hands through her hair. Leaning down, he whispered, âIf someone so much as causes your brow to furrow, theyâre dead.â
Y/n laughed, leaning her head back slightly to look at him. âMy hero.â
Harry kissed the tip of her nose. âAlways.â She rolled her eyes at him, but she let him kiss her anyway. âI love you. Now go to sleep. Weâre supposed to get up early tomorrow.â
âOkay,â she nodded, but before she shut her eyes for the night, she asked him one last question. âSo no Great Aunt Deborahs?â
âNot a one.â Harry kissed her cheek. âI love you for who you are, and I will defend you against anyone who doesnât for the rest of my life. Count on that, okay?â
She rolled her eyes. âWell how the hell am I supposed to go to sleep now when you say stuff like that to me?â
Harryâs responding grin was sincere and a little smug. âIâm just telling you the truth.â
Scoffing playfully, she pushed Harry against the mattress and slid on top of him so that she was straddling his waist. Leaning over him, she kissed his neck, his chest, a straight line all the way down to the waistline of his sweatpants. Harryâs breaths picked up as she continued to kiss him, but before she could get too far, he pulled her back up. She kissed his lips, her hands reaching into his hair as she tugged on his bottom lip with her teeth. He groaned against her, his hands finding their way to the backs of her thighs as she nipped at his jaw and moved her own hands down to his waist again.
âHey, lovie,â Harry whispered into her neck. âAre you sure? We have to be up early tomorrow, and I know how much you hate not getting enough sleep.â
She paused, already halfway down his chest again. âIâm sure, but if youâd rather sleep, thenâŠâ She patted his cheek and began to move off of him, but before she had the chance, Harryâs hands were on her waist to keep her where she was.Â
âI never said that,â Harry said, already tugging her shirt over her head. He reached over to the nightstand by the bed to grab a condom. When he righted himself, he pointed a finger at her. âNo complaints when I wake you up, though. Promise?â
âPromise. SoâŠ?â
Harry huffed, pretending to be exasperated. In all honesty, he just saw the love of his life, looking down at him like he was the most precious thing in the world. He hooked a finger around the necklace she was wearing and pulled her forward so he could kiss her.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
âHey.â
There was no movement from the heap of blankets in the middle of the bed. Sighing, Harry nudged her shoulder, hoping it would be enough. It was not.
âY/n, my love. Itâs time to wake up.â
âNo, bubba,â she whined, her voice muffled by the pillow her face was pressed up against.Â
He tried to hide his grin and nudged her shoulder again. âYes. Come on, you can sleep on the way there.â
To his surprise, she did move, but it was only an arm and it was just to press her pointer finger on his nose, then his forehead. He let her poke his face a couple times before reaching for her hand and pulling it away from where it was pressing against his cheekbone. âWhat are you doing?â
âIâm looking for the snooze button,â Y/n mumbled. âI need at least five more minutes.â
Harry did laugh this time. âI gave you an hour. We were supposed to leave an hour agoâ
She peeked an eye open. âDid you really?â
He nodded. âYes, now letâs go. You promised, remember?â
âYeah, but that was past me. Sheâs an idiot. Present me is tired and sore, which is your fault, by the way.âÂ
Harry pretended to be offended. âYikes, youâre extra grouchy this morning.âÂ
He laid back down on the bed, and Y/n noticed that he was already dressed for the drive to Holmes Chapelâa pair of light wash jeans, one of her favorite sweatshirts of his with a coat over it, and a tiny clip, her clip, holding up his hair up in a small tuft on the top of his head. Stretching her arms out, she finally sat up. âIâm sorry, even if it is a little true.â
Y/n took the clip out of his hair and ran a hand through it. For a moment, he leaned into her touch, forever a sucker for when she did that. It was only a moment, though, and then he was sitting up again and pulling her with him. She groaned, but she let him do it anyway, finally okay with the idea of sleeping in the car. He kissed her cheek and told her he made breakfast, then left her to get ready.
It was December, which meant it was freezing outside, even more so for Y/n, who couldnât stand being cold. She changed into a pair of leggings and a thick sweater sheâd bought on one of Harryâs shopping sprees this week, figuring that something from London would be better at fending off the weather than anything she brought from home. Before she put on her shoes, she sat down on the bed, now made up, and looked up the weather in Holmes Chapel.Â
âYouâre kidding,â she groaned, falling back against the bed. A fresh layer of snow had fallen last night, and there was more to come later.
She eyed her little section of Harryâs closet- he promised her that when he had a chance, they would do some renovations to his house so it would be more like their house, but she told him there was no rushâeven though she had a feeling he was desperate to get his closet space back and wouldnât admit itâand saw a pair of jeans hanging up. Y/n stared at them for a while, debating, and when Harry called up to her and asked if she was almost ready, she grabbed them off the hanger and slid them on over her leggings. Getting into her coat and slipping her phone into her pocket, she jogged down the stairs and followed the smell of food all the way to the kitchen. Harry was waiting for her with a plate of eggs, toast, sliced fruit, and a glass of orange juice at his kitchen table. She had yet to try the English specialty of beans on toast, but that wasnât for lack of trying on Harryâs part. Y/n just couldnât make herself try it yet, the idea completely bizarre and not very appetizing to her.
She tried to eat her breakfast as quickly as she could so that they could get on the road. Now that she was more awake, she felt bad that she slept in way past when they were supposed to leave. As she ate, Y/n scrolled through her phone, answering texts from family members and smiling a little at the pictures of her family around a Christmas tree. She was happy to be here with Harry, but she missed her family too, especially during the holidays.
Setting her phone down, Y/n looked up, ready to tell Harry she was ready to go. She figured he had been on his own phone while she ate, doing more of the same of what sheâd been doing, but he was just sitting quietly with his chin resting in his hand, staring at her. She refrained from rolling her eyes, having grown used to Harryâs tendency to stare while she did virtually nothing. Most times she was convinced that Harry didnât even realize he was doing it.
âMy cousin has a girlfriend,â she said, not addressing the fact that sheâd caught him staring at her.
Harry blinked, coming out of his daze. âReally? Who's he dating?â
âIâm not entirely sure, heâs being very close lipped about it. Iâm gonna try to call him later and see if heâs willing to say more if itâs just me asking instead of the entire family.â
âIs that how it was with me?â
Y/n grinned as she recalled what it had been like when her siblings found out she was seeing Harry. âWouldn't you like to know.â
âI would actually,â Harry said, standing up from the table.
Tugging on his hand, she brought him to her lap and kissed his cheek. âIf you must know, yes, it was like I was being interrogated over text. Someone had seen an article that had pictures of us holding hands, and they happily shared it with the rest of my family, and then suddenly I was getting calls from family members I rarely speak to on the phone.â
Harry hummed at what Y/n had said and how her hands reached under his clothes to rub circles against his stomach. He remembered how nervous heâd been to go out with her in public places. Not because he was embarrassed to be seen with her, but because he knew that no matter how hard he would try to be discreet, someone would manage to get a picture of them.
Y/n, of course, didnât mind as much as Harry did, taking the challenges of dating someone with a large following in stride. She held his hand and rubbed it soothingly with her thumb if she felt him start to get tense, and distracted him when he started to notice people pointing phones or cameras in their direction. If he was honest with himself, it was one of things that endeared him to her more than he already was. Y/n was handling a part of his life that sometimes was more than someone could bear, and never did she once hold it against him.
He kissed her then. It was at an odd angle because he was sitting in her lap but it still gave him the same headrush he always got when their lips met. When he pulled back, he rested his forehead against hers, a faint smile on his face. âI called my mum after we first met, you know.â
Luz raised an eyebrow at him. âYou did?â
Harry nodded, kissing the top of her cheekbone. âMmhm. I just knew you were someone special . And later that week I got a call from Gem asking about you and saying our hometown was buzzing with the news that I had met someone.â
âI feel like youâre trying to calm my nerves, but youâve done the opposite,â Y/n tried to joke. After last night, she was feeling a little better about the prospect of meeting all of Harryâs closest friends and family, but now her worries and doubts were starting to creep back in.
He cupped her cheek in his hand. âWhat Iâm trying to say is that everyone already loves you. You make me happy, thatâs all theyâll care about.â
Y/n couldnât help the smile that erupted on her face. She let Harry stand up and pull her to her feet. They quickly cleaned up the kitchen together, realizing that they were super late now. By the time all the dishes were put away, overnight bags were stowed in the car, and they were settled in the driver and passenger seats, Y/n found that she wasnât tired or nervous anymore. She was just excited to meet the people who helped make her boyfriend the wonderful person that he was.
***
Harry was wandering his motherâs house in search of his girlfriend.
For the first two hours, Y/n had remained so close to his side, he thought sheâd glued herself to him. It was an interesting sight to see. In the time that Harry had known her, Y/n had been nothing but outgoing and talkative, making friends with bartenders, Uber drivers, his fans, people she passed by on the street. She always found common ground with people.
But tonight she almost hid behind Harry, letting him do the talking while she quietly listened with her hand tightly gripping his as she was introduced to person after person.
It was when she disappeared into the bathroom that Harry lost track of her. He was waiting patiently outside the door as she had requested when his mother came up to him and dragged him to one of her friends that she claimed he hadnât seen in ages and just had to say hello. He got caught up in answering all sorts of questions from was he working on new music to when he planned on marrying Y/n. He blushed at that one, and used it as an excuse to leave to go find her.
Except he couldnât find her. Harry checked and double checked every room in the house, and unless his girlfriend was hiding in a cupboard, he was pretty sure she wasnât in the house. He moved to searching the backyard, thinking maybe someone had pulled her outside.Â
Y/n was nowhere to be found in the little backyard, but when he spotted his sister, he walked over, hoping she might know where his elusive girlfriend was.
âHey, little brother,â Gemma said, waving Harry over to where she was talking to a few of her friends from school.
He waved and gave everyone a small smile. âHi. Have you seenââ
âY/n? Yeah, sheâs rightâOh, thatâs weird, I swear she was talking to Patrick a minute ago about his hip replacement surgery, and then before that to Lisa about where she grew up, I think, and thenââ
âShe shouldnât be overwhelmed like that, Gem, sheâs supposed to be having fun,â Harry sighed. He was glad sheâd come out of her shell with the members of his family, but he feel didnât want his girlfriend too feel like she was under a microscope, either.
âOh, relax, Harry. Did you honestly expect to have a girlfriend thatâs from America and there not be questions? And itâs not like people are bombarding her. She offered to teach me a little Spanish while you and Mum were out at the store earlier.â
Harry sighed again. He supposed his sister had a point, he just didnât want people to overwhelm her or only talk to her about where she came from. There was so much more to Y/n than that.
âRelax, Harry. Everyone loves her,â Gemma said, reading the look on his face despite the dim lighting outside. âSo have a drink, and try not to think so little of the people youâve known your whole life, yeah?â
âThatâs notâYeah, alright, fine. Sorry, for being so tense, I just want things to go perfectly. For her.â
âAnd they have. So take a breath and let yourself enjoy tonight.â
Harry leaned down and kissed the top of Gemmaâs head. âThanks, Gem.â
âYeah, yeah. Go on and find your bird. And fill my glass while youâre inside, will you?â
He rolled his eyes, but took the wineglass out from her hand anyway. He left his sister and her friends behind and went back into the house. Heâd checked every room already, but Y/n mustâve sneaked past him at some point. He walked slowly to the kitchen where the open bottles of wine were, craning his neck around in the hopes of catching sight of a familiar head of hair in a thick knit sweater.
It was when he passed by the slightly cracked open door of the bathroom that he heard her voice.
ââbrother pushed me off a swing and I needed four stitches right here. And here, I was playing outside and busted my knee open. Six more stitches. And then when I was playing football, I slid and had a huge scratch on my bum for weeks. Can you believe that?â
Y/nâs words were followed by a fit of giggles at the mention of her scratching her âbum.â It was weird to hear her say that, but when he heard a young boyâs voice, he understood.
âNo you didnât!â
âIt really happened, I promise,â she insisted. Harry had quietly pushed the door farther open while she and the boy, his little cousin Joshua, Harry realized, were talking, so he could see that she was tending to a cut on his knee. âAnd you know what? You canât even see the scar anymore. So I think youâre gonna be just fine.â
Joshuaâs jeans were rolled up past his knee on one side, a large band-aid covering what must have been a scrape. There was peroxide and little scrunched up cotton pads on the bathroom counter; clearly Y/n had taken Joshua to get cleaned up from some kind of fall.
âAnd if it still hurts, I think if you pout enough your cousin Harry might carry you around the rest of the night. How does that sound?â
She turned her head and winked at Harry. He didnât know when sheâd noticed him, from what he could tell she hadnât looked at him until now. Sheâd put her hair up into a ponytail so it was out of her face while she worked, the sleeves of her sweater rolled up past her elbows.
âHm, Iâm okay,â Joshua said, directing both Y/n and Harryâs attention back to him. His eyes were a little red and his lashes stuck together like heâd just been crying. Harry understood then that he mustâve taken a pretty bad fall.
âWell, if you change your mindâŠâ she said, her voice trailing off. She lifted Joshua off the counter where heâd been sitting and set him down on the floor. Before he left, Y/n pulled his pant leg back down and gave him a fist bump. Joshua ran off down the hallway, saying hello to Harry as he went.
Harry leaned against the bathroom door, watching as Y/n began to clean up the counter. Of course she would be helping one of his cousins with a cut up knee. She might have been nervous about meeting everyone tonight, but Y/n loved helping people and talking about her family. He shouldâve known that talking about her job was one of the only things that would calm her nerves.
âI heard youâve become quite the social butterfly,â he said while she washed her hands.
Y/n took a moment to answer while she dried her hands on a fluffy grey towel. When she turned around her cheeks were a little pink. âYeah, sorry, is that weird? I was so nervous before, but it all just kind of melted away.â
Harry smiled at her. âNo, babe, youâre not weird. I love you so much.â
âShut up,â she laughed, punching him lightly on the shoulder. Reaching for his hand, Y/n played with the ring on his middle finger. âI donât know, it felt easier to talk to people by just talking about my family instead of myself. After you abandoned me that is.â
âSorry about that. My mum said there was a friend of hers I had to say hello too. Iâve been looking for you ever since.â
She rolled her eyes and wrapped her arms around Harryâs neck. âWhy do you always do that?â
He looked at her curiously. Y/n sounded annoyed, but amused at the same time. And yet her arms were around his neck and her hands were playing with his hair. He loved Y/n and he loved being in love, but sometimes his girlfriend was hard to read. âWhat?â
âI try to playfully make fun of you, and you turn it into a loving moment. It throws me off sometimes. I canât decide whether to hit you or kiss you.â
âWellâŠI can tell you which one I would prefer,â Harry said. He didnât know what the problem was; all he ever wanted was to make her smile.
Y/n hummed and went up on her tiptoes so she could kiss him. Not caring at all that they were surrounded by his family or that the door to the bathroom was wide open, Harry kissed her back, setting the wine glass down on the counter behind her so he could hold her with both of his hands.
He couldnât get enough of her. It was like every time he kissed her was like the last and he had to savor every touch of their lips and brush of his tongue against hers. She whined against his mouth as his hands creeped under her sweater, his hands cold from being outside. They continued roaming anyway as they kissed, eventually finding purchase on the backs of her legs so he could prop her up on the bathroom counter.
âHarry, what are you doing?â
She felt like a teenager as he settled between her legs and held his face in her hands. The fact that anyone could see them like this at any moment was painfully obvious to Y/n, but she made no move to slip off the counter.
âYou took care of Josh, but what about me?â he said. âWhat if I had an injury that needed your special attention?â
Resisting the urge to roll her eyes because she knew there was nothing wrong with him, she asked, âSorry. Is there anything wrong with you?â
âYeah, I have some pain right here,â he said pointing to a spot on the base of his throat. The same spot that also made Harryâs breath hitch when Y/n kissed it.
Understanding what he meant, she leaned forward and placed her lips against his skin. âThat should do it. Anywhere else?â
They spent the next few minutes like that, Harry pointing to areas around his face and neck that needed tending to while Y/n kissed the âpainâ away. At one point, Harry glanced down where his belt was looped around his jeans, an inquisitive look on his face. âAbsolutely not,â she said immediately, blushing furiously. With one last kiss to the corner of his mouth before she hopped off the counter, she whispered, âAt least not right now.â
Harry knew he hadnât seen his family in ages, and he wanted to catch up with everyone at his mumâs house, but he suddenly wished they were back at his flat in London where no one would bother them.
âWe should get back out there,â Y/n said quietly. She knew they should, but she liked when it was just her and Harry, too.
âI know,â he sighed, moving a strand of hair away from her face. âOne last kiss?â
She obliged, fixing his hair clip when they finally pulled apart, having taken it out of his hair when heâd lifted her up on the bathroom counter. With one last kiss to her cheek, Harry took her by the hand and led her back to the party.
As they shuffled out of the bathroom, a woman crossed their path. She raised her eyebrows at the pair, but didnât say a word as she moved down the hallway. Y/n pressed her face into Harryâs side. She didnât know who that woman was, but she didnât care. They couldnât have looked more guilty as they walked out of the bathroom, who knew what that woman thought or what she would say to the other people in the house.
âRemember the embarrassment you felt after waking up and facing my parents after you made an absolute fool out of yourself that one time you accidentally texted my dad a message meant for me? Thatâs how I feel right now.âÂ
Harry blanched as they walked towards the kitchen. He still had to refill his sisterâs wine glass. âWait, I thought you said he never read it?â
âI didnât want you to feel bad around my parents,â Y/n said, blushing at the memory. She swung their joined hands back and forth. âAnd you quickly won them over with your charm and goofiness, anyway. I didn't see the point in telling you.
âGoofiness?â he asked, his mind snagging on the word.
âYes,â Y/n agreed. âOne of the things I love about you is how well you balance the two.â
âMe too. Though my life is much more entertaining when he acts more goofy than charming,â Gemma said. She was sitting at the kitchen table with a couple people that looked her age.
There was a low buzz of assent coming from the table, and Y/n didnât even have to look at Harry to know he was blushing. She thought if he could hide behind her and avoid the light teasing from his older sister, he would. Y/n thought it was cute how bashful Harry had become; heâd hardly blinked when they got caught coming out of the bathroom together, but here he was, his neck and face flushed as he shuffled behind her the tiniest bit. Y/n was used to every kind of sibling teasing in the book, so she felt right at home with Gemma, but it was clear Harry wasnât as comfortable about it. At least when it was happening in front of his girlfriend.
She squeezed his hand comfortingly and took the glass out of Harryâs other one. âI think youâre very charming. And sexy. You can blush about that instead, okay?â She kissed his cheek and let go of his hand, finding that he was grinning like an idiot at her. âWhat were you having, Gemma? Red or white?â
âUh, red. Thanks, Y/n,â Gemma said, raising her eyebrows at her brother.
When Y/n was far enough away, one of the guys at the table leaned forward as Harry sat down. âSheâs great, H.â
Harry tried to hide his smile with his hand. âYeah. SheâsâSheâs, uh, sheâs everything.â He hadnât meant to say that, it was a rather embarrassing thing to say in front of his sister and her friends, but that didnât make it any less true.
âCan you believe it? My baby brother, settled down and in love,â Gemma sighed. Harry was about to tell his sister to shut up when Y/n came back with two glasses of wine.
She handed one to Gemma and one to Harry before perching herself on his lap. âI am kind of great,â she mused, patting her boyfriend on the knee. âAnd smart. Iâm really smart.â
âShe is,â Harry nodded, kissing her shoulder.
âThatâs brilliant!â One of the girls sitting down at the table said suddenly. Everyone turned to look at her curiously, not sure where the outburst came from. She blushed and hid behind her drink for a moment before collecting herself. âSorry, sorry. Itâs just that Gem and I go to a bar in London and they have these trivia nights on Thursdays, and I just thought-â
âOh, Emma, youâre a bloody genius, of course!â Gemma said, her eyes lighting up. âY/n, weâve been looking for a third member to join our trivia team for weeks, and you would be perfect.â
âI like trivia,â Y/n said, her thumb rubbing back and forth over Harryâs hand affectionately. She had been nervous about her semi-move to England. Excited, but nervous. It would involve a lot of downtime in a place she wasnât familiar with and where the only person she knew was Harry, but making some friends of her own while her boyfriend had to work was the exact thing she needed. And she knew Gemma already. Y/n didnât know her friends very well, but she could start with trivia nights on Thursdays and go from there.
âYou sure, lovie?â Harry asked. He didnât want his sister or her friends to overwhelm her.Â
âSheâll be fine, H. Weâll take good care of her,â the girl, Emma, insisted.Â
Y/n wouldâve been worried about hanging out with them if she didnât know Harry, and Gemma, for that matter. If she wanted to have a life here, she needed people. She loved spending all her time with Harry, but she knew that they wouldnât be spending every waking moment together. In fact, she was perfectly aware of the fact that he was putting things off to help her get settled in his London flat. Having friends of her own would ease her mind and his, make him not worry about her constantly when he wasnât around.
The rest of the night, Harry sat back and watched as Y/n made new friends with his old ones. He remained relatively quiet, content to relax in his childhood home with his girlfriend in his lap and playing with her hair. The sound of her voice as she talked to his sister and all their friends felt like home too, her laugh alone making him smile against her shoulder. He loved how outgoing she was, how much everyone seemed to be as drawn to her as he was. If he didnât have to be, Harry preferred being on the quiet side and listening more than doing all the talking himself. He liked to leave the extroverted side of him for his performances, crawling back into his shell once he was off the stage.
Y/n was the exact opposite. Anywhere they went, she made friends or started conversations with strangers, commenting on tattoos she liked or asking someone where they got their shoes. But whenever she went to one of Harryâs concerts, she became totally shy, blushing furiously or hiding behind whoever she was with if he winked at her or tried to talk to her from the stage.
Harry knew she had been nervous about coming here and meeting his family, but there was no trace of nerves now. She leaned comfortably against his chest and fiddled with the rings on his fingers the way she usually did when they held hands, talking animatedly about her job, her family, and anything else that Gemma and her friends threw her way.
However, the longer Y/n spoke and laughed and got to know his friends and family, the more Harry wanted her to himself. He loved how much the most important people in his life were all getting along, but by the time the night was winding down and it was time to head up to his childhood bedroom, he was itching to kiss her, to touch her, to be truly alone with her after sharing her with his family for the last few hours.
âYouâre so needy tonight,â she joked. Sheâd been drying off her face when he came up behind her and began nuzzling her neck. Needy or not, she raised her hand and threaded it through his hair, feeling him smile against her neck.
âWanted to make sure you were extra comfortable tonight,â he mumbled, twisting her around and propping her up on the bathroom counter. He did that a lotâsitting Y/n up on countertops and all sorts of surfaces so that they were more level with each other.Â
Of the two of them, Y/n tended to be more quiet about her feelings for Harry. He liked to kiss her cheek while they were out, and play with the ends of her hair, and pull her into his lap in front of groups of people, while she was content to hold his hand and save her affection for when they were alone, the only time she did more was when she saw someone flirting with Harry in front of her or if she was completely comfortable in her surrounding. But now that they were alone, she wrapped her arms around Harryâs neck and pulled him in for a kiss.
Harry grinned against her and kissed her back, cupping either side of her face and rubbing gentle circles into her skin with his thumbs. âI had a really nice time tonight. Your familyâs wonderful.â
âI tried to tell you,â Harry murmured, kissing along her neck and jaw. âMaybe you should listen to me more.â
âHa!â Y/n didnât mean to sound so incredulous, but she prided herself on being right, and while she could admit to perhaps overthinking how tonight would go, she would continue to go with their usual dynamicâHarry listening to her.
Pulling back, Harry rolled his eyes and helped Y/n down from the counter. Holding hands, he led her to his room. It was almost exactly the same as when heâd left so many years ago. Posters were peeling off the walls, old trophies and ribbons had a thin layer of dust on them. The only thing that was different was his bed, which his mum had gotten new bedclothes for a couple of years ago.
âOoh, am I the first girl youâve ever brought up here?â she teased as she looked around the room.Â
âUm, Iâm not going to answer that,â Harry replied, blushing a little. She wasnât, but she was the one that mattered the most to him.
Y/n grinned as she unbuttoned her jeans so she could change into her pajamas. âRelax, Iâm just kidding. Your mum told me all about your girlfriends at school.â
âOf course she did. Iâm surprised Gemma didnâtâWait, what on earth are you wearing?â
All night, Harry had watched his girlfriend walk around in a pair of jeans, but he never wouldâve thought sheâd be wearing two pairs of pants, which was what he realized now as she shimmied out of her jeans but was still completely clothed.
âI didnât want to be cold,â she shrugged, trying to move on before Harry had the chance to tease her.
âNo no. Weâre not moving on from this. You seriously wore two pairs of trousers tonight?â
Y/n huffed and rested her hands on her fully clothed hips. âCome on, are you really that surprised?â
Harry chuckled and shook his head, both in disbelief and to agree with her. He did know how much she hated being cold, but he never thought she would layer her clothes like this. It wasnât even that cold tonight.
âIâm worried about how youâre going to handle the actual cold days,â he said, slipping out of his own jeans and getting into bed. He didnât sleep here very often anymore, and the fact that he was going to do so with the woman he was quite sure was the love of his life was a little odd.
Y/n didnât seem to have the same thoughts as she quickly slipped off her leggings and got into her pajamas. Harry opened up the covers for her once he saw that she was ready, and she practically flopped onto the bed, latching onto him like a magnet.
He was always cozy and warm, but it felt different during the holidays for some reason. There was a giddiness that came with spending a holiday together as a young couple. They built snowmen and ice skated and drank hot chocolate, but now it was time to sleep under the warm glow of twinkly lights Harryâs mom hung up in his room, and it was absolutely perfect.
âIâm going to shrivel up into a husk of the person I once was, but I will have done it for love,â she told him, giving his chest a quick little peck.
Laughing, Harry pulled her impossibly closer and pressed a kiss to her cheek. âI will do everything in my power to keep you warm.â
âIâm sure you will,â Y/n replied, understanding what he meant. âBut not tonight.â
âWhy?â Harry whined, jutting out his bottom lip a little. He knew what she was going to say before she said it, but that didnât make him any less disappointed about it.
âYour mom is down the hall, and youâre not exactly quiet,â she said, grinning a little at his blush and the way he mumbled, youâre not either. âSo weâre in agreement. Also, thereâs a picture of One Direction over there, and I donât know how I feel about a young you or any of your band mates staring at me like that.â
Before he fell asleep, Harry stared at the ceiling, thinking about how much had happened since heâd properly moved out of his mumâs house so long ago. Never in a million years did he ever think heâd be in the same bed he slept in at sixteen with the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. As he slowly drifted off to sleep, Y/nâs foot lightly kicking him in the shin as she slept, Harry couldnât imagine that there was anyone on this planet who was as lucky as he was.
She had a point there. While he was away, his mum liked to put up pictures of him to make it feel like he was there. Sighing, Harry settled for cuddling his girlfriend and kissing her until their eyes closed, Y/nâs head resting comfortably on his chest.

Hover car smit? đ„ș
Please accept this very mediocre plot-less story. Wrote this straight through, did not re-read it. Hope it's acceptable.
Happy Smutember.
Everything below the cut is 18+ explicit, nsfw, mature, whatever you wanna call it.
-------------
The sand was getting in his flip-flops.
With every step across the beach, the hot grit was getting under his heels and between his toes, with the occasional twig or broken shell digging into his sensitive skin and causing him to curse.
"Whoa, that's a harsh one from you Dr. D.," Shego said.
Drakken could hear the smirk in her voice as she followed after him. True, the words he was mumbling were more intense than his usual 'doodles' but given the circumstances he felt they were warranted.
"Why did we even come to this party," he grumbled as he stalked toward where they'd parked the hovercar.
"Because you wanted to humiliate Dementor."
Drakken stopped and whirled around, his hands on his hips. It would have been a menacing pose if not for the Snowman Hank swim trunks he was wearing and the slight paunch of his belly hanging over the waistband as he leaned forward.
"You knew this would happen, didn't you. And you still made us come!"
"You made me sit through that five hour lecture at MIST."
"You were supposed to be there to watch me heckle James Possible!"
"And then he didn't show."
"Hmph," Drakken grumped, turning around to continue the trek to the parking lot. "You'd think he'd have more respect for someone who saved the world."
"You need to relax Dr. D. So going to Dementor's retirement party was a bad ideaâŠ"
They reached the hovercar and Drakken grumbled as he kicked his flip-flops off onto the floorboards. The tips of his ears were flushed purple with his annoyance and his eyes were dark with rage. Shego suppressed a giggle.
She climbed in the passenger seat next to him as he started the ignition, butâŠnothing happened.
"Oh, great! The engine is overheated!" Drakken groused, throwing his hands up.
Shego bit her lip as she got a devious idea.
"Well, since we're not going anywhere, how about I help you relax?" she said, sidling closer.
"What� Shego, no! Not here!"
Drakken's eyes had widened and his hands were batting at hers as she pulled at the waistband of his swim trunks. When he grabbed her wrist to stop her she lifted her hand and ignited it in threat. He continued grumbling and crossed his arms, looking around nervously as she slid down to sit on the floor of the passenger seat and rested her arm across his lap so she could get her face closer.
"Someone's going to see this," Drakken said nervously.
"Just put on your sunglasses and relax. Anyone who comes by will think you're taking a nap."
"In ninety-six degree heat!? OnhâŠ"
His thoughts were arrested as Shego's lips made contact. This heat was entirely different on his soft skin, and after a few moments of anxiously glancing around he reached down to pull his trunks lower. He did put his sunglasses on, and then set to watch her furtively, setting one hand gently at the back of her head and weaving his fingers into her hair. It was damp, yet hot from the sun, and he fidgeted nervously with the strands as she began to sweep his mind away with her touch.
Her lips were like velvet on his skin as she placed tiny, suckling kisses along the blue length right down to his lavender tip. He could feel the rush of blood in moments, and it nearly doubled when she glanced up to give him a wicked look before she plopped his tip into her mouth.
"MmmhâŠ" she hummed deliriously, the same way she did when sucking on a strawberry. She knew exactly what it did to him, and his fingers tightened in her hair and on the side of the hovercar as she began sliding her mouth slowly down and up again, her teeth lightly grazing his sensitive flesh and her tongue pressing against him with precise pressure.
He kept glancing down at the rhythm of her face, mesmerized by the hot, soft sensations as his member vanished inside of her mouth, but his gaze was still drawn out to the beach beyond the parking lot. Casual beach goers were out of earshot by the water's edge, and further down he could just see the stage where Dementor was hosting his retirement party.
Drakken shook that thought away. He was not going to have Dementor anywhere near his mind whileâŠthis was going on. But it would still be good to keep one eye on the parking lot.
Suddenly Shego's lips left him.
"You gonna help me relax too or is this all about you?"
"Ngh⊠What do you want?"
Shego smirked. "You."
Drakken flushed. He needed to get a little harder first. But, a way to discreetly please her quickly occurred to him.
With a slight shudder he let the vine out of his back, and the strange mutation that seemed to act on his subconscious began wrapping itself around her waist. Shego's smirk faded slightly, but then she reached down and stroked the petals of the pink flower that was snaking up to her chest. It sent a shiver across Drakken's nervous system as she continued doing that, looking at him with eyes that simply screamed sex.
"You like that? Maybe you should let him out to play more often."
"JustâŠdon't waste time. Someone could come by."
Shego chuckled and returned her lips to his twitching member. The flower had wandered up to Shego's neck and somehow, undid the tie of her bikini top. The green and black fabric fell away and Drakken watched curiously as the vine wound its way around the soft globe of one of her breasts, the pink petals seeming to rub at her nipple. His hand found the soft flesh of the other and he began kneading.
The moan that Shego responded with was slightly choked by his growing arousal inside her mouth. Their surroundings forgotten, he watched as her legs gradually began to tremble in pleasured response to his touch, and he wanted to give her more.
"Come here," he demanded. Her lips left him with a pop, and he watched her grin as the hard length bobbed back and forth until falling heavily to his stomach, glistening from her attentions.
"I should tie my suit back up," Shego said shakily, reaching for the strings, "in case anyone walks by they'll think I'm just sitting on your lap."
"No one would think that," Drakken said with a slight growl as he pulled her toward him impatiently.
Nevertheless she tied her top back up before moving to sit in his lap, facing the beach. She shifted back and rubbed her rear against his rod with a delighted chuckle, and Drakken growled again as she leaned back fully into his chest, preventing further action.
"We don't have all day!" he protested.
She chuckled again as she shifted up just enough to reach beneath her thighs and grab hold of him, guiding him up past her swimsuit briefs and into the petals of warmth that awaited him.
"Hnngh!" he groaned, his entire body tensing as he filled her. Shego for her part was gasping for breath, leaning against him again as she had taken every inch all at once. The vine, not to be left out, was coiled around Shego's waist and the flower was snaking between her legs. After a moment she responded instinctively, spreading them apart and giving the flower access. It began massaging her peak, and she bit her lip as a hiss escaped her lips.
"Like I said," Drakken breathed, "no one is going to think you're sitting in my lap."
Giving up on any sense of decorum, he wrapped his arms around her and covered her breasts with his hands, beginning to squeeze as she rolled and rocked her hips almost erratically in attempt to bring him in deeper.
Then she braced her hands against his knees to lift herself up just enough, and they both moaned in unison when she dropped herself back down heavily upon his sword.
"ThisâŠis a much better party," Shego gasped.
Drakken laughed huskily as his fingers rubbed back and forth over her clothed nipples, pinching lightly as she started them into an erotic rhythm.
A dirty word slipped from Drakken's lips, and Shego leaned her head back next to his and reaching up to grip his shoulders. Sweat was dripping down her temple, and when her lips found his she tasted of ocean salt.
"SomeoneâŠ" he murmured into her lips between kisses, "is going to see us."
"You still care?" Shego asked.
Drakken's answer was only to grip her breasts possessively, causing her to moan and arch her back against his chest as she rode him heavily.
"I hope Dementor walks by."
"Really?" Shego gasped out.
"He never accomplished anything close to this in his career."
Shego laughed breathlessly, and Drakken kissed her again.
"Turn around," he said.
"That will just be more obvious," Shego said with a grin, already moving to comply.
Drakken shifted on the hovercar's seat to give her legs more space as she knelt over him. His swim trunks at his ankles now, and he nimbly untied her bikini top once more, a thrill running through him as it fell and her soft, green breasts were presented to him.
The vine was still snaking around Shego's waist, but Drakken gave it a light flick with his finger as his arms circled around her.
"That's enough from you," he scolded it, and it slowly slithered away back inside his body, a strange electricity racing over his nerve endings as it vanished.
This time it was he to grip the base of his arousal, pushing it past Shego's bikini bottoms as she pressed forward. It felt like he belonged there, buried deeply within her, and he leaned down to nip softly at her breasts in turn as she began pressing her hips against him, rubbing the peak of her arousal back and forth against his pubic bone.
He licked and suckled one nipple, his eyes on her face as she arched her back again and bit her lip to withhold the screams he knew she wanted to release.
"DrakkenâŠ" she managed as she ground her hips against his. It felt so good being engulfed by her, a belonging he couldn't find any other way.
He knew she was close as she suddenly fell forward into him, her hips rocking feverishly and her breasts pressing into his chest. He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheek as she rode herself closer and closer. And that knowledge of her pleasure with him was driving him quickly to his own end.
He hadn't realized he had closed his eyes, but then he opened them with some sudden instinct and saw at the edge of the parking lot none other than Dementor, frozen in place and jaw hanging open, ice chest on the ground where he must have dropped it.
"DrakkenâŠDrakkenâŠ" Shego was gasping louder.
"Oh yesâŠsay my name," he said, grinning evilly. He shifted on the hovercar's seat and grabbed her hips, drilling upward in time with her rhythm.
"Drakken!" she screamed, her fingernails digging into his back as she came undone atop him, squirming in her release while he didn't relent, determined to make her pleasure last.
He was thankful for the curtain of her hair that gave them some modesty, but it certainly couldn't disguise what was happening to any other eyes that may be watching. At the edge of the parking lot Drakken could see Dementor still utterly dumbstruck, his expression shocked and clearly the face of someone who hadn't gotten what Drakken was getting in a long time.
Drakken chuckled evilly and lifted one hand to flip Dementor the bird before he moved again, quickly but carefully lying Shego down on the hovercar's bench seat. His one-time rival in evil had had more than enough of a show, and definitely more than he deserved.
Shego was still reeling and breathless from her high, but Drakken wasn't done. She lifted legs and hooked her heels behind Drakken's back as he pumped into her deeply, his rhythm steady and strong.
The vine, seemingly acting on his subconscious once again, slipped out to press a button on the hovercar's control panel, activating the dome cover to finally hide them away from prying eyes. And then it moved to encircle Shego's wrists and bring them up above her head. She blinked up at him in surprise, but not with any protest, and he braced himself against the seat so he could reach up to entwine his fingers with hers.
As she regained her wits, her expression became devious again as they locked eyes, communication unspoken as she seemingly dared him onward. Her breasts were bouncing deliciously below him, the sight of them, the sight of Shego making his blood race. His thrusts increased in speed, and when he felt his release near the vine let go instinctively. Shego's hands moved to his rear and gripped the strong muscles tightly, pulling him deeper as he felt the white hot pleasure explode at his every nerve ending. He was aware of the heat, of the twitching, and of his weight falling to cover hers⊠Of a pleasure that seemed to melt his very being centering at their union.
His breaths came slow and heavy, and gradually he became aware of Shego's fingers in his hair while her other hand massaged the back of his thigh. Buried within her always seemed the most right place to be, and he was in no hurry to leave her.
"Thank you, DumplingâŠ" he finally said with a sigh. "You were rightâŠI needed to relax."
He finally began to shift up, but Shego set a hand on his cheek and guided his lips to hers. When he pulled away from the silken touch her eyes held mischief.
"Oh, but I'm not done relaxing."
A grin spread across Drakken's face.
"âŠSince the hovercar isn't working, maybe we shouldâŠborrow Dementor's vehicle."
Shego laughed. "You're very evil for a world hero."
