"Sick ink!" I showed Harry my new tatt in the japanese fast food restaurant. I just got a butterfly on my hip but I loved it. We got some food and sat inside eating and talking. We'd gone to the market, the street food huts and now we were eating japanese food.
"I love it. And honestly...the pain wasn't as bad as I thought" I replied before i sipped my coke.
"Would you do it again?" He asked.
"Definitely. Maybe a bit later though"

We finished eating and headed back to my house. Of course, I held Harrys hand everytime we got on and off the tubes which he felt embrasses about but I assured him it was okay and nobody noticed. But we didn't stop holding hands till we got back to my place.
"Oh uh sorry" he said awkwardly, noticing our hands.
"It's okay" i replied, letting go of him and unlocking the door.

"What did you even buy?" He asked me as we sat on the sofa.
"You were with me!" I replied.
"I know but I was too busy admiring you" he joked.
"Oh of course you were" we both laughed.

"You're pretty great Harry" i smiled at him.
"Thanks...you're pretty great too"
"I know right?" We both giggled.
"But thanks for...y'know. Being there for me. I'm not really open about my fears and stuff"
"It's okay, you can tell me anything"
"One day, we should just...order McDonalds. And sit down and talk about everything"
"Define 'everything' Harry"
"Our biggest fears. Life changing events"
"Sounds like a plan" i looked at my bags. "Wanna help me put everything away?"
"Sure"

Harry hadn't seen my bedroom before and when he did his jaw dropped

Harry hadn't seen my bedroom before and when he did his jaw dropped.
"Wow" he said.
"You like?" I asked.
"Your bedroom is ethereal" He replied.
"Thanks. Here, I'll play some music" i went to my record player and put a Gorillaz vinyl in.
"What song is this? I like it" Harry asked.
"Rhinestone Eyes" i replied as I gave him some hangers. He was going to hang up my thrifted clothes whilst I put away all the random bits and bobs.

"Hey Harry, you wanna dance?" i asked.
"Sure" he extended his hand and i slipped mine into it before he pulled me closer to him.

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
When the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep
Drive on engines till they weep
With future pixels in factories far away
So call the mainland from the beach
All parties now washed up in bleach
The waves are rising for this time of year
And nobody knows what to do with the heat
Under sunshine pylons we'll meet
While rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky
I got a feeling now my heart is frozen
All the verses and the corrosion
Have been after native in my soul
I prayed on the unmovable
Yeah, clinging to the atoms of rock
Seasons, the adjustments
Times have changed
I can't see now, she said "taxi"
Now that light is so I can take
This storm bring strange loyalties and skies
I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
Here we go again
That's electric
That's electric
Helicopters fly over the beach
Same time every day, same routine
A clear target in the summer when skies are blue
Its part of the noise when winter comes
It reverberates in my lungs
Nature's corrupted in factories far away
Here we go again
That's electric
Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky
That's electric
With future pixels in factories far away
Here we go again
That's electric
Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky
That's electric
With future pixels in factories far away
Here we go again

HARRYS POV
We finished putting away all the things before she turned the music off and we flopped on her bed.
"Thanks for hanging out again" she said shyly.
"It's not a problem. I like spending time with you" i put an arm round her and let her lean on my side.
"Thanks" her voice cracked slightly.

"Are you alright?" I asked her.
"Yeah i just" she sniffled. "I haven't been this happy in a while"
"Hey you can talk to me. I'm here for you"
"I just get pretty lonely. I have a friend called Michelle. She teaches English like me. But she has a family, y'know? She has a lot going for her. I'm just a boring English teacher. I don't have a lot of people. I've never even...been in a serious relationship"

"People fucking suck but I just know when you finf your person you will be so happy. And hey, you got me now. I'm always here for you. Life gets a bit boring and stuff, I understand but you gotta put yourself out there. Have fun, take risks"
"Define risks" she replied.
"One time I was high and jumped out of a window and bit off the end of my tongue"

"What!? Let me see!" She pleaded. I couldn't say no to her. Her beautiful brown eyes stared up at me. I stuck my tongue out and her jaw dropped.
"Wow! Did it hurt?" Eroda was amazed.
"A lot. But it was funny"

"You're lovely Harry. Thank you" She leaned up and kissed my cheek. "I'm gonna make some tea. You want some?"
"Uh sure" i blushed before she left the room.

She really was so sweet
