Heading around the corner, you finally reached home after a long day, finding yourself to be stressed and late home yet again due to your bus being late.

"I'm home!" You called, shutting the door behind you.

"Hey, I made you some dinner." Harry spoke as you entered the kitchen, stopping you to kiss your forehead.

"Oh, thank you." You smiled, sitting down at the table as Harry sat opposite to you.

He folded his hands together, biting his bottom lip nervously as he looked at you, simply giving you a reassuring smile when you looked back at him.

Soon enough, he was tapping his foot against your leg and you sighed, finishing your food.

"What's wrong?" You asked as his eyes darted to yours, a nervous and sad look in his them.

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong? You seem nervous." You asked, concerned.

He let out a sigh before shaking his head and rubbing his hands through his hair.

"It's nothing - I'm sure it's nothing." He said quickly, getting up and heading out of the kitchen.

You stood up, placing your plate in the sink before heading outside and following him into the bathroom.

Despite him smiling at you and telling you that it was nothing, you knew him better than that and after four years of being with him, you knew that he wanted to tell you whatever it was, he just needed you to be there for him.

"You can talk to me, you know." You told him, in persistence.

"I don't want to, it will most likely cause an argument." He sighed, stepping out of his clothes and getting into the bath he had run for himself.

"No it won't, I'm not in the mood for arguing. You can tell me." You reassured him as he stepped into the bath.

He looked at you as you sat down next to the bath, his green eyes conflicted between telling you and not doing.

"Please, tell me." You added and he sighed as you entwined your fingers with his.

"I feel like you don't- um- well, kind of, don't love me as much anymore." He stammered, nervously.

You studied him, noticing how his green eyes shimmered in hope, but also in nervousness.

"Why would you think that?" You asked, quietly.

"I know you've been busy recently with studying, but Y/N, I miss you. We've hardly spent much time together recently and I understand that your tired when you get home, but don't I even get a cuddle?" He explained, a frown on his lips.

"Oh, Harry." You sighed, rubbing your hands over your face before taking his hand in yours again.

"I don't love you any less, your always on my mind, even when I'm busy, your not far away in my thoughts and that hasn't changed. I've been focusing on exams and work a lot recently, I know that. I'm just trying to prove to myself that I can pass and I'm trying to do my best. I'm sorry if you feel like I've been pushing you to the back of my mind, because I haven't, not intentionally." You explained, kissing the back of his hand gently.

"Do you promise me?" He asked, quietly.

"Promise you what, babe?"

"Do you promise me that I'm never far away from your thoughts? That you love me?" He questioned, softly, more for confirmation, than for reassurance.

"I promise you." You smiled and he smiled back, his left dimple showing as his green eyes glimmered in happiness.

"Thank you, I'm sorry for doubting you, I just needed to know that you definitely still love me." He sighed, pulling you forward to him as you kissed his forehead.

"It's okay, of course I still love you, you silly boy." You giggled.

"I'm sorry for making you feel like you had to doubt me." You added as he smiled.

"It's okay, baby. It's just - I love you so much, it hurt to wonder if you felt love for me anymore." He said.

"Of course I do." You said as he wrapped his arms around you from across the bath tub, pulling you into him and wetting your back.

"I love you so much and if you ever feel like that again, please talk to me." You told him.

"I will." He replied, letting you go.

"I'm sorry, I wet your shirt." He added and you shook your head.

"It's okay." You smiled.

"Will you get in with me?" He asked, innocently.

He smiled at you, his dimple showing as he pleaded with you to join him before you agreed, peeling yourself from your clothes and getting into the bath, with Harry behind you, his legs resting on both sides of you.

"I love you." He mumbled against your forehead as he pulled you into his chest before leaving a kiss there.

"I love you so so much, kitten." He whispered, kissing your lips.

"I love you too, baby." You smiled, resting your head on his shoulder as he kept his arms around you, his gentle and sweet gestures seeming to make the love you held for him only grow.

After your shared bath, you dried off and headed to bed, climbing in as Harry wrapped his arms around you, placing his head on your shoulder and holding onto you tightly, but gently.

"Y/N, I have something to ask you and it's important." He spoke after a few minutes of cuddles.

He opened the drawer next to the bed, taking out a box before closing the draw.

"Four years of being together is a while, you know?" He said, opening the box to reveal a beautiful ring.

Your eyes widened as you looked at the ring.

"I bought this a few weeks ago, but you've been so busy and I wondered if you wanted to be with me anymore, but now that I know that you do, I want to ask you this important question. I love you and I want to marry you. Do you want to marry me too?" He asked.

Speechless, you leaned forward, attaching your lips to his before pulling away.

"Yes, I want to marry you." You gasped, finding the situation to be emotional.

"Really? Will you marry me?" He asked, in disbelief and you nodded, with a smile.

"Of course I want to marry you! I wondered if you'd ever asked." You laughed and he smiled, leaning in to kiss your forehead a few times before sliding the ring onto your ring finger.

"I love you so much." You whispered as he kissed your forehead again.

"I love you so much too, baby." He whispered back.
