Parachute | Harry Styles Short Story

10 - That's Life!

Forgive typos or continuity errors, I'm exhausted x

Blue yawns as the video plays for probably the fifth time. It's a semi-interactive video Doctor Bell shared with the class and it has a mini column with Luce translating.

Except, Blue is currently watching the video alone and waiting for Harry to return.

The messages pop up on the screen and she chuckles at two students still going at it. An argument about representation and diversity in storytelling.

Paula has been bombing her phone with texts, asking her to imagine their unified audacity.

The idea of an online class is hilarious because this has proven to be a mess and she wishes Harry was back to see this.

After suggesting a breakfast date, he surprised her by offering to pick up breakfast for them and she hesitantly allowed him to go alone.

Remembering his last encounter in her environment, it was hard but Harry seemed super enthusiastic and she didn't want to take that from him.

Something bubbles in her heart at the thought of a breakfast date and it might just be fear.

Blue believes he's going out of his way to be nice before rejecting her because she cannot see this ending well.

There's a very gentle knock on the door and she recognises it to be Harry's soft way of knocking.

Blue pauses the session and hurries to the door with a smile on her face.

The door is thrown open and Harry is happily standing there, freshened up, wearing new clothes and holding a medium sized box of breakfast.

He looks as handsome as ever. Every single time she sees him, his beauty increases by a percent that terrifies her.

"What happened?" she asks pointing at his new outfit. 

"I stopped over at my sister's place to shower and change," he chuckles, stepping in.

This is his first time bringing up his sister. Blue is aware he hasn't been on talking terms with her but hearing this is refreshing.

Harry sets the box on the coffee table and frowns before patting his jacket to feel his phone. She shuts the door and smiles as he gets out his phone to double check their orders.

"You look nice," she compliments with a smile.

"Thank you, you too," he notices her own change of outfit and hair packed up.

Harry nervously avoids staring at her for too long but he cannot deny how ravishing she looks right now.

Her beauty will not stop leaving him in awe and he needs to get used to this. He gently opens the box to reveal the array of breakfast bagels, fillings and sides.

This is exactly what Blue requested for breakfast and he made sure to get it just as she wanted.

Initially, he was going to drag Zayn along with him to help at the cafe but he was super lucky to meet a server that was somewhat fluent in BSL and an overall decent human being.

"This is so lovely," she admires the breakfast.

"I did my best, I found a kind server after a rude one freaked out," he explains.

"I'm sorry about that," she calmly signs.

"No, don't be. I'm used to people being shitty," Harry chuckles.

"Well, you shouldn't. They shouldn't be shitty to you," Blue frowns a little.

"It's how we are as humans," he shrugs.
