Synopsis: Y/N is stressed out so the kitchen is a mess.

Harry had finished up in the studio after a long day of hard work with getting the songs write for his new album. He was struggling to get some of the ad-libs right since they were notes he struggled to perfect first time so what was suppose to be the morning, turned into an entire day.

He was so happy to finally be going home to see his pretty girl. He knew she was having a hard time with studying for her end of year exams and he was hoping she made the most of the day without Harry being around and distracting her the entire time.

It wasn't his fault though and he knew that. She was just so obssessed with him and how cute he was that she couldn't help but get distracted by his face as soon as he walked into the room, handing her cups of tea and rubbing her shoulders in hopes that it would ease some of the stress she felt.

Harry pulled up to their home. It was a three bedroom town house that Harry had bought before he even met Y/N but she was obsessed with it. She loved that it was on the outside of the city after having to live in the city centre for such a long time and she loved all the room and how Harry's interior deisgner had decorated each one to fit a different part of his personality. But what she loved the most was the huge kitchen downstairs. 

She was a baker and loved to bake anything and everything so having a kitchen that big was a dream come true for her.

Harry got out of his car and tried to hide the grin on his face as he walked up the path to their home. He opened the door, expecting to hear the tv on and Y/N's favourite movie playing as she dozed off on the couch with a plate of takeaway on the floor. 

However, he was met with the delightful smell of baked treats and the loud sound of the speaker blaring out his album. 

His eyebrows furrowed as he slipped off his shoes and walked into the kitchen. His confused expression turns into one of shock and then sympathy when he sees his girl with flour covering her entire body and face, a large pout and flushed cheeks on her face. Her hair was in all different directions and the kitchen counter was covered entirely with cookies, cupcakes, muffins, cakes and anything you could think of. It looked exactly like the bakery he use to work at back home.

Y/N hadn't notice Harry standing there and he couldn't help but smirk at her mumbling under her breath and the huffing and puffing that escaped her lips. She attempted to turn on the kitchen aid but that ended up with multiple things falling on the floor, "Will you please work with me here?" She groans. 

She finally manages to switch it on but the mixture goes everywhere and flies all over the kitchen, even getting on some of the cookies that were laid out on the counter. She quickly flips the switch and Harry swears he notices tears in her eyes as she picks up the bowl and places it in the sink. "Harry's gonna be so mad I ruined his kitchen." She whimpers to herself.

Harry decides to make himself known as watching her beat herself up over a little accident, wasn't something he liked to see. "Baby," Harry says, Y/N jumping at the sound of his voice. "What's going on?" 

"O-Oh, hi Harry. U-um, I was making some treats for y-you to have when you got home but I-I got a bit too carried away. I'm s-so sorry...I'm s-sorry I ruined your kitchen. I will p-pay you back, I'll pay-" She rambles, her eyes glistening over with tears. 

"Hey, bubs, you don't need to get so upset. I don't care about the kitchen, it's a mess that can easily be fixed but I want to know how I can fix this mess." He cups her cheeks and wipes some of the flour off with the pad of his thumb.

"Mess? Me? I'm fine." Her lip trembling as she speaks. 

"Lovie, remember what we said when we spoke about being honest with our feelings? Especially with the long distance and work and stuff?" Harry tries to coax it out of her by mentioning the time they had a heart to heart about how they've been finding it difficult to be apart from each other.

Y/N nods and looks down, a tear slipping out her eye. "I can't do it Harry."  She cracks and decides she needs to tell Harry what's been bothering her recently, the stress is too much. 

"Can't do what baby?" Harry reaches for her hand and pulls her into him, not caring about the flour she's covered in.

"I-I can't, I'm so stressed out right now." She whimpers.

"Baby, if it's school, we can figure something out. You don't need to get this upset about it." He talks but Y/N shakes her head.

"It's not just school. I-I just don't feel good enough...for you." She begins and Harry's about to say something but she's quick to inturrupt him. "Please, please let me talk." Harry closes his mouth and slowly nods. "It's not your fault, of course it's not your fault. It's mine. I just think about how amazing you've done and the crazy things you're doing with your life. You're living out your dreams and making people happy and you're doing it all so young as well. And then...there's me. I'm a year younger than you and not even doing half the things you are. I have no idea what I want to do with my life and I'm scared I won't make the most of it. No offence, but I don't want to be some stay at home mum for my entire life whilst you go off and earn all the money and studying for these exams just gets me to think about the future and... I'm scared. It sounds stupid, I know." 

"No, no it doesn't. Baby, you're feelings are valid no matter what they're about. Just because there are worst things in the world going on doesn't mean you don't matter. The rest of the world can solve the bigger problems and I'll solve yours." Harry kisses her forehead. "I'm glad you told me this. I wouldn't have known if you didn't but, baby, just because I got lucky doesn't mean you won't eiether. You're going to do so many great things in life and I'll stick by you the entire time. And who told you that you haven't done anything good already? Huh, who said that baby because I'm going to beat their asses." Harry jokes and a small smile appears on Y/N's face before she buries it into his chest. "I love you pretty girl. You can be a con artist for all I care and I'd still support you. I don't want you to feel pressure or to be upset over things like this because we have time and we have each other." 

"We do, don't we?" Y/N mumbles, more to herself than to anyone else. She needed to stop putting so much pressure on herself and to stop hiding things away from the people who care about her. Harry knew she got stressed out easily and needed to make it a priority to ask her if anythings bothering her more often. 

Even after three years of dating, they still had so much to learn about each other and that was completely okay as long as they had each other to hold at night and wake up to in the morning. Everything would be okay. 

Harry takes Y/N's hand and presses a soft kiss to her knuckles. "Do you feel a little better?" He asks. 

Y/N nods, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I know you've been stressed about the album and such and I didn't want to put all my problems on top of that."

"Please don't make yourself seem like a burden. You can come to me anytime and I'd put all my problems aside just to see that pretty smile." He pecks her nose which causes Y/N to give him the smile he was talking about and that he loves so much. 

"I love you so much." She whispers, standing on her toes to give him a kiss to his lips.

"I love you too." Harry grins and kisses her again but a little longer, savouring the taste of her sweet lips. "So, who's in charge of tasting all these treats?"

"Well, I was thinking Venus since he's had to put up with me aggressively shoving pots and pans in places." Y/N jokes, referring to their black cat. 

"Sounds to me like you've made Venus too afraid to walk back in here so looks like it's going to have to be me." Harry smirks and Y/N rolls her eyes.

"Hmm well I heard that whoever eats the food has to wash up." Y/N smirks

"On second thoughts, I might join Venus." Harry says and Y/N chuckles at his wit.

Who needed baking to take the stress away when you've got a Harry to love you instead?
