love on tour series //
St. Paul, Minnesota
Being in Minnesota was fun. You were visiting your best friend taking a well-deserved break. You had just finished filming a Netflix show that had lots of buzz around yet did not have a release date and had attended the Emmys. As award season had come to a close, you decided visiting your favorite person would be an excellent way to celebrate. Especially since free days were becoming rarer and rarer. You were thankful for the role in The Queen's Gambit and its direction for your career, but it was always lovely to enjoy time with loved ones.
Naomi had let you stay in her guest bedroom, letting you know to stay for as long as you wish, but you wouldn't last longer than five days. You didn't like intruding on Naomi and Sarai, Naomi's partner. They both assured you that it was no problem, but you begged to differ.
On your second day, Sarai surprised you with enchiladas just like your grandma had made. Their family was from Acapulco, Mexico, just like your grandparents. Naomi always liked to say she was meant to bring you all together, and she had.
That wasn't the only surprise you had come to learn she had for you as she said to dress nice and be ready at eight. You were even more shocked to hear that Sarahi would not be joining you. They informed you they had to meet with their cohort to go over a project they were handed.
You had a limited selection of clothes from your suitcase and clothes you had left over the years. After getting out your favorite pieces, you dressed in black flares that made your ass look amazing. You paired it with a silk cami, a mint color that matched your nails. You paired it with your favorite pair of red leather boots that were always packed first in your suitcase. They're a few years old, but you treasured them too much to say goodbye. They were the only classy shoes you packed because you swore you could pair them with anything, and thus far, you have.
You debated the most about doing your makeup, not being able to make up your mind before deciding to go with mascara and red lipstick. Looking in the mirror, you felt hot and knew you looked great. Being in the public eye, you learned to spot all your insecurities before the world could and owned them. The scar running up your thigh was always an attention grabber until the story of how you got it was exposed, and then no one seemed to care about a bicycle accident that happened at the age of twelve.
Grabbing your wallet and phone, you headed out to the living room where Naomi was sitting on her couch scrolling through on her phone, Sarai having left already.
"You don't mind carrying my wallet, do you?" You asked.
"Course not, give it here."
Naomi, nosy as always, opens up the wallet and takes a look inside as you grab some water before you have to head out. She's quiet, so you peek over and see her standing with the wallet still in hand.
"I'm in your wallet." She states, showing you a photo of last December of her standing arms raised as she stood in the center of the ice rink.
"You have been since that time you gave me a photo of you that was taken during team pictures for Tennis in ninth grade."
Naomi nods, remembering how she had given one to you and her parents then hiding them away. "Yeah, I don't know. Nice to know you keep me close."
"Always do, only one person I call my best friend."
Naomi shakes her body out, pocketing the wallet into her pink cross-body bag. "Alright, enough being a sap. We've got to go."
In the car, Namoi decides against music and instead decides to interrogate you on your next project. For the first time in a long time, you didn't have anything definitive lined up. You filmed and auditioned like crazy the past few years, so your manager, Viola, was giving you a much-needed break. She loved to remind you to relax and enjoy it all, and thanks to her, you had. Viola has always had your best interest in mind since she met you at age seventeen.
"Viola said I'm a free bird for a few weeks, months she had said, but I'll surely have an interview or two pop up soon."
"Does that mean you'll be staying with me?"
You laugh, "Nice try, but someone is busy with her dissertation, and I'd be a distraction."
"A pretty one at least."
"Gee, thanks." You reply sarcastically.
"What will you do?"
You shrug, "Life has a funny way of working things out, so I'm not worried."
Naomi looks over at you, confused, "I've never seen you so mellow."
"It is because life is good, and I'm here with you. Being with you reminds me of home."
"New York?" You don't answer, so she keeps going, "Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans?"
"London."
Naomi frowns, "London?"
"I had not stayed for longer than a week but those four months. It felt like it could be home, or well, I could make it home."
"Do you think it has to do with your parents?"
You look over at Naomi, who's focused on the road, making a right turn into a busy street filled with traffic. "Yeah, it does."
Neither of you continues the conversation as you finally see the destination in front of you.
The Xcel Energy Center.
Naomi had brought you to an arena where hundreds of cars and many people walked towards what you assumed was the entrance. There were two entries to the parking, and she picked the one that said VIP.
She rolls down her window and leans in to look at the name tag on the security. "Hi, Jason." She greets confidently.
"Miss you a VIP member?"
"No, but I can be." The man frowns. "I got royalty in the car." She gestures her head to you. God. Of course, she's playing the famous card.
You lean closer, "Hello Jason, good evening."
The man's eyes widened, and that's when you get a good look; he couldn't be older than 25. "Shit! Sorry--you're! Oh my goodness! I love you. You're my hall pass."
Naomi is biting back a laugh, and you smack her thigh to silence her. "Very flattering, Jason. Thank you. See, I wasn't aware I was coming to the show, or I would have called ahead to make an arrangement; if it's not possible, you can direct us to the available parking lot. I believe it's close to show time."
"No worries, Miss Belmonte. You follow straight ahead of the cones, and Connor will meet you at an entrance. Do you happen to know where you'll be sitting?"
You look at Naomi, waiting for her to answer. "Cherry pit."
"Very well. We'll have bracelets ready for you and someone to direct you in." Jason offers kindly.
"Thank you so much, sorry for the bother. You've been an angel." The young man blushes but doesn't look away. "Could I offer you a photo?" You suggest, genuinely thankful for his help.
His smile falters, "I would love that, but I'm on the job, Miss Belmonte."
You smile, admiring the man and following their protocols. You think for a minute before reaching into the glove box where you know Sarai keeps extra purple index cards for some reason. There is a pen right beside it. You write a thank you, folding it in half and handing it to him.
"Thank you, Jason. I'll never forget your generosity."
"Same here, my niece looks up to you. She thinks you're a real-life princess."
"Do send her my love then."
Jason nods, stepping back, and Naomi continues to a parking lot where few cars are parked.
"You amaze me." Naomi states. You laugh, not sure how to respond. "You handled that with some much grace even after I abused your fame card."
"As long as you don't do it again," You chastise her as you've done many times before.
"We'll see," she chuckles, "come on, Miss Hall Pass."
You roll your eyes, slip out of the car and see a man waving at you. You both offer your wrists where he puts on the wristbands after he checks Naomi's tickets. He nods, asking you to follow him in. There's loud chatter, and you can hear "Olivia" being played through the arena. Conner walks you down the steps to the entrance, where he bids you a good time.
"I can't believe you surprised me with a Harry Styles show."
Naomi grins, throwing her arm over your shoulder walking you towards a side of a stage that looks empty. "I know, I'm the best."
"Yeah, everyone looks amazing. There are so many boas." You marvel at how there are people dressed as if they were about to walk the runway.
"Do you think he'll show tits tonight?" Naomi giggles, thinking back to your reaction to her sending you a photo of his Las Vegas outfit in which he was dressed in a pink fringe vest showing off his toned body.
"A girl can dream," you joke.
"I'll never understand how you've never run into him again." Naomi shakes her head, "The one person who should be your friend and isn't."
"Wow, thanks. That's totally why I became famous."
"It's why I stuck around being your friend." She quips back.
You scoff, "jerk."
"Kidding."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Let's bet you get recognized tonight?"
You nod because you're confident it won't be happening, "Sure, what do you want?"
"Christmas in London."
"New Year in Italy."
"Damn, that's good. I hope I lose."
You laugh, causing a few heads to turn to look at you, and you duck, not liking eyes on you. "Ah, Miss Introvert makes her appearance."
"Leave me alone, you stinker."
Naomi laughs at you, pulling you in for a hug so you can hide properly, "Think on the bright side, no one cares about you because compared to Harry Styles, you're like a nobody all over again."
"That felt like a backhanded compliment."
She shrugs, "Take it as you please."
There are loud cheers suddenly filling the arena, causing you both to look over at the stage when it's only a box in the middle of the runway being taken under the stage.
Naomi stares at it as you untangle yourself from her hold. "You've heard the box theories."
"Only a hundred times because you don't shut up about it."
"Come on, I think it's cool. I want to see how he gets in and if he's uncomfortable or if someone's spun him around a few times. Like I can't imagine it to be comfortable."
"Alright, for Christmas, I'll get you one of those boxes, and we'll roll you around."
"Would you really?"
"Christ, you're a weird one."
You settle down swaying and singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody.
"When did you even score these tickets?"
"Two years ago," she answered nonchalantly.
You gasp, "what?"
"Yeah, remember how he postponed it because he wanted to film two movies well then."
"Wow, I love you."
"I know."
The lights go out, and the cheers are deafening. A poem starts being read, and you can see the band coming out setting up. The female band members are in orange, and the men are in blue/green shade. You let out a loud cheer letting it get lost with the thousands of other people's yells.
Here's to a night to remember.
It has truly blown away how amazing Harry sounds. You had been dying to hear his new album live since it came out in 2019. Each song has a different intro making it feel like a whole new song. The band matches his energy, and you can tell how much he thrives on it.
Harry constantly blows kisses out into the crowd, smiles at posters, and responds to a few with an exaggerated reaction. The intro to Sunflower Vol. 6 with Niji had to be your favorite. You could see how Harry and the crowd loved the beat as the cheers only got louder.
You had not stopped dancing and singing along since he came out. You could hear how horse Naomi's voice had become due to shouting out the lyrics.
Harry had not been wrong when he had said you might be getting lots of ass tonight, but you weren't complaining; it wasn't a bad view. He was so effortlessly himself on the stage that you felt his presence no matter where you stood.
This had to be one if not the best concert you have ever attended.
After Sunflower, Harry takes a moment to take in the crowd; he spots a poster reading, "Should I text him?" He proceeds to go on a long tangent about double texting, thumbs upping means they replied last, and finishing off by saying, "trash, trash, trash." That erupts lots of cheers.
No, you did not think you would ever hear Harry Styles be giving relationship advice to a sold-out arena, but damn, does this man continue to surprise you.
The concert continues, Cherry making you swoon; it is one of your favorites on the album because you were a sucker for sad songs. Lights Up easily becomes your favorite song he performs. He sings the song with his whole heart, and the crowd does the same. Singing "do you know who you are" in an arena of people knowing you're doing what you love with amazing people in your life, you happily sing back. You really understand what people mean when they say Harry makes you feel part of something bigger, makes you remember the importance of embracing who you are one hundred percent.
It's after Lights Up that he begins walking around closer to your side. He smiles at your section before doing a double-take; he grabs more of the cord and steps closer, causing the fans around you to start cheering louder as he's showered with bouquets of flowers.
Harry has stopped walking, and you feel as if he was staring right back at you. You're four rows back from the barricade but now he has the eyes of a hawk not missing anything, just like he spotted the Green Bay Packers fan earlier in the show.
"Do I know you?" Harry speaks into the microphone.
You foolishly turn around before looking back at him before pointing to yourself. He laughs. "Yes, you."
"Don't think so." You shout back, hoping he can hear you.
That wasn't the truth, but it didn't feel like a lie. See, many moons ago, when Harry was still in One Direction, and you were booking Indie films and minor roles for prominent directors, you both happened to be attending the same event a mutual friend invited you to attend. Harry approached you and chatted with you for a long time, sharing a drink of apple cider until he was whisked away.
You didn't know he tried to find you again later in the night or that he asked everyone who attended if they had seen you or knew who you were, but no one seemed to recognize her name. It wasn't until his sister, Gemma, mentioned watching a show named "New Amsterdam'' did he find you again. You were a semi-regular from London a surgeon and were so positively received by the audience that it seemed you were coming back as a regular. Then after finally finding out your name, he fell down the rabbit hole of your IMDB, and well ever since 2018, it's like he always had an out for you.
Harry watched your newest horror thriller film Ready or Not and Love and Monsters, where you had a small role but captured his attention every time you were on the screen. He had watched countless interviews and learned how you had worked with Dylan O'Brien before in a film named First Time, sharing how Dylan gave you lots of advice and managed to be a friend through your growing career. Maybe he was biased, but he thought you were an outstanding actress, each role you made your own. Acting alongside Tom Hanks and being the person to stand out. Don't even get him started in your role in The Queen's Gambit; he could discuss it all day and night.
Well, Harry can proudly be called your fanboy.
Harry had that party in 2015 flash through his mind, and he was hoping you remembered him as well. He'd known he would recognize you in any crowd; he just didn't expect it to be in Minnesota.
He steps closer and narrows his eyes. "May 2015."
You gasp, and it stuns his fans. Not that he knows you, but that he stated a date that they could maybe pinpoint. You doubted it as you don't remember documenting the night or making conversation with anyone other than Harry.
"Yeah," you smile, nodding. "Thought you wouldn't remember."
"I remember a lot in the big head of mine." He jokes. You laugh. "Any requests?" He's smiling at you, waiting to see what you'd say.
You think about it, "Medicine!"
He smirks. "Did you say canyon moon?" The crowd cheers for medicine, and a few yell, asking for to be so lonely, "well, we will be doing Canyon Moon. This is for you." Harry sends you a wink before strutting away to get ready.
"Did Harry Styles recognize you?" Naomi asks, not believing that happened.
"Yes."
"From six years ago."
"Yes."
"Holy shit. What is your life?!"
You laugh because that did not feel real. Naomi spins you around as you happily dance and sing along to a song now dedicated to you. You're trying your best to ignore the glances and the few cameras being pointed at you. You see the recognition in many girls around you, and with no security, you hope they stay respectful.
"Think you might have to get away," Naomi grimaces.
You sigh, still dancing along to the song, "yeah."
"Damn,"
"I'll just slip out and wait in the car. You finish the show." You tell her, not wanting to take this experience away from her.
Naomi pouts, "You're too good of a person. We'll leave before the encore. Got like two songs left."
You nod, knowing she has a point, enjoy the last bit and worry leaving in a while everyone is distracted cheering for an encore they knew was coming.
After finishing crying to Fine Line, swaying with your best friend to a song that brings you so much comfort, you make your way towards the exit where you entered, knowing it'd be the easiest way out. Naomi links your hands together and pulls you forward, staying close to the barricade when a hand sticks out, landing on your elbow stopping you. You startle bumping into Naomi, not recognizing the man. Naomi is ready to rip him a new one when he lifts a pass up. "Love on Tour: Manager."
You let out a sigh, instantly relaxing. "I'm Jeff." He introduces himself.
"I'm Y/N, and this is Naomi."
Jeff smiles, "I know who you are. Think most people do. The cameras put you on the screens."
"Oh," you feel your face flush.
"If you need to leave, we can get you out backstage, but you can also watch from here with me if you'd like to. I've got fancy one-of-a-kind lanyards."
You look at Naomi but know the choice is in your hands, and well, you're hesitating. "I've got it on good authority that someone wants to meet you." Jeff offers.
You nod, letting him hand over a pass, slipping it over your head going over to a side entrance where the security enables you to pass through. You thank him before greeting Jeff in a handshake, and he seems taken back at the gesture before shaking your hand.
"Can I just say I'm a fan of your work? You were incredible in Queen's Gambit. My wife adores the show and you." Jeff tells you as you stand next to him.
You grin at him. "Thank you, means a lot to hear that. Send her my best, will you? If you want, we can send her a message or sign something." You offer.
"You're kind, thank you."
Naomi finally speaks up, still on edge, "Listen, Jeff, don't go taking advantage of her."
"Course not. I understand how much H values his privacy. I imagine it's the same for you."
You nod, "She means well; she's very protective. We've been friends since the sixth grade."
"I understand friendship," He squeezes your arm in assurance. "I feel like I've known Harry all my life. I'd never try to jeopardize your privacy. But you are at a concert for one of the most in-demand artists of the time."
You giggle, "That I am."
You turn back on stage as Harry starts singing Sign of the Times, and the note changes make you feel as if you're hearing it for the time. You sing along, loving that Jeff sings as well. You had not expected to be here but wouldn't change this moment for anything.
Harry introduces his band, Elin, Ny Oh, Niji, Pauli, Mitch, and Sarah. Jeff laughed as he heard you scream the loudest for Sarah out of the other members. You know he makes a mental note of that. Harry begins having the audience riff off with him. He's walking around going from side to side, seeing who can sing it louder. Harry goes back to where you were initially standing to seek you out but doesn't find you. He asks for the house lights and nothing. He frowns, and you catch that on the screens before he moves down, finding a fan dressed as a banana.
He begins singing "she's dressed as a banana" in a beat that fits so well with what the band is playing. That truly is impressive. The crowd singing it with him just as loudly. You're sure that catchy tune will be stuck in your head for a long time.
"He was looking for you," Jeff yells over the intro to the song.
"Was not." You state.
"He was. I know him well. Also, you were the only one he interacted with within the area."
You hum, "Never thought he'd spot me in a crowd."
"Are you kidding? He'd find you in the crowd of time square. He's got a crush on you." Jeff lets slip.
"You don't say," you smirk.
"Please don't tell him I told you."
"Secret is safe with me."
You dance singing back the lyrics when Jeff looks over at you, "Well,"
"Well, what?" Not amused, he interrupted your singing to watermelon sugar.
"You fancy him?"
"Honestly, he's a dream. We clicked all those years ago, so maybe it's still there."
Jeff nods, liking your response, beginning to dance when you see someone else going crazy for his moves, and you start cheering them on. You come to learn his name is Tommy, and he's also part of Harry's team. After kiwi, Jeff ushered you backstage, taking you into a communal area where everyone meets after to celebrate with a drink.
And now you wait.
The band comes in full of chatter; Pauli has a bi pride flag resting on his shoulders. Sarah has her hand resting around Mitch's waist. Elin and Ny Oh were laughing with each other as they all stepped in Jeff at your side.
You wave hello to everyone, holding your breath as you feel all of their eyes on you. Turning to the side to look at Jeff, he does nothing but laugh, "Friends, this is Y/N Belmonte and her friend Naomi. Y/N and Naomi, this is Sarah Jones' band." You all let out a laugh, instantly thankful for Jeff's joke to break the ice.
"A pleasure to meet you all. You were incredible out there." You grin at them, hoping someone will say something.
"Thank you," Mitch replies, and it instantly relaxes you.
"Someone's favorite is the drummer," Jeff teases as they wait for Harry to make his way inside as he had to remove his mic pack and also took a moment to himself after.
You feel your face flush, "my grandma liked playing the drums, and I was rubbish. I'm great on piano, but I just have so much respect for the drums. Not that you all aren't amazing, it's just personal." You defend.
"No worries, I respect that," Niji replies, offering a fist pump.
"So are we okay to take photos with you? We're big fans, and I think Queen's Gambit is always playing in our tour bus." Elin tells you.
"Oh, and the thriller about hide and seek," Pauli informs you.
"Thank you, of course, we can."
After getting photos with everyone, make sure to get them on your phone as well, knowing you'd have to share on your close friends' list about how great the concert was and how lucky you were to meet the band. By the time Harry comes in, everyone is chatting as if we've known each other for months. You learn how funny and intelligent Pauli and Niji are. Ny Oh tells you about life on tour. Elin shares how she's having the best time and offers to show you some tunes on the guitar.
"Jeff-she's gone again. I couldn't even-" he stops in his tracks as he sees you standing with Mitch and Sarah, their phone in hand as they were showing you photos of their baby. "How are you here?"
"Oh, my best friend Naomi bought us tickets. Very nice of her. She said something about Ticketmaster sucking." You laugh thinking back to her story about how she got online early and even had Sarai helping her.
"No backstage. I looked for you in the crowd. I didn't see you."
Jeff gives you an I told you, so look from the side, and you bite back a smile.
"Oh, that's what you were looking for. Thought you lost a contact lens." Naomi teases.
"Jeff was kind enough to offer us to exit backstage if we needed a way out and also said it was okay if we stayed." You smile at Harry's confused but elated face. "Said you might want to meet. Got a good manager in your hands."
Harry nods, his voice soft, "can I hug you?"
You grin and nod, in two strides, he's in front of you, bringing you wrapping his arms around you, and you do the same, resting them on his waist. He's holding you tight as if he won't be letting go any time soon.
He squeezes you tightly two more times before letting you go but leaving a hand resting on your back. "You should introduce yourself with your full name. I only had your name to go by."
You frown, "I used my first name with Jeff, and he knew not to sound conceited or anything."
"No, six years ago. You left, and I never found you that night. I only had your name to go by."
Your eyes widen in surprise, "Well, shit. I didn't know that."
"Yeah, I didn't know who to ask."
You're aware everyone is tuned in with your conversation with Harry but don't mind. "Could have asked Harry Lambert. He invited me to the event."
"Who?" Harry asks, not sure if he heard you correctly.
"Your stylist, Harry Lambert. He helped style me a lot when I was starting out. He said to call him if I ever needed him, and it was thanks to him, I found Gabbi. She's amazing and the reason I dress so well." You gesture down to your outfit.
"Holy shit, six degrees of separation."
"Truly."
"I mean, I asked everyone at that event about you, but Lambert had left early. Why did you leave?"
You shrugged. "Didn't know anyone other than Lambert, and we had a conversation, but you literally bounced from person to person, so I assumed you wouldn't circle back and left."
Harry nods, "Sounds like past me; I'm better at staying in one place now."
"Noted."
"Right, well, fancy a drink again?"
"Sure-'
"Ginger ale or sparkling water?"
You don't even ask why he remembers, "Water is fine."
"Alright, you had your moment. I'd like an introduction." Naomi walks over after he hands you your drink.
You chuckle, "Right. Naomi, meet Harry Styles. Harry, meet my best friend, Naomi Hart."
"Pleasure, Harry. I'm a big fan. That was a hell of a performance." She offers her hand to him, and he happily shakes it back.
"Thank you! It means so much. Have you been to a show before?"
Naomi nods eagerly. "Yes, we were in London both nights as a graduation gift for me and my partner and your final show in LA."
"Ah," he smirks, "big fans then."
"Oh yeah, want to know something about Y/N. She always cries to fine line."
You elbow her in her side, "shut up before I make him blocklist you."
Harry frowns, "Wouldn't dare."
"Fine, I'll block you from all my events," you falsely threaten.
"Quite rude of you to say. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for me."
"Actually for me- I could have spent my days off at home with-"
Naomi interrupts, "Please, you don't know what's home?"
You're aware everyone is still watching and frown, "hey- that's not nice."
"Sorry, babe, but you are a little lost."
You can't help but nod because it's true.
"Thank you for bringing her today; I'm a big fan." Harry addresses you both.
"Are you?" You're genuinely surprised.
"Of course. You're amazing. You're acting breathtaking."
"Well, I'm excited to see your film as well. Florence is a good friend, and she speaks highly of you."
"Thank you. Next year if you can believe it."
Release dates may be far, but they come quickly; you've learned, "you nervous about that?"
He nods, "just a bit; it will be different from Dunkirk."
"Sure as a male lead. I'd assume so."
"Do you sing?" Mitch asks, changing the conversation, "sorry, it's just that you said you play the piano."
"You do?" Harry's eyes widened in amazement.
"I can carry a tune," you offer, looking at Mitch and grin at him.
"Carry a tune, my ass." Naomi scoffs. "She's on the soundtrack of Coco. Singing in Spanish and English, and she composed a lot for things like The Greatest Showman and even a new Marvel film." She tells them proudly.
"Alright, stop talking before we have to make them sign NDA's," you joke.
"We'd be glad to," Harry replies.
"You're fine. Most of the info is available online anyways."
"Hmmm…why don't you perform?" Pauli asks.
"I like acting; it's where I'm meant to be. Learning new roles and also most of my directors let me learn from them. Always give me constant feedback. Think the end goal is one day directing my own kind of movies or shows that allow people to feel something, something to connect to."
"That's remarkable," Jeff tells you.
"Yeah, I'm proud of what I've done. Sure, I might not have lots of awards, but I love what I do, and I can proudly stand behind each work that has come out."
Everyone is staring at you, and you grow nervous. "Did I say something wrong?"
"No," Harry assures you.
Sarah answers for everyone, "it's nice to see you sticking to your values."
"Well, of course, I know it's harder to address when in the public eye, but I try my best to be honest because sure they might not know me, but they are a part of me just as I am of them."
"That's really insightful. Thank you. I—I'm going to think about that more." Harry tells you, giving your hip a comforting squeeze.
You nod. Everyone quickly falls into chatter after a moment, and you're relieved, glad the attention has shifted well not everyone one's as you feel Harry's on you as you take a drink of the water. Naomi is chatting with Pauli, who's showing Naomi their outfit doing a small spin.
"This must be nice to experience each night; it feels like family."
Harry agrees, "They are. Everyone is important. Especially since we spend so many days on the road together away from those we love."
You both grow quiet, enjoying the laughter and chatter that everyone fills in the room.
"When Naomi said you didn't have a home, is that true?"
You sigh. "You don't have to answer." He assures you.
"Know anywhere more private we can chat?"
Harry nods, taking your hand in his leading you down hallway after hallway before arriving at the stairs leading to a luxury suite. You can see workers taking down the set; there are so many people out there.
"Wow, I've never seen it being taken down."
"Yeah. Build it each day only to take it down and do it again the following day."
"The 360 stage is great. Honestly felt your presence the whole time."
"Just what I like to hear." He laughs.
Harry takes a seat, and you follow, sitting right next to him, knowing he's waiting for you. You take a moment to gather your thoughts before deciding that, yes, you do want to share this with him.
"I lost my parents when I was eight. A drunk driver hit them when they were on their way to pick me up from school. I lived in England all my life, specifically Brighton. My father was born in the US, and his parents still lived in California. They moved from Mexico with a Visa, and they had a hard upbringing here, but they fought to give my dad the best they could. He fell in love and followed my mother across the world. I knew what death meant when they passed, but I didn't understand that I wouldn't see them anymore. That morning having breakfast together would be the last memory I'd ever have with them." You stop and take a breath when you feel Harry take your hand in his.
"So at eight, I was uprooted from my life and moved to California to be raised by my grandparents. They were mourning the loss of a son and a daughter-in-law, but they told me that I was the miracle that helped them keep moving forward. They taught me Spanish, and I picked up Italian from my neighbor. I lost them in 2016. My grandma had a heart condition, and after she passed away, two weeks later, my grandpa passed away."
You're no longer fighting back your tears; it's been a while since you've shared the story. Honestly, you can't remember the last time you spoke about this, but it feels good. Not as heavy.
"My abuelo said he was sorry to leave me alone but assured me I was in good hands and that I surrounded myself with great people that would look out for me. Grown, the limited series I did for HBO, won me an Emmy, and it was based partially around my life and how I had to grow up alone building a found family as I went through life. It's very little, but it's my story to the world on my own terms if you know me. The screenwriter and director are two who have worked with me closely since I came into this crazy world and honored a bit of me in the best way they could."
Harry has tears running down his face, and you reach your free hand up to wipe them away, hating that you made him sad. "After losing them, I wasn't sure what to do. Naomi was in Minnesota, and well after they passed, I moved in with her. I had the house, but it wasn't the same, and as much as I love Naomi, she's got someone else she calls home. I finished filming in London a week before the Emmys, and it's the safest I've felt. I just don't have many people to call family in London."
Harry reaches a hand to rest on your cheek, and you let out a deep sigh letting yourself relax in his hold. "You got me. I know we just met or well reunited, but let me in, and I promise I'll never leave your side. Let me help you see London as home again.
You nod, letting his words sink in, "I'm a wanderer who's looking for a place to call home."
"Song lyrics?"
"No, it's a saying I always said to Naomi."
He hums, "Might just have to write a song together."
"Not anytime soon."
"I'm patient." He promises. "Thank you for sharing that with me. Clearly, it wasn't easy, but I'm proud of how far you've come and can't wait to continue to see you grow."
"Thank you for listening. It's been a while since I've told anyone. I'm sorry if it was too much."
He shakes his head, "no apologies, love."
You nod; Harry leans back in the seat, letting his hand drop that was resting on your face on your lap. You're quick to catch it before he can remove it playing with his rings. You fall into a comfortable conversation talking about what stood out the most from the show, and you tell him about favorite places to eat in Minnesota. He shares that he loves that you accidentally matched. He makes you take a photo on his phone so that he can send it off to his sister to make her jealous. He takes a lot, an excuse to hold you close, not that you mind.
His phone rings with a phone call he is quick to ignore, then three chimes follow. He sighs, "I need to get on the road."
"Right," you don't move to get up, and neither does Harry.
"Alright, if we exchange numbers?"
"Be disappointed if we don't. I want those photos we took." You remind him.
You swap phones inputting your name as Belmonte 2015 💛
He smirks as he sees your name, and you laugh at how simple his contact name is: H 🕺
"Thank you for sharing with me."
"Well, next time, you owe me a life story." You declare.
He sounds smug, "next time?"
"Sure, told you my life story. Means you're part of my life forever. And I liked spending time with you."
"Yeah, I did too," he goes silent. "Felt like a date."
"Sneaky, Styles."
"What?"
"I deserve to be asked out properly, don't you think?"
Harry nods, "well, of course."
"Good, so," you urge him on.
"Will you let me take you on a date?" His voice wavering, not sure if you'd accept even though you told him to ask you.
You nod. "Yeah, six years late, but yes."
"You liked me too?" He asks, bewildered.
You grin, "I laughed at your jokes, batted my eyes at you. I flirted and think you were too busy being Mr. Popular to notice."
"Maybe, but god, you made me nervous and relaxed at the same time. I've never felt that way again until tonight when I saw you in the crowd."
"Well, I can't wait to see where life takes us."
As you make your way down the now empty hallways, you saunter, trying to extend your time together as much as possible. He asks about your favorite song to karaoke to, you ask about his go-to meal on the road. Going back and forth with questions. Not stopping until you're back in the room you were in earlier, except now only three people sit there, Naomi, Jeff, and Tommy.
"Did you fuck?" Naomi asks bluntly.
"Fuck Omie, and you ask why I don't take others anywhere."
"To be fair, I'm a lot to handle."
"No, we didn't," Harry answers, not wanting her to ask again.
You see her sitting next to more than a few items that have bunnies and Harry's face on them. Naomi follows your gaze, her smile widening. "I went shopping." She gloats.
"I see they found a way to get you to behave."
"Well, of course. Lots are for Sarai and me mostly; you can claim something you like as yours. We'll count this as your payment for staying at my apartment for free."
You laugh, not at all upset that she used your card; God knows there is so much money on there and if she wanted to use it by all means.
"Why am I not surprised?"
"You did leave it with me, and I know to use it for emergencies. Clearly, it was one."
"Jeff, you made our new friend pay?" Harry asks.
"She insisted."
"I did," Naomi agrees. "This one would have thrown a fit if not." Gesturing to you with a point of thumb.
"Geez, don't need to call me out, but she's right. You're all a hard-working team, not the only paychecks it'll be going to."
Harry knows he can't argue with that.
Naomi brings the topic back to them, "So anything interesting happen up there you'd like to share?"
Harry happily replies, "we will be going on a date."
"That's great, but we got to go," Jeff responds, leaving no room for argument.
Harry nods, not hiding his sadness as he brings you in for a hug. Your arms go around his waist; it truly felt like a reunion of a few months and not years.
He was not ready to say goodbye so soon when he got an idea.
"Say what you doing Friday?"
You pull away to look up at him, a bit shocked and a bit nervous about what he might ask you. "Not sure; I got a free schedule for some time."
Harry smirks; he brings a hand up, gently caressing your cheek with his thumb. "You like Chicago?"
And well… that's a story for another time.

series masterlist
You were awoken by the sun hitting your face, and a loud buzzing. Something heavy was draped over your waist and you felt someone’s breath grazing your neck. Confused you opened your eyes. The sun stinged your eyes and you squinted around the room. I’m in my own home. I’m in my own bed, you thought. When your eyes landed on the empty beer bottles and the empty champagne, your memories flooded back. Tom.
Your hand found Tom’s arm around your waist. You ran it along his upper arm before you rested it over the back of his hand. It must be early, you thought stretching your neck to look out your living room window that you’d left ajar last night. Outside you could glimpse a cover of grey clouds. A cold morning wind rustled the hinges and sent shivers down your body. You were still wearing your clothes from last night, but there’s not much warmth from a skirt and a tee. You shuffled closer to Tom’s chest.
Bbbzzzzz

Pumpkin Carving
Summary: It was supposed to be a fun little holiday activity. But pumpkin carving with Draco turns out to be quite a challenge. Will there be a winner?
Christmas Jumpers
Summary: Christmas at the Weasley's guarantees many things: loud voices, Molly's contunuous pleas for Bill to cut his hair and Christmas jumpers. For you, it's the first year you get your own, but instead of being happy to be considered part of the family, Fred seems to be bothered by it.
Mischief Managed

Learn to live again
Summary: After Fred’s death, nothing is the same any more. How do you go on living when the person you shared your whole life with is no longer there? George is confronted with this question and you try to help him.
Adrenaline
Summary: While your boyfriend helps escort Harry to the Weasleys, you wait for his return. But you never expect what awaits you.
Forbidden Love
Summary: George is used to sharing everything with his brother. So seeing him, having something that he wants as well, makes it difficult for him, to come to terms with his emotions.

Wrong Tie
Summary: After a heated make-out session, you and Percy are late for class. You try your best to limit the damage. In vain.
Perfect Coincidence
Summary: Visits to St Mungo's were never something Neville approached with joyful anticipation. Of course he loves his parents. But knowing that they probably wouldn't recognise and respond to him were depressing. But when he meets an unknown patient, the hospital visits become a highlight.
Sharing Classes
Summary: Neville and you return to Hogwarts as professors. The only problem is that you are to teach Herbology together. All the while, you don't like each other at all.
Chapter 1

Chapter Summary: This is the start of their story. Well, the start of the switch in their story, if you will. And if sympathy is in your soul, you'll want to pull it out because they will need it from the get go.
~~~~~
Chapter Warnings: Car accident, hospitalization, memory loss, medications, and a lot of angst
~~~~~
It's a surreal experience, to say the least. Everything happens in slow motion, but too quickly at the same time.
It was supposed to be a simple date night for you and Harry. Your plans involved having dinner at Tasty Palace, your favorite Chinese restaurant, and seeing a movie. You hadn't even bought a ticket, because the two of you wanted it to be a 'spur of the moment' decision- a fun way to make it interesting.
Your plans did not include a drunk driver, or an ambulance ride. Your plans did not include pacing outside of a room with your boyfriend on a hospital bed, waiting as he lies still and quiet, wishing with everything you have that he would wake up.
So you stand out there, staring at your phone, hoping that you were able to form some sort of sentence during your call with his mother, Anne.
As your eyes turn back towards the door, your vision becomes blurry and your mind becomes fuzzy. You feel your body start to get weak and barely hear someone calling for help.
•••
A soft voice brings you back to normal, and you blink your eyes open to see Anne kneeling in front of you.
"Oh thank goodness. YN, are you alright?" She asks, her eyes pointed at you without any sign of moving.
"I think so. Did I faint or something?"
"Yes. I arrived right as the nurse grabbed you to keep you from falling."
Your mind clicks into gear and your body sits up straight as can be, and your head snaps over to Harry's room.
"He isn't awake yet, darling." She sighs, and your shoulders slump down. "I'm here now, if you want to get some rest. You should rest."
You slowly shake your head. "I want to be with him."
"YN…"
"No!" You shout, causing a frown to form on your face at the shock of your own tone. "I'm sorry, Anne."
"It's alright, darling." She moves to sit in the chair next to yours, placing her palm on your back as she rubs it up and down to soothe you. "S'gonna be alright."
Tears flood immediately, and your face drops into your hands.
"I can't… I don't…" you utter, unable to keep your mind from beginning to think the worst.
She wraps her arm around your shoulders. "It's going… it's going to be alright… it's going to be alright."
She rests the side of her head against yours, as her own tears start to fall down her cheeks.
•••
Two days you've both been there, waiting. Calling family, friends, your boss, his boss… and waiting. Unable to give any updates, unable to give any answers, unable to process any of what happened, and unable to do anything but wait.
It is your turn for what you and Anne are calling a 'shift'. One of you stays in Harry's room, while the other takes a break to grab some food or coffee, reply to those texts and calls with no new information, and to clear the chaos of thoughts swirling around in your head.
You find the coffee machine that has the least disgusting choices, which are nothing to be excited about, and fill up two cups.
As you come back up to Harry's door, you notice a few more people have entered, and you take a deep breath before you walk in.
As you move around to where you see Anne standing, your gaze darts over to follow hers, seeing Harry's gorgeous and deep green eyes open for the first time since that daunting night.
"Oh my god." You whisper, handing Anne her coffee, as you try to keep your composure while the doctor explains the situation.
"Harry, you've suffered a TBI, which is a traumatic brain injury. Do you remember what happened?"
Harry just shakes his head.
"You were in a car accident, sweetheart." Anne exclaims, eyes flickering to yours with an grateful and relieved expression.
You just want to hold him, and kiss him, and nuzzle into his neck as you feel the joy of finally seeing him awake again.
"I… I was?"
"Now, we don't really know the extent of your injury. Only time, and maybe a few tests, will tell. But you are awake, and that's the first step. It's a good sign."
"Oh my god! I'm so glad you're okay!" You blurt out, rushing to the bedside just to touch his arm.
"Oh… Umm… Were you in the accident too?"
"Yeah, but I'm okay. Just some scratches, and bruising." You smile, squeezing his forearm, relieved to feel the muscles contract.
"I'm… I'm sorry." He utters.
"Don't be, Harry. It wasn't your fault."
"Oh. So…" He pinches the bridge of his nose. "So… does that mean… your car hit mine?"
"What?"
"Did we crash into each other?... Or…?"
"Sweetheart, now is not the time to joke around."
"Harry. It's me. YN."
"I'm sorry… I don't know… I don't think we've met…"
Suddenly, your heart stops and you stand up straight, taking a step back from the hospital bed.
"What?" You whisper, turning your head directly to the doctor.
"It's possible he is suffering from some memory loss. There was no brain bleed, but we can order some tests to see if we can get some more answers."
"Thank you Doctor Green." Anne replies.
The nurse checks the monitors and they both exit the room, leaving the three of you alone to process everything that just happened.
"Harry, you really don't remember YN?"
He stares at you and simply shakes his head.
"She is your girlfriend. You live together. You… you love her."
"That… no… what? No… That's not right…" He states, running a hand through his hair, and clearing his throat. The telltale sign that he is nervous. "I'm… I'm with Tabitha…"
Now your heart sinks, and your stomach turns to knots, as Harry claims to be with the woman he was once with. The woman who came before you. The woman who he told you had hurt him tremendously.
"Is she here?" He asks, and you turn around as tears return to the corners of your eyes. "I... would like to see her."
"Sweetheart-"
"No, Anne." You grab her hand and give it a small squeeze. "It's okay."
"Y/N…"
"He's probably overwhelmed, and needs some time. It's okay." You state, hoping your shaky voice seemed steady enough to convince her of some sincerity in your words.
She nods, and you turn back to Harry, displaying the most minimal smile you can manage.
"I'll see about getting you some food."
"Thank you… umm… YN?" He replies. "But please no chicken noodle soup… I hate it."
Your head drops and you let out a deep sigh.
"I know."
You open and exit through the door, taking a couple of steps until you are out of their view. Your hands cover your face and your back slides down against the wall, tears streaming down in a sob as your heart begins to break.
•••
The test results did not bring any comfort. There was nothing visible to indicate any concerning physical trauma, which is actually common.
The neurological exams determined that Harry has good motor function, reflexes, and coordination. But, it was confirmed that Harry was suffering from retrograde amnesia, and it's unknown how long it will take for him to get his memories back, if he ever does.
This is Harry. The love of your life. The man who dragged you outside into a storm because you told him you'd never been kissed in the rain. The man who learned to make your coffee order just so that you could stay just a few extra minutes at home with him before heading to work. The man who sat on the bathroom floor with you, all night, holding you while you cried.
He means everything to you. Everything.
So... how can what they're saying be true?
How can it be true that you mean nothing to him, because he doesn't remember you?
But he doesnt. He does not remember you. He does not remember your relationship, the entire two years and a half years that you've been together. He does not remember your first date, your coffee order, or your love for each other.
As if that wasn't heartbreaking enough, the person he does remember being with, the one he does remember loving, is the one who actually broke his own heart.
Tabitha.
Nothing, literally nothing, can prepare you for this. What are you even supposed to do now?
•••
As you stare out the window, you feel those strong, warm, tattooed arms wrap around you from behind, and Harry's lips on your cheek.
"So…"
"I love it! Absolutely love it!"
"I knew you would! This is ours, Cupcake. Our new home together."
You twirl around to face him, being met with a wide, dimpled grin. You wrap your arms around his neck as your lips hover in front of his.
"I can't wait to get our furniture in here and really make it feel like us. It's what I do best!"
A mischievous smirk displays across his face. "Well, the bed is set up, I can make you feel something right now… I'd like to think that's what I do best."
It has been decided, moderately protested by Harry, that you will take him back to your place. Hopefully the familiar surroundings can help him regain some memories, or at least bring him some comfort.
"I'm sorry the elevator was a bit loud. They keep telling us they'll fix it soon, but you know how that goes…" Your eyes widen with your statement. "Or… umm… I'm sorry."
"S'alright." He states, looking down at his feet as you slide the key into your front door. "I do know how those things go."
"Right. Of course." You shake your head as the door opens, and you toss your keys on the entry table.
Your eyes stay fixated on him as he looks around the place, his gaze stopping every once in a while on different items, but quickly returning to scan his surroundings.
"Do… you remember anything here?" You ask timidly.
"Not really." He lets out a deep sigh. "It, umm, it feels like it could be mine, though."
You stay quiet, continuing to let him embrace the living space.
"Where… umm… where is the bathroom?" He asks. "I'd like to take a shower, if that is okay?"
You clear your throat, hoping to keep yourself steady. "Oh, yeah, it's, uh, right through here."
You make your way to the bathroom, and open the bedroom door.
"Your clothes are in here." You state, opening his drawers.
"Thanks." He replies, grabbing a pair of shorts and his favorite shirt. He's had it forever. Longer than he's known you. Long enough to still remember it.
"I can order some food, if you want." You suddenly state.
He shrugs. "Sure. What's your favorite?"
Tasty Palace. But there's no way you're suggesting that. Maybe not ever again.
"There's Chico's." You reply, staring at your hands as you pick your nails. Harry stays quiet, and when your eyes move back over to see his confused expression, you realize your mistake. "Oh. Umm… it's a Mexican restaurant down the street. You… you like it."
"Okay." He shrugs. "Would… you mind just ordering what you… know… I'll like?"
"Of course." You smile, leaving the room and closing the door behind you.
•••
After sitting in silence, eating as much as you can manage with your new lack of appetite, Harry finally speaks.
"This is awkward to ask…" he swirls his fork around on his plate. "But, are we… going to sleep… in the same bed tonight?"
If you didn't know that the current situation was the cause of the pain, you would've been sure you were having a heart attack. Your chest tightens and your breath escapes you.
It's not even something you had thought about until this moment.
"That's up to you." You look up at him, hoping your expression gives him some ease.
"It's just… because… umm, I feel-"
"Harry, it's okay. This is…" you sigh. "Weird. For you."
"This isn't weird for you?" He asks, and you actually see his subtle, genuine smile push through for a moment. The one he does when he thinks he's done something cheeky.
You can't help but almost cough out a laugh. "Oh, it's definitely weird. But probably not as bad since I'm the one that…"
"Remembers." He nods.
"I can't imagine how you feel. And if sleeping separately is more comfortable for you, then that's what we will do."
"Umm, m'sorry, I think it might." His gaze flickers up to you before shooting back down to his plate.
"Okay." You reply. "Are you wanting to go to bed now?"
He nods.
"Okay. Let me clear the plates and I'll just grab my stuff out of the bedroom."
"What?" His eyes finally meet yours for more than a few seconds, and for a moment, you get lost in them. Those beautiful, bright green eyes that you've stared at a million times.
"Oh, so I can sleep on the futon in the office."
He shakes his head. "Absolutely not. I'll sleep there."
"Harry, you've been laying in a hospital bed for the past few days. You can sleep in the bed. It's fine."
"I can't do that to you. M'sorry. This is your-"
You both fall silent, your gazes immediately dropping to the floor. Your breathing quickens slightly and you look up to him before tears trickle down your cheeks. Your chest is tight, but you don't want to push this and make things more uncomfortable for him than it already is.
"Okay. Thank you. But let me know if you change your mind." You state, doing the best to send him a smile.
"Alright." He quietly replies.
You grab his pillow, a clean sheet, along with one of his most used blankets, and help him make it comfortable.
Once it's done, you both stand there, staring at the bed, not really knowing what to do next.
"Well, uh, yeah, goodnight." You mutter, maneuvering your way towards your bedroom, and stopping in the doorway.
"Goodnight, YN."
"I love you." Your eyes widen immediately and you wince at your words.
"Oh… umm… yeah… I…"
"It's okay, Harry. I'm sorry. Have a good night." You blurt out, rushing to the bedroom and closing the door.
You immediately flop onto your bed, simply shimmying off your pants, and curling under the covers. The bed feels larger, and colder. It doesn't feel right. But of course, none of this feels right.
Suddenly, the sobbing starts, and you bury your head in your pillow, hoping and praying and wishing -doing anything and everything you can- to have your Harry back in the morning.
•••
As your body begins to shift, your mind begins to wake up, and you can smell the scent of breakfast wafting through the house.
You open your eyes and instinctively reach over to the other side of the bed, before sighing and getting up to throw on some comfortable clothes.
You walk out and see Harry fumbling his way through the kitchen, opening and closing some cabinets before moving on to the next.
"Good morning." You state softly.
"Oh fuck!" He shouts, jumping and spinning around to see your face. "M'sorry, umm yeah, good morning."
He pulls his lips inward, telling you he is embarrassed by his reaction.
"Sorry I scared you." You chuckle.
"S'alright." He replies, a tiny blush appearing in his cheeks. "M'trying to find the mugs…"
"Oh!" You move into the kitchen, standing next to him, feeling his warmth, and point to the cabinet above you. "You were almost there."
"Fucks sake." He mumbles as he shakes his head, opening it up and looking at his options. He points to a white one, with a smirk growing on his face. "Whose is this?"
Your eyes follow his finger to the mug with big, bold letters printed on it, spelling out the words 'Fuck it'. You can't help but giggle.
"Yours."
His smirk grows a bit deeper to show off your favorite dimple. "Yeah, that tracks."
He pulls it down and fills it up. "I still… umm… drink black coffee, yeah?"
You nod. You bring down a plain mug, filling it up and adding some vanilla caramel creamer from the fridge.
"So… I, umm… took a while to find everything, but I made some pancakes if you want some... I hope that's okay?"
"Of course it is. They're your favorite." You clear your throat. "Thank you."
He plates a few for the both of you and moves to sit at the kitchen table, followed closely by you.
"You have an appointment this morning." You state, causing him to look up from his plate.
"Already?" He asks, his brow furrowing in the way it always does when he is slightly confused.
"I guess that's normal with brain injuries." You quietly reply. Just saying those words makes you feel queasy.
"M'kay." He shrugs.
"But your mom wants to have us over later, if you want to do that."
"Yes!" Harry exclaims, excitement in his tone for the first time since last week.
"Alright. Good." You nod, taking one last bite of pancakes before standing to clear your plate.
You move around your chair, your plate in hand, and lean down over Harry's head, placing a kiss on top.
He clears his throat and his eyes flicker up to you for only a moment before you straighten up.
"Shit." You mumble. "I'm so sorry. It's just a habit. Well… for me… not for you, I guess… not anymore… I need to shut up."
Your free hand covers your face and you stumble into your chair as you try to make your way into the kitchen.
As you place your plate in the sink, trying to compose yourself, you hear Harry's chair squeak across the floor and feel his warm presence close by.
"Umm…" Harry utters. "M'sorry this is weird for you too, YN."
Your eyes shoot up to his. His gorgeous green eyes, that once looked at you with vibrancy, but now just stare back at you with uncertainty.
"It's…" you inhale a deep breath, turning your gaze back down to the sink. "It's not about me. It's about you. Getting you… back to you…"
He chuckles, placing his plate on top of yours in the sink, and beginning to walk toward the office. "Whatever that means."
Exactly. What does that even mean? Because, who is he now? What if he never gets back to being… your Harry?
•••
"So, Harry, how are you feeling this morning?" Dr. Green asks.
"M'fine." Harry reluctantly replies.
"How are you really feeling?" She asks again.
He sighs, looking down at his hands and fidgeting with his rings. "Sore."
"What's sore?"
"Everything."
She nods, typing his answers into her computer, then looking over to you.
"And what about motor function, balance, things like that? Have you noticed any changes Miss YLN?"
You sit up straighter, not realizing you'd be asked any questions. "Uh… everything has seemed fine."
"Good. Good." She types again. "And now, let's discuss memory. Any improvement?"
Your head drops down too and you hear Harry sigh.
"I… umm… it's… it's just…" He stutters.
You quickly look over to him, watching his fidgeting increase, and turn your gaze to Dr. Green.
You lean over, placing your hand on Harry's forearm like you always did when he was anxious.
"I'll wait in the lobby." You state. He lifts his head and looks over to you, only responding with a nod.
You get up, your chest tight at the thought of Harry, your Harry, feeling more comfortable without you by his side.
You exit the room and find the closest chair, starting to feel faint again, like you did that first night in the hospital.
"Are you alright, Miss?"
You look up to see a nurse glancing over from the front desk of the office.
"Yeah. I'm okay. Just…" You breathe in to try and gain some control of your lungs. "It's just a lot."
"These things are." She nods. "But he's lucky to have you here with him."
"Mhmm." You mumble.
"It's so important and helpful to have the people who love him, and who he loves, around to support him."
You scrunch your face, staring at the ground, as your heart starts to sink.
The people who love him. Yes. But the people who he loves? That might not be you anymore.
The door opens and you stand up to join Harry as he shakes the doctor's hand.
"As long as nothing gets worse, we will see you in a week, Mr. Styles." She looks at you and you nod in confirmation. "Remember to relax and let your brain heal itself. Don't pressure yourself. But do those few, small tasks to exercise it too. It could help regain those memories for you."
"Thank you Dr. Green." Harry replies.
You shake her hand and lead Harry back to the car.
As you settle into the driver's seat, you look over to see a solemn expression on his face.
"Would you like to go back home… back to the apartment… first? Or straight to your mom's?"
He perks up at the last suggestion. "My mum's! Umm… yes, my mum's please."
"Sounds good."
"You… umm… know the way. Yeah?" He mutters.
"Yep." You state casually. "I do."
•••
"Should I bring something? I feel like I should bring something."
"You're biting your thumbnail again."
"I'm nervous!" You exclaim.
"You're really cute when you're nervous." Harry smirks.
"I'm meeting your mum. I want her to like me!"
Harry stands up from the couch, walking over and pressing his body right up against yours, the sweet scent of his favorite Tom Ford cologne instantly calming you.
"She's gonna love ya." He states, kissing your forehead as you grab onto his arms. "How could she not? I do!"
The drive to Anne's house is usually quick, but feels painfully long today, with your thudding heartbeat being the only noise you can hear on the car ride over.
You let out a small sigh of relief as you pull up into the driveway, but feel a little disappointed when you hear Harry do the same.
Anne immediately opens the door once you knock, and wraps Harry into a big hug.
"Bloody hell, Mum. I'd like to breathe, if that's alright." Harry whines.
"I get to hug you as tight as I bloody well please, thank you very much." She replies, releasing him and pushing him into the house.
"Alright, fair enough. M'gonna grab something to eat." He walks right through the doorway and straight into the kitchen.
"At least he still remembers where things are in this house." You sigh.
"So nothing's changed?" She whispers, shutting the door behind you, as you both stand in the entryway.
You shake your head and cross both arms around your body.
"I don't know what to do Anne."
She wraps you into a big hug, one palm rubbing up and down your back for comfort.
"It'll be alright, darling. I just know it will." She pulls away, grabbing both sides of your face and lifting it to meet her intense gaze. "It'll be alright. I love my son, but I also love you, and I'm here for you too. Yes?"
"Okay." You whisper, choking back to lump in your throat.
"Let's go sit." She suggests, guiding you into the living room. As you walk in, you see Harry sprawled across the sofa, humming a tune and peeling a banana. He looks comfortable right there. But even better, or maybe worse, he also looks happy right there.
"Your sister will be by in a bit." Anne states, causing Harry to look up with a distinctly mischievous smirk. More noticeable than the one last night. It shows off one dimple, his left one, every time. It's a dead giveaway that he's about to throw out some major sass.
"I remember her being a pain in the ass." He chuckles. "I remember that correctly, yeah?"
"Harry…"
"M'just checking, Mum. Just tryna remember the important thing-" His eyes shoot over to yours and your stomach drops. You do your best to give him a small smile, and even a shrug, hoping he will believe that you don't mind.
Because who wouldn't mind the love of their life not even remembering that they love you, right?
The doorbell rings and you are snapped out of your thoughts, thankfully, as you see Gemma walking through the door.
"YN! Lady! I've missed you!" She exclaims, walking over and giving you a tight hug. "I'd ask how you've been but…"
She pulls away, holding both of your shoulders in her grasp, and stares into your eyes.
"Yeah." You shrug.
"M'fine by the way!" Harry shouts, grabbing his head and groaning from raising his voice. You reach in your bag and hand some medication to Gemma, as she makes her way over to him.
"Okay, lil brother, this'll be a rare sappy moment from me…" She hands him the pill and squats down next to his spot on the sofa. "But, I'm so glad you're okay. How are you feeling?"
"Yeah. Umm. M'fine, I guess. Everything hurts." He mumbles as he swallows the medication. His eyes flicker over to you before looking back to her. "And m'confused as fuck."
You grab a glass from the cupboard and pour some water, taking a gulp to swallow the lump in your throat.
Gemma's gaze then flickers over to you, and you see her smile. "Well, I know YN has always been good at taking care of you when you're sick so you're in good hands."
"M'not sick, Gem. I'm injured." He replies, with the stern furrow of his brow, that you know means he's fully serious.
"I know. Still applies." Gemma shrugs, kissing his forehead and standing back up.
"Harry, sweetheart, I pulled out a photo album." Anne states, pulling a large book off of the kitchen counter. "I thought you could take a look. Maybe it'll help to jog your memory."
"Can I please just relax first?" He sighs, leaning his head against the back of the sofa. "Feels good to finally relax."
"But-"
You place your hand on Anne's. "He's right. He should relax."
She returns your gaze with the most compassionate expression that eyes can give someone, and reluctantly nods.
"Maybe later then." She replies, placing the photo album back on the counter.
"Mhmm." He hums, placing his hands behind his head and closing his eyes.
Anne motions for you and Gemma to follow her to the backyard, and you walk out to the patio.
You sit down in a large, cushioned patio chair, and bring your knees up to your chest, wrapping your arms around them for comfort.
"So, what did the doctor say?" Anne asks.
"Not much when I was in the room." You shrug. "Just that he needs to relax, not to pressure himself too much."
"Anything about his memory loss?" Gemma asks, and you shake your head.
"I guess she gave him some things he can do to help but…" You sigh. "I don't know."
"YN. It'll be alright." Anne states.
"I know he'll be fine." You reply, feeling your voice start to shake and some tears start to form. "But… I'm… I'm like a stranger to him now."
Anne shakes her head. "He'll remember."
"He loves you!" Gemma adds.
As you rest your chin on your knees, the tears begin to fall.
"Does he? Because I'm worried he won't remember that he does. And…" Your breath begins to quicken. "I'm worried he won't again."
They both move to sit on either side of you, on the arms of the chair, and run their hands up and down your back.
"It's been one day." Anne whispers. "I know it's hard. Give it a bit of time. He loves and adores you. He'll remember. It'll be alright."
You don't respond. You just bury your face in your knees and begin to let the tears flow freely. Anne kisses your head and both ladies stand up.
"We'll be inside." She whispers, and you hear the back door shut.
You know she's right. It's only day one and you're thinking the worst? You can't give up that quickly. And you have got to be strong for him.
You let out the last few tears that are sitting at the corners of your eyes, take in a deep breath, and shake out your hands.
You make your way back inside and to the living room to find Anne, Harry, and Gemma sitting on the sofa, flipping through the photo album Anne had pulled out earlier.
"These are your students at a recital last year." Anne states, directing Harry's attention to a photo in the middle of the page. In it, he had a huge grin of his face as he kneeled between three kids, their instruments in hand.
"So I still work at Edison Arts Academy?" He asks, looking up at his mom with a smile, seeing her nod. "Good."
"And this is you, Sarah, and Mitch at a gig downtown." Gemma points to another photo. "You remember them right?"
"F'course!" He exclaims. "But… we actually played gigs? That used to just be a dream I had."
"You were… are… really good." You chime in.
"I'd hope so. Otherwise I'd be glad to not remember embarrassing m'self."
He looks over the rest of the page and flips it over, landing on one filled with photos of just the two of you. Things he remembers absolutely nothing about.
"I… we… went to Jamaica?" He questions, his finger placed on top of a specific photo, which you took as he sat in front of a jerk chicken stand.
"Yes. You, YN, and a few of your friends." Anne responds.
"Never… I never thought I'd do that…"
"You volunteered for a summer program over there, to help teach kids to read music." You state.
"Oh… okay… that makes sense." He quickly looks to his side to meet your gaze. "So, do you teach as well?"
"Oh. No. You had asked me to go with you all. So we could have a little vacation together too." You clear your throat and sit up straighter.
"Oh." He looks back down at the photos. "That sounds nice."
You smile to yourself, remembering the late nights with everyone on the beach and the fit of giggles you burst into when trying to get up on the surfboards. Remembering the walks around the town with a delicious Jamaican coffee in one hand, and Harry gripping onto the other. Remembering the glow he constantly had on his face after those morning classes, beaming with pride over a student who had learned to play a new song.
"It really was."
He flips through some more pages, stopping to look at some photos of Christmas spent with his whole family, a couple of his cousin's new baby, and one particular photo that you didn't even know existed until this moment.
Anne holds the page down before Harry can move on, pulling out the photo and holding it in both of her hands.
"This is one of my favorites of you two."
You lean in closer, as does Harry, and see yourself sitting next to him on a piano bench. Your head is resting on his shoulder as his fingers press down on the keys.
"When was this?" You ask, looking back up at Anne.
"It was last spring, when I was really sick." She replies. "You both took the day off to take care of me. And when I came out from an afternoon nap, seeing this, I…"
She pauses and wipes some tears from her cheeks, holding the photo against her chest before bringing it back down to her lap.
"S'alright, Mum." Harry says, gently, rubbing his hand over hers. "What were you saying?"
She looks over to him with a smile, and then to you, turning her body slightly more towards yours. "It was the moment I knew that you truly loved Harry. And that we were important to you too."
Your eyes fill with tears again as you wrap each other in a hug.
"It's going to be alright." She whispers, pulling away and nodding when she meets your eyes.
Your attention is suddenly taken by Harry, watching as he pinches the bridge of his nose and groans.
"Fuck. This is a lot…" He mumbles. "I think I need to take a break."
"I'm sorry." You scoot away on the couch.
"No… you don't… you don't need to be sorry." He states, quickly meeting your gaze. "It's just…"
"A lot." You sigh.
He nods.
"Umm… I was thinking… I'll take a nap."
"Yeah, that's good." You reply.
"Mum, does my old room still have a bed?"
"It's a guest room, so yes. There's extra blankets in the closet." Anne states.
"My favorite one?"
Anne looks over to you, and you begin to bite your thumbnail, before quickly composing yourself and looking back up to him.
"It's at our place. You brought it with you when we moved in."
"Oh… okay. S'fine." He mutters, giving his mom a kiss on her forehead and stopping next to you. "I'll… be in there then."
You give him a small smile and turn around to watch him walk down the hallway.
"Do you want to take a nap too darling? You can use my bed, I just put on fresh sheets." Anne asks. "You deserve a rest too."
"No. Thank you." You sigh. "I think I'm gonna use the restroom and then sit outside again."
She gives you a kiss on your temple and moves to put away the photo album, so you head to the bathroom.
As you get inside, you splash some water on your face and dry off with a towel. You place your hands on either side of the sink, staring down at the drain, and wonder what it would be like to just get washed away. Find yourself somewhere else, and not have to deal with all of this.
You shake your head to shake out those thoughts. You can't feel sorry for yourself. Harry is going through a much harder time than you, and feeling down isn't going to help anyone. You're here for him. He needs you, even if he doesn't know it. He needs you, right?
You open the bathroom door and begin to walk back down the hallway, when you hear some hushed chatter coming from the guest room. You can't help but to stop where you are, unsure if you should listen in, but unable to move in any other direction.
"It's just weird, Mum. It's so weird." Harry whispers. "I don't know her."
"You do, Harry. You know her, and you love her." Anne replies.
"Everything is just so strange. So different. So confusing." You hear him sigh. "Like, this guest room feels more familiar than that flat I apparently have now."
"Just give it time, sweetheart." She utters. "I promise, it's a great life you have now."
You hear him sigh again, and your chest feels tight. It hurts that things aren't back to normal, but it hurts more that it's causing him so much uneasiness.
You head to the kitchen, turning on the sink and grabbing the dish soap.
Anne walks in and stands right next to you. "You're doing this to distract yourself, aren't you?"
You look up at her and nod. She knows you. You love that she knows you. At least one of them does.
"Alright. I'll be watching some shows. You don't need to clean the whole house, so join me when you're done."
"I will."
"YN…" She squints in your direction, waiting until you meet her gaze. "Please. Come relax with me when you're done."
"Okay. I will."
•••
Footsteps down the hallway cause you to look up from your phone, and sit up on the sofa.
Harry appears, running his hand through his hair as he looks over to you.
"Hi." You utter. "Good nap?"
"Mhmm." He replies. "Definitely need it. Where's my mum?"
He looks around the room.
"Oh, uh, she got called into work. And Gemma had some plans or something."
"Alright…" He replies. "So, should… we just head out then?"
"If you want to."
He shrugs. "Nothing else to really do, s'pose."
"Right. Okay."
You both grab your things and head to the car.
As you pull out of the driveway and head down the main road, you turn on the radio. You figure it'll feel like a long trip back, so some music will help ease the uncomfortable silence.
"I love this song." Harry states, as the first chords of a Rolling Stones song begin to play.
"You sing it all the time." You reply. "You actually play it at some of your gigs."
"I do?" He rubs the back of his neck, a sign that he feels awkward. "Guess that makes sense."
He turns to look out the window, tapping his fingers on his thigh, and humming along to the song.
"Hey… umm… would you rather stay at your mom's house?" You sigh, readying yourself for the answer you assume is soon to follow.
There is silence. You're not sure if that's any better than a quick response.
"Harry?" You utter, looking over to him as he stares out the car window.
"Hmm?" His head turns to you. "Sorry."
"It's okay." You look back to the road. "I was just saying, uh, that if you'd rather stay with your mom then I understand."
Out of the corner of your eye, you can see his head drop as he fidgets with his hands. He's nervous.
"I… umm… no." He utters, and your head shoots back over to him. "It's… it's only fair to you… for me to try to, like, remember…"
"I don't want to put any pressure on you." You reply, trying to hold back the sudden, but subtle, fluttering you feel inside.
"No. No. You're not." He gives you a small smile, then furrows his brow slightly as he looks back down. "I want to… remember… I want to make sense of things. Y'know?"
"Yeah." You nod, turning back to the road with a tiny smile yourself.
Maybe this will work out. Maybe it will actually be alright. Maybe you'll get your Harry back.
"Is there anything specific you wanna know? Or do?" You ask timidly.
"Umm…" He shrugs. "What do you do? Like… for a job?"
"I'm an interior decorator for businesses."
"What does that entail?"
"I help businesses create an interior atmosphere that works best for the space that they have." You pause, noticing out of the corner of your eye that his gaze is fixated on you. He's always been an attentive listener, and it's nice to see that hasn't changed. "But, in basic terms, I pick wall colors and help place furniture in offices and restaurants."
He chuckles, and god you've missed that sound.
"I once heard… that the color blue… helps to decrease your appetite… like mindless snacking."
You unintentionally let out a big laugh.
"Is… is that wrong?" He asks quietly.
You shake your head and take a few breaths to calm down your reaction.
"No." You giggle once more, then clear your throat and completely compose yourself. "No. It's right. You just… you said the exact same thing the first time I told you what I do."
"I see." He chuckles again. "So… where… where did we meet?"
You instinctually bite your lower lip, looking over at him to see his wide eyes and lips pulled in, the expression he uses when he is calmly waiting for an answer from you.
"At a coffee shop called Way Cup."
"Way Cup?" He smiles. "Oh I get it. Clever."
"We… can go there if you want?" You bite the inside of your cheek, nervous and uncertain of what his answer will be, and how it'll feel to take him there.
"Umm… sure! Sounds nice." He agrees, and a mild flittering reappears inside.
•••
"Oh shit! Oh my god! I am so sorry!"
"S'alright." Harry chuckles. "Minor wounds to my sweater."
You shake the coffee off your hands, throw the now empty cup away, and pick up the cupcake you had just dropped on the ground.
"Poor thing didn't serve it's purpose."
"M'sorry… what?" Harry asks, causing you to finally look up to see the most beautiful green eyes you've ever come across.
"I… uh…" You let out a breathy exhale of a laugh. "I was treating myself. The cupcake was my reward. Now that it's on the ground, it doesn't get to do the job it was made for."
And now you are witness to the deepest, dimpled smile you've ever laid eyes on.
"That's poetic." He replies.
"Also makes me feel less guilty for indulging in it."
He looks down at the hand of yours that's covered in frosting, and then down at his sweater.
"Well, I think I need to get some napkins inside. And I'd love to help another cupcake achieve it's baked good goals. Can I buy you another, and a coffee?"
You feel your cheeks flush.
"It was my fault. You don't need to do that."
"I'd like to. To be fair, I wasn't really paying attention either." He motions towards the cafe door and you nod, leading the way back inside.
You reach the counter and order a foamed vanilla latte with caramel and another cupcake.
"Wow. You really like your sugar."
"Hey, I told you I am treating myself." You smile. "Plus, isn't that how life should be?"
"How's that?" He asks, with a raised eyebrow and a smirk to match his curiosity.
"Sweet." You bite your lower lip. "Life should always be sweet."
You both sit in silence at your table by the front window.
"So we met in this coffee shop." He nods as he stares down at his mug.
"Technically outside."
"Right." He nods again. "And we came here a lot?"
"Yeah."
"Hmm." He continues his head movements. "I just… wasn't normally one to… go out for coffee…"
"Yeah." You shrug.
"How long ago?... Like… how long ago did we meet?"
You begin to bite your thumbnail as you pretend to do a quick calculation in your head. But you know the answer.
"About two and a half years ago."
"Two and a half years?" He exclaims. "I've lost two and a half years?"
"Well…"
"What?" He looks up to you and scrunches his face.
"It's more like, three years. If…" You feel a knot forming in your stomach. "If you remember being with your ex…"
"For fucks sake!"
He rests his elbows on the table and runs his hands over his face.
"M'sorry, Harry." You whisper, holding back the tears beginning to appear.
"I just… I don't…" He sighs, now resting his face in his hands. "How can I… not remember?"
"I need to know something." You state timidly.
"Alright…"
"What is the last thing that you do actually remember?" You immediately regret asking, your heart bracing itself for some hurt that is inevitably headed in your direction.
His eyes shoot up to yours.
"Are you sure?... Like, I don't…" He clears his throat. "I don't want to… make you uncomfortable…"
"I want to know." You shrug, looking down and biting your nail again. "Maybe we can figure out where to start."
"Well… I remember… getting ready for an event…" He furrows his brow, wrapping one arm across his body and bringing the other hand to pull on his lower lip. "A fancy event. I was in a suit."
You know. You know exactly what event it was.
"I think…" You sigh, feeling another large knot forming within. "I think I might have a way to help you out, with the memories."
"What's that?"
"I think there's someone who could maybe help clear things up…"
"Oh?" Harry perks up. "Who?"
Your eyes squeeze shut, and so does your heart, as you take in a deep breath. You can't believe you are about to say it.
"Tabitha."

enjoy !
* * *
(completed)
y/n stark & peter parker have known each other since they were in eighth grade & have been inseparable best friends ever since. but in the aftermath of thanos’s destruction & the losses they’ve both endured, y/n & peter must navigate a new understanding of who they are to one another all through snarky comments, badass fights, devoted friends, & a whole lot of hilarious moments & eye rolls (usually from y/n). this trilogy follows peter & y/n from the summer going into their senior year of high school through their senior year in college, along with 30 blurbs to shed some light on their lives together before, during & after the trilogy.
* * *
(sequel in progress)
y/n met peter parker one time at the one of the university bus stops & shared a pizza with him in the rain. he seemed like the nicest kid & so when y/n sees peter in the hospital only a couple weeks later looking like a shell of the boy she’d once met, well, y/n’s always felt a calling to helping people. so why not help peter parker? plus, he’s super cute so that also is a huge help.
to put it plainly, y/n loves helping other people & feels some sort of connection to a curly-headed kid with one arm that she hardly knows, peter is tired & can’t seem to catch a break & is kind of an asshole. & it would seem that even though felicia & peter broke up & were never even really together, felicia still has some plans for the two of them. also no one likes gwen stacey, mj takes up a new hobby called vandalism & y/n’s roommates get arrested for something they didn’t do.

pairing: frat!Tom Holland x Reader
chapter one: somebody like you
series masterlist
“Strippers here!” Harry Holland, co chair of the Delta Nu fraternity house shouted over his shoulder when he opened the door. Behind him, a party was in full swing, making your throat go dry.
“Hilarious. Where’s Harrison?” Your roommate, Peyton, asked as she linked her arm through hers.
“Last I saw him he was carrying kegs to the kitchen.” Harry shrugged.
“Thanks. Move.” Peyton slipped her hand into yours and pushed past Harry. You held on tightly to her hand as she pulled you through the house. Frat parties at your college were known to be over the top, especially at Delta Nu. You normally wouldn’t be caught dead at a party, but Peyton practically dragged you away from your desk and forced you to come.
“There he is.” She spotted Harrison. “Come on.”
“Wow. Nice of you to finally show up.” Harrison said as you and Peyton walked up to him.
“Yeah well it took me a minute to get this one out of the dorm.” Peyton said without ever dropping your hand.
“Who’s this?“ Harrison nodded towards you.
“Are you kidding?” Peyton asked him.
“Dude, we’ve met like 6 times.” You said.
“We have?” Harrison looked you up and down as he scratched his head.
“This is Y/n. My roommate.” Peyton stated like it was obvious. “I swear, you don’t listen to a word I say.”
“I’m the one you’re always kicking out so you two can do that whatever is it that you do.” You reminded him.
“Ohhhh. I do know you.” Harrison remembered. “Sorry, I’ve just never seen you not hunched over a desk.”
Wow. Just how every girl wants to be described. Hunched.” You smiled tightly and gave Peyton a look.
“This is a woman in STEM.” Peyton said as she put her hands on your shoulders. “She does not hunch. She slouches.”
“She also doesn’t want to be here.” You chimed in. “Can I please go?”
“Come on. Live a little. We don’t let just anybody into this party.” Harrison said as he handed you and Peyton a red solo cup.
“I can see that. Lot of white guys in here.” You noted as you looked around.
“That’s not true.” Harrison scoffed and looked around. Harrison realized you were right and his smile fell.
“Oh shit. Sam! Get over here. Its happening again!” He called and ran off to find Sam.
“Can I go now? You found Harrison. I don’t need to be here.” You said to Peyton once you were alone again.
“Why? So you can go back to the room and study? It’s Friday night. You have been studying your ass off all week. You should stay and have some fun.” Peyton smiled encouragingly as she played with the ends of your hair.
“I have a calculus midterm on Monday and a lab due tomorrow night.” You whined. “I can’t be wasting time here. Plus, I can see like 12 health code violations in this room alone.”
“I know. We can’t have fairy lights because it’s a “safety hazard” but frat houses can have literal weapons hanging on the walls?” She rolled her eyes and nodded towards the swords mounted on the wall beside you.
“I’m back. Did you miss me?” Harrison asked as he slung an arm around Peyton.
“I did.” Peyton smiled at him.
“I didn’t.” You mumbled.
“You’re in luck Y/n. I brought a friend with me.” Harrison told you as he pushed a boy forward. The boy had a backwards cap on and smirk on your face, the kind that immediately made you roll your eyes.
“Hey. I’m Tom.” He nodded at you as he unapologetically checked you out.
“And I’m gonna head out. Thanks for the drinks.” You smiled tightly and handed your cup back to Harrison. As you were walking towards the door, you felt your phone buzz. You pulled it out and found a text from Peyton.
“Please don’t go! I’m not gonna stay long and I really don’t want to walk back to our dorm alone :((((((“ She had sent you. You let out a sigh and stopped walking. You didn’t want to stay at the party, but you couldn’t let her walk home alone.
“I’ll be downstairs. don’t get pregnant!!!!” You texted.
“I won’t!!!!!” She sent back. A few seconds later, she texted you again.
“I might!!!!” It read, making you laugh. You walked back into the house and found a somewhat quiet hallway. You pushed your way past a few people making out and nestled into a corner. You pulled your dress down to make it longer, which just made it lower up top. Party clothes made you deeply uncomfortable so you covered yourself with your arms and pulled out your phone.
“Could you look anymore miserable?” Tom asked as he leaned his arm up on the wall beside you.
“Don’t bother.” You said without looking up from your phone.
“Don’t bother with what?” Tom played dumb as he looked you up and down.
“With me. It’s not gonna happen.”
“What’s not gonna happen?” He continued to play dumb as he leaned in a little closer. You gave him a look before stepping away from him.
“Sorry. I didn’t realize you’re as dumb as you look. I mean just because our roommates are off somewhere getting hepatitis c, it doesn’t mean you and I are gonna hook up.” You said as you went back to your phone.
“Who said I wanted to hook up with you?” Tom shrugged. “You’re kinda mean and kinda hurt my feelings just now.”
“Isn’t that how this thing works?” You asked him. “She brings a friend, me, to keep his friend, you, busy while they sneak off to do god knows what in this hell house?”
“For your information, love, this is a highly respected establishment.” Tom stated. “You are standing in the universities longest running and most awarded fraternity. It is not a hell house.”
As soon as Tom finished his sentence, a light fell down from the ceiling. A group of girls ran by you, the one in the middle puking on the ground. A boy started sliding down the banister and fell off halfway, landing on the ground with a hard thud.
“That almost never happens.” He told you, making you laugh. You decided to let your guard down just a little and look up at him.
“Okay. Sorry I was so rude. I just assumed you were an asshole.” You admitted.
“Aw. You did? You thought that about little old me?” He smiled and held his hand over his heart. You laughed a little as another guy in a frat shirt came up to the two of you.
“Tom we need more kegs out-“
Tom shoved him away by his face before leaning on the wall beside you.
“So do you have a name?” He smiled. “Or should I just call you rude goth girl crashing my party.”
“I’m Y/n. And I’m not goth.”
“I’m sorry. I just assumed you were goth.” Tom held you his hands in defense.
“Why?”
“Because you’re dressed like a witch.” He shrugged, making you let out a shocked laugh.
“Wearing a black dress does not automatically mean I’m dressed like a witch.” You insisted.
“In your opinion.” He said out of the corner of his mouth. His tone was playful, so you smiled a little.
“What was your name again?” You asked him.
“Tom. But my frat brothers call me T-bag.”
“Well since I’m not one of your frat brothers, I’m gonna stick with Tom. Do I want to know why they call you that?”
“No. You do not.” He smiled and shot you a wink.
“I figured.”
“Do you really think I look dumb, by the way? Because I thought turning my hat backwards would show how innovative and creative I am.” He said as he gestured to his hat.
“I don’t know.” You clicked your tongue. “Let me see the logo.“
“No logo. It’s just gray.” He said as he took the hat off to show you.
“Just gray?” You laughed. “Then why wear it?”
“So I can give it to pretty girls to mark my territory.” He smiled as he put the hat on your head.
“Mark your territory? Wow. That’ll do it. That will do it.” You blew out a breath and started to walk away.
“I didn’t mean it like that, love. No.” Tom laughed as he pulled you back towards him by the hand.
“You were doing so well too.” You told him. “Like shocking well. Then you said that.”
“I meant so that my brothers don’t flirt with the girl I’m respectfully trying to court.” Tom explained himself.
“Ohhh. You’re trying to court me?” You played along. “I thought you were trying to fuck. Damn. I have to go.”
“Don’t go, pretty girl.” He whined. “I haven’t even used all my best tricks yet.”
“I can tell. That hat thing was super cringy.”
“You’re funny. For a witch, I mean.” He said, making you look down at your phone as you laughed.
“What are you doing anyway?” Tom asked as he looked over your shoulder to see what you were doing on your phone.
“Are you serious? You’re just playing with your settings?” He laughed at you when he saw what you were doing.
“Shut up.” You laughed in embarrassment. “I don’t like parties.”
“Oh. Is it because you’re quirky and different and not like other girls?”
“Dude. Did you even look at my shoes?”
“Oh! Sneakers and a dress. How did I miss that?” Tom asked as he looked down at your choice of footwear. Peyton forced you into one of her dresses, but she could not force you into heels.
“I don’t know.” You shrugged. “You must’ve been too busy chugging beer through your butt or whatever it is you frat boys do.”
“You got it.” Tom nodded. “We chug beer through our butts. Like literally all the time.”
You laughed at him again and this time, put your phone away to give him your full attention. Tom noticed the way your body language went from tense to relaxed, so he felt like he was doing was working.
“So let me see if I can get this.” He began. “Standing off by herself at a a party, was dragged here by her more outgoing roomate, and showed up in converse and a dress that she was probably forced into wearing. Is it you? Are you the manic pixie dream girl who is about to change the directory of my life?”
“I don’t know. I’m not really looking to make any friends. I hate this town. I hate everyone in it. Each person is faker than the next. Nobody cares about art anymore. It’s like they’re all just zombies waiting to do what the man tells them next.” You played along as you mashed together every cliche thing you’d ever heard a female character say.
“Wow.” Tom smiled in amazement. “That was so accurate. I’m genuinely impressed.”
“I watch a lot of movies.” You smiled shyly at his compliment.
“I could tell. You missed the part where her parents want her to be their perfect little princess, though.”
“But that’s not her.” You added to his description.
“Nope.” He shook his head. “She’s different. She listens to rock music and grunge bands. Shes and outcast who just wants to see the world.”
“She wants to experience new things and new people.” You continued.
“But she’s never going to do that. Because her main purpose is to propel the boy in the right direction.”
“Her ambitions are just decorations.” You shrugged.
“But-“ Tom began and pointed his finger at you to finish his sentence.
“She’s the coolest girl you’ve ever met.” You said in unison. You both laughed as you mumbled “jinx” and shyly looked down at the ground. He was the last person you’d ever expect to be talking to you at this party. Even more surprising was the fact that he was the funniest guy you’d ever spoken to on campus.
“To be honest with you, I’m kinda surprised you knew what a manic pixie dream girl was.” You told him.
“I watch movies when I’m not not drinking alcohol through my butt.” He shrugged.
“Like rom coms?”
“Hell yeah.” He scoffed. “I love rom coms. Especially anything with Katherine Heigl or Sandra Bullock.”
“I love them too.” You laughed shyly. “Especially Sandra. I’ve seen The Proposal like a thousand times.”
“My personal favorite is Miss Congeniality. But The Proposal is a close second. I’m a big Ryan Reynolds guy.”
“I didn’t peg you for a rom com guy.“ You said as you leaned against the wall.
“Who said anything about pegging?” Tom scoffed. “At least buy me dinner first.”
You laughed at his joke, no matter how dumb it was, as you rolled your eyes to the ceiling. You laughing made him laugh and he was beginning to grow awfully fond of your smile.
“Okay.” You decided once your laughter died down.
“Okay what?”
“I like talking to you. Let me buy you dinner.” You shrugged.
“No. I’m not doing that.” Tom shook his head, making your smile fall.
“A gentleman always pays on the first date.” He continued. “Plus, my fraternity gets unlimited meal swipes.”
“That’s so elitist.” You bit your bottom lip as he propped his arm up on the wall beside you.
“I know.” He smiled as he started to lean in. Just as you were leaning in, Peyton returned to your side.
“There you are. I’ve been looking all over. I won’t torture you anymore. We can go.” She told you, making your smile fall a little.
“Oh. Yeah. Thanks.” You nodded and gave Tom an apologetic look.
“Oh. Hi Tom.” Peyton smirked when she realized who you were talking to.
“Hi Peyton.” Tom waved. “How is he?”
“Knocked out right after as usual.” Peyton sighed. “Are you ready to go?“
“Actually, I think I’m gonna stay.” You said as you leaned back against the wall and nodded towards Tom. Peyton bit back a smile and you gave her a look that told her to chill out.
“Okay. I’ll stick around too then. But you’re still texting me every hour with updates.” She told you as she cupped your face in her hands.
“I know the rules.” You rolled your eyes. Peyton pulled you into a hug so she would whisper in your ear.
“Don’t let him take you to a secondary location. More importantly, have fun. And don’t get pregnant.” She whispered, but Tom heard and snorted.
“Please? Just this once?“ You sarcastically begged her.
“I’d make a hell of a dad.” Tom said as he slung an arm around you.
“All right.” Peyton smiled. “Have fun you two.”
“We will.” You rolled your eyes again but appreciated her protection over you.
“I’ll take care of her.” Tom said. “I promise.”
Peyton gave you one last look before leaving you with Tom. You watched her as she disappeared back into the party and felt your heart speed up a little bit. You’d never been in this situation before and you were staring to worry that you were in over your head.
“So where were we?” Tom asked as he leaned his arm against the wall.
“I don’t know.” You shrugged with a coy smile.
“Oh, shoot. I can’t remember either.” Tom tapped his chin. “I think we were talking about - op, nope. We were about to kiss. That was definitely it.”
“Hm. I don’t think so. I’m remembering it differently.”
“I’m pretty sure we were about to kiss. Our faces were here, remember?” Tom smiled as he leaned in closer to you. You gasped a little as your eyes flicked from his eyes to his lips.
“Well now I’m starting to remember.” You replied, trying to sound more confident then you felt.
“Let me jog your memory then.” Tom whispered in your ear before leaning in the rest of the way. He pressed you up against the wall as he kissed you and suddenly, the party went quiet. You’d never kissed a stranger before so you didn’t know where to put your hands, but Tom knew exactly where to put his. He kept one on your hip and the other on your face as he kissed you. Your could taste the beer on his tongue and smiled a little into the kiss. You slowly gained more confidence and tangled your fingers in his hair, accidentally knocking his hat off.
“Do you want to go to my room?” He asked between kisses.
“Okay.” You smiled nervously. It was a first for you to do something like this, but he made you feel safe for some reason.
“How much have you had to drink?” He asked.
“Nothing, why?”
“I just want to make sure you don’t throw up when I do this.” He smirked a little and pulled away from you.
“Do what?” You wondered. In response, Tom lifted you with ease and threw you over his shoulder.
“Tom!” You laughed in surprise as he carried you up the stairs.
“It’s quicker this way.” He shouted over the music as he made his way to his bedroom. He carried you inside and locked the door behind him before gently placing you on the bed. He was top of you in no time and continued to kiss you. You made out on his unmade bed for a while as his hands explored your body. As the kissing got more heated, you started to get a pit in your stomach. You felt like things were moving a little too fast for you and it was making you nervous.
“Do you mind if we don’t go all the way tonight?“ You pulled away to ask Tom. You looked really nervous to ask, which made Tom confused.
“Do I mind?” He laughed like it was a silly thing to ask. “Of course we don’t have to.”
You sighed in relief as he rolled next to you on the bed. He scooted closer to you and turned his head so he could admire you in the dim lighting of his room.
“Sorry.” You laughed nervously. “I’m really sorry. I’m just not a one night stand kind of person. I didn’t mean to lead you on.”
“Darling, you didn’t lead me on.” Tom assured you. “And you don’t have to explain yourself for not wanting to have sex. We can just lie here and talk if you want.”
“Okay.” You smiled shyly and snuggled into his side. You stayed there in that position and talked for hours until you fell asleep in Tom’s arms. Tom looked at you while you slept and let out a guilty sigh. He had a pit of his own growing in his stomach as he replayed the day in his head.
A few hours earlier
“Did you order the kegs for the party tonight?” Harry asked the group as they sat in the campus courtyard.
“Luke did.” Harrison responded.
“Nice. I can’t believe Luke is graduating this semester. Who’s gonna be the president of the frat once he’s gone?”
“Me, obviously.” Tom chimed in.
“Not so fast, mate.” Harry snorted. “I want to be president too. I have a lot of good ideas that could really shape up the place.”
“Your last “good idea” was to crush up Doritos and snort them.” Sam reminded him.
“And it made an otherwise Tuesday night pretty exciting, did it not?” Harry scoffed.
“I also kinda want to be president.” Harrison spoke up.
“Me too.” Sam added. “I want to take a crack at it. Plus, the president gets the biggest room.”
“I need this for my resume guys.” Tom groaned. “I have literally never been in a single club. This is my only extra curricular.”
“Show of hands, who else wants to be president?” Harrison asked the frat brothers. They all raised their hands as they looked around at each other.
“We don’t have to worry about this now. We’ll just vote when the time comes.” Harry suggested.
“We can’t do a vote if we all want to be president. Everyone would just vote for themselves.” Sam reminded him.
“Then I propose we make a bet, boys.” Harrison spoke up. “You want to be president, you need to have what it takes. You need to be charming. You need people skills. You have to do the impossible.”
“And how do you suggest we do that?” Tom asked.
“Like this.” Harrison smirked. “The first person to get a girl to fall in love with them by the end of the semester gets to be president next year.”
“That’s easy.” Harry scoffed. “I already have like 3 chicks in love with me.”
“Not so fast.” Harrison held up a hand. “We get to pick each other’s girl. You have to seduce her in anyway you can and if you can get her to tell you that she loves you, you get to be president.”
“Don’t get your hopes up, gentlemen. I got this in the bag.” Tom told the table of his frat brothers with a smug grin.
“I wouldn’t be so confident, T-Bag. Because I’ve already picked a girl for you.” Harrison smirked and clapped Tom on the back.
“I don’t care.” Tom shrugged. “Pick any girl. I’ll have her eating out of the palm of my hand by the end of the day. I don’t need a whole semester.
“Okay. Her.” Harrison pointed to you across the courtyard with a shit eating grin.
“Her?” Tom sat up in his seat to get a better look at you. You were sitting alone at a table with a pencil behind your ear and multiple notebooks laid out in front of you as you typed away at something on your laptop.
“What’s the matter?” Harrison asked. “You don’t think you can pull her?”
“Of course I can.” Tom scoffed unconvincingly. “I’ve just never seen her before. I don’t even know if she goes here.”
“She definitely goes here. I always see her talking to the schools president. She has like the highest GPA in the state.” Sam told the group, making Tom grow a little nervous.
“Then she is way too smart to go for Tom.” Harry snickered.
“Shut up.” Tom shoved his brother. “I could get her to fall in love with me. Easily.”
“Yeah?” Harrison raised an eyebrow. “How?”
“Look at her. Sitting by herself in a mountain of homework, eating -what is that? Carrots and ranch? What is she a freaking Guinea pig? She’s a total loser. All I have to do is show her the slightest bit of attention and she’ll be begging on her knees to date me.” Tom shrugged as he folded his arms. He wasn’t as confident as he sounded and hoped his frat brothers wouldn’t pick up on that.
“Damn, T-Bag.” Harrison laughed. “Already picturing her on her knees?”
“Shut up. Trust me, I got this. All I have to do is sleep with her. She’ll be telling me she loves me before can even get my pants back on.” Tom replied as he held out his hands. His brothers high fived him on either hand for his objectification of a woman.
“What makes you so sure?” Harrison wondered.
“Because lonely girls like that will tell anybody that they love them just in case they say it back. And that’s the loneliest girl I’ve ever seen.” Tom said as he pointed to you. “Trust me, by this time next semester, you guys will be singing “hail to the chief” every time you see me.”
A few hours later
“Could you look anymore miserable?” Tom asked as he leaned his arm up on the wall beside you.

(Eighth Child Masterlist)
When I woke up that morning the first thing I felt was the burning sting of my shoulders, I took a few seconds to process that I was hurt. How long did I sleep?
After spending almost two hours with Klaus’ head on the sink brushing his hair looking for glass shards, I was exhausted. Klaus gave me one of his jumpers to wear and I just collapsed on my bed.
I got up to wash my face and maybe get rid of some of that pain, but I stepped on something fleshy when I left my bed.
- Ouch! I usually like when people step on me, but I need a warning first… - Klaus was looking up at me.
- Did you sleep on the floor?
- Yeah, I was worried about your shoulders and I probably had too much to drink last night so I didn’t want to take the risk of barfing on your bed.
- So sweet… - I joked - but thank you for caring, Five couldn’t even stick around after that circus he put us through.
- Maybe it wasn’t his fault, Luther said he came home very upset last night carrying a duffle bag and he had blood all over his shirt…
- Oh my God, do you think he’s ok?
- He apparently didn’t let anyone help, so I don’t know.
- I’ll be right back - I jumped over Klaus’ slim figure to reach the door.
Walking three rooms to my left I knocked on Five’s door.
- Hey, Five, it’s Vicky, can I come in?
- Sure, whatever… - Five murmured.

Warning: Strong language, mention of violence and death.
(The Eighth Child Masterlist)
I don’t exactly understand what happened, let’s just say if traveling with a briefcase was comparable to riding a bike… Traveling with Five could be comparable to riding a unicycle with a flat tire.
I don’t know how long I was inside that energy surge, all I knew is that I was holding Klaus’ hand on one side and Diego’s hand on the other until a wave of electricity made us let go of each other.
It felt like going down an endless slide for the longest time until I finally hit the floor.
My first thought was “thank God, I’m alive”, but then it hit me… I was also alone.
- Klaus! Five! Diego! - I screamed as the portal closed above me without spitting out any of my siblings - Oh no no no! Klausie! Klaus!
I looked around, the world seemed fine, no apocalypse in sight, so there was that, but where was I? It looked like an alleyway, but that’s pretty much all I could recognize. I got on my feet and dusted off the concrete bits from my outfit.
It was a beautiful day, not a single cloud in the sky. I saw a movie theatre across the street, the sign on top read “West Side Story”, I smiled, maybe I should go see that, it’s one of my favorite musicals.
When I turned around to check behind me, I saw a man through the window, he had a camera and was trying to hide behind the curtains.
- Hey, you! What the hell are you doing?
