Zayn took him up on a tree to watch the ocean from above and far away. It shimmered, reflecting the starry night. It was a beautiful sight. 

"Did my father allow you to take me out?" Harry asked as they sat on a thick branch. 

"I never asked for his permission." He said. 

Harry was surprised. Considering his personality, Harry thought he would ask. 

"Harry, I need this night with you. I have left my suffering, but it has not left me. I want to spend time with you so you can know the person I am, the person I have become, and decide if you still want to be with me. You still have the choice to walk away." 

Harry didn't want to push him, so he took the easy road. 

"Just don't try to make me dislike you. If I still choose to be with you, will you choose me back then?" 

"I have already chosen you." He said. 

Harry smiled. As long as he had chosen him. Harry could show him he had no intentions of walking away. 

Ever.

"What else did my father tell you?"

"He asked me what I could offer you. If I could make you happy?" 

"What did you say?" Harry asked. 

"I told him I would do my best, that I would let you decide if you want me in your life or not." 

"Do you think my father approves of you?"

He smiled. "I don't think he dislikes me even though he pretends to."

"Can you jump to that tree?" Harry asked, pointing at the one in front of them.

"My love first." He said. 

Harry couldn't believe him. For someone worried about protecting him, Harry expected him to ask him to not do anything dangerous. 

Turning to the tree, Harry tried to measure the distance with his eyes, then decided he could do it. Standing up on the branch, he looked ahead and prepared himself. 

"Alright, I am jumping," Harry warned. 

He just nodded. 

Harry jumped and caught the branch before climbing up. A smile lit his face as he felt proud of himself for being able to do it. 

"Your turn," Harry called. 

He easily jumped and climbed next to him. 

"I want to try it again," Harry said. 

There was an excitement in the danger. 

"Go on." He smiled. 

Harry jumped from one branch to another now only catching the branch with help of his claws and jumping to the next one without climbing up on it. It felt like he was flying. He became too excited and missed catching the next branch. Suddenly he was falling, so he closed his eyes and embraced himself for the pain to come.
