Happy World Autism Awareness Day, This Chapter has a little Autism speciality in it.

-

The next week flies in quite fast. Harry is back at his flat, still not exactly talking to Niall and Gemma but is very active in university classes, tutorials and library meet-ups. With Louis now fully working with his father, and hardly having time to spend at the library, Liam has now become a member of the comic club and is even planning on introducing someone to them, with the hopes of Harry getting along very well with this person.

"No," Iman flatly says.

Harry drags his eyebrows in an offended manner and pokes her. "Why please?"

"I don't know if you can handle it, you might be confused with the books," she shrugs.

"Uh, no please... nope! See...see H-Harry is like...like eager to learn so...so that's where...where you come in and...and make it easy please," Harry smiles.

This is the third discussion of him assisting with returning books and helping around in the library, since Jill is a bit ill, and Iman has to carry all the work on her shoulders. Iman does not want him stressing himself but he does not see it as a slice of stress. In fact, it means proving a point to her, and being useful plus spending more time together.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Iman smiles, looking at him.

"H-Help! Iman...Iman is doing too...too much! H-Harry wants to h-help you!" he happily says, smiling and lightly patting her forehead.

Iman gently holds his hand, still smiling and thinking of the best way he can help around, especially since he will not want to freely converse with every single person in the library. Today is a bit hectic because Liam is busy being a new library assistant, and he needs to devote his time to the new person before every other person can get familiar.

"You can always return the books to the shelves, some people left their books on the tables." Iman shrugs, and Harry quickly nods, biting down his lip and staring blankly.

"Y-Yes, did...did you know it...is so rude to...to leave books like that? Gosh...like pick...pick it up after you are done...done people," Harry mumbles, frowning in disbelief.

The level of his mood today is unbelievable, it is like seeing a different side to him and Iman is almost in awe of his adorable character for the day. He moves closer to her, holding her hand and dropping his eyes down. With Louis leaving their trio for now, he feels the need to even be closer to Iman whenever he can.

"Louis says we should hang out sometime this week, his treat. Interested?" Iman asks, lightly pushing a bit of hair behind his ear.

"Y-Yes, uh...uh tell Leeyum too!" he smiles, happy to include the chatty and smiley man.

"Sure I will," she lightly nods.

"O-Okay, Uh H-Harry wants to help...help now please," Harry says, looking around their surrounding and blinking to himself.

"Right, okay. You pick up the book, look at the tag and return it to the number on the tag," Iman states, picking up a book and carefully demonstrating it to him.

It instantly sticks in his head, loud and clear.

Nothing about that looks hard for him to do, except maybe trying to avoid stares from the people surveying the shelves and always interested in a conversation with people. He slowly mimics her actions with a smile, and Iman widens her eyes with a bright smile in encouragement.

"That's great!" she cheers, pressing a kiss to his cheek and watching him immediately flush hazy pink.

"O-Okay! I...I will uh...uh check a-around then!" he nervously speaks, stepping aside.
