the idea of actually having a boyfriend was somewhat nerve wrecking for harry. he'd never had a boyfriend before, nor a girlfriend or any dating experience prior to this. it is entirely new to him and he doesn't know exactly what to expect. sure he'd seen plenty of romance movies and series, read loads of novels centered around the subject, to know essentially what it looks like. but this is real life and he knows everything will be a totally different experience.

after having that talk with zayn and them agreeing to date, they'd spent the remainder of that day talking, getting to know one another more—specifically on zayn's part. harry ended up learning quite a lot about the raven that he hadn't been able to previously. he learned that the man is twenty-three years old, discovered that he liked, what he disliked, what he liked to eat, what foods he didn't like, etc. other small things that most people wouldn't think mattered, but he still cared to know.

he'd also learned that zayn had a pack, whom he considers a family. it isn't very big, yet they were tight knit and they were strong enough on their own, according to zayn. harry had not a single doubt that they were strong if they were anything like zayn, whom he's witnessed up close in combat and he hadn't broke a sweat. apparently, the pack thought of him as a leader figure, which would explain why zayn had no issue with harry 'naming' him alpha. because he was, in a way. the raven told him that he wanted harry to meet them one day, when he was ready. and of course harry would love to meet them, especially if they are important to zayn.

anyway, they had carried on as they normally had, like nothing really changed. meeting in the forest once harry got out from school, spending as much time together as they could before it would get dark, talking about any and everything. their conversation flowed so naturally, never leaving a moment open for uncomfortable awkwardness or dullness. and when the time came for harry to go, zayn would walk him home, briefly kissing him on the cheek before they'd part. it would leave harry blushing, and have his parents questioning why his face was so red when he came stumbled into the house.

they hadn't kissed yet, but that was okay, he liked that they were starting off slow and easing him into this relationship at a reasonable pace. though, he's certain the moment when he and zayn would eventually end up kissing isn't too far away. not that he's opposed to the idea, but it would be his first kiss and the thought made him quite nervous. fortunately, zayn is nothing but patient with him. never pressuring him to do anything or make decisions on something before he's ready. the furthest they've gone so far is hand holding, cuddling, or a kiss on the cheek or temple. sweet and tender.

harry liked it this way, for now.

it's only been a few days since they'd started dating, but already harry can feel the bond between them growing rapidly. he thought that he enjoyed spending time with his wolf, but being with him as a human is so much more fulfilling. they get to talk, interact easier, express their inner thoughts or emotions without the communication barrier anymore. and no offense, but zayn in person was definitely better to look at. his wolf is adorable, however having him here with like this gives him an entirely different view. he's simply drop dead gorgeous, though harry wouldn't admit that aloud, he's certainly thinking it.

those first couple days had been spent at the usual spot. they would have long talks, take walks, and enjoy nature in each other's company. at some point zayn finally asked harry to go on their first date together as a couple, and the brunette was utterly ecstatic. it was going to be his very first date, and he could hardly contain the excitement bubbling in his stomach. there's a tinge of nervousness as well, albeit the excitement outweighed it.
