You heard the kettle whistling early in the morning. You rustled around the bed and reached your arm out to find Harry, but he wasn't there. Alarmed at first, but you then remember hearing the kettle.
You mosey out of bed and tiptoe over the rug that surrounds the floor you your bedroom. You go down the stairs and turn the corner to see Harry standing over the stove with his head ducked. You knew why.
Three weeks ago Jeff called saying they had last minute booked Howard Stern. When Fine Line released 3 years ago Harry was featured on the talk show. After they filmed Harry came home to you a mess from the experience. Howard completely violated Harry and his personal boundaries, making Harry extremely uncomfortable in the mix. Harry dreaded it the past couple of weeks, leading up to today.
"Hey" You smiled walking up to him hunched over. You ran your hands up and down his bare back making him sigh deeply. "What are you feeling?" You hugged him from the back resting your cheek on him
"I don't know- His voice husky- nervous I think" He grabbed your arm and turned to face you
He held his smile in. You cupped his face tiptoeing up to reach his forehead
"I love you" you whispered
He smiled under you
"I needed to hear that.... I'm just pissed- He let go of you and walked to a cabinet to get a mug- Jeff knows how much I hate that show... Howard" He grabbed a mug and gestured to you asking if you wanted tea too. You nodded. Harry poured the cup and handed it to you
"And I know I should suck it up, but I don't want to deal with Howard's bullshit." You both stood in silence sipping your tea
"try not to sike yourself out. You control the interview and you can steer it around. Don't let Howard push you around. I speak from experience." Harry laughed while you rolled your eyes.

"So y/n you have been making music for a couple years now. When did you start" Howard spoke through his microphone to you
"Yeah I have, since high school, so fourish years? yeah"
"So what's the new album about, explain it to me"
"Well it's about growing up and finding love I guess.... some of this, some of that." You laughed
"Yeah some of this some of that, I think we kind of get what that is. Sex life of yours" Howard said flatly, laughing
You knew this was going south.
"Yeah you could say that" you looked down laughing nervously
"You are friends with a lot of, well, hot guys, am I right?"
"Sure"
"I mean you hang out a lot with like, Jack Harlow, Shawn Mendes... is it about them at all?"
"Uhh-"
"You are a very attractive young lady, I'm sure men are constantly, you know, into you. Wanna have sex with you."
"I uhh... no..." you were speechless at the things he was saying to you. Not only uncomfortable, but embarrassed. You're never had a hard time speaking your mind, but this is the first time anyone has ever openly sexualized you for entertainment purposes.
"So you've never, like, walked to a party and have had guys lunging at you?" He chuckled again
"I don't understand what you're trying to get at Howard."
