Y/N really wasn't one to judge.

She swears! She really isn't, sure there's things she finds a bit odd but never to the extent of spending more than a few minutes thinking about it.

But Harry was straight up weird. He visits the book/coffee store she works at almost every day because he's friends with Mitch, who owns the store.

He'd come in every day around 6pm, an hour before close, and he'd buy the same tea every day, lemon and ginger, while he looks around for very odd books.

Most of them she hadn't really heard of and they were always extremely old. He was nice, reserved, a bit intimidating and he wasn't awfully chatty, but he'd speak back to her if she spoke to him, sometimes he'd smile and that's really all a person could ask for.

But the man was so strange! He'd wear flared pants and flowy tops with trench coats over his clothes almost always, even if it was blistering hot outside, he was pale and spoke very...old fashioned?

He'd sometimes come into the store with paint on his hands making Y/N question if he was an artist, sometimes she thought it was nail polish since his nails were always painted pretty colours and sometimes he'd come in with a vinyl in hand, (which wasn't that odd if he just bought it) he rarely drives, she's only seen him get out of a car twice in the four months she'd been working there. He looked the same age as her, maybe a few years older but he was very mature and reminded her of a grandpa in some ways.

And he would always tip extremely well. He was just a bit odd. And Y/N knows she shouldn't really dwell on it but it was hard when he'd ask the strangest questions she's ever heard (One time he'd asked Y/N if she was locking her windows at night which freaked her out for weeks after). Mitch says he's just not very well versed with people and how to speak to them, that he's only friends with him because they'd known each other for a very long time. He would never specify how long though, which Y/N found odd but it was whatever. He would always give Y/N compliments though and they always sounded so sincere that they made her blush.

So while he was weird, Y/N had a massive crush on him.

Niall was sat on a stool behind the counter next to Y/N as she served what was hopefully the last customer of the day as they close in 15 minutes, Harry hadn't been in today which was odd but Y/N didn't care enough to ask Mitch about it.

Niall is Y/N's best friend, they go to the same Uni and had shared a flat during their first year, they hit it off pretty great and they've been best friends since, despite not living together for very long.

The bell on the door jingles and Y/N looks over to see Harry walk in, today he was wearing a white blouse, blush pink velvet flares and a black coat, the most normal thing about his outfit was probably the vans on his feet and the large rings adorning his fingers.

He's got a tote slung over his shoulder which is new, he's never had one with him before, he didn't say anything when he walked in, going straight to the books as Y/N turns back to Niall who gives her a weird look and mouths "Is that Harry?" to her, she'd spoken about him a couple of times and Niall was dying to meet him but was never around when he was there.

Y/N nods and clears her throat, "Anyway, we've got to submit the psychology paper by Tuesday so do you want to come over on Saturday when I get off to start them?" Y/N asks, "I can't, I'm going to play footie with Zayn on Saturday and then I've got a date," Niall says, "Guess I'll have to do it by myself then," Y/N sighs.

Harry walks up to the front desk with a book in his hand and Y/N smiles at him, he smells like Lavender just like always and he gives her a tight lipped smile, "Hello," He says, his voice was quite deep and smooth and a bit intimidating most of the time, Y/N loved it and she loved it even more when there's a bit of a rasp to it.
