Liza's POV *the next day*
Time TogetherMr Demon has been sleeping for hours, he was awake a little but was barely talking yesterday. Asher told me that he needs rest but I'm worried...once he wakes up and a bit better then I'm gonna try to cheer him up because even it's obvious that he's hurt. Harry always takes care of me when I feel bad so I wanna do something similar for him. I wanna propose to him today, it's good weather and it won't take much effort but still fun.
I'm shit at comforting people but it's the thought that counts...right? He groans and starts to slowly move up while rubbing his eyes. Why was that kinda hot? Wait no, that's not important. His eyes open looking tiredly but they instantly look at me, I can't help but smile and hug him. He hugs back too!
"You were sleeping for ages, are you ok?" I ask.
"Yeah, I just erm..." Harry goes quiet. "Visited Weller and saw Rose's grave, sorry for not telling you."
"It's fine, besides, I have surprise for you." I smile and kiss him. "I'm gonna take you on a date, if it will make you feel better..."
"Right now?" he raises an eyebrow. "That'd be nice, thanks Strawberry."
"Also do you mind telling me about what happened later?" I question. "And anytime works!"
"I'll tell you what happened, let's get ready to go out then, I look forward to what you have planned." he smiles.My complete plan is to go out and eat somewhere, ice cream, go on a walk, then to that place Azula showed and propose when the moment is right. I'm gonna treat him to sushi. Besides, Asher made it so Harry has to take time off and I hardly work anyways so this is a good time! I hope proposing to him like this will work, I really want to do something meaningful in our relationship and if he well survives then even better.
I'm gonna gamble everything for him.
Harry walks into the bathroom and I go to change my clothes but I have no idea what to wear...it's warm outside so a pink blouse with a pair of jeans? White shirt with black skirt? Why is picking clothes so fucking hard!? All I know is that I want something simple but why is picking clothes so hard? Stupid sweet nature, I should be better at planning.
"You look troubled." Harry states from behind.
"I don't know what clothes to pick even though it's gonna be a simple date..." I mumble.
"Well whatever you look best in while being choked would be a great idea." he laughs a little.
"Excuse me!?" I yell, burning up.
"I'm just messing with you, though it wouldn't be a bad idea." he smiles.
"Let's just wear something matching..." I mutter, staring at my backpack. "White shirt and black skirt?"
"Sounds good, I think I have a white button down shirt and some black pants." he answers.I nod and take my clothes to go into the bathroom. My face is completely red in the mirror, shit, why'd he have to say that!? I like choking but come on...he seems a bit better now atleast. I'm gonna make this date enjoyable for him and cheer him up as much as I can and by the end of it, we will be fiancés.
That stupid pickup line is still stuck in my head...I'm just gonna change my clothes now and wash up my face. Not as if I have any makeup but I don't need it though it'd be fun to have. I change my clothes and look in the mirror, the outfit looks cute! The skirt is a little above my knees and the shirt is tucked in, didn't realize it was turtle neck but it's cute.
"Done yet?" a voice asks from behind.
"HEY- wait, oh gee, yep." I jump. "Do you wanna go now?"
"Of course, if it means getting to spend time with you then I'll look forward to it." Harry smiles.
"Then let me grab some cash and let's go!" I grab his hand as we walk out. "I have a really big surprise for you by the end of it."
"Now you have me very interested, Strawberry." he states.This skirt has pockets and that's my biggest flex so I get the money and sneak the ring into my pocket from the drawer before leading Harry out with me. I have a good feeling about this, he seems to feel better and better which is the best part! I like May, it's warm and not hot, there's plenty of sunlight and best part is the fact there's already some really pretty flowers around now. But there are bugs now, ew.
I keep holding Harry's hand while we're outside, walking and we just talk about whatever. I'm trying to look for good sushi places at the same time. There are more people outside than usual too...
"Have you eaten sushi before?" I ask.
"No, not really." Harry shakes his head.
"Then let's go..." I look around. "There, maybe you can tell me a few things then too!"I point at a simple restaurant that looks like it serves sushi and we walk there. Not a lot of people but it smells so good and my mouth is watering, smells so good...not even mother nature can beat this. How come I've never heard of this place?
After they've ordered...
"Woah, this is actually really good." Harry states.
"Mhm!" I nod with food in my mouth.
"I think I might have a new favorite." he smiles.This is some of the best fucking sushi I've ever had. So much flavor and I love it! Harry has a hard time eating with chopsticks but he managed to not break a few pieces thanks to me teaching him. It was kinda cute to see him try figuring it out himself. And he breaks another piece again so he just uses the spoon...
I giggle quietly to myself and accidentally choke a bit on the food. Stupid nature. Atleast water saves me from dying.
"Slow down, Liza." Harry pats my shoulder.
"The food is so good though..." I mumble.
"Definitely amazing but take your time, alright?" he laughs a little. "You're the one who is paying after all."
"It's all for you though." I state.
"That's why I wanna take every second to enjoy it." he replies. "So, you want to know what happened, right?"I nod.
"I visited Weller, like in the note and I didn't tell you because of a gut feeling of something going wrong. Least I wanna do is see you get hurt, there I saw Rose's grave and learnt all about Weller's past, his old name was Hades. Guess I was probably feeling very on edge and he read my mind, then said some things at that caused me to well...break down." Harry explains. "I was pretty much hyperventilating and passed out because it was too much. As it stands now, I've lost a major sense of identity, just Harry Carsson who wants revenge."
He looks so sad, the fact he feels like that right now hurts in the chest. Mr Demon is well, a great boyfriend, smart, caring, gentle and I think he's so much more than that. It's obvious it's hard for him to talk about. I shouldn't have asked...
"You don't have to continue, besides, to me you're still a fun person and it's not even your fault. It's been a year since we got out of that hellhole but I guess it can take years to figure out what you want." I reply while holding his hand under the table. "Maybe when we ever get the chance, let's go do something to explore different interests together."
"Thank you, I'd love to try it and really, those words mean a lot to me so I'll remember them." he smiles. "The fact you think so while I am an arsonist is interesting..."
"Don't mention it, besides, you're not a criminal if you don't get caught." I respond.
"Totally." he rolls his eyes.................................................................................
Funfact: Harry hasn't realized he's bisexual!
