The Figure Skater (Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Unwanted Greetings

{Harry's POV}

Is it bad I'm afraid of Gage? No, right? He's just a lot more built than I am. His muscles are larger and more obvious than mine, but I guess my tattoos make me look more manly.

We sat in Gage's car in a complete awkward silence. When I say awkward, I mean it. He keeps a tight grip on the steering wheel and his eyes locked on the street. I sat there fiddling with my thumbs and occasionally looking out the window.

"So. How are you and Nat?" Gage asked breaking the silence. A small smile rugged on the corners of my mouth by just her name. But after what just happened I don't know how we are. I mean that whenever we start to get into a heated snogging session she stops. "We're good. I guess." I answered half-truthfully.

He looked at me questionably before looking back at the road. "Why, I guess?" I scratched the back of my neck as he pulled into a pizzeria car park.

I got out of the car at the same time Gage did and we walked in. "When ever we start snogging she just stops it. Like she's scared or something." Gage nodded and pursed his lips together thinking, I think.

"Next please." A young blonde called to us. We stepped up and ordered. Gage got a slice of plain while I got pepperoni. We took a seat at a close table set for two. "So I think I know why Nat's like that." Gage stated as he took a swing from his bottle of Mountain Dew. Suddenly he has all of my attention.

I crossed my arms over the table and zoned in on him. "Mae was the same way. We stated dating in eighth grade, and once we went into tenth grade things became more serious for us." He started, then taking another sip of his soda. I did the same with my Pepsi then turned back at him. Management wants us to drink Pepsi whenever we're in public. For sales reasons, or something like that.

"At first she was fidgety and nervous, but once we talked about it she seemed to be less nervous. She said she was ready but didn't want to do it one random night." Gage explained, moving his hands around trying to make more sense. I nodded along understanding everything he said.

"One night I planned this really romantic picnic in the park at night under the stars. After that I took her back to my place because my family wasn't home. Then we started making out and then it led to sex." He finished as the waitress placed our pizza's in front of us. She looked at me, batting her eyelashes as she said "Would you like anything else?" She's blinked so many times it looks like there's something in her eye.

Gage stifled a laugh, trying to cover it up with a cough, but failed miserably. The blonde gave Gage a glare before turning back to me. "No we're good. But is everything okay with you're eyes. It looks like you might have a twitch or something." I turned my attention back to my pizza before taking a bite.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw the blonde's jaw drop as she walked away. I've she was out of ear shot Gage broke out laughing. "Dude! She- she- I can't." He spoke between laughs as I stared at him questionably. What's so funny? "What?" I asked confused.

Gage suddenly stopped laughing and gave me a straight expression. Once again I asked "What?" He coughed out another laugh before taking a sip of his soda. "She was flirting with you. You're so whipped!" He blurted out, laughing hysterically. My cheeks blushed bright red. I took a sip of my soda to try and hide it, but it didn't work.

After we finished our pizza and paid we left. "Where do you want to go next mate?" Gage asked in a fake British accent but it turned into an Australian accent towards the end. I chuckled and shook my head. "You, mate, need to practice your accents. And doesn't matter to me." I shrugged my shoulder as we climbed into his car.

We drove into a more comfortable silence this time as we made our way somewhere. "Do you play soccer?" Gage asked as we pulled into a car park to a football field. (American football that's also a soccer field.) I nodded along and stepped out. Gage got a football out of the back (soccer ball) and carried it towards the field.

We kicked the ball around, shooting a few times, and each of us playing goalie. But as I was about to stop an incoming ball to the goal a familiar voice called out "Hey Gage!" Both Gage and I froze from the voice. I've heard it before, but I'm not sure who it is.

Gage on the other hand looks furious. He whipped around to be greeted by a dark haired and dark eyed figure. He looks so familiar I just can't put my finger on it! "Get the fuck away Peter." Gage growled. Wait, Peter? Peter. Peter. Where the hell do I know a Peter.

"C'mon man. I apologised to her, but she won't let me talk to Cassie what am I supposed to do?" The guy, I mean Peter, spoke. Wait? Cassie. As in Natalie's sister Cassie? No, it can't be. "You fucking slapped Natalie in public and it was put on the internet!" Gage exclaimed and instantly it clicked.

This is the Peter that hit Natalie. I'm going to kill him! I'm going to fucking beat the shit out of this guy. My eyes contacted with Peter and his widened. "Fuck." He muttered as I took off running towards him and nailed him to the ground.

I punched him across his cheek and yelled "Why the hell would you hit my girlfriend?" He opened his mouth to speak but I punched him again. I've never been one to be violent but this just pushed me over.

I had to watch Natalie getting slapped. I was on a plane so I couldn't help her. I didn't even see the video until hours after. "Harry get off him!" Gage commanded, but ignored him. My fists kept coming in contact with Peter's face.

After blood drew from Peter's lips and nose Gage had to literally pull me off of him. "Nice to meet you asshole!" I barked as Gage dragged me towards the car.

Once we both sat down I saw Peter stand up shakily and walk off, clutching the side of his face. "I won't tell Nat." Gage spoke after a small silence. I nodded staring down at my bloody hand. I actually feel guilty.
