i'll be there so you don't have to be lonely {alle x harri}

"Alle! Alle!! ALLEEE!!!!!!!!!"

At the sound of Miss Chan calling her name, Alle looked up from her book which she was previously immersed in.

She was greeted with Miss Chan's warm smile.

"Alle dear, it's time for you to go up to the English Circle for an ERS report."

Alle's eyes widened; was the report due today? She thought she still had another week. Oh, who was she kidding? She had been waiting for this day for ages. 

It was the day when she finally got to see Harri. It wasn't like they don't see each other at school, they still exchanged glances and smiles in corridors or when she's on duty.

It made Alle's heart bump harder every time Harri gave her his signature smile, his soft-looking lips twitching ever so slightly.

However they haven't properly talked for so long--actually it's only been a week, but Alle felt like it was a year since they last talked in the school outing. 

Alle was so lost in her thoughts that the next thing she knew, she was at the door of the English Circle with her other classmates.

She gulped, feeling a little nervous. She knew it was only a week, but what if Harri forgot her already? What if to Harri she was just another plain student? 

These thoughts were unbearable and Alle found herself cringing. (A/N: so am I urggghhh)

Just as Alle was internally debating whether to knock or not, she heard soft but firm footsteps echoing from being the door and she knew she could finally see Harri, the man that was in her dreams every night.

She quickly fixed her hair and dress, aiming to impress.

The door opened just as she was trying to hitch her skirt up so that it looked shorter (n/n: omfg alle no), and a tiny gasp escaped her lips.

Seeing Harri, with his white see-through shirt that showed off his abs, made her squeal like a fangirl meeting her favorite celebrity.

Harri smirked when he saw just how flustered the girl in front of him looked. Alle bit her lip out of utter nervousness and Harri's eyes flashed, his pupils delating. 

Midnight eyes met blue ones and Alle sighed in relief when Harri signaled for her and the others to pile in. She felt her jealousy surge when Harri smiled cheerfully at another girl, which surprised her; she was rarely the jealous type. 

However her heart surged again, this time in happiness and excitement when Harri sat beside her, all jealousy forgotten.

She smiled proudly at the other girl, as if saying gurrllll don't try ta get things that aren't yours in the first place heh (a/n: poor girl tho she doesn't even know what's happening)

Alle was again taken aback by her actions and thoughts; why was she so rude to people when Harri was involved? She wasn't like this. She was a good girl. (A/N: good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught wink emoticon )

"So Alle, why don't you start first?" Harri's voice knocked her out of her daze.

"Sure, sure!" Alle quickly answered, clearing her throat.

"Um.. The book I want to talk about today is called Spencer and Me. Um.. So basically it's about... A girl who.... had inappropriate fantasies... About a man she barely... barely knew... And she wanted to.. marry him..."

Alle stuttered out. Normally she was confident and she never stuttered. But with Harry so close to her that she could literally feel the heat flowing off his body, she couldn't concentrate at all. No to mention that ironically, the book was so similar to her actual situation.

Alle tried to keep her tears at bay as she struggled to find words to say. It was like somebody wiped her brain clean; she couldn't remember a single word or recall a part of her report.
She was stuck, and she avoided Harri's gaze as she felt too ashamed to stare into his beautiful eyes and see the disappointment in them.

"And..... Um....."

Suddenly a warm hand grasped hers and she gasped, quickly trying to cover it up with a string of coughs. She knew it was Harri's, could feel his big hands squeezing hers firmly but not too tight, could feel his artistic fingers locking with hers, and she smiled. 

It was so calming, and Alle found herself taking more smoothly and calmly, finally finishing the report without many obstacles, Harri's comforting hand gently guiding her, like it would never let go.
(A/N: DA feels #halle)

EXPLICIT EXCERPT:

After all the students had finished their reports (some of them Harri interrupted), Harri announced that it was time for them to leave.

Alle flushed pink when Harri stared at her with a look she could only describe as intense. Then he did the cutest thing ever--scratching the back of his head like he was unsure of himself, making Alle swoon. 

Then suddenly --- it hit her.

It hit her like an effing train. 

Harri used his right hand to write, but occasionally he would fix his glasses with his left. Frequently, actually, he did it once every 5 minutes.

The hand holding Alle's never left hers, not even once. 

Alle put her hand in front of her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

So who held her hand throughout the report?
