outcasts. | harry styles au

nineteen.

lennon woke up with her head on harry's chest hearing the steady beat of his heart. lennon let out a content sigh as she looked up at harry who looked so peaceful with his mouth partly open and his curls messily spread out on the pillow.

she didn't even know how her head ended up on his bare chest or how his arms found their way around her waist, yet she couldn't care less.  she didn't want to wake harry up after how tired he must have been after staying up so late last night or early this morning.

lennon didn't feel like getting up anyways and just laid there staring at harry and the light streaming through the window. she didn't want to think about the evils her father and the man were creating she just wanted to be with harry in their own little world. 

after a little while harry opened his eyes  letting out a yawn letting lennon know he was up. she tore her eyes from the ceiling above and redirected them to harry. harry's mouth turned up into a smile as lennon and his eyes met.

"good morning." he rasped his voice thick with sleep.

this sent chills over lennon at how much she liked the sound. she smiled back at him, something she always found herself doing when she was around harry.

"good morning." 

lennon yawned because yawns were contagious and stretched her arms right by harry's head her toes curling before she recoiled. harry let out a little laugh at lennon who now moved so she was laying right beside harry both on their backs staring at the ceiling.

it seemed so obscene but lennon just wanted to laugh even though she had no reason to.  she could the urge and couldn't contain it any longer letting the laughs to come out of her mouth. lennon's hand flew to her mouth to try to contain it, but it was useless.

harry probably thought she was crazy.

harry propped himself up on his elbow looking down on lennon with amusement on his face, making lennon laugh even harder. 

"what do you find so funny?" harry asked. 

lennon just shook her head not able comprehend words. harry smirked.

"i'll give you a reason to laugh." harry warned playfully raising his fingers. 

lennon's eyes widen  managing a "no" but even then harry's  fingers rose higher in the air. that's when lennon knew she had to make a run for it. lennon tumbled over harry off the bed running out the bedroom door. she could hear harry's footsteps behind her as she flew down the stairs.

she was laughing at how much fun she was having and how different she felt.  how whenever she was around harry she was almost always laughing or  just happy  which she loves. lennon  made it down the stairs before she could feel harry's arms wrap around her waist lifting her up. lennon laughed the back of her head on harry's shoulder her back pressed against his hard chest.he chuckled as he carried the laughing lennon into the kitchen setting her on the counter.

lennon swung her legs back and forth as her laughing ceased a smile on her face though as harry  stood in front of her with messy hair and a lopsided grin. harry placed his hands on either sides of her hips on counter top making lennon heart beat a little faster as harry's faced moved in a little closer.

"good morning." harry said his voice still raspy.

"you already said that!" lennon exclaimed with a laugh.

"it is a good morning though." he told her making lennon blush looking down. as she was looking down at her knees from his comment when she felt his lips press a kiss to his forehead making her blush harder at the gesture.

"now what would you like for breakfast?" harry questioned walking away from her opening a cupboard above his head.

"hmmmm," lennon started thinking of what sounded good to eat "how about some pancakes!" she suggested. harry grabbed two glasses setting them on the counter then flashing a smile over to lennon opening the fridge.

"thats sounds good i'll have to see if we have the stuff to make it." harry said to her pouring them glasses of milk.

lennon was glad that the tension last night and all the heavy stuff that was talked about at the table has disappeared for the moment. she liked being able to laugh and have fun with harry.

harry handed her a glass of milk she gladly accepted it gulping a lot of it down when she first got it because she was very thirsty. setting the almost empty glass of milk on the counter lennon watched harry put his own glass down and start looking for the pancake mix. as he did this she got great views of harry's beautiful inked chest and his back.

lennon felt foolish for staring as if she wanted to get caught by harry again for basically drooling over him. but it was like she couldn't help herself. harry found the pancake mix putting on the counter beside lennon before opening the cupboard next to her head to retrieve a bowl.

lennon bit her lip as she watched harry a smile finding a way to her face. 

"you're in a good mood this morning." harry commented making lennon blush a little bit. lennon hopped off the counter deciding she should probably help with pancake making process. she stood by harry and did as he instructed, soon enough pancakes were being flipped by harry with the frying pan.

lennon starting to laugh  as harry flipped one of the pancakes so sure of himself that he completely missed the catch it landing on the floor. harry just stared at it lennon doing the same not even trying to stop laughing because the situation was funny. well at least it was to lennon.

harry bent down to pick it up placing the fallen pancake in the garbage his cheeks tinted red from embaressment.

"hmmm," lennon laughed " got a little bit too cocky eh?" she teased him. harry just shook his flashing her a smile before returning to the other pancakes.

eventually the pancakes that didn't end up on the ground ended up on their plates slathered in syrup and butter. lennon took a bite of her pancake closing her eyes savoring it for it was so good. it didn't compare to the one's sarah made back at her house.

lennon opened her eyes nodding towards harry who was looking at her,"these are good." she complimented.

"thanks learned from my mum." harry told her in a quiet voice looking down at his plate of pancakes.

lennon realized that it must have been hard for harry to share that with her, so when he did lennon felt good. she placed her hand overs harry's much like she did last night. harry looked up at lennon and gave her a smile. his green eyes stared into hers making her smile.

"thank you." harry said to lennon before nudging her.

"now lets finish our pancakes."

the two finished their breakfast with light conversation the both laughing when the topic of what to do today came up. harry said he check something with the jeep lennon decided she could poke around the garage and keep him company.

then lennon realized she didn't have any clean clothes. which meant if she was going to stay here she needed to pack a bag of clothes for a couple days.

[lennon rested her elbows on the table next to her empty a plate clasping her hands together looking at harry who was looking at her.

"i'm going to need to go my house for clean clothes and to pack a bag." lennon told harry.

lennon really really really really didn't want to go to her house. she was afraid that her father would be there livid with her for finding out she didn't come home last night. she was also afraid that with the new found information of what harry told her last night made her on edge of what her father is capable of especially with his temper.

but harry wouldn't let anything happen to her right?
