The music shop was humming. Not literally, even though it would fit, since it is in fact a music shop. There was a bounce in her step that left Jay with a million questions, and Murray with a nostalgic shake of his head. She had put on a mixtape that she loved, and was jumping around to Friday, I'm in Love. She pulled Jay to dance with her, and he pretty much didn't know any other dance moves other than dabbing, whipping, and the nae nae, so she gave up.

"I'm dying here, Via. What happened?" Murray exaggerated from his office when there was a lull in the song. He could practically imagine Vienna passing out cotton candy on the street from the mood she was in, and Jay biting his nails down to the bone.

"He took me dancing." She laughed, and Jay's eyes widened. "And then he made me sushi, and we talked." She continued.

"He took you dancing?" Jay repeated.

"He took me dancing." Vienna called. Jay sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Oh, and he introduced me to his friends there."

"Was it, like, a private lesson, or were there other people there?" Jay asked, taking notes for date ideas. He figured, if it worked for his man crush, it must work for other guys too.

"Well, it was me, and Harry, and Louis, Liam, and Niall." Vienna answered. Jay squeaked, and doubled over.

"Jesus Christ, he's in love with you." Jay breathed. Vienna blushed red, shaking her head.

"It was one date, you dickhead." She slapped his arm, and he shook his head at her.

"You met the band, Via! That has to meet something!" Jay urged, shaking her arm back and forth.

"I mean, technically I had met them before. But we were never introduced, so that was the first time actually meeting them." Vienna clarified. Jay looked confused. "I cut open my leg, and they were over at Harry's, so my sister ran over to their house to get Harry, and they followed him." She explained.

"Oh my lord, why don't you ever tell me anything?" Jay exasperated. Vienna just scoffed, her head turning back to him quickly causing her hair to ripple around her face.

"I'm telling you now, aren't I?" Vienna shot back, and he nodded dejectedly.

The front door bell rang, and they both looked to find Harry walking in. He looked up at the speakers that were still playing The Cure, and then his eyes nearly gravitated toward Vienna. Jay was behind her, nearly clutching onto her shoulders, his face pale yet ecstatic. Vienna peeked him off of her, and approached Harry, who was grinning.

"Well to what do I owe this great pleasure?" She asked in a posh accent. His hands went straight to her waist, shocking her a bit, but she recovered with butterflies in her stomach bigger than the one he had inked on his skin.

"What, can't I drop by to see a lovely woman that has been on my mind?" He questioned, making her blush. She placed her hands on his chest, by the neck of his shirt, and smiled.

"Not unless you have a reason." She teased. He huffed, cocking his hip to the side, and taking one of his hands from her waist to tap his chin, feigning deep thought.

"Oh, I have it! I want to take you on another date." Harry stated, green eyes staring into hers with a sense of admiration.

"Another date? Sounds delightful." She said, and he grinned, leaning forward to nuzzle his face in her neck.

"How are you so damn gorgeous and wonderful?" Harry mumbled.

"Oh my god, I'm gonna die!" Jay exclaimed from the second story balcony looking down on them. "Murray, come look at my favorite ship, aren't they cute!" Jay called.

"Jay, shut up!" Murray yelled. "They're obviously having a moment!" He added.

Harry laughed into her skin while she just shook her in amusement. Her hands had moved to thread through his hair, and mewled at the feeling. Her fingers moved against his scalp, and his grip on her waist tightened. He finally pulled back from her, and smiled, pecking her nose.

"Alright, duchess. I'll let you back to your job. Don't want to keep Jay waiting." Harry joked, and she grit her teeth in annoyance with the younger coworker.

"See you later, H." The door to the music shop closed behind him, and she turned to find Jay literally a foot from her face, making her jump.

"Have you guys kissed yet?" He questioned.

"Nope." Vienna told him honestly. His jaw dropped.

"Do you guys have a ship name yet?" Jay asked, and she shook her head. "Hienna, Varry, Harna, Virry, Harienna, I can come up with a couple more." Jay offered.

"I vote for Hienna!" Murray yelled from his office.

"I think I like Harienna." Vienna mumbled, causing Jay to grin like a child.

"Harienna it is." Jay nodded, before walking away.
