The waitress comes back with our order and places it down in front of us. We both dig in immediately, it tastes absolutely amazing.

"This is amazing." I hum and Harry nods.

"It is." He agrees.

"I've had such a lovely time so far, thank you for taking me out." I smile and he returns the gesture.

"I'm glad you're having a good time." He says.

"I am." I admit.

"I'm pretty excited to make the fort, not gonna lie. Bringing out the young Harry again." He smiles.

"I'm excited too! But I will probably be terrible at building it." I chuckle.

"I'm sure you'll do just fine." He says as he finishes his last scoop of ice cream.

"You have too much faith in me." I chuckle and finish my ice cream a few moments later. Being with Harry feels so normal and natural, I love how easy it is to talk to him.
We both pay the check and make our way out of the ice cream place.

"We should go there more often, it's really nice." Harry says as we walk out of the centre.

"I agree, I've never had such good ice cream. The company was pretty good too." I say and look over to see Harry with a huge grin on his face.

"Yeah, the company was really good." He says and unlocks the car. We both get inside and make our way back to my house, the car journey is filled with laughs and small talk with music in the background. Before we know it, we are already at my house, we get out of the car and go to the door. I unlock it and we walk inside, Harry runs to the couch and jumps on it.

I shake my head, "You're such a child." I laugh and he joins in, I walk over to the couch and pull him up.

"Let's make the fort." I say and he smiles. We immediately run around the room and gather as many blankets and pillows we can before chucking them in front of the t.v. After every soft material in the room have been collected we walk over to the pile. Harry stands there with his eyebrows furrowed and his arms crossed across his chest.

"Take the thin blanket and lay it across the floor then lay the pillows around in a circle. Then take the other two blankets and we can hang them above us and then the last blanket to cover us." He says and I nod and grab the blanket, he grabs the other side and we place it on the ground. Whilst Harry starts hanging the blankets over our heads, I place the pillows in a circle to make sure we will be comfortable. After doing the pillows, I help Harry. We tie one of the sides to the banister and the other side over the couch.

"Perfect." He says and I hold up my hand.

"Not yet." I say and run up the stairs.

"Go get some snacks, I will be back in a minute!" I shout to Harry from upstairs.

"Ok!" He replies, I get in to my room and grab my fairy lights and run down the stairs with them. This will add a comforting yet romantic feel to the fort. I get down the stairs and place the fairy lights around the fort and then turn them on, I then turn off the main light in the room.

"Wow." Harry says as he enters the room.

"It's lovely isn't it?" I ask and he nods. He walks over and bends to get inside the fort and drops all the food on the floor. I get inside the fort and lean against the pillows, Harry sits next to me moments later.

"I've never done this before." I admit.

"Built a fort?" He asks.

"Yeah, I don't know why." I say and he chuckles.

"It's fun to make, isn't it?" He asks and I nod, I turn to look at him and he does the same. He leans in and connects our lips together, every time I kiss Harry, it feels like the first time, every time. The way our lips move in sync, it makes the butterflies in my stomach go crazy. He pulls away slowly and connects them once more before draping his arm around my shoulders.

"This is amazing." I say.

"What is?" He asks.

"This fort, being with you." I smile.

"I love spending time with you Gen." He admits and I lay my head on his chest.

"I love spending time with you too Harry." I smile, he gives me a kiss on my head and turns on the tv.

"What are we going to watch?" He asks and I shrug.

"How about Me Before You?" I ask.

"Isn't that a sad film." He asks and I nod.

"Yes, I've watched it so many times and I cry for ages. It's one of my most favourite films." I say and he clicks on it.

"I'm warning you, I cry a lot." I laugh and he joins in.

"You have my shoulder to cry on." He says and I can't help but smile.

It's an hour in and I'm already balling my eyes out, "They are so cute together." I cry whilst rubbing away my tears with a tissue. I look over at Harry and tears are streaming down his face too.

"They are!" He says and hugs me tightly. I can't help but laugh at how ridiculous we must look right now but I don't mind.

After the movie finished, Harry and I sat and spoke about how the movie was and how sad we were.

"I told you I cry a lot." I say and he chuckles.

"I didn't know this movie was that sad, it makes you connect with the characters so much and then when he dies..." he cries, I wrap my arms around him.

"You're such a cutie, I love seeing you so emotional." I say whilst tears still steam down my face.

"I feel like my heart is broken after watching that." He chuckles.

"Mines broken too" I admit.

"After watching the film, not anything else, right?" He asks, worry clear in his voice.

"Of course." I smile and he returns the gesture. I examine his beautiful face, it's all red and puffy from all the crying but he still looks absolutely breathtaking. As every day passes, I fall more and more in love with this man. I hope he feels the same.
