Being the klutz that you are, it didn't came across to you as surprising when you tripped over your own shoelaces and landed palms forward to the ground, scraping your knee in the process.

You bit your bottom lips down as hard as you could to avoid the stupid tears from falling because my God, does it hurt! You looked down and realized that the skin were scraped and you could see through the inner layer with a smear of blood. Gross.

You immediately stood up before anyone noticed and tried to ignore the pain, continuing to work normally.

~~~~~~~~~

You can finally let out a groan as you opened the front door to you and Harry's house. You have been limping all the way from the bus stop to here. You didn't bother putting on a plaster on it because you didn't even have time anyway. You went upstairs to take a soothing and relaxing bath.

Harry was back about half an hour after you. He grinned immediately and pulled you into a huge bear hug, kissing the top of your head.

"How's my baby girl today?" He asked politely.

"Good." You squeezed a smile, not wanting him to worry. After all, your clumsiness is not something he could help with anyway.

He smiled even wider and led you towards the kitchen. He told you he was cooking dinner tonight so you just sat on the dining table, entertaining him while he starts preparing the ingredients.

~~~~~

He was done serving the pasta, placing it on the counter. You went over behind the counter to help him get it over to the table. As you walked towards him, he stopped you. Holding you back arm distance, he took another look at your knee.

"Babe! What happened there?" He pointed at your scraped knee.

"Uhmm.... I tripped over and scraped my knee today at work." You confessed bashfully.

"Why didn't you tell me then?" He asked concernly.

"Mehh.... wasn't that important..." I shrugged nonchalantly.

"Babe, c'mere." He took you by the wrist and pulled you towards the closest dining chair.

He sat you down and scrambled to get some antiseptic and plaster from the medicine cabinet.

He bent down in front of me and blew lightly on my wound. I cringed at how the insignificant movement even hurt. He noticed my expression and muttered an apology.

"This looks pretty deep, honey." His eyebrows furrowed nervously.

"Harry honestly, it's nothing! You really don't have to treat me like a baby. I can apply the plaster myself." I offered, feeling slightly pampered but uncomfortable at the same time. 

Harry is honestly such a gentleman... I gushed in my head.

"Awww, look at this! My poor baby's got a boo-boo...." He mocked, doing the exact opposite of what I just said, treating me even more like a baby.

I rolled my eyes jokingly: "Oh boo hoooooo...."

He chuckled and smeared the cream on my carefully. I winced as the cream burned my wound.

"Easy love, this is worth it. You'll definitely feel better soon." He consoled.

He then tear off the wrapper of the plaster and applied it right on top of my wound. He looked up and noticed me staring at him. 

"What?" 

"You just look so manly and hot now." I blushed, glancing at him one more time before ducking my head. His position (bending over me) just added the romantic-ness of this situation and I felt my heartbeat quicken.

"Oh please, I'm always hot and manly." He rolled his eyes at me and pinched my cheeks.

"Sure sure."

We just stared at each other in silence after that, me feeling so in love with this perfect guy in front of me. 

"Oh shit, our dinner's gone cold!" He exclaimed and I laughed at how we've lost track of time so easily.

~~~~~~~~~~~

After the dinner, me and Harry resumed our normal routine: cuddling on the couch. The TV wasn't on, neither is our phones in sight. I felt more than contended without anything but him. 

He caressed my hair with his lips, running them through gently while I played with his large hands.

"Babe, promise me one thing." He suddenly requested.

"Yeah?"

"Don't ever think that your health and well-being is not important because it's the most important thing in the world to me. Please tell me everything if you're hurt, I'll do anything I can to make it feel better." He looked straight into my eyes with sincerity.

"Even insignificant boo-boos?" I giggled softly, burying my face into his chest.

"Especially that, darling."
