You were currently in the studio, recording your next album. The song that you were working on at the moment, was called Perfect. You had written this song about a past relationship, actually your last boyfriend.

Your best friend, Harry, who you actually met right after you broke up with this boyfriend, was sitting in the studio with you. He had never heard this song before or read the lyrics. He knew that you had been in a tough relationship, which was one reason he never had pursued his feelings towards you.

Harry was here because you wanted his honest opinion on this song. It was going to be the most personal and hardest song to sing on the album and you knew that his input would make it amazing.

"Are you ready Y/N?" The producer asks.

"Yeah." You nod. "Are you Harry?"

"Yeah. Get started and I can see what we're working with." He smiles.

You nod putting the headphones on and taking a deep breath.

"I can taste her lipstick and see her laying across your chest. I can feel the distance every time you remember her fingertips. I can taste her lipstick and see her laying across your chest. I can feel the distance every time you remember her fingertips. Maybe I should be more like her. Maybe I should be more like her
I can taste her lipstick, it's like I'm kissing her, too.. Ay, she's perfect."You sing the final lyric.

You had teared up a bit singing the song and when you looked out beyond the glass, you see Harry who also had tears in his eyes. You both stare at each other for a while, when you break the silence first.

"So, uh, what did you think?" You ask nervously.

"It was.. It was really good." Harry says. "Amazing, actually." He says clearing his throat. "But umm. I wrote down a few ideas.. to maybe make it flow a bit more.." He says.

"Okay. Let's hear them." You say.

After you two left the studio, you went out for some dinner.

"So uh.. that song.. I didn't realize how personal it was going to be for you or that you felt that way." Harry says.

"Yeah." You sigh. "It's been like three years since I was even with him, but that song just brings me back to that place sometimes." You say.

"He really hurt you didn't he?" Harry says.

"Yes.. and no." You say. "I mean the fact that he was cheating hurt me, yes, and the fact that we once had this amazing relationship and now it was just turning to complete shit, hurt me, but I think I hurt myself worse during that time. I stayed when I knew that I shouldn't have. I was the one who was comparing myself to some girl that I never even met. I was the one who kept remembering the good times and how I felt during that time, that I was trying to use those moments to make myself seem happy." You sigh.

"But truthfully.. It wasn't until after I wrote this song that I gathered the courage and broke it off with him." You say. "I never truly knew or understood how I felt until I saw those words on paper and honestly.. the saddest moment of that time, was when I wrote that song, not even the break up. I mean most people assume that a break up is so sad and miserable because it's an ending. But I needed that ending so I could start a new beginning for myself and be happy. I never once cried over that breakup. I cried more during the relationship then after." You say. "And then I met you." You laugh.

"It was two days after I broke up with him, that we met." you smile.

"Yeah. It was at one of Ed's shows." He smiles.

"Yeah." You laugh.

After a moment of silence, Harry reaches over for your hand.

"I'm really sorry that you had to go through that Y/N.." He whispers. "You didn't deserve that."

"No, I didn't, but It's in the past now. I'm never going to put myself back in that place." you say.

"Is that why you haven't really dated anyone since then?" He asks.

"Maybe." You shrug. "I just.. I promised myself that I wouldn't be with just anyone." You say.

Harry nods. "Am I considered anyone?" He whispers quietly.

"What?" You whisper.

"I have feelings for you Y/N. I have for a while." He whispers. "I knew that you were hurt before and after hearing that song, I realize just how painful that had to be to go through that. I promise you that I'm not like that. I won't cheat on you. I won't make you feel like you're not good enough. I'll be a cheesy romantic sap when you needed. I'll be a shoulder to cry on. I'll continue to be your best friend, but with just a little more loved involved." He laughs. "I don't know how you feel about me, but I feel like I want to take that jump into falling in love with you." He whispers.

"Y-You have feelings for me?" You say softly.

"I do, yeah." He nods.

"I do too." You say. "I mean I have feelings for you too."

"Really?" Harry smiles.

"Yeah." You laugh.

"Why haven't you said anything?" He asks.

You shrug. "I don't know.. I guess I just thought that it probably wouldn't work out." You sigh.

"Why not?" Harry asks a bit hurt.

"Because Harry. I mean we both live in and out of hotel rooms for most of the year. We're both apart for months at a time... I just that will take it's toll on anyone." You sigh.

"I know it's not going to be easy, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't just try. I mean why do we have go into a relationship expecting it to last forever. It could get to that, maybe, but why can't we just live here in the moment and spend time together. We're both still young and we have feelings for one another. And we already make time for each other now when we're just friends." He says.

"And even though we both are in this business and we can't even go out without cameras flashing and in our face, but we both are able to understand what we go through. We know what to expect." He says.

"So basically you're saying that we're perfect for each other?" You say with a laugh.

"For now, yeah." He says taking your hand. "So, what do you say?"

You smile leaning over to kiss him. He smiles, kissing you back. After a bit, you both pull away.

"So, I guess that's a yes?" He laughs.

"Yes." You laugh.

He laughs. "Good, do you have anything else planned for the rest of the day?" He asks.

"No." You laugh.

"Then let's start us right now." He smirks throwing some cash on the table and taking your hand, heading to his car.
