Beautiful Bastard [H.S]

12•Walk with Me

Alexis's pov

Harry pushed me in my wheelchair we'd just finished lunch and I was going back to my room but I saw the wind in the trees through the large windows all the new blooms were swaying

"I'd like to go outside" I said and looked back at Harry he stopped and nodded

"Okay" he steered me out into the garden

Once we go out I sighed the wind hit in just the right force so my hair was blowing but it wasn't getting knotted I felt my skin soaking up warm sun rays

"It's a lovely day" Harry commented standing still he was probably feeling the breeze himself and stood there to appreciate it

"Can you help me walk?" I asked a bit timidly

"Of course my lady" he locked my wheels and walked around he grabbed my waist and helped me up I hissed sharply as my foot touched the ground

Harry had helped me walk 2 times before this but each time he looked like he was in pain with the faces he made I knew it was sympathy for me and my foot pain

"Take it slow Majesty" he smiled "you're doing very well"

I was limping terribly and I know he only said that for encouragement I don't think I walked well at all I walked much like a baby horse taking its first steps after birth

He was walking me down an aisle on either side of us was in bloom rose bushes I smiled and stopped Harry jumped but saw what I was doing I picked a rose and started to pull off the thorns

Harry was holding my sides to keep me standing when I finished picking the thorns I handed it to him

He stared at it "it's for you" I clarified he took it and looked it over

"It's beautiful thank you" he twirled it looking at the velvety petals

"Put it in your breast pocket" he slipped it in and smiled at me

"thank you my Queen" he said cheerfully we started walking again

We got to the edge of the pond but I kept us far from the rim "I don't wanna be too close I can't swim" I mumbled an explanation

He nodded "I'm an excellent swimmer I'd save you" he rubbed my side

I gasped as my foot hit a rock I hadn't seen I hissed and nearly fell forward the rock was minuscule ,barely anything, but I wasn't ready for the shock I got as I hit it

"Woah woah I've got you" he held me tighter

"C-can we sit? that really hurt" I held him tighter

"Yeah" he sat down and pulled me down slowly he put me in his lap I shifted a bit but he looked comfortable

"Have you started reading The Raven?" I asked Harry he nodded

"I started why does everything you show me involve death?"

"Because that's what brilliant people choose to write" I shrugged

He sighed and moved his legs under me to get comfy he was leaned back his hands in the grass his hair and jacket blowing with the wind
