Love & Hatred (Conor and Harry Fanfic) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 7

The next day, as always. Conor walks his way to school.

He always looks down, so he didn't notice that he bumped onto someone.

"I-I'm sorry." As he looked down.

"O'Malley?"

A voice that sound familiar to him, he slowly looked up. Until he noticed it's Harry.

"Harry?"

"O'Malley. Good timing. I was about to go to the room also. Er... Wanna come with me? If you dont mind." As he scatch the back of his neck.

"Yeah. Sure. I wouldn't mind." Conor respond.

Both of them entered the room,sitting in their seats.

As both of them fell silence through out the whole class discussion.

Finally, it's time for their break time.

As always, Conor sits alone, not even paying attention to his food as he only pays attention on his drawings.

All of a sudden a loud bang of his table startled him. He quickly looked up of who it is.

"Scared you, huh?" Harry looked down at him.

"Not really.." Conor lied. As he continued looking at his old drawings.

"Yeah. Sure." As Harry sits down in front of him.

"Why are you here? Thought you'll be with your friends." Conor said, who is still looking down at his drawings.

"Why? Does it bother you?" Harry asked him.

"It doesn't." Conor replied.

"Then why did you asked?" Harry asked him once again.

Conor looked up at him"Its just. New to me? Cause more often you're always with them. Not with-" Conor looked down again. "-Me." He continued.

Both of them fell silent. As Harry plays his food with fork. As Conor kept on flipping of the pages of the sketchbook.

"You know." Harry suddenly speaked.

Conor looked up with confusion in his eyes.

"After all this time. You still looked very odd." Harry continued.

"Why is that?" Conor asked.

"You looked small and fragile, as always. It was like, in just any little words people told about you, it seems like you were about to be broken."

Harry got close to him. Like, Harry is leaning to the table to get close to him.

"Tell me O'Malley. After all this time. How do you still figured out to be this strong? After what I always said and did to you back then. You still manage to be strong."

"The truth is. Harry, Im not strong. Im completely weak and... limp..." Conor mumbled."

"Not after what you did to me back then." Harry added.

"No. I've... always been weak. I cant even stand anyone making fun of my mother's condition. It actually, makes me more weaker and weaker. Now that... she's... gone..." Conor looked down. Holding back the tears. As he sniffed.

Harry's eyes widen.

"Hey. Are you alright?" Harry asked him, a worried in his voice.

"Dont worry." Conor then looked up at him. "Im just fine." As Conor smiled a bit.

"I see." Harry responded.

"You know... you should finish your food. Break time is almost over." Conor told Harry.

"Same to you. Finish your food now. So that you won't be limp." Harry joked.

As both of them chuckled.

Class is over. The weather is also good outside. Which is, Conor thinks its good enough for him to take picture using the camera.

He got out, looking for his favorite place at the school. Which is the garden near the school.

He walked, making his way to the bench he always sat onto every morning.

All of a sudden, he stopped walking, as he saw there, Harry, who is quietly talking to hiself.

Conor got closer to him.

"What are you doing here?" Conor approached Harry, making Harry jolt in suprise.

"Wh-what do you mean? Why? Am I not allowed to be in here?" As Harry crossed his arms.

"Its not that. Its just that its new to me, for you, being in this kind of place."

"Im still a human, O'Malley. Not some kind of monster who only hides."

Conor shrugged. "Guess you have a point." As Conor sits beside him.

Conor then took out the camera.

"A camera, huh? What were you going to do with it?" Harry asked.

"Will test it out." As Conor focused the camera at a bird who is in a tree, he then clicked the button.

Conor checked it, as he smiled gently on how it looked.

"May I see?" Harry asked. Making Conor turn his head to Harry.

"Yeah. Sure." As Conor hands the camera to Harry.

Harry take a looked at it. Amazed. As he clicked the previous button.

His eyes widen, as he saw a picture of Conor who is trying the camera in front of the mirror.

"Well, did not expect you'll do this." Harry spoke.

Conor looked at him as Conor got close to him to look at the camera.

"What is it-" Conor's eyes widen. His cheeks started to redden.

"Give me that! You were not suppose to see that!" Conor tries to snatch it to him, but Harry quickly got up, raising his hand where the camera is.

"Dont want me to see it? Then take it." Harry teased.

Conor didn't hesitate. He tried to reach it as he jump. But still, Harry was too tall for him to reach it. But he didn't stop. He kept on jumping.

"Give it back!" Conor kept on reaching it.

All of a sudden, Harry moves a little backward, but still Conor follows him.

Harry kept walking backwards. Until, Conor tripped on a rock, making Harry catch him.

Both of them are close to each other. Conor's hands still rainsing to get his camera.

Both of their faces are close, as Harry's widen eyes looked Conor on the eyes. Which are also wide.

Harry closed his eyes. Then sighed. "Alright, I yield." He said handing Conor the camera back.

"Good decision." As Conor playfully punch Harry in the arm. "Dont do that again."

Harry slightly rubbed his arms. "I wont."

"We should be going, it's already afternoon." Conor put his camera back inside the bag.

"Yeah. Guess, you're right." Harry respond.

"I-I'll be going now. Bye!" As Conor got away leaving Harry alone.

Harry then smiled to hiself.

"Silly."
