simon looked down at harry with a smile, the small boy had his head rested in the taller's lap as the two watched a movie in harry's room. simon was sure that he was starting to fall for the boy despite not knowing him for long.

simon couldn't help but run his hand through harry's hair, twirling the hair in his fingers. harry briefly turned to look at him with a lopsided smile before turning back to look at the tv. simon took this as a cue to continue playing with the boy's hair.

the film finished and harry tiredly sat up, leaning his head against simon's shoulder. simon wrapped an arm around harry, pulling him closer to his body. the two just sat in each others embrace for a good ten minutes, enjoying the relaxing almost-silence and each other's company.

harry was staring weirdly at simon's face, causing the older of the two to raise a questioning eyebrow. harry completely ignored it, continuing to analyse simon's face whilst he weighed some things up in his mind.

before he even had a chance to dwell on the positives simon hand leant his forehead against harry's. the two boys sat there, not even breathing, staring at each other waiting for the other to do something.

simon started to lean in for a kiss but quickly got scared and stopped himself causing harry to frown. the two sat there for a moment, the smaller of the two realising that simon just wasn't going to make a move so he took matters into his own hands.

harry gently placed his lips against simon's the taller smiling into the kiss as he pulled harry onto his lap. simon's fingers grazed the skin of harry's side as he wrapped his arm's around him, harry's tshirt rising up slightly.

the kiss was messy and a little awkward, but the boys were happy. although simon couldn't help the sad feeling in his chest as he thought about how he'd need to go home in a few days.
