His Feisty Tiger

12

When we got back, it was like we all instantly bonded, after that experience we came back knowing more about each other than we ever thought. Carlos' mom's one true love is her furs, not Carlos, to everyone's shock. Jay's dad only cares about gold and money, Evies mom only cares about beauty. My dad just cares about getting his son back and try's to force me to be someone I'm not, and Mal's mom, well, she doesn't love anyone, or anything. It was a long journey, but we each grew from it, making each and everyone of us stronger in our own way.

"Hey dad sorry I'm-"

"Your late."

"Yes, dad I know but-"

"There is no excuse for your absence! Why if Kovu was here he'd be better than you ever could be!"

"Dad if you-"

"This is why he would've been king! And you would be nothing! Your such a disappointment!"

I smiled at the end of his statement 'you know what? Good.' I thought as he yelled at me to get back down stairs and work, I happily gave him a nod and walked off.

Later that day I met back up with Mal, Carlos,Evie, and Jay as the four of use looked up at Mal on her terrace.

"Mal! Come down!"

Jay yelled as Evie jumped in"Your mom was mad?" Mal rolled her eyes"that's putting it mildly, she told me I'm such a-" the four of us finished her sentence "disappointment"  we all gave her a smile, Jay shrugged"It's cool, we're all in the doghouse" Carlos glared at him"Hey, watch it" I chuckled as I put a hand on Carlos shoulder, he looked back and sent me a smile. Evie then said"Trouble, he meant we're all in trouble" we looked back up at Mal as she said"Yeah, I guess we are" I nodded my head"But we're together" i said as I put both arms around the two boys beside my making them laugh. Mal ended up coming down, as we spent the rest of the day together walking around and causing mischief.

The end of the day came fast as we all went our separate ways home, I ended up walking by myself as I strolled through the streets of the Isle. I felt myself being watched, quickly turning around I noticed no one behind me, so I shrugged it off and kept walking. The feeling quickly grew at the pit of my stomach causing me to walk a bit faster, I was about to walk past an alleyway when someone pushed me into it, holding me against the wall by my shirt. I kept a straight face as a quick punch was thrown to my face I bit my lip in pain"You! If it weren't for you, he'd still be with me!" Another punch was sent to my face as my head flew back and hit the wall behind me, I groaned in pain as my head throbbed, I tried to get a sentence out"Wha-what are you talking about?" I knew the voice from somewhere but I couldn't remember, my head was all foggy and all I could think about was the pain in the back of it. "You know damn well what I'm talking about! You took Harry from me you fucking bitch!" Another punch was sent to my face, causing my head to lean over one side 'if I don't start blocking her punches I might just get knocked out.' I coughed a bit and bit my lip but I decided to say something anyway"I didn't take Harry from anyone, he never said he had a girlfriend! Look I'm sorry if you-" she screamed"Shut up!" I waited for the impact to come but it never did. I felt her hand let go of my shirt, I couldn't see anything, it was pitch black, I suddenly heard his voice"Uma, what the fuck are ya doin?!" I listened waiting for her to respond to him"She took you from me! I told her I wasn't gonna-" he cut her off as I stood there debating wether I should leave or stay. "Oh my god, Uma! Listen to yourself! This isn't you! What's happened to you?" His voice sounded gentler to her when he asked the question, like he was concerned about her. 'What am I still doing here? This isn't my problem, I should just leave' I shook my head a bit and walked off as I heard Harry's voice"(Y/n), Tiger, Wait!" I just shook my head and kept walking. 'Keep walking (Y/n), don't worry about him, everything's fine, just go home and sleep.'

Once I got home I ran up to my room and flopped on my bed, I ran my fingers through my hair, I stared up at the ceiling in thought.

'He was dating Uma? So why would he just cheat on her like that? He never told me about this? Why didn't he just tell me the truth instead of playing with my feelings?

"Fuck you Harold Hook." I muttered to myself as a breeze blew through my window making me shiver "I'm not opposed to the idea" I quickly sat up sending a shooting pain through my head, making me grab my head and look over to the window to see Harry standing by it, smirk and all. "What the hell do you want Hook?" I sent him a glare as he shut the window behind him.

"I just wanted to make sure your okay..."

He ran a hand through his hair and shut the curtains, it wasn't unusual, it was what he always did when he wanted to have a serious talk. I stayed quiet and through my legs over the bed"Can we please talk?" I stared at the ground in front of me"Depends, are we gonna talk or are you just going to apologize by making out with me and-" he quickly cut me off.

"(Y/n), I'm serious."

I raised my head up to look at him, I now noticed that he didn't have his hook on, it was hanging from his belt, his usual smirk, completely gone, replaced with a slight frown, and his eyes, they held worry and anger.

He ran another hand through his hair as I watched him sigh and make his way over to me, sitting down beside me on the bed. "Listen..." he started as he stared at the ground"Listen, I-..I'm sorry, about what Uma did, I thought...I thought I loved her-" I cut him off with a slight glare, hurt could be seen in my eyes"So then why did you-" he snapped his head up to look at me"Just let me explain!" His face held anger at first but soon his look softened into a sorrowful one, as he placed a hand on my cheek, bringing his forehead to mine as he closed his eyes"Please..." I closed my eyes and sighed, leaning into his touch as he waited for a response"okay." I mumbled as a light smile graced his lips, he pulled away, his hand traveled down to grasp mine, I let him, and waited for him to continue.

"I thought, I loved her, but I didn't... it got to a point where I was forcing myself to love her, to be by her side, every time we had sex I just... I'd just feel nothing, and every morning I'd wake up with that same empty feeling." He paused for a second then continued"that is, until you came along, that moment when I saw you in the hallway again after years of having nothing to do with you, it's like something in me sparked, something about you, I thought it was nothing so I didn't mind it. But I constantly wanted to be near you and around you, so I came up with that game since we were partners, I thought that I'd win, and I promised myself that I wouldn't get attached but..." he sighed and stared at his hands"it's hard not to get attached to the person you love, I had to break things off with Uma and she suspected that it had to do something with you, when really, it was just me..."

He looked over at me, I stayed quiet as I stared at him, processing everything that he said. "Look, I get if you feel hurt that I didn't-" I quickly kissed him, he was surprised at first but kissed back, one of my hands got tangled in his hair while the other wrested on the back of his neck, pulling his head down towards me a bit. His hands grabbed my waist pushing me down onto the bed, he hovered over me as his lips left mine, leaving a trail of kisses down to my neck he mumbled "god, I fucking love you" as he started to bite and nip at my neck, I bit my lip trying to hold back a moan"H-Harry.." his hand started to slide up my shirt"Harry stop." I managed to say, as he shot his head up to look at me. Our eyes connected and he stared at me for a bit, retracting his hand from under my shirt"I'm... I'm just not ready for that." He nodded his head in understanding and got off me while sitting at the end of the bed, he stayed silent. I sat back up and scooted over next to him, we sat in silence until he spoke up "I understand if your not ready... but, at least let me know one thing." He stared at the ground in front of him as I nodded my head"of course" he stayed quiet as if trying to figure out how to word it.

"Is it because of all the stuff that people say about me?..."

I looked over at him only to see him still staring at the ground. "I guess but-" He cut me off, whipping his head over to face me as a sincere look came across his face"I promise I won't do anything to hurt you, trust me..." I put my hand on his cheek, as he leaned into my touch, I slowly kissed him, he automatically kissed back as his hands gripped my waist. I broke the kiss, leaning our foreheads together

"Okay.."

I whispered out of breath as his eyes shot open, a smile graced his lips.

"I trust you.."
