Never | (Harry Styles AU) • COMPLETE

seven.

[reminder: there is a leap in time because this story isn't necessarily focused entirely on Bruno & Bianca's relationship in there early stages. You'll get a feel for there relationship and how it has affected everyone else still so no worries. Basically this is a filler because everything that's juicy and crazy and wrong and exciting is coming. 😜]

Harry's POV

"Hey do you think you can help me tie my..." I begin to say stopping in the middle of the doorway to my uncle's bedroom when I see him sitting at the edge of his bed, staring down at a small leather box.

"Oh Harry...I didn't hear you come in. Do you need help with your tie?" My uncle asks, shutting the box, leaving it on the bed before standing up to walk over to me.

"What is that," I ask him even though I have a pretty good idea.

"What is what?" He says, playing dumb.

I rush over to the bed, letting my tie dangle around my neck as I take the small box into my hand, flicking it open with my index finger.

"It's a...it's for Bianca," My uncle says, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Is this what I think it is?" I ask with a grin.

"Too soon?"

"It's been like what two weeks?" I joke.

"A month. It's been a month," He corrects me.

"You sure now is a good time for this? I mean Nina and Diego are still at camp. And you just opened that new hotel. Tonight should just focus on the grand opening. Why stress it?"

"I chose this day because I'm finally relieved from all the pressure that the hotel finalizations brought. And the kids will be back tomorrow morning. I want to know Bianca's answer before I tell them,"My uncle says eyeing the ring at the same time I do as if it's some super magical ring,"You know how Nina's been with the whole relationship. I just want to ease the idea on her."

"I don't think any amount of time will change Nina's opinion on Bianca," I tell him, handing over the box carrying the thin banned, tear drop shaped rock.

"I guess so," My uncle sighs,"I just really don't understand it. Bianca is an amazing woman, but Nina refuses to give her a chance."

"She's spoiled from all the attention you've given her,"I shrug truthfully,"I'm sure Nina was under the impression that she'd be the only woman in your life forever."

"Is it so wrong that I want another woman?" He says to me in a cracked voice, and I just know he's thinking about my aunt.

"She'd want you to be happy. She wouldn't want you miserable like this."

"I'm not miserable I'm just lonely," He corrects.

"Same thing."

"I figured why wait? We love each other. And I'm not getting any younger. I want to start my life with Bianca as soon as possible because in all honesty I can't see myself without her..."

"Maybe you're right...maybe it isn't the time for this," He says nervously, shoving the ring into his drawer, slumping down into a chair.

"Shit sorry," I say suddenly feeling like an inconsiderate asshole.

I mean this is my uncle we're talking about! If he wants to marry a woman he's only been dating for a month then like hell I'll support him. He's done so much for me, that he, more than anyone else, deserve to be happy.

"If you want to marry Bianca, then you marry Bianca," I tell him resting my hand on his shoulder,"I can tell you really love her. You're right, if it's love there is no reason to wait."
