— The sun is at it's peak of the afternoon, Harry having the two front windows down as Bambi rests on the sill. The radio is blasting "Hey Jude" by The Beatles, the pretty puppy singing the 'na-na na na' as she waves her hand through the strong summer winds, her hair flying all around.

Harry was enjoying this moment more than he could admit, the singing along and affectionate atmosphere bringing a radiant smile to his face.

"Almost there, peach." Harry speaks up as he turns the music down a notch or two, Bambi whining as she turns it back up. Harry cracks-up as he continues to drive, finally becoming brave enough to test the waters a little bit.

One of his hands slowly moves from the steering wheel and lightly rests on the skin above her knee, the feeling of the doe's silk skin beneath his palm making him satisfied.

Bambi gets goosebumps the second she feels his cold rings come in contact with her skin, turning back to him with a warm grin as she sighs dreamingly.

His touch is so gentle, something she's really missed from her past lover. The butterfly almost never wanted his hand to leave her knee.

But Matthew..

Bambi knew this wasn't right, even though the small gesture could be seen as an act of friendly comfort.

Harry noticed her uncertainty quickly, deciding to make the decision easier for her by placing his hand back on the wheel, the warm rubber not comparing to her smooth skin.

It hurt that the sunflower didn't melt into his touch like she used to, Harry wanting to slap himself for making her feel uncertain.

Bambi huffs out before glancing out the window, pouting as "Hey Jude" started to come to a closure. Harry clears his throat into his fist, announcing, "We're here."

The berry immediately perks up as Harry pulls into the lot, Bambi reading the signs across several buildings before spotting a certain one.

"Bowling?"

"You know it, B." Harry exclaims as he parks the car a bit away from the entrance, unbuckling his seatbelt as the fairy smiles.

Bambi knew all about Harry's love for bowling ever since this one night they played twenty questions, him rambling on about how he won a bet playing it once.

He looked so excited to talk about it, the bunny able to remember it just by the clear joy in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" He questions the puppy, noticing she was in thought.

"Nothing- sorry about that.." Bambi shakes it off as Harry opens his door, the pretty girl scooting over across the seats to get out on his side. Harry grabs the angel's hips, lifting her out of the car and onto the concrete with a light tap of her saddle shoes.

"Thank you" Bambi sings and Harry hums, walking her over to the entrance.

2:10 pm

The populous alley echoed of hefty bowling balls hitting the polished wood and 60's rock, the place completely stinking up of shoe disinfectant and floor wax.

Bambi coughs when they pass a group heavy smokers, Harry frowning a bit before guiding her over to the shoe counter- quickly.

"Hey. What ya need-" The british worker stops once his eyes land on Harry. "Aye, mate!" He suddenly says and Bambi eyes widen, recognizing the man as one of H's friends she met at the diner a year ago.

"Hey Zayn!" Harry greets while doing some short handshake with Zayn, one Bambi has seen other boys do at her school.

Zayn looks over to Bambi and smiles, nodding his head to her as a silent hello. "Hey.." She shyly mumbles, playing with her fingers behind her back.

"Okay so I need an alley- 1 game only." Harry talks to Z, the doe taking this time to glance around the booming building. Multiple alleys line both sides, Bambi guessing twenty on each one. There are many lights, them switching from pink to blue while a disco ball shines in the middle. She then spots a group of rascals from her high school, rolling her eyes when she sees the foolish boys smoking marlboros.

"What size you need, B?" Harry draws her attention back, Bambi looking down at her feet while muttering, "6.5 please"

"Ya heard the lady. 6.5 for her and 11 for me." He tells his friend, Zayn turning around to grab the two pairs off the large shelf. He places them on the counter, Harry smiling a thank you before taking them and giving Zayn a ten and five dollar bill.

"We're lane 12, B. C'mon now. Then we can put on our shoes." Harry begins leads her to the alley they'll use for the next hour or so, passing the group of boys from Bambi's school.

Joey, one of the immature teens, notices the innocent berry from their school- immediately whistling when she walks by. Bambi and Harry both look over to the left, seeing Joey flittering his fingers towards her while bitting down on his plump lip.

Bambi shivers, not in a pleasant way- as she slightly speeds up her walking, wanting to get away from the group quickly.

"Bambi, babe come 'ere" The fairy hears from behind her, Harry getting protective as he slings his arm around her shoulders, pulling her figure against him.

Harry can hear the scoff from Joey from where they walk, his eyes rolling at the disgusting boy's actions.

Bambi felt safe, this time not even bothering to resist as she melts into his side, embracing his soft touch.

"Thank you." The pretty girl beams, her hand coming to hold his thats resting on her shoulder.

"Anytime, Bambi. Y'know m'always here" Harry chimes, rubbing soft circles on the top of her hand as they continue to walk to the alley.
