7:50 pm— Butterflies, beaming spectrums and a cosmic burst of trippy waves curve throughout Bambi's body- her insides turning to distorted mush the second her over foggy mind picked up the words, "I love you."
It was heart bursting- the amount of love and adoration in a simple three worded sentence that falls off some people's lips too carelessly. She has anticipated- almost craved to hear those words splash from his mouth like honey from a beehive for months now, the 'I love you's' in the letters months prior being reassuring to her- but not good enough.
Harry's adams apple bobs in his throat- his eyes twitching open to look down at the precious baby who rests on his chest. Bambi is completely still, her doe eyes already looking up at him with pure shock as she parts her mouth- her breathing hard and staggered as she lines her tender lips with her tongue.
"I love you more."
The petal was beyond relieved to finally say those words, words that almost slipped out one too many times- comparing the satisfying feeling to when she finally fishes the cherry from the bottom of her favorite shirley temple.
You could say she's over the moon.
Harry exhales a breath he didn't know he was holding, his mind put at rest to hear her soft melody return the same meaningful sentence- an added warmth touching his heart when she added the candied 'more'.
There's so many things he wants to say to Bambi- words that can make up for the months missing. He wants to shower her in affection and devotion- make compassion seep through his skin. Although, he's still out of it from the share of intimacy they shared only moments ago- so the only thing that he can make out is a cheeky, "oo la la."
The darling that's nestled on him bursts into a titter, her head plummeting against his chest whilst Harry laughs from a short tickle that's caused by her hair against his stomach.
"Heyyy- I just spilled my guts to ya and you laugh at me? Meanie." Harry pouts playfully, crossing his arms across his chest like a child. Bambi knew it was an act- but she goes along with it anyway. "Noooo come back to me, baby. M'sorry." The doe coos, stifling a giggle when Harry continues to be stubborn to her- not ignoring the flutter in his chest from the name 'baby'.
"What if I give you a rice krispy? Will you forgive me then?" Bambi questions and smiles when his ears perk at the mention of the marshmallow treat. "Perhaps..."
The petal gets out of his embrace- sitting up shakily as she rushes to the car, reaching under to the candy under the driver's seat Harry showed earlier, grabbing the square package.
Harry lounges flat against the floor- grabbing his shirt and covering himself as she wobbles back over, his mess dripping down the inside of her leg. "Mm, baby. Gotta get you back soon to clean you up." He reminds her- leaning up and patting her bottom affectionately.
"Okay! But can we go back to Niall's? I don't feel like ditching you yet." She queries whilst passing the candy to him, Bambi plopping herself next to him. "Anything you want, peach."
"Bambi?" Harry catches her attention after few moments of deafening silence- Bambi sitting up to meet his gaze at the mention of her name. "Yeah, dreamy?"
"M'too out of it to even give you words that make sense but I really do adore the shit out you." He starts, Bambi already feeling like she's melting. "Feel like cherries on top of cloud cream. Like a cosmic explosion." He splutters and Bambi giggles against his chest at his word vomit. "See? Dunno what M'saying- I don't know words to tell you how gushy I feel inside. God- you fucked the logic out of me."
"Harry!"
"What? Are we acting like you didn't call me daddy just a bit ago while having your lips wrapp-" Bambi quiets him with a kiss to his lips- Harry smirking at her tactic to shut him up- going along with the passionate caress.
The show of affection lasted only a minute- them still coming down from their high as they rest against each other. Harry's hand combs through the honeypot's hair as she traces the butterfly tattoo taut across his upper abdomen- finally deciding to spill her guts and have some word vomit of her own.
"I love you, Harry. And I know M'not that too good at saying what I mean but just know you're kept sweet in my memory- flourishing like the first patch of blooming flowers in Spring." Bambi admits- her heart speaking for herself as she glances up at him, smiling when she sees the heartwarming look in his eyes.

9:15 pm"I rang my mom and told her I was staying the night at Care's." Bambi alerts Harry when she gets back into his bed with him- freshly showered whilst wearing a Beatles shirt she could basically drown in.
"Okay, baby. Jus' don't want you to get in trouble if she finds out you weren't there." Harry frowns- pulling his girl against him, shuddering when her cold hair meets his bare chest.
"S'okay. She won't find out." Bambi reassures him and Harry nods- reaching for the clicker so he could put on something for the two of them to watch.
They got home around an hour ago, immediately stumbling into shower to clean their mess up- keeping it strictly just about washing each other instead of anything that can make Bambi's legs even more wobbly.
Then after the shower Harry made themselves dinner, deciding to make spaghetti since it was so simple. And after that Bambi said she needed to call her mom then they can go watch a movie cuddled up in his bed.
Which leads them to where they are now- nestled in each other's heat as Harry stops on the HBO channel recording some movie they both never seen before.
Bambi was nearly sleeping, about to wipeout into a complimation of dreams when Harry starts whispering in her ear, "hey, hey, hey" whilst poking her stomach.
"Yes, Harry?" She questions with a giggle, turning around to see a goofy smile on his face- one that makes her stomach flip.
"I love you."
"I love you more, dreamy."

Awe that was cute- hopefully?? Yes it was don't lie.
Man, I'm just on a roll this week- three updates in three days?? That's what I call not having a life.
Well I hope you guys enjoyed! Yes, I know the words I used to described the way they felt was a little silly (especially Harry) but I just think it fits their personalities? I honestly enjoyed writing that part the most.
Also- not to toot my own horn but can we just talk about how far my writing has grown- I mean.. it needs a lot of work and doesn't compare to half the writer's on this app but it's definitely evolved since the first chapter of Bambi and for that, makes me really proud of myself so yay :)
Thank you guys so much for reading! Please let me know what you all think. I love you guys so much and can't wait to see you again soon.
