— Bambi is outside in the last of the day's sun rays, soaking in the vitamin D while killing some time by hanging up her newly-cleaned laundry- the wooden clothespins pinching her fingertips every once and awhile.

The pretty girl has been trying her best to keep herself occupied, from bothering her parents about wanting to get a job to constantly ringing up one of her friends- making sure to stay out of complete boredom. She's acknowledged that's she probably being a bit annoying- comparing herself to a clingy leech type but she couldn't help herself, Bambi craved interaction and company- both of those being what Harry provides her every time he's around.

As Bambi does her chores her silk hair pesters her face, tickling her cheeks and getting caught in her eyelashes- the butterfly constantly having to push them out of her face to see what she was doing while a record spins nearby.

"Stand in the sea, sing songs for me, sing happily, making me feel good.

Watching your eyes, feeling your sighs, saying goodbyes better than I could.

There's only us simply because thinking of us makes us both happy."

Bambi beams as one of her favorite records play on the player, getting too caught up in the music to watch where the clip goes as she pinches herself yet again- the girl letting out a small yelp while she doubles over in a small whine from her carelessness.

That's when she feels someone wrap their arms around her from the back, the berry snapping up into the person's chest as she looks down and see's a a hand with a cross tattoo holding baby-breaths. Bambi sighs in relief as she relaxes in her lover's grip, Harry chuckling as he presses a swollen kiss to her temple, "little jumpy today, aren't we?"

"Shush it you scared me." The petal smiles as Harry turns her around in his grip, holding the baby-breaths snug against her back as he pouts, "m'sorry I frightened you, baby. Love me please?" Bambi can't help but melt at his heart-softening words, her lips rolling into her mouth for some moisture before leaning forward and slotting their lips together- it being short but packed with electric passion.

Bambi pulls away from the kiss as Harry internally groans from the affection ending sooner than he wanted it to. "As promised, here's a bouquet of baby breaths for the sweet girl with the cherry cheeks." The girl smiles at him as she accepts the flowers from his grip- noticing how her lover made sure to clip off any extra leaves from the stem, "thank you, my savior."

Harry chuckles at the sarcasm of the bunny before she questions, "how was your day, dreamy? I missed you a bunch."

"I missed you more, baby." He says as he sighs, "work was crazy today. This old grandma kept asking for daisies but when I gave her them she said they were roses." Bambi chuckles at this, knowing Harry would try to keep his cool while he explains to the granny for the hundredth time he knew which flowers were what. "And house-hunting was a success. Found a cute little cottage not too far off that I think will be perfect for us."

Bambi's eyes widen at his final sentence, the word 'us' echoing in her head as her stomach flips just at the thought of living with him. The picture of waking up to his smiley face every morning and hearing his gravelly voice as he spills adoration into her ear as they watch the sun rise being too perfect to even imagine. She wants nothing more to share a home with him, the thought exciting her and making her want to move in right now.

Harry notices her silence after he finishes, his heart beat picking up as he worries if he's moving too fast- thinking that maybe she wasn't ready to move out of her parents home. "Us? Would you want that?" The sunshine questions him, Harry nodding his head as he clears his throat. "Of course I do. I want to wake you up every morning with kisses, make love to you slowly as the sun rises, make us breakfast while you struggle with the daily crossword." Harry starts as Bambi grins, "I want to have our own little garden, one with all your favorite flowers that you can tend to while I play a record from the porch. I want it all- the good and the ugly. I want to start a new life here with you- never want to leave my baby again." Harry's showcase of want has the berry almost crying into his neck, her heart exploding because everything he's imagined- is what she dreamed of with him. She wants that exact life with him, inching to run up the stairs and pack up all her stuff up now.

"I want that too, Harry. I'm ready."

And with that her lover bursts into a ground-breaking smile, his bunny teeth on display as his knuckle comes up to caress her cheek softly, making Bambi's breath stagger from the innocent touch that makes her lips tingle with want. Harry's love organ pounds in his chest, his ribcage feeling almost too small while he connects the sin and the saint- the luscious mix of overdosing daisy and sunshine bliss coursing through their love-sick souls.

"Gonna be mine forever, B. I love you so much- god you make me so fuckin' happy."

Yesterday and Today, the melody of the track that makes it feels as if an era of their life is coming to an end- although, the sense of a new start lingers in the air.

"I love you so much more, dreamy. I can't wait for what tomorrow and the future holds." She smiles as Harry hums, the moment they're sharing sacred and heavenly in a way.

"I think of you ev'ry way, yesterday and today.

I think of nothing but you, things we do, things we do."

"Harry my boy! You know I love you.. but if you hurt my baby girl's feelings I might just dropkick you back to England myself." Thomas chuckles as he pours himself a glass of bourbon, gesturing the bottle to Harry- who, politely declines.

"Don't think you'll have to be worrying about that. I would never even think about hurting her." Harry alerts as Bambi's father claps his hand on his shoulder, "I know and that's why I'm really happy she has someone like you. You'll treat her right, yeah?" Harry nods his head with a small grin, a proud glint shining in Thomas' eyes as he shakes his head while removing his hand- glancing over to the couch where Bambi sat with her mother. The sweet bubble looked happier than ever, her cheeks hurting from smiling so much when her mom says she supports her moving in with Harry.

"Okay, good. Just take good care of her. My baby will not be treated like how some men treat their steady's around 'ere." Thomas warns him as he takes a sip from the crystal class, swallowing the strong drink with a grimaced face.

"Don't worry, Tom. I promise I'll treat her with the highest respect there is. I love her too much to even think about treating her less than that."
