We'll Never Go Out Of Style (harry styles imagines)

If I Could Fly

Inspired by the song 'If I Could Fly' from the album 'Made In The A.M'

"Stay," he whispered in the darkness. The pearlescent light of the moon allowed you to see him sitting by the kitchen window, staring out into the night. You crossed the room to him, the cold tiles beneath your feet numbing your toes. Once you sat down across from him, he reached out and grabbed your hand. The warmth that encased your fingertips spread up your arm and circulated through you.

"Harry," you begin, testing the already rocky waters. "Are you alright?" Silence hovered in the air, Harry tore his gaze from the stars and turned it to you.

"Do you want the sad truth or the beautiful lie?" He sighed, the normally piercing emerald of his eyes dulled by the weight of sleepless nights. And although you desperately wanted to know the truth, to comfort him, you knew exactly what he wanted you to choose.

"Tell me beautiful lies, Harry..." You whispered, hugging your knees to your chest.

"I'm fine."

It broke your heart to hear those words float from the mouth of that wonderful man. His strength, his composure, all of it, torn down by two simple words. And although he tried so hard to keep it together, the facade cracked and tears dripped down his cheeks. You pushed yourself across the small space to him and opened your arms. He leaned in, resting his head on your shoulder, and cried. The two of you sat there for what seemed like years as you traced patterns on his back in an attempt to soothe him.

"I want you to promise me something," Harry muttered, taking your hand once more and holding it to his chest.

"Anything." You whispered into his hair. Silence fell, filled only by the sounds of soft breathing.

"Promise me you'll never fall in love."

Your breath hitched in your throat as the words danced circles around your head. Taking a deep breath, you sighed through your teeth and promised him you would never fall in love. Little did he know, the fingers of your free hand were crossed behind your back.

He had no clue that it was already too late to make that promise...
