little miss sunshine » harry au

part nine.

a month goes by without so much as a word from ciel.

harry goes back to watching her through his window. she seems sad, her shoulders sulked and earphones constantly in her ears. 

her parents have noticed, as far as harry could tell. when they arrive home from wherever they were prior, ciel quickly exits the bentley mulsanne and rushes inside, earbuds plugged in. harry can see her mother run after her, and then her father, who seems to be always shaking his head at his daughter.

obviously they don't understand. ciel had told harry countless times that her parents thought she was a perfect, upper-class daughter. one who maintains good grades, hangs around people in the same social class, and never got into any trouble. 

it seems as though they are quite wrong about their only daughter.

eventually harry figures he should go out, because all sitting around is doing is making him more sad and plenty more greasy. so, he takes a shower and heads out.

he's walking aimlessly down streets, pretty much losing his way. then he finds himself on a busy street with shops and restaurant, even a cinema.

he strolls down the street, peering in the windows of the shops. he comes to the cinema.

and of course, who's standing outside with her parents, wearing the cutest beanie?

harry's heart flips as ciel notices him, too. all of a sudden, she looks torn. her parents are literally standing right next to her. she bites her lip, which would usually make harry groan (it's a big turn on), but he can't get over how long it's been since he's had contact with this girl.

suddenly, ciel is running towards him, mouthing his name. harry opens his arms willingly and she flings herself into them. harry can see her parents looking curiously at the pair, but he doesn't care because ciel is in his arms and his head feels light and airy all over again. then ciel's pushing herself up to meet harry's lips and if he wasn't preoccupied, he would've gasped. he can feel ciel's father's stare burning holes into him so he just holds her tighter and kisses her harder.

once they pull away, ciel wraps her arms her arms around harry's waist and buries her head in his chest. harry nudges her neck with his nose and breathes in her scent.

ciel's father marches over to the pair and clears his throat. "and who are you?" he asks bluntly.

"harry styles, sir," harry replies, sticking out a hand.

mr. jensen eyes his hand like it's a foreign object. harry slowly retracts it.

"how old are you?"

and there it is. the lethal question. "i-i, um, i'm twenty."

mr. jensen sighs through his nose with his eyes shut tight. then he turns to ciel and beckons her over to him. "come on, ciel, we're going home."

ciel looks appalled. "i don't want to."

"ciel," he says sternly. "we are going home."

"but-"

"now," her father practically shouts. harry senses a feeling of dread wash over him as he realizes what's happening. "you are no longer to see this boy."

ciel cries out and hangs on tighter to harry. harry feels onlookers giving him looks of pity and he just wants them all to disappear. "ciel," he whispers into her hair. "you have to do what your father says."

"no."

"ciel, listen to me. at midnight on your eighteenth birthday, meet me at the community gate, okay? pack a bag." harry doesn't really know what he's saying. but what he does know is that this girl is very, very special and he doesn't want to stop seeing her. he doesn't even know if ciel would do as he asked, it was quite a lot to ask for.

"i will."

mr. jensen begins to pry ciel off of harry, so he kisses her forehead one last time and whispers in her ear, "midnight, don't forget."

ciel whimpers as mr. jensen pulls them apart. "i won't."

then they're storming off in the other direction, harry can see ciel's shoulders shaking from crying. his own shoulders slump and he slides down the wall of the cinema and shoves his head in his hands. he can still feel people watching.

eventually he goes home.

and harry's back to watching her through his window.
