....

"Please be seated", Harry heard a voice.

In front of him, there was a large table with varieties of dishes and drinks. He couldn't recognise most of them but they all looked heavenly.

He moved towards the table and someone pulled out a chair for him, he could see only a silhouette as the room was pretty dark, a ray of moonlight lit the room.

He sat on the table and turned back to see the silhouette, but found nothing.

"Please make yourself comfortable and eat whatever you want, these are all for you Belle"

"Who are you? I want to see your face!" Harry said with both fear and curiosity.

Harry heard footsteps behind himself.

He turned to see a large Beast with shimmering blue eyes.

He was terrified but didn't feel like escaping.

He was drawn by the beautiful eyes.

He moved closer and closer to the Beast.

Suddenly, all the terror inside seemed to vanish and he moved his hand toward the Beast's face.

Harry couldn't believe his eyes, as soon as he touched the Beast, he transformed into a charming prince with a pair of soft lips, beautiful eyelashes and defined cheekbones. He was looking absolutely perfect in his attire.

Harry examined the prince's features and his eyes lingered on his soft little lips.

He wanted to kiss.

He cupped the prince's cheeks and moved closer to his mouth.

"Harry!", a distant voice called him.

Harry moved even closer.

Someone poked his cheek. Harry looked to his side but he couldn't find anyone.

"Harry!", the voice grew louder. His cheek was poked twice this time.

"Harry wake up!", the voice said right into his ear.

"Harry!", he said in a louder voice.

Harry opened his eyes to see the collarbone of William. It was him who poked his cheeks. He was still held close to his chest.

He looked up from his position to see William's soft lips and sleepy eyes. Was he blushing? Or was that fond face? His lips looked so tender and delicate that Harry wanted to kiss them.

William smiled at him,"Why are you looking at me like that, Rose?"

Harry almost said "Kiss me" but his voice stayed in his throat. Wait, did he just call him 'Rose'? Again?

"I have some work today, I need to go", he said, about to move from the floor.

Harry held him tight, pressed himself closer to him.

"No, please stay for sometime, you're so cozy", he said, pressing his nose to William's chest.

"Harr-"

"Don't tell me not to get attached, don't tell me that we're not gonna meet after this, don't tell me that I need to go to my house soon", Harry said without looking at William.
