20: euphoria

the next day, i hadn't eaten breakfast or gone to uni.

harry went out in the morning and got us some breakfast whilst i stayed in my room watching friends. he offered to sit with me and we made friendship bracelets as my new friend at work was seeing taylor swift next year so i offered to make help her make bracelets.

"harry"
"yes baby?" he looked up from what he was doing.
"for you" i said as i handed him a bracelet with his name on it.
harry smiled so widely. his shyness kicked in as he covered his mouth with his right hand which had bright pink nails - i'd painted them last night.
"i love them it. this is so sweet, thank you" he kissed my cheek and pulled me into his arms. he then put the bracelet on his wrist and said he was gonna get something to eat from downstairs.

i felt a bit better and downed a glass of orange juice. when harry came back, he scooped me into his arms, sat on the bed and pulled me onto his lap. i just felt so safe around him - my love for him felt like a euphoria.
"ooh that one looks pretty" he said, pointing to the folklore bracelet.
i tried hiding a sniffle but harry caught on

"are you okay love?" he mumbled into my hair. i got off his lap and faced him.
"this is dumb but i love you so much" i started crying my eyes out like the dumb dumb i am.
"i love you too" he giggled before he pulled me into his arms and comforted me.
"youre so good to me. youre everything ive ever wanted" i sniffled.
"please, you're everything i've ever wanted - stop having low standards, i'm meant to be good to you. don't praise me for doing the bare minimum" he wiped my tears gently as he spoke.

"can we go for a walk in a bit?" i asked. a smile flashed onto his face.
"i'd love that" he kissed my head gently. "odd question but do you wanna help design the next album art?"
"what!? harry...a-are you serious!?"
"you're so talented. it'd be an honour for you to do it. of course, my team will pay you for it but i just love what you do. what do you say?"
"a million times yes!" i kissed his lips gently before squishing his cheeks with both my hands which caused huge smiles to form on both our faces. "you've just made my day. i love you...my handsome prince"
"i love you more" he replied, nudging our noses together.
