38: six months

"maya im home!" harry had gone out to eat with friends while i stayed home and did some work. yes, i worked - gemmas new podcast was strangely motivating.

i ran down the stairs and into my boyfriends arms who held me tightly.
"how was your day?" i released slightly and gazed into his eyes.
"it was so lovely. you?" he took off his coat and hung it up.
"productive as hell. i baked a cake"
"no way!" he grinned as i led him to the kitchen. id iced it and written "i love you" on it.

"darling this is so sweet" he smiled shyly.
i blushed slightly and buried my head into his chest before he kissed my head and sat me on the counter.
"happy six months" he caressed my face gently with his warm hands and pressed out foreheads together.
"happy six months" i replied back before planting soft kiss on his lips. he smiled nervously before looking at the stove.
"you made us dinner!?"
"yeah...you should go get into some comfortable clothes" i suggested.
"you too...your wearing doc martens love"
true.
"they make me two inches taller though!"
"wh- i know but fucking hell!  you stomp around in them all the time"

i got into one of his hoodies along with some fluffy socks. harry was just in his boxers and a cosy sweater. we cuddled on the sofa and ate the noodles i'd made and had some cake while watching harry potter and the chamber of secrets. after it ended harry went to get something. i checked he was gone and went behind the sofa to get my hidden present.

i sat back down innocently as he came back and saw i was holding a gift bag.
"how did you do that!?" he was shocked.
i shrugged. "magic?"
he smiled and sat next to me and handed me a box. "happy anniversary princess" he kissed my forehead gently.
"happy anniversary my love" i handed him the gift bag. we both opened them nervously. harry had gotten us distance bracelets. so when im gone, you know im here he'd written on a note. there was also a small box and when i opened it, a promise ring sat there.

a fucking promise ring.

harry was smiling so much at the dumb matching necklaces i'd made us and the lace gloves. they costed a lot and i'd sold a lot of jewellery and commissions (student loan also was helpful) and i knew he had been eyeing them for weeks but kept brushing it off because he "didn't need them".

"baby these are amazing" he looked at me, his mouth wide with a smile.
"a ring harry?" i had literal tears in my eyes. he pulled me into his arms and held me tight.
"i love you so much my sexy girl"

WOAH OKAY.

"well okay!"
harry laughed at how awkward i'd gotten. "you literally asked me to fuck you a month ago when i was in LA! oh and i love you"
"i love you too you prick"
"hey!"
