Serenity.

Harry and I were now back at my place.

We'd sat on the floor in my temporary office for a bit, remaining in silence. His hand held mine, caressing it gently, which reminded me of the time we both were stuck in the elevator together — it felt like ages ago.

He seemed a tiny bit thankful when I suggested we should get going, and he claimed that once he got up, his bum was numb. I laughed at his unexpected rhyme making him frown, even though he let out a small chuckle.

I could tell that he wasn't sure whether or not we were going separate ways or if we were going to stay together — and it when I mentioned that I would drive, I saw the faintest of smiles on his face. He didn't want to go home. It turned out that Archie drove him here, and he'd texted him saying that he could leave for the evening. That only meant one thing: he hoped something would finally happen between us — and definitely did — we kissed.

On the ride home, he popped an allergy pill in his mouth for "Luna's sake" — but it was mainly for his. Harry had taken a liking to Luna after their first, and only, interaction; it's probably why he voluntarily took the tablet without asking if my cat could stay with Amara. Of course, I could've made that arrangement, but he didn't say a word.

When we arrived at my apartment, I made sure to strip my bed down to its bare mattress and replaced it with everything fur-free. I was also in a desperate need of a shower, so I excused myself to do so. I also handed Harry some shorts and a shirt so he could change into — they were brand new.

I was a fool to think that after the first night we spent together in the same bed, he would want to come back here again. Delusional, I remained for quite some time, but the day finally came for them to be worn.

Let's just say I did a little happy dance in the shower as I washed my body with a grin on my face.

I'd also laid out a set of sheets on the coffee table just in case he preferred to sleep on the couch — but I secretly hoped that I would be able to have him next to me again.

There was no doubt that I was over the moon filled with joy, when he made his way into my room, already hoping that I would say yes — and of course, I did.

Once I finished, I went back to the living room to find Harry sitting on the couch. Luna was eyeing him from a distance away, I swore that it could've been a staring contest. My money was on my orange tabby. It wasn't the first time that I lost to her, hearing a meow in victory.

When he became aware of my presence, he looked up at me with a shy smile and awestruck eyes. We weren't vocal, but the adoration was clear in his emerald gems and my sapphires.

Harry claimed that he wasn't hungry when I asked him, but then he faintly rubbed his stomach proving otherwise — he was embarrassed to say he was starving. So without a word, I made some turkey wraps for us.

After we ate our small meal, we both got ready for bed, and squeezed into my tiny bathroom together. I gave Harry a new toothbrush to use — one that he placed right next to mine when he finished. There was a light blush on his cheeks when I noticed it, but I didn't comment on it.

It wasn't the only time I noticed heat rise to Harry's face, because it also appeared when we both removed our contacts. When he placed his glasses to rest upon his nose, he made brief eye contact with me before he looked away.
