He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow.

I can't sleep, I can't... what's the point in anything if I can't protect the people I love?

I take his hand in my own and leave a brief kiss on his knuckles, a gesture which makes him stop dead in his tracks. "Well I do, Harry. I forgive you." ___ Hearts will be broken, fun will be had on tour, and unlikely bonds will be made and tethered forever.
