Consequences

Pairing: Fred Weasley x Reader Summary: You help Fred and George escape from Flitch and soon become friends with one and fall for the other Warnings: swearing Word Count: 1,655

You were going through the corridor when you bumped into someone, specifically the Weasley twins. Their eyes widened as one of them grabbed your hand and made you follow them.

“Hey!!! What the hell do you want?” You whisper yelled, scared that Flich would catch out after-hours. Afterall trouble followed the two identical redheads.

“Shhhhh… Mrs. Norris is following us!”

“What?!? Why are you taking me with you then?” You asked incredulously. They turned and hid behind a small opening, taking you with then. You were already huffing. To think you wanted a cup of hot cocoa to soothe yourself.

“Meowww” the cat’s voice came from nearby.

“Shit.” Fred mumbled under his breath.

“Shushhh” you motioned towards the twins taking out the red laser light, you always kept to yourself. Positioning it through the opening, you pointed it at the ground near the cat.

Mrs. Norris’s eyes quirked as it kneeled down, facing the red dot with excitement. As soon as it jumped towards it you moved the light farther away. The cat jumped, slided, ran, getting more and more impatient to catch the mysterious red dot; not even noticing the quiet snorts of Fred and George.

“Okay, when I say now, quietly move to the 3rd corridor.” you whispered, moving your laser to the far opposite end. 

“Now!” you said, turning the laser off and exiting quickly. 

You all huffed as you reached the familiar staircase, sure that Mrs. Norris would not follow you here. 

“That was wicked!” one of the twins said watching the laser in your hand.

“What is that thing?” asked the other one.

“Oh, this? This is a red laser. Apparently cats go crazy for it.” You handed him the laser to see.

“Bloody brilliant!” they both said together, making you let out a laugh.

“Who knew, (Y/n) would be up to some mischief?” Fred said, raising an eyebrow.

“Well, just because you are not caught, doesn’t mean you lead a boring life.” you said winking at them and turning to leave for your dorm.

Unknownst to you, you had left Fred in awe. How did he not notice you before? Well, he did now.

***

You made your way to the history of magic class, yawning. How did you get sleepy, just thinking about it? You slid into your usual seat, taking out a notebook even though you knew, you weren’t gonna write anything that day. 

“Morning (Y/n)” you heard someone as they slid beside you. You turned to see none other than Fred Weasley. You raised your eyebrows to ask what he was doing there.

“You up for some mischief?” he asked.

“Nooo” you said, shaking your head. The twins meant trouble.

“Oh come on, you’ll be a valuable addition.”

“I rather not.” you said quietly as you saw the grumpy Professor Binns come in.

“Okay, then go on a date with me.”

“What?” you said whipping your head towards him, widening your eyes.

“Well, we could go to honeydukes, Zonko’s, Madam Rosemeta’s for butterbeers later?” Fred said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“And what makes you think I would say yes?” you said smirking.

“Well, I am funny and hot; so that ticks two of the desirable traits. Plus I can show you a good time.” Fred said, wiggling his eyebrows.

He was cute, you could see that. And you knew the things he said were true. But, you decided to toy with him a little. You glanced at the professor, seeing he had no idea that you two were talking.

“I don’t know, is that enough?” you asked cocking an eyebrow, keeping a poker face on.

Fred’s mouth dropped before he composed himself. He smirked.

“Okay, then you tell me, what would you like?”

You grinned. You acted as though you were thinking hard.

“Well, I definitely want someone I am comfortable with, you know, know a little bit before thinking about each other romantically.” you said air quoting ‘romantically’.

“Ahhhh” he said, “I could do that!”

“How are you sure of yourself? What if I don’t like the little bit?” 

“Who cannot like this?” he said gesturing to himself. “And besides I am a complete sweetheart.” Fred made love eyes almost making you melt. Almost.

“Well, we’ll see.” you said rolling your eyes.

***

After that Fred seemed to be everywhere. He would sit beside you in classes, study with you. You found out he was actually very intelligent and sharp. He just didn’t give academics much thought. You were never not smiling when you were near him and he constantly flirted with you. You did keep a poker face but sometimes he complimented you so genuinely that it became hard not to blush. It was only time before you started hanging out with George too. The three of you would be seen laughing your asses off at some corner of the common room, because it was ;in fact; fun to be with them.

You started noticing little differences between them. How Fred’s eyes were lighter in shade and sharper than George’s, whose eyes were rounder. How Fred was louder and more emotion-driven. Fred was making it very difficult not to fall in love with him. It was impossible to keep up the nonchalant exterior when in fact you wanted to kiss the hell out of him. He would put his arm around you casually at times, and you couldn't help but smile. You wanted it there. You liked it.

As for Fred, he was whipped. He was falling hard and fast for you. You were funny, witty and not to mention breathtakingly beautiful. You were driving him crazy. There were times you would flirt back and act as if nothing happened, while his heart thumped so hard, he thought it would burst. Over the top of everything, you cared for him. And it showed. You had panicked when he had broken his leg during a quidditch mishap. He had fainted and had a bad concussion. When he woke up in the middle of the night in the infirmary, you were there beside him. You had cried in his arms as he reassured you, he was okay. He knew it was wrong, but your sadness had filled his heart with warmth. He loved you. And no matter how much you denied it, he knew you loved him too.

***

You woke up with a grunt. Your nose was stuffed and you felt like you were burning. You went into the washroom cleaning yourself up. You sneezed on coming out. You shivered, feeling very cold suddenly. You piled yourself with clothes, moving towards the great hall for breakfast. You filled your cup with some hot tea, not feeling like eating anything else. 

“(Y/n), Are you okay?” Fred asked.

“Just a little fever.” you said not having the strength to smile. 

“Come here,” Fred said as he placed a hand on your forehead.

“You’re burning! Come-on you are not attending any classes today!” 

“Noo” you tried to protest, but Fred had already wrapped an arm around your waist, making you stand up and leaving for your room.

“We’re gonna need soup!” Fred called out and you heard a faint “on it” from George before the two of you had exited the hall.

Fred laid you on your bed and covered you up with blankets. There was a knock on the door and Fred got up and brought back soup with him.

You ate some and felt suddenly very full.

“I’m not hungry,” You said, handing the bowl back to him.

“You need it, even if you don't feel so.” he said, making you pout.

“Come on, I’ll feed you while telling you something about my childhood” 

Fred started feeding you as he launched into a story of irritating his mother. Even though you had a headache, Fred’s voice felt soothing. You felt calm just listening to him talk and before you knew it, the soup was gone. Fred gave you a pepper up potion and you drank it unwillingly. He made you go under the covers again and he caressed your hair until you fell asleep.

***

It was nearing Christmas and the school was decorated beautifully. Mistletoes, trees, bells everything looked like it was out of a fairy tale. Fred was chasing you for the last chocolate frog when you both froze. You looked up to see a mistletoe hanging over your heads. Fred noticed it too and you gulped. Fred took this as you being uncomfortable.

“I know a spell to undo this, just wait.” he said reassuringly as you felt a rush of affection for this man. Never mind the chasing he did for months, he wanted you to be comfortable first.

As you felt the spell weaken around you, you grabbed his shirt, pressing your lips firmly against his. He was surprised at first, but quickly responded back grabbing your waist pulling you closer. Your hands were in his locks, tugging at them gently, making him moan. As you pulled back breathless, you looked at Fred’s eyes sparkling brightly.

“Well, it’s tradition,” you said as you turned and started to walk away. Fred grabbed you, pulling you back to him.

“Nuh-uh, you wanted to kiss me and you did it. It has consequences”

“Really? And what would those be?” You asked, smirking.

“Well, for starters you need to admit that you want to be my girlfriend.” He said bumping his nose to yours.

You sighed. 

“Well I guess I would have to suffer the consequences, huh? Fine, I’ll be your girlfriend.”

“Noooo, say you want to be my girlfriend”

You pouted and Fred rolled his eyes. He turned to leave and you stopped him quickly.

“Fred, I really, really want to be your girlfriend. Allow me?” you said in a small voice.

Fred pulled in and kissed you again.

“I did a long time ago.” He whispered.

A/N: Guys I hate asking this, but I would love some feedback on this one as this is this is the first time I am writing about Fred. And some reblogs would be nice as most of my blog is about Sirius Black. Thank you!

Eyo what would you think about an au where Chase is a ghost? I really like the concept of ghosts and would love to know what you'd think!

oh awesome!!! ahhhh that sounds sad though!!!!

I guess if I had one it would be pretty sad anyway. my first thought would be that Chase doesn’t realize he’s dead. Maybe Anti killed him, which is why his death was traumatic and scary enough that his soul can’t rest properly, so he just gets up again. he sees his body lying there but he doesn’t really connect the dots, you know? he’s in shock. he looks down and there’s blood all over his stomach and his skin looks… weird?? and he’s really scared and upset and shaken and crying.

but….. oh…. oh! Anti is gone! He’s - he’s not here!

Chase has been his prisoner for weeks and he’s finally gone! He can finally go home to his family! He runs as soon as he gets the chance and he can tell that something weird is happening to him - he feels like he’s clipping or something?? he’s scared Anti is possessing him and making him glitch or something. but he’s too tired and scared to care. all he wants is to get home to his doctor and his protectors and they’ll make everything okay, right? everything will be okay if he just gets back to Marvin and Jackie and Henrik and Jamie.

but no one can see him.

he’s haunting the house, freaked out because suddenly he thinks he’s fucking incorporeal and no one can hear or see him. he keeps crying and Jameson, the lightest sleeper, keeps waking up in the middle of the night in a panic, sure he can hear sobbing through the walls. the others worry he’s having a nervous breakdown about missing Chase, but then Marvin starts to sense something…. weird around the house.

a strange energy. almost like his little brother’s, but…. not quite right. not quite there.

and then Jackie finds Chase’s body.

The whole house is struck by this grief like a hurricane. Chase watches in confusion as Marvin and Henrik get into a huge screaming match and then storm back to their own rooms and both break down completely, sobbing for their little brother to come home, but knowing now he never will. Jackie’s a shell, curled up in bed all day, just staring blankly at the wall or sleeping, never noticing no matter how many times Chase tries to run his hands through his hair and promise him everything will be okay. Jameson’s the only one with any semblance of control, though Chase hates to see him shaking with anger and pain every hour of every day, planning his funeral in silence, his mouth gritted tight and tears coursing down his cheeks.

it’s when Chase sees the funeral pamphlets and gravestone description that he realizes, and oh, oh fuck, he’s…. it’s impossible, how can he even believe it?

if he were himself, he would be able to come to terms with it eventually, but his soul is trapped, and the longer he stays in the wrong world, the worse his pain and confusion are. he REFUSES to believe that he’s dead. he’s desperate to make his brothers notice him. Jackie wakes up one night gasping because he could have sworn someone was touching his hair. Henrik’s paranoia is rocketing again cause he swears there’s some sort of shadow in his room! Marvin’s the one who has stuff like glass in his room, and Chase, in his distress, starts to smash things when he can garner the strength, taking pride in seeing Marvin yelp when his stuff crashes to the ground for no reason at all.

Jamie’s the one who keeps seeing his face.

Chase would get more and more desperate as he grew more and more powerful - the more his body decays, the less restricted by the physical world he is. eventually they would realize he was a ghost, and also that he was no longer himself, and a real threat to them.

In the end, they would have to convince him to go, to rest, to leave them. Tell him they love him one more time and kiss goodbye a ghostly white face, still speckled in blood, his eyes wide and scared - but, in the end, trusting, trusting, trusting.

“We’ll see you again,” promises Marvin, feeling him wisp away beneath his hands. He’s trying so hard not to break down and beg him to stay. Trying so hard to believe his own words. The others look on in desperate silence, shielding each other against the storm of Chase’s power that Marvin has only now calmed. “We’ll see you in another life. No more suffering, Chase. No more pain, amata. Rest, my brother. I’ll come see you again soon, and nothing will ever hurt us again.”

Chase disappears.

There are a lot of tears that night, but at least they know he’s at peace, and they come back together like they should have in the first place to take care of each other and survive this.

BNHA AU Ideas : Twin Star Runaways

Also on AO3! 

TL;DR:  On the run from houses they never called home, Bakugo and Izuku make some unlikely friends and make the worlds least conventional steps towards being heroes. 

They'll be amazing.

Bakugo and izuku were a little closer than in canon

when izuku's quirk didnt come in bakugo didnt jump straight to being mean and izuku didnt develop like, most of his issues because his best friend didnt abandon him

but everyone turned against the "quirkless weirdo" and when bakugo didnt leave him? they turned on him too

bakugo was a "villain in the making" or was crazy, scary, or "the weirdo's rabid dog" and he tries to play it off, like it doesnt bother him, but izuku gets angry, not that people are talking shit about him, but that they are coming after bakugo just for being a good person

not getting into canon, but in this au mitsuki is really abusive. inko is absent/neglectful because shes upset her husband divorced her and works nights as a nurse

so, the start of junior high, aged 11 and 12, izuku and katsuki run away because honestly anything is better than what they've been living though

as pretty cute kids they get pity food but they look so young no one will employ them

then they meet Touya, who for the sake of this AU is 17 at the time

so dabi runs into these 2 kids that look the same age as his little brother, one of which tried to blow him up within 20 secs of meeting him and the other was hiding behind a dumpster

and hes just like,,, "shit i cant believe i have 2 little brothers now"

that is cemented when he finds out izuku, hiding behind the dumpster? ya boy had a knife and was katsuki's backup

so dabi shows up where he knows these kids hide, he brings them food bc they are getting really thin, brings a new coat for katsuki bc he didnt have anything, teaches izuku how to use his knife better and sharpens it for him

he tells them about stain about corrupt heroes, and about his dad and katsuki and izuku latch onto this

katsuki's mum wished his quirk was "less violent" and that hed never be a hero because he was too scary and izuku's dad threw him away the second he realized his kid was Quirkless

and so izuku and katsuki decide they want to meet stain

dabi gives them some change and his email so they can contact him if they ever need to, and they set out for hosu (why is stain in hosu even tho it doesnt follow canon timelines? because i like hosu and i like tensei)

so in this au, stain skipped forward a bit, attacking hosu in some of his first rounds of hero purging

izuku and katsuki catch wind of a "cover up" by iidaten but izuku quickly realizes it was faked by another hero agency to try and get iidaten’s funding cut

and then they get a terrible feeling because thats the kinda thing that would cause stain to go after a hero so they end up running across hosu every night, taking turns to try and cover tensei as they look for stain

izuku and katsuki find stain over tensei, about to deliver the final blow and katsuki freezes because, stain is really scary and he has a bad vibe around him that almost made endeavour puke

but izuku throws himself inbetween tensei and stain

and stain is a little annoyed, but mostly impressed this scrawny kid is trying to stand up to him but then izuku tells him the scandal was faked and lays out every detail while hes pouring with tears because "ingenium is a good hero chizome"

and stain is like

wAIT WHY DOES A 10 YEAR OLD KNOW MY NAMe

(the answer? Dot connecting, the UA sports festival, and Steinhal. our boy is a smart cookie!)

at this point katsuki snaps out of his fear and tells stain he'll set off the loudest explosion he can manage if he doesnt step away from "one of the real heroes" and stain is honestly? pretty shook

so he does

and he just kinda, vanishes into the night

and izuku and katsuki swear because thats the guy they have been looking for for 2 weeks and they are out of food money and they just wanna get back to mutsutafu already so they start running after him

by the end they are freezing, 1AM and izuku is honestly worried about katsuki bc he gets cold easier because his quirk makes him sweaty even when he isnt hot and stain just takes pity on these kids and just kinda asks them is they have anywhere to go

izuku starts sobbing again because thats the kinda person he is, and katsuki tries to tell stain to go fuck himself but his teeth are chattering so hard he almost bites his tongue

stain just kinda sighs because god these kids remind him of Touya

and he laughs as izuku deadlifts a complaining katsuki and asks stain where hes gonna take them

also please: a subplot in this is tensei trying to work out who the kids that saved his life were

and he finds hospital records of katsuki and izuku for various brusies and broken bones

and sees that they havent been at school for 3 months, but also sees that no missing reports have been filed

and hes really upset because these kids are his little brothers age

anyway, after stain saves them from freezing they tell him ab how they cant be heroes but they wanted to be like him

and stain tells them they would make great heroes anyway and they cry

(at this point the AU changed from what was going to be a villain duo au into a vigilante au because its Soft AU Hours)

so, when they get back to mustutafu they meet up w dabi who says he has a present for izuku

(dabi said he join the leauge if afo gave izuku a quirk, and afo is interested to see how this goes so he said yes)

he would have joined the league anyway but he wanted to do his honorary little bro a solid if he could

afo was read to give izuku a kinda meh quirk honestly because the kid was going to want to be a hero and thats just bad business sense

then he finds out stain is fond of them and he pauses bc, thats pretty odd

then izuku walks in, is greeted by kurogiri and he bows to him bc hes a polite kid and afo is starting to like this child

izuku then tells shigiraki that he likes his shoes and shigiraki looks pleased with himself

so afo turns on the monitor and says hello and izuku pauses for a second and says

"sensei right? are you hurt? Why else would the video be off… oh sorry! I ramble when im nervous"

and afo just kinda,, "oh lord this child is sharp" so he chats with izuku a while and hears about how kids hurt him for being qurikless and afo kinda relates because people tried to murder him for having a quirk in the first place (i then ran through like 30 quirk ideas trying to work out the one I wanted to give him oops)

all for one gifts him the quirk guardian: can create hard light barriers. the more ambient light at the time of creation, the stronger the construct

he has the quirks perfect counter anyway, blackout: remove all light in a area, so hes not worried.

“where’d u get that quirk izuku”

“….enstranged uncle”

he works with katsuki to create barriers at the moment katsuki lets out explosions to maximise the strength

they start working as vigilanties

these lil baby 12 year olds and dabi is a big concered bro so he gets them some platform boots to make them look taller and masks to hide their voices

they wear big baggy hoodies bc they take them impacts and hide how thin they are

because they work at night they see aizawa a lot and aizawa is kinda confused because they have some pretty legit looking gear (big bro touya) so hes not sure if they are new heroes or not

izuku like, maybe stalked aizawa a little and found out hes a teacher at UA and izuku is so impressed and starstuck over this underground hero

katsuki is just grumbling because hes really impressed too but emotions are lame

izuku gets really hurt and katsuki knows this bitch is in trouble but he doesnt know what to do

katsuki asks eraserhead for help n aizawa is like "what going on??? are you a villain?" and katsuki rips off his mask, and is visible a super underweight 13 year old and aizawa just kinda feels his heart sink

and katsuki is trying not to cry and hes begging aizawa for help and aizawa is like "ahhhh fuuck I have 2 sons now"

vigilantes izuku and katsuki becoming wards of UA bc aizawa found them and has a deep seated hatred of the foster system

and the teachers just kinda accidentally adopt them

they take the ua entrance exam and manage to tie for first place, bakugo is all villain points and izuku got 50/50 rescue/villain points

and they have their letters playing at the same time as they hide in an alley way and the both start crying

because they really can be heroes

[awkwardplantwrites]

Happy Storyteller Saturday! What's something you like about your writing? What's something youd like to improve? What's something you think your readers would like about your work?

another late one... better late than never haha, thanks for your asks :)

1. I actually read a fanfic I wrote recently that’s 4 years old, so I saw it with fresh eyes. I’d say I like that I let the readers connect the dots without telling them outright, for example: 

“Aren’t you just the cutest thing?”Saitama said to the cat quietly. Fondness laced his words. “So soft and small and warm...” Genos glanced at his own large metal arms.” 

that’s a lot of truth for someone who’s not saying a single word.

I also like that I write lighthearted stuff. people have commented on my fics saying they were cheered up after being sick, they were “trying not to scream in math class”, or they were “writhing in happiness”. so if I seem like I’m trying too hard to be funny it’s because I’m drunk on the power of a Nice Comment.

2. my characters say one thing then act the opposite. like in chapter 1 Pepi was telling Renato to protect the town, then, according to a review I received, Pepi then looks down on the townspeople by calling them boring? which wasn’t my intention. characters can have mixed feelings about folk y’know?? but yeah I can see how it confuses people. 

would also like to improve my grammar and punctuation. I have a writing habit? where I use puntuation like this? bc I’m used to tumblr text posts??? or... I use ellipses... too much... also not fond of the fact that I structure sentences like: pronoun-verb-noun ALL THE TIME. can’t describe rooms or locations either even though I’ve read a lot about it ahhhh.

3. my novel is character driven. not trying to boast too much here, but I have some very endearing characters. it seems to be a recurring strength of all my stories, even when I was starting out as a 15 year old in 2014. 

I got an anonymous ask about Finding Magic last year where they said “Okay so omg your characters are so vivid and I would DIE for them?” take from that what you will 😎

and I mean, even though I’m writing a european medieval-fantasy, it’s genuinely different from other stories of the same genre. I subvert a lot of tropes simply because I’ve never read a medieval fantasy story in my life. I got a comment on wattpad saying “I can tell you’re having fun writing this” and if I’M having fun. well. y’all are in for a hell of a ride.

Doctor Harry - (Harry Wells x reader)

A/N: I finished one assignment and now you all get to revel in my accomplishment! Dedicated to the wonderful @darlingpetao3 and @letyourimaginationrun for helping me with said project. You guys are the best, honestly, thank you!

Anon Request: Imagine fainting at the sight of blood and Harry carrying you to med bay? That would be fab thanks ! x

*gif not mine, all credit to the creator*

“Keep going, Barry! You’ve nearly got him!”

You sat at the main desk in the Cortex, watching on the map as Barry’s little dot rushed around the street, fighting the meta-human you’d all been chasing for a week.

“I’m going to try the lightning throw!” Barry shouted through the coms as the sound of the wind began to roar behind him.

“Yes, that should knock him off balance enough for you to get him,” Harry affirmed from beside you as you typed into the computer. You glanced sideways at him, smiling slightly. It wasn’t often you got to work side by side with Harry and you were very much enjoying it.

Barry began to run in a circle as he powered up for the lightning throw but before he could reach the desired velocity, the meta-human obviously threw something at him, completely wiping him out as you watched his dot fly off course.

“Barry!” you yelled into the coms as you heard the crash of him slamming onto the street. “Barry, are you okay?”

“Ahhhh! I’m hit! I’m definitely hit!”

“Come back, Allen,” Harry said, taking over from you, “you won’t be able to beat him without all your strength.”

“Ah, okay, okay, I’m coming!” Barry replied as you heard him start running again, though the computer told you he was nowhere near his normal speed.

“Caitlin, we got incoming,” you called over to your friend, who nodded, beginning to set up the spare bed in the centre of the Cortex so she could start immediately when Barry returned.

The lightning trail suddenly appeared in front of you, announcing Barry’s arrival as he collapsed against the side of the bed. You and Harry both quickly stood, rushing around the desk so that you could lend a hand if needed.

You immediately saw what the problem was. Whatever the meta had thrown had caught Barry in several places, ripping his suit and leaving multiple gashes on his arms, legs and a particularly nasty looking one in his side.

“Oh, Barry, that… ouch, man,” Cisco said, pulling a face as Caitlin got him onto the bed and began to assess the damage.

But the more you looked at the wounds, you more uneasy and dizzy you felt. You were generally okay with small amounts blood, but the amount that was currently flowing from Barry’s injuries was a little too much for you.

“Oh god… that’s a lot of…”

You didn’t quite finish your sentence as you felt yourself sway on your feet as the lightheaded feeling overtook you. You lost your balance and began to fall as you lost consciousness, hearing several muffled cries of your name before everything faded to black.

You didn’t know how long you were out for, but when you came to, you felt the cold floor beneath your body, but your head felt surprisingly cushioned considering that you must have still been in the middle of the Cortex.

You shifted slightly and started to make out voices coming from above you.

“Is she okay?”

“Shall I poke her?”

“Shut up, Ramon. Back up and give her some air.”

As your eyes fluttered open and you started to think a little more clearly again, you met the concerned blue gaze of Harry looking down at you, on, you deduced, whose lap your head was currently resting.

“Hey, are you okay?” he asked gently as you tried to sit up, beginning to blush slightly out of embarrassment. You’d never fainted in front of any of them before and you hadn’t exactly been keen to. Especially not in front of Harry…

“Yeah, I’m…”

But even sitting up seemed to be an issue as you felt yourself wobble again before you were even halfway upright. Your hand went to your forehead and you closed your eyes and waited for the feeling to pass.

“Easy there, you were out for a good minute,” Harry said quietly, placing his hand on your shoulder. “Come on, you need to lie down.”

And before you could say another word, either in affirmation or protest, he had moved to kneel next to you, slipping one arm under your legs and the other around your back.

“Hold on,” he said and you did as you were told, looping your arms loosely around his neck.

The next thing you knew, you were cradled in Harry’s strong arms, leaving the Cortex floor behind.

You felt the blush on your cheeks grow as he carried you towards the med-bay, the smell that was uniquely Harry invading your senses from where you were pressed against his muscular chest. As if you needed anything else to make you feel more lightheaded…

He moved across the room in a few of his long strides, entering the med-bay and placing you down on the bed with the care that one might show a glass ornament. Like you were incredibly precious to him.

“There,” he said tenderly, lingering in front of you with neither of you letting go.

“My hero,” you whispered back, giggling softly.

His face was incredibly close to yours, his perfect lips within your reach if you’d lean just a fraction further forward. Your face turned an even a darker shade of red at the thought.

You cleared your throat after a few seconds, dipping your head as you both realised how close you were, quickly removing your arms from one another.

“I mean it, thank you, Harry,” you replied quietly, not looking away from him.

He nodded slightly before turning and finding you a glass, pouring you some water. Your fingers brushed slightly when he passed it to you and you couldn’t help but smile into your lap.

“Err… make sure you drink all of that…” he said, after clearing his throat too, rubbing the back of his neck with one hand. “I’ll just be, err… out there.”

“Don’t worry, I will, Doctor,” you teased with a little smirk as you shuffled around and got comfortable on the bed.

Harry chuckled quietly at that, holding your gaze for a moment before awkwardly turning and leaving the room. You watched him go, nibbling on your lip and wondering when you might finally get the courage to act on your feelings for Harry. You knew that there was something between you, but you didn’t know exactly what it was just yet.

However, you didn’t get to think about it too much as a voice brought you back to the present.

“…Hello? Earth to (Y/N).”

You shook your head, looking up at Caitlin who was now stood next to your bed having evidently sorted Barry’s wounds. She had a little knowing smile on her face as you stared at her, blushing yet again from being caught blatantly ogling Harry.

“Hmm? What?” you asked, taking a sip of the water to try and give yourself time to recover.

“I said, I’m going to check you over.” She laughed, examining you by taking your pulse and looking at your eyes’ responsivity. “Well, you look fine… pupils are a little dilated but I think that that might have something to do with a certain someone rather than the fainting…”

“What? No! What, Harry? No, not at all…” you stumbled over your words as Caitlin continued to grin at you.

“I hate to say it, but you aren’t that subtle… But your secret’s safe with me,” she said, squeezing your shoulder. “Just stay lying down until the dizziness passes and I’ll, um, keep Harry around in case you need him again. Looks like I’m out of a job when it comes to you now…”

You couldn’t help but shyly mirror her smile as your gaze drifted back to Harry who now stood at the main desk in the next room. You were surprised to see him looking back at you with a soft look on his face before he went back to work when you caught his eye.

Your own personal doctor…

You could probably get used to that.
