The first faculty meeting of the semester. You officially had been at the university for a year, and it felt incredible. You think back to the morning you got ready last year, waking up in your cozy blanket burrito. This time around you woke up with your new favorite kind of burrito: Harry. You didn’t think you’d like having one of his arms under your neck with the other one wrapped around you, or having his heavy leg over your hip, but it was wonderful. Harry had sent Andy over to Paige’s for his Wednesday with her so Harry spent the night at your place.
Andy had apologized to his mother, who was more than forgiving. He didn’t fully explain himself, but Harry told her just to go with it, and she listened. Andy made her a congratulations card, and it’s been up on the fridge ever since.
You had dinner with them a couple of times, and you were amazed at how talkative Andy was with you. He asked you a ton of questions about anything and everything, and you answered things to the best of your ability. You hadn’t spent the night at Harry’s though. You had never spent the night there. You might have, but since Andy came back early both you and Harry agreed sleepovers would be better at your place for now. Once Andy gets back into the regular rhythm of going to Paige’s every other weekend, then you said you’d consider spending the night at Harry’s.
Your alarm goes off, and you turn it off. Harry peppers kisses to the back of your neck and it makes you giggle.
“Why are we getting up so early? Meeting’s not until two.” He yawns and then kisses your cheek, pulling you closer.
“Shower, breakfast, then office decorating.”
“What’s for breakfast?”
“Pesto toast and fried eggs.” Harry groans happily into you and you giggle.
“That sounds so fucking good.”
“And I bought the bread you really like to make it with too.”
He shifts, and forces you onto your back. He kisses on your neck, down your chest, your stomach, and then dangerously lower.
“Harry, wait!” You yank his head up by his hair and he pouts at you. “Can we shower first? That’s a little…gross first thing in the morning, isn’t it?”
“I don’t particularly think so, but we can shower first if you’re more comfortable with that.”
“I would.” You blush slightly.
“Okay.” He kisses your cheek and gets off of you.
If there was one thing you could look at forever, it would be Harry’s bare ass. It was just so…plump! Who knew doing yoga could help with the booty?
“Are you coming, or are you gonna keep staring?” He smirks.
“Oh, shut up.” You say, frazzled, and get out of bed to join him in your bathroom.
You turn the water on and you both brush your teeth before you get in. You sigh as the warm water hits your skin. You and Harry still fumbled around while taking showers together, not really having learned the full morning routine of one another yet, but it was okay. It caused for some laughs.
“Har?” You say as you lather up your body.
“Yeah?”
“What, um, what are we telling people at work?”
“About what?” He says as he steps aside to let you stand in the water.
“About us.”
“Oh! Well…what do you wanna tell people? We should probably let Lisa know…I’m sure everyone will figure it out the second we walk in together.” He watches as the soap falls down your body.
“So, like, are we just saying we’re together, we’re seeing each other?”
“That’s what we’re doing, so yeah, makes sense to say that.” He shrugs and wraps his arms around your waist. “Can I have now?” He pouts.
You giggle at him and nod. His lips press to yours as your arms wrap around his neck. You don’t stay like that for long though because Harry is kissing down your body until he reaches his knees. He gets one of your legs over his shoulder and you nearly lose your balance.
“Couldn’t we do this on dry land?!” You squeal as you clutch at the walls.
“You’re making things very difficult for me this morning.” He says as he looks up at you. “Would you relax?”
You couldn’t relax. Your period was just around the corner and you were worried about it springing up on you while he was down there.
“Sorry.” You mutter and take a deep breath. “Go ahead.”
Your back arches when you feel his tongue on you. you bite your bottom lip as you feel him lap away at you, and suck on your clit. He sucks harshly, and it has you tugging hard at his hair. He stands up and your mouth falls open to protest, but you’re shut up when you feel two fingers slip inside you.
“Sorry, my knees were starting to hurt.” He grunts as he kisses on your neck.
“S’okay.” You gasp when he curls his fingers up. You reach between the two of you to rub and tug at his hard dick.
His lips find your again, and he sucks your bottom between his teeth. You moan out for him and squeeze around his fingers. His thumb rubs at your puffy clit and you pump him faster.
“Fuck.” He groans. “M’not gonna last much longer.” His other hand come up to knead one of your breasts, and he pumps his fingers in and out of you faster.
“H-Harry!” You cry out as you release around him. You’re in such a daze you barely register his come splashing on your stomach and hand. He kisses your temple and grabs the shower head to clean you off. “Thanks.” You breathe.
He smiles at you as he wipes his mess away and puts the shower head back. You turn the water off, and get a towel wrapped around yourself. Harry follows you out to the bedroom, and goes through his overnight bag to find his boxers. He slips them on as you look through your own dresser.
“Do you know how hot it’s going to be today?” You ask him.
“Let me check my phone.” He says and looks through his weather app. “Um, mid-eighties, babe.”
“Humid?”
“A wee bit.”
“Alright.” You sigh.
You brush out your hair and run your blow dryer through it before putting it up in a messy bun. Harry was just getting his jeans and t-shirt on when you come out. It was a loose pair of jeans with rips at the knees.
“I think you wore those when we first met.” You chuckle.
“I wear them every year, sort of like a good luck for the semester. It’s weird, but it helps me.”
“Not weird at all, we all have our own traditions.” You shrug. “God, I have no idea what I wanna wear.” You groan. “I hate being all sweaty, you know?”
“Why not one of your pretty sundresses?”
“No, I’ll just be uncomfortable in a dress. I wish I could just wear workout clothes, but I think that would be a bit too dressed down.”
You settle on a pair of shorts and a top to tuck into them. You both go into the kitchen, and Harry sits down at your island while you start getting breakfast ready. He was better at cooking dinner, and you were better at breakfast, so you both just took turns making meals for the other. Once it’s all done, his mouth is watering. He takes a big bite and moans.
“Mm, best pesto toast I’ve ever had.”
“Thanks.” You reach forward to snag the bit of yolk that that’s dribbling down his chin. “It’s a bit messy, sorry.” He grabs your thumb before you can wipe it on your napkin, and sucks it into his mouth, letting it go with a pop.
“No worries, I’ve told you, I like it messy.” He winks at you.
“You’re too much.” Your face had to be red. A guy had never made you feel so flustered before.
“So, what exactly does office decorating entail? Aren’t you keeping the same furniture?”
“Oh, sure, but I wanna dust and wipe things down. I have some new things I wanna hang up. Might be night to air it out too. Don’t you wanna get your office in order?”
“I guess that would be the smart thing to do. I’m just feeling lazy today.”
“It’ll be the perfect thing to perk you up before our meeting. Are we getting new faculty?”
“Not this year, just the usual random TL’s that teach the online classes. Why? Hoping to meet someone new?”
“Stop.” You nudge him. “Couldn’t replace you even if I wanted to. I’m really excited to see everyone. I’ve missed Janette.”
“That’s why I’m glad we all usually go to the pub after the meeting so we can all really catch up.”
“And the game nights will start back up.”
“They’ll probably separate us now that we’re together. Not fair to have a couple who wins all the time on the same team.”
“Please, they should keep us together, I’d hate to see what you look like when you lose.”
“Aw.” He says as he gets up to clean the plates. “That’s so cute you think I’d lose a game to you.” He turns to you. “Lose to anyone, really.”
“I can’t wait to see how you are at Andy’s basketball games this season, you must be a backseat coach.”
“I’m actually not too bad, thank you very much. I would never try to embarrass my kid.” He puts his hands on your hips as you stand up. “Are you saying you wanna come to a few games this winter?”
“That’s what I’m saying.” You smile. “I think it would be good for him to know I’m there supporting him, don’t you?”
“Yeah.” He kisses you. “That means a lot to me that you care.”
“Of course I care.” You kiss again before he lets you go. “Come on, let’s go.”

Harry doesn’t do as deep of a clean to his office as you do to yours. You had barely been there this summer, opting to go to the library like he had suggested because of the A/C. You open up your window and you hear him curse from his office.
“What is it?”
“My cactus died…” He sighs and shows you the pot. “I don’t know how, I came in to water all of these. Fuck, now I’m gonna have to go get a new one.”
“So…you love plants, but you hate shopping for them?”
“No, I just prefer to go to Lowe’s and the drive is annoying.”
“It’s…twenty minutes south on the highway.”
“Yeah, twenty fucking minutes to get some decent plants, and then it’ll take me god knows how long to find ones I like, then I need to find pots for Andy to paint. He likes painting for me so it adds more decoration.”
“Just when I thought he couldn’t get cuter.” You pout. “Maybe we could have a painting party. We could all decorate some pots, I could do some for my own office.”
“You’d be into something like that?”
“Yeah! I like getting crafty, obviously.”
“I bet he’d paint you something nice for your office. He’ll love it. I have to take him back to school shopping this weekend anyways, so I can go to Lowe’s then.”
“Sounds good to me.” You smile, and just as you lean in to kiss him…
“Oh my god!” Janette squeals, and you both turn towards her. “Look at this! You’re a full on couple, how cute.” She pouts and pinches Harry’s cheek before giving him and you a hug. “I’ve missed you both so much.”  
“Same here.” You say. “How were your travels with Sadie?”
‘Incredible! She gets to go to the coolest places. I always feel well rounded after traveling with her. H, I watched you lecture too since it was recorded, amazing job.”
“Oh, thanks.” He blushes.
“So, this is a thing now?” She grins. “Should have placed bets within the department. I saw this from a mile away, although, I thought it would have happened sooner.” She shrugs. “Oh well.”
“Do we have to make some type of formal announcement?” You ask.
“Please.” She scoffs. “The second you two walk into that meeting everyone will know. It’s written all of your faces.”
“Okay, okay.” Harry says. “Shall we head up then?” He shuffles the both of them out of his office.
You and Janette walk ahead of him, giggling about something. Harry was happy you made such good friends with her, he knew you were lonely when you first moved here. Janette was also someone you could hang out with while he was with Andy.
Lisa was already in the conference room with Mateo when you three walk in. Andre and Sandra come in next. You all find seats and wait for Lisa to get started. She smiles at everyone and squints at you and Harry.
“Well, well, well, how long has this been going on for?”
“Ha! I told you!” Janette laughs, and so does everyone else.
“Did everyone know we liked each other before we did? Is that it?” You also laugh.
“Are you kidding?!” Andre says. “Harry is the least subtle person when he has a crush! I swear I started keeping a tally of every time he popped into your office while I was in mine. Was pretty cute actually.”
“Alright, thank you everyone.” Harry says, chuckling. “It’s still new, it’s only been a month and a half or so.”
“Well, congrats to you both.” Lisa says warmly. “What a great way to start our meeting off. Now, let’s get to the fun stuff like budgets and course design.” She jokes.
After the meeting, just like last year, everyone walks down to the pub for dinner and drinks. Harry sits next to you, and even puts his arm around your shoulders, it’s loose, but it’s there. You get your chicken-less nachos, and a couple of drinks. It’s a lot of fun to reconnect with your colleagues. It’s also a reminder that you really need to get some work done on your doctoral thesis this semester. You had been doing so much research and reading that you felt like you could start writing your actual paper. Well, you felt like you could really start putting a solid outline together.
You and Harry walk back to your car, since you drove together in it this morning.
“That was fun, it was so good to see everyone. School really starts next week, I can’t believe it!” You say.
“I know, it’s wild.”
“I volunteered to help out with the movie on the green during welcome week. Seemed like the easiest thing to get involved in.”
“I signed up for that too. They’re showing Wonder Woman and I wanted to bring Andy since we didn’t get a chance to see it in theaters when it came out. Maybe we could all go together…”
“I’d like that.” You smile. “Am I just dropping you off at yours?”
“Yeah, Paige’ll be bringing him home in an hour or so.”
“Alrighty.” You turn left so you can get on the route to Harry’s house. You pull into his driveway. “So, painting this weekend?��
“Most likely, yeah. I’ll text you.”
“Sounds good.” You both lean over the console to kiss goodbye. You smile into it, just loving his lips on yours.
“What are you so happy about, hm?” He says, also with a big smile on his face.
“Just like you a lot.”
“Like you a lot too.” He gives you one more peck on the lips before getting out and waving goodbye.
That was something the two of had gotten into the habit of saying: I like you a lot. It was less serious than saying I love you, but it also gave that reassurance that the both of you were still happy in the budding relationship.

“Dad! I’m home!” Andy says as he comes into the house, bringing his things to his room. Harry was just getting some comfy clothes on.
“Hey, how was Mum’s?” He asks as he leans against the door frame.
“Good.” He shrugs. “She said I was too old to be the ring bearer.” He scoffs.
“You are.” Harry chuckles. “Did she say you could do something else?”
“Well, Noah said I could be in his wedding party, but I told Mum I’d rather be in hers, and they said that was fine. Rachel got all excited because she’s going to walk Noah up to the alter. I don’t really know why this being talked about now. They’re not getting married for another year.”
“Weddings take a lot of planning.”
“But why? It’s all a big hullaballoo for no reason.”
“Hullaballoo?” Harry laughs.
“Yeah! Like, they’re just having a small thing in the backyard, what’s the big deal?”
“You know how Mum’s family is, they like things a certain way. I think it’ll be nice, and you’ll look great in her wedding party, get you fitted for a nice suit.”
“Are you gonna be there.” He says, sitting on his bed.
“I don’t know if I’m in invited yet.”
“Why wouldn’t you be?”
“I don’t know.” He shrugs. “Kind of weird to invite your ex to your wedding, but if Mum wants me there I’ll go.”
“You could bring Y/N.” Andy grins.
“Speaking of her, you and I are gonna go back to school shopping this weekend, and while we’re out we’re gonna pick up some paint and pots, thought she could join us for that.”
“Yeah! That sounds like fun, Dad.”
“Good.” Harry smiles. “Did you want to invite Brandon over too? He had fun with us last year.”
“Sure, I can text him…on my dinosaur phone.” He mumbles.
“Andy.” Harry sighs. “Two more years, I just need you to wait two more years, and then you can have a smart phone, okay? You’re lucky you have a phone at all.”
“Fine.” He rolls his eyes. “Does everyone at school know you’re dating now?”
“Pretty much.”
“When are you going to ask her to be your girlfriend?”
“I don’t know.” He runs a hand through his hair.
“Why not?”
“I just don’t, it’s complicated. Things are good right now, I don’t wanna rock the boat.”
“But…in like every movie we watch it’s always so clear that the girl just wants things to be official, so why not just do that? I bet it would make her happy.”
“This isn’t a movie. Dating someone for a month and a half, I feel, is too soon to really put a label on. It’s a very serious thing to call someone your girlfriend or boyfriend.”
“Ugh.” Andy flops back onto his bed.
“What?” Harry steps into his room more.
“Molly is Brandon’s girlfriend, does that mean things are super serious?”
“Andy…at your age…it really doesn’t mean much, I promise. I thought they just kissed, now they’re boyfriend and girlfriend?” He sits down on his desk chair and Andy rolls onto his side to look at Harry.
“Yeah, he told me the other day.” He sighs. “I don’t really get the appeal, Molly’s nice and pretty, but…” He chews his inner cheek. “I…I think I still think kissing is gross, is that weird?”
“It’s not weird at all. You all are going through different phases right now. You might think kissing isn’t weird this time next year, or even a couple of months from now. You’re only going into sixth grade, it’s okay to not be into girls or…whatever yet.”
“What’s so great about kissing, anyways?”
“Do you want the super high level answer?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, scientifically speaking, when you kiss someone on the lips, especially someone you really like, there’s a chemical reaction in your brain that releases the hormone oxytocin. Sometimes it’s called the love hormone.” Andy blinks at him. “Basically, it just makes you feel really good, and it makes you feel all lovey and attached to the person that makes you feel that way.”
“Do you feel that way with Y/N?”
“Um…well…yeah, I like kissing her.”
“I guess I just won’t understand until it happens to me.”
“Promise me something?” Andy nods at him. “Don’t just kiss someone to get it over with to see what it feels like because then it won’t mean anything. Your first kiss is something you’ll never get back, you know? So…don’t give it away to just anyone, alright?”
“Alright.”
Harry smiles and comes over to give Andy a kiss on the forehead.
“Go wash up and get into bed, it’s getting late.”
//
Harry absolutely detested back to school shopping. Every year he and Paige would take Andy to Staples and let him run wild. Buying new binders and notebooks really got him excited. The thing Harry couldn’t stand was the inevitable argument that Andy would have with Paige, and it was happening now.
“Mum, I’ll look like an idiot! I need a separate notebook for each class.”
“But this is like five notebooks in one! What’s the big deal?!”
“We all decorate each cover differently! No one gets these anymore, ugh, you just don’t get it!” Andy huffs.
“Just let him get the notebooks, Paige, it’s not worth it.”
“I guess I really don’t get it.” She sighs. “Go on, pick out what you want. We’re looking at planners next.”
Andy nods and goes down the aisle with the planners. He furrows his brows as he looks over his options.
“Jesus, these are so expensive.” Paige says.
“I know, it’s a rip-off.” Harry agrees. “You’re just writing your assignments down, it doesn’t need to be fancy, Andy.”
“I can’t decide.” His eyes widen when he sees a planner with blue flowers on it, and he reaches to grab it, but he stops himself and sighs.
“What’s wrong?” Paige asks.
“I’ll get made fun of I pick that one.”
“What? Why?” Harry asks.
“Because…flowers are girly.” Andy says quietly.
“No they’re not, I love flowers! We have like three different gardens in the back. You should get the one you want.” Harry says.
“And if anyone makes fun of you, just…well…fuck ‘em.” Paige whispers and it makes harry and Andy laugh.
Paige and Harry get Andy settled, and she leaves them so they can head to Lowe’s to pick everything out for the plants. Once they’re home, Harry gets everything set up in the garage. He lays some newspapers down so the paint won’t make a mess. Brandon’s mom drops him off, and he runs up the driveway, giving Andy a hug when he gets there.
“Thanks for the invite, my mom loved what I made her last year.”
“Yeah…of course.” Andy says, blushing slightly.
“Right, so, everything’s here that you need. Y/N should be here…oh! There’s her car now.” Harry smiles.
You get out of your car in a cute pair of overall shorts and a t-shirt. You grab some of your own pots out of your back seat and walk up.
“Hi boys.” You smile and kiss Harry’s cheek. “I had some extra potters, so I brought some of my own to decorate.”
“Sounds good, got all the paint we could need here.” Harry says, sitting down and gesturing for you to do the same.
“How was back to school shopping, Andy?”
“Good.” He shrugs.
“What kind of planner did you get?” Brandon asks. “Mine’s got these, like, cars on them, it looks so cool.”
“Oh…it’s got this…um…garden or whatever on it. I just grabbed a random one.” He mutters.
“I used to love getting all of that stuff, I still do.” You say. “Nothing like some new notebooks to get you excited for school.”
“I like the pens, my mom let pick out this pack that had all these different colors, highlighters too.” Brandon says.
It was fun painting the pots with everyone, seeing the different designs. Andy was really talented, you were surprised since he was so young. The detail he was able to get on such a small space was incredible. It was starting to get around dinner time.
“Dad, can Brandon stay for dinner?”
“Sure, but he has to call his parents first to ask.”
“Okay!” Brandon says, taking out his smart phone. He gets up to call his parents.
“Would you like to stay for dinner?” Harry asks you.
“I’d love to.” You smile.
“They said it’s okay, I just have to be home by eight.” Brandon smiles. “My said he’d come get me so you don’t have to drive Mr. Styles.”
“Alright, that sounds good. You boys work on cleaning this up, and I’ll get the grill started. Make sure you wash your hands before coming out to the deck.”
You help the boys make sure their paint doesn’t get smudged as they put the pots up on the shelves to dry. You wash your hands as well before going out to the deck.
“Where are they?”
“Oh, um, Andy asked if they could play video games until dinner…and I said it was okay…”
“Oh, alright.” He says with a shrug.
“Is that okay? I should have asked you first.”
“He’s been out all day, I say he’s earned some screen time. It’s perfectly fine.” Harry smiles. “I’m making those impossible burgers, they both really like them. Want cheese on yours?”
“Yes, please. Do need help with anything?”
“Nope.” He kisses your cheek. “Just sit, babe.”
Once the food is done, and on the table outside, Harry calls for the boys, and the come right out. The burger tastes amazing, not that you’re surprised. You started to really enjoy watching Harry interact with the boys. He could really carry on a conversation with them, and relate to them. The boys themselves were really interesting. Brandon was animated as he spoke, and Andy was a bit more reserved but he was hilarious. Andy loved having you over for dinner too. You came once in a while, and he liked seeing you interact with his dad. You made Harry happy in a way that he didn’t, and he sort of understood it.
“Can we play more video games until Brandon’s dad comes, please?”
“Sure, we’re gonna stay out here for a bit I think.”
“Thanks, Mr. Styles!” The boys both race inside to go back to their game.
“At least they ask first, right?” Harry chuckles.
“Exactly.” You smile and rub your arms.
“Are you getting cold? I can get you a sweatshirt.”
“That’d be great, thank you.”
Harry brings the plates inside and grabs you a sweatshirt of his to put on. This was the first time you’d be wearing something of his. It was a university pullover and it was huge on you, but it smelled like him so you didn’t care. It made you feel cozy.
“I hope you weren’t too attached this, it’s mine now.”
“That so?”
“Mhm.” You smile.
Harry lights the citronella candle and you both sit in the other chairs on the deck. You both hold hands and sit in a comfortable silence until Brandon’s dad comes to pick him up.
“Well, I guess I should get going.” You say.
“Yeah.” Harry’s hands were in his pockets. He looks back at Andy who was now watching TV. “I’ll walk you to your car.”
“Thanks.”
Harry keeps his hand on the small of your back as you both walk outside. Before you can open up your car door he presses you against it, crashing his mouth to yours. You tug at the collar of his shirt as his tongue enters your mouth. He bites your bottom lip before pressing his forehead to yours.
“It was such a nice day.” You breathe.
“I’m really glad you came over.”
“Me too.”
“See you Monday?”
“Mhm.” He swallows and steps back. “Andy will be with me…school doesn’t start until Wednesday.”
“Maybe we can all have lunch together or something.”
He kisses you again, not really wanting you to leave, but he knows you have to. Even if Andy wasn’t there you probably wouldn’t stay over since you had your period.
“I have to go.” You whisper.
“I know.” One last, good kiss and he lets go of you. “Have a good night.”
“You too.” You stroke his cheek, and then get into your car.
Harry sighs when he gets inside and flops onto the couch.
“What?” Andy giggles.
“Ugh, I just really like her.” He groans into the couch which makes Andy laugh harder.
//
The first few days of classes were going well. Your period ended which was helpful so you weren’t too snippy while meeting with some of your new advisees who needed help switching classes.
“I’d like something Tuesdays and Thursdays, preferably after one.”
“Yeah…I was sort of hoping to not have Friday classes…”
“That doesn’t sound interesting, isn’t there anything else to take?”
“I’d rather just keep pushing off my math class.”
It went on like that and you wanted to scream, but you couldn’t. You couldn’t wait for the add/drop period to be over.
“Y/N?” You look up and see a shy Andy in your doorway. “I know you’re busy, but…can I hang out in here? Dad’s teaching and I’m bored.”
“Sure! Hi, yeah, come on in. I don’t have any more appointments today, and my next class won’t start for another hour.” You smile and he comes in to sit on your couch. “School starts tomorrow, huh?”
“Yup, we have two half days and a full day Friday.”
“That’s good, gets you back into a routine.”
“Mhm.”
“Are you and Brandon in the same class, did you end up on the four teacher team?”
“Yeah!” He beams. “And his girlfriend Molly is on the two teacher team, which he was sad about, but I’m happy about it. Now I don’t have to watch them flirt.” He rolls his eyes.
“You don’t like Molly much, do you?”
“It’s not that I don’t…he just…ugh, we were on the phone last night and you know what he said?”
“What did he say?” Your full attention was on him now.
“He asked if I wanted to go on a double date with him, Molly, and her best friend Alexis at the playground after school Friday.”
“Oh! What did you tell him?”
“I said I couldn’t because I have to go to my mum’s, which isn’t a lie…”
“But if you didn’t need to go to your mum’s…”
“Still wouldn’t have wanted to. Alexis is nice, but I don’t wanna go on a date with her. I don’t wanna date anyone.” He looks away from you for a moment and then back. “How…how did you know you liked my dad?”
“Oh gosh…um…well…I always liked him, we were friends for a while.”
“Yeah, but when did like turn into like like?”
“Gotcha, well, it was a couple of things. I just starting noticing different things about him that I liked more than usual, and then on the camping trip…well…he just made me feel really safe, you know? He helped me sleep better, and I hadn’t even realized it. I started feeling butterflies around him, and…when we first kissed I just sort knew it was supposed to happen.”
“I can’t believe kissing has so much power. He said he likes kissing you. He told me kissing makes your brain explode with this stuff that makes you feel good.”
“Andy?” Harry asks. “What the hell are you talking about in here?”
“Dad, get out! We’re talking!” Andy gets up and slams the door in Harry’s face. You suck your lips into your mouth to keep from laughing. “He’s so nosey.” Andy huffs as he looks at you.
“Perhaps he has a right to be.” You get up. “Would you open the door please?”
Andy sighs and opens the door. Harry was glaring at him.
“Go to my office, now.” Andy does as he says, and Harry looks at you. “I’m so sorry, I know you’re busy, and-“
“It was no problem, we were having a really nice chat until you barged in. You should really learn to knock first, Dad.” You cross your arms and smirk.
“Very funny.”
“Hey, come here.” You whisper and Harry comes closer. “I think he’s really confused about things. He was telling me how Brandon wanted to go on a double date, which, like, wow, kids are growing up way too fast these days, but, anyways, he said he didn’t wanna date anyone. Then he asked me how I knew I liked you as more than a friend.”
“I think he may have a thing for Brandon.” Harry whispers very quietly. “But I don’t he really knows that, or understands what he’s feeling right now, so I’m trying not to push it on him.” You nod your head. “Thank you for telling me what he said, though, definitely helps piece things together.”
“Dad, Brandon just texted asking if I wanna play basketball at the park, can I go?”
“Sure! I just finished my last class, so let me get my things together and we can go.”
“Awesome! Thanks.” He smiles. “Bye, Y/N.”
“Bye, have a nice afternoon.”
“Will you come over for dinner tonight?”
“Andy.” Harry sighs.
“I’d love to, but only if Dad says it’s okay.”
“You…really wanna come over tonight? You won’t be too tired?”
“It’ll help me get out of here at a reasonable hour. As long as I’m not imposing…”
“You wouldn’t be. Come by around six, yeah?”
“Works for me.” You smile.
Harry grabs Andy by the back of his shirt to push him back to his office and it makes you giggle.

“I’m so glad they’re in the same class again, Brandon was freaking out about it.” Brandon’s dad says to Harry at the park.
“Glad to know the feeling is mutual.”
“I’ve never seen Brandon with such a good friend before, it’s great. My wife and I adore Andy.”
“That means a lot, thank you. I love having Brandon over, they play really nicely together, and he’s so polite.” He watches as the two of them have fun playing basketball. “So…Brandon has a girlfriend now, huh?”
“Girlfriend.” Ed scoffs. “We’ll see how long that lasts, she’s already getting on his nerves.”
“Really?!”
“Yeah, I guess she’s mad because she wanted Andy and Brandon to hang out with her and her friend Alexis Friday, but Brandon said they couldn’t because Andy has to go to his mom’s, and it turned into this whole thing. He’s not talking to her at the moment.”
“Wow, does Andy know that?”
“No, I think B wanted to keep it to himself so Andy wouldn’t feel bad about them fighting.” He rolls his eyes. “I knew he’d start dating at some point, but I didn’t think it would be this early. I should have told him no dating until high school or something.” Ed steps closer to Harry. “You don’t think…I mean…if they did I wouldn’t care, but you don’t think….” He nods towards the two of them.
“I don’t know.” Harry sighs. “I wouldn’t care either. I think Andy’s confused if anything. He’s not quite ready to date or anything, it still grosses him out.”
“See, that seems normal for their age to me.”
“They’re all going through things at different speeds, think we just need to give it time.”
//
You show up to Harry’s around 6:15, you were in the middle of some good work and you just wanted to finish it up. You ring the bell and Andy answers.
“Hi, Y/N.” He beams.
“Hi, Andy, did you have fun playing basketball?”
“Yeah!” He tugs you inside. “We’re having taco salad tonight.”
“Sounds yummy.” You smile and walk into the kitchen with him.
“Hey.” Harry smiles and kisses you on the cheek. “Just getting everything onto the table, have a seat.”
“Thank you, sorry I’m late.”
“You barely are, it’s fine.” Harry and Andy sit down. “Andy, here’s your taco meat.” He passes him the small bowl. “I just made black beans for us, Y/N.”
You nod as Harry uses the salad tongs to put some on your plate. You all add your different fixings and dig in.
“So, how do the half days work? Will you have really short classes and go to all of them, or will you have your first few classes one day and the rest the next?” You ask Andy.
“We have homeroom, and then some big assembly, and then we have our first three classes. Thursday we have our last four classes, and then Friday is normal.”
“What’s your favorite subject?”
“Art.” He says, mouth full. “But I won’t have it until the second half of the school year, I have gym the first half.”
“All kids with last names A through M get art the first half, and then they switch. It helps mix up everyone on the different teacher teams.” Harry explains. “You and Brandon should still be together since his last name is Stewart.”
“Thank god, he and I are the only ones that actually know how to play volleyball.”
“What would that matter?” You ask.
“Every fall the gym classes have a volleyball tournament and the winning teams get to have this big event and the entire class comes, it’s so cool.”
“Oh! We did something similar to that at my middle school when I was kid.” You say.
“I like having gym in the fall, it gets me ready for the winter program.”
“What’s that?”
“Oh, it’s so cool, Y/N.” Harry says. “It’s completely funded by the school, every Friday pretty much once the mountains open up for skiing, they take the kids up for a day of skiing and snowboarding. All the parents have to do is provide snow pants and jackets, we don’t even have to worry about the other gear. Although, if you have your own you can bring it. Sometimes I volunteer to chaperone, it’s a hoot.”
“That is really cool, wow.”
“I had so much fun last year, I was way better on the slopes for our trip last February, right, Dad?”
“You definitely could see the improvement.” Harry smiles and takes a sip of his water.
“So, you ski, you like volleyball, and you play basketball. You’re a pretty active kid, Andy.”
“I love basketball, I don’t know what it is.”
“You sort of had to love it, it’s the only sport Mum and I felt comfortable with you playing.” Harry shakes his head. “He wanted play hockey and football, but we said no.”
“Why?” You ask.
“We were afraid of concussions. I know they can happen with basketball, but they’re less common.”
“I’m surprised you didn’t have him out there playing soccer.”
“I used to play when I was in elementary school, but I didn’t like it as much as basketball.” Andy shrugs.
“So, what makes art your favorite subject?”
“It’s the only time of day you can just do whatever you want. The teacher tells you about what it is they wanna see you make, and whatever tech, um….” He looks at Harry.
“Techniques.” Harry smiles.
“Yeah! Techniques, they show you those, and then they just let you do your thing. And whatever you make is right no matter what. I like painting the best, I think, but I also really liked when we did stuff with clay last year, I hope we do it again.”
“What’s your least favorite subject?” You ask.
“IMEC.” He groans.
“What the heck is that?”
“The Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre funds it.” Harry says. “It’s just for fifth and sixth graders. Andy had to make a birdhouse last year, they learn how architecture works, they learn about robotics.”
“I hated it, it was so boring until they let us build stuff. I also have a typing class this term which is gonna be boring. I already know how to type.” He rolls his eyes.
“Yes, but you still look down at the keyboard.” Harry says. “Gotta learn to not do that so you can type faster.”
“Right, because whatever job I end up applying for someday isn’t going to hire me because of how I type.” He scoffs. “I’m pretty good at math, although I don’t really like it, same for science, but this year we get to dissect squids!”
“Oh, that’s very exciting! I did the same thing in sixth grade, and our school at this science center that was run by this other teacher, and he had all these reptiles and chickens and other animals like that in there, so he came to the class and helped our science teacher with us, and then he made us fresh calamari. And I already liked calamari so I was one of the few kids that actually tried it.”
“That’s so cool!”
“Yeah, I wish the school here had a science center.” Harry says.
“The guy was so nice, and he used to go to all of the elementary schools in the area to bring frogs and snakes, so he knew us well by the time we were in middle school, and we all knew his pets well by then so there was nothing to be scared of. One day, this was also in six grade, we had class in the science center, and we were passing the different pets around, like the frogs and stuff, and I wasn’t afraid of the little garden snake or anything, but it wasn’t the snake we were used to, and the girls next to me got scared, so I was asked to bring the snake back up to the teacher, and the girl next to me accidentally thwacked the snake’s head, and the snake bit me! Right here.” You hold your forearm out and show the spot, not that there was a scar. The boys both gasp. “So, I went up, still holding the snake, and I was like it bit me. And the teacher said no it didn’t, but my arm started spurting out blood so I was like no it did, so it was this whole thing, right? He took the snake and put it away, and he got me something for my arm, and my actual science teacher had to walk me down to the nurse, but before I left he gave me a fresh snake skin to take home with me as a consolation or something.” You take a sip of your water. “It was really funny when I was down at the nurse because while one was wrapping my arm up, the other had to call home, and my mom was in Florida with my grandparents, so my dad answered and I remember the nurse says, ‘I want to preface that Y/N is fine, but she was bit by a snake in the science center’, and I heard my dad yell, so they gave the phone to me and I told him I really was fine and I didn’t need to come home.”
“That’s so wild, are you afraid of snakes now?” Harry asks.
“Not at all, actually. The bite didn’t really hurt, if anything I respect them.”
“Did your mom ever find out?” Andy was fully invested in this story.
“Yes.” You giggle. “I went with my dad to pick her up from the airport, Phil, my brother, was there too. My dad claims he asked me not to tell my mom just because it would add to her nerves, but the second she got in the car I guess I told her all about it, and my dad was not happy.” You laugh. “I’ll never forget that.”
“You always tell the best stories, Y/N.” Andy chuckles and finishes up his dinner.
You help clean up, even though Harry told you that you were a guest and didn’t need to. You fix Andy up with a bowl of ice cream before he plops down in front of the TV.
“Hey, bud, you still need to shower…” Harry says.
“Ugh, fine.” He shovels the rest of his ice cream in his mouth and puts the bowl in the sink.
You and Harry sit down on the couch together.
“Smooth.” You say.
“What?”
“Got me all alone now.”
“He genuinely needed to shower! Played basketball all afternoon, after all.” He puts his arm around you. “But I definitely mind being alone with you right now, even if it’s just a few minutes. We have a fifteen minute shower rule.”
“Smart.” You look up at him and smile.
“He’ll be at his mum’s this weekend.”
“So I’ve heard.”
“Would you like to go out Friday night?”
“Um, well, Jan and I were hoping to go out for drinks, but you could come! Or I could come over after.”
“No, I don’t wanna ruin your girl’s night.”
“You wouldn’t! You’ve come so many times before, I’m sure she won’t mind. I can ask her tomorrow if she’s okay with it.”
“Alright, but only if she doesn’t mind.” He kisses your temple.
“I should get going before things get a little too kissy between us.” You sigh. “Might not be able to peel myself away.” You say, ghosting your lips over his and pulling away with a smirk.
“Tease.”
“Sorry, babe.” You pout at him and stand up. “Tell Andy I say goodnight.”
“I will.” He stands up and walks you to the door.
“Thanks for dinner, I had fun as usual.”
“Anytime.” He pecks your lips before you head out and he sighs.
“How come she always leaves?” Andy asks coming out with his hair brush and mouse, sitting on the floor so Harry can sit in the chair behind him to do his hair.
“What do you mean?” Harry asks, taking the brush and mouse from him, sitting down.
“How come she doesn’t just stay over?”
“Um…it’s a little complicated.” He says as he runs the mouse through Andy’s curls.
“Because of me?”
“Not necessarily…it’s a little soon for her to be staying here while you’re here, though. I’m sure she will eventually. Alright, all set.” Andy stands up and plops down on the couch.
“A little TV before bed?”
“I’d rather you go read, you know that. I want you to sleep well before your first day of school.”
“Fine…can we pick out an outfit then?”
“Yeah, let’s go raid your closet.”
//
The next couple of days goes by with you barely seeing Harry. He was in and out because Andy had half days and he needed to pick him up. It gave you a chance to go up to Janette’s office to see if she minded him joining on Friday night.
“Of course I don’t mind! I mean, I was hoping for you to spill some of the juicy details, but that can wait.” She shrugs.
“Jan, there’s nothing juicy to spill.” You chuckle.
“Have you boned?”
“Well…yeah…”
“So there’s plenty to spill.”
“It doesn’t happen that often. It’s been over a week, actually. He’s been busy with Andy.”
“Single dads, they’re hot until the kid gets in the way.”
“It’s alright, we have all weekend to hang out.”
“So why even bother having drinks with me? Just go to his place and get it on.”
“No! I wanna hang out with you, get back into our routine. I just didn’t wanna leave him out.”
“I like hanging out with the both of you, it was a lot of fun last year the few times he joined us. It’s really no problem.”
“Great, thanks for being so cool about it.”
“Oh, please.” She scoffs. “We’re not in high school, I don’t care if you bring your boyfriend with you.”
“He’s…I don’t think he’s my boyfriend yet.” You sit down in one of her chairs and she quickly closes her door.
“What do you mean?”
“We haven’t had a chat about it. We know we’re together, but we haven’t had a talk about what it all means. It’s only been a couple of months.”
“Just like a man, he wants you, but won’t fully commit.”
“To be fair…I’d probably take it slow too if I had a kid.”
“Don’t make excuses Y/N, you two do so many things together, Andy adores you, Harry needs to just tell you he wants you to be his girlfriend.”
“It doesn’t exactly bother me, like, I’m not itching for the label. I’ve liked just going with the flow. It’s not like we’re seeing other people.”
“But you could if you wanted to, and he should know that. He can’t just string you along, Y/N.”
“He’s not…he wants to be with me.”
“Then he should really want to be with you.”
Janette made some good points, that had you wracking your brain around things. It was pretty clear that neither of you were seeing anyone else, but you easily could if you really want to. You would never do that, of course. You never really liked the idea of juggling multiple people at the same time. It was easier to focus your attention on one person.
“Hey!” Harry smiles. “Feel like I haven’t seen you all day. I dropped Andy off at Brandon’s, so he’ll be there until I’m done for the day here.”
“Alright.” You give him a small smile.
“How’s syllabus week been treating you so far?”
“It’s been alright, I’ve been busy with my advisees getting them the correct classes.”
“Oh, right, you got a few of the sophomores this year. Still can’t quite get it together I’m afraid.” You hum your response and nod. “Well, I’m free for a bit if you-“
“Har, I’m kind of busy. I need to prep for my next class and then I need to hunker down on my thesis. I’ll just text you later or something.”
“Oh…um, alright.”
“Jan said you’re more than welcome to join on Friday night, by the way.”
“Okay, I’ll plan for that then.”
“Could you close my door on your way out?”
“Sure.” He does so and you sigh as he leaves.
You didn’t mean to be so cold, but now you were feeling sort of pissed. If he liked you as much as he said, what was the big deal about him calling you his girlfriend? You wanted to be able to refer to him as your boyfriend. He was more than a friend, you were dating, hell, everyone knows you’re dating, so what the fuck was the hold up?
//
Friday after work you go home to change. You had barely spoken to Harry, but to be fair, you were really busy. You had a check in with Lisa that put a lot of your work into perspective. She was such a huge help, and now you two have bi-weekly meetings set up to keep you on track, which you greatly appreciated.
You wanted to look so strikingly good that Harry would get whiplash when he saw you. So, you rummage through your closet and dresser to find something, anything! You end up going with a tight pair of dark blue skinny jeans. You pair it with a black, lace bodysuit and black booties. You certainly weren’t fucking around. After fluffing up your hair, and redoing your makeup, you grab your leather jacket, and head down to your uber.
“Damn, chica, you look good.” Janette says, giving you a kiss on the cheek.
“Thanks, I feel good.” You smile and sit. “I’m exhausted, it was a long week.”
“I know, everyone thinks syllabus week is easy, but it’s not. Sometimes I’ve had to redo my entire class structure depending on the caliber in class.”
“It was the advisees for me. I could never not have my schedule together like some of these kids. I’d have too much anxiety.”
“Many of them just haven’t had the lightbulb go off yet, unfortunately, but they well. You could always ask Harry for some pointers, he’s exceptional with his advisees.”
“Of course he is.” You scoff. “He’s exceptional at everything.”
You both get through one drink before Harry shows up. He kisses your cheek and Janette’s, and then sits down next to you.
“Sorry, Andy really wanted Paige to stay for dinner because he didn’t want to have to go through how his first few days of school were twice.”
“No worries, H, glad you’re here now.” Janette says. The waiter comes over to take Harry’s drink order, and then he puts his arm around you.
“You look nice.” He smiles.
“Thanks.” You smile back.
“Feel like I haven’t seen anyone all week, it’s been madness.” Harry says just as his drink comes to the table, and he thanks the waiter. “At least our hiking retreat is coming up soon.”
“I can’t wait! Broke in a new pair of boots over the summer.” Janette says. “And you’re a pro now, right, Y/N?”
“You bet.” You sip your drink, and Harry notices the red lipstick mark left behind. You rarely wore lipstick, and if you did it was more of a nude color. Harry had a weakness for red lipstick, for whatever reason, and with you wearing it, well, he felt especially weak. You look up at him innocently. “What?”
“Nothing.” He swallows and takes a sip of his own drink.
“So, how was Andy’s first couple of days of school?” Janette asks.
“They were good.” Harry shrugs. “Normal first week stuff, learning everyone’s names, getting the schedules together, overview of what they’ll be learning, and I got the usual pink and yellow cards for emergency contact info. Guess it was good Paige was over so we could just fill them out in one sitting.”
During the night, Harry’s hand drifts down to your thigh, and it stays there, squeezing it once in a while. You knew he probably just wanted to take you home, but you were enjoying Janette’s company too much to wanna leave yet. You all were laughing and having a great time, that was until the waiter had slipped you his number under the napkin of your last drink order and winked at you.
“Wow, he’s got some balls on him.” You say as you look at the number.
“I’ll say, I’m sitting right here.” Harry says.
“Well…the three of us have come here plenty of times, he obviously didn’t think anything of you sitting together.” Janette points out.
“I should go set him straight, I’d feel terrible if he was expecting me to call.” You say and look over at him, he was standing behind the bar now. You start to get up, but Harry squeezes your thigh especially hard.
“You can’t be serious, just let it go.” He says.
“Harry, relax.” You slide out of the booth and go up to the bar.
“You don’t own her, you know?” Janette says, sipping her drink.
“I’m well aware, thanks.” He rolls his eyes.
“Perhaps if you were her boyfriend she’d feel less inclined to go let that boy down.”
“We haven’t been dating that long, Jan.”
“So? When you know you know, and I think you know you wanna be serious with her. Don’t let her slip away because you’re scared. I’ve seen it happen one too many times. Usually whatever woman you’re seeing gets fed up with being put second to Andy, but she hasn’t. She completely gets it, so stop being such a baby, and just…define the relationship.”
He huffs at that and they both look over at you and the waiter.
“Hi.” You say shyly. “Did you mean to slip me this?” You show him the napkin with his number on it.
“I did.” He smirks. “You come here a lot, you’re cute, figured I’d shoot my shot.”
“That’s very nice of you, but...” You slide the napkin back to him. “See that guy I’m sitting next to you?” You use your thumb to point behind you. “I’m dating him, and I really like him, so…I’m sorry. I just wanted you to know why I wouldn’t be calling.”
“Oh…well…alright then. Thought you two were just friends, my bad.”
“We were friends, but now we’re more.” You smile. “Hope you have a good night.”
“You too.” He smiles back and you turn around to come back to your booth.
“What?” You ask as they both look at you.
“What did you say to him?” Harry asks.
“Nothing, just…that basically I’m not single, so, no big deal.” You sip your drink and look at him. “That’s the truth isn’t it? I’m not single?”
“Definitely not.” He puts his arm around your shoulders and kisses your temple.
Once you’re all done with your drinks, you each say goodnight, and head to your ubers.
“Did you want to come back to mine?” He asks.
“I don’t have my stuff, come to mine?”
“You know, I have makeup remover wipes and face wash you can use.”
“Harry, I don’t really wanna have to put all of this back on in the morning when I go home.”
“I could give you something to wear, please? You’ve never slept at my place, I really want you to.”
“Spare toothbrush?”
“Yup.”
“Alright.” You sigh. “We can go to yours.”
He perks up, and orders the car to go to his place. You both sit in the back and he holds you close. When you get inside his house he gets you a glass of water. You felt like you were going to boil over, and the alcohol in your system makes you blurt your thoughts out.
“Harry, I know it seems childish, but are you my boyfriend, or what?” You say in one breath and he nearly chokes on his water. “We both really like each other and we’re having fun, and I’d…I’d like to be able to refer to you as such and not just the person I’m seeing.”
“Oh, babe, it’s not childish.” He cups one of your cheeks and rubs his thumb over your cheekbone. You lean into his touch.
“I just wanna know you’re all mine, Harry.”
“I am, I so am.” He wraps his arms around you and pulls you to his chest. “And you’re all mine?”
“Yes.” You say, muffled by his chest. “All yours.” You look up at him and he looks down at you. “Just say it, please?”
“I’m your boyfriend, Y/N.”
You smile at him and pucker your lips so he’ll kiss you. His hands move to cup your jaw, and he sucks on your bottom lip, causing your eyes to flutter closed. He backs you up to one of the kitchen counters, and hoists you up for you to sit on it. Your fingers tug at his hair, but he pulls them away to get your jacket off.
“Look at this.” He says, playing with one of the straps on the bodysuit. “You wore this sexy thing, and you put on such a nice lipstick.”
“Probably all messed up now.” You say giggling at his now red lips.
“Don’t care.” He kisses you again as his hands travel to your breasts. He kisses down your chest, and swirls his tongue around the lace material covering your nipple.
“You tease too much.”
“It’s what you get being such a tease all night to me, making me wait. Wanted to kill you when you got another drink.”
“Aw, I made you wait? That must really suck.” You say sarcastically.
“I didn’t make you wait that long.” You roll your eyes at that. “Are you telling me you would have fucked me on our first date?”
“Maybe not the first, but the night you came to my place to watch that movie I certainly would have been up for it.” You bite your bottom lip. “Sort of missed you since we last got frisky in my shower.”
“I know.” He sighs and presses his forehead to yours. “I’m sorry we can’t just run off whenever.”
“It’s okay, I understand.” You peck at his lips. “But…we’re alone now, so…”
“Right.” He gets his hands under your ass and you wrap your legs around his waist and kiss on his neck as he brings you to his room.
You pull him down with you, but he stops.
“Shoes, babe.” He chuckles, kicking his boots and socks off.
“Oh, right.” You laugh and do the same, then he comes back to hover over you.
“I like how eager you get, makes me feel good.” He mumbles as he undoes your jeans. You lifts your hips to help him tug them down yours legs. “This is really all you were wearing tonight?”
“Not much I can wear under a bodysuit.” You smirk.
“It’s so sexy.” He runs his hand down your body and your covered center. “What are these, snaps?”
“Yeah, it’s so I don’t have to take the whole thing off to go to the bathroom.” You blush.
“How functional.” He smirks and works to take his own shirt and pants off, leaving him in his boxers.
“There’s also a zipper on the back, see.” You roll over and arch your back to give him the perfect view of your ass, and give him a playful smile.
“I literally can’t decide if I want it to stay on or off.” His hands rub over your ass and squeeze. “Off, definitely off.” He reaches for the zipper and drags it down. “Need to see all of you.”
You roll back over and get it the rest of the way off. You cup his cheeks and pull him down on top of you to kiss. He grinds his hard dick against your center and you groan.
“Get these stupid things off.” You grunt and toe at his boxers. They come off and his cock slides between your wet folds. “Fuck, that feels good.”
He kisses down your body and you smile as he works his way to get his head between your legs. His fingers dig into your thighs and he has you put them over his shoulders. He licks a flat stripe up your center before lapping around your folds. Then he swirls his tongue around your clit as his middle finger enters you.
“Fuck, Harry.” You breathe.
He moans against you as he sucks on your clit, and gets a second finger inside you. He pumps them in and out slowly, another way of teasing. Each time he pulls them out you squeeze around him. The tip of his tongue flicks against your clit and you start panting. You clutch at the blankets around you and grit your teeth. He goes back to sucking on your clit, and that’s when you lose it. Your back arches off the bed, and your vision goes hazy.
“Oh my god.” You moan. You watch as he sucks his fingers into his mouth. “Please tell me you have condoms.”
“Course I do.” He smirks and reaches into his side table for them. “And I keep them in a nice, convenient place, unlike you.”
“I told you, I keep other things in my side tables.”
“Yeah?” He says as he gets the foil packet open. “Like what?”
“You’ll find out at some point.” You wink, and pull him down so he’s on his back.
“Got some toys or something?” He grunts as you sink down on him.
“Maybe.” You grin and move your hips in a circle on him. His hands move your ass to hold onto.
“Like what?” He groans when you start to raise and lower yourself on him.
“Maybe I would have shown you tonight if you weren’t so insistent on coming here.”
“Oh, so it’s like that, huh?”
“Yup.”
He grips your hips and thrusts up into you, causing you to make a surprised noise. You let him continue and you scratch down his chest as you bounce up and down on him. He pulls you down to him so he can keep one arm wrapped around you, and the other is snaked between the two of you so he can rub your clit. You bite down on his collar bone.
“Harry.” You whine.
“Gonna come?”
“Y-yeah.” You squeeze at one of his biceps as you gasp from the pleasure. “Christ.” You breathe.
He rolls you both over so he’s on top, and puts both of your legs over his shoulders, going in hard and fast. Your head rolls back into the pillows. He didn’t care that you were sensitive, and neither did you because his tip was hitting your g-spot perfectly from this angle.
“I’ve-I’ve never had sex like this before.” You blurt out.
“Like what?” He grunts as he continues to slam into you.
“Where it just always feel good. I feel…shit, I feel so taken care of.”
His eyes widen as he looks down at you.
“Oh, Y/N.”
He drops your legs and comes down to you, crashing his mouth to yours. He rocks in and out of you as you wrap your legs around his waist. You tug at his hair and mold your tongue to his. You were tightening around him. He knew you were close. He moves to kiss on your neck and nibble son your earlobe.
“Give me another one, babe, know you can do it.”
“H-Harry!” His voice in your ear was just too powerful. Your nails scratch down his back as you come to another release.
He gives you another few hard thrusts before he spills into the condom. He rests his head on your chest for a few moments before pulling out of you and discarding the condom. He pecks at your lips and helps you up, guiding you to his bathroom.
“Let’s see….” He rummages through the cabinets. He grabs a spare toothbrush, the makeup remover wipes, a wash cloth, and his facewash. “Here you go, take your time.” He kisses your cheek and leaves you to do your thing.
You use the toilet first, and then furrow your brows looking for something to tie your hair back. You find one of his scrunchies and use that. You wonder for a moment why he might have makeup remover wipes, but you don’t worry about it for the moment. You wash your face and brush your teeth, and put everything back. You shake your hair out, and come back to the bed.
“All set?” He asks. He had put on a new pair of boxers.
“Mhm.” You slide into the bed as he goes to use the bathroom next. When he’s done he comes right in to spoon you. “Why do you have makeup wipes?”
“Because I wear makeup sometimes if I have a nasty zit or something.” He says honestly.
“Oh.”
“Is that weird?”
“Not at all.” You turn slightly look up at him and smile. “I was just curious if they were…leftover from someone else, but that’s probably a silly thing to think.”
“Would be sort of scummy of me to leave something like that lying around for someone else to use.” He kisses your nose and you settle back down. “I’m really glad you’re spending the night here.”
“Me too, your bed is really comfy.” You sigh.
“Mm.” He hums as he nestles into you.
This was the first time in a long time you actually felt comfortable sleeping over at a guy’s place, and it felt really good.

Harry wakes up incredibly hard against you. He couldn’t help it. You slept naked, quite a bit, and he was pressed against you all night. You were still sound asleep, and he didn’t want to wake you, but he just couldn’t settle himself. He slowly detaches from you to lay on his back. You feel a shiver go through you from a lack of warmth. You reach behind you.
“Mm, Harry?” You mumble.
“M’right here.” He chuckles and reaches to squeeze your hip.
You roll onto your other side to rest your head on his chest. Your leg goes over his and your eyes snap open.
“Um, good morning.” You giggle.
“Don’t laugh, it hurts.” He groans, putting his forearm over his eyes.
“I didn’t think morning wood still happened like this the only you got.”
“Nope it does, and it’s just as annoying as when you’re a teenager.”
“Well…” You yawn. “Maybe I can help you out.”
“You’re still tired, it’s fine.”
“No, I wanna take care of you, let’s have sex.”
“I didn’t think you liked it in the morning.”
“Just because I don’t want you tonguing my puss first thing in the morning doesn’t I don’t like morning sex. I love morning sex, actually.”
“Yeah?”
“Mhm.” You start kissing on his chest.
“Get on your stomach.”
You grin up at him and does as he says. He gets a condom situated on him, and gets behind you. He slides in slowly, gripping onto your hips.
“God, you feel so fucking good.” He says once he’s all the way in. “Is it okay I didn’t finger you first, it doesn’t hurt?”
“Yeah, I’m fine, go ahead and move, Harry.”
He was so considerate, and you appreciated it so much. You were on all fours in front of him while he made slow, deep thrusts into you. He’d pull almost all the way out and then slam back in. Harry hadn’t realized just how much he missed being in a relationship. Being able to wake up and fuck the person you cared a lot about was so utterly convenient, and yet so incredibly hard to find. He wasn’t sure who to thank for brining you to the White Mountains, but he felt like someone deserved a fruit basket.
With Harry, you felt just as grateful. A year ago, you were thankful for a blossoming friendship, now you were thankful that he was your boyfriend. The guy really knew how to make run down, no other guy had ever made you so wet before, you were almost embarrassed, but he didn’t seem to care. He was probably flattered, if anything.
You feel his hand slide up your back and grip the back of your neck. His other hand slides from your hip to your clit. God, he’s so attentive. He really cares about how good you feel and isn’t concerned with getting his.
“Harry.” You moan as your head falls to your chest.
“S-say it again.” He groans.
“Harry.” You moan louder. He was hitting so deep inside you, and rubbing your clit perfectly. “Harry!” You cry out when you feel your orgasm consume you. You squeeze impossibly tight around him and he moans out your name and spills into the condom.
He pulls out slowly to not hurt you, and then throws the condom into the trash. He comes back over to your quickly and smooches your cheeks rapidly, causing you to giggle. You pull him close to you and he giggles too.
“I could really get used to this.” He says.
“Me too.”
//
You spent most of that day in and out of Harry’s bed. You had sex again in the shower, or, well, he fingered you in the shower, and then he made you breakfast, an egg frittata, and while it was baking he bent you over the kitchen table. You made some joke about it being a family space, so he just smacked your ass and told you to be quiet, and that was that on that. You were going to take a break and watch a movie, but things escalated, and he just brought you back to his bedroom. After scarfing down a pizza for dinner, you thought it might be time to go home.
“I’ve been here all day.”
“You say that like it’s a bad thing, you can stay another night if you want.”
“That’s sweet of you, but…”
“And you look so cute in my clothes.” He pouts at you. It was true, you looked very cute in his joggers and long-sleeve shirt. “You really wanna go?”
“I just…I mean, what time is Andy coming back?”
“I pick him up on Sundays, so it’s not like they’d just walk in on us. I usually get him around six.”
“Oh…you….you really want me to stick around another night? You’re not sick of me yet?”
“Sick of you?” He chuckles. “Haven’t had enough of you.”
“Okay.” You smile. “I’m too tired to drive anyways.” You press your forehead to his chest.
“Aw, did I wear my baby out?” He asks as he wraps his arms around you.
“Mhm.” You nod and smile bigger. You were his baby.
“What do you say we go get cozy in bed, I’ll turn the TV on, and you can sit in front of me, and I’ll rub your shoulders?”
“You have a TV in there?”
“Yeah, I keep it in the armoire.”
“Oh! That sounds perfect then.”
Harry puts on The Office, and you both get under the blankets, and you sit in front of him between his legs and he massages your neck and shoulders. About ten minutes in, your eyelids starts to droop, and your body fully relaxes into Harry’s. He kisses your temple and holds you tight.
“It’s okay if you fall asleep.”
“No, I feel bad.” You mumble.
“Shh, babe, it’s alright.” He coos.
“Mm’okay.” You could feel yourself really slipping into sleep. “Love you, g’night.” You mumble, and fully pass out in his arms.
His entire body stiffens and he looks down at you. His heart starts beating rapidly. Did you just say you loved him?! He just agreed to be your boyfriend, and now you’re in love with him?! TOO MUCH TOO SOON! He almost wants to wake you to ask, but clearly you said it by accident, in a haze. Would you even remember saying it? He sinks down in the bed, careful to not move you too much. He wasn’t sure how he felt about all this. How could you already love him? You still barely knew him. What was there to love?
//
Harry wakes up with bloodshot eyes on Sunday morning as he’s wrapped around you, his dick much less hard than it was the morning before. You slept peacefully all night, blissfully unaware of what you said, and his inner turmoil. You adjust into him and he holds you tighter, almost out of fear. You roll over to face him and you peck at his lips.
“Morning.” You say, nuzzling into his chest.
“Morning.” He rubs your back.
“I slept so good, I’m glad I stayed again.”
“Yeah, me too.”
“I don’t even remember falling asleep. Your hands in every way are magic.” You chuckle into him.
“Yeah? You liked the little massage?”
“Mhm, loved it.” You smile up at him and give him a squeeze before getting out of bed.
You definitely forgot saying what you said. There wasn’t even any recollection on your face. You said it yourself, you didn’t remember falling asleep.
“Hey, do you mind if I wear this home?” You say, coming out of the bathroom, putting the clothes back on that he loaned you yesterday. “Jeans and a bodysuit don’t sound like fun.”
“No, yeah, that’s fine.”
“Thanks.” You smile and crawl back on the bed, straddling him. “You’re too good to me.” You sigh, moving to lay your chest on his, hugging him.
“What can I say…I just…like you a lot.”
“I like you a lot too.” You kiss his cheek. “I’m gonna go home now. I have to go grocery shopping and get ready for the week.”
“Alright.” He puckers his lips and you kiss him again before getting off him.
“Andy won’t have any half days this week?”
“Nope, those are all done.” He says, getting out of bed to walk you to the door.
“Okay.”
“Why?”
“No reason.” You say coyly. “Just…if both are free at the same time, we could…sneak away for a bit.” You bite your bottom lip and look up at him. “Just a thought.”
“I like the way you think.” He kisses you again, and lets you leave. “God, I’m so fucked.” He says to himself and flops onto the couch, grabbing one of the pillows to clutch to his chest. He felt like he was going to collapse in on himself.
//
“You had a dream you said what to him?!” Janette screamed through your phone on Sunday night.
At some point during the day between doing the laundry and doing some meal prep, you had this weird feeling come over you, and you needed to talk about it with someone.
“It felt so real, I can’t exactly remember what was going on in the dream, but I told him I loved him…”
“Do you?!”
“I don’t know! We just really made things official! God, we did have a really nice weekend together too. No work, just hanging out and enjoying each other’s company. It’s so weird, I don’t even remember falling asleep. We were cuddling while watching TV, and then I think I just passed out.”
“Why?”
“I was exhausted…we…really enjoyed each other’s company on Saturday.”
“Damn.”
“At least it was just a dream. I’d be mortified if I had said it out loud. I wouldn’t want to scare him off.”
“So, you’re not in love with him?”
“I really don’t know, Jan. I’m falling really hard for him, I feel like I could be in love, but I really don’t know. I think it’s too soon to tell.”  
//
Harry thought about you all day. While doing his own laundry, doing his own grocery shopping, and other chores. Andy could tell right away that something was off.
“Are you alright? You were quiet when you got to the house.” Andy asks from the backseat.
“Huh? Oh yeah, I’m fine. Just a little distracted is all, sorry.”
“Did you get to hang out with Y/N this weekend?”
“Yeah, for most of the weekend, actually. It was nice. She’s, um, officially my girlfriend.”
“Took you long enough! That’s great, Dad.” Andy smiles and leans forward to nudge Harry’s shoulder.
“I’m glad you like her so much.”
“She’s been nice to me since day one, she’s cool. She’s easy to talk to, too.”
“Yeah, she is. Feel like I could chat with her for hours and never get bored.”
“I like when she comes over for dinner, she always tells a funny story. I told Mum and Noah about her snake bite story.”
“What a roller coaster that was, huh?”
“Yeah! Can we go hiking this weekend? Brandon was wondering if we could go again soon, and maybe Y/N could come too…”
“Sure, um, I’ll see how the weather’s looking next Sunday.”
“Awesome! So, guess what?”
“What?”
“Brandon and Molly broke up!”
“You’re kidding?! When did that happen?” Harry wasn’t all that shocked. Middle school relationships never lasted, but he was playing it up for Andy’s sake.
“Over the weekend. He said she was getting too clingy or whatever. He called to tell me right away. I made sure to ask if he was okay, and he said he was fine. He said he didn’t feel sad about it, is that weird?”
“Not really…maybe he didn’t like her as much as he thought, you know? It might have been exciting at camp because it feels good when someone tells you they like you, but maybe he realized he wasn’t that into her.”
“That’s basically what he said, that he just wasn’t that into her. He said even kissing wasn’t that exciting anymore.”
“There you go then.”
“Does it make me a bad person that I’m happy he’s not seeing her anymore?”
“No…but just keep in mind, if you two stay good friends for a long time, you’ll have to get used to you each dating people.”
“I guess.” Andy shrugs. “It feels like I’ll never like a girl enough to wanna date one.”
“You’ve got time to figure all that out…you…may not want to date girls in general, and that’s fine too.”
“I’m not gay, Dad.” Andy scoffs.
“I’m not saying you are, not that it would be a bad thing, I’m just saying you may find as you get older that…ugh…how do I explain this…like, for me? I just like people. I’m attracted to who I’m attracted to, and I don’t read into it more than that.”
“Ew, are you going to tell me that you’ve been with guys?”
“Well…I never have been, but I don’t think it would be gross if I did. I’m attracted to women, but I wouldn’t say I have a type. Y/N looks a lot different than Mum does, you know?”
“Yeah.” Andy ponders for a moment. “How…ow do you know you’re attracted to women?”
“Just do.” Harry shrugs. “I’m sure they’ll start talking to you about all this in health class this year, but when you really start to go through puberty, and your voice starts to crack, and stuff like that, you just sort of start figuring out what you like and don’t like. I’m not sure how else to explain it, but just know you’ve got a ton of time to figure it all out. There are people my age still figuring it out, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself, and no matter what, know that Mum and I love you.”
“You’re so cheesy.” Andy rolls his eyes. “But…thanks.”
//
The second week of classes was less stressful than the first, as far as classes went. You were stressed about your doctoral work. You wished you had done more over the summer, but you had a certain distraction to thank for not doing as much as you should have. This weekend you needed to stay in and hunker down. And you didn’t even need to feel bad about it because you knew Harry would be busy with Andy.
“Hey.” Harry taps on your door Wednesday afternoon before he heads out. He had been sort of distant this week, but you weren’t reading into it. You knew he was still working on a manuscript.
“What’s up?” You say without looking up from your computer.
“Going for a hike Sunday with the boys…would you like to join?”
“Um….” You stop typing and look at him. “I know I should say yes to get outside while it’s still nice out, but I was hoping to get some work done this weekend, so I think I’ll pass, sorry.”
“That’s fine, I get.” He clears his throat. “So…I won’t see you at all this weekend, is that what you’re saying?”
“I’m afraid so, I’m sorry.”
This whole ‘love you’ thing kept ringing in Harry’s ears. He was trying so hard to read you, but you weren’t letting on about any hidden feelings, and it wasn’t like you had said it again. Maybe you had just been so utterly exhausted that you saying ‘love you, g’night’ just felt natural, like you would have said it to anyone. That thought didn’t make him feel better either.
“Um…it’s Wednesday.” He says.
“Yes.” You chuckle.
“Sorry, I just meant, on Wednesdays I pick Andy up from school and shoot him over to his Mum’s for dinner, and then she brings him back around eight, right before bed.”
“Okay…”
“Would you like to have dinner tonight? I could come to your place if that’s more convenient, I could pick up take out.”
“I’ll take you up on the take out, but I’ll come to your place, that way you’ll be home in case he’s back early.”
“Alright.” He perks up. “Anything in particular you’d like?”
“Thai?”
“I’m on it, I’ll see you later.”
You giggle to yourself as he leaves. He was so sweet. You need to make sure you go out of your office at a reasonable time so you’d have a good chunk of time with him.
You did well, you got to Harry’s around six, and he had a sushi platter waiting for the two of you on his kitchen table.
“How much do I owe you?” You ask, sitting down.
“Don’t be silly.” He scoffs.
“Come on, let me give you some money for this.”
“It was pocket change, relax.”
You smile at him and pop a piece of sushi into your mouth.
“Mm, this is so good.”
“I’ve literally never had a bad meal at that Thai place, I feel lucky to have it here.”
“Same here, it’s a hidden treasure.” You take a sip of water and put your hand over his. “Sorry again that I can’t be there for the hike Sunday.”
“I completely understand, really, don’t worry about it.”
He wanted to just bring it up, he wanted to tell you what you said, but he knew bringing it up would open up an entire can of worms. He felt strongly about you, he cared about you, and was definitely falling for you, but he wasn’t entirely sure if he was in love with you yet.
“I love the pots that Andy painted for me, he’s really got a gift.”
“Yeah, he’s really talented.” Harry smiles.
“I…I know you haven’t let a ton of people into this little world of yours, but I’m…happy I’m becoming a part of it. We didn’t have a lot family dinners growing up, so I love how much you’ve been including me in yours.”
Alright, so not only did you adore his son as much as his son adored you, but you were expressing your feelings about becoming part of his world. Fuck, maybe he was in love you.
“You…you make me feel really special, Harry. I’ve never…really felt like this in a relationship before.” You were blushing. You weren’t sure why, over sushi, you felt like telling him all of this, but reassuring someone in a relationship was important.
“You’re so special to me, Y/N, you have no idea. I…I haven’t been this happy in a long time.” He chews his inner cheek and then takes a deep breath. “You…you said something right before you fell asleep the other night.”
“I did? What did I say?”
“You…said something sort of serious to me, and it doesn’t seem like you remember, so I haven’t wanted to bring it up, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.”
You try to think of what you might have said, and then it hits you and your eyes widen. What you said wasn’t just a dream, you had really told Harry you loved him. It was in a daze, but maybe you actually meant it.
“I think I remember now…I…shit, I thought I just dreamt that because I’ve had other dreams about you, you know?”
“So…it was an accident?”
“I don’t know.” You groan. “I was so sleepy, and you were making me feel so cozy and cared for, and…I guess it just slipped out.” You look away from him for a moment, and then back to meet his gaze. “Did it freak you out?”
“Um…a little at first, but that’s only because-“
“it’s too soon, right? It’s only been a couple of months.”
“That doesn’t matter to me. Sometimes you just know, it’s more…of an internal thing. I…to me, like, I don’t know, what’s there to love about me?”
“Harry…” You get up from your seat and have him skootch out so you can sit in his lap. You take him in for a hug, and press your head into the crook of your neck. He holds you just as close and then you lift your head to look at him. “Baby, it would take me forever to go through a list of things to love about you.” His eyes were intense as they looked into yours. It’s as if he thought you were lying.
“What are you saying, you…”
“I do.” You nod. “I…I’ve fallen in love with you.”
You had only been in love once before, and that love wasn’t even real, it was with your high school sweetheart. You had never been with someone you liked as much as you liked Harry, and it felt scary to feel so strongly about someone, but you felt it.
“Y/N.” He tucks some hair behind your ear, and that’s how you know it’s all okay. His fingers slide to the back of your neck so he can kiss you. It’s tender, and you feel a wetness on your cheeks. When you pull away you see a few tears sliding down his cheeks.
“Don’t cry, Harry.” You say just above a whisper, wiping the tears away with your thumbs.
“I can’ help it, I’m…scared.”
“About what?” You feel his hands grip at your back harder, like he was holding onto you for dear life.
“That…you’ll leave me.”
Your eyebrows raise. Paige had walked out on him, that much you were able to piece together from everything he’s told you. That mixed with the fact he hasn’t really gotten serious with anyone in a while. He clearly trusted you more than others, but you understood his fear.
“I’m not going anywhere. I’m not…I’m not going to hurt you.”
“You can’t guarantee that.”
“Maybe not, but I’m not the type to just quit on something. I know I walked away when we had that argument last month, but I feel like we’ve been doing well with checking in about our feelings since then. Don’t you agree?” He nods yes. “I want this with you, and everything that comes with it. If I didn’t then I would have never kissed you that night.”
“Well, technically I kissed you.” He jokes through his few tears, and it makes you laugh. “I want this with you too…I…”
“I only want you to say it back if you really mean it. It’s okay if you’re not there with me yet.” You run a hand through his hair to soothe him.
“I’ve fallen in love with you too.”
You smile at him and lean back in to kiss him. It’s soft at first, but he pulls you as close as possible, making it become needy. You both still tasted like dinner, but neither of you cared. He bites harshly on your bottom lip and you moan into him, tugging at his hair. He reaches around you to move the plates to the other side of the table and then lifts you on top of it, pressing your back flat to it, and keep your legs around his waist. He bites down on your neck while his fingers work to undo your pants.
“Is this okay?” he breathes against your neck.
“Yes, fuck, please, Harry.” You were panting with anticipation.
“Dad, I’m home!”
“Jesus!” Harry yelps and jumps back from you, rushing over to the door, checking himself first to make sure the strain in his pants wasn’t too noticeable. You quickly work to get off the table and button your pants back up. “What, uh, what, oh, hi, Paige.” He rambles as Paige comes into the house with Andy.
“Sorry we’re early, Harry, smart guy here left all of his homework here, so…” She blushes when she sees you, frazzled and flushed. “Hi, Y/N.”
“Hi, Paige, Andy.” You clear your throat. “We were just finishing dinner, um, I can get going.” You snatch your bag, and walk towards the door.
“You don’t have to go, Y/N.” Andy says.
“Um.” You heart was racing. You look at Harry.
“I’ll walk you to your car.” He says and puts a hand on your back to lead you out, leaving Andy and Paige confused. “I’m so sorry.” He scream-whispers.
“It’s okay.” You say, and clear your throat. “Um…maybe call me later when he goes to bed?”
“Yeah, definitely.” He kisses you quickly and then goes back into the house. “Where’s Andy?” Harry asks Paige.
“He went to his room to get started on his homework. I hope she didn’t leave because of me…”
“No! It wasn’t that…you both just sort of walked in on us.” Harry blushes and rubs the back of his neck.
“Oh!” She looks over the kitchen table. “In such a public spot?” She laughs. “How old are you?”
“It just sort of…escalated. We had a rather serious talk about our feelings, and…I got excited.”
“I know how that goes.” She chuckles and shakes her head. “So, what are these feelings?”
“We’re…in love.” He mumbles.
“Oh, Harry.” Paige nearly squeals. “That’s so exciting!”
“Shh!” He swats his hands at her. “Do you want nose-bag in there to hear?” He whispers.
“Right, sorry.” She giggles. “Maybe she and I should get lunch sometime since things are getting so serious between the two of you.”
“Paige.” Harry groans.
“Come on, you did the same with Noah. I like her, but I don’t really know her. Just run it by her.”
“Alright.”
She looks him up and down.
“You were really going to fuck her on your kitchen table?”
“None of your business, now is it?” He smirks and she rolls her eyes.
“Have a good night.” She says before leaving and he wishes her the same.
Harry cleans up the kitchen and then goes down to Andy’s room, clearing his throat.
“I swear if you had told me she’d be here, I-“
“Wouldn’t have purposefully left your homework here so Mum would have to bring you back early?”
“Was it that obvious?”
“Little bit. I thought you were feeling a little better about being over there, why would you do that?”
“Because after dinner it’s always wedding talk and I could honestly care less. I just want her to tell me what I’m wearing, and what I need to do, and that’s it. It’s so boring to talk about.”
“That’s fair.” Harry chuckles. “Do you need help with anything?”
“Yeah, actually, this geometry is already tripping me up…”
“Alright.” He cracks his knuckles. “Let’s take a crack at it together.”
Around 9PM, after Harry makes sure Andy’s in bed, and mostly asleep, he tip toes to his own room, and gets ready for bed. Once he’s comfortable, he sits up a bit and calls you. You answer on the second ring.
“Hey.” You say chuckling.
“A bit awkward earlier, yeah? Sure you still want all this?” He chuckles himself.
“Oh stop, that was a complete accident. Course I still want all of it.”
“Good.”
“I feel bad we didn’t get to finish…”
“I’d zip over there in a heartbeat if I could.”
“I know.” You sigh.
“Are you still…riled up?”
“No, I took care of it in the shower.” You say bluntly. “Why, are you?”
“Well, excuse me.” He scoffs. “Not all of us have the luxury of living alone, so no, I was helping a certain sixth grader with his geometry homework.”
“You can still do geometry?”
“I can.”
“Hot.”
“How is that hot?”
“I don’t know, I just find it sexy I guess.”
“Yeah? Using a protractor is sexy to you?”
“God yeah, did you find an irregular angle?” You were giggling now and so was he.
“Mhm, it was obtuse.”
“Fuck.” You moan, over doing it to be playful, and it makes him burst out laughing, clapping a hand over his mouth to wake Andy.
“You’re so fucking funny.”
“Think you bring it out in me, I’m usually not so hilarious.”
“I really can’t see you this weekend?” he nearly whines.
“Please don’t make me feel bad for needing to work. If you promise not to interrupt me all day Saturday, I could potentially take a break for you.”
“Deal.”
//
The weather ended up not being so great by the time the weekend came around. It was supposed to rain all day Saturday, which would make for muddy trails Sunday, and Harry wasn’t going to deal with that, so he tells Andy he’ll take him and Brandon another time. Instead, Saturday turned into a day for Harry to work on his manuscript, only, he had writer’s block. Not to mention Andy’s video games were distracting.
“Andy, can you turn that down, please!” He yells from up in the loft. A moment passes, and he can barely hear it. He wasn’t sure why he couldn’t think of much. It was perfect writing conditions.
“Hey, Dad?” Andy says as he creeps up the stairs.
“What’s up?”
“Brandon just texted, he wanted to know if I could sleepover tonight since we’re not hiking tomorrow…”
Harry’s eyes light up. Not that he didn’t want Andy around, but now he could go over to your place without feeling guilty.
“Of course! Yeah, what time does he want you over?”
“He said around 3:30…his mum said she could take us to a movie and stuff for dinner.”
“What a nice way to spend a rainy evening. Here, let me give you some money for the theater.” He takes his wallet out of his pocket and gives Andy thirty dollars.
“Thanks! I’m gonna go get my things together. Will you be able to drop me off there in a bit?”
“You bet.” Harry smiles as Andy races back down the stairs. He knew you didn’t want to be bothered, but he couldn’t help but share the news with you.
Harry: Andy’s been invited to sleep over at Brandon’s tonight
Harry: 😈
At 3:15, Harry zips Andy over to Brandon’s. He still hadn’t heard from you, but he knew you probably put your phone on do not disturb. He gives Andy a hug goodbye, and tells him to call if he needs anything, and off he goes back home. He’s able to get some work done to his manuscript, but not much, he was still too distracted from the prospect of seeing you, and getting his head between your-
You: that’s awfully convenient, sure you didn’t ask B’s parents to take Andy?
It was 6:45, and you finally texted him back.
Harry: I swear, it’s all just a coincidence. Maybe I was manifesting lol
You: come by around 8? I’m almost done with this amazing article I’ve found and I’m just taking notes from what I’ve highlighted
Harry: sounds good, babe. Can I bring anything? Have you eaten today?
You: I’ve eaten plenty, Daddy, thank you
He smirks at the thought of you most likely rolling your eyes at his caring nature.
You: if you happen to have any chocolate though…
Harry: think I can make that happen
You: amazing, see you soon!
Harry felt…giddy! He was so excited to see you, even though he had lunch with you yesterday at school. But this was different. He knew he was most likely going to get laid tonight, and he needed it terribly. He had some pent up energy from Wednesday night, and it was killing him. His own hand just didn’t do you justice. So, he saves what he was working on, and goes downstairs to go take a shower. Once he’s all clean and dried off, he puts on the cologne he knows you really like, and puts on a pair of jeans and a polo. He grabs his keys, and out he goes to the nearest bakery to grab something chocolatey.
“Two whoopee pies please.” Harry says brightly to the woman behind the counter, and she boxes them up for him. Then he’s off to your place.
You unlock your door when you hear the buzzer. You…did not look cute. Well, he probably thought you would look cute, but you didn’t feel cute. Your hair was up in a messy bun, and you were in an oversized t-shirt that had stains on it and a pair of panties and socks. You had wanted to get yourself together, but you lost track of time.
“Babe?” Harry says as he comes in to your place.
“I’m just cleaning my things up, meet you on the couch!” You yell from your office.
He sits down with the box of whoopee pies and waits patiently for you. You run walk quickly down the hall and nearly slide into the couch.
“Hi, sorry, I’m gross, and…oh my god what did you bring?!” You nearly lunge for the box on the coffee table, but he snatches it.
“Now, you told me you ate, which is why you’re getting dessert. Did you lie?” He raises an eyebrow at you.
“It wasn’t a lie! I had some French toast sticks for breakfast, and then I had a smoothie for lunch, one of those green ones that you showed me how to make.” You pout and sit down next to him. “Please, what did you bring?”
“Whoopee pies.” He grins and opens the box.
Your eyes grow wide and you grab one of them stuffing your face and moaning. He eats his a little less aggressively, but he can’t deny that it does taste really good.
“Mm, this is so good, thank you.” You say with a full mouth.
“You’re welcome.” He says, mouth equally as full, and you both laugh. “Come here.” He says after swallowing.”
“Let me go shower really quick, I wanna be fresh for you.”
“You’re killing me, Y/N.” He groans.
“Five minutes, then I’m all yours.” You stand up. “We have all night, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay then.” You wink and go into your room to shower. “Come into the bedroom and wait for me!” You yell before going into the bathroom.
He kicks his shoes off and gets comfortable on your bed. Your things were sort of all over the place, but he didn’t mind.
“Okay!” You say, coming in wrapped in a towel. “So much better. I literally was wearing the same shit all day, it wouldn’t have been fun, Har.”
“I’ll take your word for it, can I have you now?”
You nod and drop your towel. He reaches his arms out and makes grabby motions with his hand. You come over to him, and he lays you on your back, getting on top of you. His lips are on yours and his hand is trailing down your body.
“Needed this, needed you.” He says into your ear as he plants kisses on your neck, his fingers running up and down your slit.
Two of his fingers dip inside you, and at first he pumps in and out slowly. You look up at him as he looks down at you. Your mouth falling open, and moans escaping you every time something feels really good. You reach for his glasses and toss them to the other side of the bed, and run a hand through his hair. He pumps in and out of you faster, and has you panting, and then he slows it down again. You rock your hips with the motion of his fingers.
“H-Harry.” You moan as you look at him. “Take your clothes off.”
“I will, baby, I will.” He could feel you getting closer. “It’s like you said, we have all night.” He grins.
You gasp when you come to your release. His fingers rubbing against your g-spot slowly help you ride it out longer than usual. He pulls his fingers from you and gets further down the bed, opening your legs for him. He licks a few stripes up your center before diving in. Your fingers tangle in his hair as he fucks you with his tongue. His hands grip the backs of your thighs as he groans into you. This is what he wanted all day long, to just get lost between your legs.
“Taste so fucking good.” He mumbles against you and the vibrations rip right through you.
“Feels so good, don’t stop.” You bite your bottom lip as you look down at him. He looks up at you at the same moment and it all becomes too much. “I’m, oh god!” You throw your head back into the pillows as you feel him lap up your second release. “Please, fuck me now.”
“But I wanna keep doing this.” He nips at your inner thigh. “Just a little longer.”
“If I say yes, can we try something afterwards?”
“Like what?”
“Wanna show you what I have in my side table.”
“Let’s just do that now.”
“Nope.” You shake your head and smirk. “You wanna stay there, you go right ahead.”
He bites a little harder on you, but goes along with it. After making you come for two more times, he comes up for air and licks his lips. He looked like a happy puppy or something, it was sweet.
“Okay.” You breathe. “Get naked.” You place his glasses on the night table so they don’t get broken. “Get in the middle of the bed.”
“Why?”
“Because it’ll make it easier.”
“Make what easier.”
“You sure are asking a lot of questions.” You say as you rummage through your night table. “Ah-ha!” You toss a pair of handcuffs on the bed. “See, they’re plush so they won’t hurt your wrists.”
“You…you want to use these on me?”
“I certainly don’t like being restrained.” You scoff. “I have some scarves for your ankles too, but if we can just do your wrists if you feel comfortable with that.”
“I didn’t think you were into this sort of thing.”
“I mean…I don’t wanna whip you or anything like that…I just thought this could be fun, but if you’re not into it we don’t have to.”
“No! I’ll, uh, give it a try. Just the wrists though…”
You smile and grab the handcuffs as you knee onto the bed, inching closer to him. You put them on his wrists and lock them up.
“I thought you’d clip me to the headboard?”
“No, I feel like we should just try it like this first. I think you’d break my bed, you’re so strong.” You grab a condom and rip it open, and slide it onto his hard dick.
“So, is this like a I can’t touch you kind of thing, or…what are the rules?”
“You can touch me all you want, you’re just going to have a little trouble since your wrists are together. You won’t be able to reach around and grab me like you do.”
“So I can’t move you then?”
“Nope, gotta let me do it.” You grin. “Are you okay with that?”
“Yeah.” He nods, and lays on his back.
“Great.” You lean down to kiss him, and then swing a leg over him, but you’re reverse.
“You’re gonna do this like this and not let me touch you?”
“I didn’t say you couldn’t touch me.” You line him up with your center and look over your shoulder at him.
“But I won’t be able to rub your clit or-“
“No, I guess I’ll have to do it. It’s called giving up a little control, Har.”
“Alright, I can do that.”
“Okay.”
You face forward and sink all the way down on him. You both moan out. He wasn’t sure what to do with his hands. He could still reach forward to grab at your ass and hips if he really wanted to, but he knew with the cuffs on he wouldn’t be able to grab at you the way he really wanted, so he just decides to let them rest above his head on the pillows.
You switch from making circles with your hips to raising and lowering on him. His dick felt so good in you like this, and it thrilled you knowing he had just had to let you be in charge. You had a long day focusing your energy on your work, and now you got to focus your energy on him. You had very little control over the requirements for your dissertation. It had to be a certain amount of pages, you had to have a certain amount of resources, and you had little control over who would be on your committee. But this, this you had control over. You could make your boyfriend, who you loved very much, feel amazing. And Harry, poor Harry had to make big decisions all day every day to basically keep his kid alive, like all parents do. You thought maybe breaking out the handcuffs could be a nice way for him to not have to make any decisions.
“Doing okay?” You ask, looking over your shoulder at him.
“Y-yeah.” He looks up at you. “Feels good.”
You smile and bounce up and down on him faster. You had him moaning and groaning every time you’d purposefully tighten around him. You rub your clit as you grind on him.
“Miss your face.” You hear him say. You pout from how cute he is and decide to throw him a bone.
You get off to turn around, and then you sink back down on him.
“Better?”
“Much.” He grins.
In a swift motion, he lifts his arms and gets them around your back, yanking you to his chest. You let out a surprised squeal. His hands cups your ass and he moves you on him.
“Sorry, that just wasn’t working for me.” He grunts. You bury your face in the crook of his neck. “You good?”
“Mhm.” He was able to thrust into you this way anyways, so it did feel better feeling him deeper. “Do you want me to take them off?”
“No, this is actually kinda hot. Sort of a happy medium, yeah?”
“Yeah.” You kiss him as he continues to move you faster on him. “Fuck.”
“Getting close?”
“Shit, yeah.” You were starting to breathe faster. “Harry.” You moan. “Oh my god.”
He feels you pulse and vibrate around him as you release around him, and he slows himself down, giving you deep thrusts.
“Okay, now I want them off.”
You nod and get rid of the handcuffs. He pins you down on your back and smirks at you.
“What else do you have in those drawers, hm?”
“Nothing special.” You blush. “Lube, a couple of vibrators, normal things women would keep in their bedside tables.”
“Can I use one on you?”
“A vibrator?”
“Yeah.”
“But…I already have you inside me, so…don’t really need it.”
“Alright.” He pulls out. “Now you don’t. Let me use one on you for a bit, and then I’ll really give it to you.”
Your face lights up and you nod. He opens the top drawer and his eyes widen.
“Which one do you like best, baby?”
“The purple one.”
He grabs the purple, silicone dildo out of your drawer and closes it. He looks it over, almost confused of how it works.
“You put it in, and then turn it on.”
“Yeah, I get that, but what does this thing do?”
“That’s for my clit, it does everything at once.”
“Oh!” He laughs. “Duh.” He shakes his head. “Should I put some lube on it, or do you wanna-“
“Lube, I’m not deep throating my dildo.” You laugh.
He laughs too and grabs the lube out of the drawer. This was nice, just exploring, taking your time. He gets the lube on the dildo, and slowly inserts it into you. It wasn’t as big as Harry, so you were annoyed that he wanted to tease you like this.
“How often do you use this?”
“Not often, only when I’m really going through a dry spell. It gets the-oh!” He had turned it on its first level.
“How high do you usually turn it up?”
“Five.”
“But it goes up to ten.”
“I know, that’s too much.”
“Can I move it while it’s inside you?”
“Yes.” You grunt as he turns it up higher. “Would rather just feel you again, though.”
“You got to play with me, now I’m playing with you.”
“But you barely even let me do what I really wanted.”
“I know, it’ll take me some time to get used to all that.”
“Next time I’m just gonna tie you to each bed post.” He squints at you and just turns the vibrator up to seven as he moves it in and out of you. “Harry.” You grit your teeth.
“I want to make it so you think about me when you use these things alone.”
The attachment on your clit was going extremely fast, and you knew you had to be soaked from the way he was moving it around inside you.
“I would anyways, you don’t have to worry about that.” Your breath hitches when he turns it all the way up to ten.
“It’s for my own peace of mind, really. Remember, I get jealous easily.”
“Over an obje-oh my god!” Your head thrashes back against your pillows.
“An object that makes you feel like this? Yeah.”
“H-Harry, I can’t-“
“How come you never turn it up this high, doesn’t it feel good?”
“It-it does, but…” You have to swallow to keep yourself from drooling. You can’t even finish your sentence. It’s all too much. You scream as you come around the object.
Harry turns it off and slowly takes it out of you, and places it on top of the side table so could clean it later.
“Now then-“ He was cut off by your hand on his throat. He looks down at you, surprised.
“Not nice.” You breathe.
“You came didn’t you?” He smirks.
“Wanted you.” You furrow your brows at him.
“Can have me now.” He reaches forward to smooth some of your hair away from your face and you release your grip on his neck. “How do you want it?”
“Slow.”
“Alright, baby.”
He slides back inside you, finally, and he gives it to you just the way you want it. Nice and slow. You were too sensitive for him to ram in and out of you, and he knew it. It wasn’t a problem though because it was like…oh…now it was like you were making love. You wrap your legs around his waist, and his arms around his back. He places gentle kisses on your neck.
“I love you.” You whisper.
“I love you too.” He moves to look at you and then he kisses you. His tongue licks into your mouth, and you meet it with yours.
“Come for me, Harry.” You whimper, and you swear you see his eyes darken.
“Fuck, oh my god.” His motions become sloppy and then he’s coming into the condom. You weren’t expecting him to lose it so easily, but all in all you were happy. “Jesus, that was sexy.” He chuckles and pecks your lips before pulling out.
Once you both get cleaned up, you get cozy in your bed together. You both lay facing each other, legs tangled up, soft giggles between the two of you.
“I’m really surprised by you.” He says.
“I told you when we first did it. I’m open to most things. And handcuffs aren’t the weirdest things to keep around.”
“Not at all, and for the record, I didn’t think any of it was weird. I’ve used handcuffs before…just on someone else.”
“Yeah, I don’t like being restrained, like, I’ll never put those on.”
“But you like when other people are?”
“I…I don’t know, I just thought it would be nice for you to not have to make any decision for a little bit. I see you, Harry. You’re a mellow guy, but I see the little crinkles of worry on your face. Sometimes it’s nice to let someone else take over.” You cup his cheek and rub your thumb back and forth. “But if you weren’t into it, that’s totally fine.”
“So…in a way you were trying to take care of me?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s kinda…sweet.” He smiles and squishes his nose to yours. He hooks his arm around your waist and pulls you into his chest.
“I don’t like doing it like that all the time, either, I just thought it might be fun since we had a little more time.”
“I definitely had a good time, no worries about that.” He kisses your forehead. “I really like having sex with you.”
“Gee, thanks.” You chuckle.
“I just mean…I feel like we…fit well together.”
“I agree.” You nuzzle into his chest.
“I like what we have.”
“Me too.” You kiss on his chest. “I’m really happy. I know it must be annoying when I have to work all day, and I appreciate you giving me the space to do so.”
“I remember how it was for me. It’s not easy what you’re doing. I wouldn’t try to do something that would make it more difficult.”
“The whoopee pies you brought earlier were so good too, and it was exactly what I want. It was like you read my mind.” You look up at him. “Always giving me exactly what I need.”
“I love you, Y/N.”
“I love you too.” You kiss him and turn over so her can really wrap himself around you.
Most people may not be able to sleep comfortably with a guy’s heavy leg over their hip, and an arm wrapped over their chest, but you sleep so much better when Harry’s there to be your burrito.
//
The next morning you wake up and decide to make breakfast in bed for Harry. You slide away from him carefully, and put the shirt he was wearing last night on, and do your thing in the bathroom. You crack some eggs into a pan, and whip up some hash browns. You get your coffee pot going as well, and get everything on a tray. You come back into your room and smile at him.
“There you are.” He yawns and sits up. “What’s all this?”
“Made us brekkie.” You get back into bed and balance the tray over his lap.
“Thank you, babe.” He kisses your cheek and takes a sip of the coffee.
“What time do you need to pick up Andy?”
“Like eleven.” He shrugs. “So I’ve got some time.”
“Good.” You take a bite of the hash browns and he digs into one of the eggs.
Harry takes a shower with you after breakfast, and lounges with you for a bit on the couch. You show him part of your outline for your thesis, and he gives you some pretty helpful tips.
“I better get going, I’ll text you later.”
“Alright, I’m really glad you came over last night.”
“Me too, love you.” He pecks your lips.
“Love you too.”
//
Harry was on cloud nine. It had been so long since he felt like this with someone, and he felt so lucky to be with you. He pulls up to Brandon’s house, and Andy comes out right away. He gets into the back with his things, and doesn’t say a word.
“Hey, buddy, did you have a good time?” Harry asks as he pulls onto the street.
“Yeah.” He mutters.
“What did you guys do, did you enjoy your movie?”
“Yup, movie was good, we played video games, stayed up late, you know how it goes.”
Harry helps Andy bring his things into the house when they get home, and he goes right to his room.
“Are you alright?”
“Yeah, I’m just tired.”
“Okay, take a nap if you want. I’m gonna prep some of your lunches for the week. Turkey and cheese rollups sound good?”
“Yeah, Dad, thanks.”
Andy closes his door and leaves Harry in the hallway. He was a little worries, but he decides to give Andy his space. He makes Andy’s lunches, and some things for himself for the week, and goes up to his office to get some work done. His writers block was definitely gone now.
“Dad?” Andy says, coming up the stairs.
“Yeah?”
“Can I talk to you about something?”
“Of course!” He turns around and gestures to have Andy sit down on the loveseat he keeps up in the loft. “What’s up?”
“I think I sleep like you do.”
“What do you mean?”
“Like…you know how you have that body pillow to hold onto?”
“Yeah.”
“I think I need one for myself.”
“Okay, we can go to WalMart to get you one, that’s no problem.” He studies Andy for a moment. “How did you realize you sleep like me?”
“Well…whenever Brandon and I have sleepovers at his house we just share his bed because his is full sized and not a twin like mine…and…god, it was so embarrassing, I woke up holding onto him…and I moved away before he noticed, but he didn’t seem bothered either, like, wouldn’t he have woken up when I grabbed onto him? It’s really confusing, and then…my…” He hides his face in his hands. “I got up and went to the bathroom right away, let’s just say that.”
“Oh…oh!” Harry was trying to think back to when he was Andy’s age. Was eleven when these things started happening to him. “Did you have to, um…”
“No, it went away, but it was really embarrassing! Why does that happen?”
“Um…well…scientific answer?” Andy nods. “Your bladder fills up at night, right? And it ends up…well, it pushes against this thing you have called a prostate, and, uh…your prostate likes it when things push against it, so…it makes other parts of you…happy while you’re sleeping.” He runs a hand through his hair. “Plus, if you were pressed up against Brandon, you may have been-“
“And there’s no way to control it?”
“Not really…”
“I’ll just bring my sleeping bag next time. I was so embarrassed! I’m lucky he didn’t notice, or maybe he did and didn’t say anything?”
“You know, it’s not just happening to you. It happens to all boys around your age. You start going through a lot of changes in middle school. Seems like you’re just starting to…”
“But I don’t wanna go through changes! It’s awkward.” He whines. “What if it happens during class?!”
“Then you put a book or a binder over your lap, and you think about something really gross.”
“What?”
“Yeah, just think of, like, moldy food, or something sad like a dog dying.”
“Dad!” Andy groans. “That doesn’t help while I’m sleeping.”
“Like you said, maybe just start bringing your sleeping bag.”
“He acted completely normal this morning, so maybe he didn’t notice. Like, he was joking around and we played basketball before you came to get me.”
“Should be fine then.”
“And this happens to all guys?”
“Yes.”
“Even you?”
“Even me.” He can tell Andy’s trying to wrap his head around everything. “When does health start up for you?”
“Not until second term, why?”
“I’m gonna get you a book…that has all the information you could need on this…subject, and then if you have questions you can ask me, but if it’s too embarrassing you can consult the book. Just promise me one thing.”
“What?”
“Don’t Google anything. There’s…a lot of weird and wrong information out there.”
“Okay.” He stands up. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.” He watches as Andy goes down the stairs and sighs to himself.
This was the part of Andy’s life that Harry was dreading, this awkward pre-teen phase. Soon his hormones are gonna start to go crazy, and they may not be pals like they are now. They’ll get into arguments that won’t end in hugs and apologies. At least Andy was still willing to talk to Harry about these things. Harry immediately goes to Amazon, and orders a few books on puberty for Andy. This was going to be a rough ride.

Word Count: 1600+
~
"I think you look better like this, I dunno."
Izuku lets out an indignant gasp at the accusation. "And here you were saying I looked perfect before."
You giggle, turning back to the recipe with an eye roll. "Well, yes, but I hadn't seen you in an apron before." You toss your head over your shoulder, winking. "It's a good look for you, hon."
The apron in question is simple, understated. The main part of it is a smooth forest green that matches Izuku's hair, with black straps wrapping around his waist and shoulders and a baby blue pocket over his chest. It's a classic—in looping cursive on his chest reads "kiss the cook", but what makes it so perfect, however, is the smallest personal touch—the shoulder strap is held on by two white clasps in the shape of rabbit heads. The touch is subtle, but you can't help but mentally squeal at how cute he looks.
"Well, maybe I should wear it more often, then," he teases. "Oh, please." You pop up on your tip-toes, kissing him on the nose before shoving a bowl into his arms. "Less flirting, more mixing. You're the big, strong man, mix this up for me while I get out the other ingredients."
"Are we seriously making box mix brownies for your work party?" he asks with a roll of his eyes as he begins mixing the batter.
You snort. "No, the box mix is just the first step. The brownies aren't the show-stopper here, it's what we're putting on them."
"I still can't believe that you tricked us for years into thinking your godlike brownies are just Godiva brand, box mix brownies," Izuku says dramatically, lazily moving the spoon about the bowl.
"They're good, idiot. And the brownies are just an avenue for the good part, which is made from scratch."
"Box mix. My beautiful, wonderful girlfriend makes box mix brownies."
"Izuku, I will literally give you the softest hair known to man if you don't shut up about my family brownie recipe," you tease.
"First I'm not already perfect, and now you're telling me all those compliments on how soft my hair was were lies? Et tu, [name]?" His eyes are covered by his arm as he drapes it over his forehead dramatically.
You raise a single egg in your hand threateningly. "One more word and I crack it on your head."
He's silent for a long moment, meeting your playful glare with his own challenging glint. "How long am I supposed to mix this for?"
"Combined, but not smooth. We love the lumps in this house." You relax your posture a bit, setting the eggs back in their bowl and going back to collecting ingredients for the other things you've planned to bake today.
"Got it. How's this?" He tilts the bowl towards you, crossing your kitchen to lift the spoon out of the batter and show its consistency. You're satisfied with the consistency, but just in case, dip a finger in to taste. The minute your finger's in your mouth and you've nodded your approval, he slowly sets the bowl and spoon on the counter. "...also, you can try to crack an egg in my hair, but that's assuming you can reach it, box mix."
You squawk, reaching for an egg and scrambling after him as he bolts. "Izuku! That's it, get back here! I'll climb you like a tree if I have to!"
Laughter rings through the apartment as you chase Izuku, wielding an egg threateningly in one hand.
"No, no!" he calls over his shoulder. "I give, I give! Just spare me from your eggs-ecution, angel!"
You freeze, nearly dropping your weapon as you try hard not to double over in laughter. "I can be persuaded to let you off, this time, for a fee."
"What fee could I possibly pay in exchange for my life?"
You hum, eyeing him mischievously. "I think you know what I take as bribes by now." You carefully slip the egg into your apron pocket to put away later.
"Remind me?" he says innocently. You roll your eyes and tug him towards you, sealing your lips over his in a sweet, slow kiss. There's a suspicious hint of brownie batter on his lips, and when you pull back, you raise an eyebrow at him.
"Have you been stealing batter when I wasn't looking, mister?"
He grins innocently. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh, I'm sure you don't. Such an upstanding hero would never lie to me or steal brownie batter." You smile and turn away to go pour the batter into the pan. 
Izuku joins you not long after, wrapping both arms around you from behind and snuggling his face into the back of your neck. "I'm so glad you trust me, sweetheart."
"Yes, yes, I'm very loving and trusting," you tease. "Let me go so I can put this in the oven, dork."
"Nooo," he whines. "You're so huggable. Don't wanna let go."
"Oh my god, you are the worst baking partner. I'm never asking you to join a baking marathon with me again."
"But [naaaaaame]~" he whines into your ear before letting you go. "I love youuuuu." God, you can hear the pout in his voice. 
"I love you too." You roll your eyes with a goofy smile before leaning down to slide the brownie pan in. "Come on, I promised you I'd teach you to make my favorite bread, and if you behave, we can get the first proof started before the brownies are out. Can you set the timer for me, baby? Fifteen minutes."
He nods, determination flashing in his eyes. "We're gonna work together so well you'll have to ask me for help next time." 
You giggle. "Alright, alright, I get it. Let me know when the timer's set."
Izuku salutes you with a grin before dutifully setting about his assigned tasks. The rest of the baking goes as smoothly as it can–amid soft laughter, teasing jokes, and the occasional errant smear of flour, both the brownies and the bread are the best you've ever made them.
~
Bonus:
Later, when the smell of bread wafts through your apartment and the brownies are somehow successfully iced and cooling (despite your goofball's best efforts), you come up behind Izuku, wrapping one arm around him in a soft hug. "Thank you for helping me bake today, Izu."
If a man could purr, he would be. You press a gentle kiss to his back, giggling when you can feel the vibrations as he speaks. "Thanks for teaching me how to make your signature recipes."
Your eyes lock on their target as he speaks, readying yourself as your hand slowly inches toward its goal. "Mhmm. You'll never use the knowledge against me, right baby?"
He chuckles, wriggling around to turn in your arms. You panic, but it's far too late to abort the mission—you pop up on your tip-toes and pull him into a kiss before he can see what you were about to do. He smiles into the kiss, hands landing on your waist and pulling you closer. You peek one eye open to aim for the prize, and finally, finally, it cracks.
Izuku yelps when the first feeling of cold and wet seeps through his hair, yanking himself back in surprise. "Did you actually—[name]!"
In your heart of hearts, you know you should run while you can. Izuku's fast even without his quirk, but if you're quick and act while he's still processing, you can get away. So you bolt, expertly maneuvering your way around your furniture, and you're about to make it into the bathroom to hide when your feet go out from under you and you shriek as Izuku lifts you off your feet effortlessly. 
"You are gonna pay for that," he growls playfully, carrying you into the bathroom and kicking the door shut behind him. He tilts his head forward, and you whine as the egg you'd cracked onto his head slides off and plops onto yours, the yolk breaking from the force of the landing.
"Zukuuuuu," you whine, writhing in his arms as the egg seeps into your hair. "whyyyyyyy?"
He giggles, carefully setting you down. "Now you have to join me in getting cleaned up."
"I would've joined you anyway, jerk!" You roll your eyes as you untie your apron, desperate to get out of your clothes before you have to wash egg out of them. 
"I couldn't take that chance." He looks so damn smug, and god, you'd love to wipe that grin off his face, but you're more worried about stripping at present.
"Hate you," you grumble as you yank your shirt off. You yelp when arms circle your waist from behind, tugging you close as a warm kiss is placed on an egg-free section of your head.
"Love you too, my sweet little box mix."
The moment is sweet for about two seconds. Pretty much up until the moment a drop of egg white drips down onto your now-bare chest, eliciting a shriek at the cold, gross sensation.
"Okay, okay, moment over," you complain, forcing yourself out of your boyfriend's vice grip. "You can be cute when we're in the shower, egghead."
"Mhmm, and you can apologize for cracking an egg in my hair while we're there," he replies, raising a daring eyebrow at you before he strips down, himself. 
You climb in the shower after him, and true to both of your words, he is cute while you're working the egg out of his hair, and you do, in fact, apologize. Whether or not that apology is, how one might say, proper, well, it's one that Izuku accepts wholeheartedly, and isn't that what really matters, in the end?

Lay the salmon flat on a piece of baking parchment or film skin side down. Rub the salt-sugar-pepper mix on the salmon, covering it as completely as possible. Lay the rosemary stalks on top. sprinkle a very little amount of vinegar on the salmon.
Tightly wrap the fillet with the baking paper and some film or baking parchment. Move the salmon to a large enough oven pan to let it lay flat, and stack something heavy on top of it to weight it down. 
Let your salmon cure for at least 48 hours, flipping it over every 12 hours to guarantee that it seasons evenly.
Take your fish out the fridge and carefully unwrap it. wipe away all the seasoning from the fish.
Place the fish on a cutting board skin-side down. Start slicing the salmon from the tail-side. You can cut off a small piece of the meat to make cutting easier.
Slice the fish as thinly as possible. You should be able to do this by cutting the fish slanted, keeping your knife around 30 degree angle while cutting and making a small sawing movement while cutting. Very sharp knife also helps!
Go through the whole fish slicing thinly. You can freeze the excess fish after cutting, and defrost the amount you are going to use. You can season the fish more with some lemon or dill.
Bread
500 g sour cream
300 cups rolled oats
50 g butter, melted
25-50 g seaweed powder
1-2 teaspoons salt
In a bowl, mix together oats, seaweed powder and salt. Add butter and sour cream.
heat your oven to 225 degrees celcius / 430 degrees fahrenheit)
Line a baking pan with a baking parchment.
To make the round breads, pour a part of the batter in a pan and gently pat it to the desired shape. You can dust it with more seaweed powder if it sticks to your hands or tools too much. Poke the bread with a fork for a few times before cooking.
Serve hot with salmon and butter. If not eaten right away, let cool and wrap in film to prevent from drying out.
Berries and caramel ginger sauce Serves 2 15 minutes + cooling
150 g raspberries
50 g cloudberries
100 g blueberries 50 g lingonberries OR
150g raspberries 100g blueberries 50g mulberries 50g cranberries Caramel ginger sauce
2 teaspoons of powdered ginger 2,5dl / 1 cup white sugar 1 dl/ ½ cup water 50g butter, cold & cubed
In a saucepan, mix together water and sugar. Bring to boil and let boil on low heat (your burner turned into the third or fourth available setting) until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to turn golden. Turn off the heat.
mix in the powdered ginger, stir.
add in the butter, keep mixing until it is completely dissolved and mixed into the sauce. Be careful not to burn your sugar! 
In a bowl, mix together all the frozen berries. Split the mix into two serving bowls and pour some still warm caramel on top of it. 
Berries can be substituted with other non-sweetened berries. Do not substitute berries with jam or other cooked and sweetened concoctions.
Chili jelly ducks
Makes 10-18 candies depending on the mold
Active work 45min
Cooling time 2-7 hours Contains gelatine
1 pomegranate
1 teaspoon of chili powder or 1 fresh chili
200g sugar
1 dl / ½ cup clear raspberry juice or pomegranate juice
16 g gelatin
Bowl of cold water for the gelatin leaves, enough to cover them (2-5dl)
Edible gold dust
Start by putting your gelatin leaves into a bowl of cold water. They will need at least 10 minutes under water, and they need to be completely submerged
Peel and scrape the pomegranate seeds into a pot.
Pour raspberry juice and sugar in. Heat until the sugar dissolves. Use a hand-held blender or a fork to break the pomegranate seeds, but be careful: the mixture may splash a bit while doing this!
Chop your red chili into 5-6 pieces, leave the seeds in. Add to the pot.
Let the mixture boil until it has reduced to approximately half and its consistency is like thick, runny syrup.
Gently lift your gelatin out of the water and squish as much water out of it as possible with your hands. Add to the pot, and stir to dissolve.
When the gelatin has dissolved, sieve your mixture. Lay out your duck-shaped molds (or other silicon molds of your choosing!) and gently pour the mixture into them. Move to the fridge to cool for approximately 2-7 hours until your gummies are hard and squishy, and easily pop out of molds. You can store them in molds until serving! These will hold in the fridge for 3-6 days.
Lemongrass-ginger cookies
Makes 12-15 cookies Active work 20 minutes cooking time 10 minutes Contains gluten, milk and egg
150 g salted butter
250 g sugar
250 g wheat flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon of salt
 2 eggs
2 teaspoons ginger powder 50 g candied ginger pieces
1 stalk of lemongrass
Pre-heat your oven to 200 C
In a saucepan, add your butter and one chopped stalk of lemongrass. Bring the butter to boil until it froths and slightly browns. You can gently stir it once or twice while it cooks. Turn off the heat and set the butter aside to cool. Let the lemongrass steep in the butter while it cools.
In a bowl mix together ginger powder, flour and baking powder. Set aside.
When the butter has cooled down a bit, pick out the lemongrass pieces. Pour the butter into a bowl and add sugar. Mix with a mixer until the butter and sugar are properly mixed and the mixture has lightened a bit. Add eggs and mix until properly incorporated.
Slowly add the flour mix while mixing continuously. When all the flour is added and mixed in, add the candied ginger pieces and mix them in. The dough should be easily moldable cookie dough at this point. 
Roll your dough into kumquat-sized balls and move them into an oven pan lined with a parchment paper. Cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool down before eating!
Makes 12-15 tartlets 1 hour active work 1,5 hours cooking and cooling time Contains gluten, milk, egg
For the bases 180 g Wheat flour
130 g butter
80 g brown sugar 
pinch of salt
1 egg
For the filling
8 egg yolks
750 g full-fat milk or cream, both work equally well.
150 g sugar
15 grams grated orange peel
For the tartelette bases
In a bowl mix together flour, sugar and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and rub it into the flour. When the mixture is well mixed and crumbly, add the 1 egg mentioned in the first set of ingredients and knead it in. Keep kneading the dough until it forms a firm ball and does not stick to your fingers.
Wrap the dough ball into cling film and let rest in the fridge for at least 30-40 minutes.
While the dough rests, butter your tartlet molds.
When the dough has rested, flour a workstation and cut up your dough into 12 evenly sized balls. Move the balls to your tartlet molds and gently mold them to fit to your molds. The dough should be evenly thick everywhere. Cut off any excess that tries to stick out from the mold. 
Poke a few holes to your dough and gently brush the innards with egg yolk. Bake the molds for 5-10 minutes, until their edges just lightly start to brown. Unmold the bases and set them aside to cool. You can still store the bases in the molds after first unmolding them.
For the filling 1. In a bowl whisk together sugar, orange peel and egg yolks.
2. Pre-heat your oven to 175 degrees celcius / 350 degrees fahrenheit.
3. Heat the milk on a saucepan until steaming but not boiling. Move your pot away from the heat. Pour half of the milk into the egg-mixture while stirring.
4. Pour the milk-egg -mix back to the pan and heat with low heat until the mixture just slightly starts to thicken. Pour the mixture into the tartlet molds.
5. Bake the tartlets in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the custard domes up lightly. Be careful not to overcook the custard! If the slight doming collapses, your custard has been a bit overcooked and should be removed from the oven immediately. 6. Let the tartlets cool in room temperature before removing them from the molds. Sprinkle a bit of brown sugar or orange jelly on top to serve.
Makes 9-12 large buns
45min active work 2 hrs of rising and steaming Contains gluten and milk
500 g wheat flour
50 g fresh yeast or 20 grams dry yeast
200 g whey from the butter recipe
1 teaspoon salt
pinch of sugar
500 g heavy/full fat whipping cream
Rock salt to taste
water
For the butter
Pour your cream into a bowl. You will need to mix your cream to whipped cream and over. When you over whisk the cream, the fat in cream will separate forming solid clumps and leave behind light colored liquid. When all the fat has separated, strain all the solid matter from the liquid. I recommend using cheesecloth for this if one is available. Do not toss the liquid, as it will be used for the bread!
Move the separated fat into a bowl. Using ice-cold water, rinse your butter until your water runs clear. You can use a spoon or a spatula to press your butter in the water to get out all the remaining leftover.
When your water runs clear, dry out the excess and add your salt. Use a spoon to work the salt into the butter. Taste, and add more salt if desired.
Move to an airtight container and set aside to wait.
For the bread
Warm the whey until it is 36-38 degrees celcius warm. Crumble yeast into the whey. If you are using dry yeast, heat the whey to 42-45 degrees before adding the dry yeast to it.
In another bowl mix together flour, salt and sugar. Make a well into the centre of the bowl.
Pour in the whey-yeast mixture and mix until the dough becomes smooth and separates from the bowl sides. 
Cover the bowl and leave the dough to rise for 45min in a warm place.
Flour a workstation and move the dough on it. Knead the dough until it feels firm and smooth. Split the dough into 9-12 separate pieces and roll them into balls. Leave the bread to rise for another 20 minutes.
Line a steamer and turn it on high heat. When the water in it is boiling, move your buns into it. Steam them for 25-30 minutes.
After the first steaming turn off the heat and let the bread rest in the steamer for 5-10 minutes. 
Serve hot with butter.

Something to chew on
Tumblr media
When it comes to toast, my family has strong opinions. For breakfast, we’ll root around in the pantry and fridge, each of us cobbling together a different spread. My dad will chop hard-boiled eggs, mashing the yolks and bits of white into jam, delighting in my sister’s squeals of disgust. My sister’s topping is no less strange as she likes to scatter chunks of frozen salted butter on hers. Sometimes, when the salted butter “isn’t salty enough” or there’s only unsalted butter, she’ll take to the salt shaker zealously. My mother will try to stop her to no avail, but we all know not to get between her and the chocolate hazelnut spread. She’ll first trim the crusts, then slather the bread with chocolate until it forms a dense, toothsome layer.
Then, there’s the bread we choose to have for toast. Each of us are particular about the vehicle used for our chosen condiment. My dad loves bread that bear resemblance to stones, ones with a crunch and a chew. On the other side of the spectrum, my sister prefers hers akin to Wonder bread, something with enough fluff and absence of taste to accentuate the salt and fat of butter. My mom also prefers bread that is spun from air, but the local grocery store isn’t good enough. She will drive forty minutes to the nearest Japanese bakery to obtain a loaf of shokupan.
At this point, you’re probably wondering what strange toast fetish I have. One week, I’ll have Trader Joe’s peppercorn and asiago sourdough smeared with cream cheese. The next, it’ll be oatmeal sandwich bread. Or cinnamon raisin challah. Sometimes I’m so indecisive, I’ll spread my toast with a multitude of jams, making it sing with the sweetness of currants, blackberries, strawberries.
When my family devoured a focaccia at a restaurant for dinner, it seemed like we had found a bread that we could all agree on. As we licked the salt off of our fingers and stared at the loaves delivered to neighboring tables, I knew I had to try making focaccia at home. It had the potential to be the first loaf of bread we broke together.
Now, let me talk about this focaccia. Before you run away, perhaps with a scoff at bread making, or the thought of working with leaveners, stay for just a little bit longer. It’s easy to have good bread these days, but when was the last time you had bread straight from the oven? The kind that melts in your mouth? A crisp exterior that yields a soft, pillowy crumb?
This bread doesn’t demand much—you stir together flour, salt, yeast and water until they’re combined in a big, big bowl. It might be more shaggy dog and less loaf-of-bread-like, but don’t you worry. Cover it in plastic wrap and let it sleep. It will probably get more sleep than you—at least eight hours. If you do get more sleep than that, make sure to wake up at the twenty four hour mark to save your bread baby from ballooning out of control. (If you’re interested in what happens during those eight hours, Kenji Lopez-Alt breaks it all down here).
Perhaps after padding into the kitchen, the weak winter sun as pale and soft as butter on the tiles. Or maybe after your sister sneaks a peak, and tells you that “dough baby is very fluffy,” then, pour the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Plop the wobbly mass into a cast iron skillet, greased with a generous glug of olive oil. Roll the ball around until it glistens, then let it rest some more. After two hours, the ball will look like it sighed, its edges pooling outwards. If it doesn’t fit the pan completely, nudging it gently. When its stretched, dimple it so it can form pockets to hold the toppings of your choice. I scattered mine with shards of rosemary and freshly grated black pepper. I could imagine a version with Meyer lemons, bites of tartness and salt. Or one topped with slices of potato showered with cheese, a finish of caramelized crisp gold. But in truth, the focaccia doesn’t need anything. See I told you? It’s easy.
Give it another stream of olive oil and send it into the oven. The top will toast and char, bubble and brown, filling the air with a rich nuttiness. But the best part is yet to come. When I split the focaccia open, my family peering over my shoulders, it revealed a bubbly, tender crumb. Then, before I could even slice all of the focaccia, my family had beaten me to the punch. Tearing it, you can hear the delicious crackle of the crust.  
I had hopes it would last until breakfast for us the next morning. It would have been good with milky mozzarella and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Or with a poached egg nestled in soft avocado. Or some honey-roasted grapes mashed with peppery goat cheese.
But, really those things would be for toast fanatics of another kind. Even my family agreed that it was good simply naked. Chewy, salty, juicy. There was no need for hard-boiled eggs or three different jams or varied concentrations of salted butter. As my family fought over the breadcrumbs, it seemed like our opinions on bread had finally converged. Maybe next time it would last long enough for us to make toast.

Rosemary & Black Pepper Focaccia
Adapted from Kenji López-Alt’s “Easy No-Knead Olive-Rosemary Focaccia With Pistachios Focaccia” on Serious Eats
Ingredients:
500 grams (17 1/2 ounces, about 3 1/4 cups) all-purpose or bread flour
15 grams (.5 ounces, about 1 tablespoon) kosher salt
4 grams (.15 ounces, about 1/2 teaspoon) instant yeast
325 grams (11 1/2 ounces, about 1 1/2 cups minus 1 tablespoon) water
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary
Black pepper grinder
Coarse sea salt
Directions:
1. Combine flour, salt, yeast, and water in a large bowl. Mix with hands or a wooden spoon until no dry flour remains. The bowl should be at least 4 to 6 times the volume of the dough to account for some dramatic balloon-ing action.
2. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap, making sure that edges are well-sealed, then let rest on the countertop for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours. Dough should rise dramatically and fill bowl.
3. Sprinkle the top of the dough lightly with flour, then transfer it to a lightly-floured work surface. Form into a ball by holding it with well-floured hands and tucking the dough underneath itself, rotating it until it forms a tight ball.
4. Pour half of oil (1/8 cup) in the bottom of a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Transfer dough to pan, bath baby in oil, and position seam-side-down. Nudge the dough around the skillet, flattening it slightly and spreading oil around the entire bottom and edges of the pan. Cover skillet with a lid and let the dough stand at room temperature for 2 hours. After the first hour, adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 550°F. Things are about to get hot!
5. At the end of the 2 hours, dough should mostly fill the skillet up to the edge. Use your fingertips to press it around until it fills every corner, popping any large bubbles that appear. This part is probably more fun than should be allowed (like playing whack-a-mole but so much more visceral). You probably won’t want to stop, but when most of the air bubbles are gone and the dough is spread evenly around the skillet, you should call it a day. Sprinkle with rosemary and grate black pepper and coarse salt all over the surface of the dough and press down on them with your fingertips to give your baby lots of dimples. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and rub well. This might seem like a lot of olive oil, but trust me it’s what makes this toast, well, toast. We’re essentially pan-frying the dough. 
6. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until top is golden brown and bubbly and bottom is crispy when you lift it with a thin spatula, 16 to 24 minutes (Note: 16 minutes was perfect for my oven). Transfer out of skillet, allow to cool slightly, slice, and serve. Extra bread (a phenomenon!) should be stored in a brown paper bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. For optimal toastiness, reheat leftovers in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes.

Could I request a Doppio fic? Can be platonic too. I just need some innocent Doppio fluff.
So I turned it into a continuation of the previous Doppio x Reader! That one has a lot of fluff as well. This one gets a bit steamier towards the ending, but the beginning is just happy fluffy baby Doppio :D
Doppio x Reader Continuation “Beauty”
You were so excited to finally be getting out of the house! You knew it wouldn't be much, just a stroll over to the park where you would snack and joke and sit and stare up into the deep blue sky. But it would be with him, and that was all you needed…
You entire life had taken a turn for the better with that one first kiss, and you hoped things would remain that way forever. You were still under the protection of Passione in your secluded house on the shores of the Mediterranean, but Doppio came to visit you more and more often. He didn't rebel outright against his boss, but he bargained to make sure you were more comfortable in your confinement. And he even started coming to see you daily! Occasionally he had to travel away on gang business, but as soon as he returned, the first thing he did was hold you fast in his arms.
He was planning something special for today, for your 6-month anniversary in fact, and wanted to keep it a surprise till the very last minute. You smiled at yourself in the mirror, making sure you looked alright in your cute little dress. It clenched tight around your waist, somehow managing to accent your hips and bust in a flattering manner. It came up a bit low in the front, revealing a bit more of your chest that you might of been comfortable with. But maybe Doppio would like it, you thought with a giggle.
You ran through the house as you heard the lock click open. Smiling broadly, skipped into the entryway.
“Doppio!” He laughed as he pulled you into his arms.
“(Y/n)!” You squeaked as he squeezed you hard, lifting you from the ground in his surprisingly strong arms. He twirled you around as you buried your face in his sweet smelling hair. “I missed you so much,” He set you down before him, gazing into your eyes with admiration. His fingers intertwined in yours as his eyebrows raised in awe. You felt your cheeks redden as he gulped, inspecting your dress, your hair, your rosy lips. You couldn’t help but giggle while his mouth hung open in wonder.
“Doppio, you saw me yesterday.” His cheeks grew pink as he brought your hands up to his chest somewhat restlessly, stroking the back of your knuckled with his thumb. He tore his gaze away from your figure for just a moment so he could focus on his words rather than how beautiful you looked before him.
“Yeah, but I love being with you.” Almost in a panic, he quickly kissed your cheek, and your heart fluttered at the touch of his soft lips. “I love you.” He looked down at your hands as he fidgeted nervously. It was then that you noticed the several bags he had brought in.
“Is that the surprise?” You hinted at the bags.
“Oh!” He completely lost track of what he had been doing as he scrambled over to the bags. You noticed a small picnic basket along with everything else. “I have salad,” He opened the basket to reveal a small container of greens and vegetables, “sandwiches,” You gasped at the array of tiny finger sandwiches he had packed, “lemonade, tea, water– let me know if there’s anything else you want by the way.” You laughed, cutting him off.
“I’m okay Doppio. This is more than enough!” He looked back at you lovingly, momentarily becoming lost in that sweet smile. But he shook his head to clear his mind before setting his focus back on the bags.
“Well then, just wait for the big surprise…” You smiled as he drew several small packages out of the bag: Sugar, butter eggs… Wait a minute. “I was thinking,” His adorable abashed smile tugged at your heartstrings. “We could bake the dessert?”
He put you in charge of the wet ingredients, and you began stirring the yolks once he had expertly separated them from the whites. You made sure to put on a full apron, as you would probably be quite messy in your inexperience. But as for him, he seemed like a professional. You could barely tear your eyes from him as he expertly darted through the kitchen. There was something so beautiful about his slim figure scurrying about. He was almost graceful in a way, adding various ingredients into several boils, heating a pot of water on the stove, grinding down a bag of almonds. You snapped your eyes away as you found your focus drawn to his ass. What were you even making, anyway?
He came over to check on you, and you blushed under his watchful gaze. He smiled at your attempts.
“Not bad.” He several scoops of the sugar, and you realised he wasn’t even measuring it out.
“How do you know that's enough?” Your stirring slowed as you gazed at him curiously, him already having sped off to grab a large bowl. He approached you with the dish of chocolatey goop as he smiled wistfully.
“I’ve made torta caprese many times,” he inspected your mixture. “It’s an old family recipe. I always used to make it with…” his eyes glazed over as he stared off into the past. Your blood ran cold. You knew he had some dark secrets, some pieces of information he kept hidden for your own safety. So you didn’t press him, kissing his lips softly to pull him back to reality.
It was just a small peck, but every time you felt those supple lips against yours, his cheeks heat in his own shyness… You were reminded just how much you needed him, how much you loved him.
“What do I do now?” You held the mixture of yolks and sugar up questioningly. He smiled, his cheeks still rosy, as he lifted the large bowl of chocolatey batter.
“Keep stirring,” Slowly, he poured his bowl into yours as you continued to swirl the mixture. Once he was finished, he grabbed the dish of egg whites and began to beat hard. You watched him contentedly, and your eyes locked as a bashful smile came across his face. He was too cute…
Eventually you had popped the torte into the oven, wiping your hands of the sugar and butter. You both took a while to clean the kitchen, set the dishes in the washer, and make sure everything was ready for the evening ahead before you turned back to the oven. Doppio had a prideful grin on his face as you both took a deep sigh. You were amazed by how much he had done for you: the sandwiches and drinks and dessert all for that evening. And the night hadn’t even begun. Although you wanted to do a lot more with him that eat cake.
“So… What now?” You batted your eyelashes at him as you took a step closer. He seemed a bit oblivious at first.
“Well, we wait for the torte–” He stopped as your palm cupped his cheek. His eyes widened in as he slowly realised your intent. You giggled as you as you noticed a small stain of chocolate on his lip where he had tasted the batter earlier. You swiped your thumb across the smear, bringing it to your mouth as his face reddened. You slowly licked the sweet goo from your finger.
“Maybe we should clean up first?” You smiled as you felt his hand on your hip. He nodded breathlessly, his lips parted, struck dumb with his sheer infatuation. There was something about you when you acted like this. As much as he tried to pull his eyes from your lips, they would only settle on some more embarrassing part of your body once he shifted his focus.
Slowly, you tangled your fingers in his soft violet hair as he pulled you in for a kiss. His frame was strong and supportive as you melted into his arms. You were gentle at first, but slowly you lost control of your hunger. You parted your lips as you suck at the sweet residue of the batter. He gasped as your tongue slipped through, your hands slid down his chest, grasping at his sweater.
He had cared for you for so long. Kept you safe and comfortable, ensured that you were happy and well supplied, done everything he could for you. Just to see you smile. And now you wanted to do something for him.
You grabbed his ass as he squeaked in surprise. His lips parted from your as he began to speak. But, suddenly, the timer rang.
“I-I’ll check the… the cake… thing…” He scampered away to the oven while you stood frozen. Dammit, you just wanted to hold him, to kiss him, even to just rest your head on his shoulder for a minute before he went running back to the boss. But you took a deep breath to calm yourself. Later tonight. That would be your chance
You laughed as you ran  through the field. You came to the park every so often, but there was still something so liberating about the cool breeze as it blew your hair from your face. You held your sun hat on your head as you looked back at him. He squirmed underneath your gaze.
Little did you know how beautiful he thought you looked, your dress fluttering behind you in the winds as the setting sun silhouetted your curves. His heart began to pound in his chest as you smiled sweetly. He had to try his hardest to pull his thoughts away from wild fantasies.
He wanted you.
He gasped as you pulled the basket from his hand, setting it down on the grass. You spread the blanket out over the grass as he stood in silence, trying not to ogle your figure as you bent down. Instead, he focused his gaze on the sky: the brilliant purples and oranges painting the horizon over the mediterranean. He smiled, knowing that he would be sharing this with you.
“Doppio,” He turned to find you sprawled on the picnic blanket, offering a small sandwich as you giggled. His face flushed as he sat down beside you. You playfully lifted the bread to his lips, and his eyes widened as he slowly took a bite. “Did they turn out well?” You inspected his stunned expression as you took a bite of the sandwich yourself. It was amazing, and he nodded as he swallowed. But no matter how hard you tried to focus on the sandwich, neither of you could rid the other from your thoughts.
You joked and laughed as you continued to feed each other sandwiches, as he poured you a cup of lemonade, as you softly kissed his cheek, thinking him for the evening. The salad he had brought was just as amazing, and you wondered how such an adorable and hilarious and skilled chef had fallen for you.
By the time you had broken out the cake, your feet tangled together as you leaned into each other, staring into the sunset. You smiled as you took a final bite of torte from his extended hand, licking the powdered sugar from his fingers as you closed your eyes in sheer happiness. You both slowly eased your way to lie down on the blanket, staring up at the violet sky. Your ear rested almost perfectly on his heart, and you could hear his pulse race as you nuzzled into the crook of his arm. His fingers played in your hair as he gazed down at your figure.
The earth seemed so quiet and calm and serene. His sweater smelled almost like lavender as you tugged him closer, never wanting to let go.
“You’re so beautiful,” You couldn’t help but flush as he finally broke the silence. Your chest felt tight as you rubbed your thighs together restlessly. “I mean. I can’t believe I’ve found someone so… Wonderful...” Your cheeks hurt from smiling too much. How had you found someone so kind and caring? So sweet and so devoted?
“Doppio,” you sighed as you looked up at him. “I, umm,” dammit, why couldn’t you form any words? “I don’t know what to say. You tell me I’m beautiful,” you shook your head as you laughed. “You tell me I’m funny and smart and all these amazing things. I didn’t believe you at first,” You fidgeted anxiously with his sweater. “But after all these months with you,” You suddenly sat up just a bit, looming over him and placing your hand on his cheek so you could stare into those brilliant eyes, “Doppio, you’re the one who’s smart and funny and adorable and… I love you so much,” You felt you had said too much, you probably sounded like an idiot. But his hand rested firmly on your hip. Slowly, he leaned in so your foreheads touched.
“I love you too.” His whisper was strangely seductive as he pulled your lips to his. You smiled as your heart pounded in your chest, your head felt fuzzy with feelings. You stroked his cheek as he kissed you gently, his palms slowly creeping up your waist. You barely realised is as your leg reached over to straddle his hips, as your head tilted to deepen the kiss. A moan escaped his lips as you pressed your palms to his chest. It was quiet, but still quickened your heart as your tongue slipped into his mouth. His hands were inching lower and lower down your hips and you ground your pelvis into him mercilessly, your instincts beginning to take over.
But you had to break away for air, and he gazed up as you breathlessly, entranced by the kiss.
“Doppio,” You toyed with his sweater and your lips gingerly pressed against his soft neck. “I want you.” he gasped as you sucked just beneath his ear. “I’m ready, Doppio. And if you are too…” You pulled back to stare into his eyes. “Please?”
“I, umm…” His mouth hung open as his glance darted from your lips to your chest to your eyes. “I wouldn’t be lying if I said I didn’t…” he gulped, as though the words were heavy in his mouth “want you. I love you, (y/n). And I want to love and worship every inch of you,” His pulse surged and his cheeks grew red. “B-But only if you’re sure.”
You slowly smiled, placing a gentle kiss on his warm lips.
“I’m sure.”
He took a deep breath before turning the lock on the door. You fidgeted with your skirts as he turned to face you, neither one of you quite sure how to proceed. But, slowly, he stepped forward. He placed his arms firmly around your waist as he pulled you into his chest. You gasped as your hips collided, anticipation building in your stomach. As your hands reached behind his head to undo his ponytail, your lips grazed across his, gently at first. You felt yourself dissolving into his embrace as you slowly felt the full heat of his kiss. His nimble fingers traced up and down your back almost teasingly as you moaned into his lips. By now you had unfastened his hair, and you felt him shiver as your hands ran across his scalp. Your lips parted as you allowed the kiss to grow more passionate, feeling him becoming equally ravenous at your persistence.
You gasped as his hands cupped your ass, and he suddenly pulled back from the kiss, a flustering mess.
“I’m so sorry, I just, I–”
You pressed your finger to his lips to calm him. It was then that you noticed how different he looked with his hair down. He looked more mature, more… sexy. You took a shaky breath before grabbing his hands in yours. Slowly, you guided his fingers underneath your dress. His face grew hot as you placed his palms directly onto your panties.
Both of you were a bit terrified, a bit anxious. But god you wanted more.
You felt the bulge beginning to form in his pants as you wrapped your thigh around his hip. He almost squeaked as you gently kissed the corner of his mouth, and you smiled at his amusing reaction. However, in no time at all, he picked up your other thigh, carrying you to the bed as your lips pressed behind his ear. That damn turtleneck was still getting in the way of a lot of things…
You tugged at the hem of his shirt as he laid you across the mattress. Without hesitation, he pulled the fabric over his head, casting it aside as you admired his surprisingly muscular frame. His chest heaved up and down with as he looked down at your own heaving chest. Quickly, he glanced up at you for your consent. You bit your lip as you nodded.
He began attacking your collarbone with kissed as his palms cupped your breasts. He was trying his hardest to be soft, gentle, but something about the novelty of the experience, the excitement, the adrenaline, drove him to ravish you. Your hands slid up and down his nare back, feeling the heated flesh as his muscular back rippled with each movement. You mewled squirmed underneath him as he found a sensitive spot. He sucked at the flesh longingly as his hands groped at your bust. As soon as you gasped, his lips were back on your own, his tongue perusing every inch of your mouth as ground his growing erection into your hips.
Your hands slid to his rear, and rather than pulling back, he pressed onwards as he bucked his hips into yours, his lips sucking mercilessly. But he had to break away from breath. He panted hard as he looked down upon you, and slowly, you sat up. You felt a bit awkward, not wanting to break the mood. Slowly, you reached for the zipper.
“I might need some help–”
“Oh!” he nodded as he graciously reached around your back. His cheeks still bright with embarrassment and arousal, he slowly drew the zipper down. The fabric seemed to melt off of his shoulders as his gaze dropped. He gasped in surprise.
The dress you had worn had a built in bra and so, right now, you were sitting in front of him chest fully exposed. His face was struck with amazement, and your face heated as you looked away.
“(Y/n), I…” Gradually, he pressed you back onto the mattress. “I really do mean it,” You shuddered as his lips tickled the top of your breasts. “You’re beautiful.” He kissed and sucked at the vulnerable flesh as you whispered his name, tangling your fingers in his hair as you pulled him closer. You gasped as his lips wrapped around your nipple, gently nipping the tip as you shuddered. His hands pressed your hips down to the bed as his prominence ground against you. He sighed as he drew away.
You shut your eyes as he drew your dress away. You heard his belt buckle unclasp as his pants fell to the floor. Your mouth seemed to go dry as your eyes fluttered open, taking in the sight before you. He still seemed a bit squeamish, nervous in his uncertainty (as were you of course). But you were ready as he slowly drew his boxers down his hips. You averted your eyes as he crawled on top of you, visibly agitated but still determined.
His deft fingers slipped around the elastic of your panties and your entire body seemed to curl inwards with anticipation. As he dragged the fabric down your thighs, he muttered under his breath.
“You’re so beautiful, (y/n).”
