WORD COUNT:Â 5.1k
SUMMARY:Â Y/N and Harry were once friends, but his career pulled them apart. Then in 2019 Harry decides to invite her to ONO London and so their story begins or more like continues.
MASTERLISTÂ |Â SUPPORT ME!
The handmade banner hanging over the white board in the classroom is crooked and two balloons have popped already. The sign reads âGood luck, Harry!â and every letter is a different color. The desks and chairs were pushed to the side to make room in the middle and the teacherâs desk is full of snacks and drinks the kids brought in for the little impromptu party the class decided to throw before Harryâs big day.
He is going to his big X Factor audition this weekend and though he is not convinced he will make it, everyone in school is rooting for him. If anyone deserves the success itâs Harry, the goofy, kind boy who makes everyone smile and always helps whenever he can.
The soon-to-be rockstar is mingling with his friends and classmates, music is playing in the background and the chatting is nonstop. Everyone keeps asking Harry if heâs nervous or ready or which judge he is afraid of the most. He tries his best to talk to everyone and be everywhere, though he keeps an eye on one specific girl.
Y/N has been staying in the back for most of the time, sipping on some soda, listening to her friend as he enjoys the spotlight. Sheâs been friends with Y/N for quite some time, they live just a street away from each other, they often bike to school together and whenever one of them is sick the other one can be expected to show up at their house with the homework.
Good friends. Thatâs what they are. But deep down, Y/N is definitely feeling more than just friendship towards the curly haired boy who is now set to step his foot on the road to fame.
When the party is over and everyone has headed home already, Harry and Y/N are the last ones to walk out of the schoolâs building.
âSo, be honest, are you nervous?â she asks as they are walking home , pushing their bikes this time. Harry said he hurt his ankle at PE today so he better not get on the bike, but in reality⊠he is just trying to spend more time with Y/N.Â
âKind of, yeah,â he admits with a chuckle.
âIâm sure you will crush it.â
âYou think so?â
âI know so,â she smiles at him and his heart skips a beat.Â
Harry has been trying to work up his courage to ask Y/N out since probably the sixth grade, but he just never got to the point. Now he tells himself that if he gets into X Factor she will see him in a different light and thatâs when he should ask her out, but little does he know he doesnât need to be in a talent show to have her like him enough to want him.
Reaching her house she wishes him good luck and even hugs him before he waves goodbye and continues his way home. Y/N stands by their front door and watches him get farther away, hoping that whatever happens that weekend wonât change their friendship.
The tour bus is quiet, everyone is asleep. Everyone, except Harry.Â
Lying in his bunk bed, his face is illuminated by his phone as he aimlessly scrolls on his social media apps, checking out posts by fans, reading news, just killing time. He knew he shouldnât have had a nap earlier, because now it will be way too late by the time he can fall asleep and wonât be rested enough when they arrive in the next city.Â
He opens up Instagram and goes through his feed, he posts a picture he took of the crowd at the show the other day and then watches the likes flood in like crazy.Â
Going back to his feed he goes through his friendsâ posts, itâs just the usual, parties, vacations, hanging out, everyone seems to be living their life even though Harry often feels like time has stopped since heâs gotten on the road.Â
He can feel himself growing sleepier and he is just about to put his phone down when he comes across a post that wakes him up.
Y/N is not one to post often, she is not like most girls he knows who want to share every and any moment of their life. Last time she uploaded something was probably weeks ago. This time she was snapped in her graduation gown, her hair flowing in the movement flawlessly and he recognizes her parentsâ home in the background. It totally slipped Harryâs mind that in a life he left behind graduation was happening these days.Â
He scrolls down to the caption and all it says is âSoonâ and then a crown emoji. Itâs enough for him to know sheâs going to Kingâs College London, thatâs what she always dreamed about and it seems like she hasnât changed her mind.
Before he could think about it, he double taps on the picture liking it, completely oblivious to how fans can see his activity and they instantly start guessing about who the girl is whose graduation photo was liked by Harry Styles.
The screaming intensifies wherever Harry goes on the stage, he is jumping and shaking his long hair to the music while his bandmates are singing âSteal My Girlâ and the girls are going crazy, the energies are insane, Harry loves performing, this is truly his element.Â
Heâs been on the road for what feels like forever and if you asked him what day it was, he would have no idea. Itâs a miracle he knows which city he is currently in.
Walking to the side of the stage he stops for a moment right before the bridge thatâs his part. He lifts his mic to his lips and starts singing when the music dies down right before his lines.
âShe knows, she knows, that I never let her down beforeâŠâ
His voice fills up the stadium, thousands are singing together with him and he runs his gaze over the sea of people in front of him. He sees so many faces, some are even familiar, Harry tends to remember fans he sees over and over again at their concerts, but most of them are new. The song carries on and the boys start singing along with him, Harry is about to move back to the middle of the stage, but then he sees her.
He sees Y/N.
Or so he thinks. Itâs hard to tell, because itâs dark and she is so far away from the stage, it could be just someone who resembles her, but something in his gut tells him itâs her.Â
He does a double take, losing the familiar face for a moment but then he finds her again and a shiver runs down his spine. He hasnât seen her in years, life has been simply way too hectic to keep in touch, last time he met her was probably in 2012 when he went home for Christmas, they ran into each other in town and promised to talk soon because they were both kind of in a hurry, but they never followed up with it. Y/N went to college, Harryâs career was skyrocketing, it was impossible to stay as close as they were before X Factor and Harry always regretted not trying harder, because now he has no idea whatâs happening in her life.Â
Niall walks up to him and pats him on the back and Harryâs focus shifts to his friend for just a moment, but itâs enough to not find her again when he looks back at the audience. Did she duck down? Walk out when she realized he was looking? Or did he just entirely imagine seeing her and it was just a mirage?Â
He canât get her out of his head for the rest of the show and he finds himself looking for her over and over again, but he doesnât see her again and his consciousness starts to convince him she wasnât even there.Â
It was just a cruel trick his own mind played on him.Â
Why does he feel like he is sending out an invitation to the Queen of England? Why is he so nervous to hit send on an email? This is nothing Earth shattering, nothing will happen if he sends it out and life will go on even if she never replies.
One Night Only is set to happen in a few weeks and Harry is now sending out his invitations to his friends and family, he wants everyone who matters to be there on such a big night. Making the list was no hard task, but then he thought of inviting Y/N as well even though they havenât talked in so long.
The other night, Harry found himself stalking her Instagram which he is still following. She has been posting once or twice a month, tiny glimpses into her life that doesnât include Harry anymore.
But he wants to change that.
âFuck it,â he mumbles under his breath and then adds her to the list of people who will get the invitation and then he just hits send and itâs officially out there.Â
Harry is not necessarily one to get overly obsessive about something, but the next few days he finds himself checking his inbox every hour, scrolling through the new emails, looking for one particular address to show up, but he has to come to the conclusion every time that Y/N hasnât answered.Â
Days go by, Harryâs enthusiasm fades and by the end of the week he is convinced she wonât be there and soon he doesnât even have time to think about it.Â
One Night Only arrives to London in december. The venue fills up with excited and devoted fans, but no one is more nervous about tonight than Harry.Â
He is ready, his band is ready, everything is perfectly in place, but he knows he wonât feel fully calm until he is on stage, performing to the people who gave him this amazing life.Â
It all goes as planned, Fine Line is finally officially out there (it has been for about a week if we are being exact) and Harry couldnât be happier. Coming off the stage he is still high on adrenaline, taking all the congratulations the crew and guests are giving him relentlessly. His smile is so wide, itâs starting to hurt his face, but itâs a pain he could happily deal with for the rest of his life.
He hugs his mum and sister, all his old friends, they do a group hug with the band and he is sure he has greeted everyone by now, but then he spots one specific figure in the back of the room.
At first he thinks he is just imagining it. That his mind is playing the same trick on him it did a few years ago when he thought he saw Y/N at one of their concerts. Blinking a couple of times he is ready to watch her disappear like a ghost, but as the seconds go by he realizes that she is truly there.
Y/N is standing across the room with a nervous smile, looking all grown up and most importantly fucking beautiful. Even though Harry has seen plenty of pictures of her from recent times, itâs still a shock to have her stand in the same room as him.Â
His body moves before his brain could process it. His feet start to carry him towards her and before he even realizes he is running and when he finally reaches her he wraps her in his arms, twirling her around, making both of them laugh.
âYouâre here!â he breathes out, still hugging her even when he has put her down.
âI am, you invited me!â she chuckles and they finally lean back enough to look at each other.Â
âI know, but⊠you never replied, I didnât think youâd come and⊠You are actually here,â he repeats.
âSorry I didnât reply, I wasnât sure until the very last minute if I would come,â she admits nervously.
Harryâs invitation was all she could think about since the morning she got the email. It was more than unexpected, for a moment she even thought it was just some kind of prank, but it came from Harry's old email address, so she had to believe that it was genuine. She hesitated until probably a few days ago when she woke up one day and just knew that she had to be here tonight.Â
âItâs okay,â he smiles at her softly, taking in her every feature. The girl he knew is still there, but she changed a lot, she looks so much more mature and her features have definitely gotten a lot more feminine.Â
She looks gorgeous.Â
Suddenly it all comes down on him clashing, all the questions, the feelings, he wants to know everything, but he fears they donât have enough time.
âHow long are you staying?â he then asks.
âI took a couple of days off, Iâm staying for three more days.â
He sighs in relief.Â
âCome on,â he smiles, his hand taking hers. âI want to know everything.â
âEverything?â she chuckles, ignoring the tingles wherever his hand is touching hers.
âHarry, donât assault the poor girl! She almost didnât come!â Gemma chimes in. Harry stops, his eyes snapping back and forth between Y/N and his sister.
âWait, you knew she would be coming?â he asks Gemma, who is sipping on some champagne with a knowing smile. She shrugs.
âYeah.â
âAnd you didnât tell me?â he scoffs, hands on his hips. The sight makes Y/N laugh, because she can see his sixteen year-old self in the pose so vividly, itâs insane.
âYou never asked,â Gemma says and walks away. Harry turns back to Y/N.
âShe messaged me if I got your invitation,â she admits.Â
âSo youâre telling me, all I should have done is to send you a message and ask for confirmation?â
Y/N just chuckles, shrugging her shoulders innocently. Harry exhales as he shakes his head.
âAlright, now you truly have to tell me everything.â
âCan you hear me?â Harry asks, as the FaceTime finally loads and Y/Nâs pixelated face fills his phoneâs screen. He leans back on his plush couch and he tries his best to ignore how fast his heart starts pounding in his chest when he hears her laugh.
âYeah, I can hear you,â she answers and it seems like she just sat down somewhere too.
Struggling with the unstable connection they share how their day has been so far, though Harry has been up just for a few hours while Y/Nâs is almost over. The time difference has been making it hard for them to keep in touch, but Harry has learned his lesson and he bends his schedule around these talks, because thereâs no way he would waste even a moment he could spend talking to her.
ONO and the days that followed changed everything. It didnât take long for Harry to realize that his boyish crush is still very much present and after seeing her it quickly evolved into something more mature. Seemingly, Y/N has been sharing these feelings, because it appears she enjoys spending time with Harry in any way possible just as much as he does.Â
It took them quite some time to catch up and it feels like they still havenât shared everything they missed in each otherâs life in the past years, but they know they have all the time they need, even if the circumstances might not always be the best. They are both trying their best.
Thereâs a comfortable silence in their call where both of them are just staring at each other through the screen. The unsaid things have been hanging there between them, they know itâs more than just their old friendship rekindled, but saying the words out through a FaceTime call wouldnât be right.
âI miss you,â Harry finds himself mumbling the words, kind of to himself, but she hears the words.
âI miss you too,â she replies, biting her lip as she adjusts the phone in her hands.
âCan I⊠Can I see you before I go on tour?â
âThatâs like⊠in three weeks,â she chuckles.
âI know. But I want to see you.â
âI donât know, I have a regular, mundane job, Iâm not an international rockstar who can just travel whenever itâs convenient,â she reminds him jokingly.
âOkay, then let me visit you.â
âYouâre way too busy to come here.â
âIâm never too busy for you.â
She gasps at his words, the pink clouds so thick around her mind itâs almost sickening. If only she could reach out and through the screenâŠ
âLetâs talk about it tomorrow and if you still think the same, we can⊠figure something out,â she smiles shyly. Harry knows heâll feel the same tomorrow and the day after and forever. So he just smiles and nods.
They chat some more until Harry has to leave. Unwillingly, but they end the call and return to their separate lives.
Y/N stays on her couch, her phone still in her hands and Harry on her mind. Her TV is on, but itâs been muted, the screen is the only thing illuminating her in the dark room. With a tired sigh she reaches for the remote and turns the volume back on.
The news are on. She stands from the couch and starts cleaning up, not even listening to what they are talking about on the screen.
â... therefore COVID-19 has been officially declared a pandemic. WHO warns everyone to wear a mask in all public places, countries with a high number of cases are urgently discussing what other safety measures shouldâŠâ
Y/N is questioning her sanity. She has been for the past week that was spent packing her suitcase, she took three covid tests in the last two days and now she is about to board a private jet at an airport thatâs scarily empty. The last part shouldnât be surprising, the whole world is under lockdown because of the pandemic, Y/N has spent her last month isolated in her apartment, right until one day Harry begged her to fly over to him.
âY/N, please. I will settle everything, Iâll send a private jet for you, pay for it all, just please⊠please come here and be with me!â
Thereâs probably nothing she can deny from him. So here she is, escorted onto a private jet by an airport worker, they are both wearing their masks, just like everyone she has seen in the past week preparing for her travel.
Just as she settles in her seat on the jet, her phone buzzes from a text.
HARRY: Everything alright? Are you boarding already?
With a smile hidden under her mask she types her reply.
Y/N: On the plane, weâre taking off in 10.
HARRY: I canât wait to see you.
Last time she traveled overseas was for a vacation years ago. She flew commercial then and it felt like hell, wedged between an obnoxious little boy and a middle aged woman who complained about everything. Now itâs just her and literally one single stewardess who is there to serve her. Itâs a whole different experience for sure.Â
Luckily, the journey feels a lot shorter when sheâs comfortable, she can get up anytime and eat excellent food instead of some weird frozen meal on a plastic plate. By the time the jet touches down she feels rested and most importantly excited to see Harry again. It feels like forever when they had to say goodbye in december and in all honesty, it took them way longer to reunite, but itâs all because of the pandemic. Itâs late april now, they were planning to meet about a month ago originally at the end of march before his tour was set to kick off. By now he was supposed to be on the road through Europe, but instead, he has been under lockdown just like the rest of the world.
She walks through LAX as if it was zombie land, itâs so eerily empty she is expecting zombies to round the corner any minute, but it never happens. She reaches the car waiting for her, the driver loads her begs to the trunk and then they are off to Harryâs place.Â
Itâs her first time at Harryâs LA home, and naturally it still baffles her to see where heâs gotten from his old life in Holmes Chapel, one that included her.
But his life includes her now as well, she reminds herself just as the car rolls up the long driveway. Getting out of the car she is about to grab her suitcases from the back of the car when the front door flies open and Harry sprints out. Literally.
He is running towards her with such speed, she almost gets knocked over when he finally reaches her and locks her in his arms, twirling around in the air.
âYouâre here!â he breathes out, making her laugh.
âWere you not expecting me?â she teases him when he finally puts her down, but his arms remain around her.
âItâs just⊠Iâm so happy to see you,â he smiles widely, taking her in. She hasnât changed much since December, maybe her hair has gotten a little longer, but she looks the same.
However their feelings are nowhere near the same.
He thanks the driver and then grabs all her bags, urging her to come inside. Y/N wanders further into his home exploring it right away, already migrating towards the pool outside. Harry sets her luggage down in the hallway and walks after her, watching her stop by the sliding doors, admiring the enormous backyard. She turns around and catches him staring.
âWhat?â she asks, nervously laughing.
âNothing,â he shakes his head. âIâm just really happy youâre here.â
Heâs nervous. Thereâs no use in denying, anyone could see it. But no one can blame him, itâs been so long since he last stood on a stage, heâs afraid he lost his groove, though the people who know him beg to differ.Â
Washing his teeth in his fluffy robe he is eyeing his outfit for tonight thatâs hanging in the corner. He knows his fans will love it, the color pink alone would make them go feral, but the sparkly vest with no top underneath will be surely like they won the jackpot.Â
He spits and rinses his mouth just when thereâs a soft knock on the door and just by the rhythm of it he knows who it is.
âCome in!â he calls out, wiping his mouth with a towel just when Y/N pokes her head inside, her body following a second later.Â
âHey,â she smiles shyly, taking him in for a second as he moves around the room.
âTold you, you donât have to knock when you come in,â he chuckles.
âBut, what if youâre⊠naked or something?â
He stops and stares back at her, giving her an âAre you kidding me?â look that gets her all flustered in an instant so he decides to take it even further.
âNothing you havenât seen, baby. In fact, you can see it right now if you wanted to.â He starts untying his robe, but she stops him laughing and taking the opportunity of having her so close now he wraps her in his arms and kisses her.
It never gets old. The feeling he gets whenever he gets to kiss her, whether itâs a good morning kiss right after he wakes up, or a tired kiss at the end of the day, a needy kiss when he just wants her more than anything or a make-up kiss after a fight, which doesnât happen often. He can count it on one hand how many times they got into an argument since theyâve become an item in April 2020, when Y/N spent most of the lockdown with Harry. Originally, she planned to stay only for a couple of weeks, but she didnât return home until the start of June and she was back by July.
Now itâs September 2021, so itâs been almost one and a half years since then and they are still just as in love as they were during lockdown.
âYouâre nervous,â she mumbles against his lips and itâs not a question. She knows him, all of his looks, his movements, she knows what he thinks about most of the time if not always, she can read him like a book.
Harry hums and just goes in for another kiss.
âYouâll be amazing, donât worry,â she smiles at him, patting his chest as she pulls back. âAnd even if you make a mistake, the pink sparkles will distract everyone,â she jokes, nodding towards his outfit.
âYouâll be out there?â
âOf course. Iâll be the one screaming the loudest.â
âAs loud as last night?â The cheeky grin that stretches across his face is proof that he is not that nervous if he can make dirty jokes.
âShut up or Iâm going home,â she laughs, poking a finger into his chest teasingly. He grabs her finger and pulls her back for another kiss.
âNope, youâre stuck here. With me,â he smirks, lips coming over hers again.
The bittersweet feeling has been lingering around the crew not just all day, but probably for a week now. Everyone knew that the end was coming and now that the final show is officially here, the emotions are overflowing. Everything they are doing, they are doing it for the last time on Love On Tour. Itâs the last stage, the last sound check, last time Wet Leg takes the stage before Harry and itâs the last time Y/N is sitting in his dressing room, watching him put on his outfit of the night.
She can sense that he is different than he usually is before a show, he seems antsy and his eyebrows have been furrowed probably since lunch. Y/N watches him pace the floor back and forth in his sparkly outfit, nervously fixing the wire behind his neck even though itâs exactly in the same spot it usually is.
âDo you want me to help?â she asks and Harry stops in his tracks, as if he just realized what heâs been doing. His hands fall by his side as he exhales sharply.
âSorry, just⊠fidgeting.â
Y/N stands from the couch and walking over she absentmindedly fixes his fringed vest, planting her palms onto his chest gently.
âItâs okay to be sad, H,â she reminds him. Harry tends to hide his big, sad feelings, because he feels like it would bother others. He is always so considerate about dealing with everyone elseâs feelings, but this time his emotions should be in focus as well.
âI donât want to be sad, thatâs the thing. It was a great experience, sadness should not be a thing when I think of Love On Tour.â
âBut thatâs why itâs okay to be sad. Because this amazing experience is ending and itâs natural that youâre mourning it. It lasted, what? Like almost two years? And if we count in the planning, this tour has been part of your life since 2019. That was four years ago, no one expects you to just let go of it laughing.â
Harry nods, his arms snaking around her waist as he pulls her into his embrace, needing to feel her close in this overwhelming moment. Sheâs been his anchor, the person he could turn to no matter what during this insanely long tour, heâs convinced he couldnât have done it all without her.Â
Not even Harry can slow time down, so the moment to step onto the stage for the last time in this tour finally comes. Y/N stands with his family and friends at the side, holding Anneâs hands whenever an emotional song is played by him. He puts one thousand percent into it, just like every time on this tour and Y/Nâs chest swells with pride when she realizes that itâs one hundred thousand people screaming at her lover.
Or fiancĂ©, to be exact.Â
When Harry sings Falling, to his fansâ surprise, she notices him looking for her in the crowd. The song is melancholic and it was written about a time he felt at his lowest, but to look in his eyes tells it all to Y/N.
He is not there anymore, because he has her.Â
Sheâs twisting her diamond ring around her finger as tears dwell in her eyes while she sings along to the song, hoping that her expression tells him too, that she is happy to be the person who brought light into his life, because he did the same to her.
Then the time comes for Harryâs thank you speech and no eye is left dry after his words. Y/N has to swallow back her sobs when he turns to her and addresses his words straight to her.
âMy love, thank you for everything, you were such a big part of this journey and I hope that our journey will continue forever.â
The fans are screaming, phones are pointed at her, recording her reaction as she just nods eagerly, one hand covering her wobbling lips.Â
For his final piano piece Y/N moves backstage to watch him from there and be there when he walks off the stage for the very last time in the history of Love On Tour. She is standing there with the proudest and most emotional expression on her face when Harry jumps down the steps and he smashes into her arms right away, burying his face into the crook of her neck. She can feel his tears against her skin and she gently keeps combing her hand through his hair, giving him as much time to recover as he needs.Â
When he finally lifts his head his eyes are glassy, but thereâs a smile on his lips.
âYou did amazing,â Y/N tells him, gently wiping his cheeks with her hands.
âAnd you did too,â he says and his words make her laugh.
âI didnât do anything.â
âYou did the absolute most, Y/N. You gave me your love and support and I couldnât have done it without those.â
Her heart melts as she pushes up to her tiptoes, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips.
âYouâll forever have those. Youâll forever have me.â
