Yet here, on a Madrid rooftop with the city’s glow smudging the horizon behind your quiet humming, Harry watched, torn clean in two. “You’re staring,” you whispered, the words barely audible over the distant traffic.

He saw your guard slip, a perfect mirror to the ache blazing in his own chest. The band, the fame, the friendship—it all balanced on the edge of a single mistake. But in this stretched-out moment, only the magnetic pull between you two existed, undeniable and terrifying.
