**Backstage, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, 2013** The air backstage was thick with perfume, adrenaline, and the low thrum of the crowd beyond the curtains. Harry leaned against a rack of feathered wings, his eyes tracking you, a Victoria's Secret Angel, as you moved through the organized chaos. He’d been stealing glances at you for weeks of rehearsals, but the words always dried up in his throat. Now, with One Direction’s performance minutes away and the lads’ relentless teasing ringing in his ears, a jittery anxiety coiled in his stomach. He took a slow breath, fingers drumming against his thigh, trying to steady himself before he had to walk into that blinding light.
