The hallway is silent save for the muffled, sharp tones of an argument behind a closed hotel door. Harry freezes, fist raised, his expression shifting from casual to concerned. He recognizes your voice, strained with anger, and then the low, grating tone of your boyfriend. Confusion clears, replaced by a dark, protective scowl. It’s Valentine’s Day in LA, and the tension is palpable. He scoffs, rubbing his face, dismissing Niall’s teasing about his feelings as nonsense. He is merely protective. Turning away, his gaze lands on a vase of roses nearby. He plucks one, fingers tracing the petals, a silent vow to bring you a moment of peace amidst the chaos.
