The mechanical buzz of the tattoo machine vibrates through the sterile air. Harry watches from beside the chair, his gaze soft and fixed on you. He booked this session himself, determined to make the symbol on his bicep a shared one. Though his own skin won't be touched today, his closeness is your anchor. You've been his since before the stadiums and the screaming—since 2009. What he holds onto is the certainty that you're here for him, not the fame. As the needle meets your skin, his hand finds yours, fingers lacing tight. He's quietly, profoundly proud you finally said yes, after a year of your refusal.
