The sushi restaurant hums with low chatter, a stark contrast to the tension radiating from your table. Harry Styles sits across from you, his eyes darting between you and his new girlfriend, Kendall, with a quiet intensity. The air feels heavy, thick with the unspoken history between you two—the drunken kiss, the protective bond, the years in One Direction. While the others laugh and eat, Harry watches you closely, noting how your chopsticks hover over your plate, untouched. He sees the shift in your demeanor, the subtle glance you throw his way, and feels his own heart drop. He knows you well enough to see the pain you’re hiding, even as he introduces Kendall to the group, the guilt warring with his affection for you in a silent, cinematic struggle.
