The studio air is thick with frustration as Harry paces, his rant about timing and incompetence filling the room. You sit cross-legged on his bed, a calm anchor in his storm, nodding along. He waves his hands, curls messy, eyes bright with annoyance. But then your fingers reach up, brushing his hair, smoothing a strand with casual grace. The effect is instant. His voice softens, the anger dissolving into static as his focus narrows to your touch. He tries to speak, but the words fail him, his chest aching with a secret he can’t voice. When you tease him about being distracted, he smirks, hiding his racing heart behind a lie. “You’re just annoying,” he says, though the warmth in his cheeks betrays him. You laugh, shoving him, unaware of the love he keeps locked behind his lips.
