[previously on.. you and tom have spent alot of time together recently, you almost kissed but not quite.]
1 week passed
You sat on your bed in your parents house and lay staring at the ceiling, last weeks memories played over and over in your head like a bad rom-com. You remember the warm, fuzzy feeling when you were with, that was until he pulled away, of course.
You had almost kissed him, you thought that it was finally the start of something but he pulled back. You remember feeling so awkward that day and just making up a stupid excuse and leaving, Tom was obviously suprised but, you felt so embarrassed it was like the walls were getting smaller and ypu just had to escape the situation. You dazed off into thoights until you were interrupted by a persisten ringing,
Harrison is calling.. The phone screen read.
You pressed the green phone button, reluctantly at first but then you heard his friendly voice and immediately calmed down,
'Hey y/n! So good to hear your voice.' He laughed into the phone, you pulled it closer to your ear,
'Heyy, what's up Haz!?' You reply,
'I was going to text but I'm using the driving-call system thingy so, I wondered if you want me to drop by and we can get coffee like old days?' You could hear the rumble of passing cars through the crappy audio quality,
'Yeah! I'll get ready now. Will Tom come?' You ask as innocently as you can.
'Uh, no, I think he's out filming something for Harry.' Harrison replied slowly,
'Alright then, I'll be ready in ten, bye mate, love you,' I say and hang up abruptly.
I look at myself in the mirror and see my scruffy pj's, I slump over to the wardrobe and pick out a new outfit,

You decided to go for a comfy look; pink joggers, a white tank top and some converse.
Once you were ready you grabbed your phone again only to see a DM from Tom reading:
'Can we talk? x'
You didn't open the message and just decided to apply some lipgloss and head out the front door. Harrison was waiting in the car, considering usual U.K weather, the sun was bright and it was melting hot, you sheilded your eyes and climbed into the vehicle.
'Jus' so you know, I don't want this to be awkward- everything that happened with us- I think we just forget it.. I mean we weren't exactly a match made in heaven, am i right?' He chuckled and You smiled at him,
'Of course, Haz!' You slapped his hand playfully and he pulled away from the pavement in the car, you didnt want to discuss your short-lived relationship as right now, all you needed was a friend to rely on.
'How you been after the accident, 'was rough wasnt it?' He asked gently, trying to make you less-uncomfortable.
'Yeah, I'm getting better, still a bit jumpy but most the pain has fully gone.' I shifted my weight in the seat while Harrison kept me feeling reassured.
Together, you walked into the quiet cafe and took your usual window seat, Harrison got up to get usual orders, iced tea for you and hot coffee for him- no matter the weather.
He walked over to you balancing drinks and biscuits on a tray, you shook your head at him and he put the tray down with a massive CLUNK. You both fell into giggles, ignoring the confused stares from the customers.
'So y/n, Tom told me about you.' Harrison took a deep breath and leant backwards on the sofa,
'He told me about all your moments, the crash, the hotel and he said something about something in the rain.. I'm guessing a kiss..?' Harrison looked at you casually but you blushed profusely,
'Umm, I mean- it wasn't a.. It wasn't a-' You stutter awkwardly but Harrison picks up the conversation,
'He called me last night, he sounded so worried bless, he said he ruined everything, he didn't say anything else and just left the call. I need you to elaborate, tell me everything.' He stared at me patiently, lightly sipping his coffee. You cleared your throat,
'Ok.. So, last night we were watching a movie then I felt.. sick, so I went to the bathroom but I passed out with the water running it was a whole big thing but then-' Harrison interrupted you,
'You passed out? You alright?!' His eyebrows grew closer together as he held a concerned expression,
'Yeah, I mean Tom took me upstairs to lie down and get fresh clothes and then we had like this moment and he leaned towards me and then I did too and then- then he just let go? He pulled back and I don't know what I did wrong!' You lean your head against Harrison's shoulder,
'Ok, but, Tom was probably nervous, I mean when he mentions your name he lights up, I think he really likes you' Harrison said quietly,
'Why doesn't he just say so? There has been so many moments, he knows I like him back!' You say exasperated, just so fed up of chasing after Tom.
'Y/n, Tom has no idea of your feelings, he doesn't catch onto that so quickly.' Harrison chuckled and smiled at you,
'Oh, so he thinks I'll reject him?' You say sadly.
'Yeah, he doesn't want to risk your friendship,' Harrison says before standing up from the sofa,
'I'm going to take you home and you can think about whatever you need to.'
You follow him out of the door and you drive together until you get out and thank him,
'I had a really good time, see you again soon?' You nod and open the front door, as soon as your inside, you pause.
What the hell am i doing here? You think to yourself. You hear Harrison's car pull away and then swing open the door, you run out into the drive way and walk hastily down the street.
You walk for at least five minutes until you reach a large but simple house. You stride over to the door and reach out to knock when the door swings open and you loose balance.
'SHIT.' You hear a voice yell as someone grabs your arm before you topple over, the arm pulls you up with ease and you look up to see Tom, holding onto you, laughing.
'What the hell are you doing here?!' He places you back on your feet and steps out next to you on the drive way,
'Nothing, uhm, I have to go, I got the wrong house, silly meee' You lie panickedly and look at the floor to roll your eyes at yourself, What a stupid excuse! Tom grabs your arm and looks at you doubtfully before you turn to leave,
'No, you came here to say something, say it.'
'I have to go!' You say feeling your hands sweat up, as you lie to him out of pure nerves.
'Fine, y/n if you're not going to say it I will,' He inhaled and smiled,
'Y/n you're my best friend, I wouldn't want to do anything to risk what we have and that's why I didn't kiss you the other day but I need to say this this so-' He was interrupted by you, you held his cheek and kissed him, he blinked and you bit your lip, he paused for many seconds and you start to regret what your decision until he does it back, his hand holds your back and shivers course up your spine. You both lean back, he holds your hand and you both head inside.
