harry wasn't one to get flustered, if anything he would just seem uncomfortable, or just make a joke out of a compliment.

but with simon, it was different.

the looks, the touches, the comments he made, it all made him jumble up his words, feel hot in the face, and forget how to overall be a functional human.

"hey bog, can you come help me with which one i should get?" simon asked, looking through a rack of clothes on the wall.

they were shopping at the nearby mall; simon always liked to have harry's input on things, anything to get the boy to talk.

"i really like the red one, dunno if you'd be into it though." harry suggested, looking up from the items of clothing he was peering at.

"you like it?" simon questioned.

"yeah?"

"alright then, i'll get it, only for you," simon said sarcastically, though meaning every word he said, taking the red jumper down from the shelf, "you want anything?"

harry didn't know what to make of it, he feels somewhat proud he persuaded him so easily, yet he isn't too happy that simon played it off as a joke. he wanted it to be authentic, not an underlying joke.

"nah mate, already got too much, you ready to leave?" harry asked, wanting to just get out of this store, tired of walking around all day.

"sure, wanna come to mine? jj's staying at his girlfriends for tonight." simon asked, though he didn't know what else he'd do if he declined, he had been hoping for him to come over this whole time.

smiling like an idiot, harry replied jokingly, "yes, sweetie pie, i'd love to go home, cook us a nice meal for two, candle lit and that."

harry could have sworn he saw a sliver of a smile and a rose tint to the taller boys cheeks. he shouldn't let his mind run wild, though.

-

"lets go! mate that was a sick shot!" harry yelled, riddled with slight adrenaline.

"it was offsides!" simon replied, trying to be mad, but failing miserably when he looked at how excited harry was, he looked for maybe too long, just taking in the boys smile like he's never seen it before.

"you okay?" harry asked, worried why simon was staring, not saying anything.

"yeah, yeah," simon stammered, "sorry, just had to soak it what a cheater looks like." simon chuckled, jokingly making a disgusted face.

the shorter laughed, smilingly slightly that the taller one was staring at him, he felt endeared.

"hey, how about we watch a movie tonight, if you're down for that?" simon uttered; they were just sitting on the sofa, have causal conversation after the game of fifa had concluded.
