Synopsis: Harry and readers son has always been attached to Harry and always being anxious when he's not around but one evening the anxiety flies through the roof and Harry's immediately there to comfort his son. Most things don't work but Harry has the perfect remedy up his sleeve...

"Ethan go to sleep," you called up the stairs hearing your five year old son shouting for you. "But mummy!" "Ethan go to sleep." "Can I tell you something mummy?!" A soft sigh left your lips and you closed your eyes "go to sleep Ethan otherwise I'll come up there and put bedtime music on instead!" Harry soon called, backing you up and instantly making the boy fall silent. It was always difficult to put him to sleep, especially at 7 pm, he just didn't like going to sleep, always and constantly making up reasons as to why he can stay awake. But you and your husband Harry have to always be firm with him. It takes its time but it works.

Harry exhaled beside you, running his fingers through his hair before he looked at you "anything we doing tomorrow?" He asked, voice slightly husky from how tired he was his hair a beautiful mess and his green eyes darker than usual yet still filled with nothing but the utmost love. "Don't think so," you shook your head slightly before Harry jumped up dropping his phone onto the couch allowing you to get a look at his phone which was on the ring camera showing the delivery driver waiting outside. You had both had hectic days and most definitely didn't feel like making dinner. Harry quickly rushed to the door pulling the door open and smiling at the man "thank you so much," he took the food from him, the keys jingling in the door quite loudly sending pure anxiousness through poor little Ethan

"Daddy!!" The boy yelled at the top of his lungs "daddy don't leave me!" You felt your heart sink into the pit of your stomach, Ethan always had anxiety about you or Harry leaving him... it was horrible.. him believing that you'd up and leave him to fend for himself. No way. It broke your heart that his vivid imagination was capable of creating such venomous thoughts.

Harry quickly dropped the food onto the kitchen counter before running up the stairs hurriedly and rushing into Ethan's room, finding the boy stood up tears streaming down his cheeks his chest heaving "hey... hey... oh," Harry's muscular arms quickly wrapped around the small boy, lifting him up into his embrace, the boy beginning to sob into Harry's neck fisting his T-shirt in his hands as the child wailed,

"I thought you were going to leave me daddy! I-I thought- I- I would never see you again!" Harry rubbed up and down Ethan's back slowly and gently rocking him back and forth in his embrace "shhh... I'm still here.. I'm right here... I'm never gonna leave you. I couldn't leave you. I love you too much." Harry continued rocking him back and forth in a soothing manner, pressing little kisses to the top of his head the boys crying soon dying down as he became calmer and calmer.

"I love you daddy" he whispered out quietly "I love you too, bud... love you to the moon and back in fact," he spoke softly chin resting atop of his head "don't leave me daddy... I scared..." he whispered and Harry hushed him softly "I'm not gonna let you go. Okay? I'm here." His hand continuously rubbed up and down his back slowly and gently over and over again, his fingertips massaging into the boys spine and Harry heard his sons breathing grow deeper proving he was starting to relax and so that's when Harry decided to send his son completely into dream land, a peaceful dreamland...

"You want me to sing for you?" He soon asked quietly, receiving a little 'mm-mm' in return and he smiled softly before pressing a kiss to his forehead,

Sweet creature
Had another talk about where it's going wrong
But we're still young
We don't know where we're going
But we know where we belong
And oh we started
Two hearts in one home
It's hard when we argue
We're both stubborn
I know, but oh
Sweet creature, sweet creature
Wherever I go, you bring me home
Sweet creature, sweet creature
When I run out of road, you bring me home
Sweet creature
We're running through the garden
Oh, where nothing bothered us
But we're still young
I always think about you and how we don't speak enough
And oh we started
Two hearts in one home
I know, it's hard when we argue
We're both stubborn
I know, but oh
Sweet creature, sweet creature
Wherever I go, you bring me home
Sweet creature, sweet creature
When I run out of road, you bring me home
I know when we started
Just two hearts in one home
It gets harder when we argue
We're both stubborn
I know, but oh
Sweet creature, sweet creature
Wherever I go, you bring me home
Sweet creature, sweet creature
When I run out of road, you bring me home
You'll bring me home

Soon after those lyrics came to an end Harry continued humming them over and over again until feeling the boy go limp in his embrace and he smiled softly, pressing a kiss to his forehead before carefully lowering him into his bed, covering him with his blankets and placing a teddy in his embrace "love you buddy. Sleep well." He paused for a moment or two to make sure he would remain asleep before he silently left the room before hurrying downstairs to where you were, you had already set up dinner and as soon as Harry appeared around the corner you smiled wrapping your arms around him instantly and pressing a kiss to his lips "I guess we know he loves your singing just as much as me hm..." a soft giggle left your lips and Harry smirked pressing a kiss to your forehead "I guess so. But it makes sense... mother like son hm?" He smiled giving you a squeeze "I love you." He muttered gently "love you too." You rested your head against his chest listening to his heartbeat, your heart was his and you knew your sons heart was Harry's too... Harry was not only your comfort person but Ethan's as well... you both needed him as much as each other... but Harry needed you just as much... he may be your everything but you're his everything as well.
